Chapter 266: Chapter 255: The Great Dao Demon God Suffers Setbacks in a Row

Wukong, in a moment of crisis, summoned a feather of Di Jun, transforming it into Di Jun’s Dharma Body and with a single palm strike, exterminated the four-headed Chaos Heaven Demon, but this action alarmed the Great Dao Demon God.

This Great Dao Demon God awakened and naturally sensed Wukong’s aura. Utilizing an Escape Technique, it followed after him.

At this moment, it truly was the most dangerous moment since Wukong’s debut, facing the terrifying Great Dao Sage! Although Wukong once battled Primordial Golden Immortals as a Daluo Golden Immortal, crossing ranks, the division between Heavenly Dao and Great Dao is an enormous watershed, akin to a chasm. The gap is too significant, and even with a million-fold strength, it could not be bridged.

Now, it indeed was a matter of life and death!

Wukong saw a gigantic palm pressing down, as if to capture him, and had no choice but to summon another feather.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Body appeared, towering at ninety thousand zhang, immediately unleashing the Great Hand Seal, Heavenly Emperor Sword technique, and other Dharma Gates. For a time, Sword Qi crisscrossed for thirty thousand li, and the hand seals seemed to lift the very chaos itself. All Dharma Gates struck the descending giant hand, and this sudden strike made the Great Dao Demon God utter a painful roar, retracting its hand. Wukong wasted no time and utilized this opportunity to flee a million eight thousand li further away.

The Great Dao Demon God was also startled into wakefulness, its mind still hazy with chaos, and its mana was not at peak condition, which was why it suffered this major loss.

However, Great Dao Sages are immortal and indestructible beings, with the exception of this Great Dao Demon God.

Should this world be destroyed, the Great Dao Demon God would be eradicated by the Great Dao Principles, and the same fate awaited Chaos Heaven Demons, until a powerful being cultivates out of the chaos, splitting heaven and earth. Thereafter, the Great Dao Principles will naturally conceive a Chaos Demon God, who generally slumbers for a Hui Yuan. Only when a Hui Yuan’s Immeasurable Calamity starts does it awaken. And the catastrophe of splitting heaven and earth is, at most, at the level of Chaos Heaven Demon of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm.

Di Jun’s feather could only dissolve one crisis. Once the Great Hand Seal was issued and pushed back the Great Dao Demon God’s hand, it disappeared again.

Seizing the chance, Wukong fled frantically, and the purple talisman flew increasingly faster, already sensing such a crisis.

In an instant, the Great Dao Demon God had caught up again!

Wukong remained very confident in his own Escape Technique. Now as a Heavenly Dao Saint, traveling vast distances with a single Somersault Cloud should have been simple. But unexpectedly, the Great Dao Demon God caught up in a moment, showcasing its terrifying strength.

"Ant, you’ve angered me!" The Great Dao Demon God roared furiously, instilling a sense of awe.

This was the Great Dao Demon Sound, different but equally effective as Diting’s Six Paths Divine Sound. However, compared to the Six Paths Divine Sound, the Great Dao Demon Sound was still superior. Wukong immediately felt his head grow heavy, his Primordial Spirit trembled, his Three Flowers and Five Qi became disarrayed, and he nearly fell off his Somersault Cloud.

Looking back, Wukong saw the Great Dao Demon God shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes flickering with red light, emitting an exceedingly gloomy aura, gaunt and terrifying to behold.

As it reached out a hand to capture Wukong, Wukong let out a soft shout, exerting his strength and summoning the last feather.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Body appeared again, each feather more powerful than the last. This Dharma Body, also ninety thousand zhang tall, struck down with a palm, sending the Great Dao Demon God flying. Then, converging his body, he pounced forward, delivering the Heavenly Emperor Fist, radiating a dominating aura that shook the wilderness, cracking open the chaos, and causing the Great Dao Demon God to spurt blood violently.

Beings of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm cannot be completely eradicated, especially Great Dao Demon Gods. In fact, without falling into slumber, as soon as one is killed, the Great Dao Principles immediately revive them. Hence, Hong Jun and Di Jun have been contemplating how to preserve this world.

However, it appears to be extremely difficult. In the short term, Tong Tian might be able to attain sainthood by intercepting the Three Thousand Great Paths, but for Wukong to seek the path of the Turning Wheel Sage King is too arduous.

He and the Victorious Fighting Buddha share the same origin, so naturally, the Victorious Fighting Buddha must find this path. Once the Victorious Fighting Buddha becomes the Turning Wheel Sage King, he will possess the strength of a Great Dao Sage. Wukong would likewise advance, and if they were to merge, they might become the strongest Great Dao Sage in the world! Of course, something as intangible and unpredictable as the Turning Wheel Sage King is too uncertain, leaving even the most knowledgeable of Buddhist Law, Amitabha Buddha and Zhun Ti Taoist, at a loss.

This Great Dao Demon God was rudely awakened, not having completed its slumber of one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. Its mana was still inadequate, which is why it suffered this way. Yet, even so, it remained more than capable of crushing Wukong, this Heavenly Dao Saint, with a single hand.

After catching its breath for a moment, the Great Dao Demon God charged forth again. Being hit by Di Jun’s Dharma Body twice and suffering two setbacks, it felt both embarrassed and frustrated.

"Boom!"

When the Great Dao Demon God made a move, it was earth-shattering, the demonic might overwhelming, and boundless Demonic Qi surged forth, casting down visions to suppress everything.

