Chapter 335: Chapter 316: A Drink and A Peck Are Preordained

The Immortal Yang Mei temporarily fended off Xuan Ming’s ultimate skill with the Great Destruction Technique, but Xuan Ming launched another attack with the Heavenly Origin One Finger.

"Ninety-Nine Return to Origin, Heavenly Origin One Finger!" With an impassive face, Xuan Ming pointed a finger and the universe centered on this finger point; it was the only real existence between heaven and earth, with all else being void.

"Shatter for me!"

The Heavenly Origin One Finger pierced directly through the defense of the Great Destruction Technique, shattering the laws of Great Destruction into dust.

The Heavenly Origin One Finger was just that domineering; in the heavens above and the earth below, I alone am revered. My finger is the center of the universe, the origin of everything, the central point on the chessboard, the existence that controls all! However, this time Immortal Yang Mei was prepared, summoning the Hollow Willow and employing the Great Protection Technique. Precious light rose all around, impenetrable to all laws. The Heavenly Origin One Finger struck the precious light and both forces dissipated at the same instant.

Meanwhile, Wukong was battling the fourth Demon God and endured the assault of the Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder. Wukong used a spell to Return to the Origin, refining the Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder into threads of the Power of Creation and capturing them—thus breaking the ultimate skill that the four Demon Gods relied upon. Only Wukong could withstand this Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder; if it were another Great Dao Sage, they wouldn’t die under the divine thunder but would certainly be gravely injured. The power of this divine thunder was immense, its Annihilation Force endless. Had Wukong’s Dao Technique not been exquisite, he would have been consumed by hatred.

"Sun Wukong, who would have thought you’d be so formidable, to the point even the Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder could not harm you!" the fourth Demon God exclaimed in horror while spitting out black Demonic Blood.

At this point, the situation had grown highly unfavorable for them. Struck by Wukong’s Namo Demon-Subduing Fist just a moment ago, their Primordial Spirits were now fissured like spiderwebs, dense cracks in abundance.

Wukong sneered, "Last time you devastated the Earth Immortal Realm with an overwhelming stance, this time, naturally, we’ll utterly destroy you in an overwhelming manner as well."

The battlefield of the Heavenly Dao Saints and Primordial Golden Immortals was intensely fierce, with hundreds to thousands falling every second. The roars of Heavenly Demons, the screams of cultivators, the clashes of magical treasures—all of these together dotted the Chaotic World with specks of brilliance interweaving.

"Kill, Great Destruction Divine Fist!"

The fourth Demon God spit a mouthful of Essence Blood onto his fist, condensing a talisman, and hurled it toward Wukong.

"Grand Yin Yang Technique, Great Yin Yang Divine Fist, the origin of all things!"

Wukong’s left hand held yin, his right hand held yang. He drew a Taiji Circle and converged it onto his right fist, condensing it into a Taiji Talisman.

"Hum!"

Massive waves swept through, the Chaos churned like waves within the ocean. A terrifyingly unparalleled force was set in motion.

Destruction was the existence that annihilated everything, while yin and yang were what birthed all things. They were contradictions—unsure whether the spear was sharper or the shield sturdier.

The Great Yin Yang Talisman and the Great Destruction Talisman collided, resulting in a thunderous boom. Two opposing and contradictory forces erupted at that moment, attacking each other. The power of Great Destruction was overbearing, while the power of Great Yin Yang was supple and full. They were entirely different in nature.

"Shatter for me!" Wukong roared, his voice echoing as he exhaled a dense stream of vital energy, transforming it into a dragon dancing in the Nine Heavens.

When one’s understanding of a Dao Technique reaches its zenith to see through its origin, one can condense the technique’s talisman and unleash its greatest power! This was the same principle with Xuan Ming condensing the Great Slaughter Talisman, having peered into the origin of slaughter and achieving profound insight into the Slaughter Technique.

The thick vital energy surged like a sea of smoke, countless talismans flickering as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, continuously bombarding, shattering, and exploding.

"Kill! Die!" the fourth Demon God bellowed, a chain of talismans detonating, the force of annihilation obliterating everything. Then, the Great Destruction Talisman burst forth, followed by the Great Curse Talisman taking shape and exploding too.

Wukong brought his hands together, declaring loudly, "Moksha, Moksha, Namo Moksha! Fighting Sage, the ultimate deity, the master of Buddhist Law, where all evil fails to penetrate, where no law can enter! In the eyes of the Fighting Sage, all things are like the fleeting illusions of dreams and bubbles, disappearing in an instant. Only the immovable True Self is eternal, forever! Eternally unmoving!"

Under the scouring of boundless power, Wukong’s hands remained joined, his countenance dignified and unflinching. He emitted the light of Seven Treasures, and those forces of destruction, annihilation, curse, and slaughter seemed like the Karmic Fire during Buddha’s Nirvana—bringing endless pain to the Buddha, yet enabling him to be reborn from the ashes like a Phoenix!

"All phenomena are like illusions; the True Self is undying and eternal." Wukong’s body shone with a golden light.

"Damn it! Are you using my ultimate skill as Karmic Fire to polish your Buddhist Golden Body? You truly deserve to die, deserve to die!" the fourth Demon God roared in anger.

