**580. Chapter 563: King of Ten Thousand Monsters vs. Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech**
"Roar! Die, Monkey King!"
The King of Ten Thousand Monsters, Sun Wukong, stomped his foot, soaring into the air. Enduring the dense torrent of bullets, he swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang and charged straight towards the silver-gray fighter jets overhead.
"Beep Beep Beep Beep, detecting high-intensity energy reaction attack. Autocannon firepower covering."
"Fire Control Radar targeting."
"Target speed too fast, missile capture failed, laser net interception failed, Skynet System data analysis, conventional weapons impact success rate less than 3%, emergency measures planning."
"Contingency Plan One activated, initiating 'Four-Nine Mode', estimated onboard energy consumption 43%! Four-Nine Mode activating, friendly personnel please evacuate the area quickly!"
There were no Pilots in the Main Control Rooms of the dozens of fighter jets. Green code information flashed across the fighter jets' central computers in less than a millisecond.
Just as Monkey (Sun Wukong) soared into the sky, breaking through layers of interception nets, the abdomen hatches of the fighter jets quickly opened, extending rows of tubular objects as thick as goose eggs. These tubes were carved with strange patterns.
As the Arc Reactor within the fighter jets supplied energy, these carved tubes suddenly flashed with blue light.
Hundreds of tubular objects sprayed out countless Divine Thunders wrapped in massive Thunder Fire. With a crashing sound that shook the heavens, bright Electric Snakes tens of thousands of meters long and as thick as water tanks twisted and bombarded everything near Monkey (Sun Wukong).
Before one Divine Thunder had even disappeared, more Divine Thunders crazily struck down. Dense Thunder Fire continuously bombarded Monkey (Sun Wukong) and the Fat Monk below.
"Retreat!"
Despite being dozens of feet away from the Divine Thunder, Yuchi Jingde could still feel a huge wave of numbness spreading throughout his entire body. Especially his heavy Mingguang Armor, which inherently possessed a conductive attribute. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been struck by an angled Divine Thunder.
Yuchi Jingde quickly led the Xuanjia Army soldiers behind him to retreat out of the area enveloped by Divine Thunder.
The Fat Monk looked up at the almost substantialized thundercloud. His smiling complexion was full of astonishment. Thick Divine Thunders bombarded his body, causing golden light to ripple outwards.
Although the force of these Divine Thunders was great, these attacks alone could not cause him damage. After all, he was Shakyamuni Tathagata's mortal realm body in this World. Even Chandana Meritorious Buddha, the Lord of This World, had to respectfully address him as Master! Although Shakyamuni Buddha of the Jambudvīpa World had already entered Nirvana, as long as Buddhism existed in a World, Shakyamuni Tathagata would descend. This was Heaven's Will.
Just like how in a World where Catholicism exists, God must also exist. Unless a Mighty Being like Boss Tang replaces the concept of God, Shakyamuni Buddha will not truly perish.
At that time, in the innumerable Worlds of the Chaos Sea, the one who pointed to the heavens and the earth, proclaimed "Above the Heavens and Below the Earth, I Alone Am Honored," the Founder of Buddhism, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, would naturally be replaced by another person in the impression of the People of the World.
What caused this Shakyamuni Tathagata to show a look of astonishment was the means by which these mechanical constructs wielded Divine Thunder.
This was clearly Heavenly Tribulation that only the Heavenly Court Thunder Department could control. How could these mechanical constructs wield this Heavenly Tribulation power?
Swish!
Monkey (Sun Wukong) waved his Ruyi Jingu Bang and soared into the sky, letting the dense steel-core armor-piercing rounds land on his body. They clanged and sparked, but couldn't even penetrate his armor.
The onboard missiles couldn't even capture his shadow.
But just as Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s Ruyi Jingu Bang was raised high, the Ruyi Jingu Bang became the best conductor in the rolling thundercloud.
