204. Chapter 204: Causing Havoc in the Dragon Palace, Demon Qi Rises in the Wanyao Kingdom

"Back then, Sun Wukong could take the Needle of the Sea to make a Golden Cudgel; today, I, Tongbi Yuanhou, can just as well take the Heaven-Supporting Pillar to make a weapon!"

Hearing these words from Tongbi Yuanhou, the Bohai Dragon King earnestly tried to persuade him: "Exalted Immortal, the reason Beizhou Mountain enjoys favorable weather and the common people live in peace and contentment is entirely due to the Heaven-Supporting Pillar!"

"If the Heaven-Supporting Pillar is pulled out, the entire ten thousand miles of Beizhou Mountain will be submerged by floods, and the people will be plunged into misery!"

"This will cause you to bear immense karma!"

The Dragon King spoke with genuine sincerity, but at this moment, Tongbi Yuanhou's mind was filled with the obsession to defeat Sun Wukong.

While the Bohai Dragon King was chanting, he was busy holding a shrimp Soldier that had transformed into its original form and gnawing on it.

After eating a full seafood feast, he pulled out his Baiyu Golden Whip with satisfaction, his gaze falling upon the Heaven-Supporting Pillar!

"Exalted Immortal, you absolutely must not touch it!" the Bohai Dragon King continued to plead.

Tongbi Yuanhou's eyebrows twitched; having discarded his Buddha-heart, he completely ignored the Bohai Dragon King's rhetoric.

"What, what, what?" He placed his hand to his ear and circled around the Bohai Dragon King.

Then, he suddenly jumped in front of the Heaven-Supporting Pillar, "I said it, I will take the Heaven-Supporting Pillar, and no one can stop me!"

"If you refuse a toast, you shall drink a forfeit!" The Bohai Dragon King was furious and immediately waved his hand at the crowd of shrimp Soldiers and crab generals, saying: "Seize this demon monkey for me!!"

"Kill!!"

Those shrimp Soldiers and crab generals roared and charged toward Tongbi Yuanhou.

"Although I'm already full, it's fine to pack some up to take back for my senior brother!"

Tongbi Yuanhou laughed loudly, waving the Baiyu Golden Whip in his hand; in just an instant, he slaughtered all the shrimp Soldiers and crab generals that the Bohai Dragon King had brought!

The Dragon King on the side watched in terror, not daring to make another sound to stop him.

Tongbi Yuanhou suddenly turned a somersault and appeared before the Heaven-Supporting Pillar on the seabed, which was emitting a lustrous white light throughout; he put away the Baiyu Golden Whip and suddenly hugged the Bohai Heaven-Supporting Pillar in front of him with both hands!

"Rise for me!!"

He roared, and the Heaven-Supporting Pillar in front of him actually began to loosen, causing the entire Bohai Dragon Palace to immediately shake violently.

"A sin! A sin!"

Seeing this scene, the Bohai Dragon King suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes filled with despair.

Their Dragon Clan already bore heavy karmic debts; this time, with the Heaven-Supporting Pillar pulled out, although most of the karmic force would be on Tongbi Yuanhou, a portion of the boundless karmic force generated by the creatures who died in the flooding would still fall upon the heads of the Dragon Clan!

For the current Dragon Clan, this was no less than a heavy hammer blow! But at this moment, Tongbi Yuanhou was not thinking about that at all; feeling the swaying of the Heaven-Supporting Pillar, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he increased the strength in his hands by a few more degrees.

Boom—!!

Water surged, and the Heaven-Supporting Pillar was pulled out directly by Tongbi Yuanhou!

The next moment, wind and clouds surged over the entire Bohai coast, and ten-thousand-foot giant waves rose into the sky, spreading out for ten thousand miles in the surrounding area.

Countless villages were swallowed by the flood in an instant.

"Hahaha! What a divine weapon!"

Tongbi Yuanhou laughed, threw the Heaven-Supporting Pillar into the sky, stepped onto it, and roamed the four seas and eight wildernesses, completely disregarding the monstrous flood below.

He did not notice at this time that the merit he had accumulated on his body had all vanished in this instant.

Seeing this, the Bohai Dragon King below immediately sent a voice transmission to the other major dragon palaces via the Dragon Clan's secret order.

Tongbi Yuanhou might not care about the flood, but they could not afford not to.

If the flood were allowed to run rampant and creatures to die, his Dragon Clan would likely be completely swallowed by this boundless karmic force!

Tongbi Yuanhou stood on the peak of a high mountain, his face full of excitement; as he looked toward the west, a thick sense of jealousy rose in his eyes.

"Sun Wukong, once I swallow the Wanyao Golden Pill, I will definitely defeat you completely!"

Meanwhile, in Qianchong Mountain, Huangmei Laozu looked at the overlapping mountain ranges before him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

The Wanyao Kingdom, known as the paradise of demons, was said to contain one hundred and eight thousand demons.

Yet this place was extremely mysterious; even he could not find the location of the Wanyao Kingdom for a time.

But just at this moment, as the thought of going to the Wanyao Kingdom arose in his heart, a path suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Feeling the demon Qi within that had almost condensed into substance, Huangmei frowned and affirmed in his heart: "With such dense demon Qi, this must be the Wanyao Kingdom!"

