Chapter 166

~8 min read 1,571 words

Through the exchange just now, Sun Wukong understood that there was still a gap in strength between him and this Great Emperor Zhenwu.

Even if he used all his trump cards, it was still the same.

Of course, Sun Wukong could also choose to run away; perhaps with his strength, there was some possibility of escaping from Great Emperor Zhenwu's hands.

But if he did so, both his monkey descendants and Tianpeng would fall into the hands of the Tiangong.

How could he, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, do such a thing?

That violated the persistence and belief in his own heart.

Perhaps for some people, just selectively running away is nothing.

But for the current Sun Wukong, it won't do.

Because he is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

He wants to change his destiny.

Otherwise, what was he doing with all his previous efforts?

So, even if he dies today, he cannot run away.

Above Mount Huaguo.

Countless figures stood in the void, and the entire heaven and earth were quiet.

The aftermath of the power caused by Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Zhenwu just now also shocked those Tiangong immortal gods.

A trace of doubt arose in their hearts: can Sun Wukong be captured back this time?

Although Sun Wukong looked extremely embarrassed now, who knew if he still had any trump cards?

This was also the shock brought to the hearts of those heavenly soldiers and generals by Sun Wukong taking out trump cards one after another just now.

So at this very moment, these heavenly soldiers and generals did not secretly discuss anything, just watching quietly.

Sun Wukong had already made them have enough respect for him.

Being able to fight Great Emperor Zhenwu until now, he was no longer an ordinary demon.

That was a true great demon.

Many times, like these heavenly soldiers and generals, they could never encounter a great demon.

Because the result of encountering a great demon was only one, and that could be the consequence of death.

"Old man Zhenwu, impressive." Sun Wukong, with his body torn and bleeding, emitting the charred smell of flesh, had no pain on his face, but instead grinned.

For Sun Wukong, what is this little pain? If he couldn't even bear this pain, then what is there to talk about changing destiny?

"Sun Wukong." Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled lightly. "I have to admit, you are a good opponent. If there were no Tiangong orders, perhaps we could drink and talk happily."

"That won't be necessary." Sun Wukong's eyes radiated light. "And, old man Zhenwu, do you think you have me figured out?"

"Sun Wukong, although the strength you erupted is indeed good, you are still not my match." Great Emperor Zhenwu shook his head. "I think through the exchange just now, you also understand."

"I do understand." Sun Wukong said in a deep voice. "Even if I use all my trump cards, I am still not a match for you, old man Zhenwu."

"When I was an official in the Tiangong before, I heard that you, old man Zhenwu, were considered the number one Daluo in the Tiangong; now that I see it, it is indeed true." Sun Wukong said with admiration.

"Otherwise, if it were any other Daluo-level god in the Tiangong, I would have the confidence to fight them, or even defeat them."

Hearing these words from Sun Wukong, Great Emperor Zhenwu couldn't help but smile lightly.

If it were someone else praising him, Great Emperor Zhenwu would show disdain, but the Sun Wukong before him was an unruly character.

Even the Jade Emperor of the Tiangong would not hear any good words from Sun Wukong.

So Sun Wukong saying these words of praise, Zhenwu still felt somewhat pleased.

"Sun Wukong, you are joking; the number one Daluo, I dare not accept this title." Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled. "Whether it is the Buddhas of Western Fomen, the Yama in the Netherworld, or even the great demons of North Luzhou, their strength is also very strong."

"Sun Wukong, you must understand, even if you are not captured to the Tiangong this time, your destiny has already been decided." Great Emperor Zhenwu looked deeply at Sun Wukong and said earnestly.

Sun Wukong, being targeted by the entire Western Fomen and the two Western Saints, if it were him, Great Emperor Zhenwu, it would probably be very difficult to escape the predetermined destiny.

This Great Emperor Zhenwu could only express pity for Sun Wukong.

"Destiny has been decided." Sun Wukong's eyes changed slightly; he thought of the Journey to the West he had seen in the grocery store, and the destiny about him in it.

