Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 196 You guys are nothing!

Bodhi Patriarch and Shakyamuni both stared at Jiang Heng with grim expressions, their eyes blazing with fury.

What is this emperor doing? He's undermining the very foundation of Western religion! How can they tolerate this?

If the schemes of this human emperor succeed, even if the Western Religion flourishes, what does it have to do with the two of them?

Saint Zhunti still owes Heavenly Dao merits, and he is hoping to make a fortune during the Journey to the West to completely break free from his own constraints.

"Human Emperor, this time my senior brother and I will not compromise no matter what. We are all incarnations, and you can't stop us!" Patriarch Bodhi said in a deep voice.

As they spoke, powerful auras emanated from both Bodhi Patriarch and Shakyamuni, pressing down on Jiang Heng and Houtu Ancestral Witch.

If they could, Bodhi Patriarch and Shakyamuni would naturally not want to fight Jiang Heng, but at this point, they had no choice.

Only by defeating Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu can the two saints of the Western Sect stop the Great Sun Tathagata and allow the Journey to the West to return to normalcy.

"Want to fight us? Not that I look down on you two, but are you coming at me all at once, or one at a time?" Jiang Heng said with extreme disdain.

Jiang Heng didn't even intend to have Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, intervene, as he was only dealing with two incarnations of saints from the Western Sect.

It wasn't that Jiang Heng looked down on Shakyamuni and Bodhi Patriarch, but rather that the difference in their strength was simply too great. Both were incarnations of saints, yet their abilities were worlds apart.

"Your Majesty, stop! If you step aside now, we will absolutely not make things difficult for you!"

Just then, another figure appeared, and it was the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun who came to Jiang Heng's side.

At the same time, the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West arrived, and even Lu Ya, who had suffered repeated defeats, came.

"It's quite a scene! It seems you weren't entirely unprepared! But do you think this will stop me?" Jiang Heng said.

The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is not only extremely crucial for the Western Religion, but also for the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun; naturally, no mistakes can be made.

As allies of the Western religion, seeing the Journey to the West calamity deviating from its original course, the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Heavenly Court had no choice but to intervene.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, this was indeed all your scheme. We should settle this score properly!" Jade Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice.

Having long noticed unusual signs in Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor Haotian had always suspected that a powerful figure was plotting something behind the scenes.

Now, the truth has come to light, just as the Jade Emperor Haotian predicted. The one plotting behind the scenes was indeed Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor.

"Haotian, who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that? Do you want to become a laughingstock in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man again?" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Having chosen to take action, Jiang Heng was prepared to face anything. Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to intervene, Jiang Heng would not be surprised in the slightest.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, we are all just incarnations. Once we start fighting, we may not be the ones who suffer!" Jade Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice.

The Jade Emperor Haotian and other powerful figures believed that they were all incarnations of saints and that their strength was actually about the same, but they had the advantage in numbers.

If Jiang Heng were truly here, do you think the Jade Emperor and the others would still dare to speak like this, or even dare to appear before Jiang Heng?

"Outnumbered people bullying outnumbered people? I can't stand by and watch this!"

Just then, a hearty voice rang out, and the avatar of the Tongtian Sect Master appeared, standing alongside Jiang Heng.

The Supreme Lord Laozi, the incarnation of the Sage Taiqing, also appeared silently at this time, confronting the Jade Emperor Haotian and others.

In this way, Jiang Heng's side has a total of four saint-level incarnations, while the Western Sect has three saint-level incarnations, plus three peak quasi-saints.

It appears that the Western Church has more people, but when it comes to the relative strength of each other, the Western Church has no guarantee of victory.

Jiang Heng, Houtu Ancestral Witch, Taiqing Sage, Tongtian Sect Master, even if they are just incarnations, how could they be so easy to deal with?

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the Great Sun Tathagata had already arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain and manifested before Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and the others.

"Sun Wukong, you have privately destroyed the Heavenly Realm and disrupted the peace of the Three Realms. You deserve a calamity. Why don't you surrender immediately?"

The voice of the Great Sun Tathagata shook the heavens and resounded throughout the Three Realms. His powerful and terrifying aura permeated the Three Realms, causing countless living beings to tremble in fear.

Clearly, the Buddha Vairocana's visit was also to establish his authority, and he naturally had to display his power without reservation.

Only with great strength can the power of Mahayana Buddhism be demonstrated, and only then can Mahayana Buddhism flourish in the three realms.

"Hmph! And who are you, some powerful figure? Do you really think I, Old Sun, am easy to bully? You dare to come here no matter what kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry you are?" Sun Wukong said disdainfully.

Although Sun Wukong was in Yang Jian's hands, he was full of confidence in his own strength and still regarded the powerful beings of the Three Realms as nothing.

Although the aura emanating from the Great Sun Tathagata was exceptionally powerful, Sun Wukong showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his fighting spirit soared.

"Great Sun Tathagata, why have you come to suppress Sun Wukong? You should remember that you have no connection with the Heavenly Court!" Yang Jian asked in a deep voice.

