Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 36 - 36 36 Kunpeng Launches Another Surprise Attack

36: Chapter 36: Kunpeng Launches Another Surprise Attack 36: Chapter 36: Kunpeng Launches Another Surprise Attack Above the East Sea Eye, the Bodhisattva Guanyin and others were purifying Resentful Spirits.

As the number of Resentful Spirits diminished, they knew that Sun Wukong was about to succeed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

A black light emerged, striking towards the East Sea Eye.

The force of that power was immensely strong, definitely an attack launched by a being who had stepped into the realm of a Great Heavenly Venerate.

Ao Guang and his companions were furious, their eyes nearly splitting as they glared at the aggressor.

They wanted to take action, to stop the other party, but it was already too late.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin’s luminous white jade hand struck out, Buddha’s light boundless, blocking the front.

But, the black light still repelled her interception and continued downwards.

The many powerful beings of the Dragon Clan, along with the Bodhisattva Guanyin and the others, had a drastic change in expression.

The black light had been greatly diminished by the Bodhisattva’s strike, but it was still not weaker than the full-force blow of a top-tier Celestial Immortal.

Once it descended, Sun Wukong, who was in the midst of repairing the seal, was very likely to be affected.

No one knew the situation of the East Sea Eye; just that pressure alone, few in the Three Realms could withstand it.

“Kunpeng.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin rarely roared in anger.

Kunpeng had the Roc Demon King launch a sneak attack on Lady Dragon of Wealth, nearly killing her.

Now, it had launched a sneak attack on Sun Wukong, who was repairing the seal.

This Kunpeng truly deserved to be executed.

She pursued, her wisdom eyes surveying the Three Realms, seeking to find traces of Kunpeng.

However, all she saw was a black light fading quickly, eventually disappearing completely, even beyond her detection.

Although the Bodhisattva Guanyin was angry, she was also helpless.

This ancient being who had survived from primordial times, apart from anything else, surely had first-class means of preserving their life.

Moreover, Kunpeng possessed extreme speed, and normal people simply couldn’t catch up.

When the Bodhisattva returned to the East Sea, Ao Guang couldn’t help but ask, “Bodhisattva, what happened?”

“It got away.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin was quite frustrated.

Ao Guang, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that it got away.

With Kunpeng’s strength, even if we caught up to it, it’s impossible to capture, for it is a true Great Heavenly Venerate.”

Here, Great Heavenly Venerate was no longer a title, but a display of strength.

Just like the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerate, and The Three Pure Ones are all Great Heavenly Venerates.

The gap between those who have just entered the realm of a Heavenly Venerate and Great Heavenly Venerates is still quite evident.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin snorted coldly and said, “It’s a pity Kunpeng escaped so quickly.

If it had been captured, with Wukong emerging from the Sea Eye and joining forces with me, we might have taken it down.”

This was, indeed, a possibility.

The combat power of Sun Wukong was something that all had witnessed.

Ao Guang dared to face the Roc Demon King.

But if he were to have a one-on-one duel with Sun Wukong, he was absolutely unwilling.

For it was impossible for him to be Sun Wukong’s opponent.

Some beings are born to be Victorious Fighting Sages, and Sun Wukong is one such person.

Within the same realm, such a Victorious Fighting Sage would typically be invincible.

Boom.

A figure burst forth, radiating an immense killing intent.

Sun Wukong’s golden eyes swept the surroundings as he searched for traces of Kunpeng.

The recent sneak attack from Kunpeng had nearly caused him to be plunged into the Sea Eye.

His heart thundered with rage, and his hatred for Kunpeng reached an extreme.

“Kunpeng has already escaped.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin stated.

“Sooner or later, I’ll butcher this beast.”

Sun Wukong said coldly.

His expression lightened slightly as he spoke to Ao Guang, “Dragon King, thankfully I have not dishonored your trust.

The Sea Eye seal has been restored.

The Dragon Clan must take heed not to let anyone break through the Sea Eye again.”

Ao Guang’s expression turned serious, and he said, “Great Saint, rest assured, it will absolutely not happen again.”

