Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Luo Wen, old brother, why are you blocking my way?"

Sun Wukong had been stopped above the Eastern Sea by Mosquito Daoist, his brow furrowed, as he had already sensed bursts of intense energy fluctuations coming from the direction of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Clearly, a fierce battle was taking place at Flower-Fruit Mountain, and it must be an extremely intense one for the energy fluctuations to reach such a distant place.

What puzzled him was why would Mosquito Daoist specifically wait here to stop him?

"Wukong, brother, the Heavenly Court's army and a Half-Step Saint from the Buddhist Sect are laying siege to Flower-Fruit Mountain. Isn't it like walking into a trap if you go there now?"

Mosquito Daoist's brow was tightly furrowed, as he had already sensed the crisis at Flower-Fruit Mountain. Not only he, but Demon Master Kunpeng, Demon God Bai Ze, Great Witch Jiu Feng, and others also knew that one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were besieging Flower-Fruit Mountain. They saw clearly what happened afterward, but none of them took action.

According to Great Witch Jiu Feng, this was Flower-Fruit Mountain's own calamity; whether they could safely get through it depended on their own strength.

If these refugees from the Ancient clans of Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing intervened, they might indeed save Flower-Fruit Mountain for the moment, but it would definitely draw out the true masters of Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Kingdom!

Then, not only would Flower-Fruit Mountain be doomed, but the Ancient clans of Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing would also be unable to escape their fate!

After enduring all these years, they absolutely couldn't sacrifice all hope because of Flower-Fruit Mountain at this moment!

The reason Mosquito Daoist appeared in the Eastern Sea to block Sun Wukong's path was precisely to persuade Sun Wukong not to return to Flower-Fruit Mountain and to follow him to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing to avoid this disaster.

However, Mosquito Daoist indeed underestimated Sun Wukong!

How would calamity matter? What of Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Sect? In his previous life, Sun Wukong hadn't been afraid, let alone in this one. To abandon his brothers and subordinates, and flee alone to save his own life, was utterly impossible!

He was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, even if faced with the encirclement of gods and Buddhas from heaven above, he was completely fearless!

"Heaven seeks to oppress me, I will split that heaven, Earth seeks to oppress me, I will shatter this earth, with my feet on the Somersault Cloud, towering over the world, all celestial Buddhas pale in comparison, my destiny is mine to control, not destined by heaven!"

"Luo Wen, old brother, my mind is made up, no need for further words! Whatever the outcome, I will never regret it!"

With his hands clasped together before him in salute to Mosquito Daoist, Sun Wukong's figure flickered as he bypassed Mosquito Daoist and continued racing toward Flower-Fruit Mountain on his Somersault Cloud!

Leng Xuan, Wushuang, Qing'er, my brothers, hold on, wait for me, I, Old Sun, am coming back!

Watching Sun Wukong's receding figure, Mosquito Daoist stood still for a long time, ultimately letting out a long sigh. He had anticipated this outcome before he came; Sun Wukong was just that sort of unbending character, who wouldn't retreat even when facing difficulties alone, let alone during Flower-Fruit Mountain's calamity!

Shaking his head, Mosquito Daoist turned and flew toward the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing on a cloud.

"Mighty Bull Shakes the Heavens!"

Outside Flower-Fruit Mountain's Primordial Unity Grand Formation Barrier, the Bull Demon King transformed into his original form, a massive white bull, emanating Earth Attribute's abundant primordial qi from the horns on his head, and ferociously charged toward Ran Deng Buddha. His momentum was astounding, as if he intended to punch a hole through the sky.

The Bull Demon King and Ran Deng Buddha had been battling for more than a dozen hours. The Bull Demon King's strength was indeed much more formidable than that of Six-Eared Macaque.

Despite the long battle, the Bull Demon King hadn't sustained any substantial damage, faring much better than before when Six-Eared Macaque had received power transfers from Leng Xuan and others, yet he was still no match for Ran Deng Buddha.

The strength of a Half-Step Saint was too powerful, and Ran Deng Buddha's strength was not inferior to that of the Nether River Ancestor from the Asura Clan who ruled over Hell's Yellow Springs and the Boundless Blood Sea.

Previously, Sun Wukong had only managed to get by with tricks when facing Nether River Ancestor and barely escaped by a fluke, while Bull Demon King now confronted Ran Deng Buddha, capable of matching Nether River Ancestor. That he had managed to hold on for so long while sustaining only minor injuries was already quite remarkable.

Driven by pain, Bull Demon King went berserk and charged at Ran Deng Buddha in his original form, a tactic more astonishing than any other move.

The physical strength of the Demon Clan inherently far surpassed that of the Human Race, especially for a being like Bull Demon King, who was a earth-shaking divine bull. When he unleashed his physical strength fully, his momentum and power utterly crushed that of Human Race, reaching a level difficult for an ordinary Da Luo Golden Immortal to fathom.

With Bull Demon King revealing his true form , Ran Deng Buddha was greatly shocked. Earth-shaking Divine Bull, a most unusual species from primeval times, held a high status even before the great Witch-Demon Wars in Ancient Primeval. It was said that they had not appeared since the Primeval era, and here it reappeared!

