I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Master Li! Please repent and return to the right path. Please quickly turn back and join our Buddhist sect. May you achieve enlightenment and enter the right path soon!"

The Tathagata Buddha remained calm, his expression full of compassion and sympathy, as he gave earnest advice. However, just now, Li Chen had completely seen through the hypocritical nature of these gods and Buddhas!

"Hmph! Stop your pretense and hypocrisy! If I really handed over all the weapons and magical treasures of the 'Five Metals' to you, I'm afraid you would kill us without mercy, and then shamelessly claim to be acting on behalf of heaven and saving the souls of evildoers!"

Li Chen's face was filled with rage, and he responded through gritted teeth. He knew full well that in this world, the strong prey on the weak, and that so-called peace and tranquility were merely illusions bestowed upon the weak by the strong. If he retreated even a little at this moment, he would be doomed!

Thinking of this, Li Chen turned around resolutely, holding the coldly shining Shadow Knife tightly in his right hand, and pounced straight towards the Buddha like an angry tiger.

"Since you are so stubborn and recalcitrant, don't blame me for being ruthless! May the Buddha's light shine upon you!"

Seeing that Li Chen was not moved at all, the Buddha finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy. Without any hesitation, he muttered something and instantly displayed his unique skills.

Dazzling golden Buddha light gushed out from his body, spreading rapidly like a surging tide, and instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. Li Chen saw this and hurriedly exerted his strength to resist the Buddha light, but found that the power was pitifully weak, and Li Chen could only resist it with a little magic power!

Suddenly, Li Chen realized that something was wrong. The Buddha was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. On the surface, he was attacking him, but in fact, he was transferring the power and focus of the attack to people like Fairy Hibiscus!

"what!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, everyone looked over and saw that it was Li Zhaohuang who had unfortunately been attacked. She was already weak and alone, and under the siege of dozens of Arhats, she was already struggling and exhausted.

Now, under the sudden pressure of the Buddha's light, her body suddenly swayed, and she stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing that those wolf-like and ferocious Arhats were about to take advantage of the opportunity to rush over and take her life, the situation was already precarious!

Although she had obtained Professor Li Chen's magical powers, her combat awareness and magical power were still too weak compared to the others. Although she was now able to fight against dozens of Arhats, the sudden attack of the Buddha's light still caught her off guard!

"Damn it! You're so despicable!"

Li Chen cursed, and then Li Chen removed the Feiying Armor and sent the summoner to Li Zhaohuang's hand. Sensing danger, the Feiying Armor directly merged with Li Zhaohuang's body.

After Li Zhaohuang put on this set of armor, the attacks from the Arhats on her body were greatly reduced. Relying on the sharpness of her Shadow Blade, she killed dozens of Arhats who were besieging her and stood up from the ground!

"you!"

At this moment, the Buddha Tathagata was furious, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets. His scarlet eyes flashed with endless anger and murderous intent, and he wished he could immediately kill Li Chen in front of him and the group of people behind him!

Because those Arhats who had been murdered were all his prized disciples, carefully nurtured and cultivated with countless efforts! Now that they had perished in such a manner, how could he not be heartbroken? How could he not gnash his teeth at the murderer?

"Hmph! Today, let me use this invincible equipment to teach you, a hypocritical hypocrite, a severe lesson!"

Li Chen roared, his voice like a bell, resounding through the heavens. As he finished speaking, everyone saw the Thunder Armor he wore suddenly blaze with a dazzling flash of lightning. Then, as if alive, it began to wriggle and transform. Simultaneously, the Thunder Helmet he wore shone brightly, its surface shimmering with mysterious runes. The Thunder Star Staff he gripped in his hand trembled violently, its shaft radiating with lightning and crackling. As Tathagata Buddha gazed in astonishment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—in the blink of an eye.

Li Chen had already changed into a brand new outfit: he was wearing a golden chain mail armor that shone brightly and was extremely gorgeous, and on his feet were a pair of light and agile lotus silk shoes that flowed like clouds. On his head was a majestic and domineering phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and a fiery red robe was floating behind him.

The Thunderbolt Star Staff in his hand had transformed into a long staff inlaid with golden hoops at both ends, with the middle section made of shiny black fine iron. He looked heroic and imposing, like a god of war descending to the earth!

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang! Sun Wukong!"

The Tathagata Buddha cried out in astonishment, his heart awash with turmoil. Li Chen before him was dressed in the same attire as the Monkey King who had wreaked havoc in Heaven. It was as if he had stepped back in time.

Recalling that more than 600 years ago, it was he who tricked Sun Wukong into a bet in Heaven, which led to him being suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for 500 years.

And now, Li Chen appeared in front of everyone wearing such a similar outfit, how could he not make the Buddha feel terrified? The Buddha secretly sensed the aura emanating from Li Chen and felt that the power was unfathomable, far exceeding that of Sun Wukong back then.

According to his original plan, he had coaxed Li Chen into Buddhism, then, using the excuse that Buddhism taboos metal objects and women, he would confiscate Li Chen's magic weapons and weapons, eliminate the women around him, and finally put the painful tight headband on him to completely control him. However, facing Li Chen's unimaginably powerful strength, even the Buddha Tathagata's heart began to beat.

At the same time, the many immortals and Buddhas who witnessed this scene were also shocked, whispering to each other and discussing: "How is this possible? Didn't Sun Wukong's soul fly away a long time ago?"

No one had expected Li Chen to appear in this state, even donning Sun Wukong's former gear. The sight left everyone stunned, their eyes agape, unable to believe what they were witnessing. Without a doubt, at this moment, everyone knew for sure—Li Chen was Sun Wukong's successor!

"go to hell!"

Li Chen raised his staff and charged at the Tathagata Buddha. Six hundred years ago, Sun Wukong was suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha beneath the Five Elements Mountain. Six hundred years later, Sun Wukong's successor, Li Chen, once again battled the Tathagata Buddha and the other Buddhas of Lingshan!
