Chapter 244: Beyond the Chaos, the Ultimate Invitation!

Sun Wukong's Smile froze on his face.

His gaze shot toward Deep Chaos.

There, a wave of evil aura was expanding wildly.

It is the Tathagata.

That aura is stronger than before.

Even more terrifying.

Sun Wukong's eyes instantly stained with bloodthirsty red light.

Heh.

A cruel curve lifted at the corner of his mouth.

Can't hide it?

The Golden Cudgel emitted low, trembling hums in his hand.

The great battle is about to arrive.

But just as the Tathagata's aura rose to its peak.

A more ancient, grander summons came from beyond the Chaos Realm.

It is not words.

It is a resonance between Dao and Dao.

It bypasses all laws.

It points directly to Sun Wukong's Primordial Source.

That summons.

It shakes every inch of his Equal Heaven Path.

It seems to pull him completely out of this Chaos Realm.

Sun Wukong jolted violently.

His raised eyebrows twitched slightly.

His gaze changed.

From bloodthirsty to profound.

From murderous intent to curiosity.

The Tathagata's threat.

Before that ancient summons.

Instantly became insignificant.

The Equal Heaven Path within him throbbed violently.

A desire never felt before.

Surfaced from the depths of his heart.

It is a yearning for a broader heavens and earth.

It is a quest for the unknown Dao.

No matter how ferocious the Tathagata may be.

It is merely an old grievance within this Chaos.

But that summons.

Points toward the ultimate mystery of the Dao.

Sun Wukong's breathing became long and drawn.

He seemed to hear.

A low whisper coming from the far side of the Great Dao.

This whisper is the highest Recognition of his existence.

It is also a solemn revelation of infinite possibilities.

Monkey Brother?

Yao asked softly.

Her hand gently touched Sun Wukong's arm.

A hint of worry was in her eyes.

Sun Wukong gave no answer.

His body stiffened.

Like a stone statue.

He felt that summons.

It came from the edge of the Chaos.

An invitation from a broader Universe.

He knows.

That is the true 'Ultimate' place.

There is no Heavenly Dao there.

No old order.

Only pure 'Dao' exists.

Waiting to be opened.

Waiting to be explored.

This newborn Chaos.

He has already given it rules.

He bestowed it Vitality.

It will grow on its own.

But his path.

extends far beyond this.

Sun Wukong suddenly regained his senses.

He turned his head.

He looked toward Yao.

His face bore determination.

"I'm old Sun, I get it."

His voice was low.

yet full of power.

"Master, the old man."

"The ultimate goal."

"It is not merely to reshape a Chaos."

He clenched the Golden Cudgel.

His knuckles turned slightly pale.

"But to guide all beings."

"Toward true Freedom."

The Golden Cudgel hummed in his hand.

It trembled with excitement.

It kept leaping.

It yearned for a new journey.

It yearned for new challenges.

Yao's Illusory Dream Avenue.

Within this higher‑dimensional summons.

it also saw infinite possibilities.

Hope flickered in her eyes.

A slight smile lifted the corner of her mouth.

She knew.

Sun Wukong's decision.

was not a momentary impulse.

but the inevitability of his Dao.

Sun Wukong turned back.

He glanced at this Chaos he had forged with his own hands.

All things thrived.

Freedom grew freely.

A hint of a smile curved his mouth.

It was the creator's pride.

This is the true meaning of his Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Forever on the road.

Forever challenging.

"The Buddha, this old man."

Sun Wukong let out a cold snort.

The sound carried disdain.

"He wants to play."

"I'm old Sun, I have no time to accompany him."

"Then let him."

"First stay in this Chaos."

"Experience it properly."

"What is called."

"A new rule!"

His words had not yet fallen.

Deep Chaos.

The Buddha's just‑ascended aura.

Suddenly as if his throat were strangled.

He shrank violently.

His evil Golden Body.

shook violently.

The Buddha's light suddenly dimmed.

It seemed struck by an invisible giant hand.

The karmic fire he refined also slipped from his control.

The karmic fire ran rampant inside his Golden Body.

It scorched his Divine Soul.

This is the backlash of the new Heavenly Dao.

This is the silent judgment of the Equal Heaven rule.

Sun Wukong merely thought a thought.

