Chapter 1209: Chapter 1207: Joining Forces Against the Quasi-Saint

The identity of Master Wuchao is only known to a few well-informed individuals. Moreover, Master Wuchao is considered to be his second disguise.

Originally, he was the last Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, a Golden Crow, who took on the identity of Taoist Lu Ya during the Deification Catastrophe.

And during this Journey to the West Catastrophe, he has transformed into Master Wuchao.

Seeing Master Wuchao charging over, with an unfriendly attitude, even though Demon King Ox knew his own strength was weak, he still gritted his teeth and faced him head-on.

At the same time, he swung a Bin Iron Cudgel towards Master Wuchao.

Great Strength Bull Demon King, his power truly is terrifying.

However, seeing Demon King Ox actively initiate an attack on him, Master Wuchao slightly furrowed his brow and raised his hand, delivering a light palm strike.

Although Demon King Ox is very strong, the absolute gap in cultivation level is not easily bridged.

With this palm strike, Demon King Ox’s figure was instantly sent flying.

“Inverted Horse Stake!”

The Scorpion Demon, being present, naturally understood its task. Seeing Demon King Ox being sent flying by a palm strike, the Scorpion Demon showed no sign of fear.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Demon King Ox, it seized the moment to exploit Master Wuchao’s open flank, attacking with the Inverted Horse Stake as a ray of light that directly pierced Master Wuchao’s palm.

“Ah!”

Being pricked by the Inverted Horse Stake, Master Wuchao cried out in pain and instantly retracted his hand.

Looking down, a tiny blood hole appeared in his palm, but one could see that green poison was spreading from the blood hole.

Even when Tathagata Buddha was stung, this Master Wuchao’s strength, being slightly inferior to that of Tathagata Buddha, naturally couldn’t withstand the attack of the Inverted Horse Stake.

“You bastard…”

Unexpectedly being ambushed and injured, Master Wuchao’s heart was filled with anger, and he directly unleashed the extremely vigorous and yang True Sun Fire at the Scorpion Demon.

Though the Great Luo Golden Immortal level of cultivation is very strong, it nevertheless falls short before Master Wuchao.

The golden True Sun Fire descended, and although the Scorpion Demon had done its best to defend against it, it was still in a futile posture, staring blankly as the True Sun Fire bore down.

Reflecting the golden flames in her beautiful eyes, the Scorpion Demon’s face displayed a hint of despair.

The extremely vigorous and yang flames naturally restrained the Scorpion Demon, as she feared such extreme yang elements the most.

Just like in the original work, a lower-cultivation-level Official of the Sun effortlessly crushed her due to being a vigorous and yang existence as a transformed big rooster.

However, just as the Scorpion Demon seemed about to perish under the golden True Sun Fire, suddenly, a faint yellow light appeared, enveloping the Scorpion Demon entirely.

The golden flames swept through, and though the yellow light quickly became tattered, with the Scorpion Demon appearing quite miserable, about a third of her health bar remained, saving her life.

“Xuanzang?”

Master Wuchao turned his head, his gaze landing on Jiang Liu, his brows slightly furrowed: “This is between me and the Ming Sect, why do you meddle?”

“Amitabha, since Gaoyang is now with the Ming Sect, if she learns that the poor monk stood idly by regarding the life and death of her allies, how will I face her in the future?” Jiang Liu intoned a Buddhist chant before offering his reasoning.

Although this reason was not particularly solid, it was somewhat justifiable.

While speaking, Jiang Liu moved and stood in front of the Scorpion Demon, fully unfurling the defense of the Green Lotus Buddha Robe.

With a defense value of a billion, acclaimed to be unbreakable by non-saintly power, it was not something easily breached.

“Xuanzang, have you resolved to be my enemy?” Although there was some degree of acquaintance in the past, today, seeing Jiang Liu opposing him, Master Wuchao’s expression grew extremely displeased.

“Amitabha, Old Zen Master, this flame seems to be an ownerless item, naturally to be possessed by the virtuous…” Jiang Liu wore a look of some difficulty as he spoke.

These words caused many around to nod in agreement.

Indeed, an ownerless item should be claimed by the virtuous; everyone can rely on their skills and there’s no talk of grievance or enmity.

“Who said this is an ownerless item? Back then, my father fused the True Sun Fire with my mother’s Taiyin True Flame, hiding it within the Taiyin Star to nurture it, all to ensure that the supreme yin and supreme yang flames could perfectly merge and allow our Golden Crow Clan to transform once more!”

“Although times have changed, this flame, nurtured by my father and mother together, should naturally belong to me!”

“So today, no matter who, cannot seize this flame!”

Master Wuchao spoke, his resolute tone affirming the flame’s ownership.

“Is that so? Extreme yin and extreme cold flame? Nurtured by Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Demon Queen Xihe together in ancient times…” Listening to Master Wuchao’s words, Jiang Liu suddenly realized and simultaneously felt a bit embarrassed.

