Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 531: Birth and Death Transformation (Second Update!)

The terrifying wave of flames spread out, but a glint of joy flashed through Sun Wukong's eyes. He once again felt that instantaneous transformation from life to destruction. The power of destruction that this antithetical transformation generated was several times stronger than the original strength. Even the flame protective shield formed by the Chaos Fire seemed incapable of holding up against it, giving off a feeling that it was about to shatter.

"I've understood it now!"

A sudden enlightenment struck Sun Wukong's mind. The boundary between life and death might not be as vast as he imagined. In many cases, life and death could transform into one another and even generate greater strength in the process of transformation!

Eager to verify his own thoughts, Sun Wukong could not bother to entangle with the Fire Demon Spirit anymore. Completely disregarding whether the Chaos Fire's protective shield could withstand it or not, he burst through the wall of flames and charged at the Fire Demon Spirit the moment the three fireballs exploded. In his hand, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, carrying the power of the Heaven-Breaking Domain and the highly compressed Chaos Fire, thundered down on the Fire Demon Spirit.

"Transformation of life and death!"

"Die for me, old Sun!"

The Chaos Fire, as the source of all fires, also had the capability to nurture all things. It contained an extremely powerful force of creation and regeneration. Sun Wukong had always utilized this regenerative power from the Chaos Fire to combat his enemies, but at that moment he suddenly transformed the regenerative power of the Chaos Fire into the power of destruction. In that instant of transformation, a mighty destructive power burst forth, completely enveloping the Fire Demon Spirit.

The body of the Fire Demon Spirit was blown a thousand zhang away by that strike, and not only that, it was wrapped in a strong destructive power. Its originally impenetrable body began to shatter inch by inch under the erosion of the destructive power, issuing a piercing scream. Eventually, in the midst of the screams, it was completely annihilated, turned into nothingness.

"It's finally over!"

Sun Wukong let out a long sigh of relief. This had been the most difficult battle since he entered the World Tree, having fought for three days and nights, exhausting his strength once, and then replenishing it with the Chaos Divine Pearl. But the harvest was also incredibly significant!

Between the two starkly opposing forces of life and destruction, there was a critical point. Crossing this critical point allowed the transformation of life force into the power of destruction in an instant, and vice versa!

No matter how the transformation occurred, an immensely powerful destructive force would be generated during the process. The Fire Demon Spirit, which had previously been unbreakable, had been completely obliterated under such destructive power.

With a move, Sun Wukong landed on the platform formed by the tree knots, sitting down to meditate. He needed time to fully absorb and stabilize the enlightenment he had just received, and to take his cultivation to the next level on the basis of his Slaying Three Corpses Sub-Saint foundation!

Life and destruction, these two diametrically opposed forces, continuously transformed within Sun Wukong's body. The strong force of destruction that was born from this was stored in the Chaos Divine Pearl. Furthermore, a portion of it flowed through his meridians to all over his body, causing his flesh, bones, and meridians to shatter once, but to regenerate rapidly at the time of shattering as though his entire body had been replaced.

Wisps of radiant light diffused from Sun Wukong's body, a light that was emitted spontaneously without any energy driving it. Sun Wukong's body was transcending the indestructible body of the Chaotic Divine Body, stepping into a higher level.

"What a marvelous feeling, is this Enlightenment?"

Sun Wukong silently praised in his heart and continued to maintain a peaceful state of mind, allowing the transforming power produced by the two forces to continually remold his body. Missing this would mean he might never encounter such a fortuitous opportunity again!

Time meant nothing to cultivation, and Sun Wukong's realization and practice spanned fifty years, until eventually, the treasured light on his body began to dim and slowly retract into his body.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and a brilliant gleam like lightning flashed through them while an aura that was profound yet mysterious emanated from his body, seeming entirely natural, as if he had merged with the universe itself.

"The transformation of this power of creation and destruction is truly vast and profound, if I could comprehend it to the Great Achievement Realm, perhaps the Three Corpses Unite with the Dao and Attainment of Saint wouldn't be far off," Sun Wukong sighed. However, he did not continue to cultivate as even though he had found the method, achieving it was not within his current capabilities.

The understanding gained from the great battle with the Fire Demon Spirit had been almost completely assimilated. He needed more combat and better treasures for enhancement—it was time to continue toward the heart of the tree!

With a flicker of his form, Sun Wukong flew up from the node platform of the tree, and after sensing briefly, he flew into a passageway abundant with nature's spiritual energy. The closer he got to the heart of the World Tree, the denser the spiritual energy became, and Sun Wukong was certain his chosen path was correct!

Over a hundred years had passed since his arrival at The Borderlands, and he wondered how Flower-Fruit Mountain was faring now?

Despite having no bad premonitions, Sun Wukong couldn't help but worry about Flower-Fruit Mountain and decided it was time to see what treasures lay at the heart of the tree and then to leave this World Tree.

Continuing along the vascular passageways of the World Tree towards the heart, Sun Wukong once again encountered the Fire Demon Spirit, along with other types of elemental forces that formed demon spirits, each possessing uniquely strange powers. Compared to their counterparts in the Three Realms, they were utterly different, and Sun Wukong exerted considerable effort to dispatch these demon spirits one by one.

Another century passed, and Sun Wukong finally arrived at the heart of the tree. He had expected to find a gigantic node, but what appeared before him made him shockingly widen his eyes.

"This, this is... a starry sky?"

The heart of the tree was a vast expanse of stars, with countless celestial bodies twinkling amidst the incessant flow of stellar spiritual qi.

Just as Sun Wukong stepped from the vascular passageway of the World Tree into the starry sky, he felt an overwhelming force mercilessly press down on him, one his Chaotic Divine Body could not withstand. He felt as if he was about to be shattered, which caused him to hurriedly retreat back into the passageway, where the tremendous pressure disappeared. His body had already developed fine cracks, and had he been just a little slower, he feared he would have been completely crushed into dust, becoming a speck of cosmic dust in this endless starry sky.

"Who would have thought that the heart of the World Tree would be a starry sky, possibly containing countless billions of stars?"

Looking at the boundless starry sky ahead, Sun Wukong was filled with awe; everything before him had utterly surpassed his imagination!