Perhaps that was his original destiny.

He was calculated by Western Fomen and became a member of the Journey to the West Kalpa; thinking of this, the emotions in Sun Wukong's heart couldn't help but become angry.

Since he knew his destiny, how could he be manipulated like a pawn?

Even if he dies this time, he will not walk into that destiny again.

If Sun Wukong didn't know his destiny, then perhaps he would still be like the past, becoming a part of the Journey to the West, just thinking it was his own choice.

But when Sun Wukong knew the truth and the future, the decision in his heart was already different.

"Old man Zhenwu, I have heard a sentence that fits here perfectly." Sun Wukong took a deep breath and said slowly.

"What sentence?" Great Emperor Zhenwu asked.

"I want this sky to no longer be able to cover my eyes, I want this earth to no longer be able to bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intent, I want those Buddhas to vanish into thin air..."

Sun Wukong's voice grew louder and louder, resounding through heaven and earth.

Everyone present was stunned; Sun Wukong would actually say such rebellious words.

Wanting to make the Buddhas vanish into thin air, does the other party want to destroy Western Fomen?

"No matter what, today, I am the master of my destiny."

"Roar..."

Sun Wukong let out a roar, and his body suddenly permeated with pitch-black light and aura; that was the power belonging to the extreme cold.

That was the power of the Demonic Dao.

This was diametrically opposed to the evil Qi of Sun Wukong's Chaos Demon Ape before.

"The power of the Demonic Dao, Sun Wukong has fallen into the demonic path." Great Emperor Zhenwu's expression changed.

With Sun Wukong's strength just now, if the other party fell into the demonic path, his strength would surge again; in this way, it would be somewhat tricky.

Wanting to successfully capture Sun Wukong would not be an easy matter.

Capturing alive and killing are completely two different means.

"No, that's not right, Sun Wukong has not fallen into the demonic path." Great Emperor Zhenwu gradually felt a familiar power fluctuation from the demonic Qi emanating from Sun Wukong.

He had felt this familiar power fluctuation not long ago; that was a power capable of suppressing him.

"It is..." A figure suddenly appeared in Great Emperor Zhenwu's mind. "Dizang Pusa."

That's right.

What Great Emperor Zhenwu felt from Sun Wukong was exactly the power of Dizang Pusa.

Back then, Dizang Pusa found the grocery store through Sun Wukong, and then changed his destiny; he could be considered to have a certain cause and effect with Sun Wukong.

It was precisely because of this that Dizang Pusa left his own power to Sun Wukong.

At a critical moment, Sun Wukong could use his power.

As for whether Sun Wukong would use it, Dizang Pusa had no doubts.

As one of the protagonists of the Journey to the West Kalpa, Western Fomen would not let Sun Wukong go so easily.

One must know that Western Fomen is now a top force in this world.

Not to mention the Quasi-Saints on the surface like Rulai, Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, there are no telling how many Western Fomen powerhouses are in the dark.

The Tiangong, Western Fomen, and the Netherworld are the three major forces in this world today.

Naturally.

Such forces exclude those few Saints.

After all, to a certain extent, behind these forces, there are the figures of Saints.

Otherwise, how could these forces have existed until now?

Tiangong.

It was originally a force ordered by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to be managed by Huang Tiandi.

It combined the disciples of the three sects of Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

It can be said that the Tiangong is the most complex force where powerhouses gather.

The Netherworld was originally created by the Ancestral Witch Houtu, and that Ancestral Witch Houtu also became a Saint.

But in the Netherworld, there is not only Houtu, but also the shadows of other Saints.

Like Dizang Pusa staying in the Netherworld before, that was Houtu's compromise to the two Western Saints.

And the last one, Western Fomen, although it was established for the shortest time, it was also the simplest behind the scenes, with only two Saints.

That is the two Western Saints.

In order to fulfill their past vows of becoming Saints, the two Western Saints turned the Western Sect into Buddhism.

This also allowed Western Fomen's growth to have no other obstacles, unlike the other two forces, where the several Saints would not work together.
