Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 70 - 70 70 Ancient War General

70: Chapter 70: Ancient War General 70: Chapter 70: Ancient War General Yinglong stepped forward, stared at the two of them, and asked, “What do you two Bodhisattvas mean by this?”

“The Netherworld has already been reclaimed by our Buddhist Realm.

Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang Qi, please return.”

Manjushri said with a slight smile.

Yinglong was taken aback, then turned to glance at the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor’s expression was placid as he said, “If that is the case, I now request that the people of the Buddhist Realm withdraw.

I am going to take over the Underworld Court on behalf of the Heavenly Court.

After this is completed, I will ask for merit on behalf of you two Bodhisattvas and the Buddhist Realm.”

“Amitabha Buddha, the Heavenly Court is currently in internal turmoil.

The Four Heavenly Kings are fighting openly and covertly for the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate and have already lost the capacity to oversee the Netherworld.

Please forgive us for not being able to comply.”

Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled faintly.

“Do you dare defy the will of Heaven?”

The Yellow Emperor’s gaze grew colder.

Samantabhadra scoffed, “Only the Heavenly Court with the Great Heavenly Venerate alive represents the will of Heaven.

The Heavenly Court now, without the Great Heavenly Venerate, can no longer represent the will of Heaven.”

“Audacious, mere clowns from the Buddhist Realm, thinking to block my grand army from reclaiming the Netherworld, is really courting death.

Step aside for this general.”

Yinglong commanded lightly, a powerful killing intent emanating from his being, as if an ancient and savage deity had reappeared from the vast wilderness of old.

Manjushri and Samantabhadra trembled slightly.

Such a fearsome ancient war commander.

Under the Yellow Emperor, one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals also held a cold gaze.

The Divine General Nu Ba stepped out and said to the Yellow Emperor, “Please give the order, Father Emperor, and let your daughter slay those two monks.”

The Divine General Nu Ba wore a green dress, her beauty unparalleled, her figure graceful, peerless, and vibrant, with an air of valor as well.

Her phoenix eyes were sharp, exuding a decisive and lethal temperament.

“Yinglong, join forces with her to capture Manjushri and Samantabhadra.”

“As commanded.”

Nu Ba stepped forward, pointed at Samantabhadra, and said, “I find him displeasing.

This one shall be dealt with by this princess.”

Yinglong smiled faintly and said, “Then the other is for this lowly general.

Within thirty exchanges, if I cannot capture that monk, consider Yinglong as having lost.”

“I, too, will capture that Samantabhadra within thirty exchanges.”

Nu Ba said nonchalantly.

A hint of a smile appeared on the Yellow Emperor’s face.

He was not worried at all, having considerable confidence in his daughter and his lead general.

From a nearby cloud, Sun Wukong turned to the person beside him and asked, “Brother, how many moves do you think Manjushri and Samantabhadra can withstand?”

Immortal Master Erlang was also hiding here, with no one else accompanying him.

Having learned of the Yellow Emperor’s entrance into the Netherworld, he had secretly followed.

He hadn’t expected to run into Sun Wukong, who was already there.

The two of them hid in the shadows, not revealing themselves.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s question, Immortal Master Erlang thought seriously for a moment before replying, “Although Manjushri and Samantabhadra are Great Bodhisattvas, they are only at the quasi-Heavenly Venerate realm.

Princess Nu Ba and Yinglong are ancient war commanders with exceptional strength.

Even though they have not become Heavenly Venerates, their battlefield tactics are not something Manjushri and Samantabhadra can compare with.”

Immortal Master Erlang favored Nu Ba and Yinglong.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, as he shared the same thought.

“Brother, I saw the Jade Emperor.”

Sun Wukong suddenly said.

Immortal Master Erlang’s expression stiffened, and he was silent.

“He is now in the Immortal Peach Orchard, disguised as a Local Deity.

If you want to vent your anger, this is a good opportunity,” Sun Wukong said with a mischievous smile.

Immortal Master Erlang’s eyes lit up, and he stared at Sun Wukong, asking, “What should we do?”

Sun Wukong whispered in Immortal Master Erlang’s ear for a while.

Immortal Master Erlang’s eyes widened.

Could this really work?

Wasn’t it a bit too rebellious?

