Chapter 324: Chapter 306: The Great Immortal Suffers a Loss and Eventually Flees

Last time, Wukong and Immortal Yang Mei tried to outsmart each other. In the end, Wukong, favored by Creation’s power, had a slight advantage after comprehending the Grand Yin Yang Technique and managed to trap Immortal Yang Mei in his scheme. Immortal Yang Mei suffered a great loss, with his very origin damaged under the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s steel fists.

Now, Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha became one, unleashing a strike with his staff, unprecedented and unparalleled, simply terrifying beyond compare.

"Immortal Yang Mei, boundless in mana; Great Dao Divine Thunder, crafted by his hand! Great Dao Principles, transformed into lightning; myriad divine thunders, extinguishing all things!"

One could see a terrifying force rising from the palm of Immortal Yang Mei, turning into round and smooth Divine Thunders. These Divine Thunders, formed by the concentration of Great Dao Principles, were tremendously powerful! He did not use the Great Dao Divine Thunder to bombard Wukong but instead struck it into his Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Willow Tree.

"Boom!"

The willow tree of Immortal Yang Mei suddenly went berserk, as if about to burst into flames. Three thousand willow branches radiated an unbelievable glow. A mere glance would trap one in profound enlightenment, reaping immense benefits! Those Divine Thunders, struck into the willow tree by Immortal Yang Mei, turned into a vast formation. The Divine Thunders would explode one by one within it, acting as the willow tree’s momentum to unleash formidable power.

"The technique of transforming the Great Dao into lightning, this person truly has endless trump cards!" Wukong watched intently, deeply astonished in his heart.

When Immortal Yang Mei’s willow tree swung up, performing a "Sky-Consuming Flame," the collision of the staff and the willow tree caused massive fluctuations, shredding the very Chaos, and the Great Dao Principles seemed to be collapsing! Immortal Yang Mei’s complexion paled slightly, and he coughed up blood, while Wukong was also seriously injured. The vast expanse of essential energy above his head, like a sea of smoke, was dispersed in an instant.

"This Immortal Yang Mei is truly formidable. It seems the Power of Creation I have absorbed is still too meager, my mana too shallow! To think that even a surprise attack failed to gain me an advantage." Wukong fully realized this truth in his heart. Today, killing Immortal Yang Mei would be impossible. His endless trump cards meant that even Xuan Ming, who had recently become a Great Dao Sage but had also refined fragments of someone else’s laws, was uncertain of victory against him.

Even though he commanded the Great Slaughter Technique, which ranked him among the formidable within the Great Dao Sages, compared to a veteran like Immortal Yang Mei who had lived for a hundred million years, there was still a long way to go! After all, Immortal Yang Mei had once escaped from the hands of the Creation Supreme. How formidable must he be?

"Great Slaughter Technique! Endless Hell, Eighteen Levels of Hell, Slaughter the world, enter my netherworld." Xuan Ming channeled the Great Slaughter Talismans, and at this moment, Wukong also executed the Great Slaughter Technique, borrowing Xuan Ming’s power to deliver the strongest strike of Slaughter Dao Technique.

The terrifying eighteen layers of hell manifested, with endless torture devices: mountain of knives, sea of fire, pulling tongues, death by boiling - the most brutal executions were all present. The aura of slaughter spread, and at that moment, Wukong turned the Eighteen Levels of Hell into a grand and unparalleled talisman! This talisman bore a simple "Slaughter" character. However, even a mere glance by a Heavenly Dao Saint would probably result in vomiting blood to death on the spot.

The grand "Slaughter" character seemed to encompass an entire universe, suppressing eons, destroying everything.

The Great Slaughter War Spear was also raised at this moment, merging into one with the vast "Slaughter" talisman.

"Slaughter!"

With a loud cry from Wukong, the talisman suppressed all with a single "Slaughter" character, fully expressing the essence of this Dao Technique.

"Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter!"

As if endless demons were howling, a boundless killing intent spread, terrifying and causing hearts to tremble, Immortal Yang Mei kept retreating.

"Well played! Intelligent Stone Monkey, I did not expect you to become so powerful in such a short time. Today, old ancestor I was caught off guard by your calculations, unprepared. Wait until your new world faces the boundless great calamity; that will be the day of your demise!" Immortal Yang Mei, recognizing Wukong’s techniques and having suffered a heavy loss, admitted he was indeed no match for him.

Immortal Yang Mei had taken a severe loss and wanted to regain his footing, but being injured, and with Xuan Ming attacking from the shadows with the Great Slaughter Technique, he could hardly withstand it. It was wiser to retreat for now and seek recompense during the Great Calamity of Yuan.

"Boom!"

The Great Slaughter Law descended, and at that moment, Immortal Yang Mei had already torn through the endless Chaos and fled, leaving behind only a piece of his garment.

Xuan Ming, seeing Immortal Yang Mei had left, stepped forward, saying, "This person is so formidable, even if I have mastered the Great Slaughter Technique, I probably would not last ten moves against him alone! No wonder he is so arrogantly confident; he is indeed capable."

Wukong nodded slightly and said, "His cultivation has improved again, much more formidable than myself. Had it not been for you, I would have fallen as well. Fortunately, he does not know you have achieved the status of a Great Dao Sage. When the Great Calamity of Yuan comes, you hide on the side and catch him unawares. With a thunderous attack, we shall eliminate the Great Dao Demon God, and then his end will be certain!"

On the other side, Immortal Yang Mei had fled countless light-years before he stopped, ensuring that Wukong was not in pursuit.

"Hmph!"

