Chapter 103 - 101: A Great Fire Engulfs the Celestial Palace
Wukong caused Havoc in Heaven, and after defeating Wang Lingguan, thirty-six Thunder Generals from the Thunder Department arrived.
Wukong had already received instructions from Laojun. He fought with no reservations, not worrying about offending anyone. After all, he was destined to be suppressed by Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain. So, he might as well enjoy the battle rather than endure five hundred years of solitude! Meanwhile, the Daoist Equal to Heaven could carefully devise his plans.
During the fight with Yang Jian and Daoist Equal to Heaven, he had already sent his third Primordial Spirit into Daoist Equal to Heaven’s body. Should he find the Six-Eared Macaque, he would kill it and then take over its physical body to seize the initiative during the Journey to the West!
At this moment, Jiao Demon King was still in seclusion, and his five brothers were indeed searching for the Six-Eared Macaque quietly, but without any success. Wukong wondered if maybe the Six-Eared Macaque had not yet been born, or Tathagata had hidden it away.
There the thirty-six Thunder Generals of the Thunder Department arranged their formation and shouted, "Demon Monkey, witness the thunder!"
The thirty-six thunder generals formed the Heavenly Stars Formation, and each revealed a Thunder Sword in hand. These Thunder Swords, forged from Heavenly Thunder, possessed extraordinary power. They relied on these swords to unleash thunder. Officials from various departments would refine a Magical Treasure for themselves. For example, the Constellations had forged the Constellation Sword to enhance their Divine Skills with their Dharma Swords.
A terrifying Divine Thunder descended from the sky. Holding the Jingu Bang, Wukong met it head-on. With a swing of his staff, a thunderous boom echoed, like two meteors colliding. Sparks of gold splattered in all directions, scattering the lightning.
"Quick! This demon monkey is formidable, and we cannot subdue him easily. Strike him with more thunderbolts!" cried Wang Lingguan.
The thirty-six Thunder Generals were also startled, not expecting Wukong to be so powerful that he dispersed their massive thunderbolt with a single blow.
Wukong sneered, "You bunch of cowards, couldn’t you see that even the Jade Emperor failed to kill your grandfather on the Immortal Slaying Stage? Yet here you are, overestimating yourselves, asking for a beating?"
All thirty-six Thunder Generals poured their strength into their Thunder Swords and unleashed them. Sword after sword of thunderbolts came roaring, like divine dragons. Wukong’s body shimmered, and he transformed into a being with three heads and six arms, each hand wielding a Magical Treasure, moving with an impenetrable rhythm. The Thunder Swords were all blocked from getting anywhere near him.
