Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

When it rains, it pours!

This is the current mood of the Evil Corpse. Being trapped in the Taiji Micro Dust Formation by the combined forces of the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord was already a very dangerous situation, yet now, they are struck by a Heavenly Punishment? All attributes decreased by 50%?

The Evil Corpse is naturally not unfamiliar with Heavenly Punishment; in the past, the true self also suffered a Heavenly Punishment, being stuck with a level decrease of 10.

Of course, although the attribute decrease from the Heavenly Punishment is terrifying, what truly shocks the Evil Corpse is the significance of this event.

Just after swearing that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was not on their body, they were struck by a Heavenly Punishment?

The meaning of this is self-evident.

"The Hongmeng Purple Qi is on me!?" The Evil Corpse felt an incomparable shock and at the same time, their eyes under the Shadow Robe turned towards Jiang Liu.

Disregarding the gaze from the Evil Corpse, Jiang Liu was also extremely shocked at this moment.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi is on me? How is this possible? I haven't discovered anything at all!?

"I've never obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi! Could it be? Is there an error with the Heavenly Dao?" Being completely bewildered, Jiang Liu felt a blankness in his consciousness, secretly murmuring in the heart.

Not only Jiang Liu felt a blankness in his mind, but at this moment, everyone in Gale Gorge looked incredulously at the mysterious person in black.

At this critical juncture, the mysterious person in black was struck by the Heavenly Punishment. What does this imply? Naturally, these people understand.

But precisely because they understand, each one was dumbfounded.

"It actually, actually is true? The Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed on him!" The Jade Emperor's eyes widened, and gazing at the Evil Corpse, he murmured to himself with glittering eyes.

Originally, for the Jade Emperor, the rumor that the mysterious person possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi was merely hearsay. Whether it was true or not? The Jade Emperor was half-convinced.

Yet unexpectedly, has this matter been confirmed just like this?

"Unbelievable, what is going on…" The Supreme Elder Lord held the Vajra Bracelet in his hand, staring dumbfoundedly at the mysterious person in black.

On one hand, he was shocked that the Hongmeng Purple Qi indeed was in his possession. On the other hand, the Supreme Elder Lord's heart was filled with doubt.

Clearly, the Evil Corpse possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so why did they still choose this critical moment to swear?

With the Heavenly Punishment falling upon them, isn't it even more impossible for them to escape?

"Could it be…" Amidst his confusion, the Supreme Elder Lord's mind quickly figured it out.

"Your Majesty, act quickly!" Believing he understood the mysterious person's intentions, the Supreme Elder Lord urged the Jade Emperor.

Seeing the Supreme Elder Lord suddenly so urgent, the Jade Emperor somewhat snapped back to reality, glancing at the Supreme Elder Lord with a puzzled look, completely at a loss as to why he was acting this way.

"Your Majesty, now that the Great Dao Thunder Sound has erupted, everyone in the world can know about what happened here!" Seeing the Jade Emperor's confused expression, the Supreme Elder Lord hurriedly explained.

This statement caused the Jade Emperor's expression to change slightly, and he understood.

The Supreme Elder Lord was indeed right, the eruption of the Great Dao Thunder Sound is something that can be perceived by all the great supernatural power experts in the world.

For example, the Great Dao Thunder Sound that occurred when Xuanzang swore had let countless people know about his feelings for Gaoyang.

With the Great Dao Thunder Sound erupting today, and the Heavenly Punishment descending, wouldn't all the Quasi-Saints in the world also understand what happened here?

Initially, the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord, having trapped the mysterious person in black, were not in a hurry to act, since there was no way for him to escape, and the events here would not be known to other Quasi-Saints in a short time.

But with the Great Dao Thunder Sound, the significance is entirely different.

"So, he knew he could not escape and deliberately swore an oath, making himself suffer Heavenly Punishment to attract many Quasi-Saints to contend for it, creating chaos to find a chance to escape?" At this moment, the Jade Emperor also "guessed" the purpose of the mysterious person's oath, murmuring secretly in his heart.

Turning his thoughts, the Jade Emperor didn't waste any words, wielding the Golden Divine Sword, he swung it fiercely towards the mysterious person in black.

Similarly, the Supreme Elder Lord showed no intention of wasting words, lifting the Vajra Bracelet, and threw it towards the mysterious person in black.

The moment they both acted, the Taiji Micro Dust Formation consisting of one hundred and eight Heavenly Generals also commenced its operation.

Facing these attacks, the Evil Corpse forced himself to fortify his Golden Body, unfurling the Tai Chi Diagram to put up a defense to protect himself.

Although suffering from the Heavenly Punishment with all attributes decreased by 50%, fortunately, this only affected the Evil Corpse's body, and the Tai Chi Diagram's defense would not be weakened.

Using the Tai Chi Diagram to protect himself, while not completely blocking these attacks, it managed to fend off most of them.

The Health Bar above the Evil Corpse's head declined slowly, indicating that it could last for another dozen minutes without a problem!

