#473 - A victory for science
Whether it was because I had blocked the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, his eyes were becoming increasingly red as he looked at Zun Zun, as if he were looking at an enemy.
Zun Zun's mind was ringing alarm bells.
In fact, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven did see the shadow of an enemy in Zun Zun—Erlang, the Manifesting Sage.
In mythology, Erlang, the Manifesting Sage, held up the sky with one hand and led a dog with the other, his weapon being the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade. How similar was this to Zun Zun now?
Especially with a dragon and a cat, it was almost a carbon copy.
The two began to fight again.
It seemed that they were truly holding nothing back. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's moves were fierce and unmatched, while Zun Zun parried and used his authority.
Ninth Incarnation · Goat.
Its ability is to manipulate lightning.
However, the target must be someone recognized by the public as an enemy, and it will indiscriminately steal the life force of nearby people. However, after the Great Sage Equaling Heaven 'swallowed' people and there was no one nearby, Zun Zun used this move unscrupulously.
"Tsk! So much static electricity, it's so annoying!"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven quickly dodged the lightning falling from the front and above, a clear look of displeasure on his monkey face.
Under normal circumstances, being burned by lightning would cause severe burns and be blown away by the impact. However, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's copper head and iron arms were electrified. Although he could be blown away, it would not cause any damage.
This was repeated several times.
When Zun Zun confirmed that it was not working, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Both sides thought the other's ability was very annoying.
Zun Zun thought of something.
Although the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was locked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace by the Supreme Lord Lao for forty-nine days, he actually did not suffer any damage. Instead, he developed an indestructible body.
But his eyes were damaged by the wind and sand.
In the original story, he was even blown around and lost his way by the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Divine Wind, and had no choice but to ask for help from Lingji Bodhisattva.
In other words, wind was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's nemesis.
However, Zun Zun did not have a powerful [Wind] authority. All of his [Wind] was more for protection and support, and would not cause any harm.
"Damn it, this is endless!"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven seemed a little annoyed. The lightning harassment made him very anxious, and then he chanted a spell again.
"Heaven is shocked, earth is shocked, grow!"
Suddenly, the divine monkey, who was only 140 centimeters tall, suddenly grew larger, almost a hundred meters tall, and the width of his body naturally increased as well. Enduring the lightning released by Zun Zun, he spread his feet and stood firm.
It was the Law of Heaven and Earth!
The expanding giant body could withstand the impact of lightning. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's monkey face showed a knowing smile and he began to rush forward. Zun Zun did not expect him to use gigantification to withstand the lightning.
"I didn't expect another good trick. I'm really honored."
Zun Zun was moved.
But his hands did not stop at all. Lightning energy gathered into a ball, and then he threw it towards the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, completely enveloping him.
Since that's the case, then let's win with quantity!
"Just playing some petty tricks!"
The lightning ball, which collided fiercely with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, released a current in one breath, forming an encirclement net to try to completely paralyze him. However, at this time, he suddenly changed back to his original size and easily escaped.
"You're kidding me…"
He actually used magic so freely. Zun Zun was a little desperate. Could this be the so-called Taoist natural law?
However, there was no time for him to sigh.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven successively used the Clone Technique, increasing dozens of them in one breath, and rushed towards Zun Zun together.
"Evil people cannot hit me!"
The Word Spirit took the lead before the many Ruyi Golden Hoop Rods fell. His figure disappeared and reappeared not far away.
Zun Zun's forehead was sweating.
The opponent's methods were ever-changing. When fantasizing about becoming the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he would be excited, but when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was his opponent, it would be a headache.
"Godslayer, what's so funny?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the Great Sage Equaling Heaven say this, Zun Zun subconsciously touched his cheek and found that the corners of his mouth were indeed upturned.
Really, I'm smiling.
"I think… it's because I can fight with my idol, I'm so excited that I can't stop smiling."
"Same here. Godslayer… no, Zun Zun, I, Old Sun, am also very happy to fight with you!"
"Then—"
"Let us have a good fight!" X2
Zun Zun and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven both had smiles on their faces. It was the ferocious smile unique to battle maniacs. Obviously, both sides knew that this battle had reached its climax and that victory or defeat would be decided here!
"Greed Wolf, Giant Gate, Lucky Star, Literary Star, Integrity, Military Song, Broken Army! Seven stars of the Northern Sky, please show your spiritual power!"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven chanted for the first time.
However, it's not over yet.
"Snake, dragon, dedicate flesh and bones to me! Flame, burn iron into steel! Hammer, forge steel into a knife! Clear water, cool into a blade! All are to enhance the divinity of my steel!"
The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod constantly collided.
In order to have an unshakable self, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven borrowed the Big Dipper; in order not to break the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod, he also enhanced the properties of his steel.
Now they were standing on the same starting line again.
But it won't work.
Zun Zun knew very well that in terms of combat, whether it was talent, experience, or supernatural powers, he was not as good as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Even if he used the Golden Sword to continuously increase the strength of the Word Spirit, there would be a limit.
