Chapter 773: Chapter 773: I, in My Prime [Fifth Update]

"Are you the Supreme Heaven Great Sage?"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha asked in a soft voice, the two phoenix wings on his head and the red cape behind him fluttering ceaselessly, portraying the image of the Monkey King vividly, especially since becoming the Victorious Fighting Buddha, his fur had turned to gold, looking even more majestic.

Wearing an iron mask, Sun Wukong’s facial expression could not be seen, but his gaze became increasingly bewildered.

Particularly after hearing the title of Supreme Heaven Great Sage, his mind was tremendously shaken.

Tathāgata, who was furiously battling Xing Tian, also noticed the arrival of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Without the memories of his past life, he wondered why another Sun Wukong had appeared; could it be a twin brother?

What shocked him the most was the trace of Buddha nature emanating from this Sun Wukong.

"Wukong! Kill him!"

Tathāgata commanded with a deep voice, sounding like thunder, resounding through the heavens, causing Sun Wukong’s eyes to instantly turn fierce.

He didn’t care whether the Victorious Fighting Buddha was a Buddha or not, any powerful figure from Qin Jun’s camp had to be swiftly killed.

Moreover, the Victorious Fighting Buddha seemed to be shaking the influence of the Ancestral Relic on Sun Wukong, which made Tathāgata somewhat uneasy.

"Kill—"

With blood-red light shooting from his eyes, Sun Wukong immediately swung his golden cudgel at the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Clang—

The metallic clash rang across the battlefield, and the Victorious Fighting Buddha stood with his neck at an angle, the golden cudgel striking his shoulder, but his expression remained unchanged.

Sun Wukong had an immortal, diamond-like body, and naturally, so did the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Furthermore, the Victorious Fighting Buddha summoned by the system possessed perfect cultivation of the Daluo Immortal Realm, far surpassing Sun Wukong’s cultivation. If he were to be easily defeated by Sun Wukong, it just wouldn’t make sense.

Because the Victorious Fighting Buddha was also Sun Wukong.

Every skill that Sun Wukong knew, he knew too, and what he knew, Sun Wukong might not necessarily know.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Sun Wukong did not care whether his attacks were effective or not, in his frenzied state he only wanted to destroy the monkey in front of him that looked so much like him.

The golden cudgel swung wildly, but the Victorious Fighting Buddha didn’t dodge at all, allowing Sun Wukong to pound on him without even trembling in the slightest.

This scene made countless spectators swallow hard; Sun Wukong was fierce, but the physical strength of the Victorious Fighting Buddha was even more astounding, refreshing their understanding.

"What is his body made of?" Liu Ruolai asked cautiously.

Bai Ze and Zhuge Liang were also stunned.

Qin Jun curled the corners of his mouth upward, smiling and saying, "Wukong possesses the immortal, diamond-like body, and so does the Victorious Fighting Buddha, perhaps even stronger. Plus, he has the perfect cultivation of the Daluo Immortal Realm, far beyond what Wukong can contend with."

Perfect cultivation of the Daluo Immortal Realm!

Bai Ze and Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened, their gazes at Qin Jun filled with disbelief.

As if asking, Your Majesty, where did you find another super-powerful warrior?

Xiang Yu, who was slaughtering corpse slaves, also noticed the battle between Victorious Fighting Buddha and Sun Wukong, and his heart was struck by towering waves. He knew the strength of Sun Wukong well, which was certainly formidable. But he never imagined the Victorious Fighting Buddha standing there, taking hits from Sun Wukong, looking like an adult bullying a child.

"Ssss—Is the Victorious Fighting Buddha that strong?"

"Another monkey... after Sun Wukong, Yuan Hong, another powerful monkey emerges."

"How is it possible... isn’t the Victorious Fighting Buddha just Sun Wukong?"

"It’s another one of His Majesty’s ploys!"

"Is it the era of monkeys now?"

The soldiers and generals of the Great Qin Heavenly Court were all abuzz with discussion, while those from the Western Regions and the Corpse Emperor Palace were terrified.

Just how many powerful subordinates does the Holy Emperor of Qin have?

The distant spectators were even more exhilarated; the name Victorious Fighting Buddha sounded so domineering, and his performance against Sun Wukong was unforgettable.

