The Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal flickered on Sun Wukong's chest, the small East Sea Seal quietly held in his palm.
All eyes were on him, each expression different.
The demons of Huaguo Mountain wore faces of astonishment, unaware of why the Dragon King cared so much about a seal.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the East Sea were filled with fear, feeling a terrible binding force emanating from the seal.
Sun Wukong looked at Aoguang, the giant dragon's body pale and colorless, as if he had turned into a frail old dragon.
No, this was not an illusion...
With the power of the East Sea Seal, Sun Wukong's eyes penetrated the Dragon King's outward appearance.
Beneath that glamorous exterior wrapped in immortal officialdom, was a frail old dragon.
"How can this be?"
Sun Wukong was surprised, glancing again at the other dragon descendants.
What surprised him even more, all the dragon descendants were the same—if the Dragon Clan lost the East Sea Seal, many young dragons would become just like ordinary demons.
"So that's it."
Sun Wukong waved his hand, causing the ice wall to disappear.
The Dragon Clan, creatures born from heaven and earth, were treasures all over, but their control over the East Sea and the climate was a power granted by the Heavenly Emperor.
No wonder the status of the Dragon Clan was not high in the Heavenly Palace.
"Great Saint, you go too far!"
Unable to accept that the East Sea Seal had been taken from him by Sun Wukong, Aoguang charged with all his might as soon as the ice wall disappeared.
Suddenly, the sky was overcast, and several thick water tornadoes emerged from the sea, accompanied by wind and thunder attacking Sun Wukong alongside Aoguang.
The army of the Dragon Palace also quickly regrouped, advancing swiftly towards Huaguo Mountain behind the water tornadoes, flags fluttering with the waves.
Countless spells and weapons, trailing cold light, covered the Spiritual Network with impressive might.
Sun Wukong understood why Aoguang was so desperate.
But, unfortunately, even so, he wouldn't back down.
The surging attack was upon him instantly; with a thought from Sun Wukong, the power of the East Sea Seal clearly imprinted in his mind.
"Still."
He uttered a single word.
The next moment, without any sign, the stormy winds and waves surrounding Huaguo Mountain bizarrely vanished without trace.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals standing on the waves fell into the sea, creating countless splashes.
The ocean no longer obeyed Aoguang's will; the water tornadoes dissipated swiftly before they could reach Sun Wukong.
The wind and thunder continued in the sky, but the raging waves were forcibly calmed down, and the sea surface returned to tranquility.
"How, how does he possess such power!"
Some soldiers further away, well aware of the power of the ocean, saw Sun Wukong's power firsthand and huddled together, not daring to move forward.
Sun Wukong glanced over.
Without any visible action from him, several whirlpools suddenly appeared on the sea surface and rapidly expanded.
The whirlpools swallowed a large number of sea soldiers.
They desperately cast spells to struggle, trying to fly out of the sea, but were firmly sucked by the whirlpools toward the deep sea, completely unable to control their form.
Even Aoguang was almost dragged away by the powerful suction.
"Brother!"
Ao Luan could not help wanting to plead again.
She knew Sun Wukong needed a war to establish his authority, but still stepped forward and said, "Can you leave them to me?"
Sun Wukong turned his head to look at her.
"I have a sense of proportion."
On the sea surface, a nearly one-sided battle was proceeding.
Undersea, Gouchen and Huangjiao Immortal, pressed under the mountain, sensed the commotion above the sea.
"That East Sea Dragon King cannot stop Sun Wukong, but he will hold on for a while, buying us time."
Gouchen said, "Once I absorb the power of the battlefield, I can break through the seal."
Huangjiao Immortal frowned slightly: "Can it really go so smoothly?"
"No problem."
Gouchen nodded slightly: "It seems that Sun Wukong has not yet noticed our plan."
"That might not be the case."
A third voice spoke.
Gouchen and Huangjiao Immortal were startled and looked up, only to find Sun Wukong appearing at the bottom of the sea.
"Sun Wukong, how come you…"
Gouchen's face changed instantly.
"Are you wondering why I am here, right?"
Sun Wukong said, "This is one of my avatars."
He had always been here.
It's just that these two had never noticed it.
"You…"
Gouchen, feeling outmaneuvered by Sun Wukong, burst out in anger, "Are you playing with us?"
Sun Wukong smiled, "Well... then I won't play anymore."
He cast an Immortal Talisman, and the seal on the giant mountain became as solid as ever, completely immobilizing Gouchen and Huangjiao Immortal.
"Sun Wukong, you can't suppress me!"
Gouchen struggled in vain, seething with anger, "The Three Realms are about to fall into chaos, and the more chaotic it gets, the stronger my power will become. Once I get out, I won't let you off!"
"I know what you are capable of."
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "Too bad the Three Realms won't fall into chaos."
"I will soon rebuild the Heavenly Palace and unify the Three Realms."
"That's a huge joke!"
Gouchen burst out laughing in exasperation, "A demon like you wants to unify the Three Realms? You're dreaming!"
"Whether it's a fanciful dream or not, you'll soon find out."
As Sun Wukong responded, he looked towards the surface, where the battle was still ongoing but was about to end.
Nine tenths of the sea soldiers were gone, and Aoguang was about to be defeated.
Sun Wukong spread his arms wide, a halo unfurled from his hands, spreading across the sea floor like a giant mirror.
This was a map.
"It's that again."
Huangjiao Immortal's pupils shrank, "Your Majesty Gouchen, what exactly is this map?"
He could feel the terrifying power contained within the map.
"The Map of Wanling."
Sun Wukong lowered his hands, answering for Gouchen.
"This doesn't seem so bad."
He thought to himself.
He had found a new method to spread the Wanling Heavenly Dao.
This time, Wanling Country might just start from Huaguo Mountain, from the East Sea.
As Sun Wukong pondered this, a miserable dragon's roar came from the surface.
"Dragon King!"
Gouchen cried out.
Aoguang was defeated.
Sun Wukong turned to look at Gouchen.
"You just reminded me of something."
His eyes gleamed coldly, "Since I can reclaim the power of the East Sea, then the same goes for your powers."
A foreboding feeling welled up in Gouchen.
"Gouchen."
Sun Wukong continued, "I am curious to find out whether you will break my seal first, or I will strip you of your position as War God first."
Gouchen sensed the underlying implication, and a chill ran down his spine.
A War God grows stronger through war. If his Immortal Position were to be taken by Sun Wukong, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Sun Wukong turned and left.
"Heavenly Venerate."
Realizing the danger, Huangjiao Immortal solemnly said, "If the Great Saint takes away your Immortal Position, I'm afraid no one in the Three Realms could stop him then."
"It won't be that easy."
Gouchen was thinking of a solution while speaking, "I am the Heavenly Venerate, even the Jade Emperor might not be able to strip me of my Immortal Position."
The Heavenly Venerate is not an ordinary Immortal Official, and although the Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Three Realms, in the face of the Heavenly Dao, he is just on equal footing with Gouchen.
"How could Sun Wukong, who couldn't even subdue the Jade Seal, take away my Immortal Position?"
