Chapter 384

That Chaos Dao Iron capable of destroying myriad ancient stars finally came to rest upon that stubbornly beating heart.

About an inch.

Just an inch!

Yao's heart-rending shriek seemed to be choked by an invisible giant hand, abruptly cut off.

Her heart, in that instant, seemed to freeze into a lump of ice, then was smashed to pieces.

The entire world, all sounds and lights, at this moment, were hit with the pause button.

Time, it seemed, had ceased to flow.

She could only watch helplessly as that iron rod, wrapped in the power to destroy everything, hovered above the Bodhi Dao Heart.

That violent force, extreme enough to make even her, an onlooker, feel her divine soul about to split, was seized by Sun Wukong with an unimaginable terrifying will, brought to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, behind Sun Wukong, that intangible, quality-less 'eraser', the erasing power representing the Original Mistake, finally touched his back.

Sss—!

No sound.

On Sun Wukong's back, that battle-worn armor, together with the flesh beneath, vanished in a large chunk out of thin air.

As if burned away by invisible flame into nothingness.

The stark white bones instantly exposed in the air, wrapped in traces of gray aura of Negation.

Agonizing pain, enough to make a Chaotic Demon God collapse instantly, wildly struck Sun Wukong's divine soul.

Yet he seemed utterly oblivious.

He didn't even furrow his brow.

Not a twitch.

His mouth, instead, twisted into a mad grin uglier than crying.

His Chaos Realm eyes stared fixedly at the Blank ahead representing the ultimate enemy.

This scene completely surpassed the comprehension of the Original Mistake.

"What... are you doing?"

That lofty, eternal, icy Dao Sound, for the first time in the exchange of consciousness, showed a hint of... a crack.

A hint, a crack named 'Confusion'.

It could not comprehend.

It could not calculate.

This monkey would rather use his own back to hard-resist the lethal erasing force, and still make this meaningless, suicidal threat.

Why?

Sun Wukong heard that hint of confusion.

He laughed.

Mad laughter!

"I'm teaching you, you bastard!"

He exerted all his strength, roaring heaven-shaking from the chest assaulted by agony.

"Teach you what it means to play without following the damn rules!"

This voice was filled with utter contempt, pure rascality!

At the moment he bellowed those words.

His Chaos Monkey Heart clearly 'heard'.

That cosmic computer, refined to the extreme, the operating core representing the ultimate 'Li'...

It stalled.

It crashed!

【Ding!】

No, that wasn't the system's prompt tone.

That was Sun Wukong himself, the most precise grasp on the battlecraft!

【Detected a severe error of 1.3 seconds in the target logic processing unit!】

【Table-flipping Tactic, deemed successful!】

1.3 seconds!

To Mortals, it was but an instant.

But for Sun Wukong…

Enough!

Now!

Sun Wukong's eyes, burning with madness, instantly burst forth with a brilliance to the extreme!

The Chaos Dao iron he had forcibly halted in Mid-Air shuddered violently!

Backhand!

Retract!

This strike was not aimed at that Dao Heart within arm's reach

But rather, with an antelope's-horn-like, traceless, marvelous subtle force, it circled that heart, flashing like lightning, tracing a circle!

Hum—!

Gold, ash, black!

The three-colored Chaos Dao Rhythm, like spiritual snakes, swam forth from the Tiěbàng!

They had no trace of aggressiveness; instead, they were filled with the purest protective intent!

One layer, two layers, ninety-nine layers…

In an instant, a barrier more solid, more profound, and more… Irrational than any seal he had ever set up!

Imprinted firmly around his Master's Dao Heart by the power he had "stolen" from the enemy!

This barrier shares the same source as the erasing power of the Original Mistake!

Yet it was forcibly reversed in nature by Sun Wukong's No Regret Monkey Heart!

To break it, unless the Original Mistake first learns how to negate itself!

After doing all this, a trace of triumphant delight finally appeared on Sun Wukong's pale face!

Then.

He suddenly turned around.

With his already shattered, bloody flesh, he actively rushed toward that area, which had fully reacted and was erupting in total erasing power!

He offered his entire back to the enemy!

Boom—!

Sun Wukong's whole body was like a leaf torn to shreds in a raging wind.

Like a kite with its string cut.

He was slammed away by that unstoppable terrifying force!

"Pfft!"

In Mid-Air, a golden stream of Divine Blood, like a mournful rainbow, sliced through this Deathly Silence heading toward oblivion.

He lost.

In this pure clash of power, he lost completely and utterly.

Yet his eyes, rolling in Mid-Air, shone terrifyingly bright!

Bright as two suns blazing fiercely in the darkness!

He lost the attack.

He won the initiative!

He traded his nearly ruined back for his Master's Dao Heart's absolute safety!

This deal!

Worth it!

So damn worth it!

At this moment, the Original Mistake finally realized it had been played.

It was a monkey.

Played by the most despicable, shameless, and Irrational means!

First, feigning an attack on what he cherished most, forcing his erasing power to hesitate for a moment.

Then he seized that opening, using his strongest ability to build a defense he himself found hardest to breach.

Finally, by self-harm, he forcibly swallowed all his own rage, completely cutting off any possibility of harming that Dao Heart.

Interlocking rings!

Audacious to the extreme!

Mad to the utmost!

"You made me angry!"

The icy Dao Sound vanished completely.

In its place came a fury pure enough to make the entire Wanshen Fenchang tremble and warp!

This fury was no longer a lofty judgment, nor a compassionate correction.

But rather the most primal, pure fury—hysterical rage after being toyed with and humiliated.

Its intangible "eraser" form twisted violently and boiled!

The surrounding void surged like a lake struck by billions of Stars, raising towering waves!

Toyed with by a monkey in the palm of its hand!

Such humiliation is more unbearable than erasing it from existence a hundred million times!

It wants to kill that monkey!

In the most painful, cruel way!

Tear him and his damned, Irrational "meaning" to shreds!
