Chapter 109: Only by charging in does one become the Great Sage!

That door is the Abyss itself.

Beyond it, the rage will that could freeze even Chaos descended with a boom!

It is not energy, not law, but a pure, supreme "concept".

It is the master's undisguised killing intent toward a wild dog that strayed into his yard!

Yao's already pallid pretty face turned completely deathly pale at that moment.

Her delicate body trembled violently, as if an invisible hand had clenched her heart, making breathing excruciatingly difficult.

"It… it is 'He'!"

"It is the true-body will of 'He'!"

Yao's voice trembled uncontrollably with fear.

As a Chaotic Demon God, she knew better than anyone what that meant!

That was not a program, not a puppet, but the Supreme Prison Warden of this great prison, personally casting his gaze upon us!

"Let's hurry!"

"Wukong! Bodhi Supreme!"

"While the door isn't yet fully sealed, let's hurry!"

She screamed, almost instinctively wanting to pull Sun Wukong back.

However, she grasped at air.

Bodhi Patriarch gripped the fused three‑fragment "Original Dao Heart", his expression unprecedentedly grave.

That Dao Heart, though clearly flickering in his hand, seemed also to be under immense pressure.

He stared at the door, brows locked, seemingly swiftly weighing the pros and cons of fight versus flight.

That instant of hesitation made Yao's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Even Bodhi Supreme hesitated!

It's over!

This time it's really over!

However.

Amidst this breath‑stopping deathly silence.

Sun Wukong, however, performed an act that Yao, and even Bodhi Patriarch, could not have imagined.

He not only did not retreat a single step,

but, hoisting that dusky golden cudgel, strode firmly toward the door radiating endless pressure!

Thud!

That step was light.

Yet landing in Yao's heart, it was no less than Pangu's axe that split heaven and earth!

That step seemed not to tread on ground about to collapse, but to crush the heart‑demon named "Fear" with a fierce stomp!

Sun Wukong felt every pore of his body spewing scorching battle‑spirit!

His forty‑eight thousand monkey hairs stood on end, flashing with golden lightning!

A surge rising from the deepest depths of his soul, from that immortal stone,

springing from his rebellious, wild nature deep in his bones, like a volcano suppressed for a hundred million years, it erupted at this moment!

He snapped his head back.

Facing Yao's shocked expression and his master's solemn visage, he grinned, revealing a mouth of stark white teeth.

That smile was more flamboyant than when he once ravaged Heaven's Palace!

More wanton!

More lawless!

"Run?"

He squeezed from his throat a word full of contempt and disdain.

"This old monkey has never fled, from Flower-Fruit Mountain to Ling Shan, from the netherworld to the Heavenly Court!"

His voice was not loud.

Yet it thundered like a clap of shock, exploding deep in Yao's soul!

Before his words even faded!

Sun Wukong whirled around, pointing his lifelong companion, the golden cudgel, at the grand door!

Pointing at the terrifying will beyond the door, supreme and treating all things as straw dogs!

He lifted his head, and the heroic fervor and battle‑intent in his chest turned into a roar that shook all of Chaos!

"You sniveling rat, hiding head and exposing tail!"

"After all your scheming, is this all you've got?!"

"If you've got guts, come out! Let's battle three hundred rounds, you and my grandfather Sun, with real blades!"

"Hiding behind the door—what are you even?!"

Mad!

Too crazy!

Yao was utterly stunned, her mouth agape, completely unable to comprehend,

how could anyone dare speak such words to the "Pantheon Lord"!

That… is a god!

The one who sets the rules… a god!

Bodhi Patriarch looked at his disciple's back and was momentarily stunned.

Then his perpetually taut, still‑as‑an‑ancient‑well face slowly relaxed.

He first smiled silently.

Immediately, the smile could no longer be restrained, turning into a booming laugh that filled the heavens with endless delight and pride!

"Hahaha!"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

"What a Great Sage Equal to Heaven! What an 'Unyielding'!"

Amid the laughter, all his heaviness and deliberation vanished like smoke.

In its place was the same bold, domineering spirit as Sun Wukong's, daring to pierce a hole through heaven and earth!

