One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 853 The Battle of Flower and Fruit
"The Jade Emperor... the Jade Emperor himself has arrived!"

Upon hearing what Prince Zhang said, Pigsy froze, dumbfounded, with cold sweat streaming uncontrollably down his forehead.

Seeing Zhu Bajie's pathetic side, Zhu Liuliu mocked him, tracing his face with his fingers and making faces at him.

"Hehe, Uncle Pigsy is such a coward, he's already scared into a stupor before the fight even starts."

"You're not even as good as me and my sister!"

Pigsy wasn't angry when his own daughter mocked him, but he still stubbornly insisted on explaining, "This is normal for me. You little brat, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and you don't understand the terror of the Jade Emperor."

Sister Zhu snorted and raised her Spider Silk Sword: "Hmph! It'll just be reduced to ashes anyway."

Pigsy shook his head: "You're still too young. You think being reduced to ashes is the cruelest punishment?"

"In the Heavenly Rules and Regulations, there are many punishments far more severe than being reduced to ashes."

"You will be cast into hell for a thousand years, suffering the torment of being skinned alive and the pain of having your soul devoured. Your relatives and friends, your colleagues and masters, people you know, and even strangers you've only met once and who have only spoken a word to you, will all be implicated by you, punished along with you, and wailing beside you."

Pigsy leaned closer to Zhu Liuliu: "What's worse, they'll curse you while they're around you, cursing you for dragging them down with you."

Can you imagine this scenario?

Zhu Liuliu was terrified by Zhu Bajie's tone, and when she thought of her sisters, including Yongning Ji, and the little demons she knew, they were all looking at her with hatred.

Zhu Liuliu was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Even Sister Zhu got goosebumps.

Pigsy sighed, "Your mother is really something, how could she push you into such a dangerous situation?"

Sister Zhu hugged Zhu Liuliu and gently comforted her, while glaring at Zhu Bajie: "You've only just met Liuliu, and you're already treating her like this?!"

"Furthermore, you have no right to speak ill of my mother!"

Sister Zhu was implying in her words that Zhu Bajie was an unfit father.

Pigsy sighed, "I just hope she understands the consequences and doesn't get involved in this mess."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "You fool, you've already been in the water, and they've long been tainted by karma. You still expect the Heavenly Court to show them leniency?"

As a former fairy of Yaochi, Zi Zhu'er was well aware of the consequences of going against the Heavenly Court.

But if they stayed in the Spider Cave, they would only become someone else's prey. It would be better to follow Hu Xiuwu and take a gamble.

Pigsy said sadly, "Brother Monkey, I suddenly understand what the Bull Demon King was thinking. If I had known about Liu Liu earlier, I might not have dared to come and save you."

Sun Wukong also stopped smiling and said calmly, "I didn't ask you to come and save me. The most important thing is that you all live well."

Zhu Liuliu suddenly broke free from her sister's embrace and shouted at Zhu Bajie, "I am Zizhu'er's daughter, the sixth young lady of the Spider Cave. I am not afraid of danger, and I want to fight alongside my sisters!"

Sun Wukong praised, "You have guts, much better than this fool. But I don't need you this time, you two little girls can rest in my cave."

"Your mission is accomplished."

Sister Zhu did not insist. She embraced Zhu Liuliu and stayed in the Water Curtain Cave.

Not only the sisters, but Zhang Qiling also stayed in the Water Curtain Cave.

As Sun Wukong said, their mission was over, and the remaining battles were beyond their control; their presence on the battlefield would only be a hindrance.

Sun Wukong raised his iron cudgel: "Let's go, let's hold off the heavenly soldiers and generals and lend me a hand."

Above Huaguo Mountain, leaden clouds stretched for thousands of miles, threatening to crush the city, while divine light blazed fiercely, piercing the sky.

The Thunder God beats the drum, shattering evil spirits; the Fire God waves the flag, illuminating the way forward; the War God sharpens his sword, raising his spirits and increasing his momentum; the Plague God brings disaster, rotting bones and corroding souls.

