Chapter 38: The Peach Blossom Mountain's Demon Country (Part 1)

  A few days later, Mount Huaguo.

  Sun Wukong was solemn, wearing a neat and tidy blue Taoist robe, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lei Hao, who wore a purple cloak, on the top of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  Sun Wukong gazed out at the majestic mountains of the Western Flower Fruit Mountain, his heart bursting with uncontainable grandeur. From this day forward, the entire Land of Pride would be subjugated beneath his feet.

  Lei Hao looked at Sun Wukong's excited face and remained silent, Lei Hao was well aware of the efforts Sun Wukong had made and the demon kingdom he had established would vanish into thin air in front of the two gigantic entities of Heaven and Buddhism.

  "I wonder what will be left of this picturesque Flower Fruit Mountain after the great war." Lei Hao thought to himself, gazing at the beautiful Flower Fruit Mountain with a sense of serenity.

  Lei Hao had also thought of stopping Sun Wukong from establishing the Demon Kingdom, but when that day finally came, he found himself powerless to do anything. For the first time, he deeply felt the overwhelming force of the Heavenly Way's momentum. In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were just fleeting clouds. Just like Lei Hao, who clearly knew what was about to happen before his eyes, and had a thousand thoughts in his mind, yet could not put them into action anywhere.

  Sun Wukong turned his head to look at Lei Hao, stretched out his furry hand and patted Lei Hao's shoulder, saying nothing, he believed that Lei Hao understood what he wanted to say at this moment.

  Lei Hao only saw him take a deep breath, his whole body flashing with golden light, and the small monkey shadow of Sun Wukong on the mountain top disappeared. Next to Huaguo Mountain, a giant ape with golden fur appeared, several hundred feet tall.

  That explosive ape was like the gorilla Lei Hao saw in his past life, only enlarged by an unknown number of times. The explosive ape's arms were several meters thick, and its chest muscles were as square and heavy as steel plates, with a powerful aura emanating from its body.

  At this time, the explosive ape opened a pair of lantern-sized eyes, staring intently at the west, with four long fangs like four huge blood-red curved knives, its ferocious appearance made the demon's gallbladder cold.

  One after another, black ripples like lightning appeared around the Exploding Ape, and the devouring blackness gave Lei Hao a heart-pounding feeling. Calming down to take a look, those ripples turned out to be spatial fissures. The Exploding Ape didn't do anything; it just tore through space as soon as it appeared.

  Looking at the explosive ape in front of him, Lei Hao's heart was moved but he wasn't afraid. He understood that this should be Sun Wukong's Lingming Stone Ape true body.

  The Monkey King Sun Wukong, transformed into a violent ape, had wave after wave of intense pressure emanating from his body, as if it were tangible, spreading out in all directions from the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. The enormous pressure dispersed all the dark clouds in the sky above the mountain, and golden sunlight shone down on the ape's body, its golden fur glistening with a dazzling light, like molten gold.

  From a distance, Sun Wukong now looks like a majestic and awe-inspiring great shaman of the vast wilderness, dignified and inviolable.

  …………

  In the Snake Demon Cave hundreds of miles away from Huahua Mountain, the Green Snake King had transformed back into his original form as a tens-of-zhang-long green snake. He was seen coiling his body into a golden pagoda shape, sticking out his long forked tongue and desperately resisting this inexplicable pressure. On the surface of his long snake body, his green-colored magical powers were surging, and through the crystal-clear flesh and blood visible beneath his green-colored magical powers.

  The Green Snake King's desperate struggle against the overwhelming power, but in his heart, a stormy wave was set off: "Is this... could it be that the late-stage Great Demon of the Demon King?" The Green Snake King felt a surge of sorrow as he thought about it. If this pressure was indeed emitted by the late-stage Great Demon of the Demon King, then its purpose would be very clear.

  "Why? Why would such a barren land produce a great demon? Must I, the Green Snake King, still be subordinate to humans?" The Green Snake King thought with extreme humiliation. Yes, the country of Ao was only a small country, with an area of no more than 100,000 miles, and the spiritual energy was not very dense. It was normal that there were no great demons in the later stages of the demon king's era, so these early-stage demon kings could establish their own caves and become ancestors, living carefree lives. If a great demon from the later stages of the demon king's era had appeared here, they would have established a demon kingdom long ago.

  Inside the Snake Demon Cave, several inner dan boundary grand marshals were also having a hard time. They had no ability to resist that fearful pressure, which was like a mountain pressing down on them. At this moment, they all fell to the ground with their five bodies, staring at each other with terrified eyes, and this pressure was really too terrifying, making it impossible for them to move. Any small demon could take up a weapon and kill them.

  It was the little demons in the Snake Demon Cave who were only kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. The pressure they felt was just enough to make them feel a bit chilled to the bone. Of course, the most relaxed ones were those small demons who had transformed into human form but still had low intelligence. At this time, they could still stand up and look around at their companions who had fallen to the ground, not knowing what was going on.

  Such a scene can be seen in every place within the seventy-two caves of the proud country.

  …………

  After a long time, Sun Wukong slowly withdrew his oppressive aura. Opening his huge bloody basin-like mouth, he let out a loud roar, and the violently tyrannical air filled the entire territory of the Gao Lai country.

  "Today, I, the Handsome Monkey King, have established the Country of All Demons at the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. All demon kings within the country's borders must come immediately. If you don't arrive within a day, your caves will be destroyed and your clans annihilated, leaving no grass or trees standing." Sun Wukong spoke, his voice like thunder, as a fierce and violent aura rose up in waves, rolling out in all directions from the Explosive Ape at its center.

