Chapter 143: War Breaks Out (3)

Jecheon Daeseong.

Once a stone monkey, then became the Monkey King, received the name Wukong, rode the cloud somersault, extorted the Ruyi Staff from the Dragon King, threatened Yama and erased his name from the Book of Life and Death, went up to Cheon-gye to cause havoc, and even stole and ate the Heavenly Peaches…

There was a time when he ran wild without knowing better.

He admits that his behavior was childish.

Just thinking about it makes his face burn with embarrassment.

But did he only commit evil deeds?

He traveled all the way to the Western Regions to bring back the Buddhist scriptures.

He even received the strange dharma name of Victorious Fighting Buddha.

So now he was staying in the Realm of the Buddhas.

The Realm of the Buddhas was paradise.

A place where all worldly worries and concerns disappeared.

Beautiful scenery, crystal clear air, moderate temperature that was neither cold nor hot, lush green plants and gentle animals, a quiet and serene atmosphere.

Right.

It was boring.

There was no fun at all.

It wasn’t paradise but a prison.

Shakyamuni Buddha had deceived him.

The reward for risking his life to travel to the Western Regions was imprisonment.

It was dirty and petty.

And what about the cunning Avalokiteśvara?

She did remove the golden circlet from his head.

However, the physical golden circlet was just a deception.

In reality, it was an intangible energy, a terrifying suggestion.

Even without wearing the golden circlet, its effects remained.

Because of this, every time he attempted to escape, he couldn’t resist and was caught by Avalokiteśvara.

The way to break free?

He needed powerful force to destroy the intangible golden circlet created by Buddhist law.

The Heavenly Peach was the answer.

So all of Jecheon Daeseong’s attention was focused solely on the Heavenly Peach.

The Heavenly Peach was his hope and life’s purpose.

With the power of the Heavenly Peach, he would completely destroy this damn intangible golden circlet.

Then he would flee to the human world where the Buddhas couldn’t easily intrude and regain his freedom.

Finally, the opportunity had come.

The Heavenly Peach of Dowon had ripened.

Owner my ass!

Whoever eats it first owns it.

Kyaaaaaaak!

A piece of cloud flew toward Dowon.

It looked like just an ordinary cloud, but Jecheon Daeseong was hidden inside it.

The peach tree came into view.

The Heavenly Peach ripened lusciously at its center.

“Ohhh…”

This wasn’t the time to just admire it.

He had to finish this before Avalokiteśvara noticed.

Swoooosh!

The cloud disappeared and a monkey appeared – Jecheon Daeseong.

He walked step by step toward the Heavenly Peach.

Crack! Crackle! Crackle crackle…

With each step he took, the barriers broke helplessly.

Clang clang clang clang!!

Finally, even the last remaining formation was smashed to pieces.

“Hehehe.”

Jecheon Daeseong approached right up to the Heavenly Peach.

But right at that moment!

“Damn stone monkey, don’t you dare move from there!”

It was Seo Wang-mo.

“Huh? Seo Wang-mo? What’s with those clothes?”

“I told you to stop!”

“I did stop, didn’t I?”

Even while speaking, Jecheon Daeseong reached his hand toward the Heavenly Peach.

“What do you think you’re doing!”

Whoooosh!

“Huh?”

A net was cast from Seo Wang-mo’s hand.

Cheonra Geonkon-mang.

Seo Wang-mo’s treasure that no one could escape from once caught in the net.

But it didn’t apply to Jecheon Daeseong.

“Kikikik!”

Swoooosh!

His body shrank in an instant.

Hop! Hop!

Jumping like a flea, he slipped right through the holes of the Cheonra Geonkon-mang net, then plucked a hair from his head and blew on it.

At the same time, four Jecheon Daeseong clones that had appeared from nowhere restrained her from left and right.

“Wang-mo, thanks as always. For raising the Heavenly Peach so splendidly like this.”

“Eeek! Let go! Let me go!”

But with her arms and legs held, Wang-mo couldn’t move.

“Kikikik!”

“Kekek!”

“Eheheh.”

“Can’t move, can you?”

Does clone technique only create illusions?

Absolutely not.

Though not as strong as the original, these clones had enough power equivalent to ordinary demons.

Jecheon Daeseong smiled wickedly and approached the Heavenly Peach again.

And grabbing the Heavenly Peach.

“Since you’re going to be eaten anyway, don’t throw a tantrum.”

There was slight resistance, but…

Pluck!