"Terrifying! Even with the Tai Chi Diagram's 1 billion defense, it can only protect him for about ten minutes!?" Jiang Liu murmured to himself as he calculated the rate at which the Evil Corpse's health bar was decreasing.

After a brief contemplation, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Witch-Slaying Sword appeared in it.

Without any superfluous words, Jiang Liu cast a Strengthening Body-Protection Spell towards the Evil Corpse to enhance its defensive power as much as possible.

"Xuanzang!? You actually intervened to help him!?" Seeing Jiang Liu make a move, and realizing that his intention was to assist the mysterious man in black, the Jade Emperor turned around with a furious expression and shouted.

Firstly, the affair in Fengxian County had already severely hurt the Jade Emperor's face.

Secondly, the matter with Jiang Ziya had almost embarrassed the Jade Emperor too.

Now, for the sake of vying for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Jiang Liu acted to help the mysterious man in black once again.

Adding up all these events, it's no wonder that the Jade Emperor was extremely angry.

In the past, due to the issue with Gaoyang, the world knew of the conflict between Xuanzang and the mysterious man in black. To the Jade Emperor, it seemed unlikely that Xuanzang would help him.

"Bald donkey Xuanzang, I don't need your help!" Before Jiang Liu could respond to the Jade Emperor's rebuke, the mysterious man in black shouted at Jiang Liu, clearly ungrateful.

"Amitabha, this humble monk has no intention to help you. It's just that you have now encountered Heavenly Punishment, and I'm quite interested in the Hongmeng Purple Qi you possess!" Jiang Liu replied without showing any anger at the words of the mysterious man in black.

His reply made the Jade Emperor realize why Jiang Liu had intervened.

So, he too wanted to contest the Hongmeng Purple Qi?

"In just a few short years, Xuanzang's cultivation level has reached the late stage of Great Luo. With his capabilities, it is quite possible for him to enter the Quasi-Saint Realm in a few years! It's understandable for him to contend for the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Even the Supreme Elder Lord turned his head slightly to glance at Jiang Liu, murmuring to himself.

Indeed, with a treasure like the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it's not surprising even for brothers to turn against each other or for married couples to fight!

It's not unusual for Xuanzang to make a move to seize it.

Yes, earlier, seeing the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord join forces against the Evil Corpse, Jiang Liu really had no reason to intervene and could only watch.

But now, since it was confirmed that the Evil Corpse possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it made sense for him to make a move to seize it.

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Liu's figure moved, heading directly towards the center of the Taiji Micro Dust Formation.

The Taiji Micro Dust Formation is an ancient great formation, and when operated by 108 Heavenly Generals, its power is sufficient to threaten a strong person at the Quasi-Saint level.

Seeing Jiang Liu rushing in, the Jade Emperor did not intend to stop him and let him charge straight in.

Once Jiang Liu entered, the operation of the Taiji Micro Dust Formation included him within its range of attack, and intangible material attacks pressed towards Jiang Liu.

Feeling the powerful attack pressing in, Jiang Liu naturally supported the defense with his Green Lotus Buddha Robe.

With a defense value of 1 billion, although it couldn't withstand the Jade Emperor's attack enhanced with the force of destiny, it was sufficient to withstand the Taiji Micro Dust Formation.

At the same time, using the Green Lotus Buddha Robe to protect himself, Jiang Liu charged towards the Evil Corpse.

The Witch-Slaying Sword descended, clearly intending to seize the Evil Corpse before the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord.

Facing Jiang Liu's attack, the Evil Corpse also didn't say unnecessary words, but its Tai Chi Diagram was raised to withstand Jiang Liu's attack with a defense value of 1 billion.

With a swoosh!

The sword fell, slashing a huge gash through the Shadow Robe, revealing a wound so deep that bone was visible on top of the injury, and its health point significantly decreased.

"How is this possible!? The Tai Chi Diagram's defense is completely ineffective!?" Seeing the Tai Chi Diagram unable to block Jiang Liu's sword, both the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord were stunned, almost unable to believe their eyes.

The Tai Chi Diagram is such a treasure, and having battled for so long, they knew its defensive power very well!

"This sword looks so familiar!" Amidst the shock, the Supreme Elder Lord's gaze fell on the Witch-Slaying Sword, murmuring to himself.

With Xuanzang's cultivation level, it was naturally impossible to disregard the Tai Chi Diagram's defense; it must be due to some divine skills or a powerful Dharma treasure.

"Isn't this the Witch-Slaying Sword that the Demon Clan used to counter the physical bodies of the Witch Clan!?" The Jade Emperor's gaze also fell on the Witch-Slaying Sword in Jiang Liu's hand. After looking carefully, he apparently recognized it and couldn't help but exclaim.

"The Witch-Slaying Sword!? No wonder! This is indeed a peerless murderous weapon! It's even more terrifying than treasures like the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Godslaying Spear!" Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, the Supreme Elder Lord also recognized the Witch-Slaying Sword and understood.

Back when the Six Saints had not yet attained saintliness, the Witch and Demon Clans dominated the world. Even they dared not directly confront the two clans' momentum, which shows that the Witch-Slaying Sword was once hailed as the number one murderous weapon in the world!
