Understood Sun Wukong's will, Aoguang immediately ordered the War Drums to be beaten.
With his command, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and catfish demons of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, wielding spears and swords, moved forward with battle cries that shook the heavens, flooding towards Huaguo Mountain with towering white waves.
The demons of Huaguo Mountain also flew out of the Spiritual Network, forming a defensive line around.
Clash of arms seemed inevitable, giant waves surged from all directions nearly engulfing Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong floated in midair, then suddenly made a strange move.
He released his grip on the Jingu Bang.
"Go."
As Sun Wukong uttered these two words, a radiant light burst forth from within Jingu Bang, turning the sea surface a brilliant gold.
"What is he going to do?"
The marine soldiers screamed in alarm.
In the next moment, endless flames poured from the Jingu Bang.
Before all the marine soldiers, the flames split from one to two, then from two to four, transforming into a sky filled with sparkling Jingu Bangs.
Thousands of Jingu Bang, carrying flames, descended from the skies onto the marine soldiers surrounding Huaguo Mountain.
In an instant, the sound of the staffs even overpowered the roaring of the tsunami; the wind fueled the fire, the blaze and lights swallowing the battlefield, illuminating the whole night sky as if it were daylight.
The surging waves almost collapsed upon contact, countless marine soldiers vomiting blood, swept back into the sea by the barrage of staffs.
The fierce battle of the raging seas had yet to start, but it shattered into countless raindrops under the barrage of the staffs, scattering back into the sea like a torrential downpour.
"What kind of weapon is this!"
The dragon children and grandchildren from afar were frightened by the power of the Jingu Bang.
"So the Ocean Stabilizing God Needle has such terrifying power!"
Aoguang watched the Jingu Bang, utterly shocked.
But what shocked him was not just the Ocean Stabilizing God Needle, but also Sun Wukong's ability to wield its Mana freely.
"Great Saint."
Aoguang gathered his thoughts, asking, "Why not take action yourself?"
"It wants to play."
Sun Wukong calmly replied: "Let them entertain it for a while."
Countless lights darted and danced around him; those were the eager Jingu Bangs.
At Huaguo Mountain, the originally tightly prepared demons couldn't help but cheer seeing this scene.
Jingu Bang, making joyful noises, surrounded Huaguo Mountain, starkly contrasting with the continuous desperate screams of the marine soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light became the sole ruler over the sea.
Jingu Bang unrestrainedly vented its joy, dominating the battlefield as if no one else was present, quickly shattering the well-organized formation of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Batch after batch of marine soldiers were beaten into the seabed, leaving the sea surface in complete disarray and chaos.
Aoguang felt a pang of heartache.
However, the largest Jingu Bang at that moment, shot towards him like a meteor, breaking through multiple defenses directly heading towards his position at lightning speed, with a formidable presence.
Aoguang, unable to bear the slight to his stature by a mere weapon, roared in anger: "Stop it!"
Countless soldiers brandished their weapons and rushed to intervene, only to be scattered by the immense force of the Jingu Bang.
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
Seeing this scene, all the dragon children and grandchildren were pale with fright.
Merely the power of the Jingu Bang was already overwhelming for the Dragon Palace; if Sun Wukong took action himself, would they even have a chance to survive?
Sun Wukong watching the performance of the Jingu Bang, couldn't help but think.
"Perhaps I don't need to do anything."
He shifted his gaze back to his chest.
A light flickered within.
That was the gleam of the Jade Seal.
"Why is it reacting now?"
Sun Wukong found it strange.
Even though he had subdued the Jade Seal within his body, he hadn't fully gained control over it like a small world.
Sun Wukong had been using the Wanling Heavenly Dao, without mastering the real power of the Heavenly Emperor.
This was also why he had to assert his authority in front of the Mountain God, instead of directly commanding them or ordering the Mountain Gods of the Mortal World.
However, here in this battle with the Dragon Palace, the Jade Seal seemed to stir restlessly.
Sun Wukong felt its will.
He seemed to have understood a bit.
"Brother."
At this moment, Ao Luan pleaded with Sun Wukong, "Can you please stop the Ocean Stabilizing God Needle, and prevent it from harming our father any further?"
"It will stop naturally once it's had enough fun."
Sun Wukong said, "Without my command, it will not kill the Dragon King, but..."
A bruised and swollen face is inevitable.
Sun Wukong thought to himself, then closed his eyes, focusing his mind on sensing the Jade Seal.
Manjusri Bodhisattva hurried from Lingshan to the battlefield.
"I am late."
Seeing the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Buddha had anticipated that the East Sea Dragon King would start a war and had sent him to stop it, but he still arrived a step late.
Without waiting for the Four Seas Dragon Palace to join forces, the old Dragon King had recklessly made the first move.
While feeling pity, the Bodhisattva flew to Aoguang's side, helping him deal with the Jingu Bang.
Although the Jingu Bang was formidable, it was after all just a weapon, lacking much intelligence, and its weaknesses were easily exploited.
Soon after, the Jingu Bang was tied up with chains, struggling fiercely but to no avail.
Seeing it restrained, Manjusri Bodhisattva waved his hand, and a stack of Sealing Talismans was placed on the Jingu Bang.
"Hmm?"
Sun Wukong sensed the disturbance and opened his eyes to look, his brows slightly furrowed.
The Jingu Bang had got out of control.
"Be it as it may—"
He beckoned with his hand, "Come back."
In the next moment, the heavily sealed Jingu Bang disappeared and reappeared in his hand.
"Having fun?"
Sun Wukong asked.
The Jingu Bang emitted a resentful tremor.
By the time Manjusri Bodhisattva and Aoguang realized what happened, Sun Wukong had already torn off the Sealing Talismans on the Jingu Bang.
"Just as Buddha said—"
Manjusri Bodhisattva thought to himself, Sun Wukong's divine skills had almost reached the level of Buddha.
Sun Wukong put the Jingu Bang back on his ear.
The Jingu Bang dancing around him then disappeared, and the battlefield became utterly quiet.
Everyone was stunned. Was the battle over now?
"I've found something interesting."
Sun Wukong suddenly said.
Aoguang was startled: "What?"
"You'll see."
Sun Wukong extended his hand, and the oceanic power of the East Sea began to converge in his palm, gradually forming into a small seal.
In that instant, the power within all the East Sea Dragon Clan members on the battlefield began to weaken.
"The East Sea Seal."
Manjusri Bodhisattva recognized the seal, his face drastically changing as he shouted, "Stop him, he wants to control the East Sea!"
But Aoguang was even quicker, having reacted before Manjusri Bodhisattva's reminder.
The moment Sun Wukong's hand revealed the seal, Aoguang flew over frantically, trying to stop Sun Wukong from taking the seal.
But how could he possibly be faster than Sun Wukong?
In just the blink of an eye, the seal in Sun Wukong's hand had already formed, emitting a terrifying aura of ocean waves.
"Stop him."
Sun Wukong uttered a word, and as if an invisible force swept through, the entire sea surface suddenly rose, transforming into a massive ice wall that blocked Aoguang.
"Great Saint!"
Aoguang's face turned pale: "You can't do this!"
By seizing that seal, the East Sea Dragon Clan could no longer control the East Sea.
Sun Wukong did not respond.
In that moment, he felt it—the power of the entire East Sea within his grasp.
That seal was the Immortal Position controlling the East Sea.
