I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

At that moment, the Skyship, under the immense force of the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch, which seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth, let out a terrifying creaking sound. The sound, like the low hum of a demon, sent chills down their spines. At the same time, everyone felt a powerful earthquake beneath their feet, as if the entire world was about to collapse.

You must know that this celestial ship was personally granted to Li Chen and Nezha by the Jade Emperor, Lord of Heaven. Not only was its exterior adorned with magnificent splendor, but its interior was also incredibly solid, like an unshakable fortress. However, at this moment, under the assault of the Four Ancestral Witches, it began to tear apart.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Chen did not dare to delay at all. He quickly activated the profound magic power in his body, tried his best to stabilize his body, stood on the crumbling sky ship, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone jump down quickly! We must leave this sky ship as soon as possible!" At this moment, leaving the sky ship has become a top priority. If there is any hesitation, I am afraid that everyone will fall into an irretrievable situation.

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, but they also understood the urgency of the situation. So, they all responded in unison, leaping to their feet. As light as a swallow, they instantly leaped from the skyship. Then, each of them unleashed their magical powers, controlling auspicious clouds to stand steadily in mid-air, facing the terrifying Four Symbols Ancestral Witch from afar.

At that moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, the skyship finally could no longer withstand the violent force of the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch and completely disintegrated. Countless fragments fell rapidly from the clouds like meteors, smashing into the ground with endless power.

This powerful force crashed onto the ground, flattening several hilltops. If everyone hadn't left the skyship in time, this magnificent skyship would have become their coffin.

Facing such a perilous battle, Li Chen showed no fear. He reached out and conjured his formidable weapon—a staff emitting a mysterious glow. The moment it appeared, the sky and clouds shifted, and the air around them seemed to grow heavier with its presence.

Meanwhile, Nezha, the Third Prince, showed no sign of weakness. He wielded a flaming spear, its tip ablaze with flames; he rode a wind-fire wheel, its flames shooting skyward. He also wore the Qiankun Ring and the Hun Tian Ling, two divine artifacts dangling from his body. He looked majestic, like a god of war descending to earth.

Fairy Hibiscus and the others were also on full alert, each unleashing their unique weapons, fully prepared for battle. At that moment, the surrounding sky was shrouded in thick, dark clouds. Lightning danced through the clouds like silver snakes, thunder roared deafeningly, and bean-sized raindrops, mixed with a fierce storm, poured down, instantly enveloping the entire area, forming a scene of life-or-death duel.

"Nezha, Third Prince, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect that we would have to face such a huge creature right after we entered the battle! Otherwise, you should retreat first, and I and the others will cover your retreat and ensure your safe departure!"

Li Chen's expression was as calm as water as he spoke slowly. You must know that the behemoth before you is incomparably more powerful than the other Ancestral Witches. It's truly incomparably powerful. If Nezha becomes fearful or retreats, he and Fairy Hibiscus and the others will surely find ways to protect Nezha and ensure his safe escape from the battlefield.

However, Nezha simply sneered and nonchalantly replied, "Brother Li Chen, are you kidding me? This prince has always loved challenging strong foes, and has always dreamed of encountering a world-shaking battle! Now that this rare opportunity has been presented to me, how can I miss it? Let's stop talking nonsense and attack together!"

Before he finished speaking, an angry roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Nezha holding the famous Fire Spear that frightened everyone in the world, and the Wind Fire Wheel under his feet was burning brightly, bursting out with blazing flames.

His figure was as fast as lightning, rushing out like an arrow from a bow, bringing with it a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, Nezha had rushed to the Four Elephants Ancestral Witch, and suddenly thrust out with the Fire Spear in his hand, the tip of the spear flashing with dazzling flames, piercing straight at the Four Elephants Ancestral Witch.

"Brother Nezha, don't panic, I'm here to lend you a hand! Look at my special move—True Fire Demon Slash!"

Seeing Nezha so bravely charging towards the Four Elephants Ancestral Witch, Li Chen felt a surge of heroic spirit, secretly resolving not to let Nezha face danger alone. He formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and instantly, a brilliant light shone around him. Then, with a flash of his body, he transformed into eight identical clones.

Each of these eight clones held a staff identical to the one in Li Chen's hand, looking majestic and imposing. They roared in unison and took large strides together, pouncing towards the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch like tigers descending from the mountains.

"Hmph! You two ignorant brats, you actually dare to challenge my authority! Since that's the case, I'll let you know how to write the word regret today!"

Upon seeing this, the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch's eyes flashed with disdain, and he snorted coldly. Then, he opened his bloody maw and violently spewed out countless razor-sharp bone spurs. These bone spurs rushed towards Li Chen and Nezha like a torrential downpour, tearing the air apart wherever they passed, emitting bursts of sharp, piercing, air-breaking sounds.

At this critical moment, a massive ball of earth suddenly rolled in from the side at incredible speed. This ball, several feet in size, had an uneven surface and emitted a strong earth-element spiritual energy. It landed perfectly in front of Li Chen and Nezha, shielding them from the dense, tidal wave of bone spurs.

However, despite the seemingly indestructible earth ball, it was still somewhat vulnerable to the indestructible bone spikes shot out by the Four Symbols Ancestral Witches. Before long, the earth ball was riddled with holes from the bone spikes, and blood gushed out.

It turned out to be the stone spirit Xiao Yan had summoned in an emergency. Unfortunately, even though the stone spirit tried its best to protect Li Chen and Nezha, it was ultimately unable to withstand the terrifying attack of the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch, but it did give Li Chen and Nezha the opportunity to attack.

"Stone Spirit!"

Xiao Yan felt her heart break as she cried out in grief. Ever since meeting Shi Ling, they had weathered countless storms together, and a deep and incomparable friendship had already been established between them.

It could be said that the stone spirit was not only her companion, but also like a family member. However, at this moment, the sight of the wounded and dying stone spirit before her made her heart ache, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Shui Ling! Hurry up and heal Shi Ling!"

Despite her inner grief, Xiao Yan quickly calmed down and decisively gave Shui Ling an order. Shui Ling waved her hands, and rays of blue light flew out, continuously pouring into the stone spirit's body. As the light penetrated, the hideous wounds on the stone spirit's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While they were frantically trying to treat the wounded, the nine Li Chens and Nezha had already arrived before the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch. Each Li Chen held a staff gleaming with a faint flame, while Nezha, standing on a wind-fire wheel, held a flaming spear. The tip of the spear was ablaze with flames, seemingly capable of incinerating everything. Their attack, like a torrential downpour, poured down upon the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch.

Facing such a ferocious attack, the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch remained expressionless. Seeing Li Chen and Nezha's attacks about to reach him, he simply thought, and in an instant, a dense layer of sharp bone spurs sprouted from his body. These bone spurs gleamed with a chilling cold light, as hard as steel.
