Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 55: Drink the Blood of Gods and Demons
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Huaguo Mountain.

Mo Lang used the four demon generals, seventy-two demon kings, and more than a hundred thousand demon soldiers to train day and night, set up a demon battle formation, and laid a net of heaven and earth. For a time, the momentum was so huge that it attracted more monsters to come and join him.

At one time, Huaguo Mountain had 150,000 demon soldiers.

Sun Wukong called himself "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King" and wanted to be equal to heaven.

Mo Lang calls himself "The Great Sage Demon King of the Sea" and wants to subvert the world.

This time, Sun Wukong learned the art of killing from Patriarch Subhuti, and he was no longer alone, but had the help of the Demon King Jiao.

Under the training of the Dragon Demon King, the 150,000 demon soldiers were no longer a scattered mob, but burst out with amazing fighting power.

A monkey and a dragon made a huge fuss in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, vying to fight with the heavenly soldiers and generals. One wanted to show off his ability, and the other wanted revenge.

It is:

"Open the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and swing the Soul-Snatching Spear."

"A monkey and a dragon join forces, with a hundred thousand flags, to fight against the immortals and Buddhas!"

……

Xiao Chen, who was paying close attention to the movements in Huaguo Mountain, couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps, since he came to this world, this place is no longer exactly the world of Journey to the West described by Wu Cheng'en.

……

One year on earth is one day in heaven.

The second day after Sun Wukong's rebellion.

In the Lingxiao Palace in heaven, the Jade Emperor ascended the throne and held court.

Today is the court meeting, and the immortal officials and generals have already lined up on both sides of the hall.

Zhang Tianshi led the chief and deputy chief of the Imperial Horse Guard and bowed at the foot of the altar and said:

"Your Majesty, the new Horse Guard Sun Wukong rebelled and left the Heavenly Palace yesterday because he felt his position was too low."

As Zhang Tianshi was speaking, he saw the Heavenly King Zhangzhang leading the Heavenly Guards outside the South Heavenly Gate. He was very angry and reported, "Your Majesty, for some reason, the Horse Guard Sun Wukong escaped from the Heavenly Gate yesterday."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor remained calm and composed. He tapped the throne with his fingers and issued an order:
"Since this demon monkey is so stubborn, there is no need to let him off easily this time."

"Tell the two groups of gods to return to their respective duties. I will send the heavenly soldiers to capture the demon monkey."

Li Tianwang and Nezha the Third Prince appeared in the squad and said, "I am an incompetent official, but I ask for your permission to subdue this monster."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and immediately appointed Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, as the Great Marshal of Demon Subduing and Nezha the Third Prince as the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, and immediately led his troops to the lower world.

Li Tianwang and Nezha kowtowed and thanked him, and went straight to the palace, where they called up a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, led the chieftains, ordered the giant spirit to be the vanguard, the fish belly to plunder the rear, and the Yaksha to urge the troops. In a moment, they left the South Heaven Gate and came straight to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the 150,000 monsters had already been divided into 365 groups, using 365 large poles as flags.

These 365 departments each have their own duties and positions, and are arranged according to the 365 main stars in the sky.

One hundred and fifty thousand monsters were twisted together according to a specific pattern.

At this moment, the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain was like a sleeping prehistoric beast, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Li Tianwang was shocked when he saw the current momentum of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He was the commander-in-chief of the three armies and naturally an expert in military formations. How could he not see the power of the Flower-Fruit Mountain battle formation? He was secretly surprised in his heart:

"How come this long-lost demon battle formation has reappeared in the Three Realms?"

Li Tianwang then led 100,000 heavenly soldiers to set up camp and deploy their battle formations.

Such a huge and terrifying momentum of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals had long been noticed by the numerous monster spies deployed by Huaguo Mountain.

Xiao Chen naturally activated the Breath-Concealing Pearl and the Heavenly Secret Bag to conceal his aura, and observed the battle situation in Huaguo Mountain from three or four hundred miles away.

At this time, various forces in Dongsheng Shenzhou also sent people to inquire about the movements in Huaguo Mountain. There were many onlookers, including immortals, Buddhas, demons, monsters, and ghosts, but no one cared about Xiao Chen, the little monster.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain, an eagle demon spy spread his wings and flew away, turning into a streak of black light. He sank into the Water Curtain Cave and reported to Sun Wukong and Mo Langtong at the top:
"My Lord, my Lords, the heavenly soldiers and generals are coming. They are so densely packed that there may be hundreds of thousands of them."

