Even the disciples of saints are only at the Golden Immortal level. How incredibly difficult it must be for ordinary people to reach the Golden Immortal level!
After all, this world is no longer the primordial world.
"My benefactor saved Nine-Headed Insect's life. Nine-Headed Insect has no way to repay you. I am willing to follow your lead and be your blade to cut down the Demon Master's Palace..." Nine-Headed Insect was extremely decisive. He had already let go of the past. The Azure Pool was completely destroyed, and his father-in-law and beloved wife were all dead. His hatred for the Demon Master's Palace was irreconcilable. And Jiang Liu naturally shared the same hatred for the Demon Master's Palace.
Or rather, the Demon King Peng of the Demon Master's Palace and Jiang Liu have an irreconcilable feud.
He wanted revenge, and submitting to Jiang Liu was the most suitable option. Moreover, he was able to defeat the Peng Demon King, who was at the Xuanxian realm, while only at the Celestial Immortal realm, and seize the remains of the Nine Cauldrons. He could also break through from the Celestial Immortal realm to the peak of the Xuanxian realm in a single day.
Who else but someone with great fortune could be so!
Jiang Liu, in this "Journey to the West" world, naturally needs a subordinate with considerable strength. Although the demon ape Ba, the monk Jingren, and the Zen Yinsha obtained great opportunities in the origin of the "Yang Shen" world and their strength has increased by leaps and bounds, making them comparable to the Nine-Headed Insect, they are not from this world after all, so there are some concerns.
Therefore, they naturally and happily accepted the nine-headed insect.
Everyone was happy.
Jiang Liu could tell that the Nine-Headed Insect was deeply in love with Princess Wansheng of the Azure Pool. As for the Witch Clan, they were no match for him, so he didn't need to worry about hurting himself with this knife.
Moreover, Jiang Liu was also very interested in the physical cultivation methods of the Wu Clan. To break through, combining the physical body of an ancient god-king with the physical cultivation methods of the Wu Clan was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"It's time to go. I'm extremely worried that you might be ambushed by the demon master Kunpeng. I have a bad feeling about this. Let's go to the Thirty-Three Heavens."
The Third Holy Mother, Yang Chan, said.
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
The three of them rode the clouds and headed towards the Western Heavenly Gate. Of the four Heavenly Gates in the east, west, south, and north, the Southern Heavenly Gate was well-known because it was located in the Nine Provinces, while the other three Heavenly Gates were somewhat neglected.
The Western Heavenly Gate is located in the Western Niuhe Continent region.
Before even reaching the Western Heavenly Gate, one could see celestial soldiers standing tall among the clouds, creating a somber and murderous atmosphere.
"What happened in the Three Realms?" The Third Holy Mother immediately noticed the anomaly. She had only seen such an anomaly once before, more than five hundred years ago, when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
"The Demon Master's Palace is launching a counterattack against the Heavenly Court? Impossible! The Demon Master's Palace doesn't have that kind of strength... The Blood Sea? Impossible too! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is suppressing the Blood Sea, and the Asura army can't even take a step into it!"
Although Jiang Liu was referring to the major powers within the Three Realms of "Journey to the West," he was secretly wondering if someone from beyond the universe had descended upon them.
Because before that, a transmigrator from the "American comic book" world had arrived, and if he hadn't encountered me, he would have surely caused a huge upheaval.
Before Jiang Liu could figure out what was going on, he saw Yang Chan fly away quickly.
Before the army at the front stood a general, with outstanding bearing, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, exuding a surging aura of battle spirit, and even the third eye between his eyebrows seemed to be about to open.
On the back of his hands, which had large joints and fair skin, prominent blue veins bulged out.
Yang Jian, the True Lord Erlang of the Pure Source Mysterious Path, the God of War of the Three Realms, stood in front.
Jiang Liu and the Nine-Headed Insect immediately followed, and then they heard Yang Jian say, "...Sister, you're not in Mount Hua in the Nine Provinces, how did you end up in the territory of Xiniu Hezhou?"
The Third Holy Mother stammered and brushed it off, asking, "What's going on? When did the Western Heavenly Gate become so heavily guarded? Judging from your appearance, it seems you're about to lead troops down to the mortal realm. What exactly happened down there?"
