Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 490 - : Future Uncertain (15th Update!)
Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Future Uncertain (15th Update!)
(PS: Woke up at noon, wrote a chapter, going to have lunch, then will continue writing, whatever is written will be posted!)
“What?”
Ran Deng Buddha was shocked. He had thought his strike would severely injure Sun Wukong, especially since it had only been barely blocked by the combined efforts of Luo Bai, Nezha, and Erlang God Yang Jian, who together managed to withstand his casual palm strike. Even if Sun Wukong was somewhat stronger than them, how much stronger could he be?

But to his surprise, Sun Wukong’s strength was so much greater than that of the trio! A strike infused with domain power actually failed to harm Sun Wukong!
“I refuse to believe it, you Demon Monkey can really contend with a Saint!”
A fierce determination appeared on Ran Deng Buddha’s face. He was now a Heavenly Dao Saint, was it a joke that he could be bested by this Demon Monkey, Sun Wukong? He must, he absolutely had to crush this Demon Monkey into dust, to extinguish the hate in his heart!
“Demon-Subduing Seal!”
With his left hand, he drew a talisman seal and slapped it onto the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his right hand. Ran Deng Buddha let out a low shout and charged towards the giant rod shadow formed by the Heaven-Breaking Nine Rods, “Demon Monkey, I will now show you what it means to be incontrovertibly a Saint! Shatter!”
Immeasurable Buddha Light spread from the Demon-Subduing Pestle, sweeping across the rod shadow. In an instant, the ostensibly unbreakable giant rod shadow was blasted to pieces, and the Heaven-Breaking Nine Rods completely disintegrated under the pestle’s strike. Sun Wukong, as if struck by lightning, let out a muffled grunt and his figure plummeted down once more.
“This Ran Deng Bald Donkey is so strong now!”
After tumbling several times before stabilizing his form and dissipating the immense rebound strength, Sun Wukong’s eyes suddenly narrowed and his brows furrowed. The strength of Ran Deng Buddha had improved immensely compared to the past, and although he was still somewhat weaker than Tathagata Buddha, he was now on the same level, far surpassing anyone below the Saint Level!
I, Old Sun, might not be able to defeat him now!
In just an instant, Sun Wukong had assessed the relative combat power between them. Although he could contend with Ran Deng Buddha, it was merely contention, and if it dragged on for too long with excessive depletion of his Chaos Primordial Force, he would end up like a fish on the chopping block, vulnerable to be cut up at will as before.
Not to mention, Sun Wukong cast his gaze to the side at Tathagata Buddha, who was another formidable bald donkey looking on with covetous eyes!
“Donghua Emperor, why do you not join in the attack?”
In another battle group, the experts from Flower-Fruit Mountain, seeing Sun Wukong come back to life, were all inexplicably delighted, and their attacks momentarily slackened, affording the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court a breather. The Jade Emperor took the chance to regroup the Heavenly Court’s immortals and gods into the Great Formation of Ten Thousand Immortals, stabilizing their stance once again.
Seeing that Donghua Emperor had only attacked once and then stood above the clouds, not making another move, the Jade Emperor’s brows twisted with some displeasure as he questioned Donghua Emperor, “The Heavenly Court has become like this, all because of that Demon Monkey. Have you forgotten your duty, Emperor?”
Donghua Emperor’s brows furrowed. He was well aware of his duties, which was why he had responded to the Jade Emperor’s call to come in the first place. However, to him, having three great Saints gang up on a successor merely at the Slaying Two Corpses Quasi-Saint Realm seemed quite disgraceful and shameful. Moreover, he had a rather favorable impression of Sun Wukong, and if not necessary, he truly did not wish to be Sun Wukong’s enemy!
Speaking of the current state of the Heavenly Court, if not for you, Jade Emperor, insisting on doing things your own way, using Zi Lan Fairy to lure Sun Wukong here, how could the Heavenly Court have ended up like this?
“Enough!”
With a sigh, the Donghua Emperor ultimately couldn’t forget his duty to protect the Heavenly Court. His Immortal Sword flickered in his hand and a huge sword light shot out, slashing towards Sun Wukong as he still shouted, “Sun Wukong, watch the sword!”
“This bastard!”
The Jade Emperor gnashed his teeth. The sword qi attacks of the Donghua Emperor were second only to the Leader of Tongtian within the Heavenly Court, renowned for their speed and ferocity. Especially now that he had proven the Tao and reached the peak realm of the Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint; his strike could shatter the heavens and earth, and was so quick that unless one was prepared in advance, there was no time to defend. The Donghua Emperor could have taken Sun Wukong by surprise, surely landing a blow and killing him with a single strike of his sword, but he opted to give a warning instead—clearly allowing Sun Wukong time to prepare!
Had it been any other immortals or gods, the Jade Emperor would have yelled and settled accounts later, but towards the Donghua Emperor, he could only grit his teeth and endure. Not to mention the high status of the Donghua Emperor in the Heavenly Court, just based on his current cultivation as a Heavenly Dao Saint, he was not someone the Jade Emperor could control.
Ultimately, it was his own cultivation and strength that were lacking. If he were like the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court and reached the realm of a Heavenly Dao Saint, would there still be anyone in the Heavenly Court who dared to defy him?
How infuriating! Heavenly Dao Saint, I must break through during this Immeasurable Calamity, I must!
Sun Wukong had just exchanged a few moves with the Ran Deng Ancient Buddha and was once again sent flying. He felt a suffocating pressure in his chest. Just then, he heard the Donghua Emperor’s shout, which sent a shiver down his spine. He quickly turned around to see a sword light, fast as lightning, already flying towards his face. In a desperate move, he bent over backward so sharply his body formed a ninety-degree angle; the sword light barely grazed his cheek. Sun Wukong only felt a slight pain and a cold sensation on his face where golden sacred blood was already flowing from a cut made by the sharp sword aura.
“So fast! Such a sharp sword light!”
Sun Wukong was secretly amazed. The Donghua Emperor was also a Sword Immortal, and his current strength was probably not much less than that of the Ancestor of Sword Immortals, the Leader of Tongtian. Had it not been for the Donghua Emperor’s loud warning, Sun Wukong might already have been sliced in two. An Undying Body or an Indestructible Body was virtually meaningless against such a high-level attack. Sun Wukong wasn’t at all confident he could rejoin his severed body if that had happened—he would probably have to use the final life-saving opportunity of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman!
Sun Wukong’s respect for the Donghua Emperor rose once again. Apart from the fact that their opposed stands made them destined enemies, this Donghua Emperor could be considered one of the most upright and honorable high-rank immortals he had ever seen!
Giving the Donghua Emperor a nod, Sun Wukong conveyed his gratitude with a look, then held his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod horizontally, took a deep breath, and charged towards the Ran Deng Ancient Buddha. At the same time, he kept an eye on the Donghua Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha.
The Tathagata Buddha was currently seated calmly on the Merit Golden Lotus, not in a hurry to make a move. It seemed he was either healing his injuries or trying to temporarily suppress the pain. As for the Donghua Emperor, having already given him one warning, Sun Wukong didn’t think he would warn him a second time!
The outcome of today’s battle is uncertain—an extraordinary peril indeed!
“Demon Monkey, if I were you, I would have fled by now. And yet you still dare to strike back, you truly do not know the word ‘death’!”
