The mountain peaks descended, pressing down on the area above the Spirit Lake. Everyone was alarmed. Who could be so powerful as to simultaneously suppress and kill everyone?
The crowd was distracted and had to defend themselves. If Shifeng were allowed to fill this place with stones, they might be safe, but the silver peach trees would surely be destroyed.
Various treasure techniques shot into the sky, flashing symbols, shattering the stone peaks, with debris and dust filling the air. The sky above was a gloomy gray, and the Spirit Lake was covered in dirt and stones.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Little One stored the young deity into the Qiankun Bag. He transformed into a beam of demonic light and rushed forward, taking action amidst the dust and stones. Opening the Qiankun Bag, he tried to collect the four silver peach trees.
With treasure techniques clashing and divine light dancing, the place was in complete disarray.
Several small trees were lifted off the ground, pulled out of the soil by Shiyi, the purple-clad girl, and others using symbols. However, Little One's Qiankun Bag was evidently more domineering, swallowing everything.
The area was in complete turmoil, with light flashing everywhere.
A roar echoed, and an old wolf appeared. Though only a meter long, emaciated and looking decrepit, it was terrifyingly powerful.
With a "pfft," it slashed open the body of a pure-blooded being, a horrifying sight as the light from the treasure weapon pierced through.
An old undying creature, mentioned by the Monkey King, also appeared here to seize the holy medicine. Its strength was unfathomable as it opened its not-so-large mouth, disturbing the void.
Little One was startled, frowning as the struggle failed to secure the silver peach trees into the Qiankun Bag. The lurking old wolf took advantage of the opportunity.
However, it was not successful. Other creatures also coveted the treasure. A magpie appeared, though it was an ordinary species, its strength was frightening. It rapidly enlarged, resembling a Kunpeng, covering the sky, extending its large claws to interfere with the divine battle, pushing back the old wolf to snatch the holy medicine.
The place was in utter chaos, with powerful beings emerging from the shadows, including the former “undying” creatures.
The Monkey King roared from afar while fighting powerful enemies. He had been paying close attention to this place. With a thunderous sound, symbols flared, and the Spirit Lake was illuminated by a myriad of lights.
“If you want to take my treasure, I’ll take you all down. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”
With his roar, various mysterious symbols from the Pure Land glowed and formed a sealing array that locked down the area. The ground was fixed, and no one could shake the four silver peach trees.
The array appeared, and the Monkey King was well-prepared, waiting for the old creatures to show up so he could capture them and the pure-blooded beings all at once.
“That’s a powerful formation,” everyone was surprised.
“Monkey, you are too arrogant, thinking you’re the master of the Hundred Cuts Mountain. Such arrogance will lead to your demise.”
“It’s time to settle old scores. Monkey, come and face your death.”
Several ancient beings spoke with a heavy tone, filled with killing intent.
“Just a few defeated enemies from back then. I’ll kill as many as come,” said the Monkey King.
With a thunderous sound, he avoided the attacks of the Golden-Winged Roc and the Peacock, crashing into the black to drive back the silver-spiked beast, and returned to the Pure Land, targeting the old kings.
“Kill!”
“Today, we must eliminate this monkey!” roared the Bull King, seeking to unite with the old kings.
The Iron-Blooded Ancient Tree showed its intention with action. Its roots spread, cracking the earth, reaching the Pure Land in an instant, attacking the area.
Other kings also rushed in, with no one retreating. Since the battle had reached this point, it was a fight to the death with the monkey. If they did not eliminate it today, there would be great trouble.
In the Pure Land, the raging monkeys went wild, and the Monkey King returned, wielding a war spear and slaughtering everywhere.
The pure-blooded beings were in great danger, activating their treasure techniques to forcibly break through. They were confident in their ancient treasures, as being trapped here meant certain death.
Little One crouched down, holding a broken sword in one hand and a small tower in the other, ready to flee. Since his attempt had failed, he did not plan to fight to the death here. The beings were too powerful and difficult to handle.
