I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Master! Let's go check on those villagers!"

Li Zhaohuang shouted excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. Before she even finished speaking, she couldn't wait to kick off and bolt towards the village like a wild horse.

However, at this moment, Li Chen hurriedly spoke up to stop them, "Wait, disciple, we won't go to visit them!" His voice was steady and firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing his master's disapproval, Li Zhaohuang paused and turned, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment. Li Chen looked at the crowd solemnly and spoke slowly, "Next, we will face an extremely powerful enemy—the Tathagata Buddha's own uncle, the Golden-Winged Roc, who once slaughtered countless innocent people in the Lion Country!"

At this point, Li Chen couldn't help but frown, seeming to find this formidable opponent quite daunting. He then continued, "As for the identity of the previous enemy of the Golden-Winged Roc, I currently don't know, but that's not the key point. If I insist on forcibly killing it, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Buddhist community. Therefore, before doing so, we must carefully consider whether we can, under the protection of Tathagata Buddha, successfully eliminate this evildoer who has caused so many tragedies!"

"So that's how it is. Facing such a monster, there's no need to think too much. Just kill it directly!"

Li Zhaohuang blinked her large, clear eyes and spoke with an innocent expression. She hadn't realized the complex web of relationships behind the Golden-Winged Dapeng. The Golden-Winged Dapeng wasn't simply the Buddha's uncle; his mother was the Phoenix, a legendary mythical beast.

Before officially setting off, Li Chen decided to carefully inspect all the equipment he had brought with him. He was stunned to discover the sheer number of magical weapons he now possessed. Not to mention the terrifyingly powerful Annihilation Soul Axe, the captivating Modo Soul Banner alone was enough to strike fear into countless foes; not to mention the venomous yet spiritual Five Poison Beasts, the spiraling water jets of the Shiluo Conch, the mysteriously powerful Luobei Pure Bottle, and the radiant Moyuan Beads.

Each of these magical treasures was a rare treasure, and any one of them was enough to cause a sensation. Li Chen's mounts were even more impressive, with a divine deer from the Snowland accompanying him, and a majestic fire unicorn providing protection.

Both were rare and precious beasts, possessing extraordinary strength. Li Chen himself also possessed profound attainments in the art of corpse refining, having already reached the pinnacle of perfection.

At this moment, he has both the strength and the magic weapons. He has also gathered a large number of loyal followers under his command, forming an extremely powerful force.

Just as Li Chen was immersed in self-indulgence and secretly feeling proud of himself, suddenly, an indescribable atmosphere of unease swept over him like a tide and surrounded him in an instant.

Li Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came over him. After a tense investigation, he was horrified to discover that he had actually lost a crucial magic weapon - the rare treasure Yuanxie that he had won in the fierce battle with Xie Li Chen!

"Where did Yuanxie go?"

Li Chen asked the girls in confusion, and the girls shook their heads, saying they didn't know where Yuan Xie had gone. Li Chen suddenly felt uneasy at this time. If Yuan Xie disappeared and the evil Li Chen came out again, then he would have to start a fierce battle with the evil Li Chen again.

Meanwhile, since the Ancestral Witch of Lightning invaded the fairyland, the Lightning Mother Zhu Pei Niang has been engaged in a fierce battle with him. In recent days, the Thunder God Lei Zhenzi has also come to help the Lightning Mother Zhu Pei Niang fight against the Ancestral Witch of Lightning.

"Weren't you sealed by the Thunder Ancestral Witch?"

Dianmu asked. She remembered that according to the news, Lei Gong Lei Zhenzi had been sealed by the Thunder Ancestor Witch, but why could he arrive in time at this moment?

"It was Sun Wukong's successor, Li Chen, who saved me. He defeated the Ancestral Witch of Thunder and saved me. I have arranged for people to pick him up along the way. When the time comes, we will join forces with him to defeat the Ancestral Witch of Lightning!"

Lei Gong said this with great confidence, and then he and Dian Mu cast a spell together to resist the magic attack of the Thunder Ancestral Witch. It turned out that Lei Gong had been sealed by the Thunder Ancestral Witch with his life seal. Unless someone killed the Thunder Ancestral Witch, the seal would never be broken, and Li Chen accidentally broke the seal.

At this moment, the atmosphere in front of the Liuli Palace was extremely tense.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here?"

A majestic celestial soldier shouted loudly and stepped forward, blocking the group of people trying to pass through the palace gate. Beside him, numerous celestial soldiers and generals, holding gleaming weapons, stood in formation, forming a solid line of defense, firmly blocking the group of people outside.

At the front of the crowd, the leader, clad in a black cloak that enveloped him from head to toe, shrouded him in mystery. Facing the heavenly soldiers' questioning, he calmly reached out and slowly removed the cloak from his head. In an instant, a horrifying, hideous face was revealed.

That face was as ugly as a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell. It was shriveled like a dried-up skeleton, covered with a layer of rough, sandpaper-like human skin that seemed ready to fall off at any moment.

A closer look revealed a resemblance between the human skin and Li Chen's features, though more distorted and bizarre, sending a chill down one's spine. His eyes were red, radiating murderous intent, and he exuded a terrifying aura like that of an ancient evil god.

"Not good! They are definitely not good people, but evil! Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Seeing this, the celestial soldier's face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly. Before he finished speaking, the celestial soldiers raised their weapons and charged at the group with a roar. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the earth, and the flashes of swords and sabers crisscrossed.

Yet, facing the oncoming celestial host, the leader showed no fear. He muttered something, and suddenly, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a strange staff made from countless bones. The staff exuded a chilling, eerie aura that frightened everyone.

At that moment, a hideous, terrifying staff gripped the man's claws, shriveled yet powerful like dead wood. Instantly, a radiant light shone around him, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly transforming into eight identical clones.

These clones, like ghosts, moved in unison, waving their staffs in unison with their original form. The shadows of the staffs intertwined to form an impenetrable net. Their figures were as swift as lightning, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of piercing the air could be heard as they launched a fierce and devastating attack on the heavenly soldiers with the force of thunder. The fierce attack was like a violent storm, leaving no way for anyone to dodge.

Accompanied by screams, numerous celestial soldiers were struck and fell to the ground. However, this was not the end. Those figures suddenly turned in the air and suddenly, like a falling star, swooped down again with devastating momentum, smashing fiercely into the fallen celestial soldiers on the ground. For a moment, dust flew, the earth shook, and the whole scene seemed to have arrived.

This shocking move was Li Chen's favorite skill—Extreme Fire Demon Slash! Once this move was unleashed, its power was astonishing, enough to terrify the enemy.

At this moment, several figures stood quietly beside the leader. When they saw the celestial soldiers lying scattered across the ground, they smiled grimly, their laughter echoing in the air, chilling everyone's blood. Then, they slowly removed their black cloaks.

What is shocking is that their faces look exactly the same as those of Fairy Hibiscus and others, but the difference is that their faces appear more distorted and more hideous, as if they are possessed by demons.

Just as the uninvited guests were about to advance deeper, the celestial soldiers, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly stretched out their hands, attempting to grab Li Chen's footsteps and stop them from advancing. Unfortunately, their efforts were doomed to fail. Li Chen snorted coldly, and suddenly released a powerful force of lightning from his hands.

The lightning danced like a silver snake, instantly enveloping the heavenly soldiers who attempted to resist. After a flash of dazzling lightning, the heavenly soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to dust and dissipated into the air.