Yang Jian was well aware of the power of the Great Sun Tathagata, and he naturally understood that with Sun Wukong's strength, he was probably no match for the Great Sun Tathagata.

Out of his admiration for Sun Wukong, Yang Jian naturally did not want Sun Wukong to be suppressed by the Great Sun Tathagata, nor did he want Sun Wukong to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court.

"I have no connection with the Heavenly Court. We are currently in the midst of a great calamity, and you should know some things about this calamity!" said the Great Sun Tathagata.

When facing Yang Jian, even the Great Sun Tathagata had to become extremely cautious, for he knew just how terrifying Yang Jian's strength was.

If Yang Jian were to intervene in this matter, even for him, it would be virtually impossible to suppress Sun Wukong again.

Yang Jian nodded, choosing not to stop the Great Sun Tathagata. He had already understood what the Great Sun Tathagata had just said.

As the chosen one of the past calamities of the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian could naturally see that Sun Wukong before him was actually the chosen one of this calamity.

As a chosen one of destiny, some things are beyond one's control. In the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian was originally in the same situation.

It was only because of Jiang Heng's existence that Yang Jian had the ability to break free from fate and even single-handedly storm the Heavenly Court.

Now, it is clearly Sun Wukong's turn to face his own destiny. Whether he can escape his fate depends entirely on himself.

"Brother Yang Jian, are you really going to leave this matter alone?" Nezha asked curiously, seeing that Yang Jian had not stopped the Great Sun Tathagata.

After the battle between Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, seeing Sun Wukong's current strength, Nezha was actually itching to fight again.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to spar with Sun Wukong again. Who would have thought that the Great Sun Tathagata would appear at this moment?

"This matter is not simple. The transformation of Daoist Duobao into the Great Sun Tathagata was the work of the Sage Taiqing and the Human Emperor. You should know this."

"Since the Great Sun Tathagata has chosen to make a move, there must be a scheme by the Supreme Saint and the Human Emperor involved!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

Nezha nodded unconsciously. The calculations of a sage were naturally beyond his and Yang Jian's ability to interfere with.

"Hmph! No matter who you are, if you want to fight, why would I, Old Sun, be afraid of you?" Sun Wukong said, his fighting spirit surging.

Sun Wukong was at his peak after his breakthrough, and he was not afraid at all even when facing a powerful figure like the Great Sun Tathagata.

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will make a bet with you. Do you dare to bet with me?" said the Great Sun Tathagata.

"What's there to be afraid of? How do you want to gamble with me, Old Sun?" Sun Wukong said without the slightest fear.

The Great Sun Buddha smiled slightly, stretched out a palm, and said, "If you can escape from my palm, then you have won!"

If you cannot escape my grasp, then you deserve this calamity and shall be suppressed by me for five hundred years!

Sun Wukong stared at the outstretched palm of the Great Sun Tathagata, his expression turning extremely gloomy, his eyes revealing endless rage.

Although Sun Wukong sensed the powerful aura of the Great Sun Tathagata, he had no idea who the Great Sun Tathagata was.

But no matter who the Great Sun Tathagata is, to make such a bet with him, how much does he look down on Sun Wukong?

Even in the battle with Yang Jian, although Sun Wukong was defeated, he believed that it was impossible for him not to escape Yang Jian's palm.

Could this Great Sun Tathagata before him be even more powerful than Yang Jian? Sun Wukong simply didn't believe it and was instantly enraged.

"Hmph! I, Old Sun, will shatter your hand completely!" Sun Wukong said angrily.

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, without waiting for the Great Sun Tathagata to speak again, he leaped into the palm of the Great Sun Tathagata.

"After Daoist Duobao transformed into the Great Sun Tathagata, he became quite arrogant!" Kong Xuan said with a smile.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, both Kong Xuan and Nezha fought against Duobao Daoren, so they were well aware of Duobao Daoren's strength.

However, in Kong Xuan's view, Sun Wukong's strength was extraordinary. For the Great Sun Tathagata to think he could suppress Sun Wukong with one hand was a bit too presumptuous.

"The Great Sun Tathagata is extraordinary. His palm may seem ordinary, but it contains a world of its own!" Yang Jian said solemnly.

Yang Jian himself possessed twenty-four great worlds, so he was naturally extremely familiar with the aura of the great worlds and could see the clues of the Great Sun Tathagata's palm at a glance.

In Yang Jian's view, the palm of the Great Sun Tathagata was clearly a vast world, with its own set of rules.

In other words, the vast world within the palm of Vairocana Buddha is entirely under his control, and its rules are all within his control.

Just like Yang Jian, in the twenty-four great worlds he controls, he is also an existence like a creator.

In a world under one's own control, one is invincible. Unless there is a significant difference in strength, no one can possibly be a match for the world's master.

Sun Wukong's reckless entry into the world controlled by the Great Sun Buddha suggests that he has likely fallen into the Buddha's trap.