“Monkey, your formation is so poor. With so many flaws, you think you can trap us?” An old dragon appeared, its entire body green, looking frail and bloodline withered.
“It’s you. Weren’t you dead back then?” The Monkey King was startled. This was a master of formations. With it present, the ancient formation was hard to contain anyone.
“If you do not die, how can I leave this world?” the old dragon said in a deep voice.
“Enough talk. Come and meet your end,” the Monkey King dived.
“First, let’s break your formation. I’ll show you how laughable these shabby formations are,” the old dragon sneered. With a wave of symbols, the place immediately resonated with the sound of cracking.
Soon, a corner of the formation was breached. As the symbols collapsed, daylight reappeared. Several old monsters combined their efforts, rendering the formation unable to withstand the assault and falling apart.
Clearly, their hatred for the monkey surpassed everything. They wanted to kill it immediately and united all their forces to strike.
At this moment, Hei, the Bull King, and the Peacock arrived, launching a fierce attack, engaging the monkey in battle. Treasure techniques surged, and divine light illuminated the scene.
The pure-blooded beings had no choice but to use their treasure techniques and join the fight, as they were also in the Pure Land, which had become chaotic.
Of course, Bi Fang, Zhu Qian, and others, though lacking in strength due to their short cultivation time, still managed to hold their ground after using their treasures and were not immediately killed.
However, the longer the battle went on, the paler their faces became.
Eventually, a pure-blooded being fell, torn apart here and turned into a bloody treasure medicine.
The battle grew increasingly brutal. Little One grinned, covered in wounds. Even he was affected. Despite having the broken sword in hand, the king’s murderous light remained terrifying.
This was due to him pretending to be weak and fighting with a group of monkeys. No one paid much attention. Otherwise, if he had been the focus, it would have been even more dangerous.
A pure-blooded being, daring beyond measure, Bi Fang used a treasure to create a golden passage, reaching directly to the silver peach trees, almost pulling one small tree in.
“Get lost!”
The Monkey King was furious. With a slap, his golden claws enlarged, causing the golden passage to shatter. Bi Fang’s body cracked, and bones shattered.
He suffered severe injuries, let out a mournful cry, activated his treasure, and vanished in a flash, disappearing from the scene.
Everyone was astonished. It was definitely a supreme treasure to escape from the Monkey King, which was no small feat.
Little One did not leave. He still had some strength left. He carried a shrinking symbol on him and could escape instantly. He continued to fight with the monkeys, eyes fixed on the holy medicine.
Aside from him, the Chìlóng was also fierce. Though fleeing into the sky, it opened a divine net, enveloping a silver peach tree and wrapping it up to escape.
At the same time, Zhu Qian took action. It ignited an ancient symbol, emitting mysterious power, forming a light cluster that wrapped around a holy medicine and rapidly retreated.
Little One was dumbfounded. These guys had strange treasures and actually succeeded.
“Come back!” roared the Monkey King, using his divine power to inhale. The clouds in the sky were all sucked into his mouth, and the two peach trees flew back.
Additionally, countless monkey hairs flew out from him, turning into golden divine needles, densely stabbing forward.
The Chìlóng roared in anger, covered in blood. It was struck by the divine needles and cried out in pain, its blood spraying out. It had to abandon the peach tree and flee.
Zhu Qian fared even worse. It was hit by a divine blade from the Monkey King’s formation, its powerful tail severed as it fled for its life.
“Let you go first. I’ll deal with you one by one later,” the Monkey King whispered, battling everyone while pulling the two treasure medicines back.
“Weng”
Suddenly, the void was disturbed, and the silver peach tree that had been pulled back was stabilized, then rapidly fell.
The purple-clad girl, holding a golden horn, dispelled the Monkey King's symbol and intercepted the peach tree, quickly fleeing with it.
“The Holy Horn that specifically breaks symbols!” Everyone exclaimed, their eyes immediately turning red with rage.
