Thank you for your support—together, let's dive into this extraordinary adventure!

In the sky over Flower Fruit Mountain, three hundred thousand celestial soldiers obscured the sun, banners rippling in the wind.

Wearing the Phoenix Feather Cap, Golden Chainmail Armor, and Cloud-Walking Shoes made of silk, Sun Wukong emerged from the clouds of Flower Fruit Mountain, wielding his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and loudly challenged, "Which rowdy gods dare to make trouble at Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Facing the endless celestial soldiers filling the sky and the stars and heavenly kings standing in all directions, Sun Wukong stood fearlessly on the cloud, shouting defiantly. His extraordinary audacity drew a gleam of respect from Erlang Shen's eyes.

Guanyin's gaze also focused intently on him.

Lord Laozi of the Great Monad’s eyes flickered with thought.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing quickly shrank back in caution.

The Four Heavenly Kings glared with fierce eyes.

Many present were seeing Sun Wukong for the first time. They observed his appearance—neither entirely human nor monkey, with a jade-like face and golden fur, truly a celestial-born spirit monkey and a Taiyi-level great demon king. With the Ruyi Jingu Bang in hand, Phoenix Feather Cap, Golden Chainmail Armor, and Cloud-Walking Shoes, he indeed earned the title of Monkey King.

Perceptions among the spectators varied greatly. Yang Jian's eyes shone with admiration and deep respect. Guanyin focused on Sun Wukong's Body of Pure Yang, considering that he now held the role of The Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Lord Laozi lamented his lost elixirs but was fascinated by Sun Wukong’s essence. Yet these great beings adeptly hid their thoughts, visible only to a sage.

The remaining star generals and heavenly kings couldn't conceal their surprise. Previously, some might have eagerly stepped forward to claim credit, but now, everyone knew Sun Wukong had once defeated the Great Deity of the Three Altars, Ne Zha, extinguishing his spirit. Most awaited others to engage first, or for a group assault, especially since Guanyin Bodhisattva, Lord Laozi, and the equally powerful True Lord Erlang were present, ready to capture what prey remained.

The Five Directional Revealing Truths distributed themselves around Flower Fruit Mountain; the Dragon Gods of the Four Rivers soared across the sky and dove into the earth; the Eastern and Western Astral Deities, Southern and Northern Deities took their positions; and the Twelve Celestial Stems aligned with the stars, encapsulating the sky and land, already encircling Flower Fruit Mountain completely, ready to capture or destroy all its demon inhabitants once the Great King of Flower Fruit Mountain was subdued.

Seeing Sun Wukong apparently trapped by The Heavenly Court's army yet still daring to act so arrogantly, the Nine Luminaries, known for their combative reputations and all within the Taiyi True Immortal realm, couldn’t contain their anger. With a shout, they charged toward Sun Wukong, weapons in hand.

The Nine Luminaries were renowned for their ferocity and bravery, each a formidable Taiyi-level immortal. This time, The Jade Emperor's appointed star generals and heavenly kings were all Taiyi-level, excluding Li Jing, who had connections.

What Shi Yue hadn’t anticipated was that, normally, no one would match Sun Wukong head-to-head, but that was under a system of sequential duels. Knowing Sun Wukong’s ability to defeat Ne Zha, The Heavenly Court wouldn’t allow him another easy victory.

Seeing Sun Wukong face the joint attack of the Nine Luminaries without any fear, he took a bold step forward and, without using any divine powers, swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang directly at the fiercest-looking of the stars. In his heart, he thought, "Since Shi Yue told me to let loose, I’ll make sure to take down the one I dislike the most."

With his killing intent rising, Sun Wukong’s strike was like lightning. By the time the target realized Sun Wukong was upon him, everything went dark. With a "whack," he lost consciousness instantly. Only then did the cries of anger from his comrades reach him.

"Sun Wukong! How dare you!"

He had been instantly dispatched with a single blow from Sun Wukong, his form shattered, leaving only his Primordial Spirit twisting aimlessly in the air.

Taking out one of the Taiyi-level Nine Luminaries stars in a single blow made every star general and the Four Heavenly Kings shudder, confirming that Sun Wukong had indeed reached the level of a Taiyi Celestial Immortal. When Sun Wukong first ascended to heaven, they considered him merely a Taiyi-level demon monkey. They hadn’t imagined he now had the power to instantly kill one of the vicious stars, leaving them all in shock.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing shook with fear, his eyes twitching in terror, glancing towards South Sea Guanyin and Lord Laozi of the Great Monad, who both remained calm and inscrutable.

Meanwhile, the remaining eight Luminaries engaged Sun Wukong in battle. Sun Wukong had created dozens of copies of himself, each attacking an evil star, while his true form found the leisure to laugh heartily.

"Cowards, every one of you! Even if you all attack together, I, old Sun, don’t fear."

Seeing that any of the remaining eight could be defeated at any moment, the aloof Guanyin gave a slight nod towards Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Li Jing was momentarily bewildered. What did that mean? Did she expect him to handle the monkey somehow? His eyes darted around in confusion, seeking clarity from South Sea Guanyin, but she too displayed an inscrutable demeanor, leaving him stuck in uncertainty, unsure of what to do next.