Dozens of fighter jets in the sky, under the control of the Skynet System, flew at high speed along fixed trajectories. The launch ports on the abdomen of the cabins simultaneously flashed with strange radiance.
These launch ports and the fighter jets' flight paths perfectly formed a "Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Array" of immense force.
The power of the Large Arc Reactor within the fighter jets, channeled through the fighter jets' internal energy conduits, converted enough electrical energy to support a large city's energy consumption for ten years into this immensely powerful Heavenly Tribulation power.
The massive electrical energy output even caused the fighter jets' surfaces to emit a deep blue fluorescence, whistling as it rushed into the heavenly tribulation launch ports in the fighter jets' abdomens.
Under the powerful thunder power, even the ground emitted an eerie blue radiance, which was the static reaction caused by the powerful electric current.
Under the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Great Formation, thick dark clouds also rolled up in the sky, with faint Divine Thunder rolling within the dark clouds.
During the Ancient Heavenly Court era, Primordial Spirit Cultivators who wanted to shed mortality and become Immortal needed the Heavenly Tribulation trial. They would use the power of lightning to baptize the magic power throughout their body. If they passed, they could achieve Pure Yang True Immortal. If they failed, their Body Perishes Dao Vanishes.
Back when the Heavenly Court was powerful, the Gods of the Heavenly Court Thunder Department were the ones who controlled this Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Later, the Heavenly Court was destroyed, and the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation became a thing of the past with the disbandment of the Thunder Department. If Primordial Spirit Cultivators wanted to become Immortal, they could only slowly nurture and refine their own magic power.
Shakyamuni Tathagata hadn't expected to see the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation here.
The Fusion of Technology and Immortal Arts. Every component of these fighter jets was part of a formation, and each component was carved with detailed lightning-drawing runes.
Every bolt of lightning emitted from the launch ports in the fighter jets' abdomens could trigger heavenly thunder with almost the force of the Jambudvīpa World's Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Hundreds of launch ports simultaneously blasted out lightning, with thousands of Divine Thunders erupting every second.
Their force... no one knew how great the force was. Even Ivan Vanko, who presided over the research and development of this weapon, had never truly seen what the scene would be like when this wildly imaginative formation, a fusion of Technology and Immortal Arts, was fully activated.
After all, in this guy's design blueprints, he planned to use planet-level Space Fortresses as the formation core, arranging thirty-six thousand Space Fortresses into a Great Lightning Technique Formation. According to quantum computer calculations, a single wave of attack from this formation could destroy a universe.
Of course, the simplified version of the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Great Formation formed by these fighter jets currently did not possess this force. However, for Monkey (Sun Wukong) who was in the air, getting struck by lightning was clearly not a very pleasant experience.
In just over ten seconds, tens of thousands of lightning bolts as thick as water tanks bombarded down from the pitch-black dark clouds, almost covering the entire sky.
The powerful electric current instantly ionized all the air within hundreds of meters. The air was filled with an indescribable strange smell, a smell that made one's heart tremble with fear, as if the End of the World was about to descend. It was the smell of almost the entire world being burned by electric current, everything becoming empty.
Those divine thunders and lightning followed Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s raised Ruyi Jingu Bang and struck straight down. The flag-bearing armor on Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s body instantly turned into ash in the lightning.
Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s body was Vajra Indestructible, but under the continuous striking down of the Divine Thunder, his monkey hair was charred all over, and his body felt a wave of numbness.
"Roar!"
Exasperated, Monkey (Sun Wukong) let out a roar towards the sky. The Ten Thousand Zhang Violent Ape Dharma Idol appeared behind him. Under a roar, the sky full of dark clouds was instantly roared away by him.
However, the material of those fighter jets was unknown. Not only were they not damaged in the slightest by his explosive roar, but as the lightning runes on the fighter jets' surfaces emitted blue light, the dark clouds that Monkey (Sun Wukong) had just dispersed scattered, and more and denser cloud layers arrived from the horizon.