The Heavenly Peach fell helplessly from the branch into Jecheon Daeseong’s grasp.

He had finally gotten it in his hands.

Now he just had to eat it.

“I’ll eat you well.”

He was about to bring it to his mouth.

Suddenly!

Sssssssssss…

Some unpleasant sound was heard from above in the sky.

“Hmm?”

What’s that?

When he looked up.

“Huk!”

It was black.

Tens of thousands of rectangular iron ingots covered the entire sky.

Spot!

A immortal appeared out of nowhere.

It was Danggumak.

“You lowly monkey bastard! I’ll crush you to pieces.”

The countless iron ingots floating in the sky instantly became sharp and pointed.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

They poured down like rays of light.

“Eek!”

Each one was a heavy, sharp lump of iron.

That wasn’t all that came from the sky.

Iron ingots also shot out from the immortal’s palms.

“Damn it!”

Pababak!

Pabak!

Jecheon Daeseong rolled around frantically.

This was not something to take lightly.

Each one contained tremendous energy.

It would be dangerous to face them head-on.

But.

‘If I don’t get hit, that’s all that matters.’

Swish, swswswswish.

Hair fell from his body.

They all transformed into monkeys.

They multiplied infinitely.

The first split hair became a clone, and that clone’s hair split again to become another clone, then split again, multiplied again.

Pababababak!

The clones blocked the pouring sharp iron ingots with their bodies.

They disappeared as soon as they were hit.

Still, there were more monkeys being created than were disappearing.

And so, after a while.

Dowon and the Palace of Peach Blossoms were completely covered with monkeys.

* * *

Ha Seon-go, who had gone down to the 1st Floor Multiplex, met Ju-seon.

“Drunkard.”

“…Huh?”

“You have speaker broadcasting equipment here, right?”

“Hmm, yes.”

It was installed for announcement broadcasts while operating Seongyeworld.

“Give me the microphone.”

“Why?”

“Stop asking questions and bring it!”

When Ju-seon took out a microphone from the drawer.

“I just speak into this?”

“Don’t hold it too close.”

“Got it.”

Ha Seon-go started the broadcast.

Zzing!

“Ah! Microphone test. Ahem, can you hear me? Anyway, everyone pay attention.”

The speakers installed throughout Seongyeworld rang out loudly.

“Currently, a monkey has come to Dowon to steal the Heavenly Peach. That Heavenly Peach promised to Kim Tae-ju.”

The Immortal Realm suddenly became quiet.

Only Ha Seon-go’s voice could be heard.

“One monkey could be handled by just Dok-seon and Seo Wang-mo, but… the stone monkey has allies. To be precise, he will have them in the future. He’s not alone. If we’re not careful, the Heavenly Peach meant for Kim Tae-ju could be stolen. If we don’t hurry, it’ll be too late.”

Taebaeok Seonin, who had been quietly listening nearby.

His complexion changed drastically.

He took out a bottle of 90-proof vodka from the shelf and downed it in one gulp.

“Keuk!”

The more drunk he got, the stronger he became.

“A monkey, huh. I’ll catch it and eat it as a snack.”

Ju-seon came outside and got into Dok-seon’s parked convertible.

The destination was Dowon.

But Ha Seon-go wouldn’t just let that slide.

“Move! You drunkard! Didn’t you watch the drama? Where do you think you’re going to drunk drive?”

“You’re going to drive? Ha Seon-go, you don’t have a license.”

“Does Dok-seon have a license to drive around?”

“…”

“Stop talking and sit next to me!”

Buaaang!

The sports car carrying Ha Seon-go and Ju-seon raced toward Dowon.

Mi-ho Seon-ja, who had transformed into a nine-tailed fox, also came outside.

‘That monkey dares to invade our Palace of Peach Blossoms?’

She ran on four legs, quickly chasing after the sports car.

Dadadadadadak!

The other immortals didn’t stay idle either.

Galhong Immortal drew his magistrate’s brush and tied his scholar’s cap tightly to his forehead.

“Today will be that monkey’s memorial day.”

Demon Valley Immortal held his sorcery book and wore robes covered with all kinds of mystical formations.

“Let’s go skin that monkey.”

And that wasn’t all?

Almost every immortal headed toward Dowon carrying their own treasures.

Danju Seonin held a thick book of talismans, Great Tree Immortal carried a wood-cutting saw, the Iron Master brought a hammer, and the Calligraphy Immortal shouldered a brush as tall as himself.

