Journey to the West (Black Myth)

Seeing Lady Taiyin suddenly manifest hundreds of identical bodies, Pilanpo Bodhisattva's eyes flashed with golden light.

She was a Bodhisattva of boundless magical power, also a chicken who attained enlightenment, and chickens naturally can see in the dark, with eyes different from ordinary beings, which allowed her to see that Lady Taiyin was formed from the essence of the moon. However, she couldn't discern which one was Lady Taiyin's true body, as each one carried her aura.

Yet, Lady Taiyin did not wish to give her time. Using the art of external transformation for the first time, she found excitement in even startling Pilanpo, thinking, "Who says magical abilities aren't as good as actual power?" But this excitement caused her to reveal herself.

Pilanpo Bodhisattva's eyes flashed gold, and the embroidery needle floating before her instantly turned into a golden glow, shooting toward Lady Taiyin's true body, causing a slight scorching pain in her soul, revealing the needle's malicious nature of directly targeting the soul.

Lady Taiyin, unable to react quickly, immediately employed the Thirty-Six Transformations' "Direct Null Shadow Technique," a defensive magic that transformed her into an incorporeal form, ignoring all attacks and appearing to disappear suddenly, causing Pilanpo Bodhisattva to involuntarily utter a slight "Hmm."

Pilanpo Bodhisattva paused and addressed her again: "Such a mysterious ability, why persist in being obstinate? There is no chance of escape in my presence. Might I ask who your master is?"

Lady Taiyin, returning to her true form, willed her mind, and the hundreds of phantasms in the air instantly re-entered her body like shadows.

With her magic broken, there was no need to employ it again without understanding why, so she pondered that while her powers allowed for a fight against a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the disparity was too great, merely delaying the inevitable. It might be better to ignore her and buy time.

Great danger had yet to endanger her life, so Lady Taiyin wouldn’t give up, especially since she deduced the treasure was destined for her. In another view, there would be danger to her life, but the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus would eventually be hers. Unless a Da Luo level being arrived, which seemed unlikely, Pilanpo wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Seeing her remain silent, Pilanpo Bodhisattva resumed with a nod, "Very well, do not blame me if I take you down."

By now, Pilanpo dared not underestimate Lady Taiyin. To evade her strikes twice constituted a respectable foe.

Before Pilanpo could act, Lady Taiyin, ready with a powerful strike, suddenly waved her jade hand toward the ground, seemingly awakening a subterranean giant.

Suddenly, the parched earth beneath them rumbled with a "boom" followed by several "crack" sounds as the ground split, the landscape shook, and golden light shot from the earth's crevices.

Instantly, all the celestial beings and demon kings present paled, with Pilanpo equally stunned by disbelief. She had been thrice astonished by a mere Taiyi True Immortal. How could she possess such an ability?

The remaining demon kings and celestial saints below suffered as well, with the light forged from innate energy being almost unstoppable. Didn't Sun Wukong's eyes pierce the thirty-three heavens at birth?

Those demon kings failing to avoid the light perished on the spot, causing everyone to gaze at Lady Taiyin with newfound terror, regarding her on par with Pilanpo Bodhisattva; no one dared underestimate her again.

Remember that veiled woman in black; should you meet her, stay as far as possible! None knew this power was the Thirty-Six Transformations' Earthshaker technique, wielded by masters capable of world-shaking destruction.

From afar, the hidden Bull Demon King was equally frightened by the intense quakes and even more so by the woman standing in midair. Without a cloud underfoot or weapon in hand, and without fame, yet wielding such fearsome powers—who was she?

Pilanpo Bodhisattva's eyes also changed, heating up when looking at Lady Taiyin. Originally fixated on obtaining the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus, she now desired Lady Taiyin and her abilities, realizing that the moon essence's celestial body could greatly benefit her son, while the mysterious abilities could elevate his status among the Bodhisattvas.

Lady Taiyin's gaze was icy. Using world-destroying powers, she appeared slightly weakened, yet her eyes held no fear facing Pilanpo. Her thoughts echoed, "If Pilanpo is a dire threat and comes with ill intentions, then I'll bring the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus out early. Let's see who truly prevails!"

Due to the accelerated release of innate energy from the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus by the earth's cracking, it naturally resulted in an early emergence. Only at that time would Pilanpo Bodhisattva not be able to fully focus on her, giving her a chance.

Seeing this situation, Pilanpo Bodhisattva, whose face had been tarnished several times, was furious. Without further ado, she unleashed her full power, and the immense magic power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal immediately pressed down on the earth, seemingly controlling all the forces of heaven and earth. Instantly, the bodies of the demon kings and celestial sages below couldn’t move an inch, and the Taiyi True Immortal-level Lady Taiyin felt immense pressure.