Within Wukong, the Great Dao Golden Lotus suddenly trembled, with Three Thousand Great Paths quivering simultaneously around him, blocking all the boundless Demonic Qi on the outside.

Flashing red light intensified in the eyes of the Great Dao Demon God, who said, "Creation Golden Lotus... The prophesied Creation Golden Lotus of the Great Dao, are you the chosen successor of the Creation Golden Lotus?"

The Great Dao Demon God had hardly finished speaking before he suddenly launched a vicious attack, seemingly recognizing the Great Dao Golden Lotus.

A jolt went through Wukong’s heart, ’What exactly is this prophecy by the Great Dao?’ However, it wasn’t the time to speculate about the words of the Great Dao Demon God. His priority was to escape the latter’s pursuit and successfully enter the Earth Immortal Realm; otherwise, he would be crushed to death!

Clearly, the one who ripped through the sky to kill Wukong last time wasn’t this Great Dao Demon God but another. It was unknown how many Great Dao Demon Gods this Chaotic World had nurtured. When the Calamity of Yuan began, could only Hong Jun and Di Jun, the two Great Dao Sages, withstand it? Add Tong Tian to the mix, and it would still be an extremely perilous battle. ’The Dao extends in forty-nine ways; take one as the escape.’ The sliver of survival this time wasn’t so easy to grasp.

The Great Dao Demon God operated the Great Dao Principles, gathering Chaos Qi. All around, chaos turned into a sea of lightning, with the power of thunder and lightning emerging. This whole Chaotic World seemed to be nothing but Chaos Divine Thunder!

Three Thousand Great Paths surrounded Wukong, enveloping him within. The Chaos Divine Thunder pressed in from all sides but was blocked by the Three Thousand Great Paths.

With a roar of anger, the Great Dao Demon God threw a punch with a surge of thousand thunder lights. As his fist moved, the faint sound of thunder and wind roared in its wake.

"Bang!"

When the Great Dao Demon God’s fist landed on the Three Thousand Great Paths, it shattered them instantly, reduced to dust and gathered into the Great Dao Golden Lotus. At that moment, Wukong was sent flying out, spitting blood, with his Three Flowers and Five Qi in disarray, and his Primordial Spirit almost exiting his body.

"Heavenly Dao Saints and Great Dao Saints are incomparable! Daluo Golden Immortals might have a chance to overcome Primordial Golden Immortals across ranks, but the gulf between the realms of Saints is just too vast. One belongs to the Great Dao, the other to the Heavenly Dao; they’re simply incomparable! The Heavenly Dao is under the control of the Great Dao." Wukong coughed up blood repeatedly; the injuries from the Great Dao erupted, causing his Primordial Spirit intense pain.

The Great Dao Demon God would not give Wukong any chance to breathe, nor would he waste words.

He lunged directly at Wukong, slashing down with a palm strike!

"Boom!"

This palm strike aimed straight for Wukong’s face, full of immense power and towering Demonic Qi, sure to crush him and his Primordial Spirit alike to dust.

Right at this moment, a flash of Buddha’s Light twinkled, and an overwhelmingly vast collective will of sentient beings descended, blocking the Great Dao Demon God’s palm.

"Just in time." Wukong breathed a sigh of relief within his heart.

Upon leaving the Earth Immortal Realm, he had sent the Victorious Fighting Buddha to find Hong Jun and Di Jun, in case he encountered any misfortune in the Chaotic World. They were to rescue him and give assistance at a critical moment. Now, his calculations had paid off, saving his life.

The collective will of sentient beings was immensely vast, as more and more people in the Ultimate Bliss World believed in the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Over the years, he had gathered a significant amount of will. Now, seeing Wukong nearly perish at the hands of the Great Dao Demon God, he didn’t hold back at all, sacrificing all of the collective will, which then merged with the two Primordial Spirit Thoughts hidden within and detonated explosively.

The Great Dao Demon God was slightly taken aback and was about to strike Wukong with another palm, but Wukong seized the opportunity to escape.

Opportunities were fleeting. If one did not prepare in advance and grasp them promptly, one would always miss out, just like painting a pie. Tathagata could be considered an opportunist, quite adept at exploiting even Saints to avoid many a death calamity.

Then, at that moment, the collective will explosively detonated, triggered by the two Primordial Spirit Thoughts hidden by the Victorious Fighting Buddha, turning into Divine Thunder!

The Victorious Fighting Buddha held nothing back, using all of the collective will at once. This was a Great Dao Sage Level Demon God they faced; even a moment’s hesitation could mean both of their deaths.

"Rumble!"

The explosion of collective will was no small force. The Great Dao Demon God’s flesh, though tough, was blasted open by this mighty will, sending Demonic Blood scattering.

"Good, good, good, to actually injure me thrice, what skill you possess!" The Great Dao Demon God roared in rage, continuing his pursuit of the Victorious Fighting Buddha and Wukong.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha, having borrowed some Magical Treasures from Hong Jun, saw the Great Dao Demon God approaching. He turned and threw a Talisman. The Talisman, once activated, exploded immediately, creating a sea of fire, mingled with the essence of the Innate Five Elements Divine Fire, Innate Separation Fire, solar quintessence, and the essence of the darkest True Fire... almost all sorts of Divine Fire’s essence were gathered within it, exploding violently. And with that, chaos ensued!

The Great Dao Demon God was thwarted again, howling furiously in response.

He drove the surrounding Chaos Qi to extinguish the flames and continued the pursuit.

"It’s close, just a bit more time!" the Victorious Fighting Buddha said.
