Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 42: Painted Halberd

"Copy, fuse the left index finger."

After a few breaths, Xiao Chen felt a warm current flowing through the index finger of his left hand, and his index finger had undergone a miraculous change.

Xiao Chen felt that, at this moment, with the power of just one finger, he could probably poke a hole in the head of an ordinary earthly immortal.

"The host's left index finger has been fused into the D-level offensive magic weapon Nine-bone Sky-supporting Steel Fork."

"At the same time, your cultivation level will increase by one hundred years."

……

"Brother Li Shi, I see you are having a hard time carrying it, let me help you lift it."

"Here, take it, take it."

After the copying was completed, Xiao Chen smiled and helped to lift the nine-pronged steel fork and put it on the shoulders of the captains and eel warriors.

Seeing this, the eel warriors couldn't help but feel grateful and said:
"This monster is a very nice person."

"And help us move."

The old Dragon King then ordered the eel warriors to bring out the copper melon double hammers, the nine-section magic whip, the wave-breaking magic spear, the green-blade double swords...but Sun Wukong thought all of them were too light and didn't like them.

Xiao Chen followed the same method and copied these weapons one by one under the pretext of helping to carry them. He replaced all the low-level magic weapons he had with a set of mid-level magic weapons, and his Taoism skills also increased by a thousand years.

The Lion King took a fancy to the nine-section divine whip and shamelessly asked the old Dragon King for it.

The Bull Demon King was a very romantic man. He took a fancy to a pair of green swords and asked the old Dragon King for them, saying that he wanted to give them to a woman to please her.

Xiao Chen took the opportunity to ask.

The Bull Demon King smiled and only said that the person was a princess from a certain country, and said nothing else.

"Princess Jade Face?" "Princess Iron Fan?"

Xiao Chen thought to himself, this old man is very thoughtful and has a way with women, no wonder he is so lucky.

These bandit-like scenes made the old Dragon King's heart bleed.

Sun Wukong shook his head, threw down another sledgehammer, clenched his fist, and made a gesture to strike, saying repeatedly:
"It's too light, not even suitable for my hands, not suitable for my hands! You old Dragon King are so unhappy, why are you hiding something and not bringing out some good stuff!"

The Bull Demon King also stood up and helped Wukong by saying:

"Old Dragon King, my brother has a lot of skills, but he just doesn't have a good weapon to display them. So please fulfill his wish!"

"Yes, yes! Old Dragon, bring me that good weapon quickly, don't refuse!"

The Lion King also stood up and roared.

Ao Guang was terrified when he saw this, and thought that he would have to pay a huge price today to get rid of these plague gods.

That’s it! That’s it!
Ao Guang gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Go, bring out my painted halberd!"

Soon, ten burly strongmen came out, carrying with great effort a Fang Tian painted halberd that was over ten feet long.

Ao Guang said cautiously: "King Sun, my painted halberd weighs 7,200 kilograms! It is the heaviest weapon in my Dragon Palace."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, he ran forward to take it in his hand, threw it a few times, and tried a few tricks, but he was still not satisfied, so he threw it to Xiao Chen, hugged Xiao Chen and said with a smile:

"Toad, you come and try. I remember you were using a halberd. It doesn't look good on me. A halberd is two or three times taller than mine! People will laugh at me if I use a halberd."

Seeing this painted-handle Fang Tian Ji, Xiao Chen was indeed interested in using it. His current weapon was still King Youlin's Blood-Blade Long Halberd, which was not enough in battles above the celestial fairy level.

So in his previous battle with the old yellow bull monster, he used the mountain-felling axe.

Fighting? Even though he is physically very strong, there is no need for him to use his fists to fight against someone else's knife. Wouldn't it be reckless to not use weapons when he has them?

As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger. When it comes to group battles, long weapons are more advantageous.

As I recall, this painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji was indeed quite powerful in the world of Journey to the West, and it seemed to have been taken away by the Golden-Winged Dapeng in the end.

The golden-winged Peng Eagle, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, was not only able to fight back and forth with Sun Wukong, but also broke into Lingshan and beat all the Arhats in the sky into a state of disarray.

"Hey hey hey."

Xiao Chen smiled foolishly and picked up the painted Fang Tian Ji without any refusal.

In his previous life, he liked Xiang Yu, who was "strong enough to move mountains and unparalleled in the world", and Lu Bu, who overwhelmed all the heroes of the Three Kingdoms with the "power of a single halberd". He was indeed unable to resist this kind of halberd-like weapon.

Moreover, the art of force is also suitable for this kind of weapon with large-scale opening and closing capabilities.