Erlang Shen looked past the Third Holy Mother at Jiang Liu and the Nine-Headed Insect. The Nine-Headed Insect was fine, but Erlang Shen froze for three seconds when looking at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu clasped his hands in a fist salute, as if to greet his potential future brother-in-law.
"Jiang Liu, the abbot of Qianlong Temple on Zhongnan Mountain, greets Erlang Shenzhenjun!"
Erlang Shen gripped his three-pointed, double-edged sword, narrowed his third eye on his forehead, shifted his gaze to the Third Holy Mother, and asked her something with his eyes.
The Third Holy Mother blushed and hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Liu didn't know what the two of them had communicated, but it seemed that Erlang Shen was very angry.
Extremely angry.
Jiang Liu stood at a distance, and Erlang Shen's gaze looked at him like a sharp knife, piercing into the depths of his soul.
The fact that Erlang Shen, with his peak Xuanxian strength, could sense a deep threat shows that his strength has definitely reached the Golden Immortal level.
Finally, Erlang Shen withdrew his gaze.
Then, Erlang Shen gave a few instructions to the Third Holy Mother, and Jiang Liu heard one sentence spoken directly by Erlang Shen.
"Tang Sanzang has been eaten!"
Chapter 493 The Great Calamity Has Arrived
"Tang Sanzang was eaten?"
Jiang Liu was taken aback. Erlang Shen's tone was not casual; it was extremely solemn.
Judging from his tone, I knew he wasn't joking.
Tang Sanzang was indeed eaten.
Through the words of the Third Holy Mother, Jiang Liu made some inquiries, which shocked him greatly.
It turns out that just one day before the timeline of the "Journey to the West" world, the four members of the pilgrimage group arrived at the territory of the White Bone Demon.
However, the story of the three White Bone Demons did not unfold. Instead, without the Heavenly Dao's awareness, they were attacked by a group of mysterious people. Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie were seriously injured, and Sun Wukong was unable to win the battle.
Even the Heavenly Court's Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations, who were constantly guarding the area, were either dead or injured. Although Guanyin and other Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats fought a great battle with that group of mysterious people, they did not gain any advantage.
According to the information obtained, one of them was defeated by Sun Wukong, but when that person captured Tang Sanzang, he used a strange ability to devour Tang Sanzang right in front of Sun Wukong. In the blink of an eye, he recovered, summoned a black hole, and disappeared.
Even more remarkably, the Third Holy Mother obtained a battle video. A gigantic robot, about to be captured after being besieged, transformed into a planet. In this form, energy conduits were distributed throughout its spherical shape, and large and small fully mechanical buildings, which could transform into weapon systems, were scattered across its surface.
The video ends abruptly as the planet-like robot unleashes endless beams of particles, a massive explosion resembling a star...
Jiang Liu looked at the information collected by the Third Holy Mother without showing any emotion, but his heart was in turmoil.
"These must be extraterrestrials. Those robots are simply not something that should exist in the Journey to the West world!"
Yang Chan had not received any more detailed information, and it was still unknown whether any extraterrestrials had been captured. However, the person who came was no ordinary individual, capable of going toe-to-toe with Sun Wukong and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The Thirty-Three Heavens and the Four Heavenly Gates are now on high alert.
The power of those extraterrestrial beings is something that mortal forces simply cannot contend with. Even the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling must be careful in dealing with them.
Chaos reigns in the Three Realms.
A great calamity has arrived.
As for the "one that has escaped" that the saints sensed earlier, and their plan to do their utmost to find Jiang Liu, there is no longer any possibility of that happening.
The arrival of extraterrestrials will bring great calamity to all, whether they are disciples of the Heavenly Court's Jie Sect, demons, blood sea asuras, or Buddhist sects of Mount Ling.
Jiang Liu went to the "Yang Shen" world and the "Zhetian" world to plunder treasures and acquire cultivation resources. Now, visitors from other worlds have also entered the "Journey to the West" world, with the same purpose and similar motives.
Without asking any further questions, Jiang Liu followed the Third Holy Mother.
When the sky falls, those who are tall will hold it up.
