Chapter 171: The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong—A Terrifying Origin-Level Power!
Page 1 of 3
The three had just joined forces: Lü Bu took the offensive, Emperor Xin held the defense, and Ying Zheng provided support from the side. The vast majority of the damage was absorbed by Emperor Xin, which was why Lü Bu hadn’t suffered too much harm. Yet even the flames that spilled over caused him considerable trouble. Compared to Emperor Xin, Lü Bu’s primary attributes were strength and agility—his constitution was far weaker. Moreover, he lacked any defensive skills. On top of that, the opponent’s power was now completely different from just moments ago. Lü Bu sighed. “Three seconds...” he murmured. “I can only hold out for three seconds!”
With a whoosh, the Fangtian Huaji spear was raised high, slicing through the air with a mournful wail. In truth, Lü Bu’s strength was formidable. Even standing alone, only a handful of beings in the entire world could truly contend with him—at least those at the level of city lords. With Ying Zheng’s assistance, the number who could defeat him was even fewer. But alas... Song Qi seemed to constantly attract those rare few.
At that moment—
Step!
The angel’s four wings moved in unison, vanishing instantly from the spot. Lü Bu dared not harbor any illusions. His raised Fangtian Huaji was swung down with all his might.
“Slash!!!”
The massive spear’s phantom image struck precisely at the swiftly moving angel. The spear’s tip tore through the air, producing a thunderous crack! Yet the opponent merely lifted two long swords...
Bang!
A shockwave rippled outward. The crossed swords of the angel were blown back several hundred meters, but they had firmly parried the blow.
Lü Bu was stunned. Such terrifying brute force, capable of shattering space itself, was so easily neutralized by the other side?!
The demonic god’s phantom dissipated... Lü Bu wanted to force himself to strike again, but suddenly a burst of golden flames surged forth! The flames were unbearably scorching; even before the fire approached, Lü Bu felt his skin beginning to melt! If struck, death was inevitable.
Lü Bu shifted his stance constantly, yet the flames remained locked firmly on him.
“The flames will cleanse you!” A booming voice sounded like a death sentence.
Behind him, Ying Zheng waved his great hand, and the imperial jade seal emitted a shimmering green light.

“General Lü, fall back!”
Countless terracotta warriors condensed from the air. Several rows in front melted away, transforming into shields! The warriors behind gripped the shields tightly, forming a wall hundreds of meters thick. There was only a single gap at the center, just large enough for Lü Bu to pass through.
Lü Bu understood and retreated behind the shield wall.
Bang!
Emperor Xin immediately stuffed several terracotta warriors into the gap, sealing it up!
However...
Sizzle, sizzle!
Like snow melting under a blazing sun, the thick shield wall rapidly dissolved! It could only hold for a brief moment. Heat conducted to the rear rows, and the shield-bearing terracotta warriors began to melt away. The wall started to collapse.
“Let me handle this!” Emperor Xin stepped forward, disregarding his injuries, and thrust his hand into the shield wall. Veins bulged on his arm.
“Hah!”
With a roar, the massive shield wall ceased descending and was lifted by his single arm! Emperor Xin then used his abundant world essence to grant all the terracotta warriors a “Talent-Only” damage-reduction effect, fiercely resisting the enemy’s assault! Only then did the flames finally show signs of subsiding.
Rule-level skills only lose effectiveness when facing other rule-level skills imbued with greater essence. Though Emperor Xin was weaker than his opponent, all his skills were fully saturated with essence! Put simply, among rule-level abilities, his skills held infinitely higher priority.
Then—
Boom!
A violent explosion echoed through the skies. Countless chunks of scorched earth flew everywhere. Emperor Xin and the others were blasted apart, blood spurting from their mouths!
Between the angel and Song Qi, there was now no barrier at all.
The long swords extinguished their flames, glinting coldly. The angel reverted to her original form, walking on air step by step, closing in.
Song Qi still kept his eyes tightly shut, unmoving in the slightest.
“Those without mercy shall burn in the flames.”
“Those who have fallen are unforgivable.”
“Those who rebel...”
The angel’s words were chilling to the extreme.
“No mercy!”
Shing!
A silver blade tore through the sky, cutting the ground behind Song Qi even a thousand meters away! A newly carved chasm several kilometers long was cleaved in a single strike!
But...

Not a single ripple disturbed the area around Song Qi within several meters!
“Phew~~”
Song Qi exhaled deeply.
“Finally arrived.”
“But Great Sage, why are you dressed like that?”
He looked up to see a lotus platform hovering above his head. This lotus platform was precisely what protected his safety!
From afar, the angel caught sight of the lotus platform and for the first time showed a cautious and wary expression. She could feel that the pressure from this monkey before her far exceeded that from the few others she had faced.
Ding ling ling!
The lotus platform slowly descended, revealing a monkey clad in monk’s robes—not quite fitting, yet radiating Buddha’s light—seated serenely upon it! He pinched his fingers, and Emperor Xin and the others were pulled back.
Under the effect of “Hymn to Life,” their wounds rapidly healed.
Without a doubt, this was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven himself!
At the last moment, Song Qi had timed the summoning formation perfectly. The instant the formation formed, he used a summoning token to call forth the Great Sage Equal to Heaven—Sun Wukong!
Gazing upon the Great Sage before him, who shimmered continuously with waves of Buddha’s light, Song Qi felt an overwhelming sense of security, without a trace of worry.
“And judging by appearances, this should be the Great Sage after obtaining Buddhahood following the journey to the West?”
Curious, he opened the status panel.