Sambong Seonin, Maehwa Seonin, and Gonryun Seonin were the same.

While tying up their trouser legs and fluttering robe sleeves with strings.

“Ready?”

“Been ready for ages.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my body.”

“Let’s start by cutting off one of the monkey’s legs.”

Pat! Pat! Pat!

The representative immortals of the martial world rushing toward Dowon.

Swordsman was riding his Harley bike when he heard Ha Seon-go’s voice.

“…What?”

Pudadadak! Pureuk, pudeuk.

He stopped his motorcycle on the road.

“You’ve got some nerve.”

He floated the sword he carried on his back into the air and mounted it.

“I’ll skewer you like a kebab and roast you over fire.”

Swaeaeaeaek!

He flew swiftly toward Dowon.

Beings from other realms also heard the broadcast.

Haemak Seonnyeo, who was driving her mini electric car on the Immortal Realm road.

“Oh my? The monkey lord?”

Jecheon Daeseong.

She had never seen him before, but she had heard quite a few stories.

Both from the human world and the heavenly realm.

“But that’s a bad thing to do.”

Stealing something that belongs to someone else.

“I should go stop him.”

Vroom.

Haemak Seonin’s electric car also raced down the road.

And.

Gangrim Chasa, who was shopping at the multiplex mall, also.

“Ho! Is that so?”

This wasn’t the time to be shopping.

When he hurriedly went down, the Immortal Realm was completely empty.

They must have all rushed to Dowon.

‘Hehe, this should be interesting.’

The immortals and the monkey engaging in a great battle.

A spectacle that would never come again.

It would be far more entertaining and thrilling than Earth’s hero movies.

‘Should I go take a look?’

* * *

The 50,000 or so black iron ingots stored in the infinite space for delivery to Tae-ju, Dok-seon Danggumak’s Mancheonhwau that sharpened and spread them out.

There were more things that could be used as projectiles.

He mobilized all the metal objects in the infinite space.

Cooking scissors, paring knives, nail clippers, tweezers, stapler pins, mechanical pencils…

Thud thud thud thud thud thud!

Metal objects controlled through Toxic Spirit.

He didn’t touch anything else.

They flew accurately only toward the monkey and its clones.

Pip pip pip pip pit!

Pup pup pup pup puk!

The clones vanished as soon as they were created.

However, Danggumak’s target was the real Jecheon Daeseong.

If he followed with his eyes, he would lose track.

All the clones were holding heavenly peaches.

Of course, only one of them was real.

‘That’s the one.’

He could sense the energy.

He couldn’t let that bastard eat the heavenly peach.

Kwarrrrrrr!

Projectiles shot toward Jecheon Daeseong like rapids.

Jecheon Daeseong was flustered.

Far from counterattacking, he was busy just dodging.

‘When the hell did this bastard become an immortal?’

If there was a strongest being in the Immortal Realm, it would be the Swordsman.

Other immortals could be handled sufficiently even with clones.

But this guy was definitely not to be underestimated.

Handling hundreds of thousands of objects so skillfully?

Pip pit! Tsp rit!

Iron chunks and objects flying toward his head and chest if he let his guard down even slightly.

“Aigo!”

It was chaotic.

A guy even more troublesome than the Swordsman.

He wasn’t giving any opportunity to consume the heavenly peach at all.

‘This won’t work.’

If Avalokiteśvara came running at this rate, stealing the heavenly peach would definitely fail.

‘It’s difficult alone.’

He also had a trick up his sleeve.

A plan he had set up in preparation for such a situation.

* * *

Yoma Realm.

A prison holding immortal demons.

One clone that Jecheon Daeseong had set aside rushed frantically to the Yoma Realm.

His purpose was to meet the ruler of that place.

None other than Honse Mawang.

He entered a cave deep underground in the Yoma Realm and met him.

“What? Stone monkey…? It’s a clone. Why did you come to the Yoma Realm?”

Honse Mawang asked Jecheon Daeseong’s clone with an indifferent expression.

“I succeeded in stealing the heavenly peach.”

“Again? You’re crazy. What if your head gets smashed by the golden headband? Well, anyway, you can just eat it yourself, why me?”

“There are too many interferers. So I have a proposal. Help me.”

“Hehehe, don’t make me laugh. Did I look that foolish to you? I don’t know what scheme you’re plotting, but…”

“I’ll give you half the heavenly peach. That should be enough for you to gain the power to escape the Yoma Realm too.”

