Since martial arts are evenly matched, let's compare divine skills. Sun Wukong clenched his hand, instantly activating his body outside body, and hundreds of Sun Wukong's figures dispersed, launching towards Red Boy.
Red Boy was not to be outdone, who couldn't use body outside body?
Waving dual blades, the blood river above his head rolled, and countless Asuras charged out to meet Sun Wukong's body outside body.
Hundreds of blood-red and golden figures collided wildly, constantly causing mana blasts. Sun Wukong's body outside bodies depleted their mana and vanished directly.
Red Boy's clones exploded into a blood mist, and once enough blood mist is absorbed, they would form new clones. At first, both sides were evenly matched, but soon Sun Wukong's clones were at a disadvantage.
Sun Wukong was so anxious that he was scratching his head. He found that the blood river provided too much enhancement to Red Boy, so he swung his staff to quickly enlarge it and try to smash it apart.
The result was that the blood river seemed to have a life of its own, and once Jingu Bang touched it, it was entangled again. The blood from the river even tried to taint the Jingu Bang and wanted to invade Sun Wukong along the staff.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly exerted all his strength to pull back his staff, which pained him greatly.
Red Boy saw this and laughed heartily.
"Sun Wukong, do you admit defeat now or not?"
Although Sun Wukong suffered a small loss, he was never one to admit defeat.
"Little brat, don't get cocky!"
With that, he directly activated Great Divine Power of Dharma Heaven and Earth. The monkey's body began to swell rapidly, skin and fur began to harden, and mana filled his entire body as he kicked at the Asuras approaching him.
With a loud boom, it was like stepping on a tomato, with red juice splattering everywhere.
Red Boy's goal was to win, and he naturally refused to admit defeat now.
He roared, "Just Dharma Heaven and Earth? I can do it too!"
Surrounded in blood mist, he began to enlarge as well. The two of them grew rapidly until they turned into giants as tall as sky, glanced at each other, and the stone monkey with its giant staff clashed again with the blood-colored muscular man wielding his bone knife.
In the sky, Guanyin couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Why do these boys always like to compete?
She picked up the Willow Branch in her right hand as a medium and then used Daluo Magical Power to set up a space barrier here. Let them fight, but causing too much destruction is not nice.
Neither of the fighting Sun Wukong nor Red Boy realized that they had unknowingly entered the space barrier set up by Guanyin.
They fought till the sky was dim and the earth dark, with one being born of blood river and natural Blood Sea Saint Son, and the other a naturally immortal saint, both full blast, neither willing to submit.
Nezha, who had cut out the Second Corpse from the starry sky, also felt something strange about Red Boy. He reached out to tear the space and arrived beside Guanyin, then saw two giants fighting.
"Wow, it's a lively fight," he said.
Guanyin rolled her eyes, "You didn't mention that the Ancestor of Nether River would intervene. Given the current situation, it's not easy for me to intervene either without risking angering the child."
Nezha no longer feared the Nether River, seeing him as a defeated opponent now. "He lost once, and won't win later. Now resorting to such tricks only shows he's really scared of me," Nezha thought.
In his eyes, the Nether River, who could be defeated in two moves, and himself were not evenly matched.
Nezha observed for a while and basically grasped Red Boy's situation. This kid wasn't foolish, his physical body and divine soul were hidden in a magical treasure, immune to the Nether River's power contamination.
Of course, the Nether River paid a part of his origin and wouldn't gain nothing; indeed, he would acquire some traits from Red Boy. But how to say this...
In Nezha's current view, the Nether River started on the wrong path. Sprinting down the wrong road, no matter how close you get to the finish line, you will never cross it because you never entered the race!
The performance of the Nether River was indeed powerful, and it could launch an attack surpassing his own peak level given his current cultivation, but that was it.
Separating his origin to lure Red Boy meant he wouldn't get it back.
The battle below was at an even split, Red Boy's mana was stronger but not his own power, so using it was quite clumsy. Sun Wukong's mana was at a disadvantage, but his combat skills and self-control were superior.
Now it still remained fifty-fifty, but in a while, Red Boy's clone wouldn't withstand the rampant power of the blood river and would collapse.
