Without any words exchanged, the battle commenced.

Fierce winds struck from the sky, scattering the clouds like rolling waves.

Once Gouchen and Emperor Qinghua joined forces, a sea of blood churned with overwhelming momentum.

Streams of Immortal Energy transformed into brilliant rays, whizzing over the heads of Anu and Jia Ye, colliding fiercely with the eight Bodhisattvas.

The surrounding Arhats trembled in fear and scattered in all directions.

"Observe my Kasaya!"

A light shout rang out, and from the sky surged a Sanskrit-filled radiant light.

Within that radiance, a dazzling Kasaya expanded across the heavens, bearing down upon the Gouchen God and his allies.

"It's Randeng Ancient Buddha."

Emperor Qinghua charged forth.

"So troublesome!"

Gouchen God thought, as his Heavy Sword deflected the Kasaya, following Emperor Qinghua without delay.

A sudden red glow burst open in the high sky, the light of the Kasaya instantly eclipsed.

This transformation prompted everyone to deploy their Protective Divine Light.

A massive red cloud rose from above, accompanied by countless sparks flying in all directions.

The heat wave swept over Emperor Gouchen like a shockwave.

With a thunderous crash, the splendid and holy Kasaya behind him was shattered in the heatwave.

Gouchen steadied himself amidst the fiery gale, barely managing to raise his head.

Above in the high heavens, Sun Wukong did battle with Buddha.

Their fight stirred the winds and clouds, with violent heat waves erupting, as if to devour the heavens and earth with unmatched fury.

"Your Majesty, don't let the flames reach the Mortal World!"

Emperor Qinghua yelled towards the sky.

"Alright!"

Sun Wukong, clasping the Jingu Bang, shot directly into the sky, where countless sword shadows appeared, their edges radiating with unstoppable shooting force towards Buddha.

These were the Jade Emperor's mightiest Tribulation Swords.

Sun Wukong had mastered them completely, their sword shadows shone brilliantly, invincible.

Gouchen could scarcely trace the shadows of those swords.

But Sun Wukong relied still on the Jingu Bang.

He broke through the void and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, a gigantic pillar of fire tore through the darkened sky, roaring towards Buddha.

The Jingu Bang, filled with the desire to battle and a heavy killing intent, made everyone below shiver.

The battle of Gouchen God came to an immediate halt.

"Separate..."

However, the vast Tao echoed with Buddha's chant, shaking heaven and earth.

His body suddenly split, one becoming two, then transforming into countless avatars as numerous Sanskrit symbols flashed across the sky.

A wild wind swept the heavens, all the sword shadows let out a piercing wail, turning into meteor streaks absorbed by those Sanskrit symbols.

Amidst loud explosions, thick smoke rose in the sky.

The area turned into a blurred zone, where nothing could be seen.

When everyone regained their senses, the sky was filled with golden lotus flowers.

These were Buddha's lotus flowers, each petal a Sanskrit symbol, each an incarnation of him, neither born nor perishing.

As these lotuses opened, Buddha's figure vanished.

"Sun Wukong, take this move!"

Buddha's icy voice sounded, and suddenly a golden bowl appeared in the sky.

The Golden Bowl rapidly enlarged, transforming into a mountain-sized mass, bearing down on Sun Wukong.

"Well met."

Sun Wukong bellowed with laughter, unleashing a swing of his staff, a colossal pillar of fire like molten lava poured out towards the golden bowl.

A clang resounded—

Jingu Bang clashed with the Golden Bowl, shaking heaven and earth, causing endless waves of disruption in the sky.

Terrifying waves swept across the battlefield, grazing past the people below.

In the massive shockwave, countless Arhat robes were shredded to bits, and a distant mountain peak also vanished with a thundering collapse.

Everyone gasped in shock.

After the shockwave passed, they all turned their awestruck gazes towards the two sun-like figures.

Sun Wukong and Buddha were still in combat.

At a glance, neither seemed to have gained the upper hand.

The battlefield of the two was interwoven with Immortal and Sanskrit texts, as if constructing an Array, nebulous and majestic, causing palpitations in one's heart.

Gouchen God wanted to go up and help, but he retreated not long after advancing.

His power was weakened up there; apart from Sun Wukong and Buddha, it seemed a third person's strength was not needed.

"It seems he doesn't need my help."

Gouchen retreated to a safe airspace and said, "What is the significance of us two guardians?"

"Our significance is not here."

Emperor Qinghua answered, to intervene in the battle between Sun Wukong and Buddha, the cost would be enormous.

"Your Majesty hopes that we control Lingshan, preventing its people from leaving, so that Immortal and the others can rebuild Wanling Country, can you understand?"

Emperor Qinghua inquired.

Gouchen then understood.

"So that's it."

Sun Wukong's goal was the Western Continent.

The entire Lingshan was encircled, Buddha intended to trap Sun Wukong here, to decide fate with one battle.

However, at the same time, wasn't Sun Wukong also wishing to corral the people of Lingshan to easily take down the Western Continent?

"Interesting."

Gouchen felt this battle was becoming more interesting.

Sun Wukong bet the future of the Western Continent on himself and Emperor Qinghua, such a large bet, nothing could be more challenging.

"This is no simple task."

Gouchen thought as he rushed towards the eight Bodhisattvas.

The flames of war blazed fiercely.

The light from the flames illuminated the skies of the entire Western Continent.

Beneath the crimson night sky, Immortal Zhenyuan flew over mountain after mountain, landing on the riverbank.

He released Daji and Qing Yuanzi.

"This is..."

Daji stood up, looking at the boundless river ahead, "Tongtian River."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded his head.

"The time has come, rise!"

At his command, the Tongtian River emitted a roaring sound.

A city surrounded by bubbles slowly rose from the river bottom, like a reawakening ancient behemoth.

"To build a movable city under the sea, I truly am a genius!"

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at the city, unable to suppress a sense of pride in his heart.

After the city rose, the bubbles also disappeared.

Countless rays of light flew out from within, landing in front of Immortal Zhenyuan.

"Immortal."

Bull Demon King, eager to try, asked, "Can we act now?"

Immortal Zhenyuan looked around at the densely packed Wanling people, all of whom looked at him with fervent eyes.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

The Wanling people replied in unison.

"In that case..."

Immortal Zhenyuan raised his brow, "Let's go take back our home!"

In the night, countless pairs of eyes lit up instantly, glimmering along the bank of Tongtian River.

"Home, our home!"

"Wanling Country!"

"We can rebuild Wanling Country now!"

The Wanling people spoke of their yearned-for homeland, feeling their blood ignite within.

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at those joyous faces, a feeling of warmth and thrill swept over him, as if returning to that distant, destroyed homeland.

"Move out!"

He waved his hand, "Let's go home."

In the night, a light song rang out.

The song carried distant memories, sweeping across the entire Western Continent.

The Wanling people lurking in various countries all cast their eyes in that direction.

After waiting for so many years, they would soon be able to go home.
