Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 704 - 705

Chapter 704: 705

Chapter 704: 705

“It seems there’s a figure within the black hole…”

“It looks like a figure… Yes, it’s Sun Wukong!”

“Sun Wukong isn’t dead! He’s still alive!”

All being Saints of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, their eyesight was naturally first-rate, and one after another, they quickly spotted the figure standing quietly in the void at the very center of the black hole—it was Sun Wukong!

And the figure of Lei Kuang had completely vanished!

The master of the Thunder Clan, Lei Kuang, who was at the Realm of a Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, had been utterly obliterated, body and spirit, leaving no trace behind. The victor was the Sect Leader of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, who was only at the Half-Step Saint Realm!

The spatial black hole finally shrank and disappeared completely, with Mu Sheng and Yan Jue flying up to Sun Wukong first, coming to his side.

“Great Sage, how are you, are you alright?”

At this moment, Sun Wukong’s body, covered by the Ruyi Divine Armor, was filled with cracks, and specks of blood were scattered all over. Even on his cheeks, there were two deep cuts that reached the bone. He did not look unscathed by any means. Mu Sheng immediately wanted to infuse Life Primordial Force into Sun Wukong but was stopped by Sun Wukong’s hand.

“Just some injuries, nothing serious, don’t worry!”

The cuts on Sun Wukong’s face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He had stood still for a long while just now to refine and purge the destructive power that had invaded his body, otherwise, even if the external wounds were treated, the destructive power within could tear open new wounds.

Lei Kuang truly deserved his reputation as a Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint. The attack he unleashed in his dying moments was indeed horrendously powerful!

Fortunately, Sun Wukong now had four Great Dao pillars solidified into form, and he had used the Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens to enhance his combat power. Otherwise, it really would have been uncertain who would have won or lost that last strike!

None of these Saints of the Ancient Myriad Clans were easy opponents; they all possessed their powerful trump cards. The Evil Emperor from before was like this, and now Lei Kuang was the same—a moment of carelessness could result in severe losses!

“Great Sage, your aura seems unstable. Are you sure you’re alright?”

Yan Jue now revered Sun Wukong deeply. Lei Kuang, despite being so strong, was beaten down by Sun Wukong like a grandchild, and even after desperately unleashing all his strength, he still couldn’t defeat Sun Wukong and met a crushing end!

To describe Sun Wukong’s combat power as defying the heavens wouldn’t be an overstatement, defeating two Saints in one day. Such a feat would surely be passed down through the ages!

“That guy Lei Kuang really was formidable. I almost couldn’t handle his desperate attack!”

Sun Wukong chuckled, “But no worries, these injuries aren’t much. I just need a bit of recovery! Alright, there’s no need for you all to be too concerned. Otherwise, those with ulterior motives might see and think they can take advantage of me, believing that I’ve been gravely injured!”

“The Great Sage is right, his injuries are not severe!”

After carefully examining Sun Wukong’s body up and down, Mu Sheng nodded his head. Although he hadn’t probed into Sun Wukong’s body with his Divine Sense, he could tell that Sun Wukong’s injuries were healing at an astonishing rate, and they didn’t need to lift a finger to help.

To only sustain some superficial injuries after such a massive collision of energies and to not have any harm done to the meridians and organs—Mu Sheng found that quite incredible. But perhaps that was for the best. There were still quite a few Heavenly Dao Saints present, apart from Ran Deng Buddha, the Jade Emperor, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and Donghua Emperor. The others were either the clan leaders or Supreme Elders of various races—who knew what they were all thinking?

If someone like Lei Kuang wanted to take advantage of the situation, it was, of course, best to appear as natural as possible, to deter them from acting rashly!

One by one, the Heavenly Dao Saints gradually flew closer, but all stopped in tacit agreement a hundred yards away, not daring to get closer. To a Heavenly Dao Saint, a hundred yards was just a moment’s journey, yet it was a relatively safe distance. To come any closer would imply concern or a provocation.

Unlike Mu Sheng and Yan Jue, these Heavenly Dao Saints didn’t have any relationship with Sun Wukong. With the situation unclear, they certainly didn’t want to antagonize Sun Wukong, who was capable of slaying two Heavenly Dao Saints in a single day. There was no benefit in needlessly provoking such a dangerous entity!

“Great Sage Equalling Heaven, such an impressive aura, such evil Qi!” Ran Deng Buddha squinted at Sun Wukong. “Sun Wukong, you slaughter so recklessly, do you think you are unbeatable, that no one in the Three Realms can govern you?”

Silence followed, a deathly silence. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Sun Wukong, yet no one spoke a word. Ran Deng Buddha’s words were clearly provocative, and everyone there was a powerful being of the Saint Realm—none of them were fools; how could they not understand?

“Ran Deng Buddha, what do you mean by that?” Yan Jue, known for his explosive temper, was the first to speak up after the silence, glaring at Ran Deng Buddha. The Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect was one of the three major powers in the Three Realms, but to Yan Jue, they were no different from the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult. The Flame Clan had relocated from the Three Realms before the Buddhist Sect even came into existence!

Yan Jue now had immense admiration for Sun Wukong, almost venerating him as an idol. Naturally, he couldn’t stand it when Ran Deng Buddha was stirring up trouble!

“Yan Jue, there’s no need to get worked up, don’t fall for the tricks of this bald donkey Ran Deng!” Sun Wukong knew Yan Jue was taking up for him and gently patted him on the shoulder. Sometimes the affinity between people can be strange; those who share a similar temperament can feel like good brothers they’ve known for many years upon first meeting. Sun Wukong felt this way about both Mu Sheng and Yan Jue.

“Ran Deng, I know you have always had an issue with me, but that’s okay! I, Old Sun, am standing right in front of you. If you want to stretch your limbs, I, Old Sun, am all in. But I have a bit of advice for you—put away that passive-aggressive attitude of yours. No one here is a fool!”

Turning his gaze towards Ran Deng Buddha, Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly. So, this Ran Deng Buddha hadn’t been idle all these years, breaking through to the Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint Realm!

It seemed changes to the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Three Realms provided everyone with an excellent opportunity to improve. Just like Sun Wukong had previously thought, he wasn’t the only one making progress in his cultivation strength.

“Hmph! I certainly don’t have the habit of taking advantage of others’ misfortune!” Ran Deng Buddha, stung by Sun Wukong’s retort, snorted coldly and, somewhat reluctantly, shot Sun Wukong a glare before turning to fly off toward Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain.

He had to report today’s events to Tathagata Buddha as soon as possible!
