Chapter 229: Dao Heart Tugged, Illusory Dream in Pursuit!

~6 min read 1,110 words

Silence Extinction Power is raging wildly inside Sun Wukong's body.

His Way of the Equal Heaven turned into a resilient barrier, trying again and again to reshape the erased flesh and blood.

But each reshaping is like filling soil into the bottomless Abyss, instantly swallowed by that cold Concept and vanished.

This is a sense of powerlessness never felt before.

His power, the Dao he prides himself on, appears so laughable before the End.

What chills him to the bone even more is the Void Seed within his body.

They are no longer silent companions.

At this moment, they are like iron filings drawn by a magnet, frantically converging toward the Silence Extinction Power, emitting tremors of yearning.

They are cheering.

They are celebrating.

They are welcoming the return of that 'brother'.

One force comes from within, another from without.

Two forces of the same origin yet antagonistic are tugging fiercely deep within his Dao Heart.

Sun Wukong feels himself about to be torn apart.

Not a physical tearing, but a split at the very meaning of 'existence'.

Half of him roars in resistance.

The other half instinctively longs to return to that eternal tranquility.

He has never been so passive.

Never has he been so close to true... collapse.

'Wukong!'

Yao's voice trembles with sobs, her heart tangled in a knot.

She can clearly feel Sun Wukong's Existence Sense thinning at a terrifying rate.

His body still stands there, but the 'trace' he left in this Chaos Realm is being erased.

Golden fine hairs, from the edge onward, turn one by one into grayish-white dust, drifting silently.

She knows Sun Wukong is facing an unprecedented life-and-death crisis.

This is no longer a battle of sheer power.

This is an attack of 'Concept'!

An attack she has never encountered, incomprehensible.

'Wake up!'

Yao attempts to inject her Illusory Dream Path into Sun Wukong's body.

She weaves the most splendid Dream Realm.

It is the monkeys of Mount Huaguo cheering for their Great King.

In the Dream Realm, golden waterfalls cascade down, a rainbow arches over the Water Curtain Cave entrance, countless little monkeys hold bright red celestial peaches piled like a mountain.

It is when he strikes the Nan Tian Men, ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shudder in fear.

He dons a chainmail Golden Armor, steps on lotus‑silk cloud‑walking shoes, and wields the Golden Cudgel,

His divine might unrivaled, a single swing sweeps away, the Heavenly Palace's glazed tiles all turning to powder.

It is the scene where he shatters Hongjun's order, and myriad Daoes submit.

His Dharma Aspect towers to the heavens, a new world stretches beneath his feet, countless Living Beings bow to him, calling him 'Equal Heaven'.

She hopes to reignite Sun Wukong's indomitable heart with these dreams.

But it's useless!

The vivid Dream Realm had just formed, not even having time to touch Sun Wukong's body.

Their edges immediately begin to blur and fade, like a painting soaked in water.

Then they are silently devoured by that intangible 'Blank' domain.

Not even a ripple arises.

Yao's delicate body jerks violently, as if severely wounded,

a gush of fresh blood streams down her high, graceful nose bridge, forming a shocking blood line.

In her heart she sighs: even the Dao techniques she has cultivated for years, before the terrifying presence of the End,

are as fragile as paper, utterly powerless! She cannot continue like this,

if she lets events unfold, Sun Wukong may truly vanish forever!

Yao clenches her teeth tightly, her lips nearly torn, fresh blood seeping out to stain the corners, yet she seems no longer to feel pain.

At this moment, the anxiety and helplessness in her eyes surge like a tide,

but in an instant they are completely drowned by a resolute force—she will exhaust all her power to save Wukong!

Her gaze has never been as steadfast and decisive as now, as if a never‑extinguishing flame burns within.

Since she cannot awaken Wukong directly from outside, the only way is to delve within,

to locate the source that caused all this! She must uncover the hidden Silence that stealthily attacked Sun Wukong!

Only by defeating Silence can Wukong regain freedom! With that thought, Yao hesitates not a moment.

She closes her eyes, inhales deeply, then concentrates all her energy into a single point,

and without hesitation leaps into that unfathomable Illusory Dream Path…

The next instant, her Dao spreads like a dream‑web woven from billions of silver threads,

racing wildly into this 'Blank' chaotic domain.

Her consciousness split into billions of copies, attaching to each thread.

She must sense every corner and every inch of this Chaos Realm.

She must capture the sole "something" hidden within the "nothing".

Silence has no physical form.

He transformed himself into this End domain.

Here is him; he is here.

Trying to find a concrete "point" in this absolute "nothing" is no different from searching for a needle in the sea.

No—it is billions of times harder than searching for a needle in the sea.

Yao's Dream Realm threads probed that domain and received only one kind of feedback.

It vanished.

It was not cut, not corroded, but erased conceptually, as if that thread had never extended there.

But Yao did not give up.

Images from the Element Sea flashed through her mind.

At that time, Silence had once appeared as a vague silhouette.

That silhouette, though vague, was not entirely pitch black.

Yao clearly remembered that at his chest, when he spoke,

there was a faint, barely perceptible, dim light point that starkly differed from the surrounding darkness…

That light point flashed and vanished in an instant, moving so fast it was almost impossible to catch.

But Yao's Illusory Dream Path is precisely most sensitive to this kind of mental will concentration!

This shows that he is not completely formless!

He is not an absolute "Concept"!

He must have a core, a Primordial Source, a flaw that can let him manifest from "nothing" into "something"…!

That light point is his "I"!

As long as that flaw can be found, even if only for a moment!

Yao's consciousness traverses the vast Chaos Realm.

Billions of threads are no longer spread blindly, but begin a finer filtering.

She abandoned all wide‑range perception, focusing all her mind on searching for that unique "dim light point".

Time passes second by second.

She can feel Sun Wukong's aura growing ever weaker.

His towering, earth‑piercing body is already half illusory and transparent, as if it could dissipate into the wind at any moment.

She must be faster!

Before Wukong is completely erased, find the "existence" hidden deep within Silent Extinction!