This flame isn’t really ownerless, after all.

“He says he’s from the Golden Crow Clan? Father Emperor and Mother Empress? Could he possibly be the last Golden Crow that survived after Houyi shot down the suns in ancient times?”

Although a small number of people, including Jiang Liu, knew Master Wuchao’s true identity, most people didn’t recognize him. Listening to Master Wuchao’s statement, like the Fire God, many immortals, Buddhas, and even demons were shocked as they looked at Master Wuchao.

Particularly, the demons had even more complex expressions.

The Golden Crow Clan is the imperial family of the Demon Clan, but the Demon Clan has now fallen. With the reappearance of a Golden Crow as the royal family, many members of the Demon Clan were left unsure how to face him.

“Damn it! How dare you hurt my father!” Just when Jiang Liu was feeling a bit awkward, Red Boy suddenly roared in anger.

Red Boy raised his hand and unleashed a bright golden flame, attacking towards the Golden Crow.

Master Wuchao raised his hand and blocked these bright golden flames, squinting slightly as he said, “Your True Sun Fire is formidable, but compared to mine, it’s far inferior! You think to attack me with True Sun Fire? Are you joking?”

“Then try my Taiyin True Flame!” Seeing that his True Sun Fire couldn’t harm Master Wuchao, Red Boy was inwardly furious and shouted loudly.

Following his heart’s command, under Red Boy’s control, the bright golden flames quickly transformed into the eerie blue Taiyin True Flame.

The flames switched between supreme yang and supreme yin with great fluidity.

Seeing the eerie blue Taiyin True Flame approaching, Master Wuchao’s expression slightly tensed. He released his golden True Sun Fire, blocking these eerie blue flames.

Though inwardly uneasy, Master Wuchao maintained an air of ease on the surface, saying, “Although Taiyin True Flame and True Sun Fire are mutually restraining flames, how can your Taiyin True Flame currently compare to my True Sun Fire?”

As his words fell, Master Wuchao, with contained anger, unleashed his move. The golden and pure True Sun Fire once again pressed towards Red Boy.

Crushing him! Though Red Boy had a Fire Spirit Body, possessing the True Sun Fire, Taiyin True Flame, and Samadhi True Fire at the moment,

these flames, however numerous, couldn’t withstand Master Wuchao’s innate True Sun Fire.

As the saying goes, no matter how broad your learning, nothing beats mastering one skill. The current conflict between Master Wuchao and Red Boy was just such a case.

In terms of flame quality and control experience, Master Wuchao entirely overpowered Red Boy; in cultivation level, the Quasi-Saint level Master Wuchao completely overpowered the Great Luo Realm Red Boy.

Thus, though Red Boy attacked in furious anger with flames billowing, he was still being heavily overpowered by Master Wuchao.

“Huh? Great Luo Realm!?”

Watching the battle between Red Boy and Master Wuchao, feeling the aura emanating from Red Boy, Jiang Liu suddenly felt a sense of shock within.

If he remembered correctly, when he first met Red Boy, his cultivation level was only that of a Heavenly Immortal.

And after acquiring the True Sun Fire and the Fire Essence Pill gifted by Kunpeng, along with years of diligent practice, Red Boy’s cultivation level only barely entered the Taiyi Realm, didn’t it?

But now, he leaped directly to the Great Luo Realm?

With a thought in his mind, Jiang Liu silently chanted ‘character panel,’ pulling up Red Boy’s panel to examine.

ID: Red Boy (Golden).

Profession: Demon.

Gender: Male.

Level: 83.

Equipment: …

Seeing Red Boy’s level information, Jiang Liu was inwardly astonished.

Level 83? He indeed reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

“Impressive, upon merging with this flame, Red Boy’s cultivation jumped directly from Taiyi Realm to Great Luo Realm? No wonder even the Quasi-Saint level Master Wuchao couldn’t help but intervene!” Surprised as he was, Jiang Liu suddenly realized.

This flame, which emerged, allowed Red Boy to soar to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, no wonder the Quasi-Saint Master Wuchao was so concerned.

Not to mention Jiang Liu’s astonishment, seeing Red Boy being completely overpowered by Master Wuchao, Jiang Liu moved and flew up, using his Green Lotus Buddha Robe to block Master Wuchao’s True Sun Fire.

As Jiang Liu took action, naturally, Sun Wukong and the others wouldn’t stand idly by. Plus, Demon King Ox and Scorpion Demon revived their spirits, and in an instant, the scene turned into Jiang Liu and others gang-fighting against Master Wuchao.

Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Little White Dragon, Red Boy, Demon King Ox, and Scorpion Demon…

A total of eight Great Luo Golden Immortal-level powerhouses.

Plus, with Jiang Liu’s Green Lotus Buddha Robe, the power unleashed by the eight’s joint effort was extraordinarily terrifying.

This power left the surrounding immortals, Buddhas, and demons dumbfounded, leaving no room for them to interfere.
