Chapter 1435: Sun Wukong vs

"Woe is me!"

The decoy monkey was speechless.

He hadn't even reacted when the celestial mechanism suddenly became crystal clear.

In fact, even if he had reacted in time, or laid traps in advance, what difference would it make~?

Without the veil of celestial chaos, the entire Three Realms lay exposed to the observation of the mighty.

No matter where he hid—beneath the Nine Heavens or anywhere else—he could be easily found.

"Forget it. Wait."

The decoy monkey did nothing extra, not even entertaining the thought of escape.

Centuries of time were not wasted.

He now understood clearly: if he fled, it would truly mean certain death.

The Jade Emperor had lost face; as long as he himself didn't move, he could pretend ignorance.

But if he used divine powers to flee, he would surely be captured and reduced to ashes.

Within the heavenly tribulation.

A round bead rose into the air, manifesting into another golden-furred monkey.

This treasure, the Hunyuan Pearl, was a top-grade spiritual artifact from the World of Demonic Subjugation, later repaired by Zhang Taixuan.

This artifact was precisely the one Zhang Taixuan bestowed upon his disciple for severing the Three Corpses.

Originally, he had intended to use this artifact to cultivate the Thirty-Three Heavens Divine Art.

Now, each of his cells was a world, and in the future, each cell could evolve into an eternal world—he naturally had no need to cultivate the Thirty-Three Heavens Divine Art anymore.

Now, even a casual strike of his carried boundless divine art.

And for Sun Wukong and others, a top-grade spiritual artifact was just right for severing the Three Corpses.

As the Three Corpses manifested, Sun Wukong immediately felt his strength surge, his magic power undergoing a qualitative leap.

If his previous magic power had been one, now he felt his strength had reached a thousand.

Though not as limitless as the path of brute force, it was still terrifying.

Gazing toward the horizon, the Buddha's presence no longer seemed so terrifying—he could now perceive the Buddha's true depth.

"Old Buddha, taste my halberd!"

With a flick of his hand, a halberd radiating primordial qi and boundless divine might pierced toward the Buddha.

This halberd was the evolved version of the Hunyuan Slash-Dragon Halberd.

The Hunyuan Slash-Dragon Halberd had originally been a supreme divine weapon.

But since Zhang Taixuan broke through to the Pretender Saint realm, the halberd had become too light.

The weight of a thousand small worlds was lighter than a blade of grass on the roadside to him.

So he ventured deep into the primordial chaos, gathered divine materials, fused and refined them, pushing the Hunyuan Slash-Dragon Halberd further—to the weight of a hundred middle worlds—and then tossed it into the Shangcheng.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong happily bought it.

Though he couldn't wield a great staff, a great halberd was just as good.

Sun Wukong had long mastered extraordinary martial arts; now that he had severed his corpses and become a Pretender Saint, he naturally wanted to show off his might.

Behind him, a colossal ape divine form roared—it was the Sacred Ape Form.

At the moment he became a Pretender Saint, under the blessing of boundless fortune, his Sacred Ape origin crystallized, granting him a great leap in his foundational roots.

On the halberd, boundless divine art surged, stunning the immortals and gods of the Three Realms.

"This monkey possesses such divine art!"

"What a divine weapon!"

"The one behind this monkey is formidable—certainly no ordinary figure!"

Gao Jie immortals had sharp eyes.

They had already realized: the stone monkey's divine art was terrifying.
