Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 281 - 282: I Am Still Not as Good as Sun Wukong

Chapter 281: Chapter 282: I Am Still Not as Good as Sun Wukong

Within the Celestial Court, there was also keen attention paid to the current Calamity of Measurement on the Journey to the West.

Atop the Ninth Celestial Palace, the Jade Emperor watched the scenes that emerged within the Mystic Gate Mirror, his expression unchanged.

However, the many ministers present couldn’t help but start a buzzing discussion.

"Where did this monkey come from? He looks exactly like Sun Wukong, even possessing a staff like the Jingu Bang!"

"Indeed, and what’s more, this monkey is such that even we cannot see through him. It’s truly inconceivable!"

"Will this monkey cause some kind of trouble?"

"..."

The Jade Emperor sat on the Golden Palace throne, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The numerous Star Lords present might not know, but he somewhat understood that this monkey was likely a creation of the Western Direction.

Sun Wukong was not obedient, and in the long run, his behavior wasn’t beneficial for the Calamity of Measurement on the Journey to the West.

But the Calamity of Measurement on the Journey to the West could not do without Sun Wukong.

Thus, there was only the option to replace him.

But could this monkey truly replace Sun Wukong?

The Jade Emperor was quite curious.

...

Simultaneously,

The Western Direction, which was also paying attention to the Calamity of Measurement,

In the Posa Pure Land, the Great Thunderclap Monastery, within the Great Hero Treasure Hall,

Countless Buddhas gathered.

"Those two monkeys have finally come to blows. As long as the Six-Eared Macaque wins, devouring Sun Wukong, there will be no mishaps in the future Calamity of Measurement on the Journey to the West!"

"As long as the Six-Eared Macaque wins, the Calamity of Measurement on the Journey to the West will be halfway to perfection!"

"But can the Six-Eared Macaque win?"

"..."

The Six-Eared Macaque appears to be not weak in strength, but defeating Sun Wukong easily doesn’t seem to be so straightforward.

Nevertheless, after being instructed by the Two Saints of the West, they are more convinced that the Six-Eared Macaque stands a chance to defeat Sun Wukong.

...

Meanwhile, the two monkeys who were the center of everyone’s attention,

were now constantly battling in the Void.

Boom!

The two exchanged a forceful blow and both retreated.

"You demon, originally I, Old Sun, had thought of leaving, yet you still oppress so excessively. Then you can’t blame me, Old Sun, for being merciless!"

Sun Wukong glared at the Six-Eared Macaque. Just now he had even considered handing over the task of Seeking Scriptures to the Six-Eared Macaque, but the Six-Eared Macaque still refused to relent.

Of course, the Six-Eared Macaque wouldn’t relent; Sun Wukong had to die, a mission given to him by the Two Saints of the West, not for the other to be let go.

As long as Sun Wukong existed, there was the potential for future trouble.

And certainly, the Six-Eared Macaque didn’t want to give Sun Wukong time, a chance to turn the tables.

"Audacious monster, you’re merely an evil spirit, now taking on Old Sun’s appearance. Do you think you can escape unscathed? Don’t be delusional!"

"Originally, I was actually contemplating sparing you, in keeping with the heavens’ mercy for all creatures. But if I let you go, you will likely cause unnecessary trouble for the Three Realms. Old Sun has no choice but to kill you!"

The Six-Eared Macaque looked at Sun Wukong, his words full of provocation.

Although Sun Wukong’s strength seemed to be much greater than he had initially anticipated, he wasn’t without the ability to fight back. If Sun Wukong’s strength were truly phenomenal, he would have likely turned tail and run long ago.

Sun Wukong looked at the Six-Eared Macaque, who had now uttered such words, and couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.

"If we are to fight, why bother with idle chatter!"

"Taking on Old Sun’s appearance, you merely aim to replace me, to undertake that Journey to the Western Heaven to seek the scriptures. It seems you wish to completely annihilate me, to fully take my place!"

"Since that’s the case, you will be the first to witness Old Sun’s true power!"

Sun Wukong looked up slightly, and a tremendous power began to manifest at that moment.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang he held in his hand also shone brilliantly at this moment, dazzling with divine light, an infinite power radiating from the staff.

A significant time had passed since he acquired the Jingu Bang.

But after acquiring it, he had hardly used it. After assuring there were no issues with the Jingu Bang, it had remained hidden, just like his strength, by Sun Wukong.

Now this Six-Eared Macaque wanted to replace him, and he was to be utterly annihilated, a grand scheme laid by the Western Direction.

Unfortunately, they could not fathom his current level of strength.

As the mighty power spread,

even time and space seemed to solidify at this moment, as if Sun Wukong’s power was now sufficient to affect time and space.

Even the Six-Eared Macaque, who was at a distance, now had his forehead drenched with fine beads of sweat.

He could feel an immensely powerful force.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The Six-Eared Macaque naturally had some speculations about Sun Wukong’s strength.

Given Sun Wukong’s talents, plus so much time, his strength would certainly have increased.