Thinking of his junior brother's instructions, although Huangmei felt resistant, he stepped directly into this passage.

When he first entered the passage, everything around him was pitch black.

He turned his head and was startled by the sudden appearance of many skeletons.

A skeleton appeared behind him and said in a gentle, soft voice: "Will you join our Wanyao Kingdom?"

"Are you blind?" Huangmei turned to look at this pile of white bones, "I am a person of the Buddhist sect!"

"How could I join the Wanyao Kingdom?"

After speaking, he ignored the Baigujing and lowered his head to chant the Heart Sutra.

As the sound of the sutra spread, the surrounding darkness quickly receded.

He opened his eyes and found himself in Pansi Cave again.

In front of him, a giant long-legged spider spoke again in a voice full of allure: "Huangmei Laozu, join our Wanyao Kingdom?"

"This line again, stop saying it, I won't!" Huangmei Laozu said persistently.

"Then why did you come in?" the long-legged spider asked.

"I am doing a task for my junior brother; once it is done, I will leave," Huangmei Laozu said coldly, "Go away, don't say it again!"

Just as he waved his hand, the world in the entire space changed again, and he found himself in a world of ice and snow.

A beautiful Xiao Xue appeared from the snow and spoke eloquently to Huangmei Laozu, "If you don't join our Wanyao Kingdom, you will freeze to death in this place; have you considered it clearly?"

"I have considered it very clearly; oh, stop bothering me, that's it," Huangmei Laozu waved his hand at Xiao Xue with some disdain and walked directly to the side.

To him, this world of ice and snow was merely a bit of a chill.

As a disciple under Maitreya Buddha, would he fear the low-level supernatural powers of a snow demon? He sat cross-legged directly and casually drew a Demon-Repelling Circle, blocking all the wind and snow outside.

With this Demon-Repelling Circle alone, ordinary demons need not think about disturbing him.

Just as he was closing his eyes to chant scriptures, he discovered the voice of Tongbi Yuanhou calling for help ringing in his ears. He hurriedly looked up, only to see Tongbi Yuanhou being pressed onto the Demon-Slaying Platform by Maitreya Buddha, his entire cultivation base completely sealed.

At this moment, Maitreya Buddha was holding the Divine Blade, intending to execute Tongbi Yuanhou with a single strike!

Huangmei Laozu hurriedly ran to Maitreya Buddha's side and pleaded, "Master, let Junior Brother go!"

"He only acted unintentionally; he cannot be killed!"

"Tongbi Yuanhou has committed a monstrous disaster. Today, no matter what, I, as his master, must execute him on this Demon-Slaying Platform!" Maitreya Buddha held the Divine Blade, his face resolute as he spoke: "Only in this way can the five-sided karmic force on his body be eliminated."

Seeing Maitreya Buddha wield the blade to strike at Tongbi Yuanhou, Huangmei Laozu, in his desperation, actually unleashed his full-strength move directly against Maitreya Buddha! He poured all his magic power into his palms and blasted Maitreya Buddha to the ground.

Maitreya Buddha, whose cultivation was originally unfathomable, had actually died at the hands of Huangmei just like that.

Tongbi Yuanhou stood up and looked at Huangmei Laozu with some surprise, "Senior Brother, did you kill Master?"

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"

Huangmei Laozu looked at his own hands and murmured in terror.

Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he discovered that the surrounding scene had vanished in an instant, while he himself had appeared in the main hall of the Wanyao Divine Hall in the Wanyao Kingdom.

Below the entire hall stood countless famous great demons who were being hunted by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist realm.

Dream Demon, Snow Maiden, Spider Spirit, Baigujing...

He looked at the person lying on the high platform, and his heart tightened.

Huangmei Laozu had cultivated under Maitreya Buddha for so many years, and his cultivation had reached an extreme level.

Yet at this moment, he actually felt an immense threat from a bewitchingly beautiful demon!

On the stone platform covered in flowers atop the divine hall, the Wanyao Queen lay lazily on the cold stone.

Her waterfall-like long hair spread out wantonly, as if black silk were dancing in the air, intertwining with her long snake tail to form a bewitching and breathtaking scene.

Her skin was as white as snow, glowing with a faint luster as if it could absorb all light, making one unable to resist the urge to touch it, yet one was deterred by that invisible demonic aura.

Her face was stunning and bewitching; her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes held autumn ripples, and her red lips were like fire. Every subtle expression radiated an irresistible charm.

That long snake tail coiled windingly on the stone, its scales shimmering with a mysterious light, each one seeming to contain endless power.

Demonic aura surged from her body like a tide, rolling and surging in the air to form a hazy mist, shrouding the entire divine hall in a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Her posture was lazy and elegant, every movement carrying an innate nobility and unruliness. She stretched her body lightly, her snake tail moving slowly as if communicating some mysterious information with this ancient divine hall. Her gaze was hazy and profound, as if she could see through everything in the world, yet it made one unable to grasp her true inner thoughts.

The aura she exuded was extraordinary and unique, possessing both the charm and wildness of a demon and the majesty and nobility of a queen.

