Journey to the West: I am the fiercest bird under Bodhi's seat

"Take him to the Water Curtain Cave for safekeeping."

The Yellow Turban Warriors are the highest-level puppets crafted from immortal talismans, created by the immortals themselves.

This wind and fire cloth not only contains the power of wind and fire, but also features the talisman of the Yellow Turban Warrior, which can be summoned at any time.

After giving his orders, Ye Feng looked up at Li Jing, who was fleeing.

However, this person was extremely fast, and in an instant, he shrank into a black shadow on the horizon.

Ye Feng swung his sword from afar, ignoring the attack.

On the other side, the four monkey generals witnessed Ye Feng's swift defeat of Hua Guang, capture of Xing Su, and forced Li Jing to retreat, and roared in unison:

"Heavenly soldiers! Your marshal has fled! Surrender at once!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the battlefield.

The heavenly soldiers, who were already engaged in fierce fighting, were terrified upon hearing this, and their morale plummeted. In addition, the sound of the Kui Niu drum was soul-stirring, causing their morale to fall to rock bottom.

Seeing this, Nezha, who was locked in battle with the Black Bear Demon, urged his Wind and Fire Wheels on, transforming into a streak of red light and heading straight for the Heavenly Court.

Before departing, he roared, "Li Jing deserted the battlefield; his crime is tantamount to treason! All generals, follow me in retreat!"

With their commander gone, the heavenly soldiers lost all morale and collapsed like a tidal wave in an instant.

Li Jing ran wildly without stopping.

Although his combat strength was mediocre, he still possessed the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal.

Especially after being bestowed the title of Heavenly King, he possessed countless magical treasures. While he might not be remarkable in direct combat, his life-saving techniques were top-notch.

He sped like lightning, traversing tens of thousands of miles of space in the blink of an eye.

Once my mind had calmed down, I looked back and saw that Huaguo Mountain had already disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

But his heart was heavy.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, deserting in the face of battle is a grave crime that cannot be tolerated by the heavens.

If he were to return to Heaven, he would surely be impeached and punished.

Although he has made many friends among his colleagues over the years, no one can excuse him from such a heavy responsibility.

There were already people in the court who coveted his position, not to mention those from the Jie Sect who had unresolved old grudges from the Investiture of the Gods.

Take Luo Xuan, the Fire God, for example; he died at Luo Xuan's hands back then.

In the current situation, there is nowhere to turn but death.

Suppressing his agitation, he changed direction and flew towards the celestial realm.

Shortly after setting off, a sense of unease suddenly arose in my heart.

Suddenly turning around, a golden sword aura had already torn through the sky and slashed down.

Too fast to react.

In his haste, he summoned the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, which rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal shadow that blotted out the sky, to meet the suppression of the sword energy.

boom--!

A deafening roar reverberated through the void.

The Seven Treasures Pagoda shattered on the spot, but the remaining sword energy continued unabated, rushing straight towards Li Jing.

He had no time to dodge; his body was pierced through by the sword energy and split in two.

But he was ruthless and decisive. When he realized there was no way to avoid it, his primordial spirit had already escaped from his body, abandoning the physical body he had cultivated for thousands of years.

His primordial spirit leaped out, and an ancient mirror appeared—the very same Demon-Revealing Mirror.

He walked with the mirror, using his remaining magical power to quickly escape towards the Heavenly Court.

Having lost his physical body, his cultivation level is reduced to less than one-tenth. Even if he is rebuilt with the help of magical treasures in the future, he will probably find it difficult to return to his peak and will at least fall to the bottom level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

His position in Heaven will be shaken as a result.

Now let's talk about Huaguo Mountain.

The heavenly army suffered a crushing defeat.

The 100,000 heavenly soldiers retreated like a tidal wave, rushing to flee to the heavenly realm, their fighting spirit completely gone.

At this moment, they only regretted that their magic power was insufficient and that riding the clouds was too slow.

Ye Feng pointed his sword at the sky and shouted, "My comrades, follow me and charge into the Heavenly Court!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the battlefield.

The demons of Flower Fruit Mountain echoed in unison, their imposing aura soaring to the heavens.

With a flap of his wings, he instantly caught up with the rear guard of the Heavenly Soldiers.

The Twelve Earthly Fiends of the Dipper Department were responsible for covering the rear; upon seeing the attack approach, their souls were scattered.

Ye Feng swung the Demon Emperor Sword and slashed down, cutting the Twelve Star Lords in half at the waist.

The true fire of the sun ignited from the wound, instantly burning his body to ashes.

