Chapter 647: Great Luo Golden Pill, Seven Stars Subdue Demons
What is that?
Anlan suddenly discovered a drop of black blood falling from the opening above the Heavens Above, filled with Not Ominous and Weirdness.
He was startled and prepared to dodge.
As a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Anlan could perceive the aura of the same origin within it.
Once contaminated, one would inevitably be corroded and corrupted by the black blood.
But at that same instant, Anlan stopped his steps and muttered:
"That's not right. I am a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a creature that evolves by continuously Devouring Dark Matter.
Why should I run, and why should I hide?
Isn't this a natural, highly nourishing treasure?"
Why was the original Corpse Immortal Emperor contaminated by black blood when he was promoted to Immortal Emperor, leading to Not Ominous and Weirdness?
That is because every being who cultivates to become an Immortal Emperor through their own ability has their own unique Great Dao, while the black blood represents the Great Dao of the Darkness Race, the source of Weirdness.
How domineering and how powerfully unsolvable the Great Dao of the Weirdness Ancestor is.
Once the Corpse Immortal Emperor was contaminated, he would naturally be assimilated by the Dark Weirdness Great Dao.
As an Immortal Emperor, how could he possibly let such a situation develop?
That is why the Corpse Immortal Emperor severed his Primordial Spirit and Flesh, sealing them within the Three-Life Copper Coffin, leaving behind the corroded Flesh in hopes of finding a way to break the curse in the future.
Anlan's situation is different; he is a dark creature by nature, Devouring Dark Matter, and does not reject Weirdness and Not Ominous; this is his foundation.
Thinking of this, he directly and proactively seized the black blood and refined it completely.
As expected, this was a drop of Immortal Emperor-level black blood—highly nourishing!
At the same time, in a secret land on the Highland above the Heavens Above.
Several blurry figures manifested within the dark clouds; they saw Anlan actively accepting the black blood and were very satisfied with this.
"It seems that before long, our Ancestor lineage will have one more Road-End Level supreme being."
A hoarse, sinister figure said.
"Indeed. Unexpectedly, that lower realm actually has a creature that has reached the pinnacle of an evolver."
"If this continues, the Ancestor lineage will become increasingly powerful."
For different races, the titles for cultivation are also different.
Among the races above the Heavens Above, an Immortal Emperor is also called Road-End Level or Supreme of the Heavens, the peak of a path, the end of the Great Dao.
Above this is the legendary Sacrificial Dao realm; in the entire Heavens Above, only the ten Ancestors are in such a realm.
And these black shadows are all Road-End Level, which is the Immortal Emperor realm.
Now, they have clearly already regarded Anlan as a future member of the Darkness Race.
Journey to the West World, Pingding Mountain, entrance to Lotus Cave.
Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, Baigu Furen, Xiaobailong, Heixiong, and others arrived here.
Yinjiao Dawang was kneeling on the ground with his head pressed by Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel, looking dejected, and shouted:
"Big Brother, save me!"
Boom!
A thick cloud of white mist suddenly erupted from the Lotus Cave. Jinjiao Dawang, holding the Seven-Star Sword, rushed out. Upon seeing Yinjiao's miserable state, he immediately glared with wide eyes and shouted:
"Little Brother, who bullied you like this?"
"Who else could it be? That Bi Ma Wen," Yinjiao Dawang wailed, his face full of grievance.
"What kind of status do you have? Is Bi Ma Wen something a monster like you can call me?"
Sun Wukong kicked Yinjiao in the back, sending him face-planting into the dirt.
One must know that the current Sun Wukong is already a Great Luo Golden Immortal; the power of that kick nearly broke Yinjiao's waist.
Of course, he held back out of respect for Taishang Laojun; if he had really intended to kill, he would have smashed his head to pieces with one strike.
"Sun Wukong, stop being presumptuous! If you bully my brother again, I will chop off one of Zhu Bajie's legs right now," Jinjiao Dawang raged.
At this moment, the minor demons of Lotus Cave happened to drag Zhu Bajie out of the cave entrance. Zhu Bajie also heard Jinjiao Dawang's words, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted:
"Houzi Brother, don't do anything rash! My life is in your hands."
"Hehe, monster. Even if you took this pig-head's head off, I, Old Sun, wouldn't even frown.
But you shouldn't have blocked my master's path, and I, Old Sun, have never been coerced by anyone."
After speaking, Sun Wukong kicked Yinjiao again.
"Sun Wukong!" Jinjiao Dawang gritted his teeth.
"You dead monkey, what kind of heartless things are you saying? If I, Old Pig, die, I won't let you go even as a ghost. I'll knock on your door every night and curse your monkey descendants," Zhu Bajie scolded.
"Hehe, then don't blame my Ruyi Golden Cudgel for being blind," Sun Wukong chuckled.
"Big Brother, won't doing this hurt Pig Brother's feelings?" Heixiong transmitted his voice.