Facing the assault from the true form of the Earth-Shaking Divine Bull — Bull Demon King, even a Half-Step Saint like Ran Deng Buddha dare not underestimate him. He held the Qiankun Ruler across his chest while powerful forces from the Twenty-Four Heavens surged, enhancing the Qiankun Ruler as he struck the top of the charging Bull Demon King's head.

No enormous sound was produced, nor was there any mushroom cloud-like shockwave. The clash between Bull Demon King and Ran Deng Buddha seemed utterly devoid of any spectacular effects, but Erlang God Yang Jian, who was watching the battle at the side, suddenly changed his expression and hastily retreated far back.

Just as Erlang God Yang Jian pulled back, a dazzling light abruptly appeared at the location where Bull Demon King and Ran Deng Buddha clashed, followed by a black spatial vortex appearing out of nowhere, pulling the bright light and everything around into it.

"Quick! Fully activate the power of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, block the erosion of this spatial black hole!"

A figure flew back into the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain, blood on the corners of his mouth, his armor completely shattered into pieces. It was the Bull Demon King who had collided head-on with Ran Deng Buddha using his true form as the Earth-shaking Divine Bull, causing a spatial black hole to form. As soon as he entered the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain, he began to shout loudly.

"Everyone inject your strength into the Primordial Unity Grand Formation! Quick!"

Leng Xuan's face also drastically changed, seeing the spatial black hole rapidly expanding right outside the gate of Flower-Fruit Mountain in the sky, it would definitely affect Flower-Fruit Mountain. They could only rely on the Primordial Unity Grand Formation for defense.

All the members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Clan immediately poured all their strength into the Primordial Unity Grand Formation without reservation. All they could hope for now was the Primordial Unity Grand Formation; once the formation broke, and the spatial black hole covered Flower-Fruit Mountain, the destruction and casualties would be cataclysmic!

"Heavenly Court's army, retreat a hundred li, quick!"

Not only was the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Clan desperately resisting the invasion of the spatial black hole, but the Heavenly Court's army also hastily retreated to a distance following the panicked screams of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

Those who were slow to react were directly sucked into the rapidly expanding spatial black hole and pulverized by the limitless power of space without making a sound.

"Ran Deng, are you alright?"

Ran Deng Buddha flew out from the center of the clash, where the spatial black hole had appeared. His face was grim. Being pushed to such limits by a junior demon of much lesser cultivation was an utter humiliation for him.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped fighting with Nezha. She had been deliberately holding back, and now she had an excuse to stop.

"I'm fine!"

Ran Deng Buddha grimaced and coldly snorted, his gaze at Guanyin Bodhisattva flashing with a hint of cold light, "Guanyin, you have been holding back against that Nezha, for what reason?"

"Ran Deng, you should be well aware of Nezha's background. Our mission here is not him. Why bother making an enemy unnecessarily?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled faintly and glanced at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, clearly indicating that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had been making a fuss over nothing by fighting so desperately with Nezha earlier.

"Guanyin, you..."

"Enough! Guanyin makes sense. The Ancestral Buddha sent us here to eradicate the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Race and bring back the Six-Eared Macaque. There's no need to bother with Nezha, just contain him."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva burst out angrily, but Ran Deng Buddha interrupted him. Knowing Nezha's background well, it was better not to provoke this Third Price needlessly!

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was quite unwilling to concede and wanted to retort, but a fierce glare from Ran Deng Buddha made him reluctantly shut his mouth. Provoking Ran Deng was not wise, as making life difficult within the Buddhist sect was a consequence he'd rather avoid. He had no choice but to swallow his complaints for the time being.

Tacitly, both Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva did not mention the fight between Ran Deng Buddha and the Bull Demon King, as they had clearly seen the situation from the side. Though Ran Deng Buddha held the upper hand, it was not a crushing advantage.

After the Bull Demon King manifested his Dharma body, he fought evenly with Ran Deng Buddha, and even the space of the Three Realms couldn't withstand the force of their interaction and ruptured, the rapidly expanding spatial black hole being the best proof.

Of course, with the discernment of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, it was clear that the Bull Demon King had exhausted his full strength, while Ran Deng Buddha still had some reserve. Once this spatial black hole dispersed, Ran Deng Buddha would strike again, and the fall of Flower-Fruit Mountain was only a matter of time, sooner or later!

However, there was still one variable, which Guanyin Bodhisattva, looking at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Ran Deng Buddha, did not mention. She was thinking about the master of Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Beautiful Monkey King Sun Wukong, who had yet to appear.

Since a moment ago, the ominous premonition Guanyin Bodhisattva had been feeling suddenly vanished without any trace, an intuition telling her that this might be the calm before the storm.

The Beautiful Monkey King Sun Wukong, might very soon make his appearance! And likely in a way that would astound the world!

Boom!

The expanding spatial black hole finally reached Flower-Fruit Mountain, colliding fiercely with the Primordial Unity Grand Formation.

The entire Primordial Unity Grand Formation vibrated violently, showing signs that it might collapse at any moment.

"Hold on! You must hold on!"
