Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven-Chapter 1344 - 488: The New Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Realm
Their hearts were filled with terror, and they no longer had any courage to fight.
However, Sun Wukong obviously wouldn’t give them this chance.
Several figures appeared, blocking their path.
Ying Hook and others took action, intercepting and killing these four supreme beings.
A fierce battle unfolded, though it was not really fierce, but rather one-sided.
Under the witness of the holy beings of the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms, all five supreme beings were slain.
This left the great sects of the world in utter silence.
The True Person of Ten Thousand Stars and the others held great renown in the Cultivation World, even being famous powerhouses throughout the entire Three Realms.
Yet, they all perished at Huaguo Mountain.
The most tragic was the True Person of Ten Thousand Stars, who first attacked Huaguo Mountain, only to be swatted to death by the monkey with a single slap.
The rest were all cut down.
Only a few disciples below the level of supremes managed to escape, their hearts filled with dread.
In their minds, Huaguo Mountain instantly became a forbidden place, one never to be offended.
If even Huaguo Mountain is so powerful, just how vast is the strength of the Heavenly Court?
Realizing this, those ambitious powerhouses all withdrew.
The Three Realms have never lacked ambitious people, especially when Huaguo Mountain remained low-key, and the Heavenly Court acted with softness.
In their view, until they were pressured to the point of being unable to breathe, it did not count as having authority.
Now, the actions of Huaguo Mountain made them truly understand what heavenly majesty meant.
The True Person of Ten Thousand Stars was dead, and Li Feng and the others were also dead.
Five supremes had thus fallen.
And Sun Wukong only acted once at the beginning; he didn’t bother afterward, leaving the remaining people to be annihilated by those experts of Huaguo Mountain.
The Three Realms fell silent for a long time, as those ambitious powerhouses came to understand what heavenly majesty entailed.
The sects that used to frequently provoke the Heavenly Court no longer dared to cause trouble.
They finally understood that the Heavenly Court was not afraid of them, but rather, it disdained to pay them any attention.
If the Heavenly Court truly wanted to act against them, it could annihilate them with ease.
"The enemies of the Heavenly Court lie at higher places; what are you? Even the Heavenly Court at the Creation Realm can wipe you out, and you few supremes dare to provoke the Heavenly Court? How utterly ridiculous." These were the words of the Primordial Phoenix, her expression filled with disdain.
The Primordial Qilin, who usually avoids offending people, also remarked, "The strength of the Heavenly Court is unparalleled throughout ancient and modern times in the Three Realms. No era could challenge such might. You few nobodies dare to provoke the Heavenly Court and seek to contend with it, utterly unaware of the danger."
More supremes stepped forth, looking down on those newly ascended supremes.
Mostly, those newly ascended supremes dared not retort, as the ones speaking were veteran supremes. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
They were unsure about the strength of the Heavenly Court, but these veteran supremes were each extremely powerful and not to be trifled with.
With even these veteran supremes speaking so, they finally realized how naive they had been.
The death of five supremes brought complete silence to the Three Realms.
The Heavenly Court also displayed some strength, effortlessly wiping out a few leading sects, leaving no one from top to bottom.
This left those sects or races truly understanding the might of the Heavenly Court, shaken to the core.
The entire Three Realms fell utterly peaceful; apart from minor skirmishes, no one entertained thoughts of contending for supremacy anymore.
Even if someone did, it was buried deep in their heart, for saying it out loud would certainly bring ridicule from others.
No one dared to approach Huaguo Mountain looking for trouble, yet Fahai and others often ventured out.
At this time, Fahai had astonishingly advanced to the realm of supremacy, immensely powerful, having slain many malevolent figures.
The Three Realms grew increasingly peaceful, as if returning to the past, with no messy battles or ambitious schemers.
Buddhism and Daoism flourished, demon immortals wandered the mortal world, and the cultivation atmosphere throughout the Three Realms grew increasingly prosperous.
And at this time, the chaos in the Demon Realm finally came to an end.
A weakly human-demon rose from the competition, becoming the Heavenly Emperor, reigning supreme over the entire Demon Realm.
He also gained recognition from the Demon King, who believed his future achievements would surpass those of Haotian.
The human-demon’s name was Wang Xi, originally belonging to the Human Race, who later entered the Demon Dao.
In the Demon Realm, human-demons typically held the lowest status. Since their prowess in the Demon Dao was generally insufficient, and they lacked notable powerful figures, it was naturally difficult to hold any position in a realm governed by the law of the jungle.
Wang Xi’s emergence broke all of this.
His formidable strength suppressed all opponents, making him the Heavenly Emperor.
Moreover, Wang Xi was ambitious; he wanted not only to reign over the Demon Realm but also to set his sights on the Three Realms.
To Wang Xi, the Three Realms was his homeland, a place he wished to return to—not like before, when he was chased into the Demon Realm like a dog.
As a human-demon and the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Realm, his only way back was through sheer power.
Now, however, things were different; he had risen to power in the Three Realms, and the status of human-demons also rose significantly.
The Heavenly Court was aware of this news but wasn’t particularly concerned, seeing their adversary in the Demon King alone.
Without Creation Realm powerhouses, there was currently no way to crush them effortlessly.
Soon, the Demon Realm began taking action.
A few powerful figures from the Demon Realm entered the Three Realms, busy with unknown schemes.
The Heavenly Court immediately issued a warning to Wang Xi, advising restraint and not to court trouble.
"Though the Heavenly Court is very strong, I, Wang Xi, do not hold it in regard," Wang Xi said indifferently, with an aloof tone and unspeakable confidence.
He continued his actions without regard for the Heavenly Court.
As the Heavenly Emperor, he had ample confidence.
Plus, the Demon King had once told him some things, giving Wang Xi zero fear.
Suddenly, the previously scattered conflicts within the Three Realms all turned into confrontations with the Demon Realm.
The Heavenly Court stationed its army at the entrance to the Demon Realm, standing in opposition, occasionally clashing, sparking small-scale battles.
"My goal is to seize the Three Realms, to transform them into a paradise for my Demon Realm," Wang Xi declared within the Demon Realm.
The evil demons in the Demon Realm were suddenly agitated, their eyes bloodshot, eager to invade the Three Realms immediately.
Wang Xi wore a faint smile, watching the excited evil demons, an eerie glow flickering in his eyes.
At this point, Nezha also went to guard the entrance to the Demon Realm; with his restless nature, the peace in the Three Realms made him uncomfortable.
Only the Demon Realm could now satisfy his thirst for battle.
Many of the earlier skirmishes had been initiated by Nezha.
Of course, the results were fairly positive; although the Heavenly Court suffered some casualties, most losses were on the Demon Realm’s side.
Nezha had now become a thorn in the side of the Demon Realm.
Upon hearing Wang Xi’s words, Nezha sneered, with a new thought arising.
