The God of War could become stronger from battle because he could infuse the battle intent of the outside world into his own strength.
The more battles there were, the more battle intent the God of War would feel.
However, the North Star Emperor could sense that the humans were overwhelmingly supporting the Monkey King.
The North Star Emperor knew that the Three Realms had been changed.
The Monkey King understood this as well.
He had come into contact with the God of War's immortal position and he knew that the North Star Emperor would eventually choose him.
This was the outcome of the immortal position.
"The time has come."
The Buddha's actions meant that the time had come for the Monkey King.
Light shone from the Myriad Spirit Diagram behind him and gushed out. In an instant, it formed a river of light that lit up the sky.
The Buddha had no other way out.
"Excellent."
The Buddha stood up from the lotus platform.
He had wanted the North Star Emperor to help the spiritual mountain but failed.
The Jingu Bang appeared in the Monkey King's hand.
"Heavenly Venerables, bring the Great Immortal and the rest away."
The Monkey King said.
Qing Hua and the North Star Emperor nodded. Light flew out from their bodies and brought Zhen Yuan Daisen, Daji, and the rest away from the spiritual mountain.
The Golden Cicada remained on the spot.
"Golden Cicada, leave the spiritual mountain too."
The Buddha said.
The Golden Cicada shook his head.
"This battle has nothing to do with you. Leave immediately!"
The Buddha said.
The Golden Cicada was a possibility for the Buddhists. He did not want to die here.
"… Yes, Your Majesty."
Golden Cicada sighed, turned around, and flew away.
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual mountain was left with the Monkey King and the rest facing the Buddhists.
The Jingu Bang in the Monkey King's hand vibrated excitedly. The sound formed a shockwave in the sky, causing the expressions of the nearby Bodhisattvas to change.
"What treasure is this rod?"
Bodhisattva Lingji's face turned pale. The sound of the Jingu Bang made him tremble. Even his soul was trembling.
"Samantabhadra, what's the secret to fighting the Monkey King?"
He asked the knowledgeable Samantabhadra.
"There are two secrets."
Samantabhadra said seriously, "Don't look him in the eye."
"Eye to eye?"
"The immortals all say that his eyes are poisonous, and that looking at him will cause one's mind to waver."
Samantabhadra said.
"Ah!"
Bodhisattva Lingji was shocked: "What about the other one?"
"Stay away."
"What?"
"That Jingu Bang is extremely powerful. Anyone who touches it will be smashed to pieces."
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva replied, "Why don't we hide further away and avoid its sharp edge?"
Bodhisattva Lingji felt that it was very reasonable and quietly took a few steps back.
In the next moment, Monkey King raised his staff.
That was the signal for war.
Emperor Qing Hua and the North Star God retreated behind him.
Immediately after, Bodhisattva Lingji saw Monkey King waving his hand with all his might, and raging flames swept over.
"Block it!"
The five hundred arhats spread out in all directions in the sky. Buddha's light bloomed and connected into a distinct layer of human flesh light barrier.
Then, a dazzling light exploded in their field of vision.
When the raging flames swept over the barrier of light, the five hundred arhats were like a blooming epiphyllum, instantly becoming a blinding flash of light.
"It's over. What a worthless death."
This thought appeared in Bodhisattva Lingji's mind.
Without any resistance, Monkey King's raging flames also engulfed him.
With just a single strike, all of the immortals and buddhas in the sky were engulfed by the boundless raging flames.
In the darkness of the night, all of the cultivators in the four continents could see the raging flames sweeping through the sky.
A huge ring of flames spread out from the spirit mountain, and the flames illuminated the entire sky red.
"My King is so powerful."
Daji, who had just left the spirit mountain, covered her eyes.
Qing Yuanzi's eyes were pierced by the light, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.
"We have to stay away from it."
Zhen Yuan Daisen swept his sleeves and hid the two of them in his sleeves before quickly flying away from the spirit mountain.
On Flower Fruit Mountain, the people of Myriad Spirit had all noticed the raging flames.
They had witnessed the power of Monkey King's staff in the Little World.
"My King is swinging his staff."
The Demon Kings said with some joy, "He's starting to get serious."
Their confidence in Monkey King had long been deeply rooted in the battles they had gone through.
In the eyes of the Demon Kings, there was no difficulty that Monkey King couldn't solve through battle.
"Second King, we have to speed up our attacks as well!"
The Demon Kings turned their gazes to Ao Luan, only to see Ao Luan lowering her head and stroking her wristband with a downcast expression.
"Why are you unhappy, Second King?"
The Demon Kings asked.
"I'm not unhappy."
Ao Luan shook her head and looked towards the west. "I'm just a little worried …"
Just like the Demon Kings, she believed that Monkey King would emerge victorious.
She wasn't worried that Monkey King would fail, but in this world, no one knew better than her what level Monkey King had reached on the Myriad Spirit Heavenly Dao.
If Monkey King took another step forward, he would become a god among gods.
That was a realm where even words would become laws, and he would be omnipotent.
But if it wasn't necessary, Ao Luan didn't want him to take this step.
That was an extremely lonely realm.
Ao Luan didn't want Monkey King to feel lonely.
Mount Numinous. The blazing flames that swept across the sky soon disappeared.
Bodhisattva Lingji woke up from the heart-wrenching pain and subconsciously touched her body. She didn't seem to be injured.
Everyone opened their eyes and discovered that there was a layer of light surrounding their bodies.
That layer of light had protected them.
"I'm fine."
The five hundred arhats revealed joy. "We are still alive."
The others also revealed expressions of having survived a calamity.
"Thank you, Buddha."
They said to the Buddha.
"Amitabha."
The Buddha put his palms together, and countless rays of light surrounded him like stars in the sky, protecting everyone.
The Monkey King's golden eyes reflected these rays of light. The Buddha was very strong, and no one knew how strong he was. But now, he was displaying his strength for the first time.
The Monkey King's staff strike could inflict heavy damage to the entire Mount Numinous, but it was easily blocked by the Buddha.
"He's not easy to deal with."
Emperor Qing Hua and the North Star God both wore grave expressions.
However, the Monkey King chuckled lightly.
"Ah, that's how it should be …"
An expression of joy appeared in the Monkey King's eyes.
He flew high into the air with scorching battle intent in his eyes. That battle intent ignited and formed a vortex of flames around the Monkey King.
The North Star God faltered slightly upon seeing this before a smile appeared on his face.
Although it was very difficult to choose a side, the North Star God discovered that perhaps the Monkey King was more to his liking than the Jade Emperor.
This was a Celestial Emperor who was even more fanatical than him.
At times, he was as calm as the ocean, at other times, he was as scorching as fire — — these two peculiar traits converged on the Monkey King's body.
The North Star God didn't dislike him.
The Buddha could sense the Monkey King's battle intent.
"A 'Vajra, Kasyapa, I want to fight the Monkey King."
The Buddha said, "Stop the two Heavenly Venerables."
"This …"
A 'Vajra and Kasyapa glanced at one another. No matter how powerful they were, there was no way they could stop those two monsters!
"The eight Bodhisattvas and the Dipankara Buddha will help you."
The Ancestral Buddha added.
Only then did the two Buddhas happily accept the order.
