Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 383 - 377: Thrashing the Three Great Demon Kings [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1
Sha Chen frowned slightly. He was afraid that if he damaged the Green Lion’s teeth, Tongtian Hierarch would feel humiliated and would take it out on him.
But in the eyes of others, it was entirely different. The Six-toothed White Elephant laughed triumphantly, "Scared? It’s useless. Big Brother once swallowed a million celestial soldiers and generals in one bite. Biting off your arm would be child’s play."
Golden Winged Dapeng chuckled, "Big Brother, remember to leave a leg for me." But their laughter soon died.
When the Green Lion bit into Sha Chen, it felt as though it were biting into rubber. It was completely unable to tear through, only to find Sha Chen’s muscles had suddenly hardened. At that moment, it felt as if all its teeth were shattering. Releasing its grip, the Green Lion’s teeth fell out one by one, its mouth filled with fresh blood. It recoiled in horror, utterly shocked. Even the steel saber shattered as well, yet Sha Chen remained completely unharmed.
The Green Lion was confounded, the Six-toothed White Elephant was confounded, and Golden Winged Dapeng was also confounded. The assembled immortals and demons were equally dumbfounded. They all knew how fearsome the Green Lion was—a Pinnacle Da Luo with an exceptionally powerful physique. Able to swallow a million celestial soldiers and generals in one gulp, its maw was as vast as a city, its teeth as sharp as divine weapons. Yet, it couldn’t bite through Sha Chen and had instead shattered its own teeth. It was impossible, simply inconceivable.
Sha Chen patted his arm where it had been bitten and looked at the Green Lion, saying, "Can’t you be a little more impressive? The way you are now, I can’t even give you a sporting chance."
Anger and fear warred within the Green Lion, but fear was the greater part. It continued to back away, looking to flee. But Sha Chen reached out his hand and grabbed the Green Lion’s head, holding it as easily as one might pinch a kitten.
Seeing this, the Six-toothed White Elephant swung its long trunk, which came whipping toward him. It bellowed, "Release my Big Brother!"
The trunk swept across, as though it could shatter space itself, whipping up towering waves on the Flowing Sand River. One could imagine the enormous power contained within that long trunk. But this trunk of immense power was easily caught by Sha Chen, who then pulled the entire Six-toothed White Elephant over and began thrashing it against the river surface and ground like a whip.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
The Six-toothed White Elephant, its trunk seized by Sha Chen, instantly lost its balance and was tossed around like a toy. It was relentlessly smashed against the ground and river surface, its entire body battered and bloodied. It was terrified beyond belief, as if death itself were upon it. It had not anticipated that Sha Chen would possess such immense strength and such vast Divine Powers. Wasn’t he an immortal? How could he possess such formidable Divine Power? Terrified, the Six-toothed White Elephant felt utterly hopeless.
The crowd of celestials and demons recoiled in fear; some grew weak at the knees. Some were so terrified they wet themselves.
"How can his physical body be so strong, his strength so terrifying? Perhaps he has already cultivated a Primeval Chaos Law Body?"
"Impossible, impossible! How can his body be so domineering, his strength so terrifying? How did he manage to cultivate to this extent?"
"HISS! Such terrifying power! A Primeval Chaos Law Body might only be this strong! Aside from the Witch Clan, who else has ever cultivated their physical body to the Primeval Chaos Law Body realm?"
The celestials and demons were all utterly aghast and trembling with fear.
「In the far distance」
Fuhu Arhat, the instigator who had incited the three Great Demon Kings to besiege the Flowing Sand River, watched this scene, utterly stupefied. "How is he so strong? How is this possible? This is a disaster! If the Green Lion and Bai Xiang die here at the Flowing Sand River, Manjushri and Samantabhadra will surely hold me accountable."
At that moment, a figure appeared. It was Maitreya Buddha, who said indifferently, "What’s there to fear? There’s still Golden Winged Dapeng. I shall proceed to the Flowing Sand River at once." "Heh, Sha Chen rarely emerges from the Flowing Sand River. This is the perfect opportunity; I’ll go and capture him myself."
