Chapter 369: Chapter 334: Strange Lu Ya Comes Knocking on Death’s Door

"Legend tells of Wukong merging with the Creation Imprint, desiring to control Creation and become an invincible entity unprecedented throughout the ages."

"At this moment, the Creation Jade Butterfly was slowly integrating into his body, fusing with his Primordial Spirit Thoughts. He felt as though his Primordial Spirit Thoughts were the Creation Laws themselves, capable of governing the entire Creation World! His eyes swirled with stars and celestial bodies, and the past, present, and future all evolved within them."

"The Ancient Heavenly Dragon felt an overwhelming pressure and couldn’t help but prostrate himself, not daring to lift his head, such was the terror of this power."

"This was oppression from the origin, from the Creation Laws. Semi-Supremes relied on the Creation Laws for their achievements, thus they revered the Creation Laws the most naturally."

"’Haha, haha! My good disciple, your teacher has arrived late!’ At this time, a streak of firelight swept across, and it was Lu Ya standing in the void."

"’A Semi-Supreme?’ The Ancient Heavenly Dragon was also slightly stunned. This Semi-Supreme was extremely powerful, almost a match for him, and yet he had never seen him before. Those ancient Semi-Supremes he almost all recognized, even those sequestered in meditation, he could name."

"Right now, Wukong was in a state of self-forgetfulness, sinking and floating. His Primordial Spirit was striving to merge with the Creation Imprint. He had already sensed the danger brought by the three Creation Supremes and needed to fuse with the Creation Imprint quickly, to become a peak powerhouse surpassing the Creation Supremes. Then he would slay them, revolutionize the world, and sweep away its poisons."

"It turns out, after Lu Ya had entered the Creation World, he was transported to an ancient Flame Mountain. This Ancient Flame Mountain was filled with Innate Separation Fire essences, Innate Five Elements True Fire, and so on... Lu Ya, being transformed from the essence of Separation Fire, encountered such a great opportunity. If he didn’t make progress, he would be worse than a pig!"

"Blessed with unique advantages, after harshly cultivating for more than a hundred thousand years, he refined the entire Ancient Flame Mountain, achieving the rank of Semi-Supreme, and his combat power was extremely formidable."

"’Lu Ya!’ Wukong murmured in his heart, ’Ancient Heavenly Dragon, help me block him for a moment. In just a moment more, it will be as easy for me to crush him as it would be to crush an ant.’"

"Wukong was at a critical juncture, needing to completely merge the Creation Imprint, and required the Ancient Heavenly Dragon to block Lu Ya."

"Lu Ya had also heard of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s name and was shocked. He said, ’Ancient Heavenly Dragon, have you actually become his subordinate?’"

"The Ancient Heavenly Dragon brought his palms together and said indifferently, ’Fighting Sage King! Donor, you are mistaken. I am not a subordinate, but a disciple, merely learning Buddhist Law from Teacher Sage King.’"

"Lu Ya sneered, ’I am also a Buddha Ancestor in my own right, the Great Sun Tathagata!’"

"The Ancient Heavenly Dragon said, ’Your esoteric Buddhist Law is like a drop in the ocean compared to my exoteric Buddhism, incomparable! The esoteric Buddhist Law is too superficial, how could you understand the profound mysteries of the Mahayana Buddhism under Fighting Sage King?’"

"Lu Ya laughed strangely, ’Aren’t you a monk halfway through life? Make way for me at once, or I’ll turn you into roasted dragon!’"

"The Ancient Heavenly Dragon, unable to contain his anger, thought that Lu Ya was unbelievably audacious to speak to him in such a manner. He immediately spread his hands and launched the Ancient Dragon Fist. Nine fierce and tyrannical moves exploded forth—’Fire Dragon Soars, Stirring Clouds and Wind’, ’White Dragon Overturns the Sea and Floods the Divine Land’, ’Azure Dragon Spits Pearls, Radiating Life’... These techniques were even more formidable than those executed before, now with added vigor, dominance, and righteousness!"