The Great Emperor Gouchen arrived in person, followed by the Emperor Ziwei, with the Four Celestial Masters assisting the Emperor, and five hundred spirit officials serving as envoys, arranging the troops and forming the array. The Twenty-Eight Star Officials followed in the array, with heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the constellations, naturally forming the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array].

However, most of the twenty-eight star officials had been replaced, and several new faces appeared among the five hundred spirit officials. The war between Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court was not a gentle test; it was a heated negotiation.

War is bloody. Even though the Heavenly Court had two Great Luo Golden Immortals and had the upper hand, there were still casualties.

This time, all five emperors came to attack Huaguo Mountain. The Heavenly Court mobilized its entire army!

However, this also exposed a problem.

The Heavenly Court must have made peace with Mount Ling!
Otherwise, the Heavenly Court could not have mobilized so many heavenly soldiers and generals, and had the Five Emperors of the Five Directions come to oversee the situation.

The Heavenly Court's grand-scale operation clearly indicates that this is not a minor matter; they intend to quell the chaos at Flower Fruit Mountain in one fell swoop.

Pigsy and the Man of Destiny were the first to leave Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Heavenly Army remained as steady as Mount Tai.

They could easily take down Zhu Bajie and the chosen one with a flick of their wrist.

Prince Zhang and Nezha, each carrying a weapon, followed behind the Mandate of Heaven and Pigsy out of the Water Curtain Cave.

There was some noise in Heaven, but more so because of the surprise that Prince Zhang and Nezha had actually sided with Hu Xiuwu.

But the Heavenly Court remained steadfast in its belief that Nezha and Prince Zhang were complicit in the treachery and courting their own destruction.

Instead of staying with the most powerful force in the Three Realms, he actually went to follow a rebel who was on the run. How stupid is that?

Moreover, although the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is dead and the Linglong Pagoda has been destroyed, with the Four Heavenly Masters present, Prince Zhang and Nezha are still not a problem.

"Haha, they're all old acquaintances!"

In an instant, the somersault cloud soared three thousand feet into the air, sending the Great Sage to the same height as the heavens.

"Sun Wukong! He's really back to life!"

"Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong! That monkey is back again!"

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

The moment Sun Wukong appeared, he caused a stir among the Heavenly Army.

The heavenly soldiers and generals were terrified, the star officials and immortals were panicked, and even the Five Emperors were somewhat surprised.

The Four Celestial Masters stabilized the morale of the army. Zhang Daoling loudly rebuked Sun Wukong:
“Sun Wukong, you wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, causing a great disaster. You also rebelled against Mount Ling and declared yourself king. You were punished twice and died, yet you still do not repent and dare to rebel against the Heavenly Court.”

"This time, the Emperor himself is taking action! He will ensure that you are annihilated and never to be reincarnated!"

Zhang Daoling pointed out that Sun Wukong had twice caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but both times he failed, which boosted morale and dispelled the fear of the heavenly soldiers and generals towards Sun Wukong.

Last time, Erlang Shen alone was able to kill Sun Wukong. This time, with the Ziwei Emperor, Gouchen Emperor, and the Four Heavenly Masters, they will surely be able to kill Sun Wukong once again.

However, the Purple Star Emperor, who was regarded as the pillar of the sea and the white jade pillar supporting the sky, was still hesitant at this moment: Sun Wukong really could be resurrected without the physical body of the chosen one. Hu Xiuwu had such means, it seems that he had really achieved the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This battle must not be allowed to escalate further!
Emperor Gouchen and Emperor Ziwei exchanged a glance, tacitly setting the tone for the battle.

The higher you stand, the more you see.

The Five Emperors are only slightly inferior to the Jade Emperor, so they understand the abilities of a Great Luo Golden Immortal better than any other deity.

Despite the formidable military might of the Heavenly Court, the true determinant of the war's outcome was not them or Sun Wukong.

Instead, they are the Great Immortals who are now battling in an unpredictable and unknowable realm.

The wins and losses between Sun Wukong and his companions were merely icing on the cake.

The outcome of the battle between Hu Xiuwu and the Jade Emperor will be the final deciding factor.