The Heavenly Dao Law of the new Chaos.

It instantly launched a backlash against the Buddha.

The karmic fire he attempted to devour.

Now became difficult to command.

The power of the backlash.

Far beyond his expectations.

He had thought himself a hunter.

Sun Wukong, however, regarded him as

a trivial foot soldier.

a piece that could be discarded at any time.

an insignificant clown.

This overlooked anger

made the Buddha suffer more than any attack.

He let out a low growl.

His voice was full of resentment.

Sun Wukong paid no heed.

His gaze turned toward the distance.

An ancient and grand will

resonated directly within his sea of consciousness.

It seemed an invitation from the Dao itself.

calling him.

to transcend all.

to embrace true Infinity.

Sun Wukong did not hesitate.

He grasped Yao's hand.

Her palm was warm.

Her gaze was resolute.

"Let's go,"

he whispered.

"to see,"

"the scenery beyond the Chaos!"

The two figures flashed.

In an instant they became two streams of light.

They surged toward the edge of the Chaos.

They rushed toward the source of that ancient summons.

They resolutely

charged toward the ultimate realm of higher dimensions.

advancing toward true "Infinity"!

At the moment they vanished,

deep within the Chaos.

The Buddha's evil Golden Body abruptly lifted its head.

Its eyes glowed crimson.

It sensed.

Sun Wukong's all-transcending aura.

was receding.

It raged.

Its throat emitted a muffled roar.

yet it was helpless.

It knew.

that it had once again been outwitted.

by that monkey.

and mercilessly crushed again.

"Sun Wukong!"

He let out a thunderous roar.

It reverberated through the entire newborn Chaos Realm.

The Chaos Realm barrier trembled because of it.

"You can't escape!"

Yet his voice

could no longer reach

Sun Wukong's back.

At this moment.

Sun Wukong and Yao.

were traversing the void outside the Chaos Realm.

Ahead of them,

the endless Star Sea unfolded.

radiant and mysterious.

Stars like sand.

They flickered with silent brilliance spanning billions of years.

That was a vast Universe never before seen.

Beyond the Three Realms.

Beyond the old Heavenly Dao.

That was a true land of Freedom.

Just as they were about to merge into that stretch of Star Sea,

a faint glimmer

rose from the distant depths of the void.

That glimmer

was exceedingly tiny.

yet emitted an unmistakably familiar aura.

It was…

Master!

Sun Wukong's heart pounded.

He abruptly halted his steps.

His gaze fixed on that speck of light.

There,

seemed to hold some guidance.

some clue concerning his Master.

a clue to his final abode.

That glimmer flickered.

It ultimately merged into the void.

and vanished.

leaving only an obscure message.

directly imprinted deep within Sun Wukong's sea of consciousness.

"True Chaos."

"Waiting for you to open it."

Sun Wukong's eyes

instantly became complex.

He looked at Yao.

then looked toward the endless Star Sea ahead.

His journey

had only just begun.

That glimmer

was like a single thread.

It pulled him

toward deeper unknowns.

"Brother Monkey."

Yao gently clasped his hand.

Her palm was warm.

In her eyes,

was filled with determination.

"Let's go."

Sun Wukong returned the grip on her hand.

palms interlocked.

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

Good!

He said loudly.

He knows.

This endless Star Sea.

This profound Universe.

It is his ultimate stage.

And that speck of light.

That message.

It further made him understand.

Master's arrangement.

Far beyond what he imagined.

More far‑reaching.

More grand.

He clenched the Golden Cudgel.

Leapt fiercely.

with Yao.

He plunged into that unknown Star Sea.

Their silhouettes.

in the endless Universe.

appear so tiny.

yet contain.

the opening of Heaven and Earth.

a mighty aura.

And at the moment they departed.

Deep Chaos.

In the Tathagata's raging eyes.

a hint of cunning flashed.

He suddenly ceased struggling.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

That smile carried calculation.

The real dining table?

He whispered softly.

His voice was cold.

But that dish.

…must come from these Three Realms.

Slowly cooked!

He looked toward the Three Realms.

In his eyes.

shone with deeper malice.

As if.

everything was within his plan.

And Sun Wukong's departure.

only gave him.

more.

to exploit.

time.