However, he only assumed that Sun Wukong had reached the peak of the Early Stage of the Golden Immortal. He never imagined that he might have already reached the Early Stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This was something he had never anticipated.

The strength of Sun Wukong was terrifying.

It is known that the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult the progress.

Just taking one step further would mean a vast difference between the two sides.

At this moment, Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang swept out from his hand, its sweeping force seemingly shattering the very void and obliterating chaos!

Above the void, countless fissures spread out in all directions.

In the end, it seemed as if even the sky had been torn apart by Sun Wukong.

The Six Eared Macaque couldn’t help but be greatly alarmed.

He knew that at this moment, Sun Wukong had held nothing back and was utilizing his full strength.

Witnessing this scene, and the appearance of the sky being torn apart,

Sun Wukong’s strike was truly terrifying.

He feared that even if he defended with all his might, he might not withstand it.

With this in mind, the Six Eared Macaque dared not hold anything back either, circulating mana throughout his body.

Having been taught by the Two Saints of the West, his strength had also reached the borderland of Daluo, and even if he hadn’t reached Daluo, the difference was minimal.

At this moment, he transformed in a shake, growing against the wind.

Almost in an instant, he had turned into a Dharma Body tens of feet tall.

This was the Law of Heaven and Earth.

A demon monkey as large as a mountain appeared here.

In an instant, it was towering and compelling with unrivaled might.

The Six Eared Macaque, feeling his own powerful strength, now had a glimmer of ability to withstand the Intelligent Stone Monkey!

"Demon monkey, today I will defeat you thoroughly and let you understand who truly is the leader of The Innate Four Monkeys in this world!"

As he spoke, the Six Eared Macaque gave his palm a shake, and his iron rod transformed into a colossal pillar akin to the Pillar That Supports the Heavens.

Then with a move of his palm, it fell directly towards Sun Wukong.

With the force of the rod bringing a world-shaking tempest, unstoppable, it aimed to directly crush Sun Wukong.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong’s expression turned cold, his aura chaotic and entwining.

"It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson, so today Old Sun will beat you back to your original form!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong also swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang to the peak.

In an instant, time intertwined, and myriad divine demons emerged.

The heavens trembled, and numerous extraordinary phenomena coalesced.

With the powerful force of his true body merging in, although Sun Wukong’s avatar could not contain too much, it was still enough to deal with the Six Eared Macaque.

Boom!

The colossal Six Eared Macaque’s Law of Heaven and Earth collided with the diminutive form of Sun Wukong.

The collision looked exceedingly violent.

Yet, the next moment, the huge form of the Six Eared Macaque, as if meeting a formidable force, was genuinely held in place.

No matter how he exerted his strength, his iron rod could not budge that tiny figure.

"This... this is impossible, impossible!"

The Six Eared Macaque was somewhat horrified, having used his full strength in an attack that, according to the Two Saints of the West, should have been enough to shake an early stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, unexpectedly, he couldn’t move Sun Wukong by an inch? Not even a slight tremble.

Indeed, this revelation shocked him to the point that he couldn’t react.

He knew the Intelligent Stone Monkey was strong, respected as the leader of The Innate Four Monkeys.

But the prideful him had always believed that as the Six Eared Macaque, he should be nearly identical to the Intelligent Stone Monkey, or even be capable of coming to a draw at the very least.

Furthermore, having been taught by the Two Saints of the West, he should have been able to overwhelm Sun Wukong.

Even if Sun Wukong’s strength exceeded his expectations, it shouldn’t have been by so much.

But now, he was horrified to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move the Intelligent Stone Monkey at all.

How could this not astonish and shock him.

However, at that moment, Sun Wukong let out a thunderous shout!

"Break!"

In that instant, the comparatively small Sun Wukong burst forth with power.

His Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly swung down, lengthening instantly, and directly struck the abdomen of the Six Eared Macaque.

Boom!

A roar erupted from the Six Eared Macaque.

His abdomen had been directly hit.

The massive Six Eared Macaque was bent over by Sun Wukong’s strike, curled up like a shrimp.

A wave of impact force spread out from the point of collision.

The force of the impact was immense, causing the entire layer of clouds to scatter.

Even hints of chaotic energy wrapped around the area.

The Six Eared Macaque’s face was full of fear as he spit out a large mouthful of blood in an instant.

For a moment, the Six Eared Macaque retreated several miles, staring in horror at Sun Wukong in front of him.

Sun Wukong shook his head at the Six Eared Macaque and said, "You will never understand the gap between you and me!"

Right now, he could only display about one-tenth or one-twentieth of his true body’s strength.

If he were to reach half of his true body’s strength, the Six Eared Macaque would likely be dead.

Nevertheless, even so, the Six Eared Macaque was not faring well now. His complexion was pale, and the Law of Heaven and Earth had already dissipated, unable to maintain its form.

Then, the Six Eared Macaque, apparently gravely injured, fell weakly towards the ground headfirst.

"I still can’t match Sun Wukong!"
