Chapter 97

The Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang were a set of techniques formed by the Three Pure Ones Saints gathering various divine abilities.

Mediation of Creation involved the creative power of Nüwa creating humans.

Knowing the future, returning heaven to the day, bringing the dead back to life, the Five Elements Escape Technique, etc., were all great divine abilities of the Daoist sect.

Under such a powerful cultivation technique, Sun Wukong could explode his own strength even more powerfully.

"This is..."

Stopping his body, Zhenwu, who wanted to resist, had a solemn look in his eyes.

Sun Wukong's performance exceeded his expectations; the previous power had increased the opponent's strength several times, and now he had even displayed such a powerful Tiangang method.

Like him, Great Emperor Zhenwu also knew the Tiangang methods, but every cultivator had their own areas of expertise in the Tiangang methods.

It was impossible for all cultivators to cultivate the Tiangang methods to the extreme.

On one hand, there was no such time, and on the other, most creatures did not have the aptitude in this regard.

So Great Emperor Zhenwu could see that Sun Wukong had also cultivated Inverting Yin and Yang to a certain degree.

"Sun Wukong." Great Emperor Zhenwu suddenly grinned. "Your current strength is enough for me to treat you seriously. Now I will use my true power."

"Old man Zhenwu, anyone can talk big; you should receive my attack first." Sun Wukong said coldly.

A terrifying attack also fell from the sky toward Great Emperor Zhenwu.

"Slaying Demons, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder."

Great Emperor Zhenwu took a deep breath, and the aura belonging to a Da Luo Golden Immortal made this heaven and earth seem as if it were imprisoned.

"Boom..."

Wisps of jumping silver lightning quickly intertwined on the Zhenwu Sword.

Looking from afar, it was as if Great Emperor Zhenwu was holding a thick bolt of lightning.

It could be said that at this moment, Great Emperor Zhenwu finally used his true power; before this, in the confrontation with Sun Wukong, he had restrained his power.

After all, as the Heavenly Court's Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, he possessed the power of a peak Da Luo.

And regarding becoming a Quasi-Saint, Zhenwu also had great confidence.

So just now, dealing with Sun Wukong, who had merely become a Da Luo, Zhenwu could not possibly use his full strength.

Now, facing Sun Wukong's constantly increasing power, Great Emperor Zhenwu finally treated him seriously.

He acknowledged Sun Wukong as an opponent.

Sun Wukong.

As one of the protagonists of the future Fomen Great Calamity.

As one of the high-level officials of the Heavenly Court and a heavenly god valued by the Jade Emperor, Great Emperor Zhenwu also knew some things.

Therefore, Great Emperor Zhenwu was not an ordinary Da Luo in the Heavenly Court; sometimes his status was enough to reach the level of a Quasi-Saint.

Regarding this, most Quasi-Saint powerhouses had no bad perception; after all, Great Emperor Zhenwu had already proven himself through constant battles and victories over these years.

When he became a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, he would surely be an outstanding one among Quasi-Saints.

Those ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouses would naturally want to befriend Zhenwu and would not have any conflict with him.

So regarding the Fomen Great Calamity, Zhenwu also knew a thing or two.

Although Sun Wukong was the protagonist, to a certain extent, he was just a pawn of Fomen.

Regarding this, Great Emperor Zhenwu could only express pity and sigh; this Sun Wukong's destiny had long been decided.

It was a pity that Great Emperor Zhenwu couldn't do anything about it, nor did he have such strength.

After all, behind this Great Calamity was not anyone else, but those two legendary Saints.

And in this world, there was such a saying.

Below the Saints, all are ants.

Whether it was Da Luo or Quasi-Saint, in the eyes of the Saints, they were likely all the same.

Precisely because of this, Great Emperor Zhenwu had no great malice toward Sun Wukong; he was just completing the Heavenly Court's mission.

At the same time, Sun Wukong reaching this point was likely due to Fomen's schemes behind the scenes.

But now, when Sun Wukong stimulated the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline and displayed the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang.

Great Emperor Zhenwu truly acknowledged this opponent, rather than just pitying him.

"Inverting Yin and Yang..."

Sun Wukong's Golden-Hooped Rod suppressed down like a world.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder..."

Great Emperor Zhenwu's Zhenwu Sword turned into thunder, erupting with incomparably brilliant light, tearing and illuminating the entire heaven and earth.

The surrounding heavenly soldiers with weak strength retreated one after another; facing the aura of power released by the two top Da Luo, they could no longer bear it.

Nezha, Yang Jian, Li Jing, and other immortals had not retreated much; they stared at the battle in the distance with serious expressions.

Whether it was Sun Wukong or Great Emperor Zhenwu.

The power they erupted with had long surpassed them.

If Great Emperor Zhenwu hadn't come this time, them wanting to capture Sun Wukong would have been a dream.

"Sun Wukong." Yang Jian gripped the weapon in his hand, his eyes showing unwillingness.

Originally, Sun Wukong might not have been his match; how could Sun Wukong's strength have improved so much in such a short time?

"Sun Wukong, you are stronger now, but I will definitely catch up." Nezha, stepping on the Wind Fire Wheels, had firm eyes; he would also continue to work hard and improve himself.

"Damn it." Li Jing's expression was ugly.

Because he understood that the stronger Sun Wukong's strength was, the smaller the possibility of him, Li Jing, wanting to take revenge for the humiliation Sun Wukong had brought him became.

"Sun Wukong." Marshal Tian Peng's eyes were somewhat worried.

Although the power Sun Wukong erupted with was indeed terrifying, this Tian Peng understood even better how strong Great Emperor Zhenwu's strength was.

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, one would not have a clear understanding.

But he, Tian Peng, had seen it with his own eyes in the past.

Back then, Tian Peng and Great Emperor Zhenwu were catching demons in the mortal world together, and they encountered several terrifying great demons, all of which were Da Luo-level demons.

Normally, encountering so many Da Luo demons, they would be dead.

But that time, Great Emperor Zhenwu erupted and, with his strength not yet at peak Da Luo, counter-killed those Da Luo demons.

At that time, Tian Peng was completely stunned.

It was precisely that battle that gave Tian Peng a very clear understanding of Great Emperor Zhenwu's strength.

The Zhenwu of the past could counter-kill Da Luo demons stronger than him; now, after countless years, Great Emperor Zhenwu's strength had become even more terrifying.

So even if Sun Wukong's strength surged, Tian Peng had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Boom..."

Finally, the two forces capable of destroying everything collided, producing explosive power and forming wisps of ripples.

Blinding white light permeated from it, and the heavenly soldiers and generals in the distance screamed.

This blinding light was not just a visual effect; it also had astonishing lethality to the soul.

"Attack..." Yang Jian said in a low voice upon seeing this scene.

If they didn't deal with Sun Wukong and these heavenly soldiers died under the aftermath of the power, that would truly be a joke.

"Good..." Nezha, Yang Jian, and other heavenly generals also came to their senses, and they each used their power to block the aftermath of Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Zhenwu's power.

Fortunately, they only needed to block one direction; otherwise, they might not have been enough to contend with this aftermath of power.

Suddenly.

The power of countless divine lights intertwining and exploding, a silver light flashed and disappeared.

"Ah..."

A scream resounded from within, and a blood-red figure turned into a stream of light and flew out.

Soon, the blood-red figure stood firm in the air, and looking closely, it was Sun Wukong, who had stimulated the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline.

One could see that Sun Wukong was now panting, and there was a huge wound on his body, the wound charred and burned.

That was caused by Great Emperor Zhenwu's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was extremely rigid and extremely yang.
