Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 494 - : Union of Myriad Swords, Gathering of the Heavenly Swords (3rd Update!)

Just as the Leader of Tongtian had predicted, Sun Wukong began to struggle against the sudden increase in the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens. Sword after sword of the Heavenly Dao Killing Sword bombarded the massive Golden Demon-Subduing Staff, unable to halt its descent. Sun Wukong watched as it drew closer and closer, and his figure was pressed down from mid-air toward the ground of the Ninth Layer of Heaven, falling bit by bit. The entire Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation began to tremble slightly, showing signs that it could collapse at any moment.

“Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, slaughters myriad paths, Union of Myriad Swords, Gathering of the Heavenly Swords!”

Suddenly, a voice reached Sun Wukong’s ears—it was the voice of the Leader of Tongtian, conveying the secret to fully unleashing the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up as he pulled the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from his ear. He spat a trail of lifeblood essence onto it, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw it forward. Endless Sword Qi converged on the rod, gradually covering it and forming a Heavenly Dao giant sword that shone with a golden light. Great Dao Runes twined around the sword, and the sharp and fierce Sword Qi coiled around it like a dragon. Upon closer inspection, a layer of Chaos Fire was seen burning around it.

It was the Chaos Fire!

The Chaos Fire spurred by Sun Wukong’s lifeblood essence!

With the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod as the base, covered with the intent and Qi of the Heavenly Dao Killing Sword, the Union of Myriad Swords condensed the supreme Heavenly Dao Killing Sword. Chaos Fire completed its essence, unleashing the strongest strike!

“Ran Deng you bald donkey, let’s decide the winner!”

As the Heavenly Sword shot into the sky, it collided fiercely with the Golden Demon-Subduing Staff. The moment the sword tip hit the staff, it seemed as if time and space around the battlefield had come to a standstill. At the point of impact, an extremely small black hole appeared, drawing in all the light and color from around.

For a moment, the entire world seemed to fall into grayish darkness. Looking around, every scene was shrouded in a gray haze, devoid of any color.

Boom!

This situation lasted only for a few breaths. Following a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, an immense brilliance suddenly burst forth. All the experts felt an unbearable sting in their eyes. Even with their eyes shut tight, they could still feel the scorching pain. Terrifying shockwaves radiated from the center of the battlefield, annihilating everything in their vicinity. One by one, the masters were thrown around like fluff in the wind, tumbling for a long while before finally stabilizing themselves.

“What happened? Who won?”

“It must be Ran Deng Buddha, right? The power of the Twenty-Four Heavens to suppress the Buddhist Sect’s destiny is enough to destroy heaven and earth. How could that demon monkey possibly withstand it?”

“That’s not necessarily true! The strength of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven simply cannot be measured by his cultivation. Look how long he’s fought against several Saints, and he’s still jumping around, isn’t he?”

“The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is known as the number one killing formation of Ancient Primeval times. No matter how powerful those Twenty-Four Heavens are, they’re probably no match, right?”

“Stop guessing, we’ll see the results soon enough!”

Debate erupted everywhere as everyone’s eyes were fixed on the still smoke and light covered center of the battlefield. Everyone’s eyes were wide open, waiting to see the outcome of this world-shaking duel, and the fighting among themselves had slowed down.

The intense light and dust persisted for the duration of half an incense stick before gradually dissipating, revealing a scene that caused everyone to gasp in unison.

A colossal black hole appeared at the center of the battlefield, which was slowly shrinking under the self-repairing ability of the Three Realms Space; nothing remained in several miles radius around the hole. The already shattered ground of the Ninth Layer of Heaven’s Heavenly Palace directly formed a giant pit, with clouds below all dispersed, revealing the scenery of the Mortal Realm beneath the Immortal Realm.

Ran Deng Buddha floated above the sky, the Twenty-Four Heavens behind him had vanished without a trace. His Golden Demon-Subduing Staff bore numerous sword marks and had suffered considerable damage, but it seemed as though he wasn’t hurt much. However, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at Sun Wukong, who was kneeling next to the great pit, with venom in his eyes and his forehead veins throbbing.

“Damn it, this demon monkey!”

A droplet of golden-red blood flowed from Ran Deng Buddha’s arm, revealing that he had indeed been injured. The immense power of the Union of Myriad Swords in the final move of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array had been wholly unexpected; it had even scattered the force of the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds!

Although the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array had also collapsed, Ran Deng Buddha could not summon the Twenty-Four Heavens in a short time. If he forced the summoning, the worlds’ power might collapse, and this treasure that subdued the Buddhist Sect’s fate might be damaged!

“Pfft!”

Sun Wukong knelt on the ground, his Ruyi Divine Armor covered in wounds, and several cuts were also visible on his cheek, which the armor couldn’t completely cover. The Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying had re-entered the formation map’s sword slots and, after shrinking, flown back into the Ruyi Divine Armor. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod was planted on the ground before him, held up by one hand of Sun Wukong, still humming and trembling.

Sun Wukong’s mouth moved slightly, but it triggered the injuries inside him, causing a mouthful of reverse blood to spray out towards the side and fall into the large pit. This time, he truly didn’t have any extra strength to gather back the sacred blood he spat out.

As the Heavenly Dao’s foremost killing formation, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array’s killing power was unmatched, but its baleful energy was just as profound. For this reason, it could not suppress the fate of an entire sect, leading to the gradual decline of Jie Sect after the Divine Enthronement battle. Although Sun Wukong managed to form the Heavenly Sword of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array under the guidance of the Leader of Tongtian through transcendental messages, breaking the force of the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds, the backlash and the collision’s shock were substantial.

To be honest, the fact that he could still kneel without falling owed much to the support of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod; otherwise, Sun Wukong might already be lying on the ground, unable to move!

This face-off with Ran Deng Buddha nearly exhausted all of Sun Wukong’s strength. Now, he was truly completely out of combat power, with no more last resorts left!

“Boss!”

A cry of alarm sounded as the Dragon Cat emerged from the replica Ruyi Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist. Seeing Sun Wukong’s breathless appearance, its little face instantly filled with anger, “Who did this? Who injured you like this?”

Prior to this, the Dragon Cat had been sound asleep in the replica Ruyi Qiankun Bag. When Sun Wukong burned his life primordial to activate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, severely injuring Tathagata Buddha and having his physical body reduced to ashes, only the Ruyi Divine Armor and the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod remained. The replica Ruyi Qiankun Bag was also destroyed along with them.

The Dragon Cat drifted into the Endless Void, utterly unaware of what had transpired. Only later, under the influence of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, was Sun Wukong’s body reconstituted, and with it, the replica Ruyi Qiankun Bag was restored, pulling the Dragon Cat back from the Endless Void into the interior space of the bag. All this had taken place without the Dragon Cat noticing anything!
