The black wind roared as the demon king landed, shaking the ground beneath him.
A Grand Entrance
This was a fearsome sight to behold:
Standing a towering ten feet tall, his frame was imposing and muscular.
He wore a red-tasseled copper helmet and intricate golden-purple armor of fine scales.
Around his waist was a lion-headed belt spewing clouds, and his boots were crafted from deerskin.
His golden mane gleamed, his thick black beard coiled like a serpent, and he wielded a massive bronze spiked mace.
A lion-headed figure of regal might.
"Ha-ha! You've arrived, Lion Camel!"
The Bull Demon King stepped forward with a hearty laugh, clasping the newcomer's arm in a display of camaraderie. His warm greeting was notably more enthusiastic than what he had shown the other three demon kings.
Sun Wukong scowled.
The Yu Monkey King raised an eyebrow.
The Great King Yellow Wind cast a subtle glance at the newcomer.
[Race: Demon – Suanni (70%)]
[Realm: Mystic Immortal – Taiyi Ghost Immortal]
[Traits: Suanni True Blood (Gold), Move Mountains and Cross Seas (Gold), Three Heads and Six Arms (Gold), Smoke and Vapor Manipulation (Purple), Master of Blunt Weapons (Purple), Arrogance (Red)…]
"A fine lineage," thought Yellow Wind.
The Suanni, one of the nine sons of the True Dragon, was lion-like in appearance but distinct from actual lions.
"This is the Lion Camel King," explained the Ruyi Taoist, standing nearby. "He rules the Thousand Lions Palace in Lion Camel Ridge and is a sworn brother of our great Bull Demon King."
Lion Camel Ridge?!
Yellow Wind's thoughts raced.
Could this Lion Camel King be related to the future Blue Lion King of Lion Camel Country?
No, it seemed unlikely. The Blue Lion was Manjusri Bodhisattva's mount and a true lion, while this Lion Camel King was more of a dragon-lion hybrid.
Still, five hundred years from now, the Lion Camel Ridge would have a new master, and this one's fate seemed clear.
A Tactless Remark
"Brotherhood!" Sun Wukong and the Yu Monkey King both relaxed at the mention of the Lion Camel King's relationship with the Bull Demon King.
But then, the Lion Camel King's next words sparked chaos.
Sweeping his gaze over the three smaller demon kings, he spoke with a booming voice:
"Bull Brother, why do you personally welcome these little demons?"
His eyes carried an air of superiority, looking down at them—not because of their strength, but their size. His tone was condescending, dismissive of their stature.
Yellow Wind: "Huh… Bold of you."
No wonder his Arrogance trait was red.
Monkey King Strikes
"Zzzt! You mangy mutt! Got no eyes to see greatness? Taste your grandpa's staff!"
Enraged, Sun Wukong yanked the Golden Cudgel from his ear, leaped into the air, and brought it crashing down.
Golden radiance burst forth from the staff as Wukong's figure shone brightly, his aura sharp and overwhelming. The cudgel, wreathed in divine energy, hurtled toward the Lion Camel King like a falling star.
The Lion Camel King's eyes widened in shock. He hastily raised his mace to block the incoming blow.
CRACK!
The weapons collided with a deafening boom.
The earth beneath their feet cracked and fissured, and the sheer force sent shockwaves rippling outward. The Lion Camel King staggered back two steps, each one crushing stones into dust and shaking the ground.
A Stunning Display
"Impossible!"
The scene left the Bull Demon King, the Ruyi Taoist, and the gathered demons stunned.
This hairy-faced monkey, small in stature, had just knocked back a towering demon king!
Even though the Lion Camel King had blocked hastily, the strength disparity was apparent.
Yellow Wind chuckled. "Expected."
The Lion Camel King might have noble blood, but Monkey Brother was a creature born of heaven and earth itself—a being of pure chaos and immense power.
Right now, Sun Wukong was untamed, without the Golden Circlet to suppress him. His victories and divine talents had only bolstered his arrogance, making him fiery and ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Round Two
The Lion Camel King steadied himself, his mane bristling as his face contorted in rage.
"You dare!"
With a thunderous roar, he charged forward, swinging his mace with terrifying force. His massive frame quaked with each step, and his demonic aura rippled like a storm.
"Bring it!" Sun Wukong laughed, his eyes glowing with excitement.
With a flash, Wukong's body expanded to 9 meters tall, his muscles rippling as he gripped the Golden Cudgel. The weapon grew to match his size, becoming a 15-meter-long rod as thick as a bowl.
BOOM!
The two weapons collided again, shaking the mountains.
The battle sent shockwaves through the entire region, causing distant demons to look up in alarm.
"Who dares cause such chaos here?"
"Could it be the bald monks from Mount Ling?"
Curious onlookers emerged from the forest, eager to witness the spectacle.
Enter the Bull Demon King
As the mountain quaked and more demons gathered, the Bull Demon King realized he could no longer let this fight continue.
This was his territory, and if he couldn't control the situation, it would damage his reputation and authority.
Seizing a brief pause in the fight, he strode between the two combatants.
"Enough!"
His voice boomed across the battlefield, silencing the clamor. His imposing presence radiated power, and even the mountain seemed to bow to his command.
The Bull Demon King
Yellow Wind examined him closely:
[Race: Demon – World-Walking White Bull]
[Realm: Mystic Immortal – Taiyi True Immortal]
[Traits: Chaos Bull Demon (Gold), Earth Essence Body (Gold), Earthly Fiend Transformation (Gold), Yin-Returning Serenity (Gold), Mountain-Bearing Physique (Gold), Smoke and Cloud Mastery (Purple), Deep Fortune (Purple), Master of Staff Techniques (Purple), Strategic Genius (Purple), Stubbornness (Red), Temper (Blue)…]
"A Taiyi True Immortal…"
Yellow Wind nodded in understanding. With his strength and versatility, it was no wonder the Bull Demon King held the top position among the Seven Great Sages.
His array of powerful traits even slightly surpassed Yellow Wind's own, making him second only to Sun Wukong.
A Swift End
The Bull Demon King first glared at the Lion Camel King, who immediately stepped back, cowed by his gaze.
Then he turned to Sun Wukong.
Unfazed by the Monkey King's aggression, he raised his fist and met Wukong's Golden Cudgel head-on.
CLANG!
A strange, soft energy wrapped around Wukong's weapon, halting its momentum. Before Wukong could react, the force rebounded, sending him flying backward.
Wukong landed gracefully, visibly shaken.
"What kind of trick was that?" he muttered, staring at the Bull Demon King in surprise.
The Bull Demon King smirked. His technique had subdued Wukong without injuring him, preserving the younger demon's pride while asserting his dominance.
