Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 308 - 297: The Flesh Beng Splits
Feeling the spiritual power of the lightning within the blazing white sun being rapidly dissolved and absorbed, Bai Yi’s heart was filled with alarm. Although he had been equally surprised to see the World Suppressing Stele, he also had strong confidence in this particular move of his. After all, it contained the force of his Primordial Lightning, and ever since he had conceived this technique, it had been invincible, working wonders without fail against any opponent—those lightly wounded were lucky, while the severely wounded perished!
In circumstances such as the present, however, such an outcome had never occurred before. It was not just about the absorption of his Primordial Lightning; even resistance to it had been unheard of. But Bai Yi was, after all, a formidable figure. Noticing that nearly a fifth of the spiritual power had been depleted from his Lightning Sun, gathered up through thunder power, in just a few breaths’ time, he knew that if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before the spiritual power in his Lightning Sun would be entirely absorbed.
"Ultimate Lightning, Sunburst!" Bai Yi bellowed, his plan simple: if Sun Wukong could not be harmed by this Lightning Sun, then he would have to detonate it. Such immense thunder power contained within it was terrifying, and although the Wasteland Stele had already absorbed a fifth of its spiritual power, the devastation of an explosion from the remaining power would still be a terrifying event.
However, as Bai Yi’s roar rang out, the blazing white sun, restrained by the Three Thousand Barren Soil of the Wasteland Stele, did not react at all. It remained stationary before the World Suppressing Stele, still bound by the hundreds of strands of yellow sand, still rapidly depleting of its contained spiritual power.
"Explode for me!" Another thunderous shout erupted, but no matter how hard Bai Yi tried, the blazing white sun remained unresponsive, as though it had lost all connection! It was at this moment that Bai Yi truly began to grasp the terror of the World Suppressing Stele. However, just because the Lightning Sun had lost contact, that didn’t mean Bai Yi had no other means of attack.
Raising his arms, he suddenly grasped at the void, and instantly two lightning-imbued flame spears appeared in his hands. White flames ignited at the tips of both spears, and with a flick of his arms, Bai Yi hurled the flame-tipped spears towards the Lightning Sun below. If he couldn’t detonate it with mana, then he’d use fire and thunder to do so.
After launching the two flame spears, Bai Yi’s body flashed, and the next moment he was on the ground, right beside Li who had lost an arm. "Members of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, retreat quickly, it’s about to explode!" Bai Yi shouted as he hoisted Li onto his back and prepared to hastily leave the area affected by the Lightning Sun’s impending explosion.

Bai Yi’s voice was loud, and everyone present heard it. The people from both the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm and the Myriad Spirits Realm, even those from the Genesis Netherworld Alliance Army, immediately stopped their attacks and defenses to flee in all directions as swiftly as they could. Everyone had seen the Lightning Sun clearly, and although it had been blocked by Sun Wukong using the World Suppressing Stele, it was still Bai Yi’s move. Now that he announced the imminent explosion, no one dared hesitate below.
The terrifying power of the Lightning Sun was palpable to anyone who wasn’t a fool, and an explosion would be akin to the self-destructive force of five Peak Supreme tier warriors. Even Luo Chen, upon hearing Bai Yi’s words, despite taking a hit from Rogue Heart Sword Hero, retreated with a flash.
Yet Xi Zhao and others saw that Sun Wukong was still standing behind the Wasteland Stele, showing no intention of fleeing. "Monkey, run! The power of that explosion is too great; even if you can withstand it, you’ll get hurt. It’s not worth it!" Xi Zhao, who was closest to Sun Wukong, looked up at him and yelled amid the chaos as others fled, while Xi Zhao himself had yet to move.
Flame God and the Five Battle Generals, along with others, also looked up at Sun Wukong and called out to him to flee. But Sun Wukong, as if deaf to the voices below, continued to float behind the World Suppressing Stele, his palms pressed against the stele, seemingly engaged in some unknown action.
At that moment, the two flame spears thrown by Bai Yi had already plunged into the Lightning Sun, and the white flame at their tips suddenly flared up, wrapping around the entire Lightning Sun. People below who had the fastest reflexes had managed to escape only about three to four hundred meters, the rest merely one or two hundred meters—a distance too short given the urgency, with some like Xi Zhao not having moved at all due to calling out to Sun Wukong.
But after the white flames had burned for a while, the expected violent explosion did not occur. Instead, the flames on the Lightning Sun remained unflickering, burning quietly with only occasional crackles. Suddenly, everyone was stunned; the scene was unprecedented in silence, as all looked up at the white flames burning in the sky and at the giant shield-like World Suppressing Stele, with Sun Wukong still standing behind it.
