Chapter 101: If you don't call him Equal to Heaven, where does the Great Sage come from!

That sentence, "Do you still want my heart?", was calm, devoid of any emotion.

Yet it caused Sun Wukong's furious heart to suddenly go cold.

A chill surged from the soles of his feet, up his spine, straight to the crown of his head!

He gazed at the light‑shadow before him.

Looking at her face, where not a trace of kindness remained, only absolute indifference.

The last trace of longing in his heart, born of that "motherly love," vanished completely!

All that remained was the overwhelming fury of being deceived, of being toyed with!

That light‑shadow, called the Primordial Devil God, paid no heed to Sun Wukong's anger.

She didn't even glance at Bodhi beside her.

She merely looked down, pitying, at the monkey beneath her feet that had manifested the true form of a ten‑thousand‑zhang demon ape.

"The end of resistance is destruction."

"And to return to me is eternity."

Her voice echoed across this ruined world.

"Child, isn't this a better ending?"

Once again, she extended toward Sun Wukong that hand formed of light, flawless and perfect.

"Come."

"Return to my embrace, end this meaningless struggle."

That voice carried a strange kind of magic.

It seemed that as long as she nodded, she could lay down all burdens and obtain everything she had ever dreamed of.

Sun Wukong fell silent.

That ten‑thousand‑zhang demon ape simply stood there, unmoving.

In his mind, countless images flashed wildly!

It was the carefree, king‑like freedom on Mount Huaguo!

It was the five‑hundred‑year imprisonment beneath Wǔxíng Shān, battered by wind and rain, unable to move!

It was the eighty‑one tribulations on the journey west, enduring hardships, slaying demons and devils!

And that day he stormed the Lofty Heavens, his staff pointing to the myriad gods and buddhas, feeling supreme joy!

And also!

And also the Peacock Princess, spreading her arms to protect him,

using her own body to block a fatal blow, that resolute, never‑regretting face!

And also Master!

He could never forget Master standing before him, blocking the heavens' gods and buddhas, that unmatched, domineering silhouette!

He could never forget Master's words——

"If the heavens fall, Master will hold them up for you!"

One scene after another.

One matter after another.

These, are what make him Sun Wukong!

These, are the proof of his having lived!

Suddenly.

That silent ten‑thousand‑zhang demon ape let out a low laugh.

"Heh…"

"Heh heh heh heh…"

The laughter grew louder and louder!

Finally, it turned into a wanton, earth‑shaking mad laughter that shook the Chaos Realm!

"Hahahahaha!"

He laughed, utterly liberated!

He laughed, utterly exhilarated!

It seemed as if all his doubts and repressions were laughed out of his heart!

Beneath the emotionless gaze of the Primordial Devil God.

Sun Wukong slowly raised the Golden Cudgel in his hand.

That iron staff, stained with who‑knows‑how‑much god‑and‑demon blood in his grasp.

At this moment.

The dark‑golden shaft radiated a light that outshone even the entire Primordial Garden!

Brighter than that so‑called "heart"!

He slowly shook his head at that light‑shadow.

Upon that huge monkey face was written arrogance and contempt!

He spoke each word, his voice like a great bell, resonant and powerful!

"My life, this old monkey's!"

"Born of stone, nurtured by heaven!"

"Taught by Master!"

"And above all, forged by my own self, one strike, one strike, beaten into being!"

His voice was filled with unparalleled pride!

"I can die!"

"Die while charging forward!"

"Die in the midst of battle!"

But I, Lao Sun, absolutely cannot be raised by you lot into a dog that only knows how to wag its tail and beg for mercy!

Dog!

He bit down on this word extremely hard!

As his words fell, he held the Golden Cudgel in his hand, pointing it far away,

pointing at the 'heart' slowly beating on the chest of the Primordial Demon God!

His fighting spirit surged anew at this moment!

That long-repressed, unyielding, daring to defy Heaven and Earth Equal Heaven intention returned fully!

This, is truly him!

This, is truly the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!

He faced the so-called 'Creator' before him.

Facing the monster that wanted to turn him into an energy source.

He issued the most arrogant challenge belonging to Sun Wukong!

"You want my heart?"

Sun Wukong grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white fangs.

"Then let's see if you have this ability..."

"First, break this— my, Lao Sun's—"

"Bone!"

At the moment the two words 'bone' fell.

The Primordial Demon God, on that indifferent face, finally showed a ripple.

She let out a long sigh.

In that sigh lay a hint of regret, a hint of remorse.

As if feeling sorrow for a stubborn child who insists on heading toward destruction.

"If that's the case..."

"Then let you return to the 'Primordial'."

Her voice became ethereal and vast.

Her words fell.

The entire world came fully alive!

Boom—

The ancient demon god's corpse, long dead and serving as the cornerstone of this illusion, violently trembled!

The towering tree of life formed from the corpse burst forth with billions of rays of emerald divine light!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless divine chains formed purely from the 'Creation Laws' shot out from the tree of life!

They instantly penetrated space, sealing off all directions!

Turning this shattered world into an airtight lethal prison!

Immediately after,

Upon the dry, rotten land, pure white holy lotuses burst forth one after another!

The lotuses bloomed.

Emerging from them were not fairies.

but rather individuals clad in white battle armor, wielding holy swords of light, with mighty auras—holy warriors!

Each one!

Each actually possessed Saint Level strength!

In an instant, tens of thousands of Holy Warriors surrounded Sun Wukong's towering demon ape true form!

This was a war that filled one with despair!

At this moment, Sun Wukong felt he was not fighting a single person.

He was fighting against the very essence of 'Creation' itself!

He could clearly feel it.

Every time he shattered a Holy Warrior, the earth beneath his feet would immediately absorb his power,

drawing energy from this space, and in the next second, 'Creation' would produce two even stronger ones!

This simply cannot be fought!
