The world of Journey to the West
In the valley below the Five-finger Mountain, the World Cage that had been set up exploded with a loud bang following the death of the fat monk. It turned into golden fragments and disappeared into the world.
This scene was naturally witnessed by many sects and fiendish demons.
"Did it disappear?"
"The seal is broken? Could it be that Sun Wukong escaped and shattered it? "
…
At the thought of this, everyone's expression became complicated.
The Immortals were mostly fearful and indignant, while the Demons were cheering and excited.
"I definitely can't let that Demon Monkey live. He has been suppressed for five hundred years, but I can't. His strength hasn't been depleted at all, but his cultivation might have regressed quite a bit!"
"That's right. Now that the Monkey Demon is not strong enough, it's the best time to kill him!"
"Kill him!"
…
Many sects discussed animatedly, but they were just talking. When it came to fighting with Sun Wukong, all of them stood on the spot and refused to move. They were just paper tigers.
On the other hand, the Fiendish Demons on the other side were different. They formed groups of three to five and rushed directly into the Five-finger Mountain like a black tide.
…
"Go to hell!"
Far away in the valley, the stone Buddha was no match for the giant ape after losing the "300 Nursery Rhymes" and the support of the fat monk's strength.
With a roar from the giant ape, the stone Buddha was hit by the terrifying sound waves. The surroundings were filled with dense cracks, and it was a tragic sight.
Then, the giant ape swung its fist down. Amidst the rumbling explosion, the huge stone Buddha was blown apart by the punch, turning into countless gravel and sand. Smoke and dust filled the air, dancing in the air.
"Hahaha, Tathagata, what else do you have? Show me!"
Sun Wukong stood there and laughed wildly. He slowly transformed into a human form, and his golden armor shone brightly.
Unfortunately, he did not know that Tathagata was not here. The real Tathagata was not someone he could fight against.
"Sun! Wu! Kong! "
Amidst his maniacal laughter, a soft hum drifted from the sky and entered his ears faintly like a ghost.
"Who is it?"
Sun Wukong turned his head abruptly and looked at the sky in the distance with his golden eyes. There, a monk in a black lotus robe was walking slowly in the void toward him.
Although he said he was walking slowly, in fact, the monk covered hundreds of meters with each step. Therefore, in a short time, he stood in front of Sun Wukong.
That person was Chen Xuanzang, who had abandoned the past and chosen a new life.
"It's you?" Sun Wukong looked at him in surprise, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Little monk, I didn't expect you to become like this. Hmm, this aura … Have you turned into a demon?"
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.
This was a living joke. A devout Bodhisattva had turned into a demon. Was there anything more ironic than this?
"Little monk, could it be that you're looking for me for revenge? For that woman! "
Sun Wukong looked at Chen Xuanzang mockingly, but there was a trace of coldness and vigilance in the depths of his eyes. This was because he could not see through the strength of this little monk at first glance. He could not sense the depth of this little monk at all.
Of course, his vigilance was only for a moment. He did not believe that this little monk could deal with him.
Who was he? The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, the invincible demon king of a generation!
Chen Xuanzang was just a mortal before. Although he had some strength now, in Sun Wukong's eyes, he was at most a little stronger than a mortal. He was not even an immortal. After all, it was not easy to become an immortal, let alone in such a short time.
"Amitabha!"
Chen Xuanzang put his palms together and murmured the name of Buddha. Instantly, rays of black light shot out from his body. They were like lasers that swept toward sun wukong. The black light only grazed the space slightly and a black hole was melted in the space. It was terrifying.
"You have quite a few tricks up your sleeves. But they are useless against my immortal monster body!"
Sun Wukong sneered. While Chen Xuanzang's strength was beyond his imagination, in his eyes, Chen Xuanzang was just an ant that had grown into a bigger ant.
Therefore, he ignored the black light. He crossed his arms and looked at Chen Xuanzang with a sneer. He did not even bother to dodge.
"Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt ~"
The black light made contact with Sun Wukong, and there was a sizzling sound. However, it could not hurt him at all. There was no effect at all. Not even a strand of his hair was damaged.
"Ferry of the Sea of Bitterness!"
Chen Xuanzang's expression did not change. He looked at Sun Wukong and gently raised his hand, forming a seal and pressing it down.
That seal was intertwined with black light. It was like the purest black in the world. Lines of patterns were born and extinguished within it. Just looking at it would make one's soul feel like it was being pulled into it.
That was a magic that Chen Xuanzang had learned. It was the comprehension he had gained after going through reincarnation. It was a portrayal of his soul.
There were eight hardships in life. Birth, old age, illness, death, love, separation, resentment, longing, and being unable to let go …
The world was a sea of bitterness. All living beings were suffering.
As the seal slowly pressed down, a strange scene seemed to appear before Sun Wukong's eyes.
It was a boundless black sea. The seawater was deathly still, without the slightest ripple. Within this sea, a yellowish wooden boat slowly drifted over.
A young man in a straw raincoat stood in the wooden boat. He was rowing the boat as he stared into the distance. He was like a statue that was eternally fixed there.
Gradually, the wooden boat drifted over.
It cut through the seawater, causing ripples, and then appeared beside Sun Wukong.
"Is there a ferryman in the world of mortals?"
"Who dares to ask about immortality in the boundless sea of bitterness?"
The chants were like the most sincere chants in the soul. They directly penetrated Sun Wukong's spirit and will and were transmitted to his heart. Then, they rumbled and rippled in his heart.
"Dear guest, it's time to be on your way!"
The young man in the straw raincoat raised his head and revealed his face. It was Chen Xuanzang. He looked at Sun Wukong with a pair of gloomy and profound eyes that were as distant and long as a black hole. With only one look, all the past events and sufferings were frozen in the past, as if it was a great joy and bliss.
Pfftt!
Sun Wukong spat out a mouthful of blood with just one look.
His mind was shaken. The principles and ideals that he had been holding on to were violently shaken. It was as if he was about to let go of everything and step onto the boat to live a carefree life.
However, Sun Wukong's will was frightening. He forcibly broke free from this ability that went straight to his mind.
It was fortunate that he was able to do so. Otherwise, his mind would have been forever trapped in that illusory sea of bitterness. He would have sunk there for all eternity.
"What a vicious ability!"
Sun Wukong wiped the blood from his mouth. He looked at Chen Xuanzang with his pure golden eyes. He did not hide the blatant killing intent in his eyes.
Such a vicious ability was the best choice to destroy one's path of cultivation. Once one was intimidated, their mind and will would sink into eternal oblivion. They would become nothing more than a walking corpse. It was extremely terrifying.
"Amitabha!"
Chen Xuanzang's expression did not change when he saw that the ability was ineffective. He waved his hand slightly and dispersed the light of the ability.
He stood there and looked at the sky. It was as if he could see the woman singing softly under the moonlight.
"Sun Wukong, today, either you die or you die!"