“My holy medicine, who dares to take it?” The Monkey King’s voice was icy.
Golden beams shot from his eyes, like thunder, enveloping the silver tree and aiming to reclaim it.
“Monkey, you’re too distracted. Be careful or you’ll fall!” The old wolf sneered and launched a ferocious attack.
Moreover, it intentionally assisted the purple-clad girl, causing the Monkey King to be distracted, resulting in the holy medicine falling to the ground and slipping out of the Monkey King's control.
Several pure-blooded beings rushed in. With the three treasure medicines in the Pure Land difficult to seize, this one, out of the Monkey King's control, was the best option.
The Rift Sky Demon Butterfly flapped its wings, blocking the purple-clad girl, while a divine bird swooped down, arriving in an instant.
The battle was intense, with all engaged in a bloody struggle.
“Let you fight for now. None of you will escape in the end,” the Monkey King’s cold voice echoed from the distant sky.
The void trembled as Shiyi suddenly reappeared at a critical moment. His gaze was brilliant, and strands of lines flew from his eyes, stabilizing the void and imprisoning the holy medicine. He then forcefully pulled the medicine closer.
The purple-clad girl, glowing with radiance, arrived at high speed. Her crystalline hand formed a seal, generating divine patterns that instantly wrapped around the peach tree, pulling it back.
Other beings also rushed forward to compete for it.
“Apologies, everyone. Shiyi’s eyes shine with a strange divine power that temporarily restrained the void, preventing others from getting close. Then, a shimmering white jar appeared on his chest, palm-sized and refined from precious bones. It was warm and translucent, with auspicious clouds, used to collect the silver peach tree.”
“Open!”
The purple-clad girl shouted. One hand expanded the symbol, shaking the void, while the other wielded the golden divine horn to dissolve the confinement, clearing the void.
However, it was a bit too late. The silver peach tree was shrinking and was about to fall into the bone jar.
Suddenly, a light flashed. Little One used the Shrinking Earth Symbol, rapidly rushing over. He threw the small tower, hitting the bone jar with a crisp clang, causing it to deviate.
He dashed past while reaching for the silver peach tree. Everyone was startled and immediately tried to stop him.
Little One braced himself, using his hands to block the attacks of the crowd, biting down on the silver tree trunk.
The purple-clad girl and Shiyi cast spells, trying their best to stop him, making Little One feel as if he were stuck in a quagmire. After a while, he bit off a segment of the trunk and sped away without hesitation or delay.
The crowd was shocked and startled.
With a segment of the tree missing, it fell down. They did not pursue the fleeting shadow but instead grabbed for the holy medicine.
“Damn it, one of the silver peaches is missing.”
Little One bit off a peach from the branch, making the atmosphere tense. However, he had already left.
Shiyi’s eyes were cold as he looked at the fleeting silhouette. He was so close to obtaining that small tree, only to have it disrupted.
Little One grabbed the small tower, wrapped it around his hair again, and disappeared from sight.
The area was filled with symbols and rumbling. Unfortunately, the others were too far away and gained nothing. Shiyi and the purple-clad girl succeeded, with the former taking a segment of the branch and the latter getting the main body of the tree.
“Let me out!”
At this moment, a voice came from the Qiankun Bag, vibrating with a thud. Little One was startled and opened the bag to find the cocoon vibrating.
“Hmm, my holy medicine, how is it in your hands?” A voice came from the cocoon.
“Ha! Trying to swindle my holy medicine. You should know that even you belong to me,” Little One said.
The cocoon glowed, and at the same time, the Pure Land trembled and then split open, revealing a complex and mysterious formation as if it had revived.
“Collect!” The being in the cocoon gasped heavily, as if on the verge of death.
Three silver peach trees flew in, but unfortunately, the Monkey King intercepted them midway. Only one successfully broke through and landed nearby.
Little One was surprised but did not hesitate. He grabbed the small tree and used the Shrinking Earth Symbol to swiftly disappear.
