Chapter 815

Unfortunately, the Void Gate did not succeed as hoped.

The golden Buddha's attack directly shattered space, bypassing the Void Gate entirely, continuing to strike the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

The Space Dao is also somewhat mastered by the Two Western Saints.

Facing Jin Guang's blockade, the Void Gate continued to struggle.

In the end, the Void Gate halted just a short distance from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, as if giving up its struggle.

The Void Gate ceased its struggle, but the golden Buddha did not stop attacking.

Under the golden Buddha's assault, the magic power of the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls was nearly exhausted; the purifying light they emitted had become faint beyond notice, as if about to vanish in the next instant.

"Hold firm, old Sun!"

Seeing this situation, Sun Wukong desperately channeled his inner magic power into the Net Heaven Divine Pearls, trying to help the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls sustain the array.

Yet compared to the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls, Sun Wukong's magic power was truly insignificant.

With massive depletion of magic power, Sun Wukong could no longer maintain his form; the other four were the same—their magic power was nearly drained.

If no unexpected event occurred, Sun Wukong and the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls would all be utterly spent.

Without magic power supply, the array would inevitably break.

Once the array was broken, the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls and Sun Wukong and the others could not possibly withstand the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

No surprise—there would be a surprise.

With Luo Fu's methods, how could he have no backup plan?

If he truly had no backup, Luo Fu would have simply surrendered long ago, rather than letting Sun Wukong manipulate the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls to hold out against the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

After all, winning or losing the Journey to the West wager meant nothing to Luo Fu.

Even if he lost the bet, Luo Fu still had ways to win back elsewhere.

Watching the array about to be breached, Luo Fu's lips suddenly curled into a mysterious smile.

"Sun Wukong, I grant you authority over the Void Gate—use it to deliver a fatal strike against the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array!"

Just as Sun Wukong was about to be utterly spent, Luo Fu's voice sounded again in his mind.

Hearing Luo Fu's voice, Sun Wukong revived instantly.

Under normal circumstances, before the terrifying might of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, even Yan would likely feel no will to resist.

Yan's scale pales immensely compared to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

Even with Sun Wukong commanding the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls, a vast gap still remained between him and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

Under the condition of nearly exhausting all magic power, with the array formed by the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls on the verge of collapse, Sun Wukong should have felt despair.

Yet Sun Wukong felt not the slightest trace of despair.

The reason? Naturally, it was the confidence Luo Fu had instilled in him.

Even at the final moment before defeat, Sun Wukong still believed Luo Fu possessed a way to turn the tide and win.

Having witnessed Luo Fu's endless array of methods, Sun Wukong had been utterly convinced, and now trusted him unconditionally.

Sun Wukong's trust was not misplaced—Luo Fu indeed had a backup plan.

And Luo Fu had entrusted this backup plan to Sun Wukong to wield.

Letting Sun Wukong activate the backup plan to destroy the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array was most fitting.

The Journey to the West wager began because of Sun Wukong, and should end because of him.

Under Luo Fu's guidance, Sun Wukong's consciousness directly connected to the Void Gate.

Instantly, Sun Wukong sensed the terrifying power stored within the Void Gate.

While the golden Buddha struck the mirror array, the Void Gate had been continuously absorbing the magic power generated by their mutual annihilation.

In other words, over half of the magic power consumed by the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls had been absorbed by the Void Gate.

As for the golden Buddha's power, the Void Gate absorbed even more.

To shatter the mirror array, the golden Buddha had paid no heed to magic power expenditure.

The magic power absorbed from the golden Buddha was several times greater than that consumed by the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

That is to say, since the golden Buddha began striking the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls,

Though it seemed the golden Buddha held the upper hand, in truth, the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls had always held the advantage.

The Void Gate's magic power was the magic power of the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

Over half the consumed magic power had been recovered, while simultaneously absorbing several times more from the golden Buddha.

This meant the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls had not lost any magic power at all—instead, they had absorbed vast amounts from the golden Buddha.

The instant his consciousness connected to the Void Gate, Sun Wukong, following Luo Fu's instruction, issued commands to it.

Hum!

Under Sun Wukong's mental command, the vast magic power stored within the Void Gate immediately began to boil and burn.

The next instant, all this magic power was transformed by the Void Gate into new Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

The Void Gate suddenly contained another million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

Yes, another million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

The energy absorbed from the golden Buddha had fully condensed into a million Net Heaven Divine Pearls.

As if a million were still insufficient, the Void Gate then caused the million Net Heaven Divine Pearls to split—first into two, then into four.

The million Net Heaven Divine Pearls instantly multiplied into four million.

Compared to the original, the newly split Net Heaven Divine Pearls appeared noticeably weakened, with cracks constantly forming on their surfaces, as if about to burst at any moment.

Once the four million Net Heaven Divine Pearls formed, a spatial displacement force suddenly acted upon them.

Simultaneously, the Void Gate itself began to move.

As the Void Gate moved, the golden light barrier moved with it.

This time, the Xukong Portal appeared extremely close to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, even pressed directly against its protective barrier.

As expected, under the influence of spatial force, the golden barrier continued to materialize around the Xukong Portal, sealing it off.

In the instant the Xukong Portal appeared, a surge of spatial force stirred once more.

This time, the spatial force did not act upon the Xukong Portal.

The golden barrier had just been transported via spatial force; since the Xukong Portal had not moved, the golden barrier did not intercept the unknown spatial ripples.

This surge of spatial displacement naturally moved the four million Jingtian Divine Pearls.
