Chapter 1166: Chapter 360: Destroying Doushuai Temple (Part 3)
After speaking, the Eastern King bid farewell to everyone and left directly.
Sun Wukong knew that the Eastern King was taking things seriously.
Judging by his demeanor, if these matters truly lay beyond the Three Pure Ones’ control, the Eastern King’s next move would definitely involve striking down the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, nipping the threat in the bud.
"Wukong, what’s happened? Is it related to the outside world?"
Zhenyuan asked.
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Yes, there are some matters that, without the Eastern King’s consent, I can’t tell everyone just yet. Please forgive me."
The identity of the Eastern King is not of the current living beings of the Three Realms, but from a previous world, reputed to be the strongest among realms.
Of course, he could at most be considered ancient, sharing the same origin with the living beings of the Three Realms.
The Three Realms are a continuation of that strongest realm, so naturally, there is no difference between the Eastern King and the living beings of the Three Realms.
He considers the Three Realms as a continuation of the strongest realm, which is why he’s so serious and truly tense.
Under normal circumstances, nothing could possibly make the Eastern King so tense.
With such events occurring, everyone’s mood for drinking diminished significantly, and they all started discussing.
The Queen Mother was noble and graceful, but also full of charm.
Her phoenix eyes held affection as she gazed at Sun Wukong, speaking to him through sound transmission.
"Why don’t I just stay at Huaguo Mountain? I find it quite nice here, and I can see you every day."
"How come you’re still with a Body of Primordial Yang? Could it be those two girls are dull and uninspired? Otherwise, I’ll lend you a hand tonight."
"Wukong, do you think I’m beautiful?"
Sun Wukong: "..."
He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If anyone heard the Queen Mother’s sound transmission, they’d probably have their eyes bulge out.
Is this really what the noble and graceful Queen Mother said?
Seeing Sun Wukong not respond, the Queen Mother giggled.
"I’m teasing you. Look at you getting scared. Great Saint, could it be that you’re not up to it?"
The Queen Mother’s expression was a bit peculiar.
Sun Wukong’s face almost turned black. How could a true man be said to be incapable?
He was about to retort, thoughts turning in his mind that if this woman dared to act so arrogantly, perhaps tonight he should just conquer her.
Right at that moment, two terrifying auras erupted violently.
Everyone was stunned; peerless warriors were exchanging blows.
Their Divine Thought soared across, probing the scene.
At this time, Doushuai Temple was already blown apart, with Lord Taishang and the Eastern King in fierce combat.
The Eastern King’s power was formidable, darting about aggressively, looking down upon the world.
In that moment, he truly embodied the charisma of one of the Twelve Kings of the strongest realm, unafraid even when facing a formidable foe of the Three Pure Ones’ caliber, exceedingly dominant.
Lord Taishang’s face was ashen, and he did not hold back, his horsetail whisk soaring, its white threads reaching three thousand feet, like the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, engulfing the Eastern King.
"Peerless Immortal Skills, Slash Heaven and Earth."
The Eastern King let out a long roar, unleashing peerless immortal skills.
Powerful mana surged, connecting to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a heavenly blade that shattered the three thousand feet of white threads.
Then, the Eastern King soared into the sky.
His entire being glowed, a suit of golden armor appeared, making him look extraordinarily heroic.
In the next moment, he struck again, still performing peerless immortal skills.
The Great Sun Burns All Things.
A golden Great Sun rose, True Sunfire soaring skyward, filled with terrifying divine ability, descending upon Lord Taishang.
Lord Taishang snorted coldly, his mana surging, forming a Tai Chi Diagram in front of him, where Yin Yang Fish intertwined and revolved, blocking the blow.
"Enough, Eastern King, stop here."
Lord Taishang said gently, unwilling to continue the fight.
The Eastern King is a powerhouse comparable to the Heavenly Emperor, a remnant of the strongest realm.
Lord Taishang did not want to harm him.
Moreover, as one of the Twelve Kings in those times, even with Lord Taishang’s power, completely annihilating the Eastern King would require a blood sacrifice.
Seeing that his several attacks had not harmed Lord Taishang,
the Eastern King also understood that there was still a considerable gap between him and Lord Taishang.
Although the opponent would not easily take him down,
it wasn’t a life-and-death struggle, and he couldn’t vent his anger by beating the Elder Lord.
"Hmph."
The Eastern King snorted coldly, turning to leave.
Destroying Doushuai Temple was already quite disrespectful to the Elder Lord.
Seeing the Eastern King depart, Lord Taishang suppressed his inner rage.
His mana surged, rebuilding Doushuai Temple.
Since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, except for Sun Wukong’s theft of the Elixir, this was the first time someone had wreaked havoc at Doushuai Temple, even destroying it.
The Eastern King went directly to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, seeking an audience with the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Yang Jian and several important ministers were discussing alliances with the Great Emperor Ziwei.
They found it hard to trust Emperor Jun, after all, they had been enemies just a moment before.
Emperor Jun wanting to cooperate with them the next moment sounded unbelievable.
Just as they were fiercely discussing, the Eastern King and the Elder Lord had started fighting.
The Great Emperor Ziwei and his people were dumbfounded, about to rush over to stop them or cheer for the Eastern King, when they stopped their fight again.
Seeing the Eastern King arrive here, everyone’s gaze turned to him.
The Eastern King touched his cheek and asked with a smile, "What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head, smiling as he said, "Why did the Eastern King start fighting with the Elder Lord just now, we were about to go cheer you on."
The Eastern King gave a bitter laugh, a bit troubled.
"Just couldn’t hold it in, that bastard is too reckless."
Hearing his words, everyone exchanged looks.
For the Eastern King to call Lord Taishang a bastard, his tone was filled with grievance.
What on earth happened?
To make him hold such a grievance against the Elder Lord.
"What did the Elder Lord do?"
Gold Star Taibai asked curiously.
"It’s not important, he’s just a bastard anyway."
The Eastern King waved his hand, not explaining.
Everyone: "..."
Tianpeng wanted to say, this was important.
After all, Lord Taishang was his master.
But sensing the Eastern King’s full grievances, Tianpeng decisively chose to remain silent.
The Eastern King truly couldn’t beat Lord Taishang, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t beat Tianpeng.
If he truly got upset and gave him a thrashing, he would be at a huge loss.