However, there is indeed Guan Yu in the world of Journey to the West. The Marshal Guan among the four marshals Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan at the South Gate of Heaven is Guan Yu. Wherever there is Guan Yu, there must be Lu Bu.

"Host, the B-level offensive weapon, the Painted Fang Tian Ji, has been touched."

"This halberd is the most precious treasure of the dragon clan. It is made of nine-turn iron and deep-sea silver mother. It weighs seven thousand two hundred kilograms. It can cut iron like mud and hurt the soul. Wherever the halberd hits, the soul will be extinguished and the spirit will be drained. The copper head and iron brain will turn to ash."

Suddenly, a familiar prompt sound was heard, and several lines of golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Scan and copy?"

"Copy and fuse the left fist bone!"

……

Not long after.

"The host's left fist bone has been fused into the B-level attack weapon, the Painted Fang Tian Ji."

"At the same time, your cultivation level will increase by 500 years."

After the copying was completed, Xiao Chen took the painted Fang Tian Ji, opened his mouth wide, swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp, and stored it.

In the world of Journey to the West, space magical powers are very rare, especially storage-type magical weapons are very rare.

The world of Journey to the West is not like the fantasy novels of later generations where everyone has a storage ring or bag and can store things at will.

The vast majority of weapons of gods and monsters can only be carried with them.

Sun Wukong could only shrink his golden cudgel and put it in his ear, and Yang Jian could only turn his three-pointed, double-edged sword into a folding fan and hold it in his hand.

Even the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court's Army, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li, can only hold the exquisite golden pagoda in his hands at ordinary times.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng could only carry their weapons on their backs. Therefore, when they were in Yuhua County, Xiajun of Tianzhu Kingdom, the Yellow Lion Demon stole their weapons and set up the Nail-Piercing Society.

But Xiao Chen has the magical power of "the universe in his belly", so he can naturally separate a space in his belly for storage, which is equivalent to the function of a storage bag.

Therefore, when Xiao Chen revealed his magical power of space, both the Bull Demon King and the Lion King were shocked.

Even the old Dragon King looked at Xiao Chen once more, thinking:

"Although this monster's cultivation is not high, it can be with three Taiyi Golden Immortals and has such magical powers. I'm afraid it has other abilities, or even some extraordinary followers."

The old Dragon King's words, which were originally intended to stop Xiao Chen, were temporarily stuck in his throat.

"Old Dragon King, these weapons are useless. Bring us some heavier weapons!"

Sun Wukong was very dissatisfied. Seeing that everyone had obtained weapons but he alone did not have a weapon that suited him, he became more and more annoyed.

"This... Immortal, the only weapon in my palace that is the heaviest is this Fang Tian Hua Ji. There is no other weapon."

Ao Guang was worried and didn't know where to find weapons for the monkey, so he answered carefully.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "As the ancients said, 'The Dragon King of the Sea is worried that he has no treasures!' Go look for them again. If you find anything you like, I'll offer you my price."

After saying this, Sun Wukong ran to the old Dragon King's throne and started to throw a tantrum:

"Without weapons, I, Old Sun, will not leave this door. I won't leave, I won't leave!"

Sun Wukong's move left the old Dragon King with no choice but to spread his hands and said:

"I dare not deceive the Immortal, it is indeed gone!"

While they were talking, the Luang Po who was hiding in the back hall greeted and motioned for the old Dragon King to come over.

Upon seeing this, the old Dragon King asked Sun Wukong to take him with him in the hall and then went to the back hall.

Luang Po said, "Your Majesty, it is no small matter to see this saint. In our sea treasure, there is a piece of precious iron that is fixed at the bottom of the river. It has been shining brightly and auspiciously in the past few days. Is it time to meet this saint?"

Ao Guang shook his head and said, "That was a stator used by Dayu to determine the depth of rivers and seas when he was controlling floods. It was a piece of magic iron, not a weapon, so what use could it have?"

Luang Po said: "Don't worry about whether he needs it or not, just give it to him. No matter how he wants to modify it, just send it out of the palace."

Ao Guang agreed with what he said, and went to the front hall to tell Sun Wukong about the Dinghai Shenzhen:
"My lord, in this sea treasure of mine, there is a piece of Dinghai Shenzhen iron. It is a treasure that King Yu used to measure rivers and seas in ancient times. If you can lift it, I will give it to you to make a weapon!"

Sun Wukong said, "Show it to me."

The Dragon King shook his hands and said, "I can't carry it! I can't lift it! You have to go and take a look yourself."

Sun Wukong asked, "Where is the sea hidden? Lead me there."

Afterwards, Ao Guang, Sun Wukong, Xiao Chen, Bull Demon King, Lion King, and a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals went to the place where the treasure was hidden in the sea.