Seeing his hesitant appearance, Sun Wukong curled his lip, saying, “If you want to teach him a lesson, this is your chance.

Unless you don’t want to teach him.”

Immortal Master Erlang clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll do it, but you must also promise me one thing.”

“What is it?”

Sun Wukong asked.

Immortal Master Erlang stared at him, his gaze burning, “I dare not act alone, you must join me; otherwise, I absolutely won’t do it.”

Sun Wukong said in annoyance, “You truly live up to being his nephew, no one can take the slightest advantage of you.”

Immortal Master Erlang cracked a slight smile.

After contemplating for a moment, Sun Wukong made his decision.

Gritting his teeth, he said, “I, Old Sun, will handle this.

I’ve been wanting to teach that self-righteous old clapper a lesson.

When the time comes, you restrain him.

Old Sun and Nezha will hide in the shadows and strike at the critical moment, to give that old clapper a harsh lesson.”

“Good.”

Immortal Master Erlang revealed a smile.

The battle on the field had already determined a victor.

Manjusri and Samantabhadra were defeated swiftly, not lasting even thirty rounds.

They were almost simultaneously struck down by Nu Ba and Yinglong, sent flying backward drenched in blood, suffering terrible wounds.

In this battle, they were utterly defeated.

Yinglong sneered, “Mere chickens and dogs, not withstanding a single blow.”

Manjusri and Samantabhadra’s faces turned ashen.

As one of the great Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect, this was the first time they had ever been in such a sorry state.

“Take them down.”

The Yellow Emperor ordered.

Yinglong and Nu Ba were about to make their move.

Just at that moment, a speck of light emerged, gradually illuminating the surroundings, even spreading to half of the Netherworld.

Buddha’s Light surged, with the Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha seated upon the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform appearing above.

His form was gaunt, his face filled with compassion.

In another direction, the Buddha of the East, Maitreya Buddha appeared with his big belly, eyeing the Yellow Emperor with a smile.

Behind them stood a vast array of experts from the Buddhist realm, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, Peacock Mahamayuri Bodhisattva, five hundred Arhats, and more.

Sun Wukong’s gaze flickered, “Has that old monk Sandalwood Merit Buddha returned to Mount Ling’s camp again?”

“Great Saint, your master has also arrived,” Immortal Master Erlang said with a smile.

Sun Wukong spoke indifferently, “If you dare to tease me with him again, even though I respect you as an elder brother, I will still fall out with you.”

Immortal Master Erlang smiled faintly and changed the subject, speaking in a gentle voice, “Shall we take action?

Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang Qi is now at a disadvantage against the Buddhist realm, and it’s fortunate that Bodhisattva Guanyin has not come; otherwise, the Yellow Emperor would have to retreat.”

“The Bodhisattva Guanyin will not get involved in such matters, rest assured.

The people of the Buddhist realm have greatly disappointed her.”

Sun Wukong stated.

“As for taking action, there’s no need for now.

The Buddhist Sect has deployed such strong forces here, do you think they’d only bring the people we see before us?

You also know that Tathagata is not dead, and if he were to take action, even if you and I joined forces, we might not be able to stop him, right?”

Immortal Master Erlang nodded.

This was not Sun Wukong undervaluing themselves.

The strength of Tathagata Buddha is unfathomable; even a being like Amitabha Buddha was suppressed without a trace of spirit left.

“Tathagata is determined to claim this place.

With Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang unable to conquer the Netherworld, he should be retreating soon.”

Indeed, seeing both Maitreya Buddha and Lamp-Burning appear.

The Yellow Emperor’s expression shifted slightly.

He realized he had underestimated the Buddhist realm’s resolve, as they had brought so many powerhouses.

A single Lamp-Burning or Maitreya Buddha could halt his advance.

And behind them was an assembly of skilled masters.

With just his own forces, he could no longer easily conquer the Netherworld.

“Where is Ying Hook?”

The Yellow Emperor suddenly called out.

“Your subordinate Ying Hook greets Your Majesty,” Ying Hook emerged from the Yellow Springs Nether Sea, rising into the air and turning into a streak of black light, landing between the confronting sides.

He knelt before the Yellow Emperor, paying homage.
