Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and defeated 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, however, when he killed the Tongming Hall outside the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, he was blocked by the thirty-six thunder generals, which has always been a topic of conversation. So, why was he able to defeat 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, but he was defeated by 36 Thunder Generals?
1. The 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of the all-star lineup
is different from the film and television dramas, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who suppressed Sun Wukong back then were by no means a few heavenly generals such as the Four Heavenly Kings, Nezha, and the Giant Spirit God commanded by Li Jing, the king of Tota, as well as the 100,000 heavenly soldiers with mediocre mana, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in the original book are an elite division with an all-star lineup.
This force can be said to be full of gods. In the fifth chapter of the original work, when he learned that Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Li Tianwang to command 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress it, and the book wrote-
"The Jade Emperor was very annoyed, that is, he sent the four heavenly kings, cooperated with Li Tianwang and Prince Nezha, and ordered the twenty-eight houses, the nine Yao Xingguan, the twelve Yuanchen, the five directions to reveal the truth, the four values of Gong Cao, the east and west star dou, the two gods of the north and the south, the five mountains and the four blasphemy, and the universal stars, a total of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and set up 18 heavenly nets in the lower realm, and went to Huaguo Mountain to besiege them, and they were sure to capture and deal with them."
The lowest-ranking heavenly general among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals is also a god with a head and a face like the universal astrology. These days will all have a strong mana cultivation, take one of the twenty-eight houses of Kui Mu Wolf as an example, he once went to the lower realm to the Boyue Cave as a demon, because of the capture of Tang Seng, and Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng clashed. But the two brothers are not his opponents at all, and it is even written in the book that the mana of the twenty Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng is not as good as him.
A Kui Timber Wolf is still so powerful, and the strength of 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals is unimaginable. However, such a powerful elite division was killed by Sun Wukong, which shows how powerful Sun Wukong's mana is.
With his powerful mana cultivation, after Sun Wukong attacked the Heavenly Court, he was invincible all the way, from the Doushi Palace of the Thirty-third Heaven to the Tongming Hall of the Ninth Heaven, and seeing that he was about to enter the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, a Praetorian Guard force of dozens of people suddenly blocked in front of him.
2. Thirty-six thunder generals with strong combat power
The Praetorian Guard troops who prevented Sun Wukong from entering the Lingxiao Treasure Hall were none other than the thirty-six Lei Generals. Although the number of these thirty-six thunder generals is not large, their combat effectiveness is very strong, because each of the thunder generals is not an idle person, but a master among the masters of the Heavenly Court Praetorian Guard. They represent the highest level of the Heavenly Praetorian Guard.
Sure enough, as soon as they fought with Sun Wukong, they blocked Sun Wukong in the Tongming Palace, and they couldn't move forward a single step. Sun Wukong used all his strength, raised the golden hoop stick to launch a fierce attack on the thunder generals, but the thunder generals were not afraid, and used their great mana to fight Sun Wukong, and once beat Sun Wukong out of temper.
If it weren't for Sun Wukong's previous stealing of a large amount of elixir and his extraordinary physical strength, as the battle continued, the thunder generals gradually lost their physical strength, and he was still fighting like a rainbow, and he was likely to be defeated by the thunder generals.
But even so, the thunder generals were not defeated by Sun Wukong, until the Jade Emperor Xuan Rulai arrived in heaven to rescue him, the Lei generals were still fighting with Sun Wukong, and still blocked Sun Wukong outside the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, but due to lack of physical strength, they were gradually at a disadvantage.
Speaking of which, everyone must be very curious, Sun Wukong can defeat 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, why is he defeated by 36 thunder generals?
3. Why did Sun Wukong lose to the thirty-six Lei Generals
Sun Wukong was defeated by the thirty-six thunder generals, in fact, in addition to the high mana of the thunder generals themselves, there is another very important reason, that is, they have a god-level commander.
In the seventh chapter of the original work, after Sun Wukong killed the Tongming Palace, the book wrote, "The great holy path enters the Tongming Palace, outside the Lingxiao Palace; was blocked by the envoy Wang Lingguan of the blessed saint true monarch, and transferred thirty-six thunder generals, trapped him in his heart, and he could not get close to each other in the end."
It can be seen that the commander of the thirty-six Lei generals is Wang Lingguan. Wang Lingguan is not an idle person, he is the most powerful general of the Jade Emperor, and the book also says that he is the assistant envoy of Yousheng Zhenjun, and Yousheng Zhenjun is the famous Zhenwu Emperor.
Emperor Zhenwu not only has a very high status in the Journey to the West world, but also has unfathomable mana, and is also the most feared god of Sun Wukong. Wang Lingguan can serve as the envoy of Emperor Zhenwu, and his status and strength are naturally extraordinary.
In fact, Emperor Zhenwu was ordered by the Jade Emperor and Yuan Shi Tianzun to kill the demons who committed murder and evil in the Three Realms, and it was Wang Lingguan who followed him to subdue the demons. Wang Lingguan assisted Emperor Zhenwu to go to Beiju Luzhou to subdue demons, and killed all the evil demons and monsters in a large part of the continent, making Beiju Luzhou a situation of ten thousand demons in the Three Realms, which shows the strength of its mana.
Wang Lingguan's mana is likely to be not inferior to Sun Wukong, and in lies, Wang Lingguan alone can be tied with Sun Wukong. In this case, it is not surprising that the thirty-six Lei generals, under his command, blocked Sun Wukong in the Tongming Palace, and even frustrated Sun Wukong for a time. What do you think?