The corners of Sun Wukong’s mouth suddenly turned up, and he asked with a smile, “Old Sun has helped you with such a big favor, Dragon King, how do you plan to thank me?”

Ao Guang was no pushover either.

He chuckled and replied, “I have heard that my young daughter was once promised to the Great Saint by the Bodhisattva.

How about today I take charge and solidify the arrangement between my daughter and the Great Saint once and for all?”

Lady Dragon of Wealth immediately blushed deeply.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, unable to suppress a laugh.

“Ao Guang, I treat you as a brother, yet you wish to be Old Sun’s father-in-law, what a fine idea you’ve got there, you slippery eel.”

Ao Guang let out a dry laugh.

He indeed harbored such intentions.

If the Dragon Girl were to marry Sun Wukong, they would gain a powerful protector.

With Sun Wukong’s reputation and combat power, even if the Three Realms were in chaos, anyone who wanted to make a move against the Dragon Clan would have to think twice.

The Wealth Dragon Maiden’s face remained flushed as she shyly scolded her father, “Father King, do not speak nonsense.”

Seeing Sun Wukong appear noncommittal, Ao Guang realized that he had indeed been a bit too abrupt in proposing this matter.

He thought for a moment and said, “Right now the Dragon Palace has suffered heavy casualties.

Once I have dealt with the Dragon Palace’s matters, I will surely prepare a proper token of gratitude and visit Huaguo Mountain to express my thanks.”

Who knew Sun Wukong would shake his head and say, “Enough, Old Sun was just jesting with you.

There is no need for thanks; we are neighbors after all and should look out for each other.

Dragon King, go take care of your affairs.”

“Thank you, Great Saint.”

Having said this, Ao Guang turned to the Bodhisattva Guanyin and Immortal Lu Dongbin, “Bodhisattva, Immortal Lu Dongbin, please forgive Ao Guang for not being able to entertain the two of you.”

“It is of no consequence.

Dragon King, attend to your own matters.

We have not been of much help here anyway.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin said with a hint of regret.

“Indeed, the Dragon King should focus on the pressing affairs.”

Lu Dongbin also added.

He had never had much affection for the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

But today, his views on the Dragon Clan had completely changed.

If it weren’t for the Dragon Clan guarding the Sea Eye, preventing those evil creatures from escaping, they could have been the strongest race between heaven and earth with their power.

But in order to safeguard the seal of the Sea Eye, the Dragon Clan concealed their strength and were even thought of as weak by the many gods and Buddhas.

Realizing this, Lu Dongbin suddenly felt that heaven’s gods and Buddhas were quite laughable.

The so-called peace and prosperity of the Three Realms was merely because someone was shouldering a heavy burden.

The Dragon King excused himself to deal with the aftermath.

Sun Wukong and the others also departed.

The Wealth Dragon Maiden was taken away by the Bodhisattva.

She had been revived from death, sustaining damage to her vital energy, and needed recuperation, or it would affect her future cultivation.

“Wukong, you must be careful.

Although I do not know why, I have a feeling that Kunpeng has his eyes on you and is intent on killing you,” the Bodhisattva Guanyin cautioned.

Sun Wukong nodded and said solemnly, “Old Sun understands, Bodhisattva also take care.

If Amitabha Buddha makes a move against you again, be sure to notify Old Sun, and I will rush over at once.”

“Right.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin gave a slight smile.

They went their separate ways, while Immortal Lu Dongbin bade farewell to Sun Wukong.

“You are leaving?”

Sun Wukong said with some surprise.

Lu Dongbin nodded slightly and said, “As an Immortal who enjoys the incense offerings of the mortal world and only thinks of oneself, I am ashamed.

From today onwards, I will wield my sword across the Three Realms, slaying demons and banishing devils.”

As he spoke, Lu Dongbin’s mana suddenly surged.

His Dao Heart had become transparent, brimming with vitality.

The realm that he hadn’t been able to break through for a long time was also swiftly mastered.

Lu Dongbin felt that he wasn’t far from reaching the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
