Chapter 195: Keeper of the Tomb, Order

Just as Sun Wukong set off.

Boom—!

The entire Lost Dao Graveyard began to shake violently.

Countless shattered stone tablets embedded in the earth all emitted a piercing wail.

Waves of Deathly Silence Dao Rhythm were forcibly drawn from the tablets and converged toward the center of the graveyard.

On Sun Wukong's path forward.

The gray ground, as if alive, began to writhe and arch.

A humanoid creature stitched together from countless broken laws and Heavenly Dao runes slowly rose from the earth.

It stood about three zhang tall, massive in size.

Yet it had no facial features, only a smooth plane where a face should be.

Within its body flowed not blood but cold, death‑scented, erased rules.

These rules conflicted with each other, yet a stronger force forcibly fused them into a bizarre Balance.

It lifted its head, and on that smooth face seemed to appear a pair of invisible eyes, Suǒdìng Sun Wukong.

A soulless, metallic‑sounding synthetic tone rang directly in Yao's mind.

"I am the Keeper of the Tomb."

"By the decree of the Heavenly Dao, I suppress the Lost Dao and drive out the living."

The Keeper's voice carried an absolute sense of Order, tolerating no doubt.

Its gaze, or rather its perception, was wholly fixed on Sun Wukong.

"Your Dao, 'Equal Heaven.'"

"Defying Heaven's decree, you shall enter this tomb and be buried forever!"

Sun Wukong heard this and, instead of anger, laughed.

He halted, and struck the ground heavily with his Golden Cudgel.

Dong—!

The entire earth trembled.

"Hahaha!"

He roared with glee: "Another dog raised by the old Hongjun!"

"With you, a scrawny wretch who won't even show his face, you dare to bury old Sun?"

The Keeper made no further sound.

Words, to it, are merely tools for proclaiming rules.

Having proclaimed, the rest is execution.

Its body instantly disintegrated into billions of Debris flashing with different lights.

Those Debris are the Primordial Source of all Lost Dao in this graveyard!

"Absolute Balance" gray rune!

"Infinite Emotion" colored light ribbon!

"All Things Have Spirits" green star dot!

……

Countless forces already erased by the Heavenly Dao, at this moment, surged from all directions like a world‑shattering Storm, sweeping toward Sun Wukong!

Its method of attack was bizarre to the extreme!

Sun Wukong's staff swing unleashed black‑gold divine light imbued with the Dao Rhythm of 【Equal Heaven】, enough to tear the Chaos Realm.

Yet when this power met those gray runes, it vanished like a cow sinking into mud, instantly balanced and nullified by an unseen force.

The Way of "Absolute Balance"!

Immediately, a colored light ribbon ignored Sun Wukong's corporeal defense and pierced his Sea of Consciousness!

That was the power of "Infinite Emotion"!

In an instant, endless sorrow, anger, and despair flooded Sun Wukong's mind!

These negative emotions turned into heart demons, crazily assaulting his Dao Heart!

"Get out!"

Sun Wukong let out a roar, the indomitable will of the 【Equal Heaven】 Great Dao erupted, forcibly crushing this emotional trash!

How ironic!

These Great Dao that once tried to challenge Hongjun's order now have their remaining power become Hongjun's sharpest weapon!

Used to strangle the new "heretics"!

Sun Wukong's expression grew solemn.

He fell into a bitter struggle!

He not only had to fight this Keeper composed of myriad Lost Dao,

but also constantly fend off the endless resentment of the Lost Dao seeping from the entire graveyard!

### Chapter 196: Using Dao as a Sword, Battling the Heavens' Slave!

"Interesting!"

【7】 Sun Wukong licked his slightly dry lips, and in his golden fiery eyes, his fighting spirit only grew.

Sun Wukong licked his somewhat dry lips; in his golden fiery eyes, his fighting spirit did not diminish but increased.

"Twisting the losers' power together, you think you can handle old Sun?"

"Naïve!"

He no longer relied on passive defense.

Since brute force would be neutralized by Absolute Balance, then act irrationally!

Since the mind would be struck by Infinite Emotion, then be even crazier than it!

"Transform!"

Sun Wukong's form, in an instant, transformed into ten million!

Each Sun Wukong holds a Golden Cudgel, yet the Dao Rhythm on their bodies is completely different.

Some are raging like fire!

Some are agile like wind!

Some are heavy like mountains!

This is the essence of the "Variable" in his Equal Heaven Path!

You aren't seeking balance?

I'll just change so that you can't possibly calculate or capture me!

Ten million Sun Wukongs, from ten million different angles, launched attacks simultaneously!

The Rule Storm formed by the Tomb Guardians clearly showed a momentary stagnation.

Its "brain" composed of countless rules seems unable, at the same time, to process such a huge and illogical variable!

Now!

"Give it to me, break!"

Ten million voices converged into a single will!

Ten million staff shadows merged into one!

