Chapter 135: True Tianpeng, Tiangang Technique
As they were lamenting, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Ganglie and said again, "But what of that?"
With that, Sun Wukong's aura unleashed fully, and his ferocious power surged to the heavens, tearing through the clouds, a colossal monkey phantom standing tall and mighty!
With pride, Sun Wukong declared, "I, the great Sun, born of the earth, completely alone, yet 'surrender' does not exist in my vocabulary! Even when facing the Heavens and the sacred mountains, I, the great Sun, have only one word—fight!
No matter if the skies collapse or the earth sinks, I, the great Sun, will not submit!"
A single cry of defiance, shaking the heavens and earth, echoed through the clouds!
Zhu Ganglie was stunned by Sun Wukong's aura, mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
Just then, a chicken leg fell out of Zhu Ganglie's mouth.
Zhu Ganglie, taken aback, looked up to see a bald man dressed in a kasaya, standing slowly against the backlight, his face softer than it has ever been.
The sunlight shone on his bald head, creating a halo around him, as if he were a deity, a Buddha himself.
Then the bald man said, "Once you're full, overturn him!"
After speaking, the bald man turned and walked away.
Looking at Tang Sanzang's retreating figure, tears streamed down Zhu Ganglie's face uncontrollably. Everyone had looked down on him, everyone had told him to concede, but Tang Sanzang had encouraged him to overthrow the Demon King. He believed in him, trusted him!
This was an unprecedented level of respect and trust!
Zhu Ganglie said nothing, clamped his mouth shut, and gobbled down the chicken leg, bones and all.
Then he slowly turned his head to look at the Demon King.
The Demon King, recovering from his astonishment, looked down at Zhu Ganglie with a sneer, "You're giving up, you dead pig?"
Zhu Ganglie remained silent, instead looking over at Sun Wukong, and then with a grin, said, "Brother Monkey, I, old pig, also refuse to submit..."
Having said that, Zhu Ganglie suddenly turned back, fixing his gaze on the Demon King and declared, "You old mudfish, don't call me a dead pig, remember this—I am the Marshal Canopy... Zhu Wufan!"
In his roar, a brilliant divine light burst forth from inside Zhu Ganglie, and his divine glow swelled rapidly as his strength soared!
At the same time, thick Divine Chains began to appear across Zhu Ganglie's limbs, his core, and over his Divine Sea! Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing this, the several Demon Kings, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, the White Dragon Horse, and others were all shocked.
No one had expected that this seemingly foolish and not so strong pig who had a petty mind carried so many seals on him!
Only Tang Sanzang sat leisurely, not at all surprised, evidently having seen it earlier.
Upon seeing this, the Demon King laughed, saying with great anticipation, "This is getting interesting..."
As Zhu Ganglie roared, the divine light continued to gather until finally, with a loud boom, the Divine Chains on his right arm shattered!
Zhu Ganglie swiftly turned around, throwing a punch towards the Demon King.
The Demon King crossed his arms to block.
Boom!
A terrifying force swept over, and the Jiao Demon King cried out in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
The force was too great. Although the Jiao Demon King had prepared for it, he was still punched and sent flying, crashing into a mountain thousands of miles away…
Zhu Ganglie slowly stood up, beckoned with his hand, and the nine-toothed rake flew into his grasp.
That nine-toothed rake seemed to sense its master's transformation too, emitting rainbow neon glows. At this moment, this divine gift, playfully referred to by the gods as a collection of the power of the Heavenly Court, unexpectedly exuded a wisp of the killing intent that only weapons possess!
Zhu Ganglie slowly raised his head and said to the distant Jiao Demon King, "Jiao Demon King, the battle has begun!"
There was a sound of surging waves in the distance as the Jiao Demon King rode the waves back into the fray, looking at the war-intent Zhu Ganglie, who seemed like a completely different person, he laughed, "I didn't expect you to have so many seals on you... But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could you lift the Heavenly Court's divine gift of the nine-toothed rake without real strength?
"Come on, let's see how much weight you, the one called the weakest Heavenly Marshal, really carry!"
In the midst of speaking, the Jiao Demon King roared and charged towards Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Ganglie watched the Jiao Demon King with a tilted head and said, "As you wish..."
Finishing his words, he swung the nine-toothed rake towards the Jiao Demon King, but this time, his rake tore through the void itself, opening the gates of the nine heavens' Milky Way, and the torrential waters of the Milky Way poured out with a thunderous roar, shattering the seawater summoned by the Jiao Demon King.
For a moment, the sky was filled with ocean on one side and the Milky Way on the other.
The Jiao Demon King maneuvered the waters, summoning a towering wave to attack Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Ganglie, however, stood on the Milky Way battleship, clad in golden armor, wielding the nine-toothed rake, fighting the Jiao Demon King like a war god incarnate.
In this moment, Zhu Ganglie had lost his previous timidity; all that remained was an indomitable fierceness. His rake no longer simply moved up and down, but he executed hooks, locks, captures, sweeps, vertical chops, and other unpredictable techniques, not falling short of the Jiao Demon King's eighteen kinds of weapons.
The two combatants unleashed their techniques, locked in an inextricable struggle…
The Jiao Demon King bellowed in anger, eventually transforming into his original Jiao Dragon form, turning around to smash Zhu Ganglie's Milky Way battleship with a flick of his tail.
Zhu Ganglie directly invoked the Law of Heaven and Earth, turning into a towering giant, and once again fought against the Jiao Dragon.
The Jiao Demon King was strong, and Zhu Ganglie was no weaker. They went back and forth, each unable to gain an upper hand over the other.
"Jiao Demon King, is that all the tricks you have? Then I, old Zhu, shall end the battle," Zhu Ganglie said. As he spoke, he formed a seal with one hand, bringing his index finger and thumb together in a circle before his mouth, then took a strong inhale. His mouth, like a whale taking in water, wooshed and astonishingly swallowed all the seawater in the half-sky in one breath!
Without the support of the seawater, the Jiao Demon King's fighting strength sharply decreased.
Zhu Ganglie, unaffected, wildly swung his rake at the Jiao Demon King, pummeling him into constant retreat, to the point that the Jiao Demon King could hardly hold onto his water-dividing pitchfork.
"It's over, Celestial Technique: Summon Wind, Summon Rain!"
With a flourish of his rake in midair, one of its teeth lit up with a pale yellow halo. The next moment, a fierce wind arose, darkening the sky in an instant, and within it, a wind dragon could be faintly seen, colliding heavily with the Jiao Demon King.
The Jiao Demon King was knocked flying…
Then another tooth on Zhu Ganglie's rake emitted a faint blue light, and with a smash downward from Zhu Ganglie!
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky instantly, and a torrential rain poured down as a water dragon burst forth!
The Water Dragon and Wind Dragon entwined, creating a scene of dual dragons twisting, in an instant ensnaring the Jiao Demon King between them, as blood and scales scattered across the sky…
Amidst shrieks of pain, the Jiao Dragon King fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
Zhu Ganglie, showing no sign of stopping, wielded his rake and the two dragons converged as if commanded by his arm, merging into one giant wind and water dragon that charged towards the Jiao Demon King below!