If the Nine Luminaries all fell, The Jade Emperor certainly wouldn’t forgive him, the commander. Begrudgingly, he glared at the other Four Heavenly Kings, then shouted, "Four Heavenly Kings, heed my command! Attack now and together destroy the demon monkey Sun Wukong!"

Hearing the command, the Four Heavenly Kings shot him a fierce glare but complied, taking up their treasures and joining the battle.

In an instant, four treasures emerged in the sky: a silver serpent crackled like lightning, the sound of a celestial zithern resonated through the heavens, a giant umbrella approached Sun Wukong from above, ready to envelop him, and a massive flaming sword shot toward him with blinding speed.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong's eyes shone brightly with divine light, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him. He thought, "Let them witness old Sun's powers today. I’ll strike a few down so my brothers won't underestimate me."

With his fighting spirit kindled and wanting to show off his abilities, Sun Wukong stood still, allowing the umbrella-like treasure to encase him. As a triumphant laugh erupted outside, he suddenly employed his Golden Body technique to expand his form, instantly bursting the confined space of the umbrella treasure. A distant startled cry followed.

"Oh no! My treasure!"

Gasps of shock filled the air, as none had anticipated that the signature treasure of a great heavenly king could be destroyed so effortlessly by Sun Wukong.

Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, watched with heart pounding and battle lust in his eyes, eager to engage Sun Wukong himself.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing was filled with dread at this, glancing again at Laozi and Guanyin. Surprised by their continued passivity, he gritted his teeth once more, channeling his full power, and his voice thundered across the heavens, "Twelve Celestial Stems, align the stars; Five Directional Revealing Truths, Four Duty Attendants, Eastern and Western Astral Deities, Southern and Northern Deities, heed my command: join the battle and capture or slay the demon monkey Sun Wukong!"

The directive echoed clearly across a thousand miles around Flower Fruit Mountain. Unfortunately, the area, even within ten thousand miles, was devoid of life. Sensitive to the apocalyptic threat, all creatures had already fled, but forces from various realms monitored the events from afar.

Atop Flower Fruit Mountain, thick thunderclouds gathered, countless armored soldiers darkened the skies, and five mighty mountains encircled the area, both ethereal and real, trapping Flower Fruit Mountain entirely.

It seemed the sky had fallen and the earth was unraveling; the immense power of the stars twisted reality into strange rainbows, heralding the apocalypse. The Twelve Celestial Stems distorted time and space, making it impossible for anyone to step into Flower Fruit Mountain.

Fate’s cruel jest saw Sun Wukong's sworn brothers arriving from afar, faces etched with disbelief and terror as they watched from a great distance.

The Bull Demon King arrived.

The Dragon Demon King arrived.

The Peng Demon King and Lion Camel King also arrived.

Even Ma Guangtai, known as Zhu Ganglie, who had become a minor demon king, secretly made his way there, along with numerous unknown demon kings and human cultivators, making it truly the focus of the three realms.

In a secluded corner, the stunning woman, transformed from white bone, traveled a great distance to arrive, full of melancholy, gazing longingly toward Flower Fruit Mountain.

Who is battling the heavens alone? Preferring death over submission, daring to defy the heavens and claim equality with them.

Suddenly, tears streamed down her face.

At the entrance of Water Curtain Cave, Shi Yue stood, cold eyes upturned to the sky, unmoving.

Beside him, Six Paths watched with bloodshot eyes, suddenly calling out, "Brother, Six Paths doesn’t understand!"

Shi Yue replied with an emotionless voice, "I said no, and that's final. You must wait for the right moment."

The Six-Eared Macaque, nearly frantic, exclaimed, "Six Paths truly doesn’t understand—what moment are we waiting for now? Must we watch as Brother Sun Wukong is captured by The Heavenly Court? Six Paths cannot do that!"

Shi Yue remained silent, thinking: If you don’t harbor resentment now, how can you bear to leave me? As brothers, I, Shi Yue, am willing to face this calamity alone, hoping for you two to escape the clutches of Tathagata's Five-fingered Mountain. This is the only chance for Flower Fruit Mountain to survive.

Meanwhile, high above Flower Fruit Mountain, several more figures fell, each struck down by Sun Wukong. The fallen were the commanders of the three hundred thousand celestial soldiers—Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, and generals Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, as well as Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Xin, Wei, Ji, and Jing, Gui, Liu stars—all Taiyi True Immortals.

Despite taking some hard blows from the immense power of the stars and the temporal chaos caused by the Twelve Celestial Stems, Sun Wukong fought with increasing vigor, fearless and relentless, believing Shi Yue, his brother, wouldn’t betray him, emboldening him for the battle.

Fighting fiercely and displaying astounding powers, he divided into countless forms, taking on dozens of Taiyi-level immortals without faltering!

This sight fueled Erlang Shen, Yang Jian’s own fighting spirit, eyes burning with fervor. Noticing a subtle movement from South Sea Guanyin, and the supposedly slumbering Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, he sensed trouble, and without hesitation, shouted, "Sun Wukong! Do you dare face me, Yang Jian, in battle?"
