In the Heaven Court, the celestials were debating about the appointment of the Monkey King as the Demon King. Not long later, Spirit Officer You Yi came to report, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Lord, there are six Demon Kings outside the Southern Heavenly Gate. All of them are ferocious and powerful. Each of them leads a hundred thousand demon army and they call themselves the Six Great Sages. They want to be on equal footing with the Monkey King and compete for the position of Demon King!"
Jade Emperor asked, "There's such a thing? Which Demon Kings are they? "
"The Bull Demon King of Jilei Mountain calls himself the Great Sage of Heaven Leveling, the Dragon Demon King of East Sea calls himself the Great Sage of Ocean Toppling, the Roc Demon King calls himself the Great Sage of Chaotic Heavens, the Camel Lion King calls himself the Great Sage of Mountain Shifting, the Macaque King calls himself the Great Sage of Ventilation, and the Yuling King calls himself the Great Sage of Exorcism. They want to be together with the Monkey King as the Seven Great Sages. They will rule over the demons and the strongest will be the Emperor," Spirit Officer You Yi reported.
The four celestial masters suddenly had an idea. They suddenly stepped out of the ranks and reported, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, since there are such heroes in the lower realm, why don't we confer them the title of Demon Emperor? Just like the Ten Kings of Hell, they can manage the affairs of the demons and devils in the world."
Marshal Ma even came out and added, "The Ten Halls' Yanluo can only be called Kings, how can we let the Demon Emperors who manage the demons and demons surpass them? Why don't we make them the Seven Great Sages and enter the celestial records? They will be considered as the seven demons that the Heaven Court recruited. We will use demons to control the demons and use them to suppress the other Demon Kings. Their ranks will be the first rank and they will be considered as a straggler. "
The Jade Emperor smiled and turned to the Monkey King, "Monkey King, stop chanting."
The Monkey King then stopped the Band-tightening Incantation and stopped urging the Dong Yue Monarch to come up to the Lingxiao Hall. If the Heaven Court's celestial officials and generals continued to push him, the Monkey King would have to ask the Dong Yue Monarch to come and talk to them. Luckily, the Jade Emperor knew that he had a hostage and stopped him.
"The six demons from the Lower World want to compete with you for the throne. This is the result of all the living beings in the Three Realms, the demons and devils, and the hearts of the people. What do you think, Great Sage Monkey King?"
The Monkey King said, "Those six country bumpkins probably don't even know how to read. How can they bear such a heavy responsibility? The revered position of the Demon Sovereign could only be attained by those who were virtuous, knowledgeable, wise, brave, and strong. I, Old Sun, can say that I'm a man of virtue, wisdom, and courage. How can they be worthy of that? Once Old Sun subdues them, he can be a general under my command! "
"If that's the case …" The Jade Emperor said, "Once you leave the Southern Heavenly Gate and subdue the six Demon Kings, you can be the Heaven's Equal Demon Sovereign Great Emperor. You can command all the demons and devils in the world and be the revered Demon Sovereign."
After the Jade Emperor made his promise, the entire Lingxiao Hall fell silent. No one dared to say anything else. This was all within the Monkey King's calculations. The demons outside the Southern Heavenly Gate were most likely summoned by him. Otherwise, how could the four continents be shocked by the demons' encirclement of the Southern Heavenly Gate in just two months' time? Without the Monkey King's doppelgangers running around in the deep mountains and forests, how could those country bumpkins hear about it? There was no Weibo or Facebook in this world. The Jade Emperor only needed to send a short message and the whole Three Realms would know about it. Communication depended on rumors and slander. Someone had to add fuel to the fire.
Not only could the swindled demons build momentum, they could also recruit soldiers and buy horses. Even the future core subordinates had to bring their own rations! Otherwise, other than a group of trusted aides in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, the Monkey King would be alone. How could he command all living beings, establish the Demon Court, and establish the Demon Kingdom? He needed these demons to fill the numbers!
If he could subdue the six country bumpkins outside, the Monkey King, the Demon Sovereign, would be able to become the most powerful demon king in the world with the most territory. It would be equivalent to swindling a foundation and being conferred a title by the Heavenly Court. He would be a true Demon Sovereign. It would not be an empty title without a foundation and could be easily overthrown. Adding on Chen Ang behind him, the Monkey King would have a foundation and a backer. He would be able to sit firmly on the throne.
As for whether he could dominate the Three Realms and threaten the authority of the Jade Emperor like Emperor Ziwei and the East Mountain Monarch, it would depend on what happened in the future.
When Wukong came out of the Southern Heavenly Gate, he looked at the loose Daoist robe he was wearing and felt somewhat embarrassed. He muttered, "Those demons are all boastful and want face. Although this coarse Daoist robe looks neat, it will make them look down on me. If I don't bring a good set of armor, how can I, Old Sun, hold up my face?"
