Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 334 - Eastern Emperor Taiyi (First Update)
Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Eastern Emperor Taiyi (First Update)
In the secret space where the Donghuang Bell resides, the air is filled with a thick aura of Immortal Spirit Qi, vastly different from that of the Demonic Realm. Yet beyond that, to the naked eye, it appears completely empty, with not even a hint of the Donghuang Bell’s presence.
Of course, that’s only what meets the unaided eye. Sun Wukong has kept his Void-Breaking Divine Eye activated all this time. Even though he hasn’t pushed it to the Fourth Phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, he can still make out the faint outline of the Donghuang Bell floating in the heart of the secret space, just thirty feet above the ground.
Wisps of Chaos fog weave around the Donghuang Bell, and strands of Immortal Spirit Qi continuously gush forth from it. This scene alone reveals the extraordinary nature of the Donghuang Bell, causing Sun Wukong’s eyes to sparkle with greed as he darts towards it.
As if sensing an outsider approaching, the Donghuang Bell suddenly emits a chime on its own. Rings of visible sound waves ripple out from the bell in all directions, striking Sun Wukong.
“Ugh!”
A muffled grunt escapes Sun Wukong as if struck by lightning, feeling his head spin violently and nearly tumbling from mid-air. A look of alarm flashes through his eyes. That chime was merely an involuntary sound from the Donghuang Bell, and yet it was so terrifying. It was hard to imagine how fearsome a chime would be when actively wielded by the bell’s master, sending shivers at the mere thought!
“I must get my hands on this Donghuang Bell!”
A determined sparkle flashes in Sun Wukong’s eyes as he continues flying towards the Donghuang Bell. Chaos Primordial Force rapidly circulates within his body, forming a protective shield tight against his skin in case the bell initiates another sound wave attack.

“Dong!”
As he draws closer to the Donghuang Bell, it chimes once again. This time, Sun Wukong is prepared. The sound waves batter against his protective shield and are repelled by the Chaos Primordial Force Shield, leaving him unaffected. However, this was only an involuntary sound from the bell. Should someone like Eastern Emperor Taiyi wield the Donghuang Bell, the power would undoubtedly be infinitely greater!
“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!”
With a thought, Sun Wukong elevates his Void-Breaking Divine Eye to the Fourth Phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, and peers at the Donghuang Bell. This time, the Donghuang Bell is no longer just a faint outline; it becomes clear, and the Dao Patterns engraved upon it are revealed in meticulous detail, all caught by Sun Wukong’s gaze. At the very top of the bell, there also appears a point of light flickering with nine-colored Divine Light.
That’s the very spirit of the Donghuang Bell, the crux of claiming it. One must integrate their own Lifeblood Essence into it, gaining the Artifact Spirit’s acknowledgement to possibly secure this Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Sun Wukong flies to the top of the Donghuang Bell. With a flip, his head points down and his feet up as he sits in a reversed meditative pose, hands forming a seal. A thread of golden Essence Blood trickles from his brow, seeping towards the nine-colored spot on the Donghuang Bell.
The moment his Lifeblood Essence touches the nine-colored light, the Donghuang Bell lets out an intense chime, booming thunderously with rings of sound waves rolling out in all directions—infinitely more powerful than the previous two waves. Sun Wukong, who is directly in their path, is engulfed by the sound waves. Suddenly, his vision darkens, and then he finds the scenery around him has changed. He is amidst a cosmic nebula, surrounded by darkness and chaos everywhere, with only faint starlight beaming from afar.
“Where is this place?”
Sun Wukong is slightly bewildered. Wasn’t he just trying to claim the Donghuang Bell? How did he suddenly end up here?
“After so many years, finally a descendant of the Demon Clan has entered this spirit space of the Donghuang Bell. Good, very good!”
The sudden, heartfelt voice startles Sun Wukong. He turns to look in the direction of the voice and sees a striking man dressed in a golden robe and wearing an emperor’s crown standing two yards away in the void. He observes Sun Wukong with a smile, a subtle aura of authority emanating from him. It isn’t overt, but it makes Sun Wukong’s heart quiver.
“You are… Eastern Emperor Taiyi?”
Sun Wukong detects a scent that feels incredibly familiar coming from the man—a whiff of the Heavenly Demon Body’s aura—albeit very faint. Had he not evolved from the Heavenly Demon Body himself, he would not have noticed it. From the Primeval Era up to now, there have been only four beings with the Heavenly Demon Body in the Three Realms, other than Sun Wukong himself: Goddess Nuwa, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. With the Donghuang Bell being Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s personal Supreme Treasure, the man in the golden robe before him must surely be the ancient Demon Clan’s great Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
“Indeed, it is I!”
Eastern Emperor Taiyi nods, confirming, “No need to be surprised. This is the spirit space of the Donghuang Bell, and I am merely a Divine Soul Mark left by the true self, awaiting the Donghuang Bell’s next rightful owner. It’s been countless years.”
Divine Soul Mark of Eastern Emperor Taiyi? Wasn’t he said to have perished in the Primordial Ancient Times?
