Chapter 811: The Saint Zhunti

Although the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls were operated by Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong was merely a Luo Jinxian, and the magic power of a mere Luo Jinxian was like a drop in the bucket for the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls.

Of course, all of this was merely superficial.

In reality, the true operator of the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls was the Chaos Pearl.

As a Chaos Treasure and specifically a space-type Chaos Treasure, the Chaos Pearl could absorb and expel an astonishing amount of energy with each breath, more than sufficient to sustain the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls in battle.

But this fact was not yet suitable for exposure.

"Hold on, Old Sun!"

Seeing the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls beginning to fall behind, Sun Wukong growled lowly, then suddenly transformed into a giant ape millions of zhang tall, pouring his inner power continuously into the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls.

Not only Sun Wukong, but the other members of the pilgrimage team also acted, channeling their own energy into the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls.

Seeing this, Luo Fu, who was in the Outermost Heaven, did not speak to stop them, but smiled as he watched Sun Wukong and the others.

Reversing the Journey to the West was, for Luo Fu, merely a quest with an exceptionally rich reward; even if it failed, it was nothing more than a cost to be paid.

With Luo Fu's current resources, he could easily afford this cost.

Thus, even if the Journey to the West failed, it would not greatly affect Luo Fu.

But for Sun Wukong, it was different.

The Journey to the West was Sun Wukong's life.

Whether or not the Journey to the West could be reversed determined whether Sun Wukong's fate would change.

Fate was in one's own hands; only the fate one struggled to change held true value.

For this reason, Luo Fu did not stop Sun Wukong and the others from pouring magic power into the million pearls.

Though the magic power Sun Wukong and the others poured in was negligible compared to the million pearls, it was still Sun Wukong's effort to alter his fate.

"It seems your Dao heart is exceedingly firm, Friend Luo Fu—so calm even in the face of defeat."

Noticing Luo Fu's smile, Saint Zhunti could not help but speak with sarcasm.

Of course, Saint Zhunti spoke not merely to mock, but mostly to test.

The current situation was clear: though the number of Pure Heaven Divine Pearls had swelled to a million, they still fell far short of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

If the confrontation continued, the million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls would inevitably be drained of energy by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

In this case, Luo Fu was virtually certain to lose.

Yet Luo Fu still wore a smile—this made Saint Zhunti instinctively grow wary.

Since Luo Fu appeared in the Three Realms, every one of his appearances had brought surprises.

Saint Zhunti could not guarantee Luo Fu had no further tricks up his sleeve.

"Haha, victory and defeat are commonplace—there must be winners and losers. Besides, I'm not certain I'll lose."

Luo Fu chuckled lightly, speaking with utter calmness, as if victory or defeat meant nothing to him.

Yet the faint confidence hidden in his tone set Saint Zhunti's alarm bells ringing loudly.

"Do you have some hidden trick left?"

No sooner had Luo Fu finished speaking than Saint Zhunti immediately pressed further.

At this moment, Saint Zhunti had completely lost his Saintly dignity.

One must admit, Luo Fu's endless tricks had placed tremendous pressure on Saint Zhunti.

Even as a Saint, Saint Zhunti could not help but admire Luo Fu's methods—many of Luo Fu's techniques were beyond even a Saint's reach.

This time, Luo Fu did not answer Saint Zhunti's question, but merely smiled and kept his gaze fixed on the Western Paradise.

Seeing Luo Fu did not directly respond, Saint Zhunti, though eager to probe further, had no choice but to fall silent.

He was still a Saint; he needed to preserve some basic dignity.

Asking once and receiving no answer had already compromised his Saintly bearing—if he asked again, he would be utterly shameless.

Suppressing his wariness deep within, Saint Zhunti redirected his attention back to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

Whether or not Luo Fu had a hidden trick, the most important thing now was still to shatter the Mirror Array.

Only by shattering the Mirror Array could they know whether Luo Fu had any further tricks.

Shhh! Shhh!

The prayers of hundreds of millions of devotees rose again; under their prayers, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the golden Buddha's hand glowed once more with seven-colored Buddhist light.

Boom!

Another beam of seven-colored light shot forth from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, striking the Mirror Array.

Hum!

Facing the second seven-colored beam, the Mirror Array did not sit idle.
