Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

East Victorious Divine Continent, Flower-Fruit Mountain.

It had been more than half a month since the members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult retreated back within the barrier. During these days, the Heavenly Army incessantly launched attacks toward the Primordial Unity Grand Formation barrier.

Although the demon folk of Flower-Fruit Mountain took turns infusing the barrier with strength, Leng Xuan could still sense that the damage to the formation was accumulating bit by bit, and it was about to become insupportable.

"Everyone, it looks like the Great Formation Barrier won't hold for much longer. We can't keep waiting like this. Prepare to break out and engage in a decisive battle with those from the Heavenly Court!"

Leng Xuan furrowed his brows. The Primordial Unity Grand Formation had been besieged by the Heavenly Army for so many days, and even the most formidable formation could not endure. Its collapse was imminent, and they could no longer cower within the Great Formation Barrier. They had to charge out before the collapse of the formation.

Otherwise, once the barrier fell and the Heavenly Army flooded into Flower-Fruit Mountain, the weaker and vulnerable among the Demon Race who did not possess significant cultivation would meet with disaster.

The Heavenly Army had come this time to exterminate the Demon Race of Flower-Fruit Mountain, but they had been repeatedly frustrated in front of the mountain's gates. Despite suffering heavy casualties, they had not set foot within Flower-Fruit Mountain. The proud and valiant soldiers' hearts had long been filled with extensive resentment and fury.

Once they had the chance to step foot into Flower-Fruit Mountain, it would not matter what they encountered—whether it be the sick, the elderly, the resolute defenders, or those kneeling and begging for mercy—they would undoubtedly execute everyone without hesitation, leaving none behind!

This was something Leng Xuan understood clearly, as did the Bull Demon King and other high-ranking members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Likewise, every demon soldier and demon general within Flower-Fruit Mountain saw it as clearly as if in a mirror. None of those who cultivated from beasts into demons were fools; they would naturally understand such logic.

At that moment, a sense of sorrow permeated throughout the entirety of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Accompanying this sorrow was a sense of resolution, a resolute determination to fight with the attacking Heavenly Army to the bitter end, even if it meant mutual destruction. This was the spirit of desperate troops.

Desperate troops will prevail!

"Open the mountain gates, come out and face the enemy!"

"Open the mountain gates, come out and face the enemy!"

"Face the enemy, face the enemy!"

"We, the Demon Race, vow to never surrender!"

"Never surrender! Never surrender!"

Rousing cries that shook the heavens erupted throughout Flower-Fruit Mountain. A momentum akin to landslides and tsunamis surged from within Flower-Fruit Mountain, unable to be contained even by the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, piercing through the barrier and soaring up to the sky.

"Open the mountain gates!"

The mountain gates of the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain were flung wide open.

The Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, and the rest of the Six Great Demon Kings, along with Leng Xuan, the Six-Eared Macaque, the Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang, the Chaotic World Demon King Sun Tong, and other members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Race poured out in full force, leaving only the weak who were incapable of combat behind.

They arrayed themselves in a great formation outside the mountain gates to confront the distant Heavenly Army.

"So, you demons finally dare to show yourselves, done hiding like turtles?"

A Shouting Officer from the Heavenly Army flew out beyond the Yuan Gate, bellowing at the demons of Flower-Fruit Mountain, "The might of the heavens is boundless. If you cast aside your weapons and bind yourselves to surrender now, our Heavenly Army might spare you… Ahh!" Read exclusive chapters at empire

The Shouting Officer had not finished his sentence when a streak of black light flew toward him, piercing through his chest in an instant. He let out a wretched scream, and his corpse plummeted from the skies.

"What a noisy fellow! If you want to fight, then fight, quit your babbling, you're asking for death!"

The Yu Ruyi King snorted coldly, stretching out his hand to retrieve the black light back into his sleeve, which was his Magical Treasure, the Heart-Piercing Shuttle. He seldom used it in front of others; once unleashed, it flashed with black light, piercing hearts from a thousand miles away, an attack that those of insufficient strength couldn't block at all.

"Hiss~!"

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals all took a sharp intake of breath, the Demon Clan of Flower-Fruit Mountain truly had audacious gall, daring to preemptively strike even under such circumstances!

Many were shocked: the speed of that dark light was like lightning, so quick that they hadn't even reacted before the Shouting Officer was shot dead. If that dark light had been aimed at them, would they have been able to dodge it?

"The demons of Flower-Fruit Mountain disobey the divine command and defy heaven's might, their sins are unforgivable! Heavenly Army, heed my command!"

"Present!"

"Slay them all, leave none behind! Kill!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, seeing the situation, felt his heart sink. Fearing that further delay might shake the morale of the Heavenly Army, he roared out the order for a full-scale attack, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals thundered towards the Demon Army of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Form up, face the enemy!"

The Demon Soldiers and Generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain sprang into action too, led by their respective leaders they formed into various Five Elements Battle Formations and Heaven and Earth Trigrams Formations, then split into smaller Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formations, clashing fiercely with the Heavenly Army.

"Cloning Divine Powers!"

The Six-Eared Macaque immediately employed his Cloning Divine Powers at the start, his clone darted out from within him, turned into a bee, and perched on Bull Demon King's tail, whispering to him, "Big Brother Bull, rest assured and go deal with Erlang God Yang Jian. If that Howling Celestial Dog dares to sneak attack and bite your tail again, watch how I shatter one of his big teeth!"

"Roger that!"

The Bull Demon King snorted through his nose and let out a sly chuckle. Holding his iron staff, he took the initiative to face Erlang God Yang Jian and bellowed, "Listen, Erlang, that last fight wasn't satisfying enough; today your grandpa Bull wants to settle the score with you. If you've got the guts, come at me!"

Without waiting for Erlang God Yang Jian to respond, he turned around and flew back into the skies above the Eastern Sea.

"Hmph! Do you think this True Lord is afraid of you? This time I must capture you, old ox, and have you plow the fields in my backyard every day!"

Erlang God Yang Jian's sword-brows shot up, and he snorted coldly, chasing after the Bull Demon King through the clouds.

"You four, come and play with your grandpa Six-Eared again!"

As the Four Great Heavenly Kings flew above the clashing army, attempting to invoke the Green Edge Sword, the Jade Pipa, and the Primordial Chaos Pearl Umbrella to assist in the battle, they hadn't even begun invoking their treasures when a figure rushed up in front of them. With a cold laugh and a swing of the iron staff, he swept them into the thick of the battle, it was the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Demon Monkey, don't be so cocky, today we will definitely not hold back, and we'll tear you to pieces!"

"Rampant Demon Monkey, watch as my brothers and I take you down today!"

Upon seeing the Six-Eared Macaque, the expressions of the Four Great Heavenly Kings darkened, having suffered at his hands twice before, their hatred for him was as endless as the surging river. They all roared out in anger and unleashed their full prowess against the Six-Eared Macaque.

In these past few days, the Four Great Heavenly Kings had been practicing combined attack techniques, all to find and avenge their previous humiliation at the hands of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Though the Great Sight Heavenly King Mo Lishou had lost his Purple Gold Flower Mink, he had returned to Heavenly Court during this period and selected a Thunderhorned Flying Eagle from the Immortal Beasts Garden of Heavenly Court.

Although it was somewhat inferior to the Purple Gold Flower Mink, under the singular taming skills of Great Sight Heavenly King Mo Lishou, it had quickly reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. It could launch thunder and lightning from the horn on its forehead to paralyze the enemy, proving to be quite the aid in battle.

This time, they were determined to wash away their shame and reclaim the face they had lost to the Six-Eared Macaque!