While everyone was still stunned, Sun Wukong suddenly looked down in the direction of Xi Zhao and asked loudly, "Xi Zhao, what did you just say? I didn’t catch it!" Seeing Sun Wukong’s earnest expression, Xi Zhao felt a vein in his forehead twitch. "Nothing, nothing, it’s just windy up there; be careful!"
After saying these words, Xi Zhao felt quite silly. Meanwhile, Flame God patted Rogue Heart Sword Hero on the shoulder and asked, "Sword Hero, do you think this monkey is doing it on purpose?" Rogue Heart Sword Hero glanced at Sun Wukong and then at the people around him and said, "I’m thinking the same, but it can’t be. The Monkey is not like you, so unpredictable!"
Compared to the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and his companions who breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Yi, not too far away, felt nothing but a mixture of anger and shame. Looking at his current stance, Bai Yi felt waves of humiliation washing over him, which almost drove him mad. This was because Li had him in an extremely awkward position, as though he were sitting in a rushing, scrambling pose. He was the master of the Lightning Sun, and thus fully aware of the devastating power resulting from the explosion of the Lightning Sun. However, the scene unfolding before him looked as though Bai Yi was engaging in cheap attention-seeking antics.
The other members of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm also looked towards Bai Yi with questioning faces, but what could Bai Yi say? There was nothing he could say, not even he himself knew what was going on.
But he soon found the answer, because the hundreds of strands of yellow sand that originally trapped the white sun suddenly rose up like two spirit snakes, and at the top of the sand formed two sand hands, each clutching a spear wrapped in devouring white flames. More flowing sand spread out towards the surroundings, and as it spread, the flames that had been clinging to the surface of the blazing white sun seemed to be peeled away, drifting off the surface of the sun.
Now everyone could clearly see that the flames had always been attached to a layer of yellow sand, and the yellow sand had completely enveloped the blazing sun within it. Even the two spears had not touched the surface of the sun, as they were blocked by the sand.
Sun Wukong seemed to scratch his head innocently and then chuckled with a smirk. With a single-handed gesture, he flung the sand carrying the spears forward, the spears shooting straight at Bai Yi and Li at a speed and ferocity that surpassed even Bai Yi’s throw.
However, Bai Yi had been watching the two spears intently, so the moment they were flung, he quickly dodged, retreating swiftly despite having Li on his back. But after throwing the spears, Sun Wukong’s body suddenly stiffened and then began to tremble violently.
Already, maintaining his reduced size in the Chaos Giant Transformation was difficult; Sun Wukong had just combined the Space-time Divine Skill Reset with the Heavensplitting Strike, which had greatly increased the physical strain on his body. Then, continuing the Chaos Giant Transformation to command the World Suppressing Stele to block that horrific strike, Sun Wukong’s body finally reached its limit. If he did not release the Chaos Giant Transformation soon, his physical body would completely collapse.
However, upon seeing the World Suppressing Stele still absorbing the power of the blazing white sun, Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, controlled his body with formidable willpower, and stretched out his hand, trying to recall the World Suppressing Stele. He was well aware of the terrifying nature of the World Suppressing Stele’s devouring ability.

The Dominion of Soil, once one of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, had been destroyed because of this. Yue Huangquan had previously advised him to use the World Suppressing Stele sparingly, fearing that its devouring power could erupt again. And if it was not stopped in time, it might once again cause a tragedy. While Sun Wukong struggled to withdraw the World Suppressing Stele, Luo Chen down below suddenly drastically changed his expression.
"The demon, it’s the demon! That demon is going to come out and devour everything again!" His face, filled with confusion from seeing the World Suppressing Stele, now bore only fear and shock. His expression was akin to that of an ordinary mortal encountering a ghost.
Standing next to Luo Chen, Jue Luan suddenly slapped him heavily on the shoulder. The palm resting on Luo Chen’s shoulder transferred a stream of warm power into him, gradually calming down Luo Chen, whose spirit was on the verge of breaking.
"Luo Chen, stay calm. This is the Patrolling Celestial World, not the Dominion of Soil! The World Suppressing Stele hasn’t started devouring anything; rest assured!" Hearing Jue Luan’s voice, a hint of brightness returned to Luo Chen’s eyes. He looked up, somewhat fearfully, only to see the massive sun in the sky and no sign of the World Suppressing Stele.
But at that moment, Sun Wukong truly reached his critical point. After barely recalling the World Suppressing Stele, his skin immediately began to crack, and his veins and muscles throughout his body sent waves of intense, tearing pain.
Sun Wukong’s physical body was collapsing!
