Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 482 - : Loser, Winner, Does It Really Matter That Much? (Seventh Update!)

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Loser, Winner, Does It Really Matter That Much? (Seventh Update!)

“Does Wukong really care so little for his own life that he would unleash such an attack?”

Above the Heavenly Ladder, a figure materialized, it was none other than the Leader of Tongtian. He placed his hand on the shoulder of Luo Bai, who was retreating in panic. A ripple of strength emanated from the Leader of Tongtian, blocking the residual force of the attack. From where they stood, the collapse of the Heavenly Ladder finally ceased.

“Master! You have finally arrived!”

Turning his head, Luo Bai cried out in surprise, and then he begged anxiously with a tense face, “Master, please help Brother Monkey. If this continues, he’ll die!”

The strength that Sun Wukong displayed was indeed astonishing. Even the Tathagata Buddha suffered a great loss at his hands and nearly perished within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. But as a Sword Immortal, Luo Bai’s understanding of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation surpassed that of Sun Wukong; he was well aware that the true reason Sun Wukong could achieve this feat was that he was burning his Life Primordial in exchange for tremendous attack power!

If this continued, whether or not he could kill the Tathagata Buddha, at the moment the Great Formation dispersed, Sun Wukong’s Life Primordial would be completely exhausted, his body would turn to dust, and his soul would scatter!

“This is his emotional tribulation; he must cross it by himself. Even as his master, I am unable to help!”

The Leader of Tongtian shook his head, his gaze penetrating the intense light to behold Sun Wukong within the Great Formation. At that moment, Sun Wukong radiated a cold murderous intent and a faint sense of death, clearly determined to fight to the death, making the Leader of Tongtian let out a sigh involuntarily.

“Unable to help? Master, is there really no other way? Brother Monkey turned out like this because of the huge blow he received from Sister-in-law’s fall. You must save him!”

Luo Bai was frantic. In his eyes, the Leader of Tongtian, his Master, had always been omnipotent; there was nothing in this world that could vex the Leader of Tongtian! But now, even the Leader of Tongtian was saying there was no salvation for Sun Wukong. Was he to simply watch Sun Wukong consume his Life Essence and vanish from this world forever?

“Alas!”

The Leader of Tongtian sighed again. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save Sun Wukong, nor did he wish to see him perish; but Sun Wukong was now in Demonic Possession, having burned his Life Primordial. Even if stopped now, it was likely Sun Wukong would become useless, only able to live a mediocre life — would he accept such a life?

If it were the Leader of Tongtian himself, he would definitely choose to die gloriously in battle rather than live a life as a useless person, devoid of any contribution, right?

At a distance, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable observed the life-and-death struggle between Sun Wukong and the Tathagata Buddha, his eyes involuntarily twitched. He truly hadn’t expected things to develop to such an extent!

Given Sun Wukong’s Cultivation Realm, even though his combat power was exceptional enough to contend with Saints, it was only under the condition that the Saints suppressed their own strength. Now, during the third era of the unmeasurable great calamities, the stability of the Three Realms’ space greatly increased, enabling the Heavenly Dao Saints to exert their true strength. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for Sun Wukong to withstand the Tathagata!

Yet this Demon Monkey was too unpredictable; his mastery of Divine Skills and magic was nothing short of extraordinary. The Chaos Divine Pearl he possessed was a treasure beyond compare. Knocked down time and again, yet he stood up each time as if nothing had happened. Just as he seemed to run out of trump cards and was about to fall under the Buddha Palm of the Tathagata Buddha, Zi Lan Fairy appeared and used the Infatuation Curse to block the decisive blow for him.

And that led to the Monkey falling into Demonic Possession!

Burning his life primordial, his strength greatly increased, and he even borrowed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation from Luo Bai. Wielding the power obtained from burning his life primordial to activate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, he nearly buried Tathagata Buddha within the sword array. Now, he was unreservedly continuing to escalate the burning of his life primordial, a reckless stance that made even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable feel a scalp-tingling dread.

Fortunately, it wasn’t him who was fighting to the death against Sun Wukong; otherwise, given the current situation, even if he had slain the demon monkey, he would likely have suffered severe injuries himself!

“This is good too. You all just fight to the death! It would be best if you both suffer mutual destruction, saving me the trouble!”

Amid his shock, a sinister smile revealed itself at the corner of the mouth of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. There had always been friction between the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect; the one who originally cooperated with him was the Guiding Daoist, who later became Amitabha Buddha, not Tathagata Buddha, this usurper of Buddhism’s merit and foundations!

The third Limitless Calamity had already begun, and no one could clearly tell whether a sacred war would erupt. Although the limitations on the Heavenly Dao Saints were lifted during the Limitless Calamity, allowing them to exert their full strength, the iron law that Heavenly Dao Saints possessed undying bodies was also broken. Once a full-strength battle ensued, should a sacred war erupt, even the Heavenly Dao Saints might fall.

This was proven during the first Limitless Calamity, where two saints of the Ancient Demon Clan, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, perished together with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, dissipating between heaven and earth. The precedent was clear, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable dared not be careless.

Enemies like Tathagata Buddha and Sun Wukong, it would be best if they perished together!

The showdown between Tathagata Buddha and Sun Wukong had lasted half a day, and finally, a conclusion was reached. The blinding light gradually dissipated, revealing the scene within the battlefield to everyone. The immense golden body of Tathagata Buddha was covered with dense sword scars, and streams of golden Buddha blood trickled continuously from them. The newly regrown arm had disappeared once again, pulverized in the recent confrontation.

He was gravely injured!

The lord of Buddhism, the Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint, Tathagata Buddha, had been seriously wounded by the decisive strike of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation unleashed by Sun Wukong in a fight to the death!

“Sun Wukong!”

At this moment, the face of Tathagata Buddha bore no trace of solemnity or majesty, only intense hatred and a will to kill. Looking at Sun Wukong’s figure emerging from the dust, he growled viciously, “You’ve exhausted all your life primordial, and you’re about to vanish into smoke and ash! In this battle, you are the loser!”

“Loser, winner, does it really matter?”

Unlike Tathagata Buddha, there were no visible wounds on Sun Wukong’s body, but he knew well, just as Tathagata Buddha had said, that all his life primordial had been exhausted in that one strike, and all that awaited him was obliteration.

But it didn’t matter anymore!

Zi Lan had died. In her attempt to save him, she activated the Infatuation Curse and was erased from existence, leaving no chance for reincarnation. If he couldn’t avenge Zi Lan, what meaning was there in living in this world?

“Tathagata, I, Old Sun, have lost, but you haven’t won either! The injuries you’ve sustained today will take three to five hundred years to heal; you won’t recover any time soon. In this third Limitless Calamity, your Buddhist Sect has no more chances! This is the greatest punishment for you. I, Old Sun, have made it count!”
