In the huge alchemy furnace, there were piled with the bones of humans and monsters.

The bright red blood was so thick that it almost couldn't flow.

The monkey inside was causing havoc, swinging the golden hoop rod around.

"Jade Emperor, do you really think that with this broken furnace of yours, you can trap me, Sun Wukong? Once I get out, I will pull your tendons and peel your skin!"

The pill room was eerily quiet, with the Jade Emperor standing with a dark face, hands behind his back, and no one dared to touch his moldy head.

Taiyi waved his sleeve, and the flames grew higher.

The monkey had been roasted black all over, but his eyes were getting brighter.

Taiyi opened his mouth and spat out a set of armor—black bone armor, a purple-gold crown made of human skin, and cloud-walking shoes made of animal tendons.

The dark green juice kept dripping, and a nauseating stench instantly covered the entire hall.

This was the new body he had prepared for the monkey.

As soon as it appeared, all the immortals unconsciously took a step back.

Even though I was still two feet away from Taiyi, I couldn't help but feel a bone-chilling cold.

"Go!"

The armor flew into the alchemy furnace and headed straight for the monkey.

The monkey exclaimed, lifted his rod, and was about to strike.

But the armor was like a puddle of mud, couldn't be dispersed or smashed, sticking to him like taffy.

There was also a faint sound of crying.

Taiyi laughed triumphantly, but soon, his smile froze on his face.

The monkey's body sprayed out thousands of golden lights, easily dispersing this bizarre armor.

Taiyi quickly recited a spell to control the armor to attack again.

But it cowered in a corner of the alchemy furnace, shivering.

The monkey laughed, fiercely hit the golden hoop rod on the lid of the alchemy furnace, and jumped out.

The Jade Emperor spat out blood, fell to the ground, murmuring, "This monkey is becoming more and more powerful."

The monkey, once repressed for a long time, started a massacre as soon as he entered the group of "people", and tens of thousands of celestial soldiers and generals flew out, with severed limbs and arms hanging all over the Lingxiao Palace.

Yang Jian rushed up with the Hellhound, with black flames burning on his trident.

The monkey swept with his big rod, breaking Yang Jian's waist in one blow!

Erlang Shen, who used to be on par with the monkey, couldn't even last a move against him today!

Seeing this, the morale of the gods was completely crushed.

The monkey leaned on the golden hoop rod, beckoned to us, and said:

"Anyone else? Come on! Bring it on!!!"

He tilted his head and looked at us, his eyes full of disdain.

No one dared to provoke him again, and the gods slowly retreated.

Li Jing summoned his pagoda, gritted his teeth, and charged forward.

But the monkey smashed his skull with one blow.

The pagoda exploded, and the ground was covered with insect eggs.

It was all over in just one move.

The Jade Emperor went mad: "Go and fetch the Buddha! Fetch the Buddha!"

He yelled, "Kill this monkey!"

A giant eye opened in the sky, and the Buddha looked down at him coldly.

The monkey grinned, pointing at him and said, "I hope you can take a beating, don't be like them, soft like tofu!"

The Buddha snorted coldly, stretched out a giant hand, and the black gas in the sky condensed into a huge beam of light, shooting towards the monkey.

Without flinching, the monkey covered his whole body in a protective golden light. As soon as the black gas touched it, it dissipated.

The monkey flicked his ear and said, "Not bad, but not enough, come again!"

Moho Qing, closest to the monkey, tried to sneak attack. He pulled out the Azure Cloud Sword and stabbed towards the monkey's back.

But before he could get close, he was splashed by the sparks from the battle between the golden light and the black gas, and was blasted to pieces.

The Buddha became unusually solemn. He clasped his hands together and silently recited a mantra.

A huge Dharma image appeared behind him, a dark cloud of mist surging with countless tentacles, and a sticky black liquid fell from the sky, where nothing could grow.

The Jade Emperor shouted, but it was too late.

Qianli Yan covered his eyes, wailing on the ground, with blood overflowing from his fingers.

The Buddha tore off his left hand, threw it with force, and the giant hand, like a mountain, pressed down towards the monkey.

The monkey also put away his smile and flew to meet it.

They fought for forty-nine days, still unable to determine a winner.

The monkey became more and more courageous, while the Buddha seemed to be slightly on the decline here.

Bean-sized drops of sweat hung all over his forehead, and the wound from the severed hand had scabbed over, with a small sprout growing back.

The arhats watched this scene with furrowed brows.

Even the Jade Emperor couldn't help but express his worry, "Could it be that even the Buddha can't subdue him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a "pu" sound, the monkey passed through with a palm strike, raised his big rod, and smashed it down at the Buddha!

As the smoke cleared, the monkey gasped for breath, saying, "So, this is all you got."

Wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Buddha let out an androgynous laughter, "Well done, you rowdy monkey, you have indeed gotten more skilled. Tian Peng!"

Suddenly, he called my name, and I was momentarily stunned but then reacted to what the Jade Emperor had told me before.

He wanted me to go up? But I can't defeat this monkey.

Just as I was confused, the huge tentacles of the Buddha had already surrounded me.

The foul-smelling liquid on my body, slippery and greasy, made me nauseous.

When the monkey saw me, he looked puzzled, as if he remembered something and stared at me in a daze.

The Buddha's index finger suddenly fell on my forehead, and a sharp pain quickly spread throughout my body.

I couldn't help but scream in pain, and my vision blurred, feeling my soul being torn in half.

At the same time, a blue aura emanated from my whole body, thin as silk, drawn by the Buddha, and swept towards the monkey.

Strangely, the monkey's strong protective golden light dissipated silently when it touched the aura.

The blue aura enveloped the monkey's entire body, slowly seeping into his body.

The monkey calmed down, his eyes filled with confusion.

The Buddha chuckled, "As expected."

Then, he threw out the Vajra.

This time, the monkey didn't resist, allowing the Vajra to trap his head, and the dark energy rushed into his eyes.

"I will give you a task, go to Chang'an to escort a monk named Tang Sanzang to the Western Heaven for the scriptures," the Buddha said, "Only by doing so can you cleanse your sins."

The monkey nodded blankly, like a walking corpse.

I thought of Nezha.

But why me?
