Chapter 407: The Extinguished Star

Get lost!

Sun Wukong let out a thunderous roar from his throat.

His thick right leg suddenly exerted force, kicking upward.

A violent surge of Chaos Realm's power poured out along the leg's meridians.

The massive mechanical hand gripping his ankle snapped into several pieces on the spot.

Sparks flew from the break.

The pungent smell of machine oil and the stench of burnt wiring filled the air.

He didn't even glance at the scrap iron beneath his feet.

He backhanded lifted the dull, gray Chaos Dao iron in his hand.

The muscles on his arm bulged high.

Crimson-gold blood surged madly through his veins.

A three-colored torrent howled out along the staff.

Carrying an overwhelming force that could crush rotting wood, it smashed down from above.

Before him stood an apostle subsidiary body cobbled together from scrap metal and demon gods' resentment.

Its size dwarfed the surrounding mountains.

Yet at the point where the iron rod struck,

it collapsed straight inward from the center.

This patchwork monster couldn't even let out a half-syllable wail.

Its massive body was compressed to the extreme under an unreasonable violence.

Then it exploded with a boom!

Not only the monster's body,

but also the wasteland earth for tens of thousands of li around below,

was utterly pulverized by this strike into flying ash that filled the sky.

The wind swept up metal debris of all sizes, dancing wildly in mid-air.

Only a bottomless giant black hole remained on the ground.

Sun Wukong's face was filled with killing intent.

He leaned on the iron rod, standing in the center of the scorched earth.

Just as he was about to lift his leg and step into the void to pursue the next coordinate point,

his figure suddenly froze.

His entire body's movement stiffened, locked in place.

The left foot he had stepped out hovered in mid-air, unable to land.

His right hand gripping the iron rod suddenly tensed.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged out one by one.

The area of his heart jerked with a violent spasm.

That feeling was not a wound to flesh and blood.

It was as if someone had taken a knife and carved a chunk of flesh straight from his heart!

The pain made him bend over directly.

He gasped heavily, breath after breath.

He and Yao had always shared an almost imperceptible Divine Soul bond.

It was the final thought they had formed together at countless life-and-death junctures.

But just a second ago.

The star that had always shone in the deepest part of his Divine Soul, belonging to Yao,

burst forth with an unprecedented blaze of light.

That light was extremely gentle.

Carrying endless affection.

This was a scent he knew all too well.

But immediately after.

After that light reached its peak of brilliance,

it suddenly vanished.

The light was gone.

Spotless.

Not a trace of warmth remained.

The bond was broken.

That thread turned into a dead knot.

Sun Wukong's hair all over his body stood on end.

His breathing became a hundred times heavier than a broken bellows.

"No……"

Sun Wukong fiercely lowered his head.

A muffled, indistinct murmur squeezed out from his throat.

His voice was so hoarse that its original tone could not be discerned at all.

A moment ago, brutal murderous intent still surged in his eyes.

In this instant, it retreated completely cleanly.

Taking its place was a panic so vast even Heaven couldn't contain it!

He didn't dare believe it.

And he wasn't willing to believe it.

His divine sense went berserk, probing toward that severed node.

Again and again, it frantically slammed.

Attempting to find a trace of response in this deathly silent sea of consciousness.

None.

Nothing at all.

Originally, that was the place where Yao should have existed.

Now it is empty.

In this gap shorter than half a breath.

At the deepest reaches of his mind.

Piercing through countless layers of spatial barriers.

A woman's voice came through.

Only a single short word.

"Quick!"

This is the last trace Yao left in this world.

Just that one word.

Its force was ten thousand times heavier than the mountain that shattered his Dao Heart!

It slammed hard onto Sun Wukong's divine soul, already stretched to its limit!

He was struck so hard he staggered back a big step.

His head was filled with a series of buzzing vibrations.

He knew all too well what that word meant.

That timid yet stubborn foolish woman.

She always liked to take the most deadly burden upon herself.

We had agreed she would keep watch at home.

We had agreed she would wait for him to bring the children back.

It's all just fucking lying to me!

That word was urging him.

Urging him to stop dealing with those endless flies outside.

This was her using her own life as bait.

She was buying him time for a final breakthrough!

Sun Wukong understood.

He understood everything.

He understood how that light shield came to be.

He also understood his current life.

It was exchanged for Yao's life, shattered to pieces.

That was an entire living life!

Grief surged up from his five viscera and six bowels.

It rushed straight up along his blood to the crown of his head.

At the instant his emotions peaked.

It directly transmuted into a rage capable of destroying Heaven and Earth!

