Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage

Sun Wukong was just about to leave the Western Heavenly Buddha Land when he was intercepted by Indra leading another nineteen heavens from the Buddhist Sect.

Sun Wukong shouted, "Emperor Gou Chen, you’re here to block your Grandfather Sun again!"

Indra laughed oddly, "Now, I am no longer Emperor Gou Chen. I have rejoined the Buddhist Sect and am in charge of the twenty heavens."

Sun Wukong was extremely annoyed, but seeing that the twenty men were all formidable, how could he dare to fight recklessly? With a spell cast from his hand and a murmured incantation in his heart, he performed a somersault to escape, but how could Indra let him off so easily? As the twenty heavens raised a bodhi seed in their hands, the twenty seeds were offered to the sky and instantly transformed into a sky-covering net that surrounded Sun Wukong in the center, trapping him.

"Asking for a beating!" Sun Wukong yelled, swinging his Ruyi Jingu Bang that produced a skyful of stick shadows raining down.

Dhritarashtra, Vaisravana, Virupaksa, and Virudhaka then chanted their spells, and the sky net immediately tightened, blocking the myriad stick shadows inside the heavenly net!

Originally, the Four Heavenly Kings had betrayed the Buddhist Sect and defected to the Jade Emperor, but now the Buddhist Sect had chosen four new Heavenly Kings from among the Vajra Arhats.

Sun Wukong was trapped and struggling to escape when suddenly a sword light fell from the sky, entwining a fire dragon—Ying Zheng!

The First Emperor unleashed the Son of Heaven Sword technique. As the fire dragon descended from the high heavens, it entangled the heavenly net in a frenzy of slaughter.

The twenty heavens were shocked as they saw the heavenly net about to be torn open, but just then Indra uttered a light command, and a Five Elements Cauldron was cast toward Ying Zheng’s Niwan Palace.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to retreat, landing a strike on the Five Elements Cauldron with his sword and using the impact to fly backwards.
