I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 387: The Four Elephants Reunite, the Devil Returns! (1)

"Help!"

Accompanied by shrill cries, the heavenly soldiers, drenched by the pouring poisonous rain, struggled in agony. A strange black smoke continuously emerged from their bodies, as if countless poisonous snakes were slithering and gnawing at them.

The extremely terrifying poisonous rain corroded their flesh and blood as quickly as strong acid. In the blink of an eye, these originally majestic heavenly soldiers turned into pale skeletons, lying lifeless on the sky ship.

The celestial soldier at the helm was also not spared. The moment he was transformed into a skeleton, the celestial ship suddenly lost control like a wild horse and began to spin wildly. The huge inertia made everything on the celestial ship shaky and ready to fall into the abyss of no return at any time.

At this moment, the many women resting in the cabin noticed something was amiss and rushed out without hesitation. Fairy Hibiscus saw at a glance that the skyship was about to collide with a towering mountain not far away. The situation was extremely critical!

Without hesitation, she flashed to the helm, gripping the rudder with both hands, using all her strength to try to steady the ship's course. After a difficult maneuver, the ship finally managed to regain balance at the critical moment, avoiding a catastrophic collision.

"This power... isn't it the power of the Rain Witch? Could it be that..." Nezha widened his eyes and looked at the corpses of the heavenly soldiers lying around in horror. The tragic scene when the heavenly army conquered the Rain Witch involuntarily emerged in his mind. The two scenes were so similar!

However, what he found unbelievable was that the Rain Witch had clearly been defeated by Li Chen long ago, so why did such a terrifying force appear again? For a moment, Nezha was filled with confusion and fear.

Just when everyone was in panic, a steady and powerful voice rang out: "Third Prince, this was not done by the Rain Witch!" The person who spoke was Li Chen. He had a serious face, but was extremely calm, as if he had expected everything that was happening before his eyes.

"What did you say? This isn't the Rain Witch? Then what kind of monster is this?"

Nezha asked with eyes wide open, his face filled with astonishment. Although he usually had many complaints about the Heavenly Court, these heavenly soldiers and generals in front of him were innocent people after all, and they were his subordinates!

"Wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the Four Symbols have gathered, covering the sky and the sun, the devil has returned! The Four Symbols Ancestral Witch! Now that things have come to this, do you still want to hide your head and show your tail?"

Li Chen's eyes widened in anger as he shouted at the dark figure hidden behind the clouds. By this point, he had clearly grasped the true identity of this newly revealed opponent. The four elements of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning converged simultaneously. Who else, other than the legendary Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman, could possess such terrifying momentum and power?

At that moment, a terrifying, blood-curdling laugh suddenly erupted, like a surging torrent, instantly impacting the eardrums of everyone present. Then, with lightning speed, that enormous and terrifying figure appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye.

Everyone took a closer look and gasped. The monster was incredibly bizarre: Stretching from its broad back were a pair of massive wings, gleaming with blue and red arcs, like those of the Lightning Shaman. Its razor-sharp claws, like those of the Rain Shaman, gleamed with a chilling glint, sending chills down its spine. Its thick, powerful arms resembled those of the Thunder Shaman, their muscles wielding boundless explosive power. Even more bizarre, the hideous, twisted face of the Wind Shaman was nestled within its abdomen, creating a particularly terrifying sight. Behind it hung circles of terrifying Five Thunder Drum Rings, rumbling with dull thunder as it moved. Skulls adorned various parts of its body, adorned with sharp bone spurs, highlighting the terrifying power of the ancient demon god.

"What? The Ancestral Witches can actually merge together?!"

When Nezha heard the news, he was so shocked that he was speechless. His mouth opened wide and his eyes were as big as copper bells, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out.

He had never imagined that these legendary ancient witches actually possessed such magical and terrifying abilities, and could become even more powerful by combining with each other. This was beyond his imagination and cognition, making it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

At this moment, Nezha was filled with astonishment and disbelief. Not long ago, he and the Heavenly Court's soldiers had just fought a fierce battle against the various Ancestral Witches active in various places. However, upon learning that these Ancestral Witches could not only fight independently but could even merge into a more powerful whole, he couldn't help but gasp.

The pressure generated by the combined might of the Ancestral Witches far surpassed any individual Ancestral Witch he had faced before. The overwhelming aura weighed on his heart like a heavy mountain, nearly suffocating him. Simply feeling this pressure made Nezha realize that if he were to face such an enemy head-on, he would be plunged into an unprecedented predicament.

"That's right, Third Prince. That's exactly the truth."

Li Chen, who was standing by, saw Nezha's astonishment and quickly explained, "There are five great witches in this world: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They can combine to become the Five Elements. There are also four great witches: wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. They can combine to become the Four Symbols. As for the three great witches: time, space, and weather, they can combine to form the Three Talents."

As Li Chen explained in detail, Nezha's mind became more and more amazed. His understanding of these elements had previously been limited to their individual forms and the basic laws governing their mutual growth and restraint. He had never imagined that the corresponding ancestral witches held such a staggering secret—they could fuse and coalesce into an indestructible force.

"Hahahahahaha..."

A burst of arrogant laughter suddenly erupted, resounding through the sky and shaking the surrounding air. The Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman looked at Li Chen and Nezha with a ferocious expression, his eyes gleaming with cruelty and disdain. He said viciously, "Li Chen, Li Chen, and you, you ignorant brat, have you finally said your last words? Humph, now it's my turn to send you to hell!"

The reason the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch had stood silently, not intervening, was simple: in the eyes of this arrogant and conceited ancient demon god, Li Chen and Nezha were like lambs to be slaughtered, powerless to resist his authority. Their so-called conversation was nothing more than a desperate and futile attempt to arrange their final wishes.

Leveraging the inherent arrogance of an ancient demon god, coupled with his own immense power, the Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman confidently believed that no matter how Li Chen and Nezha struggled, it would be futile. In his eyes, the two were merely making their final, desperate struggle, and allowing Nezha, a young child, to die with understanding was a great act of mercy!

Thinking of this, the smirk on the Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman's face grew even more ferocious. He suddenly extended his powerful arms, his massive claws flashing with terrifying lightning, imbued with the terrifying power of the Thunder Ancestral Shaman. With a furious roar, his claws, like lightning, clawed fiercely at the skyship carrying Li Chen and the others, seemingly intent on ripping it in two!
