Chapter 452: Shield Shattered!

The Original Mistake's final struggle!

The Tiěbàng slammed down.

Red‑gold light collided with the ash‑white shield.

Boom!

The entire void exploded.

The sound was terrifyingly loud.

It wasn't that muffled rumble.

It was a sharp, ear‑piercing blast that could shatter eardrums.

Immediately after,

a visible shockwave erupted from the impact point.

Where the shockwave passed,

the void shattered into fragments.

Space was torn.

The dimension was ripped open.

Even the flow of time went chaotic.

In the distance,

Wanshen Fenchang's ruins began to quake violently.

The demonic god skeletons buried underground were shaken out.

tumbling Mid‑Air.

Then swept by the shockwave.

and turned directly to ash.

Bodhi leaned against the broken wall.

sensed that terrifying energy fluctuation.

He squinted.

His fingers lightly tapped the stone beside him.

"This monkey."

"His attacks are getting harsher."

Ahead,

Sun Wukong gripped the Tiěbàng tightly.

The contact point between the Tiěbàng and the shield.

was bursting forth with dazzling light.

Within that light, red‑gold and ash‑white colors intermingled.

They gnawed at each other.

They devoured each other.

Neither yielding to the other.

Sun Wukong's face flushed bright red.

His Monkey Heart in his chest pounded wildly.

Each beat.

sent scorching power into the Tiěbàng.

On the shield's surface,

fine cracks began to appear.

One.

Two.

Three.

More and more.

spreading like a spiderweb.

The Original Mistake's voice came from behind the shield.

This time it sounded distinctly panicked.

"Impossible!"

"This shield was forged by me from the despair of countless civilizations!"

"How could it crack!"

It wildly mobilized the remaining Power of Negation within its body.

Ash‑white mist surged from its body.

Rushed madly into the shield.

Those cracks began to heal.

Ash‑white light once again covered the shield's surface.

Sun Wukong watched the cracks heal.

grinned.

"Repair?"

"I'll see how many times you can repair it!"

He takes a deep breath.

The thumping of Monkey Heart suddenly becomes clear.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The sound is like war drums.

It reverberates throughout the void.

With each beat.

Sun Wukong's power surges by a notch.

The crimson‑gold light on Tiěbàng grows ever more dazzling.

The shield's surface, the cracks that had just healed.

Split open again.

And wider than before.

Deeper.

The voice of Original Mistake takes on a sobbing tone.

"Stop!"

"Don't press any more!"

"I know I'm wrong!"

Sun Wukong doesn't listen at all.

He lets out a roar.

"Wrong?"

"You only now realize you're wrong?"

"Too late!"

The power on Tiěbàng surges again.

The shield begins to shake violently.

Those cracks spread even faster.

It looks as if the shield is about to give way.

Original Mistake suddenly quiets.

That hysterical scream disappears.

In its place is an extremely dangerous Deathly Silence.

Sun Wukong feels a thump in his heart.

This old thing is off.

Indeed.

The next second.

Behind the shield.

Suddenly shoots out countless black fine needles.

Each needle is as thick as a chopstick.

Wrapped in dense gray‑white mist.

That is pure Power of Negation.

The needles' target.

Is not Sun Wukong.

It is Bodhi!

The voice of Original Mistake comes.

This time with a mad snarl.

"Monkey!"

"Aren't you powerful!"

"Then keep smashing!"

"Smash the shield!"

"But you, that undying old one."

"Will have to be pierced by my poison spikes into a sieve!"

"You choose!"

"Save him!"

"Or smash me!"

Those black poison spikes move at extreme speed.

In the blink of an eye they fly hundreds of meters.

It looks like they'll pierce Bodhi.

Sun Wukong's peripheral vision catches those poison spikes.

His Tiěbàng pauses for an instant.

But only for an instant.

Immediately after.

He not only did not take the staff.

Instead, he increased the force.

He shouted loudly toward the distance.

"Master!"

"I'm counting on you!"

Just as his words fell.

In the distance.

Bodhi opened their eyes.

A glint of sharp light flashed in those cloudy eyes.

He raised his right hand.

A light flick.

Ding!

A ray of clear light flew from his fingertip.

The clear light was very weak.

It looked like it could go out at any moment.

But it was this weak clear light.

It blocked in front of all the poisonous spines.

Those black poisonous spines struck the clear light.

It was like striking an iron plate.

