Chapter 1098

Sun Wukong was not a coward who feared death.

Seeing the heavenly tribulation could not kill him and that there were benefits to be gained, he immediately changed his tribulation strategy.

As each bolt of lightning struck, he absorbed them all.

Boom!

As wave after wave of lightning pounded his body, Sun Wukong's aura gradually rose; by the time the heavenly tribulation ended, he had, with its aid, released the spiritual energy accumulated over eons, transforming it into magic power, reaching the realm of Taiyi Jin Xian—the peak of Kai Tian.

Spiritual energy transformed into magic power, reaching the realm of Jin Xian—the peak of the Opening Heaven realm.

This scene filled him with immense joy; he let out a long, triumphant roar to the heavens, venting his elation.

Just then, the earth trembled, and a dangerous aura locked onto him.

Sun Wukong looked up and saw twin stars of sun and moon ignite in the dark sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were not sun and moon at all, but a pair of immense eyes.

The figure that appeared was a terrifying giant, towering without measure, with strength roughly at the Jin Xian realm.

"Could this be the Wu clan the Dao Jun spoke of?"

As he pondered, the sky darkened and a colossal dark palm descended.

It was not that the Wu clan's palm was dark—it was that the palm blotted out the sun and moon, casting everything into utter blackness.

It was not that the Wu clan's hand held darkness, but that the hand blotted out the sky and sun, leaving only a pitch-black expanse when one looked upon it.

Sun Wukong's heart surged with rage; he reached out and summoned the Five Elements transformation, condensing a hand of Five Elements Creation to strike back.

Instantly, a massive five-colored hand appeared in the void, colliding with the dark giant palm.

Instantly, a colossal five-colored hand appeared in the void, colliding with the dark giant hand.

As the two palms met, a deafening sound erupted.

Sun Wukong felt a tremendous force strike him; his inner world trembled, and it took several breaths before he could resist the force.

In contrast, the giant merely took a small step back.

"A Jin Xian with such terrifying power?"

Sun Wukong was stunned. "I am a Taiyi Jin Xian. Could my origin really be inferior to the Wu clan?"

Sun Wukong was stunned. "I am a Jin Xian! Could my origin really be inferior to the Wu clan?"

Just then, a voice rang out; the giant bowed reverently toward the sky, his form flashing like a streak of light as he sank into the earth and vanished—having used Earth Translocation.

"I pay my respects to the Dao Jun!" Sun Wukong snapped back to himself and immediately bowed, not daring to be careless.

In his heart, the Dao Jun was like his Master.

"You have some doubts. Come up to Dalaotian."

The next instant, a path stretching to the heavens appeared.

Sun Wukong leapt onto the path and ascended straight to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Sun Wukong leaped upward, landing upon the Great Dao, ascending straight to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Are you pondering your origin?" Zhang Taixuan asked.

Sun Wukong nodded, somewhat dejected. "Dao Jun, is my origin truly weaker than the Wu clan's?"

Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Your origin, within the Journey to the West, is top-tier—many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas cannot match you. But in the most supreme worlds, it is merely average. That giant was created by me using the Way of Cosmic Reversal, combined with myriad laws; his origin is naturally superior to yours."

Sun Wukong was stunned. "So that's it. If I encounter the most supreme worlds, will I be just ordinary there?"

"Pretty much!" Zhang Taixuan nodded. "You've seen the Honghuang world, right?"

"Yes yes—I get bored on Huaguo Mountain, so I read books to pass the time," Sun Wukong scratched his head.

Zhang Taixuan asked: "How do you compare yourself to the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests of Honghuang?"

"I've read it, I've read it," Sun Wukong scratched his head. "Hua Guo Mountain gets boring sometimes, so I read books to pass the time."

"I'm inferior," he admitted, even though he was confident—his talent and origin were roughly equal to that of the Six-Eared Macaque.

And the Six-Eared Macaque wasn't even among the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests—he didn't rank at all.

The Honghuang world was vast beyond measure, teeming with countless exotic species and divine birds.

"So," Zhang Taixuan chuckled, "you still can't get angry! You're still far from invincible (good Zhao)!"

The Honghuang world is vast beyond measure, teeming with countless exotic species and divine birds everywhere.

Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly. "As for your origin, don't worry."

He extended a finger; Sun Wukong did not dodge, letting the finger touch his third eye.

Zhang Taixuan was thoroughly satisfied, transmitting the Sacred Ape Refinement Method.

"This is the Sacred Ape Refinement Method. Once you master it and forge a Sacred Ape origin, even in the boundless Honghuang world, you will possess one of the finest origins," Zhang Taixuan explained gently. "With this as your foundation, you may rightly be called Great Sage across all realms."

"This..." Sun Wukong was stunned, overwhelmed by the divine method now in his mind, unable to recover. "Dao Jun, this method is too wondrous—I can't possibly afford it."

"This is the Sacred Ape Refinement Method. Once you perfect it and forge a Sacred Ape origin, even in the boundless Honghuang world, it will be among the very finest origins." Zhang Taixuan

Suddenly, a light laugh rang out as a woman in pale yellow robes walked gracefully forward.

A flash of insight struck Sun Wukong's mind; he immediately knelt down. "Sun Wukong pays homage to my Master!"

I can't afford it.

Why has this monkey become stupid today?

Suddenly, a light laugh rang out, and a woman in a pale yellow robe walked gracefully forward.

Sun Wukong's mind flashed with a sudden insight, and he immediately bowed down: "Sun Wukong pays homage to his master!"