"Lustrous Purifying Fire, cleansing all; Ninety-Nine Return to Origin, all to the source! Six Paths of Reincarnation, all beings can’t escape; Yin and Yang merge, birthing myriad things! Three Thousand Worlds, Creation reigns supreme; myriad principles, controlled by Creation alone!" Wukong pressed his palms together, unleashing the mighty spells of Lustrous Purifying Fire, Ninety-Nine Return to Origin, Grand Yin Yang Technique, Great Reincarnation Technique, and the Great Creation Technique. Every move was a powerful killing blow, bursting forth in that moment.

Talismans flickered with light, a series chasing down their targets. Infinite power accompanied by Immeasurable Buddha Light—such was the might of the Turning Wheel Sage King!

"Sage King’s War Chariot, crushing all beneath!" Wukong snapped his fingers, and a vast war chariot tens of thousands of zhang in size materialized, its wheels spinning like thunder, rolling towards Demon God Number Four.

Demon God Number Four stood no chance; bombarded by a series of talismans, it was beaten into a bloody pulp in an instant, its Primordial Spirit Thoughts shattering one by one! It initially had the upper hand, thanks solely to its Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder, but now that even the thunder was neutralized, its time to die had come.

"Bang!"

Struck by the Sage King’s War Chariot, Demon God Number Four was sent flying, both arms snapping, exposing bone and flesh turning to powder.

"Good, after I kill you, I’ll deal with Immortal Yang Mei, and then slaughter your remaining three companions. With that, the Immeasurable Calamity will be lifted! Farewell, Demon God Number Four!" Wukong formed a mysterious Dharma Seal with his hands, "Namo Boundless Subjugation Demon Silence Great Method!"

"Fighting Sage King, eternally invincible!"

With every step the Fighting Sage King took, heaven and earth trembled, his will embodying the Great Dao, his thoughts Creation!

"Victorious Fighting Fist!"

Thundering forth with a punch, the Fighting Sage King truly embodied eternal invincibility, victorious in battle. With that single punch, the tsunami of indomitable will surged, engulfing Demon God Number Four’s form! It struggled desperately, its demonic body swelling to tens of thousands of zhang, but kept wearing away under the Victorious Fighting Fist of the Fighting Sage King, disintegrating into ashes, into dust, blown away by the chaotic currents.

"Ah! I can’t accept this, Sun Wukong, how can you be so strong? This power, almost transcending the Great Dao, what kind of power is this? I cannot accept this!" Demon God Number Four screamed frantically, attempting a desperate counter by disintegrating its own body and unleashing its Divine Thought Thunder.

In that punch, it truly felt impending death, beyond revival, something even the Great Dao Principles couldn’t reverse—it would have to reform as a new Great Dao Demon God, led not by its consciousness but a new life. Even a Great Dao Demon God feared eternal death; death is unknown, and its immense terror is something no one can fully understand—not even Wukong, master of Reincarnation, could claim to have seen through death.

Demon God Number Four’s body continued to fracture, trying to undergo Corporeal Disintegration, but Wukong hit down with another palm, much like Tathagata once did to him—dominant, wild, mighty, wise. With this palm, Demon God Number Four’s physical form was pulverized, leaving no trace behind.

"Thinking of exploding your Primordial Spirit under the suppression of my Victorious Fighting Fist? Celestial Talismans, suppress!"

Wukong’s fingers became like swords, pointing towards the numerous Primordial Spirit Thoughts of Demon God Number Four, and suddenly, each talisman transformed into heaven itself, eternal and suppressing. In that moment, Wukong opened his mouth to release the Thirty-Three Heavens Divine Artifact. All talismans clung to it, fiercely suppressing with force!

"Ahhh! Why can’t I even self-destruct! Sun Wukong, don’t kill me, I can be your slave!" Demon God Number Four pleaded loudly.

"Hmph! Do you think your grandpa Sun is a fool? You’re controlled by the Great Dao, and our conflict is to the death. Serve me as a slave? Even the Great Dao Principles won’t let you off the hook! Rest in peace! The seed sown in a former life, reaped as fruit in this life, this is the evil result you’ve earned!" Wukong roared with Buddhist Lion’s Roar, shattering all thoughts of Demon God Number Four, making it impossible to gather together again, unable to resist the oppression of the Thirty-Three Heavens Divine Artifact and the Celestial Talismans.

Each talisman became a heaven, thirty-three in total, reflecting the splendor of the Thirty-Three Heavens Divine Artifact, each with its mystery.

Wukong had an epiphany, forming the Karma Great Seal and slowly said, "Creation held high, worlds are three thousand; traces to follow, all due to karma! Karma is omnipresent, with no place to rely on. This... is the ultimate sublime technique of the Buddhist Sect, the supremely named Buddhist Law—Great Karma Technique!"

"Number Four!"

"Number Four, hang on!"

The other three Demon Gods shouted, urging Number Four to hold on, wanting to free themselves to help, but they were utterly powerless! Moreover, Demon God Number Three was being bombarded to near destruction by Hong Jun’s Great Primordial Technique, but for Hong Jun to kill it as quickly as Wukong was doing proved difficult.

Under the mysteries of the Great Karma Technique, Demon God Number Four struggled incessantly but to no avail and felt an overwhelming sense of being suppressed.

The fate of Demon God Number Four remains uncertain, but more will be revealed in the next Chapter. (To be continued. If you like this work, please head to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote, monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