She was the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the ruler of this Wanyao Kingdom; her existence made all living beings in this world fall for her and hold her in awe.

Sunlight spilled onto her through the dome of the divine hall, outlining her perfect figure and making her appear even more bright and moving. The golden light intertwined with the demonic aura on her body, forming a strange and wonderful visual effect, making one feel as if they were in a dreamlike world.

Her snake tail swayed gently, the scales rubbing against each other to emit a faint sound. That winding snake tail was like a nimble river, flowing with her emotions and thoughts, making one unable to help but want to delve into the mysteries within.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile—a confidence in her own power and an expectation for the future. She knew that she was the Wanyao Queen, her fate closely linked to this mysterious world, and she would use her own power and wisdom to guard this territory that belonged to her.

In this divine hall, the Wanyao Queen was like a brilliant star, radiating dazzling light.

"Who are you?" Huangmei Laozu asked with a face full of caution toward this queen who was covered in demonic aura and possessed a strange snake tail.

"I am the ruler of this Wanyao Kingdom!" The Wanyao Queen wound a strand of hair around her finger, her gaze lingering on Huangmei Laozu, "The Wanyao Queen."

"Huangmei Laozu, welcome to the Wanyao Kingdom!"

"Hmph! This humble monk is a member of the Buddhist sect; how could I join your demon realm?" Huangmei looked at the Wanyao Queen with disdain and sneered.

"Oh? Is that so?" The Wanyao Queen smiled lightly, and with a wave of her hand, a Demon-Revealing Mirror appeared beside Huangmei, "Then you might as well look at your current appearance."

Huangmei turned his head and saw himself in the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and he was startled.

In the Demon-Revealing Mirror, his face had gained a bit of evil charm, and his originally pure Buddhist power was actually exuding a thick demonic power at this moment.

With a single thought, ten thousand evils are born. Under the catalysis of the Dream Demon, when Huangmei Laozu personally blasted his master Maitreya Buddha to death in his dream, he had already completely fallen into the demonic path!

"How could it be like this, how could it be like this."

Huangmei Laozu's face was filled with sorrow.

"Isn't this good?"

The Wanyao Queen chuckled, and as she opened her mouth, a thick purple pill containing boundless magic power flew out from it.

"Wanyao Golden Pill??" Huangmei Laozu's brows knit together, somewhat astonished and uncertain. He couldn't even bother to question his fall into the demonic path and asked the Wanyao Queen, "How did you know I came here to seek the Wanyao Golden Pill?"

"Tongbi Yuanhou has infinite potential and extraordinary demonic nature." The Wanyao Queen stared at Huangmei, a smile appearing on her face, "Only he is worthy of eating this Wanyao Golden Pill."

"You don't need to ask me how I know. In the Wanyao Kingdom, there are one hundred and eight thousand demons. As long as I wish, I can find out a thing or two about all the news, big and small, in this world."

"Once Tongbi Yuanhou eats this Wanyao Golden Pill, he will become the most difficult demon to rival."

After the Wanyao Queen finished speaking, she waved her palm lightly, and the Wanyao Golden Pill floated directly from the air into Huangmei's hand.

Huangmei looked at the Wanyao Golden Pill in his palm, his heart still full of confusion.

He had originally thought that coming to the Wanyao Kingdom this time would require a lot of persuasion, or perhaps killing demons and eliminating devils.

He never expected that the moment he met the Wanyao Queen, the other party would give him the Wanyao Golden Pill so readily.

Apart from his own fall into the demonic path, it seemed he hadn't lost anything at all!

Huangmei Laozu rubbed his chin and thought to himself, "This Wanyao Queen must have a history with Junior Brother!"

"But I'll ask him about these things later. With this Wanyao Golden Pill now, Junior Brother's cultivation will definitely improve greatly, and defeating Sun Wukong will be no problem!"

He gave a slight Buddhist salute to the Wanyao Queen and turned to leave the Wanyao Kingdom.

At this time, on the peak of the mountains, Tongbi Yuanhou held the Heaven-Supporting Pillar, a sense of heroism rising in his heart.

Having spent these past few days, he had completely familiarized himself with this divine weapon, the Heaven-Supporting Pillar.

As he used the Bohai Heaven-Supporting Pillar, Tongbi Yuanhou discovered that this staff seemed to have been prepared for him by nature. With the enhancement of the Heaven-Supporting Pillar, the power of his spells and supernatural abilities was many times more formidable than at the beginning! "Just waiting for Senior Brother to bring back the Wanyao Golden Pill, defeating Sun Wukong this time will be as easy as turning over one's hand!"

Tongbi Yuanhou murmured, jumped off the mountain peak, landed on the trunk of a thousand-year-old ancient tree, and closed his eyes to rest while holding the Heaven-Supporting Pillar to regulate his breath.

Just at this moment, Bai Wuchang, wearing a hat that said 【Wealth at First Sight】, and Hei Wuchang, wearing a hat that said 【Peace Under Heaven】, holding the Soul-Hooking Lock and the Soul-Guiding Banner, quietly walked toward the resting Tongbi Yuanhou... (End of this chapter)
