However, Sha Wujing was not the only one in this group.
Unlike the original story, Ao Lie, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, who was supposed to be the mount, did not transform into a white horse. Instead, he appeared as a handsome young man in white robes, following the group.
Without the bloodline of the dragon race, the white dragon horse became an ordinary horse, and its speed was much slower.
On this day, the five of them slowly walked to a desolate and dilapidated place.
Looking around, the land was ravaged, with deep, bottomless ravines crisscrossing the landscape, as if a god had wielded a giant axe here.
A thick, oppressive sense of sorrow and malevolence filled the air, making it hard to breathe.
"Great Sage, why is this place...so terrifying?"
As Dong Sanzang rode on his horse, his face turned pale, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
Sun Wukong's eyes flashed as he gazed at the shattered world, his expression solemn.
“Monk, if I’m not mistaken, this place should be the final site of the ancient war between the witches and demons, the former pillar of heaven and earth, the old site of Mount Buzhou!”
Upon hearing this, Pigsy's eyes widened in amazement as he cautiously looked around. "Good heavens, it's actually Mount Buzhou!"
"I had heard that this place had been reduced to ruins, and seeing it today, I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation."
"This malevolent aura will likely not dissipate even after hundreds of millions of years!"
Ao Lie, now in human form, also frowned. He could sense that deep within this land lay too much resentment and bitterness.
"Once we cross this old site, we should be able to reach the western continent a short distance ahead."
Sun Wukong's voice was heavy.
He instinctively sensed that this place was unusual and not a place to linger.
……
at the same time.
Above the thirty-three heavens, in the Primordial Heavenly Court, lies the Lingxiao Palace.
Thousands of stars fell, transforming into a beaded curtain that enveloped the supreme imperial throne.
On the imperial throne, Donghuang Taiyi slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze pierced through endless time and space, landing on Bai Ze, who stood respectfully below.
"Bai Ze".
A detached yet authoritative voice echoed within the hall.
"Chen is here!"
Bai Ze bowed deeply, his expression extremely respectful.
Where is the westward-bound team now?
Bai Ze quickly calculated with his fingers, the secrets of heaven flowing through his mind, and then replied, "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong and his party have arrived at the old site of Buzhou Mountain, the place where the Lich King and the Demon King fought their final battle."
"it is good!"
A barely perceptible smile curved at the corners of Donghuang Taiyi's lips, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"The time has come!"
He spoke slowly, his voice filled with excitement.
"How is the practice of the Zhou Tian Star Formation going?"
"Your Majesty, the 365 Great Luo Demon Gods have returned to their positions, and the hundreds of millions of demon soldiers and generals are ready for battle. The great formation is ready to be activated at any time, awaiting only Your Majesty's command!" Bai Ze's voice was powerful and resonant.
"very good!"
Donghuang Taiyi nodded, and an invisible aura of imperial dominance spread out. "Issue my decree, ordering all the demon gods of the heavens to take their positions immediately and be ready to set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array!"
"When I join forces with Houtu to tear apart the river of time and space and forcibly rescue people, you must immediately activate the great formation to obscure the secrets of heaven and confuse the will of heaven. There must be no mistakes!"
"Sir, obey the order!"
Bai Ze felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the plan to resurrect Emperor Dijun and Empress Xihe was finally about to begin!
……
The Nine Netherworlds, the depths of the underworld.
In the magnificent Hall of Reincarnation, Houtu Niangniang, seated atop the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, also opened her eyes.
Your Highness, two towering figures stood solemnly. One held a shield and axe, exuding a fierce aura; he was the God of War, Xing Tian. The other had a ferocious face, a bronze head and an iron forehead; he was the God of War, Chi You.
"Xingtian, Chiyou."
Houtu spoke in a gentle and calm voice.
"Your Majesty!" The two knelt down on one knee at the same time.
"The time has come. I command you to gather the sons of my Wu tribe and be ready to welcome our elder brothers back at any time."