The primordial spirits tried to escape, but he swung his sword again and annihilated them all, leaving none alive.

From then on, the Huaguo Mountain army, led by Ye Feng, marched mightily towards the Heavenly Realm.

He subdued the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the stars of the East and West with his Wind and Fire Futon.

Li Jing had already fled, and Nezha had also retreated long ago. Only those who were slow to move were left behind and were all slaughtered.

Two hundred thousand demon soldiers poured out, and blood rained down from the sky.

They broke through the thunder, fire, and fierce clouds all the way.

Some lesser demons, who had not yet attained immortality and would have had difficulty passing through this tribulation cloud, were all surrounded by golden light and ascended to the heavens under Ye Feng's divine protection.

Beyond the towering clouds, the Heavenly Court was already in sight.

The defeated soldiers fled in disarray, and from afar they could see the majestic South Heavenly Gate standing tall.

At this moment, Nezha, the Third Prince, had already entered the gate, followed closely by the Four Heavenly Kings, while the remaining heavenly soldiers desperately squeezed their way inside.

The four marshals guarding the gate, Wang, Yang, Gao, and Li, were greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

Although they had seen Marshal Li Jing escape into the doorway through the demon-revealing mirror, they had not spoken, unaware that the battle had deteriorated to this extent.

Where is Emperor Huaguang?

Where are the Twenty-Eight Mansions? The Eastern and Western Stars, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Luminaries, the Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends...

Where are those celestial pillars now?

Among the routed troops, only a portion of the Four Heavenly Kings and scattered Earthly Fiends could be seen; the formation was incomplete, and it was clear that most of them had perished at Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Four Heavenly Kings, who were originally the guards of the Southern Heavenly Gate, landed and immediately shouted in a stern voice, "Close the Heavenly Gate immediately! The Golden Crow is about to arrive!"

The four marshals were shocked: "Heavenly King, some heavenly soldiers have not yet returned!"

The Heavenly King Dhritarashtra's face turned deathly pale: "There's no time to worry! There's no time to worry! If that golden crow breaks in, neither of us will survive! Close the door quickly, I'm about to cast a spell!"

The situation was urgent, and the four marshals were alarmed to see demon soldiers rushing out from the layer of thunder and fire.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, no demon king has ever led a large army to attack the Heavenly Gate.

The other demon kings, at most, rely on their supernatural powers to cause trouble in the lower realms, and the most rampant of them are merely to challenge and demonstrate their power alone outside the South Heavenly Gate.

It is unprecedented for Ye Feng to lead the demon army in a frontal attack on the South Heavenly Gate.

This is no longer a "raging in heaven" but a blatant "rebellion".

As soon as the gate closed, the Four Heavenly Kings immediately joined forces to chant a spell.

In an instant, an invisible barrier descended, and the outline of the South Heavenly Gate quickly blurred and eventually disappeared.

This is the Heavenly Court's protective formation—the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Formation.

Although it is not as all-encompassing as the Primordial Demon Court's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, it still contains the wonders of the creation of heaven and earth.

Once activated, no matter how fiercely the outside world attacks, it will be difficult to shake it in the slightest.

It also possesses the ability to conceal itself, making it difficult for even the most powerful individuals to find its entrance.

Time flows within the Heavenly Court in a way that is entirely different from that of the Four Continents due to the great array.

As the formation was completed, the Four Heavenly Kings felt a slight sense of relief, but at the last moment, a golden afterimage swept into the South Heavenly Gate like a ghost.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Four Marshals' expressions changed drastically, and their nerves tightened.

In an instant, golden light shot into the sky, and Ye Feng stood in the void, holding the Demon Emperor Sword tightly in his hand, his clothes fluttering.

The Four Heavenly Kings felt a chill creep up their spines, their fighting spirit vanished, and they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The Heavenly King Zengguang cried out in alarm, "That ferocious bird has already ascended to the Heavenly Court! Quickly report to His Majesty!"

The roar was like a thunderclap, and everyone was suddenly awakened. They all transformed into streaks of light and fled towards the Lingxiao Palace.

Ye Feng did not pursue, but stood suspended in mid-air with his sword, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds and looking into the depths of the Heavenly Palace—what he saw before him was nothing but magnificent palaces and celestial aura.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the Golden Crow Divine Eye quietly activated, with two clusters of golden flames leaping within its pupils.

At the edge of the horizon, a completely black monkey descended from beyond the thirty-third heaven, acting like a madman, attacking anyone it encountered.

Countless palaces were destroyed, and countless celestial officials suffered horrific deaths, their blood staining the cloud steps.

