Chapter 899

But the Buddhist disciples he encountered along the way were all too weak, barely stirring any fighting spirit in Sun Wukong.

Since comprehending the Dao of War, Sun Wukong had longed most for a bloody battle that threatened him, not this—bullying a group of weaklings.

Roar!

A furious roar erupted from Sun Wukong's mouth.

Sun Wukong's form began to grow continuously, and in mere moments, his body swelled to a million zhang.

Not enough—after restoring his million-zhang form, Sun Wukong's body continued expanding, his aura steadily rising.

Splash!

The spiritual energy of the entire Bombarding Lingshan immediately formed a vortex, sucked relentlessly into Sun Wukong.

In just dozens of breaths, Sun Wukong's aura naturally surged past the Luo Jinxian realm and broke into the Quasi-Saint layer.

After ten thousand years of refinement by Luo Fu, Sun Wukong's magic power had long been polished to the absolute limit of Luo Jinxian, and his Dao comprehension had already surpassed into the Quasi-Saint layer.

Had it not been for the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong would have broken into the Quasi-Saint layer long ago.

Now that the Journey to the West was over, Sun Wukong no longer needed to suppress his realm; breaking into the Quasi-Saint layer became a natural consequence.

After breaking into the Quasi-Saint layer, Sun Wukong's form rose accordingly, expanding to ten million zhang.

Worse still, countless blood-red patterns surfaced across his body, and behind him appeared the spectral shadow of the Chaotic Demon Monkey.

The newly ascended Sun Wukong immediately pushed his combat power to its peak.

Raising the colossal Ruyi Jingu Bang above his head, Sun Wukong poured all his magic power, battle intent, and the Dao forces he had connected into the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

The golden Ruyi Jingu Bang was instantly shrouded in a layer of solidified blood-red light.

"Heaven-Opening Ninth Form: Staff Sweeps Demons!"

Boom!

A series of air explosions erupted around the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Sun Wukong swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang and smashed it directly into Bombarding Lingshan.

Since he could not find a worthy Buddhist disciple to fight, he might as well destroy Bombarding Lingshan outright—it would be far more satisfying.

The massive Ruyi Jingu Bang, like a pillar holding up the heavens, crushed the air with violent force and slammed straight into Bombarding Lingshan.

Crash!

Contrary to Sun Wukong's expectation of Bombarding Lingshan collapsing instantly, just as the Ruyi Jingu Bang neared the mountain, a halo of Buddhist light suddenly appeared around the entire mountain.

Boundless Buddhist light enveloped Bombarding Lingshan completely.

This halo of Buddhist light was Bombarding Lingshan's protective mountain array.

Bombarding Lingshan was the holy land of the Naishifu Sect; it could not possibly lack a protective mountain array.

But the deaths of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had thrown the entire Naishifu Sect into chaos; its leading great cultivators had either been captured or fled, and no one remembered to activate the protective array.

As Sun Wukong was about to shatter Bombarding Lingshan with one blow of his staff, someone finally recalled the protective array and activated it.

The Naishifu Sect's protective mountain array had been personally arranged by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

In its prime, even a Quasi-Saint at the peak could not break it.

Without a master to guide it, the protective array clearly could not unleash its full power.

Yet it was still more than enough to block Sun Wukong's strike.
