Chapter 915: Chapter 800: The Four Great Spirit Monkeys
The Annihilation Power of the White Dragon had no effect; though surprising, Sun Wukong seemed to have anticipated it. Shi Zun, the powers of Bajie, and Xiao Bai Long were all granted by the Primordial Honorable, meaning Transcendence, Devouring, and Annihilation, were originally the Primordial Honorable’s powers. Using the Primordial Honorable’s powers against him, if it had any effect, that would indeed be strange. So upon discovering Xiao Bai Long’s strike had no effect, Sun Wukong immediately withdrew the Jingu Bang, simultaneously turning and swinging the staff in an arc from the other side toward the Primordial Honorable.
Actually, not only did Xiao Bai Long’s attack have no effect, Sha Wujing’s Crescent Spade also failed to cause any harm to the Primordial Honorable. The toughness of these pitch-black skeletal remains probably exceeds that of the World Suppressing Stele. However, everyone anticipated such a situation; if the Primordial Honorable could be taken down so easily, one might doubt if this skeleton was indeed his true form. Regarding Sun Wukong’s attack, the Primordial Honorable did not become overly arrogant; he wielded the Myriad Blood Halberd once again to block it.
Among the four of them, only Xiao Bai Long and Sun Wukong could inflict damage on the Primordial Honorable. Zhu Bajie’s devouring ability leaned more towards passive defense, and in terms of attack, he could only rely on the destructive power of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon embedded within the Red Lotus Fire Body. However, this power was almost negligible to the Primordial Honorable. As for Sha Wujing, after losing the Ultimate Water Stele, his strength was severely diminished. Originally, the power granted to Sha Wujing was to control the World Suppressing Stele, with the aim of having him collect the stele so that the Heavenly Patroller could restore the Myriad Blood Halberd.
But in the end, Sha Wujing’s capability was unused, as the World Suppressing Stele already gathered. Now that the Myriad Blood Halberd is in hand, Sha Wujing’s purpose has vanished in significance, and thus, the Primordial Honorable completely ignored him. As for Xiao Bai Long’s Annihilation, it is a very powerful force, but the use of such power has a fatal flaw, which is that it requires time to charge. Similar to the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, sufficient time to charge is necessary for their attack to be unleashed.
So, after the Annihilation Spear of Xiao Bai Long proved fruitless, the focus of the attack shifted to Sun Wukong, with Xiao Bai Long and the other two switching to support. However, the results of this approach were less than ideal. Without adequate charging, Xiao Bai Long’s attacks were also ignored by the Primordial Honorable, who sat casually on a large boulder, allowing Sha Wujing and Xiao Bai Long to launch their attacks freely, while leisurely wielding the Myriad Blood Halberd with one hand to constantly parry Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong. The Primordial Honorable seemed to be playing with a group of children rather than actually fighting.
Sun Wukong, observing the relaxed demeanor of the skeletal Primordial Honorable, knew this couldn’t continue; the defensive power of these black skeletons was truly astounding. Just as Sun Wukong was pondering how to confront the skeleton, the Primordial Honorable appeared to grow impatient with this type of battle. When Zhu Bajie’s Nine-Toothed Rake struck again, the skeletal Primordial Honorable ignored it, instead suddenly gripping the Myriad Blood Halberd with both hands, and then delivered a sweeping attack. Sun Wukong immediately blocked in front with the Jingu Bang, but the seemingly frail bony frame of the skeleton unexpectedly unleashed unimaginable power.
Sun Wukong couldn’t withstand the overwhelming force; the Jingu Bang was catapulted back into his chest, and he was knocked out of sight, flying out completely. Afterward, the skeletal Primordial Honorable retrieved the Myriad Blood Halberd, grasped it single-handedly, and thrust it towards Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie reacted swiftly, immediately maneuvering the Nine-Toothed Rake in front, and was also sent flying. Close by, Sha Wujing suffered a worse fate — the skeletal Primordial Honorable simply swatted him away with a palm, causing him to instantly spew blood and sustain injuries.
Presently, the Primordial Honorable’s attacks were lethal at the touch, and injurious upon a graze. What was initially an assault by four, in the blink of an eye left the skeletal Primordial Honorable facing only Xiao Bai Long. Xiao Bai Long felt a bit bewildered, for during their pilgrimage to the Western Paradise, they had encountered potent and invincible foes before, but never had Xiao Bai Long experienced such an overwhelming sense of powerlessness like today. “My Annihilation Power, it seems it’s time to retrieve it. You as a pawn have no reason to exist anymore. It’s truly a pity for all those calculations made in the past, but none of that matters now.”
