Chapter 1279: Chapter 424: Against the Eastern Emperor
The person who came was actually the Senior Commander-in-Chief, the right-hand man of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
“What are you looking for Old Sun for?”
“To defect from darkness to light.”
The Senior Commander-in-Chief replied.
Sun Wukong: “…”
He stared at the Senior Commander-in-Chief strangely, unable to believe it at all.
Sun Wukong knew how loyal the Senior Commander-in-Chief was to Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
To say that the Senior Commander-in-Chief would betray Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Sun Wukong couldn’t believe it.
But, it happened, the Senior Commander-in-Chief came to find him, saying he wanted to defect from darkness to light.
Sun Wukong found it amusing and teased: “Senior Commander-in-Chief, are you joking with Old Sun, do you think Old Sun would believe you?”
The Senior Commander-in-Chief earnestly said: “Great Saint, although I am a subordinate of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, I am also a living being of the Three Realms. Eastern Emperor Tai Yi acts against justice, colluding with the true enemy of the Three Realms, and as beings of the Three Realms, we naturally have our choices.”
Sun Wukong stared at the Senior Commander-in-Chief, without speaking.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief smiled bitterly and said: “To be honest with the Great Saint, for this reason, His Majesty has developed a murderous intent towards me.”
Now it was understood.
There is righteousness, but the Senior Commander-in-Chief is more in it for self-preservation.
“I accept your submission, let’s head to the Heavenly Court together.”
Sun Wukong agreed directly.
“Thank you, Great Saint. By the way, there’s also Shao Siming, we, as husband and wife, will both defect to the Heavenly Court together.”
After saying this, the Senior Commander-in-Chief waved his hand, releasing Shao Siming.
Seeing Sun Wukong, Shao Siming felt a bit awkward. After all, they used to be enemies, and now she had to rely on Sun Wukong to survive.
This shift in situation made Shao Siming quite uncomfortable.
But she knew very well that to survive, she had to do this and swallow her pride.
Sun Wukong did not expect even Shao Siming to come.
It seemed the Senior Commander-in-Chief indeed had a tough time by Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s side.
“Alright, welcome both of you to join the Heavenly Court.”
Sun Wukong smiled and said.
Upon seeing Sun Wukong agree, the two felt assured.
They knew that as long as Sun Wukong nodded, it meant Great Emperor Ziwei also agreed.
The relationship between these two could be described as very close.
The two revealed expressions of joy and breathed a sigh of relief, having been worried that Sun Wukong would not accept them, considering they had fought fiercely before.
Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong agreed so readily, willing to let them join the Heavenly Court.
They followed Sun Wukong and headed towards the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, a terrifying Qi spread towards them, aiming to lock onto them.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, he discovered the tracks of the two and was directly enraged.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi did not expect that the Senior Commander-in-Chief, who was pledging loyalty just a moment ago, would defect in the next moment.
This filled him with anger, almost wanting to devour the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
Thus, he chased directly after them. Upon seeing the Senior Commander-in-Chief and Shao Siming, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi attacked immediately.
The Eastern Emperor Bell appeared, controlled in his hands, then expanded infinitely, directly attempting to suppress the three.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief was horrified, under the majesty of the Eastern Emperor, he even forgot to make a move.
As for Shao Siming, she was trembling even more.
Facing the enraged Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, being his former subjects, even though they were supreme strongmen, it was difficult for them to muster the courage to resist.
Sun Wukong made a move, swinging the Jingu Bang forcefully.
Clang.
The Eastern Emperor Bell was blocked, and Sun Wukong was also pushed back.
He protected the Senior Commander-in-Chief and Shao Siming, with subtle golden light flashing in his eyes.
“Tai Yi, what do you intend to do?”
Sun Wukong demanded.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression was cold, full of killing intent, spoke no words, and attacked again.
The betrayal of the Senior Commander-in-Chief completely infuriated him, leaving no room for questioning.
Mana surged on the Eastern Emperor Bell, shaking Heaven and Earth throughout time.
Sun Wukong’s expression changed slightly, knowing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was in a furious rage, determined to kill.
Lord of the Clouds and others looked in this direction with horror, inwardly blaming the Senior Commander-in-Chief for foolishness.
However, they dared not intervene.
The furious Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was ruthless, and anyone who dared to stop him would be slain.
Although they did not step forward to assist, they would not try to dissuade Eastern Emperor Tai Yi either.
Mainly because the Senior Commander-in-Chief indeed betrayed, if they stepped in to stop him, they might also be considered traitors.
By then, perhaps His Majesty would even kill them for stepping forward.
Thinking this, everyone shrank back.
In such matters, it’s better to watch from the sidelines.
“Do you think I fear you?”
Sun Wukong shouted sternly, the Jingu Bang sweeping across, showing no fear.
He might not defeat the opponent, but it wasn’t easy for the Heavenly Emperor to capture him.
Sun Wukong wanted to take this opportunity to have a good fight with Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, to show him that even a Heavenly Emperor couldn’t act tyrannically within the Three Realms.
Thinking this, Sun Wukong initiated the attack.
He smashed forward, confronting the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Clang.
A loud noise erupted, Chaos Qi surged.
Sun Wukong retreated, eyes glinting with cold light, staring at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, charging forward again.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s anger grew, also shocked by the strength of Sun Wukong.
After a period of time, the opponent improved again.
The recent attack was almost nearing that of Lord of the Clouds.
Once Sun Wukong became a Supreme, his fighting power might directly chase the Heavenly Emperor.
Although not equal to the true Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn’t be much weaker than a strongman like Lord of the Clouds.
Given more time, rivaling the strength of the Heavenly Emperor wouldn’t be a problem.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s face sank, his intent to kill strengthened.
Even if he couldn’t kill the Senior Commander-in-Chief today, eliminating Sun Wukong in a short time wouldn’t be a bad outcome.
Sun Wukong’s growth was alarmingly terrifying.
If he were allowed to continue growing, he would inevitably become a threat in the future.
The Heavenly Court couldn’t own such a potentially limitless strongman.
Thinking this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi acted.
He lunged at Sun Wukong, the Eastern Emperor Bell vibrating, controlling time and space from past to future, Sun Wukong sensed himself being torn by the Power of Time, about to be shredded.
This was the Divine Skills of Eastern Emperor, performed with the Eastern Emperor Bell, involving the Realm of Time.
The Divine Skills of the Realm of Time were undoubtedly among the most mysterious forces in the world.
Sun Wukong dared not be careless, he directly channeled mana from the Primordial Demonic Qi, then unleashed a strike.
Sun Wukong’s aura soared, reaching an astonishing level.
He roared to the sky, attacked directly.
The Jingu Bang carried immense mana, shattering Heaven and Earth.
Sun Wukong aimed at the Eastern Emperor Bell, knowing well that the Power of Time was elusive, yet truly existed.
Even with mana, he couldn’t completely break through the Power of Time, hence, he had to target its medium, the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Sun Wukong used the Jingu Bang to confront the Eastern Emperor Bell directly, adopting a method that risked mutual destruction.
Clang.
In an instant, the Jingu Bang and the Eastern Emperor Bell collided several times.
The tremendous force caused the Eastern Emperor Bell to tremble slightly.
Sun Wukong’s palm was shattered, but his expression remained unchanged, continuing to swing the Jingu Bang, with even stronger attacks.