As soon as he thought about it, there was a response. A few rays of spiritual light flew from the sky and landed in Wukong's hands. Wukong was overjoyed when he saw it. "Master, you're so thorough." The spiritual light that fell was one of the few that flew away when Wukong stole the Diamond Bracelet. It was a top-notch mighty armor. There was a phoenix feather crown on his head, a golden chainmail on his body, lotus root silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet, and a bright red cloak. It was the Heaven and Earth Flaming Cloud Cloak. When worn, one would look mighty and domineering.
The Monkey King walked to the Southern Heavenly Gate. His small size made him look majestic, so he turned into an ape. He was eight feet tall and had a dignified appearance. He stood under the Southern Heavenly Gate with his cloak fluttering in the wind. Below him, there were countless demons wearing red scarves and armor. They occupied the center and had the strongest aura. Countless Monster Kings were leading the banners in front. With a glance, although most of them were Monkey Hairs, about forty percent were new Monster Kings. There were a total of one hundred and eight Monster Kings. With the addition of the Monkey Hairs, there were three hundred and sixty Monster Kings, which corresponded to the number of Zhou Tian.
The Monster Army under the banner was endless. Demonic aura shot up to the clouds, causing the Ling Xiao Palace to be unstable.
Beside the red army that covered the entire sky, there were a few other Demon armies of different colors. However, they only took up thirty percent of the army. Their flags were messy and looked even more dismal compared to the Heaven's Equal Demon Army. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there were six Demon armies that occupied the majority of the army.
Among the Red Scarf Monster Army, not many True Monsters had seen the Monkey King before. When they saw the majestic Monkey King coming out from the Southern Heavenly Gate, they were a little worried. Luckily, they had the help of the Monkey Hair Clone. Green Snake Monster King raised his arm and shouted, "Greetings, Heaven's Equal Monster King!"
Instantly, countless Monsters bowed their heads and shouted loudly outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, "Greetings, Heaven's Equal Monster King!"
Then, outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, countless Monster Armies, including the six Monster Kings, were shocked by the earth-shattering aura. They could not help but shout, "Greetings, Heaven's Equal Monster King!"
Immediately, the subordinate Demon Kings of the six Demon Kings secretly changed their banners and joined the Heaven's Equal Demon Army. The expressions of the six Demon Kings changed at the same time. They felt a sound wave sweep through the three realms, shaking their minds. Demon King Jiao said, "Brothers, if this goes on, we will be alone!"
The Bull Demon King looked at the two young Bull Demons beside him and looked at the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal with a look of longing. He wanted nothing more than to be under the command of the Great Emperor, Heaven's Equal and become a disciple of the Heaven's Equal. He slapped the two of them away and said angrily, "Even the Demon Soldiers of my clan are so cowardly. My brothers, we can't watch Sun Wukong be so arrogant. We must destroy his prestige so that we can compete with him for the position of Demon Emperor!"
"Greetings, Heaven's Equal Monster King!" The sound wave traveled to the Lingxiao Palace of the Golden Arches. The immortals were shocked and the Jade Emperor's expression changed.
Wukong lifted the Golden Cudgel and pointed at the six Demon Kings. "Are you the six Demon Kings who want to be called Great Sages with me and compete for the title of Demon Emperor?" The millions of Heaven's Equal Demon Army turned their heads and stared at the six Demon Kings.
As the saying goes, if you are condemned by a thousand people, you will die without a cause.
The mixed-colored Monster Army under the six Monster Kings was fine and didn't have anything else in their eyes. However, sixty percent of the true demons under the Heaven's Equal Monster Army had been subdued by the Monkey King. Now that they heard that someone wanted to compete with them for the position of Monster King, their eyes were filled with killing intent. Under the murderous gazes of the millions of Monster Army, even the six Monster Kings couldn't help but feel worried.
It was the Bull Demon King who stood out and said, "Monkey King, you fought against East Peak and have indeed raised the prestige of us demons. But now that you are with the Heavenly Court and claim the title of Monster King, I, the Bull Demon King, am the first to be dissatisfied. How can the title of Monster King be conferred by that old Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court? It should be elected by all the demons in the world. Now that you have submitted to the Heavenly Court and are no longer one of us demons, you are not fit to be the supreme Monster King. Let me take it! "
The Monkey King smiled. "Is your position of Monster King also elected by the demons under you?"
"How can there be a reason to choose an Emperor in this world? Among the demons, the strong rule. Why would I need you to respect me as the Monster King? Then, I will act on my own and divide the power? Naturally, I will beat you until you are convinced. Among the demons, I will be the King, and I will sweep through the world and sweep away all heroes. My heart will be the heart of all demons, and my Dao will be the Dao of all demons. "
"Bull Demon King, I have heard that you have occupied Jilei Mountain and rejected the Buddhas of Mount Spirited. But what capabilities do you have to be on par with me, the Monkey King? I would like to learn from you! "
The Monkey King laughed. "Who else wants to compete with me for the position of Monster King? Come out at once!"