"Ahhhhh—!"

Sun Wukong violently lifted his head.

Both hands clenched tightly onto his own scalp.

He let out the most mournful roar since breaking the seal beneath Five Fingers Mountain!

This sound directly pierced the atmosphere of that wasteland planet.

It shook the already shattered firmament into large-scale disintegration!

Visible sound waves turned into substantive shockwaves.

They pressed against the void and pushed outward in all directions!

Along the way, dozens of nearby dead stars.

In the instant the sound wave swept over them, they shattered on the spot into debris!

The entire vast star river trembled violently along with it!

Planetary debris turned into a meteor shower, scattering wildly in the gale.

A blazing ball of golden flame exploded from his chest.

The flames shot straight up to the horizon.

They directly burned through the vault of this star field!

The three-colored Chaos Dao primordial source that had been maintaining a fragile balance within his body.

At this moment he goes completely berserk!

Those grey logic chains representing order snap one by one.

The black power representing Negation is forcibly squeezed to the edge.

Now it dominates his body.

Only the most primitive and violent crimson-gold flame!

He can't bear it anymore.

He doesn't want to suppress that bloodthirsty urge seeping from his bones!

Screw the big picture!

Damn the long-term plan!

Go die, savior of the world!

The heart-rending pain of losing a beloved.

Regret for not being able to rush back to protect that foolish woman.

The frustration of being toyed with like a dog by the hidden mastermind.

All of this ferments and transforms at this moment.

It turns into a destructive urge with no reason whatsoever!

This urge burns red the corners of his eyes.

It boils his Divine Blood.

Even the Golden Armor on his body begins to melt and deform under this heat.

Sun Wukong lifts his head again.

His hand grips inch by inch that ordinary Chaos Dao Iron.

Those eyes that once always showed a hint of arrogance and calculation.

Now they have changed.

Inside, there is not a trace of human feeling.

No sorrow.

No reason either.

Only a simple madness that wants to smash this Heaven, this Earth, and the entire Universe into utter ruin.

He sees through the trick of the Original Mistake.

Using apostles to wreak havoc everywhere.

Forcing him to rush around putting out fires.

Even if he smashes one with a stick.

What good would that do?

Scrap copper and iron on the assembly line.

As long as the other side is willing.

They can churn out ten thousand more at any time.

This weary, desperate rationale.

It's utterly pointless.

"Trying to fool me with this junk."

Sun Wukong grins.

His mouth full of sharp teeth gnashes with a grating sound.

Between his gums oozes a few strands of golden blood.

"You think it's fun, don't you?"

Since you're going to move my last bottom line.

Then don't blame me for razing your lair outright!

Pull it out!

We must go pull it out!

Find the source hidden in the deepest place!

Skin it, pull out its tendons!

Chew it up and swallow it!

Even if we have to turn this Universe upside down, we must drag it out!

Sun Wukong holds the Chaos Dao Iron upside down.

The tip of the stick carves an extremely deep gouge in the ground.

Immediately after.

He suddenly stomps down with his foot.

The whole planet, already a scarred wasteland.

Can no longer withstand this terrifying explosive force.

It explodes apart from the very core of the earth!

The strata rupture.

Magma erupts.

Huge planetary fragments blast apart in all directions.

He transforms into a crimson-gold light of utter destruction amidst the flying meteors.

It pierced the void straight on.

It shot toward the unknown coordinate at the deepest part of the Universe!

But just as he pierced the gateway of the first layer of spatial turbulence.

The void ahead suddenly twisted violently.

All the Starlight around was drained by a strange force.

A faceless skull larger than a planet.

It forcibly squeezed out from the torn spatial rift.

It tightly blocked Sun Wukong's path.

The skull had no eyes nor nose.

Only a huge blood-filled mouth bristling with dense barbs.

As the giant mouth opened and closed.

It spat out a blurry image.

In the image.

It was precisely the gate of Wanshen Fenchang engraved with a mocking monkey head.

And at this moment.

The gentle light shield covering the gate, formed from Yao's life.

It was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the very top.

A hair-thin crack was rapidly spreading!

"You're pretty fast, monkey."

The faceless skull emitted a piercing strange laugh.

The sound wave shook the surrounding space, causing it to crumble.

"But you can't catch up."

"That annoying light shell."

"It's about to be ground into scraps."

The skull's giant mouth stretched to its limit.

Revealing rows of fangs dripping black water.

"That stupid woman died in vain after all."

"Now you guess."

"How many seconds can that old thing behind the door still live?"
