Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 46 - 46 46 The Great Emperor's Wrath

46: Chapter 46: The Great Emperor’s Wrath 46: Chapter 46: The Great Emperor’s Wrath Sun Wukong’s lips slightly turned up, revealing a smile.

But it quickly turned into worry.

As soon as the Ox Demon King appeared, he was overwhelmed.

The Buddha of the East, Maitreya Buddha, arrived with Manjushri and Samantabhadra, two Great Bodhisattvas, and five hundred Arhats, intercepting the Great Saint of the Demon Clan, the Ox Demon King.

No matter how high the Ox Demon King’s mana soared, he was blocked and could only keep charging.

By now, at least sixty percent of the Buddhist Sect’s power was attacking them.

“Since the Great Immortal has come, why not show yourself?”

Amitabha Buddha said softly, his entire body radiating with Buddha’s Light.

Immortal Zhenyuan, holding the Earth Scripture, appeared and smiled faintly, saying, “I have long heard of Amitabha Buddha’s boundless magical power, and have come today to seek instruction.”

Amitabha Buddha pressed his hands together and shook his head, saying, “With the Great Immortal’s status, there really is no need to get involved.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the Great Immortal.”

Immortal Zhenyuan smiled faintly, an otherworldly aura about him, indescribably transcendent.

“If today I turn a blind eye to my sworn brother being attacked by the Buddhist Sect, wouldn’t that make all immortals in the world scoff at me?

Does Amitabha Buddha think everyone has as thick a skin as you?”

These words were quite impolite, leaving no face for Amitabha Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha’s expression did not change in the slightest; he smiled faintly and said, “In that case, Great Immortal, please make your move.”

Immortal Zhenyuan waved his hand, Sleeve Universe.

He actually intended to capture Amitabha Buddha inside it.

Amitabha Buddha’s body was brimming with radiant Buddha’s Light.

He was unable to pinch the Vajra Mudra, instead blocking the attack from the Sleeve Universe.

Then, a Lotus Platform appeared, emanating nine-colored radiance, enveloping Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan smiled faintly, and opened the Earth Scripture, putting up a defense.

Their mana collided, creating cracks in the void and overflowing with Chaos Qi, only to be suppressed back.

They tested each other a few times, both with extremely calm expressions.

But everyone could feel the titanic power struggle between them.

Even a Great Bodhisattva entering their range of attack would be severely injured instantly.

The entire Buddhist Realm of the West plunged into a great battle.

Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

Gold Star Taibai returned hurriedly with three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers; he was panicked and rushed directly into the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

Great Emperor Ziwei frowned slightly, displeased,

“What is the meaning of this?

Why such panic?

Where is Marshal Tianpeng?”

Great Emperor Ziwei looked around and not seeing Zhu Bajie, his expression darkened immediately.

Gold Star Taibai, with a face full of sorrow and anger, knelt in the great hall and angrily said, “Responding to Great Emperor Ziwei, by Your Majesty’s command, I accompanied Marshal Tianpeng to the Buddhist Realm to capture Lord Boxun.

However, we encountered obstruction from the people of the Buddhist Sect.

Now Marshal Tianpeng, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Immortal Master Erlang, and Great God of the Three Altars of the Ocean Nezha are being besieged by Amitabha Buddha and the Buddhist Sect’s forces in Trayastrimsa Heaven, in imminent danger.”

At these words, shock filled the room.

Great Emperor Ziwei rose abruptly, slamming his hand on the table, and bellowed, “How audacious, the Buddhist Realm dares!”

He was very furious.

Even though Immortal Master Erlang and Sun Wukong had once rejected his overtures, not accepting his offer of alliance,

they were still people of the Heavenly Court.

Great Emperor Ziwei, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, issued a decree to eliminate demons, yet the Buddhist Realm sent people to obstruct and besiege his forces.

Now they dared to openly besiege them—did the Buddhist Realm truly think that without Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor, there was no one who could check them?

“I will go there myself.”

Great Emperor Ziwei said coldly.

He actually intended to lead the expedition himself.

The gods were shaken, and Li Jing even stepped forward, saying, “Why should Your Majesty personally go to battle?

