Great Demon Sun Wukong

As soon as the thought occurred, Sun Wukong could not suppress it. Fortunately, he didn’t consider much further. He leaned down, lifted Tang Sanzang onto his back, and immediately a pale blue sphere of light appeared, enveloping both Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang. In the next moment, their forms vanished instantly, and when they reappeared, they were already a thousand miles away.

After his significant increase in strength, Sun Wukong had not yet relished a full-power, exuberant flight. Although he was carrying Tang Sanzang this time, it hardly made a difference. His form sped like lightning, and at this moment, Sun Wukong’s speed had reached the limit of this space.

Even a fraction faster, and Sun Wukong would instantaneously break through the spatial constraints and emerge in a higher world.

However, even though Sun Wukong was fully exerting his spiritual power, it seemed he wasn’t using his full strength. At the very least, the wings transformed from the Ruyi Jingu Bang had not appeared on Sun Wukong’s back.

From the Extreme Northern Ice Field to the Southern Heavenly Gate, it took only three or four Chinese hours. Not to mention other saints, even the previous Sun Wukong would need to fly for an entire day to travel from the Extreme Northern Ice Field to the Southern Heavenly Gate!

This goes to show just how much Sun Wukong’s speed had improved. In fact, the improvement in Sun Wukong’s speed was not solely due to the growth of his spiritual power and the enhancement of his physical body; more so, it was because of the layer of light barrier on his body’s surface.

This light barrier not only boosted Sun Wukong’s defensive power, but it also nearly merged Sun Wukong with the entire Pangu Realm. Thus, when Sun Wukong flew, he felt no resistance at all, neither from the air nor from space, which is why he could achieve such a terrifying speed.

When Sun Wukong appeared at the Southern Heavenly Gate, he suddenly discovered that the entire Heavenly Palace had been engulfed by a formation. This formation had little defensive power or attack power, but its perception was significantly stronger. After several investigations by Sun Wukong, he reluctantly found that with his current strength, he was unable to bypass this barrier to enter Heaven.

With no other option, Sun Wukong had to force his way in. The instant he stepped into the barrier, the whole Heaven clamored with bell sounds. The sonorous sound, like that of a great bell being struck, echoed through heaven and earth. Then, countless Arhats, Vajras, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas surged out like a tide.

However, not a single sound was made, which indicated that this group of Buddhist Soldiers was not doing this for the first time.

With a glare of his fiery golden eyes, Sun Wukong had a panoramic view of the whole Heaven, even clearly seeing the expressions on every Buddhist Soldier’s face.

But after seeing this, Sun Wukong’s face turned extremely unsightly. For these Buddhist Soldiers had not emerged aimlessly, but rather, they had formed a formation—a formation that Sun Wukong was very familiar with, having even participated in setting it up himself.

"It’s actually the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array! Although it, too, is incomplete."

But since when could Buddhism set up this Demon Clan’s great formation? Could it be? Forcefully suppressing the suspicions in his heart, Sun Wukong knew that now was not the time to clash with this group of Buddhist Soldiers head-on. The whole Heaven was filled with Buddhism’s followers, and although his own strength had greatly increased, he wouldn’t gain any advantage under a war of attrition.

Therefore, Sun Wukong just concentrated on thickening the pale blue light barrier that protected himself, gradually changing the color from pale blue to blue, and then to deep blue. From the outside, one could only see a large deep blue sphere of light.

When the color settled on deep blue, the entire sphere began to expand continuously. Initially, Sun Wukong planned to burst through directly with this sphere, but then he changed his mind, realizing that his visit was not to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but for a matter of greater importance.

So he changed his plan on the spot. When the sphere expanded to about thirty feet in diameter, its surface suddenly began to oscillate, as if a giant hand were constantly compressing the entire sphere.