At this time, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Eastern and Western Dipper Palaces, and the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends were all trapped on Flower Fruit Mountain. The Heavenly Court's patrol force was reduced by more than half, which allowed the monkey to take advantage of the situation and enter.

Ye Feng's lips curled slightly as he murmured, "The timing is perfect."

His ability to "see" the monkey was not due to his physical eyes, but rather to his divine sense traversing the boundless void to lock onto it from afar.

He came here not to help the monkey, but for another purpose.

His gaze slowly shifted towards the South Heavenly Gate, and his fingers gripping the Demon Emperor Sword tightened slightly.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious cry resounded through the sky. Above Ye Feng's head, auspicious clouds stretched for thousands of feet, and a golden crow appeared, its radiance scattering across the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Demon Emperor Sword resonated and trembled, its blade bursting forth with boundless light. An extremely sharp sword aura shot out from the sword's core, cleaving straight towards the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"A day in heaven is a year on earth; you gods sit high on the clouds."

"Who granted you this authority?"

"And who gave you permission to lord it over all living beings?"

"Today, I shall break this order, unify the order of heaven and earth, and eliminate the distinction between high and low."

Ye Feng's eyes burned with golden flames.

Under the discerning gaze of the Golden Crow Divine Eye, the entire structure of the Heavenly Court's grand formation was revealed.

The South Heavenly Gate is the core of the Four Symbols Grand Formation, guarded by the Vermilion Bird of the South, associated with the element of Fire.

However, the true Four Symbols were powerful beings from the primordial era, whom even the ancient demon court could not subdue, let alone the Heavenly Court today.

The so-called "Vermilion Bird" is nothing more than a phantom created by an array.

As the sword energy descended, the South Heavenly Gate trembled violently.

Suddenly, a long cry broke the silence, and a phantom of a divine bird wrapped in flames soared into the sky.

The bird was engulfed in flames, exuding a noble aura, like an emperor amidst the fire, its power overwhelming all directions.

The sword energy slashed down, but was blocked by the flames rising in front of the phantom, its speed was greatly reduced, and its power was constantly eroded.

One of the Seven True Fires, the Southern Bright Fire!

The Heavenly Court's protective array is so formidable that it cannot be broken with a single blow.

But Ye Feng had been planning this for a long time.

Before setting off, he had gathered enough intelligence to understand the weaknesses of the Four Symbols Formation.

If attacked from the outside, it is indestructible; but if broken from the inside, it is as easily broken as rotten wood.

The golden flames in his eyes quietly died out.

A chilling aura emanated from his body, and his eyes gradually became hollow, as cold as frost.

Deep within his pupils, the phantom of a hideous white-boned demon god appeared.

Even the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand let out a mournful cry, faintly resisting its master's control.

Mysterious Darkness Divine Power—Activate!

Ye Feng loosened the sword hilt and pressed down lightly with one hand.

In an instant, countless pale lights appeared in the sky.

The light coalesced and took shape, transforming into rows of stark white bones, emanating a chilling aura.

In an instant, hundreds of bones fell, raining down on the phantom of the Vermilion Bird.

At the same time, a pair of phantom wings appeared behind Ye Feng, and with a gentle flap, he stepped onto the spatial node.

One hundred and eight bone spurs fell precisely, striking the Vermilion Bird's energy hub.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Feng's figure appeared in front of Zhuque like a ghost. In his hand, he no longer held the Demon Emperor Sword, but the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Slaying Sword that exuded chaotic energy!

He put all his strength into slashing down with his sword!

boom--!!

The earth-shattering roar shook the thirty-three heavens, causing the entire celestial court to tremble.

A golden ray of light pierced through the clouds, transforming into an enormous phantom of a golden crow, illuminating the heavens.

The spatial barrier collapsed, and the Heavenly Court's barrier first shattered at the South Heavenly Gate, and then completely disintegrated.

The Southern Heavenly Gate reappeared in the world, leaving the demons outside speechless as they gazed at the light that pierced through heaven and earth.

The light shone brightly over the thirty-three heavens; it was the radiance of the sun from the four continents.

Time has finally returned to its original course.

Ye Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze sweeping over the magnificent scene of the Heavenly Palace.

The mystical illusions in his eyes dissipated, and his expression returned to normal.

With a single point of his sword, his voice boomed like thunder:

"Charge in!"

Before the words were even finished, the demons of Flower Fruit Mountain were filled with fervor, roared in unison, and surged into the Heavenly Gate like a tidal wave.
