Chapter 105: The Way of Void, the Truth of the Ages
The Bodhi Patriarch's words were light.
Yet they were like countless Chaos Divine Thunders, simultaneously booming in Sun Wukong's and the distant Yao's minds!
What?!
Yao's exquisitely beautiful face was filled with stupefaction, her mouth slightly ajar, almost able to fit an egg.
What did she hear?
Master, the thing you taught her?
Could it be...
An idea absurd to the extreme, yet unbelievably logical, wildly sprouted in her mind!
Sun Wukong himself froze completely.
He looked at his master's back, then glanced at the Primordial Demon God in the distance, horrified to the brink, his mind a chaotic mess.
This monster...
Is it my master's... disciple?
How could this be!
"No!"
The Primordial Demon God let out a sharp roar, its voice full of disbelief!
"You are not Void! You absolutely are not!"
She stared fixedly at Bodhi, her face contorting violently with excitement.
"The Void Dao is 'Force'! It is 'Force' pure to the extreme! It is the supreme domineering that can break ten thousand laws with a single force!"
"You..."
"What you're using is not 'Force'!"
She could feel it.
On the two fingers of the Bodhi Patriarch that were pinching her blade, there was no Dao Rhythm containing any 'Force'.
It was a kind of power she could not comprehend, not even perceive!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, the Bodhi Patriarch slightly raised an eyebrow.
He gently twisted the fingers holding the blade.
As if crushing a speck of dust.
"Crack!"
A crisp, glass‑shattering sound rang out.
That sword, formed from pure 'Creation Law', capable of erasing the judgment sword of the Saint King,
miraculously began to fracture inch by inch from the spot where his fingers held it!
No energy burst.
Nor any law disintegration.
It simply disintegrated.
It turned into the most primitive, tiniest speck of light, completely vanishing within this space.
As if it had never existed.
This scene caused the Primordial Demon God's scream to abruptly cease.
And made Sun Wukong's heart miss a beat.
Too... strong!
This is beyond what 'strong' can describe!
This is crushing!
It is an absolute crushing on the level of existence!
The Bodhi Patriarch stood with his hands behind his back.
His entire aura underwent an earth‑shaking transformation at that moment.
No longer the ethereal, celestial bearing that floats above the dust.
Nor the previously unrivaled domineering, protective master who backed his disciple.
But a kind of...
An indescribable, bottomless void!
An absolute 'Void' that seems capable of devouring all things, even causing the Chaos Realm to retreat!
Sun Wukong, merely watching his master's back, felt his Original Spirit,
his own will, and even his 'Equal Heaven Path', being drawn in, completely reduced to nothing!
He hurriedly lowered his head, daring not to look again!
"'Force' was merely one of the methods I found simplest back then, so I used it to teach my disciple."
The Bodhi Patriarch calmly spoke, revealing the truth from before the ages.
His voice was no longer gentle.
Instead, it was an absolute calm, devoid of any emotion, like stating facts.
"My Dao has only ever been one."
"That is—'Void'."
He slowly turned around, for the first time in this world, looking straight at the 'disciple' already completely possessed by Fear Heart Demon.
"All that is tangible is born from me."
"All existence will ultimately return to me."
Boom!
At this moment, Sun Wukong finally truly caught a glimpse of a mere tip of the iceberg of his Master's terrifying existence!
He understood instantly!
If the Primordial Demon God's "Creation" is the process from 0 to 1.
Then the Master's "Void" is that "0"!
It is the beginning of everything!
It is also the end of everything!
Without that "0", the birth of "1" would never occur!
This realization made Sun Wukong feel a chill all over his body!
He had always thought he held his Master in high regard.
But only today did he realize.
What he saw was less than even one ten‑millionth of his Master!
"No! I don't believe it!"
The Primordial Demon God let out a piercing scream and went completely mad!
She could not accept this fact!
The one who once guided her, leading her from a naïve Chaos Realm living being,
onto the "Void" of the "Creation" path, how could it possibly be this terrifying presence before her, representing "Termination" and "Void"!
"Destroy it!"
She mobilized the laws of the entire Primordial Garden, crazily crushing toward the Bodhi Patriarch!
Creation, life, light, order…
The endless laws turned into a tangible torrent, aiming to completely drown Bodhi and fully assimilate him!
However.
A strange scene unfolded.
All the laws, all the forces, within three feet of the Bodhi Patriarch,
vanished like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Like ice and snow melting.
Silently, they were swallowed by that absolute "Void".
Without stirring the slightest ripple.
The Bodhi Patriarch shook his head.
He looked at the frantic Primordial Demon God, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
"That guy Pangu left you here to inherit part of his authority, to become the new 'Stabilizer' of Chaos Realm."
"What a pity…"
"You have been polluted by another higher‑level being."
"Stabilizer?"
"Pollution?"
Sun Wukong keenly seized those two words.
He felt as if he had brushed against an even more earth‑shattering secret!
The Bodhi Patriarch gave no further explanation.
He no longer had any patience.
He slowly raised his hand toward the now completely stunned Primordial Demon God.
His five fingers spread.
From afar, he made a "grasp" gesture toward her.
The gesture, clearly across a great distance,
yet the Primordial Demon God felt an invisible massive hand clutching her throat, gripping her Primordial Source!
All her power, all the laws, under this grasp, came to a halt!
"Given that you once heard me preach,"
The Bodhi Patriarch's voice sounded calmly.
Yet it carried an unquestionable final verdict.
"Hand over the core."
"Or…"
"I will personally turn you back into 'Nothing'."
