What does this demon monkey mean?

The words of Sun Wukong left Tathagata Buddha somewhat puzzled, but before he could figure out the reason, Sun Wukong had already made a move.

Boom!

A chaotic-colored flame rose from Sun Wukong’s body, enveloping his myriad fathom dharma body, and the Buddha’s light that had been burning on his protective aura immediately flared up upon contact with the Chaos Fire. However, this time it was not Sun Wukong’s protective aura that was burning, but the Buddha’s light itself!

“What kind of flame is this? It can even ignite my Buddha’s light!”

...

A look of shock flashed across Tathagata Buddha’s face. He had seen this chaotic-colored flame from Sun Wukong before, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Unexpectedly, it was so powerful it could even ignite Buddha’s light, which was different from the Buddha’s light burning other things—this was consuming his own Buddha’s light!

“Tathagata, do you think I would tell you?”

Sun Wukong sneered, “Your Buddha’s light burns everything, and my flame is just the same. Quite a coincidence! It’s just that your Buddha’s light seems a tad inferior!”

The face of Tathagata Buddha darkened. He had originally intended to use the Buddha’s light to force Sun Wukong into submission, but instead, he found himself being ridiculed by this monkey—outrageous!

Just as he was about to say something, Sun Wukong made his move, his form flashed as he rushed forward, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand wreathed in Chaos Fire as he smashed it down towards Tathagata Buddha’s head.

“Tathagata, take this hit from me!”

“Immovable Fundamental Seal! Tathagata Palm!”

Tathagata Buddha formed a Buddha seal with both hands, activating the Tathagata Palm to strike the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. The chaotic-colored flame of Sun Wukong was too weird, and Tathagata Buddha dared not take it lightly. The strength of this demon monkey cannot be simply judged by his cultivation level, and Tathagata Buddha did not wish to suffer the humiliation of losing an arm again, like last time at the Flower-Fruit Mountain!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the Tathagata Palm clashed in mid-air, creating thunderous roars. The violent shockwaves spread out in all directions, and large Dao patterns appeared on the ground of the Ninth Layer of Heaven’s Heavenly Palace. The protective formation that protected the whole Ninth Layer of Heaven had been activated to withstand the terrible force of the battle between Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha. Nevertheless, the power of their clash was too immense. The Heavenly Palace’s defensive formations probably wouldn’t last long!

“Damn it, why is this demon monkey so formidable? He’s clearly just a Slaying Two Corpses Quasi-Saint!”

The Investiture of the Gods in the hands of the Jade Emperor emitted a light shield surrounding him. The violent shockwaves rippled upon it but caused no harm to the Jade Emperor inside. However, there was no joy on the Jade Emperor’s face, only a grim shade.

Last time at Flower-Fruit Mountain, although Sun Wukong had demonstrated extreme combat power, he still ended up at a disadvantage against Tathagata Buddha. Had it not been for relying on the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, he could never have cut off an arm of Tathagata Buddha. But this time, as they clashed again, Sun Wukong’s strength had clearly improved, and he was barely able to withstand Tathagata Buddha’s attack.

“No, this demon monkey is growing too fast. We absolutely must not give him more time to grow. Otherwise, there may come a day when no one will be able to restrain him anymore!”

The Jade Emperor clenched his teeth and turned to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, clasping his hands and saying, “Heavenly Venerable, it seems we might need you to act to subdue this demon monkey!”

“There’s no need for that!”

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable shook his head, his brow exuding pride as he indifferently said, “To deal with the demon monkey Sun Wukong, Buddha is more than enough. There’s no need for me to intervene!”

“But…”

“No more words! If both Buddha and I have to join hands to deal with a mere Slaying Two Corpses Quasi-Saint’s clone, wouldn’t that make us the laughingstock of all beings in the Three Realms?”

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable raised his hand, interrupting the Jade Emperor. Wukong’s formidable strength indeed surprised him, but after all, Wukong still had not reached the Saint Realm of the Heavenly Dao. The reason why he seemed so evenly matched with Tathagata Buddha was purely that the Ancestral Buddha was constantly suppressing his power to avoid damaging the Three Realms Space. Otherwise, if a Saint of the Heavenly Dao were to give it their all, no one below the Saint Realm could possibly withstand it!

As one of the Three Purities, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had his own pride. He agreed to take action against Sun Wukong for two reasons: firstly, Wukong had revealed the secrets of the Divine Enthronement, spreading it across the world and causing him to lose face among various powers of the Three Realms, which angered him; secondly, Wukong’s potential was too great, and his growth too rapid. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable felt that if he didn’t act now, it might become very difficult to restrain Wukong in the future.

However, agreeing to take action was one thing, and to join hands with Tathagata Buddha to deal with Sun Wukong was quite another. He was, after all, the esteemed Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Pure Ones – how could he possibly team up with someone else to handle a junior? If word got out, it would be a total embarrassment!

“Damn it!”

With the Primordial Heavenly Venerable showing no consideration, the Jade Emperor seethed with silent fury but didn’t dare to speak out. Unlike the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was known to be ruthless, proud, and extremely cunning. He had to tread carefully with his words, lest he offend him; even as the Jade Emperor, he wouldn’t be spared the consequences!

With the Primordial Heavenly Venerable refusing to make a move, the Jade Emperor was helpless and could only place his hope in the Tathagata Buddha, hoping that he would be able to thoroughly handle Sun Wukong this time!

“All gods of the Heavenly Court, heed my command – stop the demon monkey’s clones and Zi Lan Fairy. They must not be allowed to escape even half a step out of the Heavenly Court!”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

Casting his gaze toward the distance, Sun Wukong’s clones were seen escorting Zi Lan Fairy, continuously breaking through blockades set up by the heavenly soldiers and generals and rushing toward the Southern Heavenly Gate. A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Jade Emperor as he issued his orders, and the gods responded in unison, chasing in the direction where Wukong’s clones and Zi Lan Fairy were fleeing.

“Sun Wukong, so you want to save Zi Lan? Let’s see if you can remain as composed when Zi Lan falls into peril!”

The battle between Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha continued, with the Buddha suppressing his power, thus struggling to capture Wukong quickly. But Wukong couldn’t break through the Buddha’s blockade either, and could only watch helplessly as his clones and Zi Lan Fairy were pursued and heavily surrounded by a host of gods.

“Attack! Destroy this demon monkey’s clone and capture Zi Lan Fairy!”

“By the Emperor’s decree, Zi Lan Fairy must not be allowed to take even half a step out of the Heavenly Court!”

A barrage of attacks rained down on Sun Wukong’s clones and the Zi Lan Fairy in his arms.
