Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 485 - : Leader of Tongtian Takes Action (!)

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Leader of Tongtian Takes Action (Chapter 10!)

“My enemy? No, no, no, I merely wish to ask for a favor from you, brother!”

Leader of Tongtian shook his head with a nonchalant smile and said, “Wukong is a bosom friend of mine, and he is also a good brother to my disciple Luo Bai. I plan to take him away safely, that’s all!”

“Take him away? Impossible! This brat must die today!”

Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s face flashed with a ferocious look, “Today, this seat will absolutely not let this little beast go!”

“Primordial, I call you brother out of respect for our master; do you really think I, Tongtian, am afraid of you?”

The smile vanished from Leader of Tongtian’s face, and his expression turned grave as he said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re truly after! In the end, isn’t it just that you covet the Chaos Divine Pearl that Wukong possesses? You already have many treasures bestowed by our master, yet you are not content, and you covet the possessions of others, using your greater strength to bully the lesser. Do you not know the meaning of shame?”

“Hold your tongue!”

Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s face turned beet red as he bellowed, “Tongtian, don’t think you can be so unbridled just because you are the most beloved disciple of our master. Today, I have claimed the life of this demon monkey!”

“Then I’m afraid I must apologize, but I have also resolved to protect Wukong’s life today! Primordial, our previous fight was interrupted by our eldest brother, and I was left unsatisfied. Today is the perfect opportunity to settle things!”

Leader of Tongtian sneered and spoke without a shred of weakness, flourishing his Qingping Sword and pointing it obliquely at Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Qingping Sword was Leader of Tongtian’s Lifebound Divine Weapon, bestowed upon him by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. It was originally a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and during the Divine Enthronement War, while fighting four saints, Leader of Tongtian was momentarily distracted and failed to fully infuse Immortal Force into it, resulting in the sword being broken into pieces by the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree wielded by Zhun Ti Daoist.

Everyone assumed that the Divine Weapon Qingping Sword had been damaged beyond repair, even Leader of Tongtian initially thought so. However, upon returning to Zixiao Palace with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, he learned the Soul Refinement Method and, by merging and reforging the fragments of the Qingping Sword with his own Divine Soul, not only did he repair the broken sword, but its grade also surpassed its previous state, reaching the same level as the Innate Supreme Treasure-like Pangu Banner!

Apart from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, no one else knew that the Qingping Sword had been reforged with an elevated grade. Since the Divine Enthronement War, this was the first time the Qingping Sword had been revealed before the public!

Within the inner space of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, the echoing voice of the Divine Talisman Instrument Spirit spoke again: “Host, your body has been fully recreated, identical to before, with all injuries healed. You are restored to your peak condition. You have one remaining opportunity for Revival from the Dead, please cherish it, host!”

As the voice faded, Sun Wukong suddenly felt darkness before his eyes, and his consciousness withdrew from the inner space of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Leader of Tongtian standing before him with a sword.

“Tongtian, old brother?”

A surprised cry came from Sun Wukong’s mouth; he had not expected Leader of Tongtian to come to his rescue!

“Wukong, you’re awake?”

Leader of Tongtian glanced back at Sun Wukong with a hint of a smile, “Good lad, it seems you’ve safely crossed your emotional tribulation, and my intervention wasn’t in vain after all!”

Emotional tribulation? Safely crossed?

A flicker of surprise passed through Sun Wukong’s eyes, followed quickly by understanding. Previously, due to Zi Lan Fairy’s death, he had almost descended into madness, thinking of nothing but killing Tathagata Buddha to avenge Zi Lan Fairy, which had led him down the Demonic Path. That must be the “emotional tribulation” the Leader of Tongtian was speaking of, right?

With that thought, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but bitterly smile and shake his head. Safely crossed? He had clearly failed his Tribulation Crossing! If not for the revival effects of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, he would’ve been reduced to ashes by now; how could he still be standing here, whole and unharmed, conversing with the Leader of Tongtian?

Looking at Primordial Heavenly Venerable standing not far ahead on a cloud of auspiciousness, Sun Wukong realized that it must have been Primordial Heavenly Venerable who attempted to sneak attack him the moment his physical body had just reformed and his divine soul had yet to return, only to be blocked by Leader of Tongtian, hence their current tense standoff.

“Thank you, Brother Tongtian!”

Sun Wukong bowed respectfully to Leader of Tongtian. Even though it was the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman that had revived him, it was Leader of Tongtian who had protected his life. If not for Leader of Tongtian’s support, he would have been pulverized by Primordial Heavenly Venerable in an instant during his physical reformation!

“No need to be so formal! If you really want to thank me, wait until this matter is settled. I’ll visit Flower-Fruit Mountain as a guest, and I’ll show you something you’ve longed for in your dreams. Then it won’t be too late to thank me!”

Leader of Tongtian gently shook his head, and while Sun Wukong was still startled, Leader of Tongtian had already stepped forward and rushed toward Primordial Heavenly Venerable. His Green Ripple Sword stirred up dazzling sword light, slashing fiercely at Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

“Sword Qi bursts forth like cows against the Big Dipper, a gallant entry into the heavenly realms!”

The radiant sword light blossomed in the sky, as if the Ninth Layer of Heaven itself was enveloped by the Sword Qi, permeating everywhere and penetrating everything. It transformed into a Sword Qi Storm sweeping toward Primordial Heavenly Venerable. The might of this single sword strike seemed to shred the entire world to pieces. Sun Wukong’s eyelids twitched wildly at the sight. Was this the true power of the progenitor of Sword Immortals, Leader of Tongtian? Terrifying!

The face of Primordial Heavenly Venerable displayed an unprecedented seriousness. Unlike Sun Wukong, Leader of Tongtian, like him, had attained the status of Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, and was most cherished by their master Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. Leader of Tongtian had fully received the true teachings of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. During the Divine Enthronement War, although they had clashed, it was just an exchange of two moves without fully unleashing their powers.

In the subsequent grand battle of the saints, Primordial Heavenly Venerable had the advantage of numbers, and he wasn’t completely certain of Leader of Tongtian’s combat power. Not to mention, so many years had passed since the Divine Enthronement War, and Leader of Tongtian had likely become even more fearsome than before. He could not afford to be careless!

“Creation Mysterious Light!”

With a swing of the Pangu Banner in his hand, vast swathes of Creation Mysterious Technique burst forth, instantly dividing yin and yang, ordering the five elements, and giving rise to endless “earth, water, fire, wind,” which met the onslaught of Leader of Tongtian’s Sword Qi Storm.

The Sword Qi Storm and the elemental forces of “earth, water, fire, wind” collided silently, obliterating each other without making a sound—a stark contrast to Sun Wukong’s earlier battles, almost silent yet even more awe-inspiring.

Only when strength is concentrated to such an extent, completely under control, can forces be perfectly neutralized against each other without any sound and shockwave spreading. Sun Wukong admitted to himself that he could not achieve this yet.

The strength of these two could be said to be evenly matched!
