It was a feeling that Chen Xuanzang had never experienced before. That feeling of fullness and power filled his entire body like a torrential flood.
His mind and body began to change crazily at that moment.
His mind transcended in the span of a breath. His physical body also transformed into a Buddha Golden Body in the span of a breath.
His vision had become more unique, and his realm had become more profound. Everything seemed completely different now.
"Is this power?"
"Yes!"
"But why don't I feel uncomfortable at all?"
"That's because this is power that belongs to you. You were a transcended being in your previous life, and he reincarnated into you. So, the power you have now belongs to you!"
"Hehehe!"
Chen Xuanzang laughed self-deprecatingly. So, this is what it feels like to have power. Buddhist principles and great love are all lies.
Only power is the only thing that belongs to me.
At that moment, Chen Xuanzang felt that he could crush a mountain and kill the Pig Demon with a wave of his hand. Even Sun Wukong was no longer an unreachable existence in front of him.
"This is my power!"
He clenched his fist, and immediately, golden Buddhist light exploded. The surrounding space let out a series of muffled sounds and became distorted.
"But, it's not enough. It's not enough!"
Chen Xuanzang muttered. He was still far from being able to defeat Sun Wukong and suppress him with his current power.
He needed more power, power that was invincible in the world.
"You need to wait because the power is changing your body. It will take time. After some time, when you have accepted all the power of your previous life, even Sun Wukong might not be your match!"
The soft voice in his heart reminded him.
After all, Chen Xuanzang had transformed from a mortal into an immortal-like existence in the span of a breath. That was already very unbelievable.
Although he was powerful in his previous life, he was just a mortal now. The transformation also needed time.
"But I can't wait!"
Chen Xuanzang said in a low voice, "I can't wait until then. I need more power now!"
As he said that, he looked into the distance. That was where his master and Sun Wukong were. At that moment, the two of them were about to meet and fight.
…
"Xuanzang?"
When the fat monk saw Chen Xuanzang's transformation in the distance, he turned pale with fright.
"You actually activated the power of your previous life. How is that possible? That's the seal of the power of reincarnation. Even I can't undo it? "
"What the hell is going on?"
Chen Xuanzang regained the power of his past life. This was not a good thing for him because immortals could not spread the great love of the world and spread the ideals of Buddhism.
Therefore, at the beginning of the Journey to the West, the Golden Cicada was arranged to enter the cycle of reincarnation and become a mortal, becoming Chen Xuanzang.
But now, everything was destroyed. Not only that, the power of reincarnation had also been unleashed. This was simply a blatant destruction.
"Who is it?"
The fat monk's eyes were filled with rage. At this moment, he wished he could chop the person behind this into pieces.
"There must be no mistakes in the Journey to the West plan, not even a small world's mistake!"
Once there was a lack of faith, the Buddhist Sect's plan would be for naught. Then, it was very likely that they would face a calamity.
"I forbid it!"
The fat monk looked on coldly. At the same time, he also saw Sun Wukong flying over.
"This evil creature .Right now, I'm just a thought. I might not be a match for it!"
As he said that, he gently waved his hand. The "300 Nursery Songs" that Sun Wukong had sent flying at the beginning appeared in his hand.
He gently tossed it. Immediately, a huge golden energy burst out and directly bound Sun Wukong within.
"Tathagata!"
Sun Wukong roared. He stared at the fat monk as if he wanted to eat him.
"It's been five hundred years. I've been suppressed by you for five hundred years. Now, you're just a clone. I'll kill you now, then go to the Western Paradise and wipe out your Buddhist Sect!"
"I want there to be no monks in this world from now on. I want Buddhism to be completely wiped out!"
He roared and threw a punch at the light screen.
The light screen trembled and let out an earth-shattering explosion. However, it stubbornly resisted and was not damaged at all.
"Immortal Indestructible Body!"
Sun Wukong roared. His body became like a mountain in a breath. The next moment, a huge golden ape appeared in the sky.
