That day, Wukong had encountered a formidable member of the Demon Tribe.
This person was also at the Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation level. As soon as they met, this individual felt somewhat nervous because Wukong’s fame had already spread far and wide, and he was currently very prominent, having embarrassed the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court several times. Thus, this person straightforwardly crushed the destiny atop his head with a slap, vanishing in a flash of blue light.
The shattered destiny was instantaneously absorbed by Wukong, and the destiny above his head grew even denser. He contemplated the Emperor’s Path Ranking, only to discover that he was still in first place, but there had been some changes in the rankings, with four people eliminated. Besides a few powerhouses, these were Taiyi Golden Immortals, but even among them, there were different levels of strength. That demon head he had just killed was also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet Wukong dispatched him in moments, and the demon head Shariputra he encountered in the coffin was even more formidable, possessing the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal, yet still was easily captured.
Wukong was lucky, but a person’s luck usually shouldn’t be too good, as extremely good luck often presages misfortune. Hence, Wukong was now smiling wryly because he had run into some bad luck, having encountered Bodhisattva Great Might Heavenly Dragon.
The Bodhisattva stood on a dragon elephant, hands pressed together in prayer, with the youthful appearance of a scholar, seeming frail but possessing a frightening strength, rumored to be able to shake Mount Sumeru.
Among the boundless Bodhisattvas, Ksitigarbha King is ranked first, followed by Great Might Heavenly Dragon and Guanyin among the few great Bodhisattvas…
“Amitabha Buddha, Sun Wukong, you have already amassed so much destiny. It seems that this poor monk has no choice but to make a move!” Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva spread his hands wide, his muscles and skin beginning to swell.
Having no choice, Wukong picked up his Buddha Beating Staff and took out the Green Lotus, positioning it above his head. Without this Green Lotus, Great Might Heavenly Dragon could defeat him as easily as inspecting the pattern on his palm, for the gap between a Daluo Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal was no trivial matter.
Excellent Rebel Sage! Here’s a poem to prove it: “Green Qi coils around the halo crown, an eight-foot iron staff startles gods and demons. Snatching great destiny, vowing that all Buddhas lose souls.”
When the Buddha Beating Staff touched the ground, it made a “clang” sound, scattering stones everywhere.
Wukong swung his Buddha Beating Staff, unleashing several hundred strikes in the blink of an eye, each one hitting a shattered stone, immediately turning each stone into a dense rain-like barrage enveloping Great Might Heavenly Dragon! However, Great Might Heavenly Dragon stood firm atop the dragon elephant, chanting a Buddhist hymn and growing eight heads and sixteen arms, each arm wielding either a Demon-Subduing Pestle, banners, Sarira, demon-avoiding shuttle, heavenly umbrella, scriptures, flower vase, silver spear, iron sword…
All sixteen arms shook simultaneously, wielding their Magical Treasures and reducing the stones to fine dust.
At that moment, Wukong, still wielding his Buddha Beating Staff, charged forward, bellowing as he manifested three heads and six arms, engaging in fierce combat with Great Might Heavenly Dragon!
How so? Here’s a poem to prove it: “Sixteen treasures each display their divine might, Buddha’s great staff flashing rainbow lights. Great Might Heavenly Dragon’s strength shakes Mount Sumeru, Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage challenges the Celestial Palace with his staff.”
Wukong, with his three heads and six arms, found it extremely difficult to match the sixteen armed Bodhisattva, each treasure strike stopping just inches from his head, blocked by the Chaos Qi and blue light of the Green Lotus, but Wukong also realized that the brilliance of the Green Lotus was dimming, and his mana was rapidly diminishing! After all, this was a Magical Treasure of the Green Emperor, not within his level, requiring a great deal of mana to activate.
The two clashed fiercely, sparks flying, Wukong’s arms already numb from the shaking power of Great Might Heavenly Dragon. When it came to brute strength, he was still inferior.
After feinting a move, Wukong flipped backwards, jumping out of the fray and suddenly lashed out with three streams of Seven-Colored Divine Light from the horsetail whisk!
Great Might Heavenly Dragon’s expression remained unchanged, collected his sixteen Magical Treasures, then every two arms formed a seal, the seal of the Immovable Ming King.
An Immovable King Dharma Body emerged, eyes wide in rage, wielding the Sword of Wisdom with three heads and eight arms, exhaling Karmic Fire.
This Karmic Fire was extremely fierce, with infinite karmic force, a touch could send one directly into reincarnation or even cause one’s Dao heart to be tainted with karmic force and turn into a demon, as demonstrated by Shariputra, the past incarnation of Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha. At that moment, Wukong was not negligent, the Seven-Colored Divine Light contending with the Karmic Fire, evenly matched.
But Great Might Heavenly Dragon’s mana was much stronger than his, and it was only a matter of time before he would be exhausted to death!
Great Might Heavenly Dragon had someone return to the Western Heaven to borrow some of Buddha Ancestor’s Sarira and some Magical Treasures. He was already known as the king of close combat, and now with these many treasures, even in a battle of spells and Magical Treasures, he would not fall behind!
Bodhisattva Guanyin was only good at spell battling, not close combat, thus when facing Six-Eared Macaque up close, after being forced by clone techniques, she had no techniques left and just had to endure the beating, unable to even recite the Tightening-Crown Spell. But Great Might Heavenly Dragon was different, close combat could break all laws, and from afar, he could contend with Magical Treasures.
Wukong activated his mana, performing the Sun Swallowing Moon Ejecting, a giant Golden Crow manifested in the void, wrapped in True Sunfire, flying straight towards Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva! Great Might Heavenly Dragon flipped his palm, and a Demon-Subduing Pestle appeared, thrown into the sky, instantly producing thousands of feet of Buddha’s Light, countless Sanskrit characters floating out, immobilizing the void, the Golden Crow Dharma Body unable to move under the pressure of the Sanskrit characters.
