One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 886 Doumu Yuanjun Battles the Great Sage and the Lesser Sage

However, the cost of this defeat was too high; the entire underworld was about to be surrendered. Zhang Daoling had no choice but to ask Doumu Yuanjun for help.

We need to ask them to take action, at least to hold off Erlang Shen or the Monkey King.

The collaboration between the Great Sage and the Lesser Sage is not a simple one plus one.

"I am old and frail, I'm afraid..." Doumu Yuanjun wanted to refuse, but suddenly she was speechless and her tone changed.

"Yes, but I can only help you hold off Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen."

Emperor Gouchen, who was standing nearby, noticed that his "old lady" was behaving out of character and realized that someone had changed her mind.

It's not hard to guess who this 'person' is.

Who else could change the mind of Doumu Yuanjun, who is second only to the Heavenly Emperor and above all others?

Of course, only someone above Doumu Yuanjun, above all others, could change her mind.

Although he didn't detect any trace of magic, Zhang Daoling understood that the Jade Emperor must have just sent a telepathic message to Doumu Yuanjun, asking her to assist him. Doumu Yuanjun only reluctantly agreed out of respect for the Jade Emperor.

However, even though Doumu Yuanjun agreed, Zhang Daoling still had some doubts in his heart.

Can they only hold off Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen?
Zhang Daoling reminded Doumu Yuanjun: "Your Majesty, do not underestimate Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen."

"Sun Wukong reshaped his Dao embryo, achieving innate perfection; Erlang Shen obtained the Lotus Lantern of the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua, and the power of these magical treasures should not be underestimated."

Doumu Yuanjun found Zhang Daoling's question inexplicable; he really thought of her as a muddle-headed old woman.

Doumu Yuanjun said matter-of-factly, "Of course I know these things, which is why I said I could only stop Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen."

“…” Zhang Daoling hesitated after hearing this.

The legend of Doumu Yuanjun had already spread throughout the world during the Qin Dynasty, while Zhang Daoling only established the Five Pecks of Rice Sect at the end of the Han Dynasty. He received the teachings from Laozi in a dream, swept away the six evil spirits in the Sichuan region, and attained immortality after completing his merits.

Furthermore, Doumu Yuanjun was born from the innate yin energy at the beginning of time, and was a divine being who had never been a human. Zhang Daoling knew even less about Doumu Yuanjun.

Could Doumu Yuanjun really fight the Monkey King and Erlang Shen to a draw?
Ge Hong coughed and cupped his hands, saying, "I beg Your Majesty to lend a hand."

Zhang Daoling suddenly realized what was happening and said with a wry smile, "It is because this humble immortal has been bewitched by the calamity. Please, Your Majesty, lend me your assistance."

Yes, yes, tell them who Doumu Yuanjun is capable of changing the course of the battle?
It's the Jade Emperor!
Even if Zhang Daoling didn't trust Doumu Yuanjun, he should have known that the Jade Emperor wouldn't misjudge people.

Since the Jade Emperor believed that Doumu Yuanjun could win, Doumu Yuanjun must have extraordinary abilities that made the Jade Emperor believe that she could defeat the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Erlang Shen.

His behavior just now wasn't questioning Doumu Yuanjun, but rather doubting the Jade Emperor's judgment.

If it weren't for Ge Hong's advice, Zhang Daoling would have committed a major taboo in officialdom.

Good heavens! This will affect my career!
Doumu Yuanjun didn't care what Zhang Daoling and the other juniors thought; she had only promised the Jade Emperor to help.

From the frozen lake, she peered through layers of snow and wind at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian beneath the Erlang Shen Temple.

His gaze was intense, his mind sharp.

Doumu Yuanjun's intentions did not carry any killing intent, but they were so strong that they were immediately detected by Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.

The mischievous monkey's head and fur bristled, making Erlang Shen's skin tingle.

The two exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Erlang Shen, in particular, found it even more unbelievable.

Besides the Eight Immortals, there was another unfamiliar Taiyi Golden Immortal in the Heavenly Court's ranks. And this Taiyi Golden Immortal showed his extraordinary abilities from the very first appearance.

"Doumu Yuanjun! When did Doumu Yuanjun arrive? Oh right, she was there during the last battle at Huaguo Mountain."

Pigsy exclaimed in surprise.

As the former Marshal Tianpeng and one of the Four Saints of the North Pole under the Ziwei Emperor, Zhu Bajie actually knew Doumu Yuanjun.

"And, last time? That time at Flower Fruit Mountain, did Doumu Yuanjun participate?"

Despite racking his brains, Sun Wukong couldn't find a single memory of Doumu Yuanjun. He quickly called out to Zhu Bajie:
"Fool, do you know that female immortal? Quickly tell me and Erlang the details, don't dawdle, she might be coming to kill us!"

Although Sun Wukong was confident that he would not lose, he never gave up on any possibility that would allow him to win easily.

In this respect, Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are completely opposite in their desire to save effort.

When faced with a problem, Erlang Shen would almost never set aside his dignity and would stubbornly fight to the bitter end; while Sun Wukong, the monkey, was more adept at using tools and calling on his friends to fight together.

On his journey to the West, Sun Wukong practically summoned half of the Heavenly Court to help him.

Sun Wukong was right; when Doumu Yuanjun was catching fish, she remained as still as a star.

But when it is unleashed, it changes color like the stars, staining the sky and shaking the earth.

Heaven has unleashed its murderous intent, shifting stars and changing constellations!

Boom boom boom!
In an instant, Doumu Yuanjun had already clashed with Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen.

They acted without a trace, but when the whisk and the vajra landed on the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the three-pointed double-edged spear respectively.

It was as if a comet had struck the earth, a roc had fought a dragon, and the greedy wolf had stolen the light of the broken army.

Even Sun Wukong's indestructible divine stone body and Yang Jian's immortal physical body capable of carrying mountains and chasing the sun were shaken so badly that their tiger's mouths went numb.

If it weren't for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, whose reactions were as swift as lightning and who could catch a fleeting bolt of lightning with their bare hands...

The two managed to block Doumu Yuanjun's attack in time; this show of force was probably enough to injure them both.

This single attack was enough to make Sun Wukong and Yang Jian dare not be careless.

When Doumu Yuanjun enters battle mode, she is completely different from the kind and gentle beautiful woman she just appeared to be.

She manifested her fighting form, Doumu Yuanjun, with three eyes and four heads, and four arms on each side. Her left hand held a whisk, and her right hand held a pestle. There were also images of the sun and moon on her shoulders, and her eight arms also held a bow and arrow, a golden spear, a golden bell, a shield, and a sword.

Doumu Yuanjun actually managed to entangle Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen in their first encounter, all by herself.

Demon Lord Chonglou was not surprised but delighted upon seeing this: "Hahaha, I knew I hadn't come to the wrong place. This place is truly teeming with powerful individuals!"

"Who else dares to challenge me?!"

Instead of vying for the attention of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Demon Lord Chonglou flapped his wings, unleashing a double torrent of flames capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, and charged straight into the Heavenly Court's grand formation.

In the most defiant way, challenge the Heavenly Court!
"What an arrogant little demon."

Cao Guojiu, the last of the Eight Immortals to ascend to heaven, snorted coldly, then stood up with his jade tablet in hand, speaking righteously and sternly.

It's one thing to be afraid of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, but why would you, an unknown demon, be worried about me?
Cao Guojiu rushed forward.
Cao Guojiu had his hair crown cut off, leaving him with disheveled hair.

Cao Guojiu was rescued by Lü Dongbin.
