Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 167 Overpowering Lion Camel Ridge

In later versions of Journey to the West, the description of Lion Camel Ridge is only a few simple sentences.

Even Tang Sanzang and his companions did not have detailed memories of the eighty-one tribulations of their journey to the West.

When they truly arrived at Lion Camel Ridge, treading on blood and mud and stepping over withered bones, they truly witnessed what it meant to be overrun by demons, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and demonic energy soaring to the sky!

Tang Sanzang, unable to bear it any longer, chanted a Buddhist prayer, "May the Buddha have mercy!"

"The three demons committed endless killings in the human world, yet no karmic retribution has come upon them; how pitiful."

Sha Wujing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his voice was chilling, "The saints of this realm are truly ruthless, using so many humans to pave the way for this so-called great calamity, this so-called destiny!"

They ascended to immortality as humankind, cultivated in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of millions of years, and were later highly valued by the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, becoming his close attendants and being appointed as the Curtain-Rolling General.

He fought for the Heavenly Court for countless years.

I never expected to see such a tragic scene in the world of Journey to the West today.

How can my heart be at peace!

"I will slay all the demons of Lion Camel Ridge to avenge my human race and quell the resentment that lingers over the eight hundred thousand miles of Lion Camel Ridge!"

Sun Wukong's eyes gleamed with golden light, his divine eyes piercing through heaven and earth. He spoke reassuringly, "General, please do not be angry. These three demons are easy to eliminate; let us lure out the powerful being behind them."

"Wouldn't it be much more satisfying to just eliminate them completely and eradicate them at the root!"

Pigsy waved his Yin-Yang Fan, his expression calm. "The Buddhism in this world is too insidious. If it is not eradicated, the great calamity for humanity will only be the beginning."

He has long since shed his pig-like appearance and returned to his true self.

With a dashing and debonair appearance, he walked behind Tang Sanzang.

However, the chilling gaze in his eyes revealed that he was also extremely angry.

As a disciple of the Sage Taiqing of the Human Sect, Zhu Bajie was also a human who had become an immortal. How could he remain calm when he saw the tragic scene before him?

Tang Sanzang suddenly stopped and said, "Today, let us quell the resentment in the hearts of these endless vengeful spirits."

boom!

His sleeves were torn, and only his cassock remained wrapped around his body.

His muscular physique gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Buddhist light emanated from Tang Sanzang's body, and the phantoms of the Eight Heavenly Dragons swirled around him. "Disciples," he cried, "follow your master to vanquish demons and monsters!"

Bang!

Several loud explosions.

A hundred miles away, a group of lesser demons exploded, turning into a blood mist that scattered all over the ground!

"I've been waiting for this for ages!"

Sun Wukong flashed, and the innate spiritual treasure Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared in his palm, ever-changing.

"Here comes Old Sun!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook, and a group of powerful demons thousands of miles away were turned into mincemeat by the golden cudgel.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang had already stepped on the Eight Heavenly Dragons and flown into Lion Camel Ridge.

The battle has begun!

Pigsy laughed heartily, "We can't let you, you monkey, steal all the limelight! Fellow disciples, kill them!"

With a wave of his Yin-Yang fan, endless Yin-Yang power flowed, transforming into swords that shot out in all directions.

Demons within a radius of ten thousand miles were sliced ​​into strips of flesh and their souls were annihilated by these endless flying swords.

Without uttering a sound, Sha Wujing produced a magical weapon and smashed a Golden Immortal realm demon ten thousand miles away.

"Senior brothers, you guys are too violent."

Ao Lie looked at the violent scene before him with a helpless expression.

The next second, a white dragon tail that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens, and 100,000 demons perished.

After doing all this, Ao Lie smiled, "I'm still the most elegant..."

······

Inside the Lion Camel Cave.

The three demons—the green-haired lion monster, the yellow-toothed elephant, and the golden-winged eagle—were discussing something inside the cave.

The eight Golden Immortals below each took their seats.

The Golden-Winged Roc sat in the main seat, its aura as a Great Luo Golden Immortal dominating the entire scene.

"Everyone, I have already returned from Huanghua Temple. Tang Sanzang will arrive at my Lion Camel Ridge territory soon."

"Notify the lesser demons below to conceal Lion Camel Ridge, leaving only a portion of the demons to form a calamity, which Tang Sanzang will then overcome."

The blue-haired lion monster's face glowed with a blue light. "Hmph! These hypocritical fellows make us do all the dirty and hard work, while they reap all the credit. How hateful!"

Upon hearing this, the old elephant with yellow tusks changed his expression slightly. "Brother, don't speak nonsense! The tide has turned against us; why speak of anything else!"

The victor is king, the loser is villain; things have come to this.

If they can't even stay in the West, endless suffering awaits them.

"What nonsense about the general trend! That Duobao, in order to achieve his own supreme position, just watched us become the mounts of the Chan Sect immortals, and did nothing about it."