"Buddha’s Light shone brightly, and the punch’s power surged forth, causing Lu Ya’s face to change drastically."

"Lu Ya pondered, ’I thought that refining the Ancient Flame Mountain would make me invincible amongst Semi-Supremes, but I never expected the Ancient Heavenly Dragon to be such a formidable being! If I want to kill him, it would be far from easy, and I might even suffer heavy injuries. Moreover, with that fellow practising some formidable Dharma Gate, once he completes his practice and they join forces, I would only be able to retreat and might even suffer a great loss! It would be better to bypass this Ancient Heavenly Dragon and directly slay that fellow!’"

"Lu Ya harbored a bone-deep hatred for Wukong, with all his efforts having gone down the drain, his prestige turned to dust, and now having cultivated his way back, even achieving Semi-Supreme and encountering an incredible opportunity, naturally, he had come to settle scores with Wukong!"

"Dear readers, do not ask how Lu Ya found Wukong. The methods of a Semi-Supreme are not for mortals to comprehend."

"On one hand, Lu Ya was dealing with the Ancient Heavenly Dragon, while on the other, he was looking for a chance to make a move on Wukong."

"How could the Ancient Heavenly Dragon not see through Lu Ya’s intentions? After living countless eons, he was keenly perceptive. A flicker of Lu Ya’s eye and he understood his intention—to bypass him and kill Wukong! However, his combat strength was also immensely powerful; how could he let Lu Ya succeed?"

"’Revolutionary Divine Fist!’ The Ancient Heavenly Dragon called out softly. With a thunderous punch, he forced Lu Ya to retreat repeatedly."

"Driven by the will of revolution and recognized for his devotion, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s Revolutionary Divine Fist came from that recognition, possessing astonishing might and inflicting minor injuries on Lu Ya with a single strike."

"’Good! Very good! Great Burning Heaven Technique, lift the fire and scorch the heavens!’ Lu Ya let out a long howl, summoning the Ancient Flame Mountain, as boundless flames surged forth, turning into fiery Phoenixes."

"’Divine Phoenix Slaughters the Dragon! Immortal Phoenix Fights the Flood Dragon!’ Lu Ya formed a spell, commanding two fiery Phoenixes in their attack. The temperature of the flames was terrifying, so hot that even the Creation Laws were vaporized into wisps of energy."

"The Ancient Heavenly Dragon retreated repeatedly, raising the flag of the Clear Sky and Bright Sun around himself, thinking, ’This Lu Ya does have some skill, worthy of having transformed from the essence of Innate Separation Fire! To have refined such an immense Ancient Flame Mountain, where all the flames are at his command, he is indeed quite troublesome!’"

"Huh!"

Lu Ya’s mouth spewed out endless flames; each had its own color and was incredibly enchanting, the temperature frighteningly high.

"White Dragon Overturns the Sea and Floods the Divine Land! Break it for me!" The Ancient Heavenly Dragon suddenly unleashed a punch, transforming into a white dragon emerging from the sea, spouting infinite waves. Wave after wave pressed on, but they were all evaporated by these flames.

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon thought to himself, "Lu Ya’s fire is still not as fierce as the Sage King’s Liuli Pure Fire, which can even burn water! Once the Sage King has fully integrated the Creation Imprint, Lu Ya won’t be able to escape! This person is truly strange, coming uninvited to court death under these circumstances. Hehe, hehehe!"

With a series of queer laughs in his heart, Lu Ya felt a chill down his spine when he saw his creepy expression.

"Bang!"

Wukong’s head blossomed with three flowers of life, his chest surged with five breaths, and then the Three Flowers and Five Qi merged into one at this moment.