Countless divine thunders continued to fall, continuously striking towards Monkey (Sun Wukong).
The angry Monkey (Sun Wukong) endured the lightning and leapt up, arriving before a fighter jet. He waved the Ruyi Jingu Bang, stirring up boundless thunderclouds, and swung it towards a fighter jet.
"Clang!" The fuselage of the attacked fighter jet quickly squirmed like mercury. Just as the heavy Ruyi Jingu Bang was about to smash onto its top, a round shield, several times the size of a washbasin, rose from the fuselage that was shaking like water ripples.
Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s Ruyi Jingu Bang heavily smashed onto that round shield. Instantly, an intense shockwave spread outwards from the shield.
The violent shockwave even dispersed the thunderclouds. The surrounding fighter jets weighing several hundred tons were completely flipped over by this shockwave, thrown hundreds of meters away. "Not bad, quite sturdy. I'd like to see if your shield is sturdier, or if my Ruyi Jingu Bang is heavier!"
Monkey (Sun Wukong) looked at the smooth and completely undamaged round shield, and his competitive spirit in his bones was ignited.
He sprayed out a mouthful of Primordial Qi towards the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand. The staff, which was as thick as a bowl, instantly expanded dozens of times in thickness, turning into a Heaven-Piercing Giant Pillar covered in lava and glowing red throughout its entire body.
Monkey (Sun Wukong) wrapped his arms around the tail end of this burning red Heaven-Piercing Giant Pillar and smashed it down towards the several fighter jets before him.
"Beep Beep Beep Beep—"
"Beep Beep Beep Beep—"
"Alarm, Alarm, Attack Overload, Liquid Adamantium Damage 40%, insufficient load-bearing capacity, activating counterattack measures!"
"King of Ten Thousand Monsters data loaded, loading Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech System, Decepticon Module loaded, Seraphim Module loaded, energy reserve 67%"
Streaks of radiance flashed from the outer layers of those fighter jets. The robot bodies of dozens of fighter jets quickly shook like water ripples, and countless runes appeared on them.
Almost at the moment Monkey (Sun Wukong) smashed down the Ruyi Jingu Bang, dozens of fighter jets turned into dozens of silver light streams, converging together.
Just as the thick Heaven-Piercing Giant Pillar smashed into the river of mercury, a mechanical lifeform with wings on its back, about ten zhang tall, floated out from the mercury. With its thick mechanical hand, its five fingers spread open. The surrounding nanobots forming the river of mercury instantly converged in its palm, forming a Double-Edged Greatsword.
The pupils of this silver-gray mechanical lifeform flashed with countless green code runes, analyzing the angle of descent and force of the Heaven-Piercing Giant Pillar smashing down from above.
Just as the giant pillar was upon its head, it took a step back. The Anti-gravity Thruster under its feet was activated at full power. It raised both arms high. At its elbows, forearms, and upper arms, nanobots simulated millions of small thruster devices.
"Clang!"
The Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech swung its sword and struck the Heaven-Piercing Giant Pillar swung by Monkey (Sun Wukong). As their weaponry clashed, the shockwave that erupted swept outwards again. Even at ten thousand meters high.
The shockwave formed by their clash still created a super hurricane on the ground strong enough to uproot thousand-year-old ancient trees.
Yuchi Jingde watched as the strange wind uprooted the large trees along the Imperial Highway. Mountain rocks the size of grinding mills were also blown up by the wind. With debris in the wind, the trajectory could naturally be seen. He saw the plants and trees, large trees, mountain rocks, and mountain peaks snapping and breaking during the collision.
Seeing the hurricane sweeping towards them, towards the Heaven Worship Sacrifice.
"Be on guard!"
Yuchi Jingde gritted his teeth. While ordering someone to inform the Central Army to protect His Majesty and retreat, he led the Xuanjia Army soldiers to form a Shield Wall with their physical bodies, wanting to buy time for the Central Army's retreat.
