Chapter 131: Who Are You? I Am Heaven!

Sun Wukong just stood there.

He did nothing.

He even did not release a single iota of breath.

But his very existence.

Was the most extreme, most cruel judgment for all the gods and Buddhas filling the sky.

His gaze was like two scalpel blades without warmth.

Precisely landing on the Liántái, on the Rulai Buddha whose golden light had faded.

Inside the main hall, Deathly Silence reigned.

Those gods and Buddhas who once ruled the Three Realms and looked down upon all beings.

At this moment, they were like a flock of quails terrified to death.

Trembling.

They even dared not meet Sun Wukong's gaze.

As soon as their gaze slightly touched that figure.

Their Buddha's Heart, their Dao Fruit, would uncontrollably quake violently, nearly shattering!

That was an absolute crushing from above the Life Rank!

Time, at this moment, was stretched infinitely.

Each second felt like being fried in a cauldron of oil.

Finally.

A self‑righteous Arhat who still thought he had a shred of courage could no longer bear this torturous pressure.

He forced his Fear Heart Demon down.

Summoning his last courage.

With a fierce yet timid resolve, he stepped half a pace forward.

He asked sharply with a voice trembling to the point of distortion.

"You... who are you!"

"How dare you, brazenly intrude upon my Fómén holy site, Da Lei Yin Si!"

"Will you not kneel quickly and meet death!"

His voice echoed within the main hall.

Yet it sounded so hollow and laughable.

Like an ant desperately screaming before a giant dragon.

However.

Sun Wukong did not move.

He even did not spare a flicker of peripheral glance for that Arhat.

His gaze, from start to finish,

was Suǒdìng on the Rulai on the Liántái.

As if all the gods and Buddhas filling the sky, in his eyes,

were merely a group of insignificant dust.

Only the Rulai

deserved his extra glance.

The Arhat who opened his mouth had a flash of green, then white on his face.

He felt an unprecedented humiliation!

A humiliation of being utterly ignored!

He is a Golden-bodied Arhat!

He is an immortal deity worshipped by the masses with incense!

Never has he endured such contempt!

Rage instantly overpowered his Fear Heart Demon.

He opened his mouth, still wanting to say something to save his face.

But at the instant he opened his mouth,

a sudden anomaly erupted!

"Ho... ho..."

A burst of dry, hoarse sound, like a broken bellows, forced out of his throat.

He discovered in terror.

Within his body, the overwhelming magical power that had been cultivated over countless Yuan Assemblies and already merged with his Divine Soul,

suddenly surged like a flood released from a dam.

Ravaging outward in a frenzy!

No!

That is not a release!

It is being forced out by an incomprehensible, irresistible, overbearing force.

Forcefully extracting!

His skin, at a visibly rapid pace, quickly withered, losing all its luster.

His black hair, in an instant, turned snow‑white.

Then, like withered wild grass, they fell off one after another.

His, the so‑called Vajra Indestructible Arhat golden body.

Like a deflated balloon.

Swiftly, it withered and shrank.

But, in the blink of an eye.

A solemn, majestic Golden‑bodied Arhat.

Then, completely, it turned into a…… dry corpse, nothing but skin and bones!

"Crack."

A soft sound.

That corpse still maintained its standing posture, a withered skeleton.

Finally, it could no longer hold up.

With a boom, it fell apart.

It turned into a ground covered in black ashes.

A gentle breeze blew past.

Not even ash remained.

It seemed as if he had never existed in this world.

Inside the Daxiong Baodian.

Completely, it fell into a death‑like silence.

This time.

Even the sound of breathing disappeared.

All the gods and buddhas seemed to have been paralyzed by a freezing spell.

Frozen in place.

They dared not move a muscle.

Their eyeballs stared so hard they almost burst from their sockets!

In the depths of their pupils was reflected endless shock and fear!

Dead?

Just like that…… dead?

No move was made.

No spell was cast.

Not even a glance was cast.

They were merely ignored.

A Golden‑bodied Arhat.

Just like that, from "existence" they were directly erased!

What is this?!

Words Follow Law?

No!

Words Follow Law still needs the "word"!

Still need to invoke the Heavenly Dao Law!

And this…… this monster before us!

He did nothing at all!

His "will" is the "law"!

His "thought" is the "Heavenly Dao"!