"All Three Flowers and Five Qi merged? This is a technique of the Creation Supreme. Was he actually assaulting towards becoming the Creation Supreme?" Seeing this, Lu Ya was even more astounded and immediately attacked Wukong, only to be punched and made to spit blood by the Ancient Heavenly Dragon. Still, he insisted on slaying Wukong first.

Just then, Wukong suddenly opened his eyes, and Lu Ya felt as if all the laws of creation throughout his body were immediately held in stasis.

Wukong sneered, "Lu Ya, I originally intended to let you live a few more days, but you couldn’t wait to come knocking on death’s door! This time, you’ve coursed your demise! Creation Supreme? Even the present Creation Supremes are no match for me! I have surpassed the Creation Supreme. I am Creation, and Creation is me!"

Lu Ya was fixed in the void, captured by just a glance from Wukong, truly terrifying!

"Ah!"

Lu Ya screamed repeatedly, twisting his body yet unable to move, and bellowed in shock, "Impossible, impossible! What fortuitous adventure did you have? How could you have such a terrifying fate, to become not only the Creation Supreme in such a short time, but even more powerful than that? Impossible!!!"

Wukong said indifferently, "Had you not been relentlessly oppressing, exploiting, and demeaning me, perhaps I wouldn’t have come this far! It’s precisely because of your oppression that you’ve honed my revolutionary will, allowing me to steadfastly follow the path of revolution, winning Creation’s favor over me! It entrusted me with the mantle of revolution, granting me also the Creation Imprint! From today on, I will control Creation, carrying the revolutionary will of Creation, to revolutionize the land, cleanse the poison, and let all beings be equal, escape the Sea of Suffering, and live under the sunshine."

Yet Lu Ya raged, "The Buddhist Sect proposes compassion!"

Wukong stated calmly, "On the road of revolution, shedding blood is inevitable! Countless revolutionary forerunners have fallen. To succeed in revolution, one needs great strength and resolve! One must not hold back when dealing with enemies! So, no matter how silver-tongued you are, Lu Ya, you must die!"

It was at this moment that Lu Ya truly felt an immense dread, a great sense of life and death!

"No, don’t! I am Lu Ya, an existence that lasts eternal; I am a Semi-Supreme, destined to achieve Creation Supreme—how could I die here? How could I perish at the hands of a traitor like you? I have sects to clean up!" Lu Ya’s eyes nearly burst, his eye sockets cracking and bleeding.

"No chance left. Cause and effect, there is a cycle, a peck and a drink due. Today, you reap the evil fruits!" With a palm, Wukong pushed Lu Ya into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, stripped of all his Mana, then left him to suffer all torture and pain within the Hell.

"Well said, well said!" The Ancient Heavenly Dragon clasped his hands together and said, "Truly, Lu Ya does not appreciate favors."

Wukong, holding a string of prayer beads, said slowly, "Revolution demands bloodshed; it’s the enemy’s blood that must flow, not that of our comrades. I have now completely merged with the Creation Imprint, and those three Creation Supremes won’t be able to hop around for much longer. I’m off to kill them now, and then I’ll purge the land."

Lu Ya, within the Eighteen Levels of Hell, continued to scream in agony and underwent severe torture.

"Pop!"

With a crisp sound, after undergoing reincarnation for 9,999 times, Lu Ya finally exploded, turning into nothingness—his tens of thousands of years of cultivation, in the end, amounted to naught.

A poem as proof, the poem says: "Evil causes bring evil retributions, without planting good seeds how can good fruits be reaped? Innate Separation Fire is wondrous indeed, yet the Dao Lord ultimately cannot escape calamity."

Wukong clapped his hands and said, "You should return to your Heavenly Dragon Sect to consolidate your resources. When the time comes, they will help spark the revolutionary blaze, igniting a raging wildfire! I’ll first head to the depths of the universe, to exterminate the three great cancers, and then I can cleanse the land."

Having said that, Wukong set off alone toward the depths of the universe to kill the three Supreme Beings.
