Chapter 51 The Battle Concludes
The two top battle immortals of the Three Realms finally came face to face, their powerful auras intertwining in the void, creating winds and waves with lightning suddenly appearing in the sky. Nearby, immortal gods and demons alike held their breath and watched intently, focused on the battle of the highest caliber in the Three Realms.
In the blink of an eye, the two combatants clashed together, the meeting of the Jingu Bang and the Three-pointed Double-edged Sword creating a thunderous roar that echoed through heaven and earth, causing those with weaker cultivation to cover their ears involuntarily.
As soon as they engaged, both fighters' eyes brightened; these were worthy opponents. For warriors like them, nothing could be more exhilarating than a match against an equally matched adversary.
"Good!" Yang Jian burst into hearty laughter, his hands never slackening. His Three-pointed Double-edged Sword moved as if it were part of his own body, continuously striking at the Monkey.
The Monkey, unwilling to show weakness, swung the Jingu Bang with such force that each move seemed as though Mount Tai was bearing down.
At the height of the battle, both wielded the Law of Heaven and Earth, and two towering giants instantly appeared between heaven and earth.
This spectacle was witnessed by all in the Three Realms, causing a massive uproar. Since the Divine Enthronement, there hadn't been a battle of this magnitude in the Three Realms.
Many born later simply could not comprehend the level of their strength; the sight of their immense power piercing through heaven and earth was truly terrifying. They did not know who these two mighty beings were, the battle exceeding the limits of their understanding.
"Is this truly the pinnacle of power in the Three Realms, the genuine Law of Heaven and Earth?" Those who knew of such Divine Skills naturally recognized them, but in their memory, weren't such manifestations of the Law of Heaven and Earth supposed to be only a hundred feet tall giants? Never had there been such a heaven-reaching sight.
"The one wielding the Three-pointed Double-edged Sword must be Yang Jian, also known as the True Monarch Revealing the Sacred, or Pure Origin Mysterious Way True Monarch.
Since the battle of Divine Enthronement, this True Monarch hasn't been seen in action; now, his prowess certainly lives up to the name of the War God." Of course, those who survived the battle of Divine Enthronement naturally recognized this famed War God.
"And who is this Monkey who matches him blow for blow? When did such a Great Spiritual Practitioner appear in the Three Realms?" The Monkey had entered the scene late and rose quickly, with many still unaware of his name. However, through this battle, the Monkey's title as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven truly spread throughout the Three Realms, establishing his formidable reputation.
At this moment, Yang Jian and the Monkey paid no mind to the shock of all the beings in the Three Realms; they only had eyes for each other. The two giants that pierced through heaven and earth stirred up gales with their movements, which only began to abate after traveling ninety thousand li.
Lu Yu, feeling the cool breeze coming from afar, marveled at the sight of the two fighters. Even from tens of thousands of li away, he could clearly see them battling, recognizing that with these two, the Law of Heaven and Earth was indeed a Great Divine Power between heaven and earth.
The roar of the battle reached him from the distance, like the rolling thunder of Heavenly Thunder, the clashes reverberating through heaven and earth. Lu Yu stared intently at the battle; such a rare level of combat was not to be missed for even a moment.
The Big Black Donkey lay on the ground, hooves over his head, hugging his head tightly, and cried out in horror, "It's over, it's over, is the sky falling?"
People in the mortal realm, startled by such a display, prayed ceaselessly to the Buddhas in the sky, not knowing what was unfolding, with fear taking root in their hearts.
A massive Barrier appeared on the land, encompassing most of Eastern Shengzhou and a portion of Southern Zhanzhou, supported by nine Qi Pillars. The vast surges of air and tremors that approached the Barrier were eradicated as if they had never existed. The creatures within the Barrier felt nothing at all.
"Is this the Nine Tripod Barrier set by Emperor Yu? It's difficult to believe that the land of Kyushu will become the grand domain where the Human Path thrives. These Nine Tripods draw their energy from the Fortune and Destiny of the Human Path, becoming stronger as the Human Path grows stronger.
Our human race's legendary heroes were truly extraordinary," Lu Yu marvelled at the strength of the Nine Tripod Barrier while soothing the agitated Sword of state, which was particularly lively, being of the same origin.
"When there's time, I must truly explore the scenery of Kyushu!" For some reason, such a thought popped into Lu Yu's mind.
At that moment, rays of light suddenly gleamed in Huaguo Mountain. The high mountains and great lands were infused with the Power of Incense and Fire. These were blessings from the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods, strengthening the mountains and lands to prevent them from shattering under the impact of the fight between the two.
"No wonder there haven't been any Great Spiritual Practitioners making their move after the Divine Enthronement; the heavens and earth simply cannot withstand the battles of such beings." Lu Yu watched the world, trembling and almost collapsing under the aftershocks of the fight between Monkey and Yang Jian, and mused.
He suddenly had a thought that perhaps a world without Immortal Gods might indeed be the best for the human race.
The battle between the giants continued. One wielded the power of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, the other the Vajra Indestructible Body. The Three Realms were unstable amidst the battle, but with the appearance of these tactics, there was no longer a danger of the heavens and earth collapsing.
Monkey and Yang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. When the heavens and earth trembled earlier, they, too, had been worried, for this entailed the well-being of all creatures of the Three Realms. If their fight were to destroy this world, not even death a hundred times over could atone for their sins.
Now that the heavens and earth had calmed, the two were ready to display all their skills. Suddenly, an even more formidable aura than before arose, with fierce winds sweeping and huge waves crashing, hidden creatures within thousands of miles cowering, fearful of becoming collateral damage.
The fight lasted a full day and night, with both sides getting stronger and braver by the moment. Suddenly, Yang Jian shouted, and his body was enveloped in the Five Qi, which seemed to be coalescing into one, returning to the state of Chaos.
Monkey was taken aback and understood that Yang Jian had found his opportunity, now touching the threshold of transforming the Five Qi into primordial essence. Envious at heart, his will to fight waned, and the thought of retreat arose.
Afterward, the two began to employ various transformations, but ultimately, Monkey was captured by the sneak attack of the Vajra Bracelet.
Marshal Ma, seeing his Great King captured, knew the situation was unrecoverable and had long since hidden the monkeys behind the Water Curtain.
Juling Shen, Invigorated as if with strides that could cover leagues, headed towards Huaguo Mountain. Since his humiliating defeat by Monkey, earning him the nickname of 'pustule' and being the laughing stock of the Heavenly Court, resentment had festered in his heart.
However, not daring to provoke the powerful Monkey, he seized the chance to exact his revenge upon sight of Monkey's capture, naturally wanting to retaliate against Monkey's offspring on Huaguo Mountain.
But hardly had he arrived at the foot of Huaguo Mountain when a group of Grassroot Gods blocked his path.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I am Juling Shen, Divine General under Devaraja. Who dares to block my way?" Juling Shen glared furiously.
"So you are the 'pustule.' The Demon Monkey was captured by our True Monarch. Naturally, it should be our responsibility to clean up Huaguo Mountain. Are you trying to compete for credit here?" The Six Brothers of Meishan, already armed and stepping forward, would never allow Juling Shen to enter. If any of the little monkeys were injured, they would lose face.