Wukong again cast the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal, manifesting the vastness of mountains and rivers and the profound heaviness of state affairs beyond doubt.
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon finally changed his expression!
As if a mountainous four-cornered stamp fell, it bore the scenery of mountains and rivers. This time, Wukong’s deployment was much more severe than the last few times, for he had drawn a painting in the cycle of reincarnation that captured the essence of both mountains and state affairs—the pathways of mountains and the pathways of governance! The power of the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal became unparalleled when he cast Primordial Three Thousand Transformations, drawing from the paths of mountains and governance. The pressure was so immense that even the voids crackled, as if on the brink of collapse.
With a soft chant, the Great Might Heavenly Dragon stabilized the Immovable Ming King Dharma Body, resisted the Seven-Colored Divine Light with Karmic Fire, and raised all sixteen arms to the sky, hoisting the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal.
“Boom!”
Successive loud noises resounded, deafening. As ‘mountains crumbled’ and ‘state affairs’ were excessively heavy—heavier even than Mount Sumeru—it was not just physical strength but the profundity of their meanings! Such an immensely heavy concept was not something ordinary beings could withstand; even the Great Might Heavenly Dragon suffered greatly under the heavy duality of ‘state affairs’, seeing the gold light wrapped around his sixteen arms extinguishing mostly in an instant, his skin split open, and blood spurted, his face flushed red.
How could the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal created by the brilliant and exceptional Di Jun be ordinary? If it were merely physical oppression, it might have been bearable, but this was a heaviness of concept!
“All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, illusion, bubble, shadow, like dew and also like lightning. Mountains and state affairs are also just illusions…” With a roar from the Great Might Heavenly Dragon, the dragon elephants under him roared as well, he released two arms and suddenly clenched his fists, hurling them directly towards the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal above!
“Bang, Bang!”
With two loud sounds, the mountains and rivers in the Great Seal dissipated, and the order of state affairs was disrupted. The immensely heavy concept of state affairs was shattered! The saying “A single force can break a myriad of laws” is not unfounded; did not Pangu once break myriad laws with a single force? The physical strength of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon had reached a terrifying level; with two punches, he even burst the conceptual essence of state affairs!
Wukong looked distressed, fiercely brushed aside the Ming King Karma Fire with a burst of Seven-Colored Divine Light, covering the sky and overwhelming the Karmic Fire. For a moment, the Great Might Heavenly Dragon’s eyes could barely discern anything clearly, and his Divine Sense could not make out any details.
Suddenly, from behind came a piercing “whoosh” sound, and a streak of golden light carrying a trace of bloodlust shot towards his Niwan Palace—it was a long-hidden, sudden arrow shot by the Heaven-Defying Taoist! The Heaven-Defying Taoist’s abilities matched Wukong’s, and with only the Sun-Shooting Bow and Arrow as his magical treasures, he realistically stood no chance against the Great Might Heavenly Dragon; hence, he could only resort to stealthy attacks.
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon felt his scalp explode as the arrow tore through the void with a piercing sound, a moment of life and death!
A Buddha Ancestor Sarira was summoned overhead, suspended behind his head, releasing a massive Sanskrit character—卍.
This character stayed there, forming a gigantic barrier; the Sun Shooting Arrow struck hard against it, unleashing a powerful air stream. The golden light and blood light created an intense standoff, at a deadlock!
Wukong circulated all his mana and unleashed the Seven-Colored Divine Light, prepared for the Heaven-Defying Taoist’s strike, yet it was unexpectedly blocked by the Great Might Heavenly Dragon! This Sarira was no ordinary object; it was borrowed from the Future Buddha Maitreya. Given the imbalance in mana between the Heaven-Defying Taoist and the Great Might Heavenly Dragon, it was normal for one arrow not to make it through.
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon scoffed and said, “Truly a meeting of minds, some days ago, Bodhisattva Guanyin suffered a great loss like this! I see this Heaven-Defying Taoist is no stranger, it’s your severing thought, isn’t it!”
With that, the Sarira vibrated, and the Sun Shooting Arrow fell to the ground. Annoyed, the Heaven-Defying Taoist drew three Sun Shooting Divine Arrows, stepped into a bow stance, the bowstring taut as a full moon, the three arrows trembling slightly, emitting endless murderous intent!
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon’s expression was also unsightly, fully summoning the Sarira, and withstanding the Seven-Colored Divine Light using the Immovable Ming King Dharma Body. Being attacked by both men, caught off guard, he was put on the defensive. If their magical treasures had been less powerful, he could have resisted and thrown a couple of punches to kill the Heaven-Defying Taoist.
However, the Heaven-Defying Taoist suddenly packed away his magical treasures and escaped with a somersault; similarly, Wukong also made his escape with a somersault.
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon, preparing to withstand the most fierce attack, never expected these two to bluff a grand posture only to somersault away! He scrambled to gather the sixteen magical treasures, the Buddha Ancestor Sarira, the Ming King Seal, and used Sprinting Earth Golden Light to pursue, but alas, how could he catch up? The Rebel Sage’s somersault took him eighty thousand miles away, leaving no trace. However, the Great Might Heavenly Dragon was not willing to let it go, chasing eleven thousand miles before he stopped, angrily punching the ground, causing the surface to tremble… This disturbance attracted a Demon Tribe powerhouse, whom the Great Might Heavenly Dragon quickly subdued after two moves, but this person swiftly shattered their lucky escape.
“Sun Wukong, you infuriate me too!” The Great Might Heavenly Dragon roared angrily, feeling played.
“Next time I see you, I will tear you apart!” The Great Might Heavenly Dragon cursed furiously in extreme irritation.