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Xing Tian and Chi You's eyes blazed with boundless joy. The Ancestral Witches had been revived, and the Witch Clan would soon return to its peak.
……
The old site of Buzhou Mountain.
Sun Wukong and his companions were walking cautiously across this shattered land, believing that as long as they were careful, nothing unexpected would happen.
However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!
"Waaaaah—"
"Roar--"
The entire earth seemed to come alive and began to tremble violently.
Streams of pitch-black resentment erupted from the cracks deep underground, coalescing in mid-air into grotesque, malevolent ghosts.
These vengeful spirits are all manifestations of the obsessions of powerful beings who perished in the ancient war between the Lich King and the Demon King. Although they lack intelligence, they are filled with endless hatred for all living beings.
"You monster, you're asking for death!"
Sun Wukong's eyes shone with golden light. Without saying a word, he took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear, which transformed into a giant pillar ten thousand feet tall, and swept it away!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Golden Cudgel contains unparalleled power. Those vengeful ghosts may seem ferocious, but they are no match for Sun Wukong, who is at the half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal level.
Yet it was as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch, easily smashed into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into the heavens and earth.
Pigsy and Ao Lie also used their supernatural powers to kill all the approaching vengeful ghosts.
However, as these resentments dissipated, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Thin wisps and strands of barely visible starlight descended from the heavens, while at the same time, an even denser aura of malevolence surged from the depths of the earth.
Starlight and malevolent energy intertwined, quickly transforming into a thick fog so dense that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, enveloping the entire westward-bound team.
"Oh no! It's a formation!"
Sun Wukong was startled and quickly used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique to try to dispel the mist.
However, once his magic entered the fog, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
"Big Brother, what's going on?" Pigsy's voice was tinged with panic.
Sun Wukong did not answer, but instead opened his eyes. The golden divine light pierced through the illusion, and the scene before him made him stand there dumbfounded.
As the fog enveloping everyone slowly dissipated, and they witnessed the surrounding scene once more, not only Sun Wukong, but everyone was utterly shocked by the sight before them.
They seemed to be in a vast, ancient battlefield in the starry sky.
To their left, 365 Great Zhou Celestial Banners fluttered in the wind, drawing upon the power of the stars to create a vast and boundless unparalleled array.
Within the formation, a stellar giant, formed from the power of billions of stars, wielded a star axe and exuded a terrifying, world-destroying pressure.
To their right stood twelve colossal banners, each bearing the enigmatic true form of an ancestral witch. Endless malevolent energy surged from the banners, coalescing into another terrifying and overwhelming array.
In the center of the formation, a giant with bulging muscles, wielding a giant axe, and with an indistinct face, roared to the sky. The aura emanating from him seemed to be able to recreate the world!
The Great Array of the Celestial Stars!
The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation!
The immense pressure, even though he knew it was an illusion, still made Sun Wukong frown and his bones creak.
"Roar!"
The Star Giant and the giant that resembled the true form of Pangu roared at the same time and clashed fiercely together!
"Boom—"
After a deafening roar that defied description, time and space seemed to be completely torn apart by the attack, and a surging, illusory river that stretched through the past, present, and future appeared before everyone's eyes!
The River of Time!
"What...what's going on?"
Sun Wukong was completely dumbfounded.
This illusion is so realistic!
It was so real that he could even feel the Daoist charm and power of law emanating from the two giants' every move!
Little did they know that just as this illusion reached its peak, the five members of the Journey to the West team were carrying immeasurable fortune for the journey.
It is being quietly drawn by an unseen force, transforming into a pebble thrown into the river of time, stirring up the winds and clouds.
In an instant, the heavens changed, and calamity surged into the sky!
Sun Wukong felt a sense of unease, as if some great terror was about to befall him.
The monk was so frightened that he turned pale and trembled all over, almost falling off his horse.
Right now!
"Snap—"
With a crisp sound, the illusion before my eyes shattered inch by inch, like a mirror.
Then, something even more unbelievable happened!