Maitreya Buddha vanished on the spot and rushed toward the Flowing Sand River. His eyes were filled with rage and ferocity, not the slightest compassion present. Previously, he had been humiliated by Sha Chen, angered to the extreme, and had even had the Post-Heaven Human Seed Bag snatched from him in person, suffering heavy losses. His bell-striking attendant had also died at Sha Chen’s hands; he had lost all face and dignity. Even he had been forced to ally with Ancient Buddha Ran Deng; otherwise, he could not have withstood the pressure from Tathagata. Having with great difficulty tricked the three Great Demon Kings into descending the mountain to confront Sha Chen, now that Sha Chen had emerged, he naturally intended to act personally, making success all the more certain.
「Flowing Sand River」
Sha Chen held the Six-toothed White Elephant, now a mangled mess, in one hand and the now-toothless Green-haired Lion in the other. He looked like a hunter returning with two small kittens as his quarry. The Green Lion and Bai Xiang monsters had no fight left in them; Sha Chen had shattered their spirits and extinguished any will to fight.
Golden Winged Dapeng saw this from the air, aghast fury filling him, his eyes flickering with disbelief. With a loud shout, holding the Square Sky Halberd, he dived from the sky, thrusting towards Sha Chen.
Sha Chen looked up at Golden Winged Dapeng, feeling the tremendous force from the Square Sky Halberd, his expression turned slightly grave. Indeed, it was the physical body and mana of a Quasi-Saint, worthy of being a descendant of the phoenix.
Sha Chen easily manifested his form with three heads and twelve arms. While still holding the Green Lion and Bai Xiang, his remaining ten hands were free to form incantation seals and wield Magical Tools. One hand struck, thunder gathering in its palm. Another hand struck, flames erupting from its palm. One fist hurled forward, wind swirling around it. One finger pointed, a crescent blade condensed from sand at its tip...
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH.
Golden Winged Dapeng felt the boundless mana and Great Divine Power emanating from Sha Chen and retreated repeatedly. His speed was incredible, allowing him to easily evade Sha Chen’s volley of Divine Powers. Hovering in the distant air, he was still shaken.
He shouted, "Sha Chen, release my two brothers!"
Sha Chen said, "If you have the ability, come and rescue them."
Golden Winged Dapeng angrily retorted, "You’re going too far! Do you really think I can’t defeat you?"
Then he immediately dived down, his wings slashing countless rays of divine light, intending to dice Sha Chen into bloody pieces.
Against anyone else, Sha Chen would have used the Green Lion and Bai Xiang as shields. Unfortunately, they were disciples of Tongtian Hierarch, a line Sha Chen dared not cross. He just snorted coldly, grabbed the Tian Luo Treasure Cover, and held it directly in front of him, nullifying all of Golden Winged Dapeng’s Divine Powers.
Golden Winged Dapeng immediately changed his strategy, circling around, and a pillar of golden divine light descended.
Sha Chen furrowed his brows. Truthfully, he could have ignored it entirely. Not even the Kunpeng could breach the Tian Luo Treasure Cover, let alone the comparatively weaker Golden Winged Dapeng. But he decided to teach Golden Winged Dapeng a lesson he would never forget, and also to show the assembled immortals and demons that he was not to be trifled with.
Sha Chen raised his hand and struck with his palm.
Golden Winged Dapeng sneered, "Ridiculous! You dare to catch my Heaven-Piercing Divine Pillar with your bare hands? Your hand will be crippled!"
WHAM!
It was the Heavenly Splitting Palm. As Sha Chen struck, the golden light vanished instantly. The overwhelming force of the palm continued towards Golden Winged Dapeng, sending him flying backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood, utterly horrified. That single palm strike had nearly cost Golden Winged Dapeng half his life.
Yet Sha Chen didn’t stop. In his many hands, he brandished an arsenal: the Post-Heaven Human Seed Bag, the Giant Que Sword, the Mountain Splitting Axe, the Golden Dragon Scissors, the Tian Luo Treasure Cover, the Eight-Treasure Water Tower, the Plantain Fan, the Sky Shaking Bow, and the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow.