"No, no. It's just right to train this fool," Sun Wukong replied.
Jinjiao Dawang knew that if he relied solely on magic power, he could not defeat Sun Wukong, let alone Xuanzang standing behind him.
He had stayed by Laojun's side for many years and knew countless inside stories of the Three Realms.
Especially Xuanzang's realm and magic power, which could be called terrifying.
Jinjiao Dawang looked at Xuanzang and pressed his palms together:
"Master, you are a monk, a virtuous and eminent monk with noble character, respected and admired by all. But your disciple's conduct seems to lower your character."
Hearing this, Xuanzang did not expect this Jinjiao to shift the conflict; he had some schemes.
"Master, don't listen to this monster's nonsense. Who in heaven or earth doesn't know that I, Old Sun, am a model monkey? This monster wants to sow discord. Let me, Old Sun, just beat him to death with one strike," Sun Wukong said.
Xuanzang waved his hand, signaling Sun Wukong not to act rashly, then said: "Jinjiao, you plotted to block our master and disciple, and Wukong retaliated against this; is that not reasonable?"
Jin Jiao's eyes flickered with light as he continuously pondered a countermeasure.
Xuanzang must have seen through their tricks by now, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
Thus, he said: "Holy Monk, being caught in the tribulation, my brother and I are also helpless."
"We do this so that the Holy Monk may soon attain the right fruit and save all living beings."
"That's a pretty way to put it, then why not just go through the motions? Why did you have to boil me, old Zhu?" Zhu Bajie complained.
Jin Jiao ignored Zhu Bajie and continued to look at Xuanzang, saying:
"Holy Monk, your cultivation is unfathomable; I admit I am no match for you."
"You monster, you know that, yet you still won't clear the path," Sun Wukong said loudly.
"But if we don't have a fight, this tribulation will be in name only. I fear the Heavenly Dao will not permit it, and then all our efforts will have been in vain," Jin Jiao said.
"Jinjiao, what do you want to do?"
Xuanzang said; he actually wanted to see how Jin Jiao intended to play this.
With his current realm, whether he attained the right fruit or not was unimportant, and he had absolutely no interest in it.
As for these Eighty-One Tribulations, it was all just a game; no matter how one passed them, it was still passing them, so why not choose something more interesting!
"Holy Monk, this little demon is no match for you, so I choose to compete against your disciple Sun Wukong. If Sun Wukong wins, you may continue your journey west; if Sun Wukong loses, Holy Monk, please suffer the grievance of staying in this Lotus Cave for ten years," Jinjiao Dawang said.
"Monster, you've got a good plan. But this old Sun sees that you are merely a Golden Immortal; how do you think you can beat this old Sun?" Sun Wukong said.
"Dead monkey, don't be arrogant. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; if you lose, we'll all be in trouble," Zhu Bajie reminded him.
Sun Wukong was not stupid; Jin Jiao must have had confidence to propose such a plan. He looked at Xuanzang and said:
"Master, what do you think?"
"I have no objections. Wukong, fight well. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter," Xuanzang said warmly.
Hearing this bet, he almost laughed out loud with joy; wouldn't this mean a ten-year vacation?
What a wonderful thing!
It wasn't that he didn't have faith in his disciple Wukong, but Jin Jiao had too many magic treasures; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't withstand them.
Therefore, in this bet, Jin Jiao would win nine times out of ten.
Xuanzang could have refused, or secretly helped Sun Wukong, but there was no need. The thought of being able to take a ten-year vacation in Lotus Cave was very satisfying.
Anyway, no matter how this tribulation played out, Taishang Laojun would have his back, and Buddhism would have no excuse to find fault with him.
Jin Jiao, meanwhile, recalled the instructions Laojun had given him before descending to the mortal world.
Laojun had said that once the two sides showed their cards, the rest would be up to the brothers to improvise.
"Holy Monk, before the battle of techniques, may I release my little brother?" Jinjiao Dawang said.
"No problem, you release Bajie as well," Xuanzang said.
"As the Holy Monk commands," Jinjiao Dawang said, cupping his hands politely.
Afterward, Bajie returned, and Yinjiao ran back to Jin Jiao's side, looking dejected.
"Big Brother, are you confident?" Yinjiao Dawang whispered, his whole body aching terribly from being kicked by Sun Houzi.
"Of course I am. Have you forgotten? When we descended, Laojun gave me a trump card," Jinjiao Dawang said confidently.
"But that monkey is already a Great Luo Golden Immortal," Yinjiao Dawang said, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Don't panic, it's not a big problem," Jinjiao Dawang waved his hand, his demeanor calm and unhurried.
Subsequently, Sun Wukong and Jinjiao Dawang stood facing each other from a distance, preparing to battle.
At this moment, Xuanzang took the opportunity to open the Live Broadcast Room to share the upcoming battle with the group members.
Chat Group.
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I just looked at Xuan Ge's stream and saw the Great Saint fighting Jin Jiao?"