They shattered on the spot into powder.

Not a single one got through.

Bodhi lowered their hand.

Bodhi closed their eyes again.

A hint of a smile curled at the corner of their mouth.

"Stupid monkey."

"Finally you trust this old man."

Original Mistake saw their sneak attack easily resolved.

Their entire existence froze.

"How is that possible!"

"Isn't that old thing burnt out!"

"How can it still be able!"

Sun Wukong heard these words.

He laughed even more happily.

"Burnt out?"

"If my master is burnt out,"

"Can still deal with you, this junk?"

He said.

The power on the Tiěbàng suddenly erupted.

That was not a slight increase.

It instantly doubled.

The Monkey Heart's beating sounded like a machine gun.

Dong dong dong dong dong!

The crimson-gold light completely overwhelmed the gray-white mist.

The cracks on the shield's surface no longer healed.

Instead, they spread wildly.

Crack!

A crisp sound.

A huge gap split open in the center of the shield.

Original Mistake let out a miserable shriek.

"No!"

"Don't!"

"I'm begging you!"

"Don't smash it!"

Sun Wukong used all his strength.

The Monkey Heart in his chest beat like it was about to explode.

His body began to glow.

Crimson-gold light seeped out from his pores.

His whole person was like a sun.

"Beg?"

"Now begging is useless!"

Smash it for me!

The last inch as the Tiěbàng pressed down.

The shield could no longer hold up.

Boom!

The whole shield burst apart.

Turned into countless gray-white Debris.

Scattered across the void, flying everywhere.

Then.

Quickly dissipated.

Sun Wukong pulled back the Tiěbàng.

He gasped heavily, breathing hard.

He felt his bones ringing all over his body.

That blow just now.

It drained all his strength.

But.

It was worth it.

Ahead.

The moment the shield shattered.

Three fused anchor points became visible.

Those three anchor points lost the shield's protection.

Exposed in the void.

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

He hoisted the Tiěbàng and prepared to charge forward.

But just then.

Original Mistake's body suddenly changed.

That huge gray-white outline.

Began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Like a deflating balloon.

Becoming flatter and flatter.

Getting smaller and smaller.

In the blink of an eye.

From a giant tens of thousands of feet tall.

Shrank into a humanoid figure about ten meters tall.

Sun Wukong stopped in his tracks.

He stared at the shrinking figure.

His gaze turned wary.

"Playing tricks."

"What other tricks are you trying?"

Original Mistake did not answer.

It lowered its head.

Its body trembled slightly.

Gray-white mist drifted off its body in wisps.

Then dissipated.

Just as Sun Wukong thought it would give up resistance.

It suddenly lifted its head.

On its faceless face.

A huge crack split open.

Inside the crack was pure black void.

Its voice came.

This time it was no longer madness.

Nor was it fear anymore.

But rather an extreme cold.

And.

Malice.

"Monkey."

"You won."

"But."

"You think."

"Your master's Dao Heart."

"How long can it stay inside my body?"

Sun Wukong's complexion changed.

Original Mistake continued speaking.

"When I swallowed it."

"Around it."

"I buried three thousand seals."

"Each seal."

"Each seal is slowly eroding its Primordial Source."

"You shattered my shield."

"Leaving me without a foothold."

"But."

"Before I completely dissipate."

"Those three thousand seals."

"Will detonate early."

"When that happens."

"Your master's Dao Heart."

"Will be destroyed together with me."

"Totally annihilated."

It finished saying that.

Its whole body began to disintegrate.

Turning into gray‑white mist.

Spreading in all directions.

Sun Wukong stood dumbfounded.

A buzzing sound rang in his mind.

From afar.

Bodhi opened his eyes.

Their complexion was somewhat pale.

Yet their expression remained calm.

"Monkeyhead."

"Don't listen to its nonsense."

"It's deceiving you."

Sun Wukong snapped back to his senses.

"Right."

Master is right.

That old thing is definitely tricking him.

But at that moment.

In those dissipating gray‑white mists.

A faint sound suddenly echoed.

Ding.

A weak speck of light flew out of the mist.

It was Bodhi's Dao Heart.

The surface of the speck.

Was covered with densely packed gray‑white runes.

Each rune.

Was flickering.

Sun Wukong's pupils contracted sharply.

He recognized those runes.

They were Original Mistake's seals.

Moreover.

They were counting down.