Immortal Yang Mei snorted contemptuously and muttered to himself, "This monkey has indeed become much more formidable, truly deserving of Creation’s favor as an exceptional being! However, when the Primordial Catastrophe strikes and the Demon Gods descend, leaving you all exhausted from the struggle, it will be time for this old ancestor to emerge and take advantage of your weakness, swallowing you and the Great Dao Demon Gods together. Then, I will truly hold the Great Dao in my palm, overturn heaven and earth, and proceed to the Creation World."

The three thousand great worlds each have a gate to the Creation World, but the Chaotic World is an abandoned existence; therefore, the Creation Supreme did not expend the effort to open a gateway to the Creation World. If someone wishes to enter the Chaotic World, the Creation Supreme would employ great magical power to send them in.

"Devouring this person, Creation will favor me, and then I will achieve the status of Creation Supreme, the truly unsurpassed existence! It will also be a good opportunity to settle the score with that Creation Supreme!" Immortal Yang Mei’s eyes sparkled with a vicious light, he calculated viciously in his mind, the loss he had suffered this time was truly irritating to him.

How long had it been since he had suffered such a loss? Last time, although Wukong had ambushed him and inflicted an injury, it was still Wukong who ended up defeated. It had been countless years since he had been forced to flee so disgracefully.

Wukong handed the Great Slaughter War Spear to Xuan Ming, and upon receiving it, Xuan Ming felt an overwhelming aura of slaughter circulating, resonating with the true qi inside his body, allowing him to unleash an extremely powerful fighting strength! The Dao principles operated slowly within, and with a mere gentle raising of magical power, the war spear would emit a thunderous sound reminiscent of tigers and leopards, a roaring akin to that of a great tiger and the reverberations of the Great Dao.

"Excellent! This Great Slaughter War Spear is indeed extraordinary; first, it helped me condense the Great Slaughter Talisman, fully mastering the Great Slaughter Technique! With this spear in hand in future battles, I have no idea how many times my combat power will increase, and your average Great Dao Saint is definitely not my match. More importantly, there is a hint of the power of Creation within it, capable of erasing the existence of Great Dao Saints! This spear truly warrants its status as among the finest of the Great Dao Divine Artifacts! I suspect that even Pangu’s Axe was no better than this back in the day." Xuan Ming caressed the Great Slaughter War Spear, feeling a tinge of awe.

Wukong said, "The Power of Creation can indeed erase Great Dao Saints, and this Great Slaughter War Spear has been elevated to a Great Dao Divine Artifact because I infused a strand of it. When the Primordial Catastrophe arrives, you can catch Immortal Yang Mei off guard, heh heh!"

Xuan Ming responded, "Alright, I’ll return and properly refine this Great Destruction War Spear. I’ll refine it to perfection so it can be freely used."

Together, the two deployed an escape technique and traveled countless light-years before finally sighting the Posa Greater World.

"Why is this world called the Posa Greater World and not the Ultimate Bliss World?" Xuan Ming inquired.

"Posa represents forbearance. The myriad worlds all contain marvels. It also speaks to the merits I earned after becoming the Turning Wheel Sage King, enduring hardships and persistently enlightening beings in a corrupt world, reflecting the Buddhist spirit of great wisdom, compassion, and courage. Choosing this name is to confirm it with my Buddhist law," explained Wukong slowly.

"Hmm..." Xuan Ming pondered after hearing this, now understanding the significance.

Human nature is innately malicious, and sentient beings bear heavy sins; they must endure all kinds of trouble and suffering, hence the concept of forbearance. The Posa World can also be referred to as the World of Forbearance. It signifies endurance.

In this battle with Immortal Yang Mei, Wukong gained many new insights, deepening his understanding of the Great Creation Technique.

Battle is always the best way to enlightenment!

Only through constant fighting can one continue to grow; it hastens one’s development.

The Qiankun Cauldron is indeed a Creation Divine Artifact; even with Wukong’s abilities, it is difficult to activate, and can only be used to refine other magical treasures and elixir pills. It is still unusable as a weapon against enemies! This is perhaps a divine artifact that only the Creation Supreme can deploy; Wukong doesn’t dare to try to stimulate it with great magical power.

Pangu suffered backlash from the Great Dao for forcibly activating a Great Dao Divine Artifact to Split Heaven and Earth. Although Wukong is favored and close to Creation, if he tried to forcibly employ a Creation Divine Artifact, he might suffer its backlash and meet an end with both his life and cultivation extinguished! Creation is a power capable of erasing Great Dao Saints; Wukong wouldn’t dare to take that risk.

"After returning to the Posa Greater World, you must properly retreat and digest the Dao principles, making them your own, and from them, gain some insights into your own path. Otherwise, it will all be like castles in the air, an illusory reflection on the water, and won’t match up to a true Great Dao Saint," Wukong advised, as he flew towards the Posa Greater World with his arm around Xuan Ming’s waist.

Xuan Ming’s advancement relied entirely on the unfortunate fellow Quan Zhilong, a snob who judged people by their appearance.

Xuan Ming said, "Of course I understand. I will corroborate his understanding of the Dao principles with my Path of Slaughter! Then, the Great Slaughter Technique will naturally ascend another level."

Wukong remarked, "Cultivation, indeed, is something one must never slacken! Now that you’ve seen this Immortal Yang Mei, don’t you feel the urge to cultivate again?"

Xuan Ming couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Indeed! He’s so formidable, and I was truly worried you wouldn’t be able to defeat him. I’d better cultivate properly, so I can help you in the future."

"A husband and wife team makes fighting the battles less wearying, right?"

Wukong couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter as he tore through the Heavenly Dao Laws and entered into the Posa Greater World.
