Chapter 239: The silence of extinction, the end of variables!

The word 'noise' was like the final decree written at the very beginning of creation.

It stirred no energy waves and caused no collapse of laws.

Ji's existence, quite naturally, began to dissipate.

It was not destruction.

It was a kind of return.

His body, starting from the feet, turned transparent, as if it had never solidified.

The 'Silent Extinction' power that makes up his Great Dao's primordial source was, in an irreversible way, reversely devouring himself.

This was the backlash of the Great Dao.

It is the inevitable end when a believer discovers that the true form of the 'god' he has sought all his life is completely opposite to what he imagined.

Ji did not resist.

He didn't even have the slightest struggle.

He just sat dazedly in that void, allowing his existence to be erased bit by bit.

His hollow eyes reflected the unprecedented chaos before him.

There were songs of life, collisions of laws, and endless 'variables' dancing wildly.

But at the same time, he also saw that amidst the clamor's end lay a tranquility.

A state where all things, having evolved to the extreme, naturally return to peaceful tranquility.

That… is also 'extinction'.

But it is not the kind he understood, the cold silence that forcibly stills everything.

But rather a kind of… completeness.

A hint of a relieved smile and a hint of utter bewilderment appeared together on his face, which was turning transparent.

He seemed to understand.

He also seemed to understand nothing.

Finally, as his last outline was about to merge into the chaos, he looked toward the figure carrying a staff.

No hatred.

No regret.

Only a whisper so faint it was almost inaudible.

"Turns out… Master wanted to see… this…"

Before his words faded, his form completely vanished.

Together with his Dao, his obsession, and everything else, they turned into the purest 'Silent Extinction' primordial source, devoid of any will.

Sun Wukong silently watched the place where he dissipated.

That pure 'Silent Extinction' power did not utterly vanish like rootless duckweed.

Instead, it seemed to be drawn by some force, actively and gently merging into this chaos that had just gained new life.

Hum—!

Sun Wukong clearly felt that the laws of the chaos he was in suddenly became more perfected!

If one says that what the liberation of the primordial devil god brought was pure 'life' and 'change',

then now, the 'Silent Extinction' power transformed from Ji adds the missing link of 'death' and 'fixity'!

No longer is it Hongjun's imposed, all‑killing 'fixed number'.

But rather an endpoint of evolution, a necessity of reincarnation!

Life and death.

Variables and extinction.

Two utterly opposed yet indispensable Great Daos, at this moment, within this chaos, achieved an unprecedented perfect balance!

Far away, Yao watched the place where Ji had completely dissipated, her expression complex.

She recalled the Dao of the Bodhi Patriarch.

She recalled the Master's all‑encompassing 'emptiness'.

She spoke softly, her voice tinged with a sigh.

"Perhaps this is also another form of 'liberation' that the Master spoke of."

Sun Wukong, hearing this, trembled slightly.

He suddenly attained complete enlightenment!

His Way of the Equal Heaven, at this moment, produced the deepest resonance with this perfectly balanced chaos!

His Dao attained perfect harmony!

He had always thought that his Master's 'emptiness' Dao represented 'nothing', 'extinction', transcending everything.

Wrong!

Totally wrong!

The Master's 【Emptiness】 is not merely 'nothing'!

But rather 'encompassing everything'!

It is that which can contain both 'existence' and 'non‑existence'!

It can contain 'variables' and 'extinction'!

It can contain all oppositions and unifications, the ultimate 'Dao'!

That is the true profundity of chaos!

Boom!

Sun Wukong's realm now has no shackles whatsoever!

He is this chaos!

This chaos is his Dao!

He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the unprecedented completeness and power within him.

Then, he turned his gaze toward the deeper, unknown reaches of the chaos.

He knew that everything was far from over.

Hongjun is merely a gatekeeper.

The primordial demon god is merely a pitiful creature imprisoned.

Silent Extinction is even less than a pawn, a joke.

Beyond this boundless chaos, there must be even more "unknown" waiting for him to explore.

There are even more "Dao" waiting for him to comprehend, to……smash to pieces!

He grinned, smiling silently.

The chaos region beneath his feet, which witnessed the primordial demon god's liberation and witnessed the return of the Dao of Silent Extinction, will become his brand-new "dojo"!

Here, this is the Master Bodhi Patriarch's ultimate vision!

This, this is the true……Mind‑Platform Fangcun Mountain!

However, just as his mind reached perfection, preparing to bring Yao to consolidate this new world and completely transform Mount Huaguo into the core of this new chaos…

That sentence, which crossed endless time and space and directly echoed in his divine sense, surfaced again.

"Reckless monkey."

"Thank you, for opening……the lid of the table for this venerable one."

Sun Wukong's smile froze instantly.

Those Fiery Golden Eyes, which had just been as calm as the Chaos Star Sea, in an instant blazed with black‑gold flames more terrifying than any before!

In the deepest part of his Dao Heart, now merged with the chaos, a bone‑chilling cold mixed with towering killing intent erupted explosively!

He abruptly turned his head, his gaze like two peerless deadly weapons capable of severing myriad ages, piercing fiercely toward the distant direction of the Three Realms!

Piercing toward the end of the Path of Reincarnation!

Piercing toward that foul land mired in endless karmic flames and trillions of resentful spirits!

In there, he "saw" a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes once familiar, now only cold, mocking, and greedy.

Tathagata!

No!

That is no longer the Tathagata he knew!

It is a being more hypocritical than Hongjun, more obsessive than Silent Extinction, more patient than the primordial demon god……a monster!

Sun Wukong's aura, which had just been round and tranquil, instantly transformed into a killing intent so icy it could freeze everything.

Yao sensed his drastic emotional shift, her face showing worry.

"Wukong?"

Sun Wukong did not answer.

He merely slowly, word by word, chewed on the information that voice brought in his divine sense.

"Table?"

"Lid?"

Very good.

Sun Wukong's mouth corner slowly split into a ferocious arc.

That icy, violent, unmasked will instantly crossed the boundless chaos and slammed with pinpoint accuracy into those greedy eyes!

"Then let's see!"

"Who, is the prey!"

"Who, is also the……meat on that table!"