Jiang Liu has not yet reached the Golden Immortal realm. He will wait until he comprehends the "Yang God" Dao of the Immortal Monument and understands the shattering of the void before making any further progress!
By taking a detour through the Thirty-Three Heavens, Jiang Liu and the Nine-Headed Insect entered the Nine Provinces through the South Heavenly Gate and went straight to Chang'an City.
Standing in the land of Kyushu, in Chang'an, the political center of this land, Jiang Liu felt that the earth's veins were connected to him, and that everything on this land was under his control.
Of course, the state that incorporates the remains of the Nine Cauldrons is clearer.
Jiang Liu has already mastered most of the power of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, a treasure of merit.
After a brief sensing, several anomalies were immediately detected, with extremely peculiar energy present in several places.
It was like discovering that there were a few extra mice in his rice jar, but before Jiang Liu could do anything, he found that the heavenly soldiers and generals of the South Heavenly Gate had already set off for those unusual places.
This is the benefit of Hongjun merging with the Dao and establishing the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court operates on behalf of Heaven, and any abnormalities can be investigated and eliminated by the Heavenly Gods.
Jiang Liu suddenly realized that he had also obtained a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao, but it seemed to only apply to the land of Kyushu.
After a brief assessment, one of the locations was found on Mount Beiman, not far from Chang'an City.
Jiang Liu watched from afar, wondering who that strange person was and from which world they came.
Jiang Liu didn't have much interaction with the Heavenly Court, but he recognized almost everyone there thanks to his memories from his previous life. This time, the one leading the army was Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the vanguard was naturally Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.
With these two great gods leading the troops, it's clear that the Heavenly Court has escalated this crisis to an extremely high level.
Jiang Liu also discovered that the Journey to the West world had truly been completely exposed among all the heavens and myriad realms.
Even in this land of Kyushu, there are nearly three anomalies. How many spacetime channels must have appeared in the entire Journey to the West world, and how many extraterrestrial beings must have descended?
Fortunately, none of these descending beings had a "disappeared one" like Jiang Liu to protect them, and they could not shield themselves from the perception of the Heavenly Dao.
If one's strength is insufficient, then no matter how many come, they will be killed, and there is even a possibility of a counterattack. After all, the world of Journey to the West is not a pushover.
Even though the saints are no longer here, there are still several quasi-saints among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, and many more Golden Immortals.
The arrival of these extraterrestrials might actually backfire, turning their attempt into a failed scheme and causing them to run into a brick wall.
The heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded Mount Beimang in a dark mass, but Jiang Liu suddenly discovered that the extraterrestrial being did not flee at all. Instead, he stood on the summit of Mount Beimang, with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows and eyes were rugged, and his beard stood upright, towering into the sky and the earth.
Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes; the face of that extraterrestrial being was strangely familiar.
"It's him! It's actually him! How did he end up in the Journey to the West world?"
Jiang Liu was dumbfounded, never expecting to encounter an acquaintance whose strength had also reached such a level.
Before Jiang Liu could make a move, a streak of flame shot from the sky. The figure in the flame was a handsome young man with his hair in two buns, wearing chainmail, a lotus skirt, holding a tasseled spear, a gold ring around his neck, and bare feet on a pair of flaming wheels.
That's Nezha!
In an instant, the Universe Ring was thrown towards the unusually tall extraterrestrial.
Golden light emanated from the Universe Ring, spinning rapidly and shattering the void wherever it passed.
when!
Faced with Nezha's silent and direct attack, the man dared not be careless. He released his aura in an instant, which was so powerful that it shook the heavens and earth. The weaker heavenly soldiers almost felt like vomiting.
To attain enlightenment through martial arts.
He is yet another powerful individual who purely cultivates martial arts.
Nezha's Universe Ring was actually shattered by this extraterrestrial being with a single punch!
So powerful!
Pure physical strength, with each strike, is like a mountain pressing down, a tsunami, a falling star, a sun falling, a sky exploding, or the earth collapsing... Various forces, countless pulls, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes sideways, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes compressing, sometimes expanding...
In an instant, countless changes occurred within the fist's wind, even the fist's intent became highly concentrated, vast and boundless, its myriad forms turning everything to dust.