In less than a minute, Victorious Fighting Buddha had been smashed by Sun Wukong thousands of times, and the ground for ten kilometers around was shattered, but Victorious Fighting Buddha remained unscathed, as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, Sun Wukong was beginning to pant heavily; after all, he was attacking with all his might, and a thousand blows had drained him significantly.

"Tired?"

The expression on Victorious Fighting Buddha’s face remained indifferent—a pity that Sun Wukong had lost his reason and couldn’t respond to him.

The next second, Victorious Fighting Buddha suddenly threw a punch that landed on Sun Wukong’s abdomen. The tremendous force caused the surrounding shattered rocks to fly, and Sun Wukong was sent flying backward like a cannonball, with Victorious Fighting Buddha hot on his heels in pursuit.

For Victorious Fighting Buddha, at the pinnacle of Daluo Immortal Realm, fighting Sun Wukong at the early stage of Daluo Immortal Realm was absolutely effortless.

Because Victorious Fighting Buddha was Sun Wukong’s future self, he knew everything about Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong knew nothing about the future.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Mid-flight, Victorious Fighting Buddha added kicks to his punches, beating Sun Wukong like a punching bag.

The speed of the two monkeys was so fast that it was impossible to follow with the naked eye. Soaring to the sky and diving into the earth, Victorious Fighting Buddha beat Sun Wukong without giving him any chance to fight back, and even peeled off his iron armor piece by piece.

"Amitabha Buddha..."

Tang Sanzang muttered from a distance, his eyes full of hope and worry.

He hoped that Victorious Fighting Buddha would awaken Sun Wukong, but he also worried that this demon-possessed Sun Wukong might encounter some misfortune.

Meanwhile, Xing Tian and Tathāgata looked like two colossal gods in battle.

Tathāgata’s golden body was also tens of thousands of zhang high. When Xing Tian’s giant axe struck him, it hardly caused any damage, not even enough to break Tathāgata’s skin.

Boom...

Tathāgata’s right palm struck out with a might capable of destroying heaven and earth, tearing the air and summoning a windstorm powerful enough to uproot mountains. Xing Tian effortlessly caught the blow with his shield, but inside he was anything but relaxed.

"This old bald donkey is definitely not just a Daluo Immortal!"

Xing Tian thought through clenched teeth, his excitement growing with the strength of his enemy!

Using both his axe and shield, he defended and attacked simultaneously.

However, Tathāgata seemed as unruffled as Victorious Fighting Buddha had been earlier; no matter how Xing Tian hacked and slashed, he remained completely unharmed.

"If I were at my peak, one palm strike would be enough to kill you!" Tathāgata said coldly.

Xing Tian sneered, saying, "If I were also at my peak, you wouldn’t even be qualified to fight with me!"

Tathāgata, feeling insulted, grew angry. Though his opponent was strong, his arrogance was infuriating.

Immediately, Tathāgata struck with both palms, emitting a world-dazzling golden light that made everyone on the battlefield close their eyes, including Sun Wukong and Victorious Fighting Buddha.

With a loud boom!

The ground shook, and fierce winds ravaged the land.

Nobody knew what had happened; when the golden light dissipated, Xing Tian had been pushed back dozens of miles, a colossal canyon carved out in his wake, dust and sand flying through the air.

A huge palm print was left on Xing Tian’s chest, a shocking sight to behold.

Slowly retracting his palms, Tathāgata addressed the astonished crowd, saying, "Amitabha Buddha, you have committed a deep sin of slaughter, and you must enter my Buddhist sect, do good for the world, and no longer persist in your delusion!"

Qin Jun laughed upon hearing this. In the midst of battle, this guy was still thinking about recruiting others—he was truly obsessed with his subordinates.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Suddenly, Hou Yi shot a series of arrows. Flaming arrows, like a meteor shower, headed toward Tathāgata, the flames so fierce they twisted the sky itself.

Tathāgata turned and struck with his palm, his ferocious palm force directly dispersing the flaming arrows one by one.

His domineering pose shock many.

Even Xu Chongsheng, who was entangled with Kua Fu, felt his heart skip a beat, roaring internally, "How is this possible... How can this old bald donkey be so strong?"