The Buddhist Soldiers who had intended to rush forward stopped in their tracks. This unknown and bizarre situation made them hesitant to act rashly. Everyone knew that Sun Wukong didn’t possess any Taoist Arts or Spells, yet he was now manifesting a large sphere of light. Although it didn’t seem very powerful, abnormal occurrences often spelled danger.

Thus, millions of Buddhist Soldiers simply watched the sphere as it expanded, contracted, and began to distort under pressure.

Finally, it seemed that a limit had been reached, the water sphere burst without warning, and a low rumble resounded as the entire sphere instantly turned into billions of droplets shooting off in all directions.

At first, the Buddhist Soldiers didn’t catch on, thinking that Sun Wukong’s spell had failed, but when those flying droplets hit the soldiers standing in front, everyone’s faces changed color. Because those seemingly harmless droplets turned into extreme cold the moment they touched someone, everyone, regardless of their cultivation, turned into a chunk of ice without exception.

A few breaths later, tens of thousands had become gleaming ice sculptures. Witnessing this terrifying scene, the troops at the rear finally grew fearful. Although they had been prepared for this situation for a while, and had practiced their formations countless times, facing such a murderous demon king made everyone afraid. In just a few breaths, tens of thousands had perished.

Moreover, in the last roundup against the Demon Clan and Heaven, the demon king slaughtered millions of Buddhist Soldiers all by himself.

This was simply a demon who slaughtered without blinking an eye. Thus, the Buddhist Soldiers’ firm resolve crumbled at this moment. Yet, with millions of people, once the panic set in, the sight was truly terrifying.

Watching all this, Sun Wukong shook his head. In fact, the Buddhist Soldiers of Buddhism were not weak at all, and compared to the Demon Clan and Heavenly Palace, they were even stronger. Because each Buddhist Disciple had a fierce devotion to Buddhism, a faith that could transform into an extremely formidable combat power during battle.

However, that was in the past. Ever since Buddhism’s disastrous rout of the Demon Clan and Heaven, this faith had sunk to a previously unimaginable low. Plus, the subsequent execution of Tathagata at the hands of Sun Wukong had completely destroyed Buddhism’s faith.

Right when everyone in Buddhism was disheartened, a Buddha from the Upper Realm suddenly descended with overwhelming power and later came to regard Sun Wukong as a great enemy.

At that time, no one within Buddhism believed Sun Wukong could survive the pursuit of this Buddha from the Upper Realm. So, everyone was eager for vengeance.

Yet, when that previous Buddha failed to return after a long delay, finally someone, unable to restrain themselves, performed a prophecy at the cost of a thousand years of their life, and the result, the result was that Sun Wukong was utterly unharmed while that Upper Realm Buddha had disappeared without a trace.

When that person tried to delve further into the prophecy, they suddenly became weak, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of withered bones. This caused everyone waiting for the outcome to be struck with terror, and before long, a few bright minds guessed the reason.

The Buddhist Great Prophecy Technique was a secret technique passed down orally generation after generation by the founders of Buddhism. It could predict the future and know the past. However, the higher the strength of the subject one wanted to prophesy, the greater the price – their lifespan – required.

That Buddha had to expend a thousand years of life to prophesy about an Emperor Level Saint at the peak, the Eternal Buddha of Flowing Light. But when he tried to prophesy about Sun Wukong, his lifespan was drained in an instant, and that still wasn’t enough; even the Heaven and Earth Laws drew out the Buddha’s own time, which is why they turned into a pile of withered bones in the blink of an eye.

This harrowing spectacle left everyone utterly shocked. Just how strong was Sun Wukong?

While millions of Buddhist Soldiers were in chaos, Sun Wukong had already appeared in the Peach Garden, carrying Tang Sanzang on his back.

In the deepest part of the Peach Garden, in front of a small peach tree, Sun Wukong stood silently, then suddenly raised his hand as if to caress the tree, but hesitated and lowered it again.

Leaving only the words, "Fan Xin, are you okay?"
