Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

In the east, the Shengshenzhou Continent, in the south, the Shanbu Continent, in the west, the Niuhe State, and finally, Jiang Liu arrived at the northern Julu Continent...

Compared to the other three major continents, the people of the northern Julu Continent are more fierce.

Of course, it should also be due to environmental factors. Compared to the other three major continents, this northern Julu Continent is filled with countless demons, evil spirits, ghosts, and monsters, so the people of Julu Continent must also be fierce to survive.

Within this Julu Continent, there are also some Human Clan nations, giving the sense that everyone is a soldier.

Some are mounted archery nations, living on the steppes; others are proficient in sorcery and sorcery insects, residing in treacherous mountain areas.

Having visited two countries in succession, although these two countries didn't take the so-called Great Tang to heart, considering Jiang Liu's identity as the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, the kings of these two countries still expressed allegiance.

In the eyes of these two kings, the Great Tang is far away, even if they verbally express allegiance, trying to control their affairs is beyond reach, after all, one is in the South Zhanbu State, and the other in the North Julu State, too far apart.

But if they refuse today, then if the Sandalwood Merit Buddha takes action, it's not something they can resist.

No matter whether the allegiance expressed by the Kings of the North Julu Continent is sincere or false, as long as they are willing to express allegiance, that is enough.

After leaving, Jiang Liu continued to fly northward.

About two Chinese hours later, Jiang Liu arrived at another place, the Elai Country.

Under the brilliance of Buddhist Light, naturally, it attracted the attention of countless people in Elai Country, with the King at the forefront, many people came out.

Bathing in a brilliant Buddhist Light, Jiang Liu slowly descended. Looking at the King of Elai Country, Jiang Liu's brow slightly furrowed.

In this Elai Country, from the King down, many guards and officials, although they appear in the form of the Human Clan, their faces look hideous and terrifying, quite different from the Human Clan.

"It turns out that the people of this Elai Country, from the top down, will plant sorcery insects into themselves, forming a parasitic relationship, humans can possess the power to resist demons, while the sorcery insects absorb human nutrients..."

After all, with a cultivation level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage, Jiang Liu could understand what was going on by looking at the people of Elai Country, silently murmuring in his heart.

"Who are you?" The King of Elai Country stood in front of Jiang Liu, looking at the descending Jiang Liu and asking, with a tone of neither servility nor arrogance.

"I am the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, also an Envoy of Great Tang!" Jiang Liu spoke, still revealing his dual identity.

"Buddha? Envoy of Great Tang? Then what brings you here to us?" After tilting his head slightly and sizing up Jiang Liu for a moment, the King followed up with a question.

"I came with the Imperial Decree from the Emperor of Great Tang, please accept the decree!" Jiang Liu said without nonsense, taking out the decree and tossing it to the King in front of him.

With a snapping sound!

Just looking at the decree thrown by Jiang Liu, the King showed no intention of catching it, letting the decree fall directly to the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Liu couldn't help but gently frown.

"Accept the decree? Heh heh heh? Great Tang? This king has never heard of it, and they actually want this king to accept the decree?"

With a mocking sneer on his face, the King spoke, raising his hand with a wave, and said: "Come, cook him up for me first! With such fine and tender skin, he must taste absolutely delicious!"

With the King's words, some guards around swiftly moved, rushing towards Jiang Liu.

Witnessing this, Jiang Liu raised his hand and gently waved it, directly sending the guards rushing towards him flying away.

Staring coldly at the King before him, he said: "You actually eat human flesh?"

"Heh heh heh, when food is scarce, let alone human flesh, even one's own wife can be eaten, especially a newborn baby, that's truly..." hearing this, the King laughed out loud, showing a look of shameless pride, and by the end, even saliva couldn't help but trickle down.

"Sigh..." After hearing the King's response and seeing these people with ugly and ferocious appearances, Jiang Liu internally sighed softly.

With the Human Clan being weak and living in this North Julu State, Jiang Liu could understand that these humans use some means to survive.

But hearing the King's words, they actually eat human flesh, even including their own wives as food, this has completely touched Jiang Liu's bottom line in his heart.

Cannibal Tribe? Even those legendary Cannibal Tribes don't have the notion of eating their own wives and children, do they?

"Alright, no wonder you refuse to accept the decree!"

After sighing, Jiang Liu's face turned cold, saying: "So, you've lost your humanity, without humanity, you're no longer the Human Clan! My decree logically shouldn't be given to you!"

