Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 493 - : Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation VS Twenty-Four Heavens (Second Update!)

As the Twenty-Four Heavens took shape, Ran Deng Buddha’s form began to fade, merging into the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds. In each of the small worlds within the Twenty-Four Heavens, a golden Buddha Dharma Body appeared, floating in front of it a Palace Lantern emitting a soft, cold light, precisely Ran Deng Buddha’s magical treasure, one of the Four Great Spirit Lamps — the Sarcophagus Lamp. Within it burned one of the Four Great Heavenly Fires, the Netherworld Ghost Flame.

“Sun Wukong, today is the day you die!”

A Buddha’s chant that resonated throughout the Twenty-Four Heavens rang out, and in the worlds of the Twenty-Four Heavens, each golden Buddha produced a Golden Demon-Subduing Staff in their hands and struck down at Sun Wukong, who was surrounded in their midst.

Like heavenly pillars toppling and worlds collapsing, the Twenty-Four Golden Demon-Subduing Staffs, ablaze with Netherworld Ghost Flames, targeted Sun Wukong. The terrifying oppressive force caused the entire space to tremble slightly, as if it were on the verge of fracturing.

The attack had yet to reach him, but Sun Wukong already felt an overwhelming pressure, his bones creaking as though he would be crushed to the ground.

“Such a powerful attack, I can’t block this one!”

Ran Deng Buddha’s attack was nearly as powerful as Tathagata Buddha’s full-force Buddha Heart Strike. Relying solely on his own strength, Sun Wukong couldn’t possibly fend it off. The Chaos Divine Pearl’s etherealization and rebound effects were still cooling down and wouldn’t recover until three days later. The only thing he could count on now was the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!

“Formation, rise!”

With a flip of his palm, the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram began to float above his palm, suddenly expanding into an ethereal outline. The Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying flew out from the diagram’s sword holes and merged into the four directions. Fierce Sword Qi of Heavenly Dao Slaughter converged from the void on all sides, gathering in front of Sun Wukong and swiftly forming Heavenly Dao Killing Swords.

“Strike!”

With a light shout from Sun Wukong, the Heavenly Dao Killing Swords in front of him flew up and slashed at the Twenty-Four Golden Demon-Subduing Staffs.

Boom, boom, boom!

The staffs, like heavenly pillars, were hindered by the Heavenly Dao Killing Swords, triggering a tremendously powerful surge of energy. Their descent was blocked, coming to a stalemate ten zhang above Sun Wukong’s head.

“Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation! Wasn’t it supposed to be returned to the Leader of Tongtian? How come it is still in this Demon Monkey’s hands?”

Ran Deng Buddha was shocked, his face clouding over with unease. During the fierce battle between Tathagata Buddha and Sun Wukong, he had been in closed-door cultivation to prove the Tao, completely cut off from the outside world, unaware that Sun Wukong had borrowed the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram and the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying from Luo Bai to resist Tathagata Buddha’s desperate attack. Now, seeing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation reappear, his heart sank.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was the most lethal formation from the ancient primeval times, presiding over the Heavenly Dao of Slaughter. If it were wielded by the Leader of Tongtian, it could even cut through chaos. Although Sun Wukong’s strength was far inferior to the Leader of Tongtian, this Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation looked quite genuine. The power of the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds was formidable indeed, but it might not be enough to suppress this Demon Monkey!

Ran Deng Buddha glanced over at the battlefield between the Leader of Tongtian and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. That the Leader of Tongtian would actually lend the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying along with the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram to Sun Wukong and even personally come to the rescue, what exactly was the relationship between him and this Demon Monkey?

The doubts were momentary, for Ran Deng Buddha quickly cast these concerns aside. No matter what the relationship between Sun Wukong and the Leader of Tongtian was, today he had to die!

If he missed out today, there might never be another chance to kill this Demon Monkey. If he was allowed to continue growing, the threat he would pose in the future could be far more terrifying than the wrath of the Leader of Tongtian!

“Rotations of the heavens, annihilation of the ten thousand Buddhas! Suppress for me!”

The power of Twenty-Four Heavens’ worlds erupted once more, making Buddha’s golden body more solid by several degrees. Twenty-four Golden Demon-Subduing Staffs converged at the center, forming one massive staff akin to a heavenly pillar. Countless Great Dao Runes wrapped around the staff, Buddhist chants filled the sky, and an unstoppable aura that could suppress all beings under heaven and earth spread out in all directions.

“Has the Buddhist Sect’s Twenty-Four Heavens really developed to such an extent?”

Leader of Tongtian and Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, simultaneously halted, their eyes filled with a mix of astonishment and uncertainty as they watched the Golden Demon-Subduing Staff plummeting down from the center of the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds. Even with their cultivation strength, they could feel the terrifying power contained in Ran Deng Buddha’s strike. Leader of Tongtian’s brow furrowed, a flash of urgency flickered in his eyes. Sun Wukong, he feared, would not be able to withstand such an attack!

Although the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array was the premier killing formation of the Heavenly Dao, the extent of its power still depended on the strength of the person leading the formation. Sun Wukong had revived from death and, although his injuries and strength had recovered to their peak, the half-day of entanglement had also consumed a great deal of his power, nowhere near enough to sustain the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array for an extended period, let alone withstand a direct clash with Ran Deng Buddha’s Twenty-Four Heavens!

Unless he did as he had before, burning his life force to operate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, but that would be like quenching thirst with poison. Even if he could shatter the Twenty-Four Heavens, his life would not be spared!

With a thought, Leader of Tongtian wanted to break away and help, only to be blocked by a string of Heaven-Opening Qi Blades shot by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable shaking the Pangu Banner: “Brother Tongtian, don’t think about rescuing that Demon Monkey. Today is destined to be his day of demise! Furthermore, don’t think about using clones to save him. I, too, possess the Cloning Divine Powers. If you dare to rescue him, then don’t blame me for acting against your beloved disciple!”

“Primordial, are you threatening me?”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Leader of Tongtian, as a chilling Sword Intent coiled around him.

“I am merely stating a fact. The choice is yours to make!”

Primordial Heavenly Venerable sneered. He also had some reservations about Ran Deng Buddha refining the Twenty-Four Heavens, but compared to the Buddha, he felt the threat from Sun Wukong, the Demon Monkey, was much more significant!

Although Primordial Heavenly Venerable verbally belittled Sun Wukong, calling him a mere Demon Monkey, he had to admit that Sun Wukong’s potential was among the greatest he had ever seen in his life!

Should such a monstrous being be allowed to continue developing, who would be able to control him once he succeeded in Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint?

Leader of Tongtian, short-sighted fool that he was, showed such warmth to these scaly and clawed beings, a disgrace to the correct path of heaven and earth. Primordial Heavenly Venerable, upholding the fortune of heaven and earth, could not tolerate the existence of a usurper like Sun Wukong in the world!

Thinking of rescuing that Demon Monkey? No way!

“Damn it!”

Leader of Tongtian clenched his teeth, fury burning in his eyes. In his life, he hated being threatened the most. If it hadn’t been for the Chan Sect’s relentless pressure during the Divine Enthronement War, he would not have become so enraged to set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array and the Great Formation, causing mountains to crumble and the Primeval to fall silent. Today, Primordial Heavenly Venerable was threatening him with Luo Bai—intolerable by all accounts!

Auntie might endure, but uncle shall not suffer this indignity!

“Primordial, today I shall see who is superior, take this sword strike!”
