Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 251 - 244: Yunzhao and Heavenly Punishment_2

The four-clawed giant dragon was about to become a five-clawed giant dragon!

Clearly, the Destiny Dragon had stabilized the Human Path River, and in turn, had been nourished by it, making its destiny even more substantial!

Sun Wukong immediately shouted, "Liu Xiu, if the Han dynasty isn’t destined to rule at this moment, then when will it be!"

Liu Xiu solemnly nodded, raising the Kongtong Seal in one hand, and loudly declared, "Citizens of the Han, please raise your hands and lend me your strength!"

This scene, transmitted to the heart of every person of the Human Race within the Han territory through the Human Race’s treasured artifact, showed them Liu Xiu clad in imperial robes and they heard his voice.

Then, from Chang’an City to all parts of the Han, everyone raised their hands.

It was truly a moment of unity among the masses!

The beliefs of countless generations of the Human Race surged from the Kongtong Seal, all blessing Liu Xiu, who was clad in a golden robe of imperial authority.

At this moment, belief intertwined with destiny.

Liu Xiu felt a powerful force filling his entire body, and he again declared loudly, "The Human Path is revealed, my Han shall be the destined dynasty!"

Almost simultaneously, the Destiny Dragon in the sky also transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon, roaring joyously, "Roar!"

These two sounds spread through the three realms, instantly shocking heaven and earth.

At the same time, countless streams of golden light of Human Path Destiny emerged from the void, morphing into various rare and mythical creatures, rushing towards Chang’an City as if all tribes were coming to pay homage!

Soon, the entire Chang’an City was covered in a layer of golden light, signaling a transformation of this imperial city of the Human Race.

Every citizen underwent a kind of baptism, regardless of age or gender, becoming stronger, and many chronic ailments were healed in an instant.

This baptism did not end there but swept across the Han Empire at an astonishing speed.

Ao Lie, the East Sea Dragon King, and the North Sea Dragon King, along with many from the Dragon Race, witnessed all of this in the skies above Chang’an City, amazed and simultaneously letting out chants of dragon hymns, congratulating the Human Race.

At this moment, Liu Xiu, sensing the transformation in the Han and understanding many things, stepped forward to Sun Wukong and bowed earnestly, "On behalf of the citizens of Han, on behalf of the Human Race, and on behalf of the Human Path, I thank Master for your grace!"

Sun Wukong smiled and nodded. Now, under the attention of all parties in the three realms, he no longer hid his identity; with a flash of divine light, he reverted to his true form.

A golden-armored Monkey King!

At Kunlun Mountain, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s face turned extremely grim.

It was this monkey again!

Sun Wukong had always been at odds with the Chan Teaching, and although he no longer targeted them directly, his current actions were deemed defying the heavenly order.

This opposed the Chan Teaching’s philosophy of following the heavenly order, essentially still countering the Chan Teaching!

Thinking about this, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star felt very perplexed, "Why would the Heavenly Dao allow the Human Path to manifest, allowing the Han to establish a destined dynasty?"

The Heavenly Dao should have imposed heavenly punishment the moment the Human Path manifested, shattering the Human Path River and preventing the Human Path from manifesting.

But even as the Han became an unprecedented dynastic powerhouse of the Human Path, heavenly punishment had not appeared.

This caused the leading disciple of the Chan Teaching, interpreting the Heavenly Dao, to doubt its motives.

He hastily shook his head, discarding these disrespectful thoughts towards the Heavenly Dao.

Just then, he saw sudden dark clouds gathering above Chang’an City, and he burst out laughing, "Ha ha, heavenly punishment has arrived!"

At that moment, outside Weiyang Palace at the altar, Liu Xiu, seeing Sun Wukong’s true form, was initially startled, then praised, "Master is truly a divine warrior."

Barely had his words faded.

Boom!

A thunderous noise was heard, with thunder rolling across the nine heavens, and a sky filled with dark clouds gathering above Chang’an City, obscuring the heavens.

Within the surging clouds appeared a massive Array Plate emitting a terrifying aura.

The Array Plate’s surface flickered with lightning of various colors, with thunder brewing within.

Heavenly punishment had descended!

At that moment, still in the sky, the East Sea Dragon King, the North Sea Dragon King, and others of the Dragon Race were uneasy, moving about and humming in low tones.

Clearly, the power of this Thunder Tribulation was beyond their ability to withstand.

Ao Lie said, "You all go down first."

The group of dragons immediately transformed into human form and descended to the altar below.

The golden five-clawed dragon then lowered its dragon head, coming before Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu glanced at his master.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Go on."

