Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 479 - : Infatuation Curse (4th Update!)
Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Infatuation Curse (4th Update!)
“Wukong!”
Zi Lan Fairy watched in horror as Sun Wukong’s figure was pressed down by the Tathagata Buddha’s giant golden hand; she let out an involuntary scream. Reason told her that she should take advantage of the Tathagata Buddha’s disregard for her and head to the Doushui Palace to seek refuge from the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, as Wukong had told her. Yet, a voice inside her screamed so loudly that she couldn’t bring herself to move her feet!
She couldn’t just watch as Sun Wukong sacrificed his own life to secure her chance to escape. Zi Lan Fairy would rather die together with Sun Wukong than escape alone!
“Tathagata Palm!”
Sun Wukong had exhausted all the special abilities of the Chaos Divine Pearl—Ethereal, Rebound, and Energy Storage. Now, less than half of his Chaos Primordial Force remained inside him. Despite exerting all of his strength, he still couldn’t withstand Tathagata Buddha’s attack. After several exchanges, he was eventually struck down to the ground of the Ninth Layer of Heaven’s Heavenly Palace, shattering a large piece of the land once more.
“Sun Wukong, hand over the Chaos Divine Pearl, and I shall allow you to ascend the Heavenly Ladder!”
...
Just like the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Tathagata Buddha covets Sun Wukong’s Chaos Divine Pearl extremely. Instead of killing Sun Wukong, the temptation to obtain the Chaos Divine Pearl is far greater. Without the Chaos Divine Pearl, Sun Wukong, no matter how defy the heavens he might be, is just a Slaying Two Corpses Quasi-Saint—an easy fix at any time.
“Hahaha! Cough, cough!”
Collapsed on the ground, Sun Wukong looked up at the Tathagata Buddha seated on the clouds and laughed. But laughter tugged at his wounds, and he couldn’t help but cough violently. He had now truly exhausted all his strength; there were no means left for him to recover his power.
But he would never hand over the Chaos Divine Pearl!
“Tathagata, your Buddhist Sect preaches against greed, hate, and delusion, yet you threaten me so for my treasure. What hypocrisy, what a little man! I, old Sun, will never hand the Chaos Divine Pearl over to you, so you might as well give up!”
Sun Wukong had thrown caution to the winds. Surrounded by two great saints, his escape was impossible today. It would be a lie to say he had no regrets. He had lived again, hoping to defy fate and settle his past grudges with the Tathagata Buddha. Yet, in the end, he still fell into the hands of Tathagata Buddha.
Is this destiny?
“Stubborn fool! Do you really think you can keep it from me?”
“Immeasurable Buddha Nation!”
“Myriad Buddhas Worship!”
The domain of the Immeasurable Buddha Nation was activated, and once again, the Tathagata Buddha used the Myriad Buddhas Worship move of the Tathagata Palm. A multitude of overlapping golden palms bombarded towards Sun Wukong.
The Tathagata Buddha had made up his mind: spiritual treasures sense their owners, and once the master perishes, they naturally fly off to seek a new master. Killing Sun Wukong and then taking the Chaos Divine Pearl from his corpse was the plan!
Is this the end?
As the Golden Buddha Palm drew ever closer and he felt the terrifying force threatening to tear his body apart, a wretched smile appeared on Sun Wukong’s lips. In this life, he ultimately couldn’t change his fate. Sorry, my brothers and sisters, after this, you’ll have to walk the path of Flower-Fruit Mountain on your own…
“Big brother Monkey!”
A thunderous roar came from afar, traveling up the Heavenly Ladder. It was Luo Bai. He had rushed over from the Greenwave Palace and now witnessed the Tathagata Buddha’s colossal palm striking Sun Wukong. Desperate to rescue him yet far too late, he let out a grief-stricken shout.
“Luo Bai, take care. Flower-Fruit Mountain will be in your hands now!”
Wukong’s lips emitted a faint sigh as he slowly closed his eyes, ready to accept the fate of death’s arrival.
The wild strength eventually slammed into him, a feeling of agony that seemed to tear his body apart instantly spread throughout his body, but it was a fleeting sensation. Wukong only felt a warmth enveloping his body, as if a gentle strength had infused into him, rapidly replenishing his dried-up Chaos Primordial Force. Astonished, he opened his eyes.
What caught his eyes was a sight that made him almost burst with rage.
“Nine Nether Spirits, gods and demons of all heavens, with my flesh and blood, I offer as sacrifice. For three lifetimes and seven existences, I’ll plunge into Yama forever, for love’s sake, even in death, I have no regrets! Wukong, I’ll go first, you must live on, you must!”

Zi Lan Fairy stood in front of Wukong, her gentle singing voice resounded, as her entire body started to dissolve bit by bit, turning into a ball of light enveloping Wukong, the immense Tathagata Palm dispersing within this light without a trace.
“The Infatuation Curse?”
Tathagata Buddha’s expression changed, Zi Lan Fairy had actually used the prohibited Infatuation Curse to block this lethal strike for Wukong!
The Infatuation Curse was a prohibition curse of the Queen Mother’s faction, originally created by one of the Queen Mother’s female immortals. Once used, it would exhaust all the essence blood and soul, transforming into an extremely powerful force, enough to withstand any attack in the world, even the attacks of the Heavenly Dao Saint, as Zi Lan Fairy did at this moment.
But once cast, all essence blood and three souls and seven spirits would be completely consumed, utterly vanishing without the chance for reincarnation!
Therefore, even though this curse had been passed down among the Queen Mother’s faction after the death of that immortal, it was listed as a prohibition curse, strictly forbidden to use. No one expected Zi Lan Fairy to have learned this forbidden curse, and to use it in such a moment!
“Zi Lan…”
A tear of emotion fell from the corner of Wukong’s eyes, at the place where Zi Lan Fairy disappeared, a jade pendant shimmering with nine-colored light fell down, suddenly pierced through a spatial rift and vanished from sight.
“Nine-Colored Soul Jade?”
Tathagata Buddha narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking of something, his hands suddenly forming a mysterious Dharma Seal. Several streams of colorful light manifested from where Zi Lan Fairy had vanished, converging into the Dharma Seal, and coalescing into a three-colored glowing jade that landed in Tathagata Buddha’s palm, which he then tucked away.
In the Greenwave Palace Hall of the Upper Pure Heavens, a spatial rift emerged, and the nine-colored light-shimmering jade pendant drilled out, landing in the hands of Leader of Tongtian, who, feeling the faint pulse within, let out a faint sigh.
“What a lovesick man and woman in this world! So the premonition has come true! Wukong, I hope you can withstand this emotional calamity!”
Pocketing the nine-colored jade pendant, Leader of Tongtian stretched out his hand drawing a spatial rift and dashed through it, hurrying towards the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
“Tathagata you old thief! I’ll have your life!”
The tear falling from the corner of his eye began to show a hint of gold, that was the mingling of Wukong’s saintly blood. Accompanied by a low roar that seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, a pitch-black evil Qi suddenly rose from Wukong’s body, chilling to the bone!
“Not good, this demon monkey is demonizing!”
Tathagata Buddha’s expression darkened, an ominous feeling welled up in his heart.
