Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1105 - 331: Monkey’s Delight
No matter whether the so-called "the aura of Emperor Jade" is true or false, Sun Wukong had already detected the presence of the Heavenly Monarch.
As for this uninvited guest, Sun Wukong's reaction was very straightforward.
"Since you've come, let me give you a taste of my Jingu Bang."
As soon as he spoke, the monkey sitting on the big rock sprang up, extending his Jingu Bang hundreds of feet, sweeping horizontally in mid-air.
The space couldn't withstand the heavy pressure of the Jingu Bang, and with one horizontal sweep, it showed distinct ripples and then shattered, transforming into the four anomalies of earth, water, wind, and fire. The Heavenly Monarch, who was united with the space, was forced to reveal his form.
In mid-air, the Heavenly Realm appeared, with a flash of a Heavenly Palace Illusion passing by inside, finally settling on the vertical eye on a boat-shaped figure. Bright as electricity, the light emitted from the vertical eye seemed like eyelashes yet carried an irresistible aura.
"Boom!"
In the sky, dazzling light flickered as the Jingu Bang struck it, with earth, water, wind, and fire all colliding, causing the space to collapse and create rolling tides. However, it didn't damage the seemingly phantom-like Heavenly Realm.
Sun Wukong's strike was so easily blocked.
Yet the monkey didn't show a hint of anger; instead, he laughed heartily: "Indeed, it is the skill of Emperor Jade. Seems like you've understood his Dao Fruit quite well, being able to create your own method from it."
The Jade Emperor rules over the Three Realms, Ten Directions, Four Lives, Six Paths, and has the ability to enlighten Ten Thousand Heavens, specializing in the Path of Yukong.
Others might not see the connection between the Heavenly Monarch's foundation and the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit, but Sun Wukong, an old monkey before the End of Dharma, wouldn't overlook it. Especially this time, the Heavenly Monarch revealed his Yellow Heaven's Form. If he couldn't see it now, his Fire Eyes Golden Eyes would be wasted.
"You young one indeed brings me joy. Back then I didn't cross swords with Emperor Jade, now you in his stead will suffice."
Sun Wukong laughed out loud, shaking his Jingu Bang, and was about to attack again.
But after blocking this strike, the Heavenly Monarch knew he couldn't avoid exchanging a few blows with the monkey today, and promptly retaliated.
He merged with the surrounding world, and with a thought, countless assaults appeared from all directions, resembling punches and palms, knife cuts, axe chops, or simply great strength crushing down. Space oscillated, birthing Invisible Power, attacking Sun Wukong in various forms.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong didn't withdraw his Jingu Bang, rapidly enlarged in size, reaching a hundred feet, then a thousand feet, as if intending to break the heavens and earth.
Indeed, that was the case.
Space was forcefully expanded by the Fatian Xiangdi technique, breaking the surrounding realm governed by the Heavenly Monarch.
The Jingu Bang in the giant ape's hand, like a Wind and Fire Wheel, spun frantically, hundreds of sparks erupted, all blocked by the Jingu Bang.
Despite possessing the Vajra Unbreakable Body and Buddha Body, Sun Wukong didn't intend to take the attacks head-on. It's habitually the best swimmers who drown; if one relies on physical strength and casually endures attacks, sooner or later death will follow from such negligence.
Before the End of Dharma, this was true, and after the End of Dharma...
After witnessing Jiang's Taixu Qi, Sun Wukong also dared not underestimate the current world.
The slaughter from all directions was blocked, the giant ape swung the staff, struck down hard, forcing the space to distort, directly crashing down on the Heavenly Realm.
Ferocious, domineering, fiercely intense, the Jingu Bang contained the weight of a star, crushing space while forcibly attracting surrounding existence with Invisible Gravity.
It looked like the enemy was willingly drawn towards the Jingu Bang.
Extreme weight paired with unmatched strength created the scene of overpowering everything with sheer force.
The powerful gravity even captivated the Heavenly Realm, leaving no escape from this blow.
Within the Heavenly Realm, the vertical eye revealed a change, a figure flew out from it, merged with the Heavenly Realm, transforming the entire realm into a human shape, using arms to block this attack.
"Boom boom boom boom boom—"
The sound of violent impact echoed like thunder, stirring heavily. Within the human-shaped Heavenly Realm, space vibrated, one layer after another emerged and spread outward, casting continuous waves, dissipating in all directions.
The tremendously heavy strike from Sun Wukong was diffused entirely throughout the Heavenly Realm and even the surrounding sky dome for a thousand miles, neutralizing power sufficient to shatter the third grade.
In exchange, storm clouds rolled in, the earth shook, with the hidden signs of dragons turning.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Realm transformed into a human form, contracted swiftly, disappearing instantly, leaving the Jingu Bang to directly strike the earth.
Gone?
"Trying to fool me!"
The giant ape sneered coldly, turning his form which also vanished, leaving only a ray of light streaking swiftly down from the sky dome.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound emerged before the Map of Mountains and Rivers, as the ray collided with a mote of dust, faintly revealing two small figures engaged in combat under the display of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Heavenly Monarch had rapidly transformed from large form to dust, targeting his true target—the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
However, Sun Wukong, with his Fire Eyes Golden Eyes and Six Ears, informed of everything above and below, thwarted the Heavenly Monarch's attempt.
Within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, light and a small shadow streaked and interwove, engaging in fast clashes, with occasional small collision sounds, yet causing space to tremor, even forming web-like cracks around.
"Good good good, truly excellent, let's continue, continue."
Sun Wukong's delighted voice echoed before the Map of Mountains and Rivers, followed by—
"Great General Meeting Divine Skill."
A loud shout sounded, lights multiplied, countless monkeys appeared before the Map of Mountains and Rivers, countless Jingu Bangs showered down.
Sun Wukong was evidently exhilarated by the battle, utilizing his Divine Skills, intending to have a joyful fight with the Heavenly Monarch.
Facing this overwhelming offensive, the Heavenly Monarch remained unafraid, Yellow Emperor's Four Faces unveiled, receiving each and every strike.
"Crack—"
The web-like cracks expanded to their limit, then the space shattered like a mirror, spreading lines directly impacting the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
"Buzz—"
The scroll vibrated, an immense force spread, and the land and mountains within the map all changed, suggesting signs of materialization, with an immensely heavy force descending, crashing into the shattered space.
"Bang!"
The clash of forces caused a thunderous roar, a dust-sized shadow retreated and flickered into a normal-sized figure, with its eyes turning to the Map of Mountains and Rivers, catching a glimpse of the winding Dragon Shadow beneath the mountains.
'The Great Venerable is indeed suppressed, and it also involves part of Jiang Li's power...'
The thought flashed instantly as the Heavenly Monarch's figure rapidly faded and disappeared from the original spot.
Meanwhile, the fallout from the collision belatedly swept across.
"What a nuisance, encountered a runaway."
The thousands of monkeys flew out, merging into one, transforming into a normal-sized monkey, shouting "What a nuisance," while his Fire Eyes Golden Eyes sparkled with golden light.
It's unmistakable, that was the aura actively emitted by the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit.