Liu Xiu finally took a deep breath and stood atop the dragon head.

The five-clawed dragon, formed by the gathering of the Human Race’s mana, shone even brighter golden light as if symbiotically connected to him.

The crown of the emperor on Liu Xiu’s head transformed, turning into the King of Humans’ crown.

"I am the King of Humans!"

At that moment, the entire heaven and earth trembled, a formless and shapeless authority spread, making hearts shudder with fear, as if the lord of myriad spirits had descended to the human world.

The lineage of the King of Humans, missing for a thousand years, had reappeared in the world!

Compared to the ancient successive Kings of Humans, Liu Xiu was the true King of Humans because he was the master of the Human Path, whereas the previous kings only held the position without the corresponding power of the Human Path.

"Roar!" Soon, the dragon of mana carrying Liu Xiu flew into the sky, echoing Ao Lie’s true dragon form from afar.

"Brother, let us break this thunder tribulation together," Liu Xiu called out loudly.

"That’s exactly my intention!" Ao Lie laughed heartily.

Sun Wukong watched below with the crowd, his mind filled with confusion.

If the Heavenly Dao intended to obstruct this, why wait until the Han dynasty had become the Human Dao and the lineage of the King of Humans reemerged before descending the heavenly punishment?

Moreover, this punishment was much lesser than he had expected, which shouldn’t be the case.

He had been ready to intervene, but now there was no need; his two disciples could handle it.

Dressed in the crown of the King of Humans and holding the supreme treasure of the Human Race, the Kung P’ing Seal, Liu Xiu rode the dragon of mana, charging towards the thunder tribulation above.

At this moment, his power was comparable to that of immortals and Buddhas, unafraid of the thunder.

"Roar!" Ao Lie also made his move, a thousand zhang golden dragon roared as it too charged upwards.

Boom!

The array plate in the clouds suddenly vibrated, numerous thunders and lightning converged as if a giant sword, wielding the power as if to end the world, descending downwards.

At that time, Liu Xiu and the Human Race’s dragon of mana arrived.

The Kung P’ing Seal, carrying the collective belief of the Human Race accumulated over countless years, collided with the Thunder Tribulation Giant Sword.

Almost simultaneously, Ao Lie spat out the Suppressing Sea God Pearl, an exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasure that, with his Supreme Mana and True Dragon Blood, released formidable power, carrying an overwhelming divine authority, also crashed into the Thunder Tribulation Giant Sword.

Crash!

Instantly, terrifying lightning erupted, tearing apart the void.

The Thunder Tribulation Giant Sword, formed from myriad thunders, also developed cracks, producing a harsh creaking noise, excruciating to the ears.

Liu Xiu and Ao Lie did not stop, displaying the double dragon strike, the Human Race’s dragon of mana and the golden dragon transformed from True Dragon Blood, one with five claws and the other with four, collided again with the Thunder Tribulation Giant Sword.

Boom, boom, boom...

After nine consecutive hits, the Thunder Tribulation Giant Sword finally shattered, turning into countless bolts of lightning that dissipated in the void.

The enormous Array Plate in the sky attempted to gather the thunder tribulation again, but two divine lights roared, the Kung P’ing Seal and the Suppressing Sea God Pearl fiercely landed on the Array Plate.

The massive Array Plate instantly shattered, and the vast clouds in the sky dispersed along with it.

The sky above Chang’an City cleared once again, symbolizing the start of a new era!

All parties across the three realms witnessed this scene and fell silent.

No one had imagined that the structure of the three realms would undergo such immense changes within a single day.

Originally, there were two dynasties, one being Heavenly Court and the other the underworld.

One based on the Heavenly Dao and the other on the Earthly Dao.

Due to the imperfections in the Earthly Dao, the underworld was much weaker compared to Heavenly Court, and its authority was even divided among multiple powers, dispersing even the master of the dynasty’s authority.

But ultimately, there was a dynasty of the Earthly Dao.

In contrast, over countless years, the Human Path was not prominent, and the possibility of forming a dynasty had not appeared.

Yet today, a Human Path dynasty unexpectedly emerged in the world, and even withstood the heavenly punishment!

However, at this moment, many Quasi-Saints and the Southern Extremity Longevity Star shared similar confusions; they could not understand why the Heavenly Dao did not prevent all this promptly?

Even though heavenly punishment was eventually meted out, why was its potency so weak?

At this moment, the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court, the Buddha of the West, the Queen Houtu of the underworld, and other Quasi-Saints, regardless of their stance, all looked towards the heavens.

What exactly does the Heavenly Dao intend to do?
