One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 854 Sun Wukong cleverly resolves the crisis.

Having seen through the truth, Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gouchen wanted to preserve their own strength and living forces, unwilling to waste their energy on useless things.

Sun Wukong let out a long roar, and his Ruyi Jingu Bang hummed as it followed:
"Stop hesitating and overthinking! Why don't you start fighting already!"

A handful of hairs were plucked and flew out, spreading with the high winds of the sky, growing farther and farther, until they transformed into 100,000 monkey soldier clones, which then attacked the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The Great Sage, with his overwhelming aura, showed no fear of the Heavenly Court. His Ruyi Jingu Bang, imbued with the terror of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, struck them down with immense force.

Nezha has three heads and six arms, stands on Samadhi Fire, wields nine weapons, and commands ten thousand swords as he charges forward.

Prince Zhang's eyes flashed with divine light, the formation changed, reflecting in his mind, his spear aimed at weaknesses, targeting vulnerabilities.

Three powerful generals led the way, and Pigsy stirred up the dark waters of the Arctic Heavenly River. By following the laws of heaven and earth, he transformed into an exposed stone monkey, holding a chime mallet and wielding the power to split mountains and stomp the earth.

Even with only five generals, entering the Zhou Tian Star Formation, they still managed to disrupt the formation's peace.

Amidst the starlight, the waves surged. Beyond the three walls, the sounds of battle shook the city.

Within the great formation, the remaining warriors of the Zhenwu lineage had bloodshot eyes, their hatred overflowing. They had come to avenge the Zhenwu Emperor!
The True Martial Emperor treated his subordinates extremely well, a fact even Hu Xiuwu knew, as he received the teachings from the True Martial Emperor as soon as he joined his ranks.

If it weren't simply a difference in beliefs, Hu Xiuwu would still admire the True Martial Emperor.

Even his enemies admired the character of Emperor Zhenwu, so his generals naturally revered him even more and were extremely loyal to him.

The True Martial Emperor died at the hands of Hu Xiuwu; how could the people of the True Martial lineage not seek revenge for him?

Especially when they saw that Zhu Bajie, the Grand Marshal Tianpeng, who was once one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, was also helping Hu Xiuwu, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl and other Zhenwu generals felt a sense of betrayal even more.

His anger intensified, and his murderous intent burned even brighter.

They even drew upon the power of the stars Ketu and Rahu, becoming the vanguard of the Heavenly Court.

They had the will to die and the strength to die.

Ketu Rahu is an inauspicious star, imbued with malevolent and harmful energy. Apart from Sun Wukong, everyone else experienced some degree of obstruction.

The God of Slaughter's Little Sword can only pierce through the suicidal soldiers, and Prince Zhang can only see through the flaws in the physical techniques of the True Martial lineage.

As long as the Zhenwu lineage's desire for revenge remains, they can continue their attacks under the influence of the ominous stars Ketu and Rahu.

With the Zhenwu lineage providing support, the other star officials and immortals were much more relaxed and tacitly activated the Zhou Tian Star Array to transfer more star power to the Zhenwu lineage.

The stars Po Jun, Tan Lang, and Qi Sha are in conjunction in the three cardinal directions and four cardinal points of the Life Palace.

This forms the "Killing, Breaking, and Wolf" pattern, imbuing the Zhenwu lineage with a fierce destiny marked by isolation, punishment, and military disasters.

Sun Wukong laughed heartily: "Kill, Break, Wolf! Forming the Kill, Break, Wolf formation is just as good as Po Jun, Tan Lang, and Qi Sha Xing Jun personally taking to the field. How can you say you dare not!"

Challenged by Sun Wukong in front of most of his colleagues in Heaven, Po Jun Xing Guan, who was most easily provoked and lost his composure, picked up his serrated cleaver, howled fiercely to bolster his courage, and met Sun Wukong's attack.

With the vanguard in place, and facing the same piercing gazes as will-o'-the-wisps, the newly appointed Seven Killings Star Official and Greedy Wolf Star Official had no choice but to bite the bullet and cooperate with the Broken Army Star Official to form the [Kill, Broken, Wolf] formation, thus gaining the blessing of the [Zhou Tian Star Array].

Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang stirred up the starry sea, pierced through the clouds and broke through the moon, and with a single blow, weighed ten thousand jin, he forcefully shook the entire Zhenwu lineage.

Then the three stars of the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf Stars took the initiative to attack. Sun Wukong laughed loudly: "That's more like it! Why do you star officials and immortals always hide in the formation? You are not as good as the little demons in the mortal world who can easily fly through the wind."

Sun Wukong was submerged in the overwhelming killing intent gathered by the Killing Wolf, and shrouded in the thick darkness of the night.

The Heavenly Man, Pigsy, and Nezha all saw what was happening, but they were powerless to offer any help.

Despite the fact that the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array] once failed against Hu Xiuwu, it is still the strongest array in the Three Realms.

The failure against Hu Xiuwu wasn't due to the formation's weakness, but rather Hu Xiuwu's overwhelming strength. Is failing to capture the fourth Great Luo Golden Immortal something to be ashamed of?

The [Zhou Tian Star Array] once trapped a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Isn't that something to be proud of?
"All generals, listen to my command! Cease your attack now!"

The majestic imperial voice resounded throughout the nine heavens.

"The Emperor! It's the Emperor."

The Zhenwu lineage suddenly erupted in commotion and temporarily put down their weapons.

Because suddenly, a figure of an emperor appeared in the heavens, barefoot and disheveled, suppressing the black water, solemn and dignified, cold and ruthless.

It is the True Martial Emperor.

From among Zhenwu's generals flew a dragon, roaring with joy, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are not..."

The True Martial Emperor spoke with a majestic and powerful tone: "If Hu Xiuwu can revive Sun Wukong, then His Majesty the Jade Emperor can certainly revive me as well."

"The Zhenwu lineage obeys orders: self-preservation is paramount; do not act rashly."

The Zhenwu lineage hesitated, their momentum temporarily waning. Although they were somewhat puzzled as to why the Zhenwu Emperor would issue such an order, out of loyalty, they did not directly contradict the Zhenwu Emperor in person.

The Zhenwu lineage ceased operations, and the blessings from the stars Ketu and Rahu gradually dissipated as the fighting spirit and anger dissipated.

Seizing the opportunity, Prince Zhang immediately brandished his white spear and whip. The spear and whip moved like a poisonous dragon unsheathed, not attacking any of the star officials, but the magic power carried by the spear severed the star power of Ketu and Rahu in the darkness.

With a single spear thrust, the Milky Way was severed, dispersing the power of the Ketu Rahu star within the Zhenwu lineage.

Without the star power from Ketu Rahu, some of the generals of the Zhenwu lineage fell and turned to ashes.

Having been afflicted by Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, they were already dead, yet they could still move freely, entirely thanks to Jidu Rahu's efforts to keep them afloat.

Now that the spirit has dissipated, it's like a zombie exhaling its last breath, truly becoming an immobile skeleton.

Upon seeing that most of the generals of the Zhenwu lineage had perished in the underworld, the 'Zhenwu Emperor' suddenly smiled slyly, scratching his neck with his hands, looking just like three monkeys.

monkey!?
The 'True Martial Emperor' transformed back to his true form; he was actually Sun Wukong in disguise.

Sun Wukong is not only skilled in martial arts, but also in combat wisdom.

Although he has strong bones, his wrists are flexible.

When fighting, his wild nature, inherited from his mountain monkey origins, makes him stop at nothing to defeat his opponent, regardless of the method.

During the Journey to the West, he tricked Little Drill Wind into revealing the secret of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and even volunteered to transform into a mosquito and crawl into his sister-in-law's stomach.

When Sun Wukong fights, his fighting style is no different from that of a wild monkey—he uses a shameless, slovenly style of throwing excrement.

He always uses the least effort and simplest method to win, regardless of whether that method is shameful.

Therefore, whenever he encountered a problem during his journey to the West, he would seek help from others.

In this respect, Sun Wukong and Zhang Chulan are remarkably similar.

They are people who have their own principles deep down, but use soft methods.

It was because Sun Wukong was there that Hu Xiuwu was able to focus on the battlefield and concentrate on dealing with the Jade Emperor.

This was also the first time Hu Xiuwu had officially fought against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