Sun Wukong and Mo Lang looked at each other, their eyes filled with a strong desire to fight.

Mo Lang laughed wildly and said, "Well-come, well-come. I, the Demon King Jiao, have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Let the boys beat the drums and start the battle!" an order was given.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The roar of war drums rose one after another, echoing throughout the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

As the war drums roared, the battle formation of 150,000 demons was like a sleeping wild beast slowly awakening. The demonic energy soared into the sky, the murderous aura was everywhere, and there was a suffocating pressure.

In the mountain streams, treetops, and open spaces of Huaguo Mountain, the demons gathered into formations, forming a surging tide of demons, revealing the indomitable will of the demons in this world.

Monkey demon, eagle demon, bull demon, leopard demon, tiger demon, pig demon, snake demon, wolf demon, tree demon, scorpion demon, spider demon...

The mountains were filled with the deafening roars of war of various monsters. The roars were so deafening that the trees swayed and the birds and beasts flew away in fright.

On the top of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, two figures stood side by side, one short and thin, the other tall and strong.

The Monkey King wears a phoenix-wing purple gold crown, a golden chain mail armor, lotus silk cloud-walking shoes, and holds a golden hoop in his hand.

The Jiao Demon King wore a black Tongtian Crown, a dark scale armor, a wind and fire robe, and held a soul-splitting spear.

The two demons stood side by side, looking at the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and laughing wildly.

The 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of heaven have also set up their camps.

Li Tianwang stood in front of the formation, looking at the battle formation of the demon clan with a frown, and he also felt that the situation was a bit tricky. He decided to test the strength of the monkey demon first. If he could lure it out and capture it, that would be the best.

Li Tianwang glanced at all the gods and generals and stopped at the giant spirit. The giant spirit was one of his favorite generals. He was so powerful that he could move mountains and split rocks.

The Giant Spirit God is a benchmark of combat power. If the monster cannot defeat the Giant Spirit God, it is not a big deal. If it can defeat the Giant Spirit God, it means it is extraordinary.

Li Tianwang ordered: "Giant Spirit God, I order you to be the vanguard and capture the demon monkey!"

The giant spirit shouted, "Yes, command!"

After saying this, the giant spirit wheeled the Xuanhua Axe, descended from the clouds, and stood in front of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, where he jumped and roared, shouting:
"I am a general from heaven, ordered by the Jade Emperor to come here to subdue the evil monkey. Teach him to surrender as soon as possible!"

The Monkey King was so irritated that he bared his teeth and was ready to swing his golden cudgel to hit him on the head.

The Jiao Demon King stretched out his hand to stop the Monkey King and said with a smile: "Monkey, let me fight in the first battle!"

After saying this, without waiting for the Monkey King to speak, the Dragon Demon King leaped up and came in front of the Giant Spirit God.

The giant spirit shouted in a stern voice: "I am the vanguard of the supreme spirit, the tower-holding Li Tianwang, the giant spirit general! Who are you? I am looking for that monkey, let him come and fight me!"

"Hahaha……"

The Dragon Demon King laughed fiercely, said nothing, and thrust his spear forward.

Seeing this, the giant spirit god also took the Xuanhua axe and chopped at the Jiao Demon King.

The giant spirit has the power to move mountains and has boundless strength. The Xuanhua axe he wields is even more powerful and as heavy as a mountain.

How could the martial arts of the Dragon Demon King be inferior to his? The Soul-Splitting Spear in his hand was like a dragon playing in the water, unpredictable.

Every blow of the giant spirit's axe was heavy and powerful, sweeping out billowing clouds and mist; every strike of the dragon demon king's spear was flexible and swift, raising dirt, rocks and flying sand in the air.

Axes and spears were used left and right for more than ten rounds.

Sudden.

I saw a breathtaking cold light, like a meteor in the night sky, streak across the neck of the giant spirit.

The giant spirit dropped the Xuanhua axe and struggled to hold his neck with both hands, but how could he stop the gushing blood at this moment?

After a few breaths.

The giant spirit's head fell down, and its huge body as big as a mountain also collapsed with a loud bang. It hit the ground heavily with a bang, and even the Flower-Fruit Mountain trembled.

"Hahahahaha..."

The Dragon Demon King picked up the huge head of the Giant Spirit God, laughed wildly, and held it in his hand as if he was drinking.

The Jiao Demon King stuck his head in and drank a mouthful of the immortal blood. Then he threw it into the Flower-Fruit Mountain and ordered:

"My little ones, keep it for me and make it into a wine cup. I will drink from it in the future."