This…… this has already surpassed all their understanding of "power"!

This is a higher‑dimensional Dimensional Reduction Strike!

"Glug."

Someone, with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The sound, in this deathly silent hall, seemed so abrupt and grating.

The Rulai Buddha seated high upon the Liántái.

His face, which once could contain three thousand worlds and was eternally unchanging.

By now, all color had drained from it!

A deathly pallor!

Beads of cold sweat rolled down from his temples.

Soaking his faded monk's robes.

He finally reclaimed a trace of the Buddha Patriarch's sanity from that endless fear.

He knew.

He himself would not speak again.

Then, the entire Ling Shan will, in silence, be completely erased!

He forced himself to prop up that body, already heavy as lead from being flooded with fear.

In a posture so humble he himself had never imagined.

Facing that figure of His Highness, he bowed slightly.

His voice trembled, looking utterly improper.

「Dare... dare ask... Your Excellency? 」

「Exactly... where... are you, divine being? 」

He could not see through him.

He exerted all his strength, circulating his own already shattered Buddhist divine powers.

He wanted to see clearly the newcomer's footsteps.

But what he saw was, compared to the Chaos Realm, even more profound, even more terrifying... emptiness!

The only thing he could be certain of was.

The Life Rank of this existence before his eyes.

Far away, towering above himself!

Even...

Even, far away, towering above this world, that supreme Heavenly Dao!

Hearing Rulai Buddha's question.

Sun Wukong finally had a reaction.

He slowly moved his gaze away from Rulai Buddha's face.

Then he slowly raised his head.

He revealed that face, shrouded in shadow, complete.

That face.

That face, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Made Rulai Buddha feel fear to the bone, imprinting into the depths of his Divine Soul's face!

「You ask... 」

Sun Wukong finally spoke.

His voice was very calm.

So calm there was not a single ripple.

But it was like billions of Tai Gu Shen Shan mountains simultaneously smashing onto the hearts of all gods and buddhas present!

Made their Divine Souls almost split!

「You ask, who am I? 」

Boom!!!

At the moment of seeing that face!

At the moment of hearing that exceedingly familiar 'I'!

In Rulai Buddha's mind, it seemed as if billions of thunderclaps exploded simultaneously!

It's him!

It's him!

How could it be him!

That monkey!

That one, which should have, five hundred years ago, been personally suppressed by oneself, wearing down all spirit and pride of the monkey!

That one, which should have, on the Westward Journey route, been beaten to death by a Six-Eared Macaque with a single strike, destroying both body and Divine Soul!

He... how could he appear here!

How could he possibly still be alive?!

Moreover...

Moreover, he even possesses such terrifying power that even oneself can only look up to and tremble before!

Countless doubts, countless fears, countless disbelief!

Like a tightly woven net, instantly enveloping Rulai Buddha's mind completely!

Made him almost suffocate!

Sun Wukong looked at Rulai Buddha's face, filled with shock and absurdity.

The corner of his mouth split into a cruel arc.

He revealed a mouthful of stark white teeth.

「Five hundred years ago. 」

「Outside Nan Tian Men, you also asked, who am I? 」

His voice carried a hint of cat-and-mouse playfulness.

「Back then, I told you, I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. 」

「And you, what did you say? 」

Sun Wukong stepped forward.

Thud.

This step seemed to step on Rulai Buddha's heart!

「You said, I am merely a beast just taking human form. 」

「You said, I am ungrateful, daring to be an enemy of Heaven. 」

The smile on his face grew thicker.

But that smile was filled with, enough to freeze the Divine Soul, torrential killing intent!

「You said... 」

I can't jump out of your palm.

Boom!!!

When the final few words were spat out of Sun Wukong's mouth.

Rulai Buddha can no longer hold on!

His massive Six-zhang Golden Body shook violently!

His entire body fell from that lofty Liántái with a "thud"!

He fell and sat down!

He was in a sorry state!

As if he had lost his parents!

And within his pupils, which had violently contracted from extreme Fear Heart Demon.

Sun Wukong slowly raised his own palm.

He opened it.

Then, he slowly closed it.

As if he were holding the entire world in his palm.

He, word by word, addressed the Rulai Buddha who lay collapsed on the ground.

He proclaimed:

"Now."

"is my Heaven."

"and you…"

"are in my Heaven!"