Nezha knew about Red Boy's strong self-esteem, so he didn't wait for him to completely lose face before intervening. He sent a voice transmission to Red Boy from afar, resolving this rebellious child in a few words.
Afterwards, he turned around and nodded to Guanyin.
Guanyin knew it was time for her to act. She first revealed her form, radiating ten thousand beams of auspicious light, and took out the Willow Branch to sprinkle on Red Boy's side. The blood river around Red Boy was purified by the mist and began to dissipate.
Red Boy's power began to rapidly weaken, and his giant dharma form started shrinking. On the other side, seeing Guanyin's intervention, Sun Wukong also stopped chasing fiercely and reduced his size.
Having fought with Red Boy for so long had tired him out too.
Red Boy first reverted to his Asura image, he played the part well and looked at Guanyin with defiance. "Are you the reinforcements called by the monkey?"
Guanyin: ....
"What, not willing to admit defeat?"
Red Boy looked defiant.
"If you have the guts, duel with me one on one!"
Guanyin took out a golden ring from her sleeve, the last one remaining after subduing the Golden Hoop Immortal, one of the Seven Attendant Immortals, and refining it into the golden, tight, binding ring.
With a wave, the golden ring divided into forty-nine parts and wrapped around Red Boy, and though Red Boy struggled hard, he could not escape the confines of the golden ring.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately cheered up and praised the Bodhisattva for her good work!
He raised his staff wanting to go teach Red Boy a lesson, but Guanyin quickly stopped him. "You monkey, you'd even hit the grandson of the Buddha, in Western Heaven they could easily give you a hard time with some formalities, would you be at ease with that?"
"Wait a moment, Wukong. Although Red Boy is a bit mischievous and insolent, he hasn't committed any misdeeds. I will take him as a Sudhana to teach by my side, and he can cultivate to the true fruit in the future."
Sun Wukong, after facing the ordeal with Red Boy, now truly respected the Bodhisattva Guanyin. In the Primordial world, it ultimately was about who had the bigger fist, and now Sun Wukong clearly felt the gap between himself and Guanyin.
Fighting was out of the question, but Sun Wukong still wanted to have a little verbal advantage.
"My good nephew, having the fortune to cultivate by the Bodhisattva's side, your father would surely thank me profusely when he sees me."
Red Boy couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"When that time comes and my father properly thanks you, I just hope you won't be unhappy."
Sun Wukong joked around with Red Boy before entering the cave to find his master. The little monsters in the cave had long since disappeared, and he quickly found Xuanzang, who was already accustomed to being tied up.
"Master, Master, did Red Boy trouble you these days?"
"Amitabha Buddha, the child is somewhat mischievous, but his heart is pure. Though he frequently teases me, I did not suffer. Wukong, you didn't take his life, did you?"
Sun Wukong was somewhat speechless seeing Xuanzang still speaking for Red Boy. He caught you intending to eat you, yet you still spoke on behalf of the demon.
"Tch, Red Boy has been taken away by Guanyin as a Sudhana. Master, you needn't worry."
Only then did Xuanzang relax and say, "Amitabha Buddha, with the Bodhisattva teaching him, I trust he will focus on goodness."
Sun Wukong saved Xuanzang and reunited with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing; the four master and disciples set off again. Though the road ahead was dangerous, they would not halt their steps.
Above the clouds, Nezha, Guanyin, and Red Boy were watching the master and disciples journey to the West. Nezha held a blood mass in his hand, feeling a bit emotional about how troubled this world's pilgrim team was.
Even Sun Wukong seemed to be struggling as he walked. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing had entirely become tools to carry loads and fan with farts.
He looked speechlessly at Red Boy and said, "Reveal your true body now."
Red Boy chuckled, opened his mouth to spit out a golden bead that flashed red and turned back into Red Boy, while the original Red Boy swiftly dissipated in tiny fragments.
He looked at the golden rings still hanging on his body and wanted to say something, but after glancing at Nezha, he refrained.
I'll bear with it for now!
Nezha patted Red Boy's small head and said to Guanyin, "Senior sister, this child was spoiled from childhood, he's yours to take care of now."