I am willing to lead troops to the Buddhist Realm to rescue Marshal Tianpeng and the others.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Great Emperor Ziwei said, “There’s no need; I will go to hold the Buddhist Sect accountable.

Do you have the courage and means to do this?”

Li Jing swallowed hard; honestly, he did not.

“Taibai.”

“Your subordinate is here.”

Gold Star Taibai hurriedly stepped forward.

“Inform the other Three Great Emperors at once, and also report to Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate, Elder Lord, and Lingbao Dao Venerate.”

“Yes.”

Gold Star Taibai showed a look of joy.

“Your Majesty, please wait for me to gather the troops, and we will set off together.”

Li Jing said.

Giving Li Jing a glance, Great Emperor Ziwei said indifferently, “No need, I alone am sufficient.”

As his voice fell, Great Emperor Ziwei took a step forward and vanished before the gathering of gods.

Li Jing and the others looked at each other in shock.

The fact that the emperor himself took action showed the extent of his fury.

Grinding his teeth, Li Jing began to gather the troops, preparing to dispatch them to the Western Continent.

If the Buddhist Realm was too excessive and dared to confront the Great Emperor, he would have no choice but to wage war against the Buddhist Sect.

Whose side he was truly on, Li Jing was very clear about that.

Meanwhile, Gold Star Taibai also began to send out messages.

As for The Three Pure Ones, he went there in person.

The Three Pure Ones held exalted status, known as the supreme deities, their position even above that of the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor.

He certainly did not dare to show the slightest delay.

In the Buddhist Realm of the West, Great Emperor Ziwei made a personal appearance.

Lingji Bodhisattva stopped Great Emperor Ziwei, questioning him, “Who are you, divine being, daring to intrude upon our holy Buddhist land?”

Great Emperor Ziwei glanced at him, showing no intention of responding.

Lingji Bodhisattva’s expression darkened; his Flying Dragon Staff was summoned, transforming into a golden dragon that lunged directly at Great Emperor Ziwei.

It was then that Great Emperor Ziwei halted, grasping the golden dragon with one hand as purple qi surged in his palm.

The golden dragon shattered instantly, following which he let out a cold snort, a tremendous majesty emerging and enveloping Lingji Bodhisattva.

Lingji Bodhisattva trembled all over, involuntarily stepping back several paces.

Cracks appeared all over his body, nearly exploding.

Lingji Bodhisattva’s face was filled with shock.

Who was this being?

The Flying Dragon Staff was a treasured gift from Tathagata Buddha.

Great Emperor Ziwei did not even spare him a glance, heading straight towards Trayastrimsa Heaven.

The battle raged fiercely here, Immortal Zhenyuan seethed with mana, having reached his limit.

He and Amitabha Buddha collided hundreds of times, neither able to determine a victor.

Immortal Zhenyuan knew in his heart that if things continued this way, his chances of losing were greater.

Amitabha Buddha was immortal across myriad calamities; Immortal Zhenyuan couldn’t outlast him.

Amitabha Buddha knew this as well and said with a faint smile, “Immortal Zhenyuan, if you leave now, you can still save your life.

If you dare stay here, you will undoubtedly die.”

Immortal Zhenyuan replied with a faint smile, calmly stating, “What does it matter, to live or to die?

If one cannot do as one pleases, mere clinging to life has no meaning.”

“Since that is the case, this humble monk will send the Great Immortal on his way.”

Amitabha Buddha’s eyes turned cold.

Of course, he wasn’t actually discovering his conscience, intending to let Immortal Zhenyuan go free.

Given Immortal Zhenyuan’s strength, even with his immortal body, Amitabha Buddha knew that slaying Immortal Zhenyuan would greatly damage him as well.

He saw this as a pyrrhic victory.

“Humph, you think you can kill my elder brother with just you?”

Sun Wukong said harshly.

With one strike, he sent Vajra Indestructible Buddha flying, his golden body tattered.

Then, breaking through the barrier set by Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and others, he charged forward to face Amitabha Buddha.

“You have an immortal body, I, Old Sun, have one too.

Today, we shall see who can truly kill who.”

Sun Wukong grinned fiercely, his body covered in the blood of various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, his rage bathed in blood.

He took Immortal Zhenyuan’s place and launched his attack on Amitabha Buddha.
