Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 478 - : Old Sun Refuses (3rd Update!)
Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Old Sun Refuses (3rd Update!)
“This time, the Demon Monkey should be doomed!”
Watching as the all-encompassing attack completely submerged Sun Wukong’s form, the faces of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Tathagata Buddha revealed a trace of relieved smiles. Under the united attack of those two great saints, even if Sun Wukong were defiant of nature, he should be thoroughly dead, right?
However, this smile lasted less than the duration of a breath. Suddenly, the assault which had been bombarding Sun Wukong rebounded, the Swastika Buddha Seal struck towards Tathagata Buddha, and the Heaven-Opening Qi Blade and Creation Mysterious Light blasted towards the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
“What?”
“How is this possible?”
Tathagata Buddha and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were caught completely off guard. In their haste to defend, these assaults, which they had unleashed in their fury, were not so easily countered. For a moment, they appeared utterly disarrayed. Tathagata Buddha’s golden kasaya was completely shattered by the Swastika Buddha Seal, leaving his upper body bare, marked with trails of blue and purple mixed wounds.
...
As for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he was even more disheveled. Although the celestial celebrating clouds blocked most of the attacks, his head ornament was still struck by the Creation Mysterious Light, smashed utterly, his long hair disheveled and spreading messily. Where was there any semblance of the supreme dignity of the Primordial Heavenly, the only honored supreme of the Chan Sect!
Being struck by their own attacks, Tathagata Buddha and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were nearly bursting with rage, having never encountered such a situation before. What exactly had the Demon Monkey, Sun Wukong, done?
Once the blinding dust had settled, Sun Wukong’s form appeared, completely unharmed!
Tathagata Buddha and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable could not help but turn pale simultaneously. This was something that simply should not have occurred. Sun Wukong had actually managed to block their combined attacks and remained completely unharmed. This, if spoken out loud, might hardly be believed, yet it had happened indeed!
Not only that, Sun Wukong had also rebounded their respective attacks. What exactly had the Demon Monkey done?
“Chaos Divine Pearl!”
A legend abruptly flashed through the mind of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and his expression dramatically changed as he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, “This Demon Monkey has a Chaos Divine Pearl!”
“What is the Chaos Divine Pearl?”
Compared with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Tathagata Buddha was less familiar with the treasures of the Zhou Tian world, having never heard of anything like the Chaos Divine Pearl.
“The Chaos Divine Pearl is a treasure born from Chaos at the dawn of creation, thereafter splitting into nine, each transforming into a superior grade innate spiritual treasure, each possessing a marvelously unique ability among which include ethereal, absolute law, and rebound effects. This Demon Monkey definitely has a Chaos Divine Pearl; just now it was the rebound effect of the Chaos Divine Pearl!”
The face of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable displayed an uncontrollable greed, “Unexpectedly, this mere Demon Monkey carries such a supreme treasure as the Chaos Divine Pearl. If I could obtain it… No, this Chaos Divine Pearl must belong to me!”
Tathagata Buddha’s eyes also flashed with a greed similar to that, faced with such a supreme treasure, who could remain unmoved?
If Sun Wukong, possessing the Chaos Divine Pearl, could rebound their combined attacks, if they gained control over it, the power they could wield would absolutely exceed Sun Wukong’s, ensuring an unbeaten stance in the imminent great cataclysmic Saint War!
The more he thought, the itchier his heart felt, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable took the lead with a loud shout, grasping the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and charging at Sun Wukong, “Demon Monkey, today I shall not spare you, meet your doom!”
Facing the bombarding of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Sun Wukong did not dare be the slightest bit careless, focused utterly as he wielded the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in defense. After blocking a couple of strikes, the mighty mana from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable imbued in the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi numbed his hands, almost making him unable to hold the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod steady. In terms of combat power, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a veteran among the Three Purities, was indeed much stronger than Tathagata Buddha.
“Lad, hand over the Chaos Divine Pearl to me, and I will spare your life, ensuring you leave this place safely. What do you say?”
Suddenly, a voice filled with endless greed echoed in Sun Wukong’s ears. It was none other than the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
“The Chaos Divine Pearl? How do you know about the Chaos Divine Pearl?”
Sun Wukong felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
“Never mind how I know. Just hand over the Chaos Divine Pearl, and I will spare your life. This is your only chance. You better think it over!”
The words of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were laden with threats. Sun Wukong, however, scoffed disdainfully. Handing over the Chaos Divine Pearl in exchange for his life? He wasn’t buying it.
If he really did hand over the Chaos Divine Pearl, the attacks from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable would only become more ferocious. He would never keep his promise to spare him, let alone ensure his departure. Don’t ask how Sun Wukong could be so certain. It was his intuition, always eerily accurate and never mistaken!
“I, Old Sun, refuse!”
Sun Wukong didn’t hesitate to refuse the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. “Not to mention that I, Old Sun, do not even know what the Chaos Divine Pearl is, even if it did exist, I wouldn’t hand it over to someone like you! Go have your pipe dreams!”
“Heaven-Breaking Eighteen Rods!”
Seizing the opportunity while the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was negotiating and Tathagata Buddha, who was standing aside had not joined the attack, Sun Wukong had been quietly accumulating strength. No sooner had he finished speaking than he flicked his wrist and unleashed the Heaven-Breaking Eighteen Rods. A huge shadow of the rod thundered towards the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, completely engulfing his figure.
“Go!”
Having struck with his rod, Sun Wukong didn’t even look to see the outcome. He dashed towards Zi Lan Fairy, grabbed her slender waist, and transformed into a streak of golden light, rushing towards the Heavenly Ladder. The Southern Heavenly Gate was now undoubtedly impregnable. Sun Wukong had to pin his hopes on the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and the Leader of Tongtian, heading for the Doushui Palace and the Greenwave Palace to try his luck, hoping that these two would help him based on their past friendship.
“Amitabha! Sun Wukong, where do you think you are going?”
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to dare attack him under such circumstances. Caught off-guard, he hastily swung the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to defend himself, unable to free his hands to chase after Sun Wukong. Just as Sun Wukong was about to reach the Heavenly Ladder, a giant golden hand descended from above, smacking towards him and Zi Lan Fairy, blocking their path.
It was none other than Tathagata Buddha, who had been coldly observing from the side!
“Tathagata, do you also desire the Chaos Divine Pearl?”

Sun Wukong clenched his teeth and swung the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod at the golden hand while pushing Zi Lan Fairy away. “Go quickly, head to the Doushui Palace. The Elderly Lord will protect you completely!”
“The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord?”
Tathagata Buddha was taken aback. He initially stretched out his hand to stop Zi Lan Fairy but hesitated and then withdrew it. After all, Zi Lan Fairy was the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. Using her to lure Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court was enough. There was no need to take her life!
What he wanted to keep was, from beginning to end, only this demon monkey, Sun Wukong!