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "They haven't even started fighting yet, what nonsense are you spouting, you Ye Laoliu."
Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "Hehehe!"
Demon Queen: "No, Xuanzang, I have a question. The last stream was already fighting this Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, how is it still not over? How much time has passed? I've already had my period a few times."
Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "The flow of time is different in every world."
Chicken Island's Strongest Hair Stylist: "Um, may I ask, do gods still have periods?"
Demon Queen: "Why wouldn't they? Gods are women too, they are also flesh and blood; they have everything they should have."
Playboy: "Queen, with your technology, you could completely eliminate periods. Wouldn't that be more comfortable? No worries every month."
Demon Queen: "Damn, that wouldn't be human anymore. Although it hurts when it comes, at least it's proof of being human."
Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "That's right, so this Sword Immortal usually refines some pills to stop the pain."
Peach Blossom Island Little Fairy: "Pills? Sister Wang Wu, can you send me some?"
Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "Cough cough, Little Huang Rong, no problem. We're all cute girls, I understand."
Yin-Yang School's First Extraordinary Woman: "You cannot favor one over the other."
Spirit Hall Pope: "Cough cough, Yingying, Sister Wang Wu."
Wudang Old Immortal: "I suggest drinking more plain water."
Demon Queen: "Get lost, you old geezer."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "???, the topic has gone off track, hasn't it? Aren't we watching the Great Saint beat up Jinjiao Dawang?"
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "There's no suspense in the ending; the Great Saint is fighting a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he'll crush Jin Jiao."
Zui Ai He Shounai: "Go Great Saint!"
Demon King Who Never Suffers: "I have a different opinion. Although Jin Jiao's realm is inferior to the Great Saint's, he has many magic treasures, and they restrain the Great Saint."
After saying this, Jinjiao Dawang took out a small porcelain bottle and retrieved a pill the size of a dragon's eye from it.
This Pill was entirely gilded in color, overflowing with rays of mysterious light.
The moment it appeared, the entire air was permeated with a rich medicinal fragrance that made one's spirit tremble upon smelling it.
Beneath the hard soil at their feet, one could see tender sprouts pushing their way out one after another, blooming instantly.
This scene could be called miraculous.
"What kind of Pill is this?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"Haha, this is the one and only Great Luo Golden Pill in the heavens and on earth.
With just this one, one can break through directly from the Golden Immortal Realm to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Having said that, Jin Jiao swallowed the Great Luo Golden Pill without hesitation; the moment the Great Luo Golden Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a ray of Great Luo light that enveloped Jin Jiao.
Jin Jiao only felt his body floating, a supreme power arising spontaneously, as if he were omnipotent; he laughed wildly, completely crazed.
"Damn, why didn't I, Old Sun, get to eat this Pill back then? Laojun has misled me!"
Seeing this, Sun Wukong felt like he was about to crack; so it turned out that advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was actually this easy, requiring no cultivation at all, just a single Pill.
Yet, back in the day, he had eaten over a dozen gourds of pills from Laojun, but had never happened to eat this Great Luo Pill.
As Jin Jiao advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, that dense Great Luo light dyed the entire firmament gold.
"As expected of Laojun, what a grand gesture," Zhu Bajie sighed, filled with envy.
If he had this Great Luo Pill, he could also advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and furthermore, reshape his foundation and shed his pig form.
Baigu Furen's gaze was like a torch; if she had this Great Luo Golden Pill, she could also advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Truly, she had not expected that Taishang Laojun, a Cloning of the Sanqing, would possess such top-tier alchemy Absorption.
If one had these Great Luo Pills, wouldn't it be possible to create Great Luo Golden Immortals in batches?
At the same time, the expressions of the Great Abilitys throughout the Three Realms who were watching this tribulation changed one after another.
However, most were basically just spectators; only the West did not look pleased.
Originally, it was just supposed to be a formality, and then they would invite a Great Ability to subdue Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.
Now it was a mess; he had gone straight into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so what was the point of fighting?
"Hehe, Sun Wukong. They all say you are the Great Saint Equal to Heaven, invincible in battle; today, this seat will come to experience your divine abilities."
Because he advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm via a Pill, Jin Jiao had no Heavenly Tribulation and directly obtained Great Luo magic power.
He held the Seven-Star Sword and slashed toward Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong dodged immediately upon seeing this.
And that earth-shattering, heaven-weeping Sword Qi split the entire firmament in two.
The Seven-Star Sword is one of Taishang Laojun's many treasures, specifically used for exorcising demons.
The number of demons that have died under this Seven-Star Sword is countless.
It is rumored that back then, a top-tier Demon Ancestor appeared in a Great Thousand World under Nanshan Buzhou and wreaked havoc on the world; the Nine Heavens Demon-Quelling Patriarch could not do anything about it for a time, and later had to borrow the Seven-Star Sword from Taishang Laojun, only then managing to destroy the enemy with overwhelming force and slay the demon with one sword.