Can human power shake the heavens?
Yuchi Jingde looked at the smiling Monk not far away blocking the Road Ahead. The hurricane swept past the Monk, but the Monk was as if his feet were rooted. The hurricane, strong enough to blow down the Chang'an City walls, didn't even blow the edge of his clothes.
Seeing the hurricane sweep past the Monk and sweep towards them, Yuchi Jingde looked at the stones the size of grinding mills in the hurricane, and the ancient trees that he couldn't wrap his arms around, feeling the palm holding the Long Lance sweating slightly.
"Kill!"
Seeing a boulder rolled up by the hurricane and smashing towards them, Yuchi Jingde shouted sternly. The Qi and Blood throughout his entire body merged into one. He waved the Long Lance in his hand and thrust out. A flash-like Qi Energy shot out from his lance tip.
That boulder was instantly shattered by it. Even the hurricane before him seemed to be split in half in an instant.
The Xuanjia Army soldiers behind him also took action one after another. True Qi condensed into form, and Blade Light erupted from their bodies, striking out towards the hurricane.
Within the Central Army, many Martial Dao Experts also attacked from a distance. There were two True Qi Flood Dragons swung out by Military Generals' twin maces, and hundred zhang Sword Qi swung out by Scholars. With centuries of accumulation, the Great Tang Dynasty's court also produced many Experts.
Under the combined efforts of dozens of Civil and Military Officials, they actually suppressed that hurricane.
But this hurricane was merely the aftermath of the clash between the two figures in the sky.
Rumble~~~ Rumble~~~ At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky had dissipated. Two figures, one gold and one silver, streaked across the sky, emitting sounds of thunder and lightning tearing through the air.
Although Monkey (Sun Wukong) had not manifested his Ten Thousand Zhang Giant Ape True Body at this time, he had also become about ten zhang tall, like the Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech, continuously clashing with the Mech, waving the thick Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Every time their weaponry collided, a powerful shockwave visible to the naked eye swept in all directions.
Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s Ruyi Jingu Bang was very heavy. Especially when he became serious, a casual swing of the Ruyi Jingu Bang could easily smash a Mountain Peak.
But the strength of the Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech, composed of nanobots fused with Vibranium and Liquid Adamantium throughout its entire body, was also not weak.
Every micro nanobot could provide it with one or two kilograms of strength. And how many nanobots composed the entire mech's robot body? Trillions or quadrillions?
Not to mention, these nanobots could also combine into various booster devices, allowing the Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech's strength to erupt a thousand or even ten thousand times over.
This wasn't all. At the core of the Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech, multiple systems like the Sentinel Robot and Seraphim were also loaded.
Under the operation of the Artificial Intelligence Skynet, the nanobots could freely combine and switch between various combat modes.
Monkey (Sun Wukong) waved both arms. The thick Ruyi Jingu Bang turned into staff shadows filling the sky, smashing towards the Anti-King of Ten Thousand Monsters Mech's forehead. Monkey (Sun Wukong) used Magic Arts and Divine Abilities. The Ruyi Jingu Bang he swung out was not only heavy but also astonishingly fast, leaving behind streaks of afterimages while also mixed with countless illusions.
The nanobots inside the mech's robot body captured the Qi Flow around the entire body, identifying the Ruyi Jingu Bang's point of impact and preparing to meet the attack.
At the same time, red light flashed in its eyes, and countless pink heart-shaped bubbles shot out from its eyes, instantly spreading out.
"What is this thing!"
Monkey (Sun Wukong) looked at the pink heart-shaped bubbles, not understanding what they were, and didn't take them to heart. He waved his Ruyi Jingu Bang and continued smashing towards the Iron Man before him, relying on his Vajra Indestructible Body, letting these pink bubbles land on his body.
Just as those pink bubbles landed on Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s body, an indescribable emotion spread to Monkey (Sun Wukong)'s heart.
