The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 330: Announcement to All Beings


Flames ignited from the wound, and the body of the Jade Emperor transformed into light dust, dispersing across the sky.

Sun Wukong watched this scene, feeling lost and empty.

However, following the dispersion of the light dust, a treasure seal adorned with colorful sparks slowly ascended.

It resembled the rising sun, its splendid radiance lighting up the clouds the moment it appeared.

"Jade Seal."

Sun Wukong reached out to grab it, but his hand passed right through, unable to touch it.

"How could this be..."

Sun Wukong was shocked.

He looked up at the Jade Seal, its dazzling brilliance piercing through heaven and earth, as if to blind everyone daring to gaze upon it.

The entire Three Realms resonated with it, and even the Heavenly Dao seemed to shift.

With the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Seal would disappear as well, awaiting its master's reawakening.

But Sun Wukong would not allow such a thing to happen.

He stood up amidst the intense light, against the whistling wind, soaring into the sky.

"Sun Wukong."

A furious shout suddenly came from afar.

Sun Wukong's body stiffened, and he looked over, only to see The Three Pure Ones rushing over.

"How dare you coerce Your Majesty—"

Yuqing's face was deathly pale.

Sun Wukong glanced at them and then averted his gaze, flying towards the Jade Seal.

The Jade Seal seemed to sense something, as bunches of dazzling flames appeared around it, roaring dangerously as they lunged at Sun Wukong.

"Your Majesty is fine."

At that moment, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad stretched out his hand, catching some particles of the remaining light dust.

After sensing for a while, he said, "His Majesty's Immortal Body is damaged, and he has descended to the Lower Realm."

"He will awaken again in several decades."

The immortals breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, please find a way to stop that demon monkey!"

Four Heavenly Masters looked to the sky: "He's going to take the Jade Seal!"

Sun Wukong was already near the Jade Seal, its blinding light stinging his eyes, and the fierce flames burning on him could not stop his approach.

"Don't panic, he can't take it away!"

Shangqing said, "That Jade Seal carries the Heavenly Dao, bearing the will of all beings, how could a mere demon monkey touch it!"

As if to prove his point, Sun Wukong reached out several times, indeed unable to touch the Jade Seal.

Furthermore, sensing his approach, the Jade Seal erupted with even fiercer flames.

Amidst the crackling sounds of shattering, the flames burned through Sun Wukong's Protective Immortal Light, and his skin began to crack.

"How can this be?"

He retracted his hand, surprised at the Jade Seal's resistance.

Why?

This scenario had not unfolded in the minor world.

As Sun Wukong puzzled over this, a grand voice suddenly echoed from above.

"Sun Wukong, you presume to change the Heavenly Dao, heaven and earth will not tolerate this."

A pair of gigantic hands descended from the sky, reaching for the Jade Seal with astonishing momentum: "Before the Jade Emperor awakens, I shall keep the Jade Seal in my custody."

The immortals were overjoyed: "Buddha!"

Sun Wukong looked up and saw the illusion of the Buddha.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, stating that someone who didn't dare to show his real body had no right to compete with him for the Jade Seal.

Sun Wukong's thoughts stirred, and suddenly, dozens of shimmering figures appeared behind him.

They were his avatars.

The avatars, wielding the Jingu Bang, charged towards the illusion of the Buddha.

Fireworks exploded in the sky, blocking the Buddha's handiwork.

Sun Wukong turned his gaze towards the Jade Seal; if it was unwilling to accept him, he would take it by force.

The Wanling diagram unfolded behind him, like an impenetrable starry sky, shooting out countless threads to entangle the Jade Seal.

The Jade Seal roared trying to break free, but was firmly suppressed by the Wanling diagram.

For about the duration of an incense stick, the resistance of the Jade Seal gradually weakened and began to slowly approach Sun Wukong.

"How can this be!"

Witnessing this scene, the immortals were horrified, wondering what would become of the Three Realms if the Jade Seal was grasped by Sun Wukong.

Yuqing and Shangqing discussed for a moment, intending to stop Sun Wukong, but Emperor Qinghua intercepted them.

"Qinghua, have you still not seen the error of your ways?"

Yuqing asked.

Emperor Qinghua shook his head.

At that moment, another figure also stood in their way.

"Zhen Yuan, you too..."

Shangqing looked towards Immortal Zhenyuan.

"I heard the Jade Emperor has passed the Three Realms to my younger brother."

Immortal Zhenyuan said, "Why not see what methods my younger brother employs?"

Yuqing and Shangqing frowned.

The best opportunity had already been missed.

They could defeat the two, but it would be difficult to defeat them before Sun Wukong took the Jade Seal.

"Amitabha."

The Buddha in the sky also withdrew his hand.

"With the Heavenly Emperor fallen, chaos engulfs the Three Realms, this is fate."

The Buddha said, "My Lingshan will open its doors wide, inviting all immortals to take refuge."

The immortals were immediately abuzz.

Yuqing and Shangqing exchanged glances; if they couldn't stop Sun Wukong from taking the Jade Seal, then the immortals remaining in the Heavenly Palace would have to obey him.

This was something they could not bear.

"The demon monkey usurps the heavens, what qualifications does he have to assume the title of Heavenly Emperor!"

Emperor Ziwei turned around, addressing the assembly of immortals: "We could temporarily reside in Lingshan, waiting for His Majesty's return, you may join me."

"Yes."

Many of the immortals nodded.

"We will not go to Lingshan."

At this moment, The Three Pure Ones spoke, "Emperor Donghua, are the Ten States and Three Islands open to us?"

The ever-silent Emperor Donghua slightly nodded.

"Then let us depart!"

The Three Pure Ones led the way, and celestial beings scattered in all directions, not waiting for Sun Wukong to obtain the Jade Seal.

That evening, countless shooting stars descended towards the direction of Lingshan and the Ten States and Three Islands, with a few falling to the ground.

Emperor Qinghua watched the immortals dispersing everywhere, sighing softly, yet did not stop them.

He and Immortal Zhenyuan stayed, looking towards the sky.

The light in the sky gradually faded.

Emperor Qinghua looked up at the sky, at the center of that space, a golden figure silently floated.

Sun Wukong held the Jade Seal, looking down at the empty Heavenly Palace.

"Great Saint."

Emperor Qinghua said somberly, "I can't stop them."

"It doesn't matter."

Sun Wukong's eyes contained blazing flames, showing no sign of sorrow or regret.

This was the anticipated result; as long as he held the Jade Seal, no one in the Three Realms could stop him.

Sun Wukong shifted his gaze, his eyes suddenly shining with a bright light.

"Lift up your heads..."

The crisp voice instantly spread throughout the Three Realms.

Lingshan, the mortal world, the Underworld... everyone could hear this voice.

"Second Great King!"

"Second Great King, did you hear that?"

Huaguo Mountain, the clouds still battled fiercely.

The sudden voice surrounded Ao Luan with demons.

"That's the Great King's voice, what exactly happened?"

Two dazzling rays of light suddenly pierced through the dense clouds and battlefield, illuminating everything.

All those in battle involuntarily looked up, a vast Wanling map slowly unfolded in the sky, bursting with endless power.

"Announcing to all beings."

Sun Wukong's voice echoed in their ears.

"I will take control of the Three Realms."

It was a voice of chaos and change.
