Chapter 639 - 638: Farewell, Black Rakshasa! [First Update]
Chapter 639 - 638: Farewell, Black Rakshasa! [First Update]
Despite in many folk tales about the Western Journey Calamity Era, Emperor Haotian seems not to have any Heaven-Reaching means.
But if you think a bit, how could someone who had the Western Heaven Tathagata pay respects, the Taiqing Saint’s avatar assist, and all forces of the Five Great Immortal Realms revere, be a mediocre person?
People like Tianpeng and Nezha, who seemingly experienced the Western Journey Era, know much better than future generations just how terrifying Emperor Haotian was!
"If he were to reappear in the world, it would truly be lively."
"Not to mention the current power dynamics, at least the Buddha Country would be on edge..."
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong suddenly began to look forward to it.
You should know that it was back when the Celestial Court collapsed.
Closely related to Western Heaven Tathagata’s layout.
The last battle before Emperor Haotian disappeared was also with Tathagata Buddha.
That great battle isolated the outside world and erupted in another space-time.
Future generations do not know the exact details, only that Emperor Haotian disappeared from then on, while Western Heaven Tathagata overshadowed all.
"Saying this, it’s getting more and more curious about that Qingqiu Land..." Tianpeng couldn’t help rubbing his hands, and the others were all very excited.
However, the Ox Demon King was like a splash of cold water.
"But Iron Fan has already gone, there are no more Rakshasa Races in this age, without a true Rakshasa, it’s impossible to break through that Sea Eye Barrier."
"This..."
As soon as this was said, everyone exchanged glances, all showing difficult expressions.
Lin Heng said solemnly, "I will forcefully break the barrier!"
His gaze was firm, this was the only way to save Bai Suzhen, and since the entrance to Qingqiu had been found, Lin Heng would not miss it.
However, the Ox Demon King sternly stopped him.
"Qingqiu is far more terrifying than imagined, the most powerful figures in ancient history, none but those who brought the Rakshasa Race with them could enter silently."
"If the Daoist Lord forcibly breaks the barrier, not to mention whether it will succeed, even if it does, it will surely disturb the existence within."
Lin Heng exclaimed, "No matter what existence, I fear no battle!"
His tone was extremely cold, his expression firm, his mind was made up and unquestionable.
Everyone wanted to speak but stopped, their eyes filled with worry.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly said, "No need to forcefully break in."
Hmm?
Everyone was taken aback, and all turned their puzzled gazes towards him.
He looked at the Red-bottomed Macaque.
Lin Heng upon seeing this, suddenly recalled something, his eyes narrowed slightly with surprise and doubt, "Black Rakshasa?"
"That’s right."
The Red-bottomed Macaque smiled faintly, "A hundred years ago, I had the True Monarch find the Rakshasa Prince who escaped to the Small Thousand World with the Underworld."
As soon as this was said, everyone present showed excitement.
Lin Heng was also delighted by this.
He remembered when he first met Yang Jian, who casually mentioned this matter, indeed Yang Jian had gone to his world before his ascension, not only did he bring back the Black Rakshasa but also took the Book of Life and Death.
And after the first meeting, the Book of Life and Death was given to him!
Yang Jian said calmly, "I never thought the Black Rakshasa would have its use today, everything is due to the foresight of the Red-bottomed Macaque."
He was not elevating the Red-bottomed Macaque, just stating facts.
Yang Jian had many things that he sought the other’s advice on.
The Red-bottomed Macaque had lived through long ages and knew many secrets unknown to others, laying deep plans for many matters.
That is why it early on had Yang Jian take the Black Rakshasa away.
"Where...where is he?" The Ox Demon King suddenly asked, his eyes a bit complex.
From Lin Heng’s words, the Ox Demon King had learned before that his brother-in-law escaped to the Small Thousand World following the downfall of the Underworld.
"Uncle..." Red Boy was also in a daze.
Since his birth, he had never seen this uncle.
Or rather, before Lin Heng mentioned the Black Rakshasa’s family letter, the entire Red Boy family, including Princess Iron Fan, believed the Black Rakshasa had perished long ago.
Of course, that was what the whole world thought.
Thus, Princess Iron Fan was called the last Rakshasa.
"Come, meet your nephew."
The Red-bottomed Macaque maintained a calm demeanor, waving its hand to open a spatial gate behind itself.
The world behind the gate was very small, barren, with mountains and rivers stretching no more than ten thousand miles.
It was incomparable to the world that once served as the battlefield of sages.
And in this little world, a Black Mountain stood out.
Chains crossed the sky above the Black Mountain.
A familiar figure.
Made many present frown.
"It’s you!" Tianpeng gritted his teeth.
The figure trapped by chains on the Black Mountain was none other than the Six-Eared Macaque that once replaced Sun Wukong!
Compared to Tianpeng’s agitation, Sun Wukong was very calm.
"Long time no see."
The Six-Eared Macaque was the first to speak, smirking coldly at Sun Wukong.
"Long time no see."
Sun Wukong replied calmly.
He, who once thought day and night about revenge, now didn’t know why, seeing the Six-Eared Macaque, there was no stirring in his heart.
Sun Wukong’s calmness made the Six-Eared Macaque a bit dissatisfied, its face turned icy cold, "Don’t you want to kill me?"
Sun Wukong laughed, "What, you want to die?"
The Six-Eared Macaque was stunned for a moment, somewhat speechless.
At this point, the Red-bottomed Macaque said, "Alright, wanting to live or die isn’t up to you."
"You’ll still be useful in the future."
After saying this, it waved its hand, causing the Black Mountain to rumble, rotating its back side.
On the backside.
There was a monster whose hands and feet were bound by chains too.
It was huge, with two horns on its head, a fierce face, and entirely pitch black.
"Black Rakshasa..."
Lin Heng murmured, feeling as if worlds apart.
Recalling those years.
Ascending from the Human World.
Lin Heng was besieged by the ghosts of the Underworld, and it should have been certain death.
It was the Black Rakshasa who rescued him, allowing him to survive.
Though it was for the Taishan Prefect’s Corpse Wrapping Cloth, there was no denying the Black Rakshasa had saved Lin Heng’s life.
Meeting now.
Lin Heng naturally felt a lot.
"Taixu Celestial Venerable..."
"I never expected that you, who ascended to the Upper Realm, could reach this point. It seems back then, I did indeed save an incredible person."
The Black Rakshasa spoke with a smile, its gaze filled with infinite emotion.
Though it had been trapped, over the years, it had heard many things about Lin Heng from the Six-Eared Macaque, Red-bottomed Macaque, and others.
Truth be told.
It had never expected the Daoist from the Human World back then to reach such heights after his ascension...
"Black Rakshasa..." At this time, the Ox Demon King couldn’t help but call out softly, his tone carrying a hint of tension.
However, the Black Rakshasa ignored him, turning its gaze towards Red Boy, its fierce eyes shimmering with complex light.
Its eyes reddened slightly, and it reflected, "Looks really good, just like my sister."
