More info
Yes. Erlang Shen (also called Yang Jian) appears in Black Myth: Wukong as a secret, post‑game boss encounter — you can only reach him after completing the main story and accessing a hidden area on Mount Mei. The optional fight unfolds in two stages (an initial Erlang form followed by the full Erlang Shen), making him an extra, high‑difficulty challenge for completionist players (Game8 guide).
To find and unlock him you need to return to the Pagoda/Great Pagoda Keeper Shrine in Chapter 3’s realm after finishing the game; speaking with certain NPCs opens a secret passage to Secret: Mount Mei where the encounter begins. The sequence typically pits you against Erlang, then the Four Heavenly Kings, and finally Erlang Shen himself. Rewards for defeating him include rare crafting materials and unique drops noted in community guides — for example, Game8 and the community wiki list items such as Celestial Ribbon and unique weapons as post‑game spoils (TheGamer explainer; Black Myth Wiki).
