Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 538: Three Sticks Propping Up the Sky (Fourth Update!)

"Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth!"

"Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens!"

The Tathagata Buddha brought out his true trump card, and Sun Wukong's clone was not content to sit and await doom. Although he was just a clone of the original, he had to buy enough time for the original, thus he must entangle the Tathagata Buddha for a while longer, he absolutely could not be so easily defeated!

He activated the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth and used Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens. Under the support of the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, Sun Wukong finally took the ninth step. His veins bulged throughout his body, and his physique seemed about to split open due to not being able to bear the immense pressure added by the Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens.

"Heaven-Breaking Three Sticks!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was as if three clones had split off from the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, and three giant golden iron rods, resembling heavenly pillars, slammed upward against the Tathagata Buddha's giant palm that covered the sky.

Three sticks support heaven!

The end of the golden iron rods collided with the giant palm that covered the sky; while the seemingly invincible palm stopped under the support of the three golden iron rods and did not continue to fall, the entire ground couldn't bear such an enormous force and the three golden iron rods sank into the depths of the earth.

Humm~!

A wave of power that could be described as destructive rippled outward in all directions, enveloping both Sun Wukong's clone and the Tathagata Buddha's hundred-thousand-zhang golden body within it.

"Does the Tathagata really want to fight to the death with that demon monkey?"

Following closely behind the Tathagata Buddha, Ran Deng Buddha, who had just arrived at the Sukhavati Realm, was hiding above the clouds, watching the battle between the Tathagata Buddha and Sun Wukong from afar. He too was astonished by Sun Wukong's cultivation strength. In just five hundred years, Sun Wukong had reached such a level, Slaying Three Corpses and being a Half-Step Saint, his combat power comparable to a Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint. If he were to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint, then who within the Three Realms would be able to control him?

The determination of the Tathagata Buddha was very clear in Ran Deng Buddha's heart. He too wanted to quickly eliminate Sun Wukong. Therefore, the Tathagata Buddha spared no efforts to use the huge amount of Merit and Destiny from the Immeasurable Buddha Nation to urge the ultimate move, Buddha Heart Strike, against Sun Wukong. Ran Deng Buddha greatly approved of this, but what he did not expect was that Sun Wukong could actually withstand it!

The demon monkey, in this moment, unleashed a power that was in no way inferior to the Tathagata Buddha!

This clash of ultimate moves made the outcome hard to predict!

"Humm~!"

Another surge of powerful energy fluctuated, but it did not come from the battlefield ahead; rather, it originated from the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation at the Nine Peaks.

Ran Deng Buddha's brows furrowed. Could it be that there were others within the Sukhavati Realm?

This won't do, I must go and see! The threat of Sun Wukong was far less than that of Amitabha, and if Amitabha were to be freed, it would be a destruction-level calamity for the Buddhist Sect!

Riding a cloud, Ran Deng Buddha flew towards the Nine Peaks.

Just as he had left, a red streak of light emerged from the ground and condensed into the figure of a handsome man. He had two demon markings on his cheeks, a characteristic of naturally-elemental, incarnated demon spirits.

"Sun Wukong, eh? I feel like I should help him!"

The man in red murmured to himself before his eyes shifted, and his figure flickered, transforming into a red light to continue the chase after the Ran Deng Buddha.

Atop the canyon in the land of the nine peaks, Sun Wukong's eyes shot out a brilliant golden light, illuminating the last Stellar Aura Chain. The veins on his forehead bulged as his body trembled slightly, clearly pushing his strength to the limit.

The combination of Void-Breaking Starry Eyes and Chaos Primordial Force could indeed break the chains formed by the Stellar Spiritual Qi, but the toll it took on Sun Wukong was equally immense. When he had previously assisted the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan in escaping from the Stellar Aura Chains, he had dissolved them one by one, and it took an unknowable amount of time to completely free him.

But now, Sun Wukong had no choice but to fully exert himself, depleting his own strength. The Tathagata Buddha was in the midst of a fierce battle with a clone, and it was uncertain how long he could hold out. After all, this was the Sukhavati Realm, the foundation of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect's small world. Not only was there the Tathagata Buddha, a Heavenly Dao Saint here, but also the Ran Deng Buddha and other powerful figures from the Buddhist Sect. If they discovered him liberating Amitabha, numerous masters from the Buddhist Sect would inevitably come swarming in to attack him!

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong felt an intense surge of energy, as if his internal organs had been struck by lightning, causing him to involuntarily spew a mouthful of blood and nearly fall from the sky.

"Wukong, my friend, what has happened to you?"

Amitabha was startled as he saw that the Stellar Aura Chains were about to be undone. If something happened to Sun Wukong at this juncture, all their efforts would be in vain!

"I, Old Sun, am fine!"

Sun Wukong struggled to stabilize his wavering body, activating the energy storage effect of the Chaos Divine Pearl to replenish the strength his body had expended. This steadied his trembling; fortunately, the Chaos Divine Pearl could supplement his energy, otherwise, he would have already plummeted down!

The clone had died!

Sun Wukong had sensed it; during the exchange of ultimate moves with the Tathagata Buddha just moments ago, the clone could not withstand the assault and perished, its body shattering apart. As a result of the connection between the clone and himself, Sun Wukong himself had also sustained severe injuries. With his strength nearly exhausted, the fact that he could still invoke the energy storage effect of the Chaos Divine Pearl without immediately losing consciousness was a testament to Sun Wukong's remarkable willpower!

Although the Chaos Divine Pearl could replenish the body's energy expenditure, it could not heal the injured body to its original state. As a being of Chaos, Sun Wukong had an astonishing recovery ability, but that too required time!

And time was precisely what he lacked most at the moment!

Whoosh!

A figure flew into the canyon, revealing the shocked appearance of the Ran Deng Buddha, who widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Sun Wukong, it's you? What are you doing here?"

"Not good! The one fighting with the Buddha is a clone!"

No sooner had he spoken than Sun Wukong immediately realized—it must have been a clone created by his Cloning Divine Powers that was battling the Tathagata Buddha!

This wasn't the first time the Ran Deng Buddha had seen Sun Wukong's Cloning Divine Powers. The combat power of the clones was nearly indistinguishable from the original. It was clear without thinking that Sun Wukong must have intentionally used a clone to draw the Tathagata Buddha away with the intent to break the Stellar Aura Chains and rescue Amitabha!

"Damn it!"

The face of the Ran Deng Buddha darkened instantly, for he saw there was only one Stellar Aura Chain left on Amitabha!

Once this final Stellar Aura Chain was broken, Amitabha would be freed from his bonds, leading to a cataclysmic disaster for the Buddhist Sect!
