Chapter 2641: Enlightenment

"It had better be."

Casting a suspicious glance at Rulai, Maitreya closed his eyes once more to contemplate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, if any Saint-level existence were present at Lingshan, they would surely perceive that within the brilliant golden light, there seemed to be a faint trace of black Qi.

This black Qi originated from Rulai himself; it was constantly churning and drifting.

Amidst the churning black Qi, there was a strange, indescribable eeriness, slowly but firmly infecting the golden-lit Lingshan region.

Although Rulai appeared calm on the surface, deep down, he was in immense agony.

The perspective shifts back to that eerie world.

After Wu Feng's Primordial Spirit entered the body of Zhu Bajie, he felt the strangeness of this world.

Within this eerie world, there was a palpable malice toward outsiders.

The first to bear the brunt was the black figure on the riverbank, slowly walking toward Wu Feng and the others.

"Wukong, come quickly and protect your master! That thing is coming over!"

Tang Seng exclaimed.

"Then hide behind."

Sun Wukong muttered irritably, blocking the path in front of them.

Sha Wujing and the White Dragon Horse stood on either side, shielding Tang Seng in the center.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you..."

Sha Wujing looked at Wu Feng with curiosity.

Wu Feng, currently possessing Zhu Bajie, was acting uncharacteristically; instead of hiding behind Sun Wukong, he stood alongside him, facing the eerie figure walking slowly toward them.

"Wukong, this thing not only lacks a Primordial Spirit, but its figure doesn't seem to be a normal physical body either. You must be careful."

Ignoring Sha Wujing, Wu Feng whispered to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong nodded, signaling he would be careful, and stepped forward toward the eerie figure.

Time seemed to have no trace of humanity in this world; after the group waited until they were restless, Sun Wukong still had not met the eerie figure face-to-face.

On the contrary, the distance between the two sides had not decreased much.

The eerie figure's walking speed appeared to be getting faster, yet it never drew close to them.

"Why is this?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but turn back, puzzled, to ask Wu Feng.

Sun Wukong was very clever; seeing his Second Junior Brother—who usually disliked taking responsibility—standing by his side, and combining this with his words and demeanor, he instantly realized that this Second Junior Brother had been possessed by some great power.

And this great power seemed to have come to help their scripture-seeking team.

Facing Sun Wukong's inquiry, Wu Feng shook his head and cast his Mind's Eye toward the opposite side.

Instantly, the entire eerie figure began to move at a speed a thousand or ten thousand times faster within Wu Feng's Mind's Eye.

This was Wu Feng examining all the karmic traces of the eerie figure.

Between Heaven and Earth, no matter what kind of world it is, as long as there is sentient life, there will be karmic threads entangled upon them.

Through these karmic threads, Wu Feng could use his Mind's Eye to see the past and future of the eerie figure.

But the karmic images of the eerie figure that Wu Feng saw made him frown.

Because Wu Feng could not see the past of this eerie figure at all; he could only see the future.

And the future was that the eerie figure, after an unknown amount of time, finally approached them.

Then, almost in an instant, the eerie figure completely transformed into a black face as large as a city. ===== CHAPTER 2643 =====
