Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Thunder World, the Abyss. The unyielding battle between the two races continued, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, but not a single soul was willing to withdraw.

Just then, a strange roar came from afar, and a monster with nine heads appeared on the battlefield. Its powerful and tyrannical presence swept across the entire battlefield, quieting the noisy clash of arms.

Iron-Crutch Li frowned, looking at the monster that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and wondered, "What kind of monster is this? Speaking of nine heads, there're creatures like Xiangliu, Ghost Chariot, and Jiuying in the world.

Yet, this monster is unlike any of them; it seems to be a collection of the world's mistakes, full of ominous tyranny and bloodthirst, devoid of the slightest rationality, acting solely on instinct."

Lu Yu and others also shook their heads in disbelief, and even someone as worldly as Iron-Crutch Li didn't recognize the creature, let alone them.

The moment this monster entered the battlefield, it went berserk, attacking indiscriminately whether it was Blood Beasts or thunder beings, killing all creatures from both sides with ferocious might.

This was a feast of slaughter, with the nine-headed monster rampaging as if in an uninhabited land. Its body was tough, impervious to various attacks, and neither the Blood Beasts nor the thunder beings could hurt it.

"Gaba!" The thunder beings let out a roar, and numerous blue-purple beings suddenly swelled up, seemingly about to self-destruct. Lu Yu and the others immediately sensed danger, recognizing that a great battle was imminent, and quickly retreated.

A massive thunderstorm exploded instantaneously, its scale far surpassing the previous encounter with Lord Qiantang. It truly seemed like a world-ending catastrophe; the entire microcosm began to tremble, and tiny cracks appeared in the void, like a piece of glass covered in cracks.

The apocalyptic storm engulfed the nine-headed monster in an instant, the dazzling lightning filling the entire world, preventing Lu Yu and his companions from seeing what was happening inside.

The enormous aftershocks swept through the whole world, stirring up towering waves and forcing Lu Yu and his companions to flee in a rather disheveled manner.

When the storm gradually subsided, the nine-headed monster was revealed.

Although there were burnt marks on its body, there was no sign of its vitality weakening; the colossal thunderstorm seemingly didn't inflict much damage on it.

The nine-headed monster let out a piercing roar to the sky, its nine heads and eighteen eyes instantly fixing on Lu Yu and his companions, making their scalps tingle.

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent and madness. Lu Yu and the others knew that escape would not be easy this time; the nine-headed monster, filled with the desire to kill, clearly did not intend to let any living creature go.

The monster quickly approached Lu Yu and his companions, with its nine heads attacking them in turn.

Naturally, they weren't about to surrender without a fight, and a great battle unfolded. The nine heads of the monster each possessed different abilities: some could spit fire, some could control water, some could manipulate thunder, and some even spewed poison gas.

Its body was extremely tough; when Lu Yu struck it with the Sword of state, he could only produce a metallic clanging sound, sparks even flying off, but he couldn't breach the monster's defenses.

Not far from the battlefield, Dragon Tamer Arhat had already arrived. Upon seeing the nine-headed monster, he couldn't help but inhale sharply, exclaiming, "What kind of creature is this, and why does it bear such a grudge against the world?"

He also noticed that the monster seemed irrational, filled only with hatred for all living beings. Not daring to be careless, he quickly rushed into the battlefield, knowing all too well that if Lu Yu and his companions fell, he would be the next target.

Dragon Tamer Arhat invoked his Arhat Golden Body, the Buddha Light shining intensely. As the golden Buddha Light touched the monster, a black aura could be seen evaporating—this was the so-called resentment aura, and for some reason, the monster seemed to contain an endless supply of it within.

The Buddha Light greatly restrained the resentment. The arrival of the Dragon Tamer Arhat greatly reduced the pressure on Lu Yu and his comrades, yet they dared not be the slightest bit negligent. This monster was quite troublesome, with a tough body and nine heads, each possessing a different ability, all formidable in their own right.

This battle was different from the previous wars, lacking the tragedy of earlier battles, yet the intensity far surpassed them.

Lu Yu and the others deployed their Divine Skills, stirring the entire world. At that moment, Lu Yu transformed into a Giant, with the Treasure Vase atop his head and the Treasured Sword in hand, fighting fiercely with the nine-headed monster. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing this, Iron-Crutch Li loudly cheered them on, unwilling to be outdone. His iron crutch flew into the sky and with a shake, he turned into a black dragon to entangle with the monster in battle.

The Dragon Tamer Arhat's Buddha Light shone everywhere, causing the monster's resentful energy to continuously dissipate. At this point, everyone was united, determined to subdue the creature.

"I'll help too!" A resounding voice rang out—it was the unlucky Lord Qiantang who had arrived.

Upon seeing Lord Qiantang, the monster flew into a rage, and in its lack of reason, it actually spat out two words: "Traitor."

It even abandoned its fight with Lu Yu and the others, charging straight at Lord Qiantang.

Lord Qiantang paled at this sight. He had just witnessed the ferociousness of the monster and feared he was no match for it alone. At the same time, he was puzzled as to why the creature would call him a traitor, attacking him with such relentless fury.

Naturally, Lu Yu and his comrades would not give it the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The moment the monster charged at Lord Qiantang, they followed in pursuit, attacking mercilessly.

As the saying goes, "Even ants can bite an elephant to death." Although their attacks seemed to cause little harm to the monster, through their relentless efforts, they finally caused it pain.

The nine heads roared, their eerie cries causing Lu Yu and the others to feel splitting headaches. Enduring the pain, Lu Yu pulled out a brick and smacked it squarely on one of the heads, instantly interrupting its roar.

Seizing the opportunity, Han Zhongli fanned with his palm-leaf fan, creating a strong wind that swept the waters of thunder towards the monster.

Their round of attacks significantly slowed the monster's assault, giving Lord Qiantang a chance to breathe and successfully escape the chase.

A nameless rage boiled inside him, feeling as if everything had been going wrong since he entered this world, as if the entire world was rejecting him.

The True Dragon coiled, opened its mouth wide, and spewed forth a blazing flame at the monster. Yet, the monster neither dodged nor avoided, with one head opening its mouth to release a murky water that extinguished Lord Qiantang's flames.

"What kind of monster is this, so difficult to deal with? Lucky it doesn't have its wits about it, or else with such Divine Skills, none of us would expect to leave here alive today," said Lord Qiantang.

"Who knows? But since it called you a traitor, it probably has something to do with your Dragon Clan," Iron-Crutch Li said while fending off the monster's assault.

"You better hurry up and check if there's any record of this monster in your clan's annals, so we can find the right strategy against it," Han Zhongli also spoke up.

These words made Lord Qiantang's face show a touch of embarrassment.