At the same time, a golden light once again shot out from Pilanpo Bodhisattva's hand.

Seeing this, Lady Taiyin instantly used her cloud-riding technique, stepping out and teleporting a thousand meters away to another location.

Pilanpo Bodhisattva casually lifted a giant boulder resembling a small mountain, while Lady Taiyin quickly used her stone-moving technique. With a wave of her ten jade-like fingers, the massive boulder shattered into countless pieces.

Immediately, with another wave of Lady Taiyin's hand, those countless stone fragments flew back towards Pilanpo Bodhisattva.

Pilanpo Bodhisattva simply waved her hand, causing the fragments to fall aside, followed by a few cries of anguish!

Pilanpo Bodhisattva's power was immense, indeed boundless. While Lady Taiyin only possessed Taiyi True Immortal cultivation, her abilities were undeniably vast. This was truly a battle between deities!

For a time, the two were evenly matched, leaving everyone watching in awe. Some eyes shone brightly, but only the graceful, black-veiled Lady Taiyin knew that in such a battle consuming so much magic, she was almost certain to lose, and could only worry inwardly. In contrast, Pilanpo Bodhisattva remained relaxed, for no matter how vast one's abilities, against overwhelming power, one was bound to be captured by her.

Sure enough, it was only a moment later that Lady Taiyin showed signs of her power waning, becoming increasingly weary. Then, in a moment of hesitation, she was struck by Pilanpo Bodhisattva's embroidery needle, fixing her soul and rendering her immobile.

Pilanpo Bodhisattva couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, saying, "I intended to offer you a good match, wed my son, and enjoy limitless freedom in the heavenly palace. But you remained stubborn and unrepentant, so I cannot spare you. However, considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will spare your life; henceforth, you will stay by my son's side."

All the survivors present were filled with dread, and those who realized the situation had their eyes flashing because it was clear this was an act of extortion by Pilanpo Bodhisattva. Such actions couldn't be allowed to spread, meaning there was only one outcome—everyone would have to stay.

Immediately, someone kneeled and kowtowed, exclaiming, "Bodhisattva Pilanpo above, this little demon willingly submits to the Buddha, hoping for the Bodhisattva's mercy."

Pilanpo Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Seeing that you willingly submit and possess Golden Immortal cultivation, I will transform you into the mount for the Heavenly Court's Angri Devi. Now reveal your true form!"

With a shout, Pilanpo Bodhisattva pointed, and a golden light enveloped a green-clad Daoist below, who transformed into a green deer as the light faded.

Instantly, no one dared to voluntarily submit, for becoming a mount was something none wished, as even demons had dignity.

But clearly, in front of Pilanpo Bodhisattva, their dignity was unnecessary. Transforming the Daoist into a deer, she then addressed the crowd, "You will all become attendants in the Cave of a Thousand Flowers."

The strange thing was that Pilanpo Bodhisattva hadn't noticed the distant Bull Demon King, who also seemed unfazed. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim internally, "My goodness, shameless, utterly shameless, more than even me! That woman with such vast powers was captured by that chicken? Does she not have a sect? Why do her abilities seem familiar?"

As for Lady Taiyin, her eyes were lifeless, once beautiful phoenix eyes now filled with despair, her heart filled with endless regret, silently thinking.

"Never did I imagine that I, Taiyin, would fall to such a state. Had I known, I might have followed Junior Brother Shiyue's wishes. But now, with my innate appearance, it is too late for everything. Countless years of transformation and achieving the Dao, countless years of arduous cultivation, finally gaining the master's great favor to teach me the Dao and help me achieve Taiyi—but today, I find myself unable to live or die, reduced to someone else's plaything and furnace."

In her regret, Lady Taiyin's heart was gray as dead, and she couldn't help but let two tears fall from her eyes, dropping to the ground and then into the deep crevices below.

Almost simultaneously, the pitch-black night sky in Liangtian Staff Space suddenly began to rain.

The raindrops were chilling, and as soon as they appeared in the Liangtian Staff Space, Shiyue, who was practicing his divine abilities, immediately sensed them. Full of incredulity, he looked up to the sky, murmuring to himself, "How can it be raining here?"

A moment later, an icy raindrop landed on his face, causing him to frown instantly.

Because that raindrop seemed almost conscious, he could actually sense deep sadness and regret from it, which made him frown even more, wondering what on earth was happening.

Another moment passed, and when the cold rain had soaked him completely, he shuddered violently, suddenly looking up with rage and shouting loudly.

"Sister! Is that you?"

"It must be you! Who is it? I'm going to kill him!"

"Damn it, who dares to bully my girl!"