“Indeed, the true self perished long ago. This is merely a Divine Soul Mark, left within the Donghuang Bell, awaiting a member of the Demon Clan destined for it.”
As if seeing through Sun Wukong’s thoughts, Eastern Emperor Taiyi speaks with a gentle smile, then his expression turns somewhat wistful, “Heavenly Dao has decreed the decline of the Demon Clan and the rise of the Human Race. Yet I, Taiyi, have chosen to defy the heavens! Even if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of generations, our Demon Clan will never surrender!”
The last two sentences were almost roared out by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and his entire being was filled with an overwhelming aura, carrying a terrifying majesty as if he could crush the starry river. Sun Wukong’s vision swam with dizziness; the mere power of a Divine Soul Mark wielded such might, which could only make one imagine how utterly dominant Eastern Emperor Taiyi was back then!
“Little guy, let’s see what kind of physique you have. To have entered this place, your physique must not be subpar!”
A light sphere emerged from the palm of Eastern Emperor Taiyi and flew toward Sun Wukong, transforming into a beam of light that pressed onto Sun Wukong’s forehead.
Suddenly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Sun Wukong. The next moment, his figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Sun Wukong, reaching out a finger to press on Sun Wukong’s forehead.
Sun Wukong instinctively lifted his hand to resist, but stopped halfway. Eastern Emperor Taiyi held no killing intent; he probably had recognized the physique of Sun Wukong’s Chaotic Divine Body!
Indeed, the shock in Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s eyes grew stronger as he gazed at Sun Wukong with flashing brilliance in his look: “A Chaotic Divine Body! It’s actually a Chaotic Divine Body! You have obtained such a legendary physique!”
After the initial shock, a wild joy spread across Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face, and he burst into uproarious laughter: “Heaven blesses the Demon Clan! Heaven blesses the Demon Clan ah! The fortunes of our Demon Clan are finally turning!”
Watching Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s frenzied laughter, Sun Wukong felt not a hint of joy in his heart but rather a faint sense of melancholy. Ever since the fall of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, the Demon Clan had been suppressed for far too long, suffering endless tribulations!
After a long while, Eastern Emperor Taiyi finally ceased laughing and refocused his gaze onto Sun Wukong as if an elder were looking at his nephew.
“What is your name?”
“Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong!”
“Great Sage Equaling Heaven? Good! What a domineering name!”
The more Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at Sun Wukong, the more satisfied he became, “Wukong, you’ve acquired Goddess Nuwa’s Essence Blood, correct? There must also be the Ancestral Witch’s Essence Blood; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to evolve from a Heavenly Demon Body to a Chaotic Divine Body!”
A sharp glint flashed through Sun Wukong’s eyes as a chill went down his spine—Eastern Emperor Taiyi, indeed, was one of the two great saints of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. Such discerning insight truly was not that of an ordinary being!
“Taiyi Senior has sharp eyes indeed. I was indeed born after my mother’s Lifeblood Essence fused with the Heaven-Mending Stone. Later, in the Netherworld, Goddess Houtu granted me her Ancestral Witch’s Essence Blood,” Sun Wukong replied with a smile, for there was nothing left to hide since Eastern Emperor Taiyi had already seen through everything. Although only a wisp of Divine Soul Mark of the ancient saint remained in the Donghuang Bell, an ancient saint was still an ancient saint, with experience and abilities that were top-notch. An instinct told Sun Wukong that he would gain substantial benefits from Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
“Exceptional talent, indeed exceptional talent! Good, very good!”
Eastern Emperor Taiyi praised, “Wukong, I have long since perished, with only this wisp of Divine Soul Mark remaining. I cannot aid you much, but there is one thing that I can help you obtain!”
“Is Senior Taiyi referring to this Donghuang Bell?” Sun Wukong guessed, raising an eyebrow.
“Correct! The Donghuang Bell is a Supreme Treasure cultivated with my life, also known as the Chaos Clock, having reached the level of a Superb Innate Spiritual Treasure. It’s versatile in both offense and defense, immensely powerful, and without my assistance, no one could truly refine and utilize it!” Eastern Emperor Taiyi proclaimed proudly, “Wukong, since you have arrived here, you are fated to this clock. The Chaotic Divine Body holds boundless potential and will not disgrace my Chaos Clock! Today, I will pass down to you the method for refining the Chaos Clock. From now on, you will be its new master. I hope you won’t disappoint me and will lead the Demon Clan to reclaim the glory of Ancient Times!”
Sun Wukong’s expression turned solemn as he bowed deeply to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, saying with a resounding voice, “I shall not fail your trust, Senior Taiyi. I will ensure the Demon Clan stands proudly among the Three Realms once again, never to be enslaved or bullied by anyone!”
“Good! With this, I can rest assured. This wisp of Divine Soul that holds the Divine Mark, I will also pass on to you!”
As he spoke, Eastern Emperor Taiyi placed his hand on Sun Wukong’s forehead. The method for refining the Donghuang Bell, along with its myriad functions and Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s own insights and comprehension of the Great Dao, were unrestrainedly infused into Sun Wukong’s mind. Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s figure grew increasingly ethereal and eventually turned into a Dao Mark, which merged into Sun Wukong’s forehead.