"What are you afraid of?!"

"What are you scheming?!"

His voided disciple should be just like this!

If one were timid and hesitant, it wouldn't be called "Equal Heaven"!

"Disciple!"

Bodhi Patriarch roared, without any hesitation!

He abruptly raised his hand, taking the fully merged...

... perfect Dao Heart that circulated the "Original" and "Equal Heaven" Dao Rhythms, and hurled it fiercely toward Sun Wukong!

"Catch it!"

The Dao Heart transformed into an indescribable light and instantly merged into Sun Wukong's body!

Boom!

Sun Wukong only felt his Divine Soul, his bloodline,

every inch of his sinews and bones, at this moment, ignited completely by an unimaginable great force!

His power surged wildly!

The "Equal Heaven Path" he had just comprehended, under the boost of this Dao Heart, became unprecedentedly solid and domineering!

He felt that with a single swing of his staff, he could smash through this Chaos.

"Today!"

Bodhi Patriarch's voice rang again, each word carrying a passion capable of overturning the universe!

"As your master, I will go mad with you to the end!"

"Charge in!"

"Let that so‑called 'God' open his dog eyes and have a good look!"

"What!"

"That's what truly makes him a 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'!"

The words fell.

Sun Wukong let out a sky‑ward howl, his roar splitting stone and tearing clouds!

All the heroism, battle intent, and unyielding spirit in his chest,

converged at this moment into the simplest, purest action!

Charge!

He bore the Golden Cudgel, turning into a streak of golden light,

without any hesitation, the first to rush through that grand portal representing the Chaos Ultimate, radiating endless majesty!

Yao, behind them, watched the master and disciple, each crazier than the last, and went completely mad.

She felt her mind was utterly exhausted.

In the instant she was dazed,

Bodhi Patriarch turned, glanced at her, his voice calm yet unquestionable.

"Let's go, to seek justice for your master."

Boom!

Those words instantly ignited all the hatred in Yao's heart!

The fall of her master is an everlasting pain in her heart!

Now, the true mastermind stands right before her!

In her beautiful eyes, resolve filled instantly!

"I'm going!"

She no longer hesitated, her slender body leapt, following Sun Wukong's steps, and rushed into the portal!

Bodhi Patriarch stood at the rear.

He glanced at the world, now utterly collapsed and devoured by Chaos Turbulence, and a cold curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

"The game truly begins now."

After speaking, he stepped forward, and his figure completely vanished behind that grand portal.

At the instant the three of them entered,

this world formed from the Original Demon God Corpse finally could not hold,

was utterly consumed by endless Chaos Turbulence, turning into void.

As if it had never existed.

……

And at this moment.

Sun Wukong had already crossed that gate.

The sight before him plunged his whole being into an unprecedented shock!

Here, there was no imagined mountain of knives and sea of fire.

There was no so-called Hell of Rebirth.

Here, it was an endless expanse, a holy hall purely constructed of light.

High!

An indescribable height!

Great!

An unimaginable size!

On both sides of this hall stood countless divine thrones that reached heaven and stood firm on earth!

Upon each throne sat a figure radiating terrifying aura!

Those figures: some with three heads and six arms, some with blue faces and fangs, some radiating holy majesty, some exuding a sinient chill……

Sun Wukong even saw countless familiar faces among them!

Those were the Chaotic Demon Gods he had slain in the Chaos Realm, or heard of, who had long since fallen!

At this moment, they all had their eyes tightly shut, sitting there like the most devout believers, motionless.

As if they were mere ornaments of this hall.

And at the very top, the highest point of all the thrones.

That was a Golden Throne, vaster and more majestic than all the thrones combined!

Upon the throne, there was no one.

But Sun Wukong could feel that the chilling will that made his flesh creep came from there!

"This… is this the Pantheon?"

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, the shock in his heart beyond words.

And at this very moment.

Upon those countless thrones, all the demon gods with closed eyes seemed to have received some command.

Their eyelids twitched ever so slightly, all at once.

Immediately after.

Countless pairs of eyes—icy, violent, greedy, or deathly silent……

They all opened at once!

All stared in unison at Sun Wukong!