“…”

Honse Mawang’s eyes sparkled.

“You really secured a heavenly peach?”

“The main body has it. But because of an immortal bastard.”

“Hmm.”

Half a heavenly peach.

Even if it wasn’t a complete one, that much would be sufficient to escape the Yoma Realm.

But if they failed?

Would those damn immortals or Seo Wang-mo just sit still?

“Speak quickly. There’s no time.”

After pondering for a long while.

“Fine! But I can’t leave here. You come to the Yoma Realm, then I’ll help you.”

“Is that a promise? Know that you’ll die if you stab me in the back later.”

“Kekeke, who do you think I am? I’m Honse Mawang. I absolutely keep my word.”

“Understood. Wait for me.”

The agreement between the clone and Honse Mawang was immediately transmitted to the main body, Jecheon Daeseong.

Thus, the Yoma Realm’s participation was decided.

* * *

The first escape destination was decided.

‘Good! Now I just need to flee to the Yoma Realm!’

Honse Mawang would be helpful.

All demons in the Yoma Realm would listen to Honse Mawang’s commands.

Jecheon Daeseong shook his body once more.

Rustle rustle rustle rustle…

Countless clones pouring down.

“Kigigigigik!”

“Kekek!”

“Keuaaaak!”

“Kkuik.”

.

.

.

The clones swarmed toward Danggumak like a pack of fleas.

Swaaaaek!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jecheon Daeseong summoned his cloud and flew toward the Yoma Realm.

Tspirit!

The iron ingot relentlessly chased after him.

Honestly, Jecheon Daeseong had no intention whatsoever of giving half the Heavenly Peach to Honse Mawang.

He would draw in the Yoma Realm’s demons to buy time, then devour it all by himself.

If an opportunity arose while fleeing, he could eat it right away.

Swaaaaaaaek!

A cloud mass flew through the air.

The cloud instantly escaped from Dowon.

‘…Should I eat it now?’

However!

“It’s the cloud!”

“That, that, that shameless monkey bastard!”

“Fucking bastard, won’t you stop there?”

“Hit the cloud first!”

Pipippit!

Papak!

Kwaang!

“Damn it!”

It was the Immortals.

How did they all swarm here at once?

Tspit!

A sword suddenly flew and sliced past his shoulder.

“Uuk!”

The Swordsman had come too.

The Igeo Sword, the blade of the one closely pursuing the cloud.

Once again he shook his body to create clones.

Yet the Immortals still rushed toward him at terrifying speed.

Swaaaaaaaek!

He couldn’t think straight at all.

Even when fighting the heavenly armies in the past, it wasn’t this intense.

But more than that.

‘Why are these guys making such a fuss?’

Originally, Immortals were a lazy bunch.

Thoroughly individualistic.

He never dreamed they would unite and charge at him like this.

‘Did these bastards take some kind of drug?’

But he was almost there now.

He could see the boundary of the Yoma Realm ahead.

That’s when it happened.

“Noooo! Monkey-nim, stealing is wrooong.”

A fairy with a large flower in her hair, wearing celestial robes, flying toward him with a bright expression.

“Give me the peach! I’ll return it to its owner…”

Was this crazy woman insane?

“Get out of the way!”

Jecheon Daeseong’s cloud struck Haemak Seonnyeo’s body and fled.

“Oh my!”

Haemak fell like a flower petal.

“Hit and ruuuun!!”

Gangrim Chasa had been watching the great battle from the ground, looking up at the sky with a grinning expression.

But when Haemak was hit by the cloud and fell, he rushed over in shock.

“Haemak, no!!”

Gangrim quickly slid and barely managed to catch Haemak.

“Are, are you alright?”

“Yes! It doesn’t hurt. Thank youuu.”

“Come here, I’ll take you somewhere safe.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle the Heavenly Peach.”

After quickly moving Haemak to safety, he confirmed where that bastard was flying to the very end.

The direction was the Yoma Realm.

“Fucking lowly monkey bastard…”

Touching a celestial being?

And Haemak at that?

Gangrim opened a gate leading to Hwangcheon-gye.

Ziiing.

He had to report to The King.

That monkey bastard would never know, even if he died and came back to life, how much The King cherished Haemak.

And it wasn’t just Yama.

The magistrates, officials, death gods, managers of each hell – probably all of Hwangcheon-gye would rise up.

“You’re dead.”