The huge ape roared and opened its bloody mouth!
He punched!
Like an atomic bomb, the power that erupted from the scripture was directly destroyed. The rumbling sound shook the heavens and the earth.
"Demon Monkey, I don't have time to deal with you now!"
The fat monk snorted coldly. Immediately, he pointed at a huge mountain in the distance. With a rumbling sound, the mountain suddenly stood up. When one opened their eyes, it turned out to be a huge stone Buddha.
The stone Buddha was mighty. It was like heaven and earth. It was not weaker than the huge ape.
The fat monk pointed again and the stone Buddha was covered with a layer of golden light. It was like a piece of gold-plated glass.
The golden stone Buddha stood between heaven and earth. It raised its palm and directly attacked the huge ape that Sun Wukong had transformed into.
The huge ape roared. Its expression did not change as it directly attacked the Buddha statue. At the same time, it did not forget to reach out a beast claw to grab the fat monk.
However, this did not happen. Because he was distracted, the fat monk only flashed a few times and dodged the huge ape's attack. Then, he looked at Sun Wukong coldly and quickly rushed toward Chen Xuanzang's position.
…
"Xuanzang!"
The fat monk arrived and stood in front of Chen Xuanzang.
"Master, you're here!"
Chen Xuanzang looked at him and greeted with a calm gaze. His voice was indifferent and there was no emotion in his tone. It was as if he was just brushing him off. There was no trace of anger in his voice.
"Xuanzang? You're now … "
"Master, you don't have to say anymore. I'm fine now!" Chen Xuanzang shook his head. "I finally understand what master said. I'm indeed just a little bit away. It's because of this little bit that I've lost a lot and also understood a lot!"
"You've taken the wrong path, Xuanzang. Now, you've fallen into the devil's will. Don't you understand? You've just been used by someone and made the wrong choice …"
"Used?" Chen Xuanzang smiled coldly and looked at his master with a deep gaze. Looking at him, it was as if the past appeared in his eyes again and reflected in his pupils.
Then, just like that, they burst bit by bit, like bubbles bursting with a loud bang. There was no longer a trace of emotion left.
The fat monk also sensed that something was wrong. His expression turned cold as he looked at Chen Xuanzang and asked, "What did you hear?"
"Nothing. It's just a story. Then, I understood another story! Master, don't you think I'm stupid? "
"Xuanzang, you have no choice. You are a member of the Buddhist sect. Your power, your essence, your past life, and your next life will all belong to the Buddhist sect. For the sake of the Buddhist sect, all of this is necessary. All of this … is worth it!"
"Buddha?"
"But it didn't save me! When I was in pain, master, you watched me suffer. When I was sad, you watched me suffer. Master, tell me, is this Buddha … "
With that, Chen Xuanzang closed his eyes.
In the next moment, a ball of golden Buddhist light exploded from his body. It shot into the sky like a huge pillar of light, illuminating the entire sky.
"I've cultivated bitterly for decades, but it's just a joke in your eyes. If this is Buddha, then I'd rather become a devil!"
At this moment, a ray of black light suddenly rose from the heavenly light. The black light spread like ink dripping into water.
In the blink of an eye, the golden Buddhist light completely changed, turning into a pure black demonic light that reached the sky.
On the spot, Chen Xuanzang's aura grew wildly. Before he breathed, he had become much stronger. Every second, every minute, he was changing and becoming stronger.
The surroundings were shrouded by the pitch-black demonic qi, turning into a deathly silent void.
Chen Xuanzang stood in the middle of this void. His tattered clothes had unknowingly turned into a pure black robe. There was a black lotus embroidered on both sides of the robe. On the lotus sat a Maitreya buddha who pitied the world.
Even his appearance had changed quite a bit.
He had a delicate face, a bald head, and a pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea. On his forehead, a small black lotus mark was faintly visible.
"From today onwards, I'm just … Chen Xuanzang!"