"Now they've sent us down to the mortal realm to wreak havoc; in the end, won't we be the ones to bear this immense karma?"

The blue-haired lion monster was even more indignant.

The Golden-Winged Roc sat in the main seat, completely ignoring what was happening.

He glanced at the little demon below, and waited for the little demon to leave to carry out the order before slowly speaking, "You two, Buddha has already issued a decree that after this calamity is over, you will be sent to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool."

"By cleansing oneself of defilement, one can attain the Bodhisattva state."

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired lion monster's expression finally improved.

Seeing his expression, the Golden-Winged Roc stopped talking and prepared to leave.

This 800,000-mile-long human territory is nominally the territory of the three demons.

In reality, the ones who truly control this place are the blue-haired lion monster and the yellow-toothed old elephant.

The Golden-Winged Roc only comes here occasionally to check on things, acting as a kind of regulator.

After all, the eighty-one tribulations and the great calamity that has brought about this great upheaval in the West cannot afford any mistakes.

"What an idiot! No wonder he's been reduced to a mount!"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures only instructed them to descend to the mortal realm and wreak havoc on the human world, but did not specify how they would wreak havoc.

One person with cholera is still cholera, and hundreds of millions of people with cholera are still cholera.

These two fools, relying on their own strength and background, devoured the human race and created a demon kingdom.

This has led to the accumulation of karma. Now that you know fear, you blame others. You are truly not wise to do anything!

The Golden-Winged Roc looked down on both of them even more.

However, before the Golden-Winged Roc had gone far, it sensed several powerful auras appearing in the distance.

"Someone has forcibly entered Lion Camel Ridge. I'll go and see which dares to be so audacious!"

With a loud shout, the Golden-Winged Roc vanished into the Lion Camel Cave in a flash.

The remaining two demons also sensed the aura in the distance, their expressions changed, and they left.

Meanwhile, outside...

Tang Sanzang grabbed a small demon in each hand, and with a shake of his hands, the small demon in his hands turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"May the Buddha have mercy! I have sinned! I have sinned!"

With one kick, he blasted over a hundred lesser demons to pieces, and Tang Sanzang spoke with compassion.

Before he could make a further move, a furious shout rang out from the void, "Where did this demon scoundrel come from, daring to run wild in my territory!"

With a flash of golden light, a figure appeared in the void, and the aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal suddenly erupted.

With a look of compassion in his eyes, Tang Sanzang said, "This humble monk is Tang Sanzang of the Great Tang Dynasty in the East."

"Since you say this is your territory, it is clear that you are the leader of all demons. In that case, why don't you join this humble monk in quelling the resentment of these millions of vengeful spirits?"

"Tang Sanzang?!"

The Golden-Winged Roc's expression changed.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the person before them was indeed the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.

Could it be that this guy has awakened his true self and regained his cultivation? But how is that possible?!

How could his aura be so violent and domineering!

Before the Golden-Winged Roc could react, a colossal hand that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens, transforming into a giant mountain that crashed down upon them.

Tang Sanzang's voice was filled with sorrow, "My disciple only ate some fruit, and you immortals and gods have suppressed him for five hundred years; you devour hundreds of millions of humans and get away with it, it's truly pitiful."

"Today, I will suppress you for 100,000 years to atone for the sins of hundreds of millions of people."

boom!

The earth and sky shook.

The Golden-Winged Roc was suppressed on the spot.

The million demons were horrified, their faces filled with horror: "The three kings have been suppressed!"

"The monk is fierce, run!"

With screams, they scattered and fled.

"If we let you escape, wouldn't we become nothing more than decorations?"

Sun Wukong appeared in the east, his eyes mocking, and then countless golden-haired monkeys descended from the sky to attack the demons.

Pigsy, Sandy, and Ao Lie each stood in one direction, guarding their respective territories.

The blue-haired lion monster and the yellow-toothed old elephant arrived just in time to see the Golden-Winged Roc being suppressed, and their expressions changed drastically.

But before they could speak, killing forces appeared from all directions.

Amidst the tremors of the endless void, it turned into dust.

Having done all this, Tang Sanzang said calmly, "Disciple, follow me to overcome difficulties and obtain the scriptures!"

boom!

The million demons of Lion Camel Ridge were instantly reduced to dust, with not a single one surviving.

The power of a quasi-saint is terrifying!

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong and his companions each pointed to their weapons and followed behind Tang Sanzang.

Only an old monk remained, sitting cross-legged in the place, chanting Buddhist mantras to deliver countless wronged souls from suffering.

The next calamity will be in the Bhikkhu Kingdom.

Tang Sanzang looked at the border of the Bhikkhu Kingdom, which was filled with demonic energy, and recited a Buddhist chant.

"May the Buddha have mercy, my disciples, follow your master for one day to overcome this hardship, please grant me this request!"
