CHAPTER 1158: CHAPTER 358: TAKING ACTION, BESIEGING JI MENG (PART 5)

Ji Meng’s ability to suppress Sun Wukong mainly lies in his superior mana.

If it were purely martial skills, he would not be a match for Sun Wukong, even having the same battle experience.

In this world, many things are said to have innate talent.

Diligence can make you a master, but only talent combined with diligence can truly make you reach the peak.

And Sun Wukong possesses both talent and diligence; in the path of martial skills, within the Three Realms, only Yang Jian and Haotian God can match him.

As the fierce battle between them continued, a light froze Ji Meng once more.

Though Ji Meng managed to break free immediately, he was still struck in the chest by Sun Wukong’s staff.

His chest caved in, and his immense mana penetrated Ji Meng’s body, making him grit his teeth.

It was Zhenyuan again; he continuously used the Earth Scripture to interfere with Ji Meng, making Ji Meng suffer greatly in the battle with Sun Wukong.

Ji Meng finally understood why Sun Wukong said that he and Zhenyuan could kill him.

Who could counter such coordination?

He could quickly break the Earth Scripture’s lock but needed a moment, or even half a moment.

In Supreme battles, victory or defeat is sometimes within half a moment.

If he cannot eliminate Zhenyuan’s influence, his defeat is almost certain.

But, with Sun Wukong watching him and the Primordial Phoenix yet to engage,

Ji Meng knew he couldn’t just kill Zhenyuan outright.

Moreover, Zhenyuan’s strength must not be underestimated, having accumulated from the Primordial era until now before stepping into the ranks of Supreme; his current strength is definitely not comparable to an average Supreme.

What to do?

Ji Meng’s mind was racing with ideas.

Escape?

Ji Meng felt reluctant, and at the same time believed that escaping might not be so easy.

It’s hard to escape under the siege of three Supremes.

Moreover, no one knows if Sun Wukong has other methods.

If he has prepared other means, wouldn’t he be falling into a trap, making his situation even more dire?

Ji Meng decided to hold on, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to notice the disturbance and surely come to his aid.

It’s more reliable than him escaping on his own.

Sun Wukong, with his Eyes of Golden Flame, immediately saw through Ji Meng’s plan.

He smiled coldly in his heart, but didn’t expose it.

Since the opponent wanted to delay, he would cooperate with Ji Meng.

Sun Wukong called upon the Primordial Phoenix, and they struck together.

The three Supremes besiege Ji Meng in a great battle.

Zhenyuan also used Immortal Technique, falling upon Ji Meng.

The Phoenix True Fire danced on the Primordial Phoenix, posing a great threat to Ji Meng.

None of these three are easy marks; their strength is overwhelming and frightening.

Attacking together, Ji Meng could only respond awkwardly, and soon he was covered in blood.

At this moment, Ji Meng noticed something was amiss.

The Heavenly Emperor had not arrived, nor had reinforcements come.

"What is going on?"

Ji Meng was dumbfounded.

This disturbance should definitely have been noticed by the Heavenly Emperor.

Yet, why hadn’t the Heavenly Emperor come?

"Your Heavenly Emperor can’t come."

Sun Wukong sneered.

He understood Ji Meng’s intentions perfectly; hoping for Emperor Jun’s rescue was overly optimistic.

Ji Meng looked at Sun Wukong, somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, on the edge of the Western Continent, terrifying fluctuations erupted.

Peerless experts were clashing, causing the entire world to tremble with their battle.

"The Heavenly Court has intervened; how dare the Heavenly Court intervene?"

Ji Meng found it hard to believe.

Their calculations assumed the Heavenly Court wouldn’t intervene, violating the Heavenly laws they established.

But now, the Heavenly Court has intervened, completely catching Ji Meng off guard.

Seeing Ji Meng’s stunned expression, Sun Wukong laughed heartily.

"Ji Meng, why wouldn’t the Heavenly Court intervene? You are being rather presumptuous."

Ji Meng was battered and exhausted, unable to engage in conversation with Sun Wukong.

"You must have thought that the Heavenly Court feared the Three Realms’ living beings’ resentment and dared not violate the Heavenly laws, meddling in your and other Immortals’ practices. But did you not consider that after you slaughtered so many Immortals and even Ancient Gods and Devils, now the wish of all living beings is for the Heavenly Court to act and kill you. The Heavenly Court is following the wishes of all living beings, so how could it not dare to intervene?"

Ji Meng suddenly realized.

He miscalculated, not foreseeing the impact of his actions.

The minds of all living beings are not unchanging.

Ji Meng merely thought that by terrifying them through slaughter, they would wish to turn to the Heavenly Emperor Jun.

After all, if unable to resist the opponent, only by joining the same camp could one avoid being killed.

In this way, many of the Immortals and Buddhas in the Three Realms would inevitably seek allegiance with them.

However, they forgot the consequences of such actions.

With such slaughter of living beings, naturally, they bear deep resentment.

Should the Heavenly Court act and slay Ji Meng and his comrades, following the wishes of all living beings, what adverse effects would there be?

Once Ji Meng understood this point, it was already too late.

The edge of the Western Continent was amidst a continuous great battle.

The Heavenly Court dispatched many experts, coordinating with Sun Wukong’s operation this time.

The Eastern King fought against Emperor Jun; they clashed fiercely, unable to be separated.

Meanwhile, the Ancestral Dragon and Guangcheng opposed Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

This was a battle among peerless experts, the terrifying mana tearing through the earth and mountains.

The Primordial Empress was awe-inspiring, fighting against Supreme Blue Lotus, forcing him to retreat.

Not far away, the Earth God intervened, blocking Sun Mother Xihe.

They battled vigorously, evenly matched.

The Wood God also joined the fray, fighting alongside Yang Jian against Mother Moon Changxi.
