In Journey to the West, the Bull Demon King was not one of the seven saints who became sworn brothers with Sun Wukong. The Bull Demon King did appear in the early chapters, but he never appeared again in the later chapters. As far as I know, the Bull Demon King's main role in Journey to the West is as a villain. He and other villains such as monsters and demons threaten the lives of the four masters. In the later chapters, the author might want to describe more about the growth and adventures of Sun Wukong and the other protagonists, so he skipped over the role of the Bull Demon King. Of course, this was only a possible explanation. There might be other reasons. However, no matter what the reason was, the Bull Demon King's role in Journey to the West was not fully played, and his image was gradually replaced by other villains.
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was one of the Seven Sages and the other six were Nezha, Immortal Taiyi, Princess Iron Fan, Bull Demon King, and Sha Wujing. The reason why Sun Wukong became the last of the Seven Sages was that he encountered many difficulties and dangers on his way to the Western Heaven to learn the scriptures. He had made some mistakes, so he was punished by the Jade Emperor to become a monkey in the mortal world. Sun Wukong was subdued by the Earth God and became a local god. During the journey, Sun Wukong helped Tang Sanzang to overcome many obstacles and thus made many friends and enemies. Although he was an immortal, he had suffered many setbacks and tribulations on his way to learn the scriptures, which made him stronger and braver. In the final battle, Sun Wukong and the Great Demon King fought fiercely. Although he was agile and resourceful, the strength and courage of the Great Demon King made Sun Wukong feel unprecedented pressure. In the end, Sun Wukong used the Jingu Staff to defeat the Great Demon King and achieved the final victory on the road to learning the scriptures. Therefore, Sun Wukong became the last of the Seven Sages because he had experienced many setbacks and dangers on his way to the scriptures. He had made mistakes and was punished by the Jade Emperor to descend to the mortal world. However, he became stronger and braver through trials and battles, and finally became a legendary hero.
I recommend Journey to the West: I'm dying, my disciple eavesdropped on my thoughts. This novel was a fantasy-modern magic novel. The main character, Salted Fish, was accidentally eavesdropped on by Sun Wukong, the King of the Kingdom of Women, and the Scorpion Spirit. They fought to be apprenticed to each other and began a bitter life of teaching. In the story, Sun Wukong was a Golden Core Cultivator. He played an important role in helping the protagonist, Yang Feng, practice immortal techniques, kill demons, and finally help the protagonist unify the demon world.

In Journey to the West, Wukong was one of the Seven Demonic Sages. He was very powerful and was known as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". However, even though he was very powerful, he did not rank himself at the front of the seven demon sages. Instead, he was willing to rank last. This was mainly because Wukong had his own goals and principles. He didn't want to fight for the ranking but wanted to do things in his own way. He believed that he was strong enough and didn't need to rely on the ranking to prove himself. In addition, Wukong also had a certain friendship and respect with other demon saints. He got along well with other demon sages and would not fight for the ranking. Instead, they would be ranked according to each other's strength and ability. Therefore, Wukong did not rank himself at the top of the seven demon sages, but ranked according to his strength and friendship. This was why he was willing to rank last.
The Bull Demon King and Hou Yi were all in the four novels, Great Wilderness Immortal Court, Imperial Dragon Yang Zun, Journey to the West: I Am Barbarian Niu, and Primordial God of Arrows Hou Yi. These novels were all Xianxia-Mythology-Cultivation novels or Fantasy-Eastern Fantasy novels. Among them, the Great Wilderness Immortal Court belonged to the Dynasty Conquest category. In these novels, Bull Demon King and Hou Yi were both important characters, and their plots were also very exciting. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
I recommend you a novel called "Supreme Heaven", which was also written by the author. The main character was also Sun Wukong, but the difference was that he was an Undead Demon King. The book had been signed by Genesis, and the outline was complete, so it would definitely be finished. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
Sun Wukong appeared in many other novels and legends besides Journey to the West. Here are some examples: In Water Margins, Sun Wukong was Lu Zhishen's good friend and had once helped Lu Zhishen capture Sun Wukong. 2 In Dream of the Red Chamber, Sun Wukong was Jia Baoyu's senior brother. He had once entered the spirit world because he had eaten a spiritual peach. Later, he became an immortal through his divine powers. In Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Sun Wukong was a deity who had helped many monsters become humans. The image of Sun Wukong in Water Margins was also adapted into an animation and appeared in the animated film Sun Wukong and the White Bone Demon. Sun Wukong was an important character that appeared in literature, opera, TV series, and animation. His image and story had become an important part of Chinese traditional culture.
πI recommend Journey to the West: Invincibility from Mount Fangcun to you. The protagonist Wang Gu traveled through the world of Journey to the West and became Sun Wukong's sworn brother and teacher. He became Sun Wukong's senior brother. The main character was bound to the apprentice mission system. Once the apprentice completed the mission, they would become stronger! From the moment Sun Wukong became his disciple, the protagonist's path to becoming stronger was unstoppable! I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
Bull Demon King, also known as Marshal Iron Bull, was a villain in Journey to the West. He was originally a marshal in the Heavenly Palace, but he was expelled from the Heavenly Palace because he had a conflict with the gods. He was demoted to the mortal world and became a demon king. In the mortal world, he had a fierce battle with Sun Wukong and other Buddhist scriptures teams. In the end, he was defeated by Sun Wukong and fled back to the Demon King's Realm. The Bull Demon King's personality was very cunning and good at changing. He had super strength and endurance, and was also an extremely ferocious demon. His image in Journey to the West was very popular among readers and was considered a charming and dangerous villain.
That novel is "I Am Not Nezha in the Wilderness." I recommend another novel with Sun Wukong and Hongjun, which is "The Invincible Journey to the West." I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
I recommend Journey to the West: The Great Sage. This book tells the story of Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy finally having a daughter and Sun Wukong becoming a peerless good father. I hope you like my recommendation.π
