257: Chapter 183: Take a Strike from Old Sun_6 257: Chapter 183: Take a Strike from Old Sun_6 Gou Chen Great Emperor also unleashed his true fire and felt shaken by the boundless mana of Sun Wukong.
The mana of Sun Wukong seemed inexhaustible, always fighting with his full strength, yet showing no sign of weakening.
The Primordial Demonic Qi nearly cursed out loud, extremely unwilling to accept the situation.
The vital energy it had so painstakingly recovered was once again drained by Sun Wukong.
The future that Primordial Demonic Qi envisioned was bleak and without light.
In the end, their clash overturned mountains and cut off rivers; the entire land was shattered.
Luckily, the area where they chose to fight was sparsely populated, otherwise, heaven knows how many living beings of the mortal world would have perished.
Neither was willing to concede to the other, each deploying their own methods.
“Sun Wukong, if I do not kill you today, I swear I am not human,” Gou Chen Great Emperor declared coldly.
Sun Wukong glanced at him and said indifferently, “You were never human to begin with.”
Gou Chen Great Emperor: “...”
They fought for thousands of moves, yet neither could secure a victory.
However, Sun Wukong was at a disadvantage; after all, he was merely a Heavenly Venerate.
The most wounds were on his body, all inflicted by Gou Chen Great Emperor.
Some of the wounds had already healed under Sun Wukong’s strong constitution, but that went without saying.
Gou Chen Great Emperor, although also wounded, had relatively few by comparison.
After all, he was a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, whose techniques and strength were beyond what ordinary Heavenly Venerates could match.
Sun Wukong, if joined by Master Erlang Yang Jian, could be confident in defeating Great Emperor Ziwei, but alone, he had no such confidence.
Had it not been for his robust constitution and techniques, he would have already been defeated.
Gou Chen Great Emperor prepared to exert more strength to defeat Sun Wukong, or even to kill him.
Just then, a Buddha’s chant echoed.
Buddha’s Light shone brightly, inserting itself between the two.
Amitabha Buddha had arrived, directly assisting Sun Wukong and confronting Gou Chen Great Emperor.
Gou Chen Great Emperor’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.
Sun Wukong did not immediately make a move either; he looked at Amitabha Buddha, surprised that he had actually come to his aid.
The Pure Land is a realm unto itself, and sensing a major battle from there is no easy task.
Amitabha Buddha seemed aware of Sun Wukong’s confusion.
He smiled faintly and said, “Great Saint, it was Great Emperor Ziwei who decreed that this old monk intervene to help you repel Gou Chen Great Emperor.”
So that was it, Sun Wukong had been wondering.
They had been fighting for so long; the Heavenly Court should have sensed their activity by now.
However, Great Emperor Ziwei had not shown up, which was strange.
Unexpectedly, he had actually decreed Amitabha Buddha to come; at least Great Emperor Ziwei was finally acting with the authority befitting a Great Heavenly Venerate.
As a Great Heavenly Venerate, if one were to personally handle every matter, they would be worked to death.
Gou Chen’s face turned cold, his gaze dark as he stared at them, pondering something.
“Gou Chen, do you wish for another battle?” Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
With Amitabha Buddha’s involvement, Sun Wukong was full of confidence.
“Sun Wukong,” Gou Chen Great Emperor said coldly, “do you think I’m afraid of you?
Do you think I’m no longer a match for you just because Amitabha Buddha has joined you?”
“That’s exactly what I think,” Sun Wukong replied with a faint smile.
Gou Chen Great Emperor was momentarily choked, and after a moment, he found himself unable to refute.
With Amitabha Buddha there, he truly was unable to defeat them.
Amitabha Buddha, also a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate with the Root of Immortality, was one of the six immortal powerhouses between heaven and earth.
Together with Sun Wukong’s Immortal Body, even dying of exhaustion, Gou Chen could not overpower them.
Dealing with those in possession of an Immortal Body was most troublesome; they simply could not be killed in one try, requiring a great deal of time and effort.
Thinking this, Gou Chen Great Emperor snorted coldly and said, “Sun Wukong, you slay the innocent indiscriminately; how are you any different than a demon?
Ziwei protects you, allowing your wanton behavior; he has no right to be a Great Heavenly Venerate.”
“And do you?” Sun Wukong retorted.
Gou Chen Great Emperor said with a cold laugh, “I’ve never been ambitious, but if the Three Realms are to be entrusted to a fool like Ziwei, then becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t be so bad.”
“When...
pigs...
fly,” Sun Wukong replied, his face full of disdain.
Amitabha Buddha thought he had seen the height of hypocrisy, but meeting Gou Chen Great Emperor, he suddenly felt that his own hypocrisy was nothing in comparison.
Could there be anyone more hypocritical than Gou Chen Great Emperor, who clearly wished to be Great Heavenly Venerate, yet maintained a different façade?
It seems the Great Saint’s jibe that Gou Chen is “when...
pigs...
fly” was not wrong at all.
“Get lost.
I, Old Sun, have no desire to kill you today, but don’t push me to do it,” Sun Wukong pointed at him and said.
Gou Chen Great Emperor wanted to explode in anger; he glanced at Amitabha Buddha and saw the surging mana ready for action.
Gou Chen Great Emperor had to tamp down his fury; he took a deep breath and addressed Sun Wukong, “Sun Wukong, don’t get too cocky.
I can assure you that you won’t be smug for long.”
“Heh,” was Sun Wukong’s cold laugh in response, filled with contempt and scorn.
Gou Chen Great Emperor’s expression darkened and his eyes blazed with fury.
In the end, he chose to leave.
Amitabha Buddha revealed a smile, everything had turned out as he had expected.
After his arrival, Gou Chen Great Emperor would choose to retreat.
After all, even if Gou Chen Great Emperor was foolhardy, he wouldn’t choose to take on both him and Sun Wukong alone.
Only a fool would court death.
“Many thanks to the Supreme Honored Buddha,” Sun Wukong expressed his gratitude to Amitabha Buddha.
Amitabha Buddha, however, smiled and said, “Wukong, I have come by decree.
You don’t need to thank me; just thank Great Emperor Ziwei.”
