Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 911 - 912: Success by Poison, Defeat by Poison (First Update!)

After displaying the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, Sun Wukong transformed into the Myriad Fathom Divine Monkey, while the Toxic General Yuan Du was merely a Poison Ape of several thousand fathoms. Sun Wukong’s enlarged form remained essentially unchanged, but his aura intensified several times, and his physical strength surged, lifting the Poison Ape incarnation of the toxic general Yuan Du off the ground with his fists.

"Energy Gathering Transformation! How, how is this possible? You, you’re just a Domain Marshal..."

Toxic General Yuan Du was utterly bewildered; how could Sun Wukong possibly perform an Energy Gathering Transformation?

No matter how one looked at it, Sun Wukong’s transformation into the Myriad Fathom Divine Monkey was almost indistinguishable from that of a Domain Emperor expert’s Energy Gathering Transformation. His aura might seem slightly weaker, but it was unmistakably the Energy Gathering Transformation!

"There are many impossible things in this world. Do I, old Sun, need to explain to you?"

Sun Wukong grinned and moved. Holding the toxic general Yuan Du’s fist, he swung it up, down, left, and right, smashing the toxic general Yuan Du hard towards another side, then back again.

Boom, boom, boom! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The booming sound was accompanied by violent tremors of the ground. Toxic General Yuan Du was utterly powerless to resist, being tossed around by Sun Wukong as if he were a ragdoll, leaving the gathered experts of the Battle God Ape Clan beneath the Battle God Platform breathing sharp intakes of air, their teeth aching.

"Heavens! Sun Wukong can perform Energy Gathering Transformation; this is a divine art only Domain Emperor realm experts can execute. How did he do it?"

"Freak! He’s such a freak! No wonder the Divine General treats this Sun Wukong so differently. It turns out his strength is indeed overwhelmingly powerful!"

"The legends of the Heavenly Demon City are not baseless; they’re indeed true! We’ve all underestimated that Sun Wukong!"

"Alas, Yuan Du is truly in a miserable situation now!"

At first, Toxic General Yuan Du tried to hold on, but after being smashed a dozen times, he couldn’t endure it any longer. He spewed out blood in large gulps, and the poison gas gathered around him began to dissipate in wisps. His Poison Ape incarnation rapidly shrank back to its original size, held up in front by Sun Wukong with two fingers.

"Do you yield?"

Sun Wukong grinned coldly, glaring at Toxic General Yuan Du.

"Yield, you celestial plank..."

"Poof!"

Toxic General Yuan Du hadn’t finished his insult when Sun Wukong heavily smashed him onto the Battle God Platform again, causing another mouthful of blood to erupt forth.

"I’ll ask you one more time, do you yield? If you still don’t, then I, old Sun, will return that punch you gave me in full!"

The situation was now reversed. Earlier, it was Toxic General Yuan Du swinging his mighty fist at Sun Wukong. Now it was Sun Wukong holding his fist, ready to smash Toxic General Yuan Du.

Toxic General Yuan Du’s current state couldn’t be compared to Sun Wukong’s earlier state. If he took another punch, he feared his last bit of breath would be knocked out of him!

"Yuan Du, didn’t you say the Battle God Ape Clan respects the strong? I, old Sun, am now stronger than you. Why are you dissatisfied? Do you think strength only depends on cultivation level? If that’s truly the case, I have nothing to say; you, short-sighted as a rat, are a waste of resources living! Here’s your last chance: yield or not?"

Sun Wukong’s voice wasn’t lowered, making it clear to all the Battle God Ape Clan members present, as their faces showed a contemplative look.

Sun Wukong was right. Strength isn’t just about cultivation levels but the demonstrated power. Although Yuan Du’s cultivation might be higher than Sun Wukong’s, now that he’s been smashed into the dust, unable to fight back, who is stronger and who is weaker is clear as day.

"I... I yield!"

After some struggle, Toxic General Yuan Du sighed dejectedly and conceded. As soon as that word was out, it was as if all strength was drained from his body, and he collapsed completely on the ground.

Swish!

Sun Wukong released the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, returning to his original size, extending a hand towards Toxic General Yuan Du.

Toxic General Yuan Du looked at Sun Wukong with complex emotions. After hesitating for a while, he still reached out to grasp Sun Wukong’s hand, feeling a great force lift his weakened body from the ground while a gentle power flowed into him, supporting him as his internal injuries began to heal.

"Yuan Du, you rely too much on the Poison Primordial Force, which is a great taboo! Your Poison Primordial Force is indeed powerful, with strong destructive and corrosive abilities compared to others’ primordial forces, but for this reason, it blinds you from seeing a greater future! Your talent is decent. You can mimic the Domain Emperor’s Energy Gathering Transformation using poison gas to form an avatar, even without reaching the Domain Emperor Realm. But this is not the righteous path!"

Sun Wukong infused Chaos Primordial Force into Toxic General Yuan Du, helping stabilize his injuries and speeding up his recovery while severely critiquing him, "Relying too much on such poison-gathering to form avatars will severely limit your progress. Eventually, you’ll hit an impenetrable bottleneck with no forward progress for life!"

"I..."

Sun Wukong’s words struck like a hammer on Toxic General Yuan Du’s heart, awakening him. He stood there shocked!

Indeed! He was too reliant on the Poison Primordial Force and the False Energy Gathering Technique!

Sun Wukong was right. He had already sensed the bottleneck. Over the years, Wrath General Yuan Fen, Fire General Yuan Tong, and Cold General Yuan Bing’s cultivation gradually caught up and surpassed him, reaching the late stage of the Domain King Realm, while he remained stuck at the mid-stage level, lacking progress. The reason was exactly as Sun Wukong said!

The Poison Dao is merely a minor path. It can be a special ability to enhance one’s combat power and destructive capacity, but it should never replace personal cultivation!

He’d focused too much on the Poison Primordial Force, concentrating on making its poison more potent, more corrosive yet neglected how it had become a burden slowly eroding his body.

The outcome of relying too much on the Poison Primordial Force was that his body was fixed in its toxic state, losing its original growth potential!

"But, the poison in my body has penetrated down to the bones, throughout my entire being. Even if I wanted to retreat now, it’s too late!"

Toxic General Yuan Du displayed a bitter smile. Success with poison, downfall with poison; he was in too deep with using poison, his entire body almost a toxic mass, with no way out. Must he abandon his cultivation entirely?