That strike no longer pursued pure destructive power.

But it drove the will of "change" to the extreme!

Boom—

The Golden Cudgel fiercely smashed into the core of the Rule Storm!

This time, the gray rune of Absolute Balance could not fully dispel this force.

Because the force of this strike itself changed billions of times in an instant!

You can balance fire, but you cannot balance ice!

You can balance heaviness, but you cannot balance lightness!

Crack!

The core of the Rule Storm was forcibly smashed open a crack!

The Tomb Guardians' humanoid outline re-condensed in the storm, seeming also to become slightly illusory.

"The living shall perish."

A cold thought rang out again.

The Tomb Guardians seemed to be enraged.

Its pieced-together body suddenly opened.

From its chest actually emerged an ancient mirror.

In the mirror's surface, the reflected figure was Sun Wukong's.

But that figure was not his current appearance.

Rather, it was him pressed under Wǔxíng Shān, covered in mud, eyes dim, full of despair and unwillingness!

A force named "Destiny" shot from the mirror, directly pointing at Sun Wukong's Dao Heart!

"Your end has been written."

"Resistance is meaningless."

This is another kind of obliterated Dao.

Way of Destiny!

It seeks to fundamentally negate the meaning of Sun Wukong's existence!

Sun Wukong, seeing his reflection in the mirror, first was startled.

Then he laughed.

He laughed hysterically, full of contempt.

"Destiny?"

"Since I, Old Sun, leapt out of the stone, I've never known how to write these two characters!"

"Hongjun wouldn't dare say this to my face, you dog, are you even worthy?"

He abruptly raised his head, and from his Fiery Golden Eyes shot two golden lights capable of piercing all falsehood!

"My fate is to smash all self-righteous destinies into pulp!"

The golden light fiercely struck the Mirror of Destiny!

The mirror surface violently trembled, appearing with countless cracks.

In the mirror, the monkey pressed under Wǔxíng Shān suddenly lifted its head, giving Sun Wukong outside a strange smile.

Then, with a "crack", the Mirror of Destiny, together with its reflection, shattered!

Sun Wukong's Dao Heart is as firm as Divine Iron!

Any force attempting to shake his will ends only one way!

That is, to be crushed!

The Tomb Guardians didn't expect that even the Way of Destiny would be ineffective against him.

Its body began frantically drawing more Lost Dao power from the surrounding tombstones!

The entire cemetery began to wail.

Those dead Great Daos seemed to be killed a second time!

"It's not over yet!"

Sun Wukong's patience finally ran out.

He saw it.

As long as this tomb guardian remains within this cemetery, its power is boundless.

Wasting time battling it is meaningless.

The only way is to use a power that surpasses all these failed Great Daos to utterly erase it!

"Yao!"

Sun Wukong roared.

"Hold it for me, even for a breath!"

Yao, far away, was already trembling with fear.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's call, she did not hesitate at all.

"Alright!"

She endured the excruciating pain as her Divine Soul was corroded by death energy, and drove her transformed Illusory Dream Path to its limit!

"In my name, I define illusion and reality!"

"All enemies before us are but delusion!"

Buzz—!

An invisible surge instantly enveloped the tomb guardian that was siphoning power.

The guardian's movement suddenly froze.

Its body, composed of countless laws, began to flicker continuously between reality and illusion!

Although it lasted only a brief breath.

But for Sun Wukong,

that was enough!

He retracted all transformations, returning every ounce of power to himself.

He no longer looked at the guardian.

Instead, he slowly raised his right hand.

Within his palm, a faint yet utterly pure golden light began to glow.

That light does not belong to the Way of the Equal Heaven.

The light emanated from the golden divine seal on his forehead.

It is the Master's Void power!

"Your greatest sorrow, you failures, is not being erased by the Heavenly Dao."

Sun Wukong gazed at the frantically struggling Lost Daos, his voice calm yet bearing a sovereign authority over all beings.

"It is that you do not even know what you are facing."

"Today, you shall die clearly."

The golden light in his hand suddenly surged!

"My Master's Dao is called Void!"

"Void is the beginning of all things, and also the end of all Dao!"

"Before it, your so‑called 'Dao'..."

"... are merely dust!"

The moment his words fell.

That pure, ultimate golden light, like a sunrise, swept outward in all directions!

Where the golden light passed.

The rune of "Absolute Balance" vanished.

The light ribbon of "Infinite Emotion" vanished.

All Lost Dao power controlled by the guardian, the instant it touched the Void light,

was like melting ice, completely erased from the very Concept of "Existence"!

The guardian emitted a silent roar.

It tried to break free of Yao's restraint, but it was already too late.

The golden light had already engulfed it.

Its body, pieced together from countless law Debris, began at its feet to gradually turn into the primal "Void".

Before being completely erased.

Its smooth face seemed to twist briefly, finally conveying an emotion.

It was, originating from Hongjun's Heavenly Dao...

Shock!