Saying that, the Primordial Honorable flicked the Myriad Blood Halberd, causing the spear in Xiao Bai Long’s hand to fly out. Then the flames in the eye sockets of the skeletal Primordial Honorable flared up instantly, and Xiao Bai Long’s body was immediately immobilized. This was complete immobilization, preventing Xiao Bai Long from committing suicide, as even his Divine Sense and thoughts were sealed. This is the original power of the Seal Heavenly Stamp, a version simplified by the Pioneer from the Divine Kingdom Nine Judgements, which does not possess the ability to imprison thoughts.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Seal Heavenly Stamp that the Primordial Honorable was able to copy the Source Realm of the Source Realm Practitioners. Recall when Ziling unleashed the strongest Explosive Seal, strong enough to destroy the Divine Kingdom, but it failed to harm the Primordial Honorable. At that time, large swathes of gray suddenly appeared in the space where Ziling and others were located — those grays were the imitation Source Realm powered by the Primordial Honorable’s strongest Seal Heavenly Stamp. And because of this, during that massive explosion at its core, the Primordial Honorable could pause all time and space at the explosion’s center to avoid that strike while enclosing Ziling and the others within the imitation Source Realm. This was why Ziling and eight Law Enforcers failed so catastrophically.
In the Source Realm, they had no means to resist whatsoever, and although any attack vanished upon striking the Source Realm, a single blow was more than enough; thus, Ziling and the Law Enforcers were all soundly defeated. Though the Primordial Honorable did not use the gray Source Realm this time, Xiao Bai Long remained utterly immobile. The Primordial Honorable sneered disdainfully, reaching out towards Xiao Bai Long’s forehead. The skeletal hand hadn’t even touched Xiao Bai Long before, suddenly, a point of starlight flickered between Xiao Bai Long and the Primordial Honorable. This was Spatial Sand, which Sun Wukong had long developed a habit of casting out before battle.
Yet the speed of Spatial Sand was still too slow; from the moment the starlight flickered to Sun Wukong’s appearance merely required one-hundredth of a breath, but that amount of time was excessive for the Primordial Honorable. The Primordial Honorable snorted coldly, originally extending a hand towards Xiao Bai Long, abruptly changing direction to press onto the starlight. The starlight immediately crumbled, the spatial disturbances gradually vanished, yet simultaneously as the starlight dispersed, Sun Wukong still appeared.
Sun Wukong appeared behind Xiao Bai Long. Upon his emergence, he immediately embraced Xiao Bai Long and darted to the left. The instant they dived to the ground, a beam of red light as thick as a thigh swept across, directly bombarding the ribs of the skeletal Primordial Honorable. Hit by the red light, the Primordial Honorable reeled backward, and at the same time, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing roared furiously, descending from above. Sha Wujing’s Sky-flipping Crescent Spade had transformed into pure Water Element, the strongest Nine Heavens Pure Water, granted by the Ultimate Water Stele as Sha Wujing’s supreme power.
Behind Zhu Bajie, the Red Lotus bloomed anew; previously, during the battle, it had burnt down to the last, but now it blossomed once more. Zhu Bajie’s entire being was enclosed in a lotus-shaped flame, and his Nine-Toothed Rake had become composed of pure flame. The combined powers of the Nine Heavens Pure Water and Nine Heavens Pure Fire, the long-premeditated attack from Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, had finally arrived.
With fury, Zhu Bajie’s flaming rake viciously struck the skeletal chest of the Primordial Honorable, while Sha Wujing’s Crescent Spade sliced into the Primordial Honorable’s spine. Immediately afterward, both of them simultaneously released their grips, swiftly retreating. As they fell back, they witnessed the Nine-Toothed Rake and Crescent Spade beginning to merge into one, water and fire’s merging produced a violent explosion, yet this wasn’t the kind where forces were expelled outward; rather, all the explosive force poured wholly from the exterior inward, wasting not an ounce as it focused on the black skeletal remains of the Primordial Honorable.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing retreated to where Sun Wukong and Xiao Bai Long were. Observing the explosion seeping into the Primordial Honorable’s skeleton, Zhu Bajie murmured, “It should work, right? If this doesn’t, then I really don’t know how else we could fight.” However, Sun Wukong shook his head; he had little confidence in this strike, while simultaneously pondering quickly for a solution to defeating the Primordial Honorable.
From the Primordial Honorable’s actions, Sun Wukong could deduce he did not seem intent on killing them, appearing instead to reclaim the powers within their bodies. This was Sun Wukong’s only chance.
“Monkey, such a grand battle cannot miss us.”
While Sun Wukong was contemplating, the ground beside him suddenly rippled, and then a small monkey emerged from the earth. Upon seeing it, Sun Wukong and the others lowered their gaze to find it was the Through-back Ape, Yuan Bisi.
“I say, when did you switch professions to become a deity of the land?” Zhu Bajie looked at the little monkey and commented. (To be continued.