As the battle became more and more intense, he gradually became unable to support it.
Three authorities were still a bit difficult for Zun Zun. To be honest, he was now suffering from severe pain, and his internal organs were constantly shifting.
The breath he was holding on to was also on the verge of exhaustion.
Is there… is there any way…
Whether this was a flash of inspiration or not, Zun Zun suddenly thought of a solution.
"Great Sage, do you know how wind is formed?"
"...You really do know my weakness. But since you haven't used it, it means you don't have the relevant authority! To expose it like that, how foolish!"
Being scolded by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Zun Zun wasn't angry. Instead, he continued to speak.
"Wind is a phenomenon of air movement on Earth, generally caused by solar radiation heating.
Sunlight shines on the Earth's surface, causing the surface temperature to rise. The air on the surface expands and becomes lighter, rising upwards.
After the hot air rises, cold air at a lower temperature flows in horizontally. The rising air gradually cools and becomes heavier, falling back down. Because the surface temperature is high, it heats the air again, causing it to rise. This movement of air is wind."
"...What are you babbling about!"
Seemingly impatient, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven spun around and kicked Zun Zun hard. But he didn't feel like he had hit him; rather, he had been blocked, as if deliberately creating distance.
Zun Zun shook his numb arms.
"What I mean is that although I don't have the authority of wind, I can create wind!"
Having said that, he raised his hands high and shouted: "For victory, come to me! Undying Sun, grant me the shining steed. O steed of nimble hooves, bring the halo symbolizing thy master!"
In the dawning eastern sky, a sun rose slowly, breaking free from the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Of course, it wasn't the real sun. On closer inspection, it was a steed burning with white flames, flying towards them!
"I thought you were going to do something, but I am indestructible, unafraid of light and heat. Have you forgotten?"
When the steed descended from the sky, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven didn't dodge; instead, he plunged straight into it.
As if to prove himself.
With a boom.
Fierce flames landed on the earth, and a scorching aura rushed towards them.
This was Zun Zun's first time using the authority of the White Horse, and he hadn't expected its destructive power to be so considerable—however, when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, enlarged using the Law of Heaven and Earth, appeared before him, anyone would feel despair.
But what came next was crucial!
"That's right, I don't have the authority of wind, and I can't affect you, Great Sage, but I can create wind, and I can let nature help me!"
Zun Zun waved his hand, and a strong wind swept over.
This wind wasn't fierce; it couldn't even tickle the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. But it was enough to stir up a current of hot air!
When the hot air current was blown into the sky in a short time, cold air quickly filled the gap, and a whirlwind gradually formed, instantly becoming a huge tornado.
"Eat this!"
Zun Zun waved his hands, constantly pushing the raging tornado forward with cold air, engulfing the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who had no time to escape.
"Waaah—"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven let out a fierce scream.
If the game's stats were used to classify it, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's [Steel] had 90 points of resistance to fire, water, and earth, but only 20 points, or even 10 points, of resistance to wind. Powerful wind was his weakness!
It was a victory for science!
But it wasn't over yet. Even if he was blinded by sand and wind, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was still the Great Sage Equaling Heaven; his indestructible body would not be affected.
Therefore, what came next was the final blow!
"Legend says the great demon Wuzhiqi resembled an ape, with a sunken nose, high forehead, blue whiskers, white head, snow-white teeth, and golden eyes.
Just because he didn't cooperate with Dayu in controlling the floods, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle beneath Mount Tongbai, sending out countless generals in a wheel battle, all of whom returned defeated.
It wasn't until heavenly gods were invited to the battle that he was captured, but they couldn't kill him. They had to bind his neck with iron chains and suppress him with Turtle Mountain. From then on, the Huai River flowed peacefully into the East Sea.
If the monkey god Hanuman is the external manifestation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, then the great demon Wuzhiqi is the spiritual core of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
As Zun Zun chanted loudly.
The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his hand changed shape again, becoming more slender and sharper than before.
Just as Zun Zun was about to rush in to deliver the final blow to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he suddenly heard a roar from the tornado.
A monkey covered in black flames jumped out as if breaking out of a spiritual stone, wielding an iron rod and smashing it towards Zun Zun's head.
But it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Zun Zun didn't expect that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven could break free from his restraints like this. His mind was a little flustered, and the hand holding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade instinctively thrust forward.
With a pfft.
It pierced him right through the heart.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven looked at the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his chest. If he had the heart, he could have risked mutual destruction and smashed down the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but he didn't do so, as if accepting his defeat.
"Not bad!"
A monkey face wore a happy smile, as if praising Zun Zun's great achievement in defeating him, and as if he was very satisfied with this battle.
Zun Zun opened his mouth.
He had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence.
"I'm sorry..."
"Hmm, I forgive you."
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's furry hand touched the corner of his eye.
Then, the back of Zun Zun's hand glowed, and a khaki-colored light ball appeared behind the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and then swallowed him in one gulp.