  All the monsters in the 72 caves heard this voice as if they had been splashed with a basin of cold water on a cold winter's day, and a chill ran straight to their hearts.

  After Bomb Monkey finished shouting, he suddenly disappeared. A figure in a green Taoist robe, Sun Wukong, appeared out of thin air on the top of Huaguo Mountain.

  Lei Hao also put away his shocked and stunned expression, he was humbled again. He had originally thought that his tens of meters long wild bull body was already very powerful, but he didn't expect Sun Wukong to show him today what it means to have a natural talent and a true body.

  The restored lecherous monkey-like face of Sun Wukong showed a hint of fatigue, apparently, this explosive ape's true form was not something that could be maintained for as long as he wanted, the amount of spiritual energy consumed was so great that even as a late-stage Demon King and equal to a Golden Immortal, Sun Wukong couldn't keep it up for much longer.

  After taking a long breath, Sun Wukong looked at Lei Hao with a proud expression: "How's that? My true form is quite impressive, right? If I didn't want to show you my strength, I wouldn't have bothered using so much energy."

  Lei Hao was speechless, really wanting to slap this annoying guy to death, making such a big fuss just to show off his muscles.

  Lei Hao touched the bull's horn with a helpless expression, and said somewhat slyly: "It's very powerful, but obviously you're just three minutes, can you last?" This kind of talk Sun Wukong couldn't understand. Although he had been influenced by Lei Hao's smooth talking for many years, he wouldn't understand such 'profound' connotations, such as what three minutes meant, what lasting meant, or anything related to andrology.

  Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "This is my innate divine power, which I only realized in the past few days after returning. This is also the first time I've used this divine power, and I didn't expect it to require such enormous magical energy."

  "You've never even tried it and you dare play with something so big, you really are..." Lei Hao was completely speechless about this guy.

  Sun Wukong dug his nose and said: "What's the big deal? I'm showing my true form in front of a few little monsters, and I still think it's too petty."

  While Lei Hao and Sun Wukong were talking, several black demonic gusts of wind had already risen in the western mountain forest of Huaguo Mountain.

  "The snake demon cave's green snake king has come to pay respects to the Water Curtain Cave's beautiful monkey king." A soft and gentle voice floated faintly into Sun Wukong and Lei Hao's ears.

  "The Scorpion Demon Cave's Poisonous Scorpion King has come to pay respects to the Water Curtain Cave's Beautiful Monkey King." A burst of sound, like the scraping of two metal blocks, quickly spread to the top of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  "The Heaven Eagle Cave's Wujimowang has come to pay respects to the Water Curtain Cave's Meihouwang." A sharp voice had previously reached the top of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  ……

  In a short while, the black wind stopped at the foot of Huaguo Mountain. The masters of the demon kings' caves within the borders of the Proud Country all came with their fastest speed, and none of them dared to delay.

  After the black evil wind, came a rolling army of smoke and dust, this was some of the cave masters within the borders of the Proud Country who were below the level of an Evil King bringing their troops.

  Sun Wukong's face broke into a smile, his majestic and heroic gaze swept over the demons constantly arriving at the foot of the mountain, an aura of "all heroes in the world enter my pot" slowly rising from him.

  Half a response, Sun Wukong turned his head to look at the expressionless Lei Hao, and the heroic spirit on his face slightly retreated. He opened his mouth with a serious face: "Niu Tou, soon the Huaguo Mountain Demon Kingdom will be established, take a look at these demons, do you still think I can't control my fate?"

  Lei Hao, with a poker face, turned his head and gazed deeply at Sun Wukong, saying: "Monkey, it's not enough. These earth chickens and tile dogs, in another hundred years, even the younger brothers of Lei Wei will surpass them. You must remember, only one's own strength is the most important."

  Sun Wukong's face fell and he looked a bit ugly, but he didn't ask again. Lei Hao said it wasn't enough, then it really wasn't enough.

  When Sun Wukong turned his head again to look at the dark and dense crowd of demons at the foot of the mountain, the heroic spirit on his face had disappeared, and his dazed eyes had become clear. The demon army under Huaguo Mountain was getting more and more numerous, with strange flags standing disorderly everywhere, and most of the demon soldiers were also listless, making Sun Wukong's face look a bit ugly, who was used to the Thunder Guard and the Thunder Character Army.

  Sun Wukong, who had never truly set foot in the demon realm, always thought that all demon troops were as elite as Lei Wei and Lei Ziming, but now he realized he was wrong, very wrong.

  Lei Hao looked at Sun Wukong's increasingly ugly face and couldn't bear it. After a while, he sighed in his heart: "Forget it, forget it, even if it's just a dream, let the monkey have a good dream." Lei Hao slowly opened his mouth: "Monkey, after I return to Shuigedong, ten Lei Wei will come to Huaguo Mountain every month to take turns on duty and help you train these mobs along the way." With light strokes, he laid the foundation for Sun Wukong's powerful Huaguo Mountain, but Sun Wukong would never understand this.

  As the demon troops rushing towards the foot of Huaguo Mountain gradually became sparse, a clear and melodious voice came from afar: "The Great Priest Kuan Yin of the Temple of the Arrogant Country has come to pay homage to the Great King of Huaguo Mountain." This clear and melodious voice came from far and near, and when the words fell, a proud figure with an aura of immortality appeared in mid-air above Huaguo Mountain.

  Lei Hao and Sun Wukong looked at this person, silently saying in their hearts: "He's here."