With that, Jiang Liu's figure rose into the air.

"Trying to escape!?" Seeing Jiang Liu's figure flying into the sky, the people of Elai Country all showed fierce expressions.

Quite a few people have grown wings like those of bats, as well as thin wings like those of insects, flapping them as they pursued Jiang Liu's direction.

However, Jiang Liu paid no attention to their pursuit, completely ignoring them.

Poison needles, sorcery insects, sharp claws...

After these people caught up with Jiang Liu, various attacks continuously emerged, rushing toward Jiang Liu.

Yet, Buddhist light gathered on Jiang Liu's body, and these attacks in front of him could not cause any harm.

In terms of strength, these people were formidable, the strongest among them had even touched the threshold of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

However, not to mention just touching the threshold of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, even if they had achieved being Heavenly Immortals, in Jiang Liu's view, they were just slightly stronger ants.

"A country devoid of humanity, a clan devoid of humanity, and so foolish that it has no reason to exist..."

Jiang Liu looked down upon Elai Country, and wherever his eyes turned, all the citizens were like fierce beasts, shaking his head quietly before the Eighteen-Grade Lotus soared into the sky.

With a thought, a yellowish glow descended from the Eighteen-Grade Lotus.

The conical glow naturally had the Eighteen-Grade Lotus at the top, and as the glow fell, it covered a larger area, enveloping the entire Elai Country.

Rumbling!

As Jiang Liu's mind turned, this yellowish glow transformed into a forceful attack, the entire Elai Country seemed to be baptized by a nuclear bomb.

In the violent shaking and explosion, everything was destroyed.

Life withered, buildings collapsed...

With the cultivation level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage and the divine artifact of the Eighteen-Grade Lotus, destroying a small country is naturally not difficult.

The Eighteen-Grade Lotus, transformed from the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and the Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, grew stronger as cultivation improved.

With Jiang Liu's current cultivation level, harnessing the power of the Eighteen-Grade Lotus was enough to touch the threshold of the Quasi-Saint Level.

This attack akin to nuclear baptism lasted for about the time it takes to burn half an incense.

During this half incense time, continuous system prompts sounded in Jiang Liu's mind, indicating the gain of Experience Points and money.

Although the people of Elai Country had varied strengths and their Experience Points were not substantial, their numbers were vast.

After half incense time passed, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Eighteen-Grade Lotus in midair returned to his hand. Looking around, Elai Country had been completely destroyed, not even a single complete building remained.

Glancing at his character page, well, after destroying a country, the Experience Points gained were indeed substantial, amounting to four or five hundred million.

"With a mere gesture, I've slaughtered tens of thousands of souls? Since when did I become so indifferent to slaughter?" Looking down from high above, witnessing the devastation he caused to a country, Jiang Liu murmured to himself reflectively.

Although he felt his actions were indeed cruel, upon careful consideration, Jiang Liu felt no regret.

If given the chance again, he imagined he would still choose to destroy Elai Country.

"People change, hearts change; perhaps the people of Elai Country initially sought survival, but as generations passed, their hearts became entirely transformed..." After pondering for a while, Jiang Liu shook his head internally, suppressing these thoughts in his mind.

Despite exterminating tens of thousands of souls in one gesture, Jiang Liu's thoughts remained unobstructed, still clear.

After calming his emotions, Jiang Liu proceeded onward, flying into the distance.

The subsequent events unfolded quite smoothly.

The people of North Julu State are fierce, but the act of Jiang Liu personally destroying a country allowed the people of North Julu State to witness Jiang Liu's might firsthand.

Thus, although there were slight complications in North Julu State, within just a few days, all the kings of North Julu State had been dealt with.

Jiang Liu raised his hand, and a map appeared in it.

This map was marked by Jiang Liu after visiting each country, noting all those who agreed to go to Chang'an City by Mid-Autumn night.

With matters settled, he considered there were only about ten days left until Mid-Autumn, Jiang Liu's body moved, and amidst radiant Buddhist light, he personally arrived at the Flame Cloud Entertainment City, reaching the Ming Sect.

Jiang Liu's arrival was bold, without any intention of hiding himself, thus many Immortals and Buddhas and demons playing in Flame Cloud Entertainment City were aware of Jiang Liu's whereabouts.

"Today, I hope Ming Sect can assist me with a task..." Arriving at Flame Cloud Entertainment City, Jiang Liu met Gaoyang and spoke directly.