He actually had many more Magical Tools, but he did not take them out. For example, he had not brought out the Taiqing Colored Glaze Cup, the Mystic Artifact of The Nine Orifices, the Apricot Yellow Flag of Wuji, the Wanli Soul Chasing Mirror, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, and the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. First, there was no need. Second, he did not want to expose too much. Many others were lent to his followers and not currently with him, but in truth, Sha Chen possessed a vast collection of Magical Tools.
Seeing Sha Chen in such a state, Golden Winged Dapeng was dumbfounded. How could he possess so many Magical Tools?
Then, a wave of greed washed over him. If he could defeat Sha Chen, or directly take all these Magical Tools, wouldn’t they all be his?
Golden Winged Dapeng’s eyes gleamed as he took out a vase—the very Yin-Yang Eye Qi Vase. After taking out the Yin-Yang Eye Qi Vase, Golden Winged Dapeng immediately threw it out, shouting loudly, "Sha Chen, I call your name! Do you dare to answer?"
Sha Chen did not respond. Instead, he directly threw out the Dragon Binding Rope, entangling the Yin-Yang Eye Qi Vase, and then a sweep of the Plantain Fan sent Golden Winged Dapeng flying.
However, this adversary was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he flew back. Seeing Sha Chen about to take away the Yin-Yang Eye Qi Vase, Golden Winged Dapeng, aghast and enraged, stretched out his hand, attempting to snatch it back. But he was struck by an axe blow from Sha Chen. That was the Mountain Splitting Axe; no matter how indestructible Golden Winged Dapeng’s body was, he dared not meet it head-on.
Frightened, he retreated repeatedly, and then Sha Chen snatched the Yin-Yang Eye Qi Vase. At the same time, Sha Chen, wielding the Sky Shaking Bow and the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow, aimed directly at Golden Winged Dapeng.
Terrified, Golden Winged Dapeng turned to flee. But Sha Chen put away the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow. He drew the Sky Shaking Bow. TWANG! He released not an arrow, but a streak of pure light from the bowstring.
Golden Winged Dapeng, like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring, flew erratically, nearly plummeting from the sky.
Sha Chen silently recited a spell, and the Dragon Binding Rope flew over, binding Golden Winged Dapeng, while the Undefined Flying Rings clamped onto his wings, pinioning him and preventing flight. Sha Chen then formed a hand seal for the Drawing Ground into Prison Divine Power, trapping Golden Winged Dapeng. He then opened the Post-Heaven Human Seed Bag and sucked him inside.
After taking care of all this, Sha Chen was about to turn and leave. But who could have predicted it? At that moment, the fallen Square Sky Halberd, possessing a spirit of its own, suddenly pierced the Post-Heaven Human Seed Bag, freeing Golden Winged Dapeng.
Sha Chen, upon seeing this, was momentarily stunned.
Golden Winged Dapeng sneered, "Sha Chen, I bet you didn’t expect that! I possess such a sentient Magical Tool!"
Sha Chen chuckled, "Not anymore, you don’t." Then he reached out, grabbed the Square Sky Halberd, and with an axe strike, shattered it into two pieces right before Golden Winged Dapeng’s eyes.
Golden Winged Dapeng suffered a backlash, vomiting a mouthful of blood. Grimly enduring the intense pain, he tried to flee. But Sha Chen swept up his sleeve, activating Universe in the Sleeve, and swept him into its folds, incidentally collecting the Green Lion and Bai Xiang as well.
With that, the job was done. Sha Chen saw that all the immortals and demons were shocked, hiding far away, who wished to approach but dared not. He also saw, among the distant crowd of demons, the three rhino demons who had previously caused trouble, as well as Jinmaohou and his ilk. All of them were immensely shocked and didn’t dare to approach.
Sha Chen grinned, took out the Plantain Fan, and from a hundred thousand li away, with a flick of the fan, he sent them all tumbling through the air. He then laughed heartily and turned to return to the Flowing Sand River Cave.
But from a great distance came Buddhist chants, and ten thousand li away, Buddha-light suddenly flared. It was Maitreya Buddha who had arrived. He bellowed, "Sha Chen, cease your rampage! Release the Auspicious Beasts of our Buddhism!"
