567: Chapter 236 It’s really fake_12 567: Chapter 236 It’s really fake_12 Tathagata Buddha could only respond with a faint smile, saying, “You and I are naturally enemies.
I fight for the living beings of the heaven and earth, while you fight for your own ambitions.
We are inherently adversaries.”
“Hehe.”
The Jade Emperor let out a cold laugh.
He dealt with the assaults from Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, driving them back continuously.
After exchanging glances, both Sun Wukong and Yang Jian saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
The supreme power of the ruler of the Three Realms was indeed terrifying.
They had already severely wounded the Jade Emperor and even inflicted injuries on him three times in succession.
Yet the Jade Emperor’s combat strength remained so formidable that it instilled fear in them.
How overwhelmingly powerful was the Jade Emperor at his peak?
They dared not even contemplate it.
However, this only made the attacks of Sun Wukong and the others more frenzied as they sought to suppress the Jade Emperor.
If they couldn’t even suppress the Jade Emperor when he was gravely injured, on what grounds could they claim to be able to defeat him?
Tathagata Buddha also joined the fray, participating in the encirclement.
With a flash of radiance in his hands, a golden longsword emerged, exuding the vast majesty of the emperor.
This was an Emperor Sword, the personal weapon of the Jade Emperor.
Everyone’s eyes widened as the Jade Emperor took up a weapon.
This was the first time anyone had seen the Jade Emperor wield a weapon.
In fact, for 99% of immortals and demons, this was even their first time seeing the Jade Emperor engage in a struggle against someone.
He was once the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, where all matters naturally did not require his personal action, as others would take care of them.
Therefore, ever since he assumed the throne, the Jade Emperor had hardly ever taken action,
The understanding of the Jade Emperor’s strength was more confined to legend.
It was said that the Jade Emperor was the foremost being beneath The Three Pure Ones, but no one knew just how formidable he truly was.
But now they understood, the Jade Emperor’s strength could be described as startling and extraordinary.
To be able to withstand the combined assault of three top warriors, including Tathagata Buddha, even after being sneak-attacked and severely wounded three times,
Such strength.
Even if not equal to The Three Pure Ones, was most likely not far behind.
In the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, inside the Doushuai Temple.
The Three Pure Ones were seated in a row, and before them was the scene of the battle between the Jade Emperor and Sun Wukong.
Clearly, Lord Taishang and the others had also sensed everything, watching the battle between the two sides closely.
“What do you think, Daoist friend?”
Lord Taishang asked the two of them.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate was a middle-aged immortal.
He wore an unadorned Daoist robe, with an air of absolute authority.
Upon hearing Lord Taishang’s words, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate laughed and said, “A mighty battle between dragons and tigers is never simple.”
Lingbao Dao Venerate appeared slightly younger than Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.
He spoke with a smile, “If later generations of living beings were all as outstanding as Wukong and the others, there would be no need for us to scheme anything.
Alas, these are but a rare few.”
Lord Taishang shot them both a glance and said, “I didn’t invite you here to depress spirits; I intended for you to enjoy the spectacle.
I, for one, believe there are quite a few promising seeds among the future generations of living beings, not just Sun Wukong and his few companions.
You are being a bit too pessimistic.”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate gave a wry smile and said, “Time waits for no one.”
It wasn’t that they were pessimistic, but time waits for no one.
“I believe in them.”
Lord Taishang’s attitude had completely changed since the last time.
The other two were somewhat silent.
Soon, Lord Taishang changed the subject, “How about the Jade Emperor?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, “He is the best prospect I have ever seen, and he might even reach our level, but his obsession is too deep, and after so much time, despite all efforts, we couldn’t make him change.
I’m not optimistic about him.”
Lingbao Dao Venerate let out a sigh.
If they could add another person to stand on equal footing with them, they wouldn’t feel so entangled.
But they could not trust the character of the Jade Emperor.
“Forget about him, I have given up anyway.”
Lord Taishang curled his lips.
He watched Sun Wukong and the others, smiling as he said, “I’m more hopeful about the younger generation.
I believe with their presence, they will surely bring hope and even turn Heaven and Earth upside down.”
“Dreaming again.”
Lingbao Dao Venerate curled his lips too.
But he did not say much more.
The expectations of Lord Taishang were also their expectations.
Unbeknownst to Sun Wukong and his peers, everything they did was under the surveillance of Lord Taishang and his company.
The trio fought fiercely against the Jade Emperor and all sustained injuries.
The Jade Emperor’s Emperor Sword was sharp, and his combat skills unparalleled.
Even though Sun Wukong and Yang Jian did not recognize any other’s superiority in martial skills except for each other, they still admired the martial prowess of the Jade Emperor.
Despite joining forces, they couldn’t gain the slightest advantage in terms of martial skills.
Sun Wukong had been bisected once, although his Jingu Bang had also struck the Jade Emperor.
Sun Wukong felt that, even if his fighting power was comparable, it was almost impossible for him to suppress the Jade Emperor with martial skills.
All his martial arts and spells were taught by the Jade Emperor, who knew him all too well.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Sun Wukong hadn’t changed at all over the years.
It just meant that in a fight with the Jade Emperor, he gained no advantage whatsoever.
Yang Jian also found the battle extremely difficult.
Although he left several wounds on the Jade Emperor, he was injured himself.
The most hard-pressed was probably Tathagata Buddha.
He faced the greatest pressure from the Jade Emperor and was also the strongest among the three.
With the Jade Emperor now utterly hating Tathagata Buddha, nearly more than half of his attacks were directed at Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha, going all out, also nearly couldn’t withstand, as blood surged and cracks appeared on his Golden Body.
However, he too landed hits on the Jade Emperor, leaving wounds.
The great battle between them had entered an intense state.
No side had the upper hand, and the watching Immortals were both dazzled and terrified.
This was almost the strongest duel between Heaven and Earth; albeit somewhat unfair, but considering the status of the Jade Emperor, the bystanders came to accept it.
The siege by Tathagata Buddha and his allies could be seen as the highest respect to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor kept coughing up blood.
He swallowed elixirs, but they were not of much use.
If it weren’t for his Undying Body, today would have been his downfall.
Sun Wukong became frenzied, trading blow for blow; after all, his side had more people, and with the Primordial Demonic Qi, Sun Wukong was not afraid of injuries, let alone the destruction of his body.
If he had not entered the Heavenly Venerate realm, it wouldn’t have been difficult for the Jade Emperor to kill him.
But now that Sun Wukong was a Heavenly Venerate and had the Immortal Body, plus the Primordial Demonic Qi, killing him was not something that could be done overnight; it required time.
He was fearless in facing injuries.
One chapter of his battle was worth ten of another’s.
