Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 480 - : Demonic Possession, Trials of the Heart (Fifth Update!)
Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Demonic Possession, Trials of the Heart (Fifth Update!)
Demonic possession is a great taboo for cultivators. Unlike members of the Demon Race who absorb Demon Spirit Qi for cultivation, people who fall into demonic possession usually suffer a great blow to their equanimity, allowing the heart demon to invade. In plain terms, it is the burning of one’s Origin Power, which unleashes strength far beyond one’s current Cultivation Realm in a short period of time.
But the ultimate outcome is dire, at best resulting in a complete loss of sanity, plunging into the Demonic Path of slaughter without hope of redemption; at worst leading to death and extinction, with one’s lifelong cultivation vanishing like water downstream.
Sun Wukong had already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm of Slaying Two Corpses. He should have experienced the tribulation of heart demons long ago, making his current fall into demonic possession an incredibly inconceivable event in the eyes of Tathagata Buddha.
“Emotional tribulation!”
Tathagata Buddha slightly narrowed his eyes. Once trapped in an emotional tribulation, even those with the most steadfast minds will ultimately find their cultivation completely ruined. This Sun Wukong, he’s finished and no longer a threat!
Sun Wukong felt an unprecedented sense of calmness in his mind at this moment, filled only with boundless hatred and icy killing intent.
...
Whoosh!
In a flash, Sun Wukong instantly appeared beside Luo Bai.

“Luo Bai, lend me the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!”
His voice lacked any fluctuation, appearing rather plain, yet it contained a hint of undeniable authority.
“Okay!”
Luo Bai’s heart tightened. He had never seen Sun Wukong in such a state before. At this moment, Sun Wukong exuded a chilling coldness that could send shivers down one’s spine.
Luo Bai took out the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram and handed them to Sun Wukong with a heavy heart, “Brother Monkey, you must hold on!”
“Old Sun is fine!”
Sun Wukong looked at Luo Bai, his lips curling slightly, then turned to Tathagata Buddha, “Before I avenge Zi Lan, Old Sun won’t falter!”
“The Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying! This is bad!”
In a blur, Sun Wukong had vanished and reappeared beside Luo Bai on the Heavenly Ladder. The moment Tathagata Buddha saw Luo Bai hand the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram over to Sun Wukong, his pupils shrank suddenly.
He had already experienced the formidable nature of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in the hands of Sun Wukong. That Sword Intent filled with the Path of Slaughter that could split Chaos and recreate the heavens and the earth, even the Heavenly Dao Saint had to give way three steps. Although it was the third time during the limitless tribulation period and the Three Realms Space could bear much more, allowing him to exert his full strength, he still did not have much of a chance against the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
After all, this was the first Killing Formation of the Ancient Primeval, famed to be breakable only when the four Saints joined forces!
He had to kill Sun Wukong before the Great Formation was activated!
In the split second of lightning and flint, Tathagata Buddha made his decision. His figure flashed, directly crossing space to rush towards Sun Wukong. Buddha’s Light flashed on his right palm as he fiercely slapped towards Sun Wukong’s forehead. This time he did not accumulate energy to use the Tathagata Palm; instead, he directly infused it with the Supreme Mana of the Heavenly Dao Saint to attack Sun Wukong.
Truth be told, aside from the momentum and range, the might of the Tathagata Palm truly paled in comparison to a close-quarters palming force. Tathagata Buddha was confident that if this palm landed squarely, no matter how resilient Sun Wukong was, he would definitely be struck brain-dead with his soul shattered!
“Immortal-Slaying, Formation activate!”
Facing the ferocious palm strike of Tathagata Buddha, Sun Wukong acted as though he hadn’t noticed at all. He made no attempt to dodge, his gaze coldly locked on the Buddha’s approaching hand while he softly uttered four words.
Boom!
Soaring Sword Qi rose to the heavens, and within the Sword Array, Sun Wukong’s form disappeared. The peerless Sword Qi brutally struck Tathagata Buddha, blasting him towards the vault of the sky.
“Damnation!”
Tathagata Buddha blocked with both hands in front of him, unleashing a fierce tremor. Majestic Buddha’s Light burst forth from his body, dispersing the incoming Sword Qi, his expression extremely solemn.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation had been activated by that demon monkey, Sun Wukong, after all. This was going to be troublesome!
“Sun Wukong, do you think the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation will let you escape unscathed?”
Sword qi surged wildly in every direction, completely isolating the surrounding space. At this moment, Tathagata Buddha was enveloped by the spatial domain of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, with nothing but sword qi penetrating his line of sight.
Unlike the last time Sun Wukong had activated the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the sword qi this time was much sharper, and the oppressive force was much stronger!
Was this demon monkey really determined to fight to the death with him?
“Kill!”
Faced with Tathagata Buddha’s challenge, Wukong’s state of mind didn’t waver in the slightest, filled only with a cold intent to kill. Within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, he was the master, able to control the continuous movement of the Formation Eye. Tathagata Buddha couldn’t find where he was, let alone lock onto him.
With a thought, he swept his palm, and the Heavenly Dao Sword Qi that had been swimming around suddenly, like fish, all turned and shot towards Tathagata Buddha.
“Slay!”
Streams of Heavenly Dao Slaughter Sword Qi bombarded Tathagata Buddha’s body, clanging against his golden body. Tathagata Buddha was compelled to muster up protective golden light, separating himself from the sword qi. Feeling the heavy bombardment of countless sword qi on the protective golden light and the resounding heavy booms, his heart sank.
To attack with the full force of the Sword Array right from the start indicated an unprecedented level of killing intent from Sun Wukong. Such disregard for the depletion of his own strength, was this demon monkey resolved to avenge Zi Lan Fairy even at the cost of his own utter destruction?
Damn it!
“Sword qi, merge!”
Sun Wukong was not a sword cultivator, and his grasp of the Sword Array was not particularly profound. He was now completely overtaxing his own life force to forcibly activate the Sword Array, merging the sword qi emitted by the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying into solid-like Slaying Swords materializing within the Sword Array.
“Myriad Swords Immortal-Slaying!”
Boom!
Countless Slaying Swords, condensed from all directions, surged toward Tathagata Buddha, piercing viciously into his protective golden light, accompanied by a grating sound of friction and sparks. Tathagata Buddha’s complexion changed.
His protective golden light was failing to withstand these Slaying Swords, and it was on the verge of being pierced through!
What kind of sword qi was this, to possess such immense power?
“With my essence blood, I summon the Sword Spirit! Immortal-Slaying!”
Standing at the center of the Formation Eye, Sun Wukong bit his finger, drawing out Dao patterns with his essence blood. The Dao patterns drawn with essence blood merged into the Sword Array, and the Slaying Swords within the Sword Array gradually took on hints of gold.
The power surged massively!
The destructive force of each Slaying Sword he had gathered increased manifold, instantly penetrating Tathagata Buddha’s protective golden light and stabbing towards the Buddha himself.
“Undying Golden Body!”
Tathagata Buddha’s expression changed drastically. Not daring to hold back any longer, he gritted his teeth and activated his Undying Golden Body. In an instant, his body grew to an immense size, radiating Buddha’s Light, and he sat upon a gigantic nine-tiered Merit Golden Lotus.
Pupupupu!
Each Slaying Sword stabbed into the vast golden body as if piercing with needles.
