The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 57: Bringing in Reinforcements


The sky was ablaze with fierce battle, turning into a vast sea of fire, and from time to time, roaring explosions shattered, shaking heaven and earth.

The strong wind blew Sun Wukong's clothes, his eyes were ablaze with intense light, and Jingu Bang unleashed a torrent of immense power, striking the Buddha Beads and exploding into a dazzling glare.

The Buddha Beads were no match for Sun Wukong, and their form split into tens of thousands, densely packed and standing tall in the sky.

"Think not you can escape!"

The light in Sun Wukong's eyes grew even more fierce, as if two flames were overflowing, capable of burning everything.

Once employed, his Eyes of Golden Flame pierced through all night illusions, reaching directly to their essence.

"There."

Sun Wukong's eyes shot out two beams of golden light, piercing through a void.

"Wu wa..."

The Buddha Beads were struck out.

He wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring angrily at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong once again spurred his form, charging towards the Buddha Beads, Jingu Bang ignited with flames, which was quite astonishing.

"I don't believe you're this strong!"

The Buddha Beads, furious, shone all over their body, vague and hazy, faintly resonating with heaven and earth.

"Sun Wukong, I'm one step ahead of you, having merged with this world."

Bathed in light, the Buddha Beads exuded a powerful aura: "You can't possibly defeat me!"

It took him tens of thousands of years to be reborn and have his fleshly body recognized by heaven and earth, capable of wielding full power.

Sun Wukong had only been here for a mere few months, how could he compare to him.

"Die!"

The Buddha Beads met the battle head-on, the runes on the Tin Staff flowing, bursting out bright light towards the Golden Hoop Staff.

"Boom!"

The Tin Staff and the Golden Hoop collided, making a loud sound, like two giant peaks crashing, and the sky thundered, shaking the wilderness.

Sun Wukong's expression changed, the collision with the dazzling Tin Staff causing numbness in his arm.

"What exactly is this Magical Treasure?"

Sun Wukong's thoughts raced, but instantly retracted into his mind.

He would not be distracted during battle.

The Buddha Beads were strong, but he was stronger!

Sun Wukong swung one staff after another, with a loud bang, followed by another, the fierce strikes crushing the Buddha Beads' resistance, shattering all their protective runes.

This was an overwhelming and relentless assault!

"Boom!"

Divine Power clashed with Divine Power in the sky, the night was illuminated by fire, everywhere aflame, an astonishing sight.

Creatures on the ground were startled by the intense noise, panicked and seeking places to hide.

The battle between Sun Wukong and the Buddha Beads was so colossal that even the earth trembled.

The creatures on the ground looked up to see the Buddha Beads shining with blinding light, their moves fierce and unmatched.

While Sun Wukong's body shone like gold, with overwhelming momentum, every swing of Jingu Bang there were flames burning fiercely in the high sky.

The flames were so resplendent that they made hearts tremble, yet so hot that they made legs weaken.

Both beauty and terror were displayed in the sky, as Sun Wukong, with rolling firelight, dominantly crushed the Buddha Beads.

Everyone was shocked.

"How powerful exactly is the Heavenly Emperor?"

"This is too terrifying!"

In the flames, creatures could only see Sun Wukong swinging his staff down, one after another.

The more he fought, the stronger he became, and the entire sky under his staff formed ripples, undulating and seemingly ready to shatter at any moment.

"Clang"

A loud bang, Jingu Bang knocked away the Tin Staff, pressing down on the Buddha Beads with overwhelming firelight, like a falling sun.

The Buddha Beads roared loudly, light emanating in front of them, several Magical Treasures appeared, so bright that one could not open their eyes.

"So it's with you!"

Sun Wukong swung his staff down, stroke after stroke piercing heaven and earth, destroying the Magical Treasures, invincible!

The Buddha Beads were blasted away by him.

"So powerful!"

"He's even stronger than Master!"

Two Daoists watching from the west witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel aghast in their hearts.

Such a powerful being was extremely rare, even during the most prosperous times of the Brahma Void Heavenly Court.

No wonder their master was so determined to find Sun Wukong; he truly is a peerless War God!

Sun Wukong transformed into a divine rainbow, piercing through the body of Buddha Beads.

Buddha Beads screamed in agony, blood drenched and plummeted from the sky to the ground.

He looked at Sun Wukong with rage, only to meet those Eyes of Golden Flame.

Those blazing eyes reflected a chill, icy glint as if he regarded him as nothing.

"Admit defeat!"

Sun Wukong said.

Buddha Beads was both shocked and infuriated.

He had no doubt that if he continued to resist, he would soon be slain right here.

Sun Wukong was different from what he had imagined.

Half sun, half ice.

This Heavenly Emperor was single-mindedly pushing forward, with not the slightest compromise, no one could change his will.

Gentleness and dominance, bizarrely combined in one person.

"I was wrong."

Buddha Beads declared: "Even if you uncover the truth of Chaos, you will not change."

Never doubting his own path.

That is the true nature of Sun Wukong.

He appears gentle, but in reality, he is more stubborn than anyone else.

For the sake of his ideals, he will not falter.

"Ridiculous!"

Buddha Beads laughed coldly: "You have your obstinacy, do we not have ours?"

He was already covered in wounds, yet intense rage surged within him.

This anger was directed both at Sun Wukong and at themselves.

A dazzling light suddenly exploded from Buddha Beads, broke through the clouds, and struck Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was sent flying by the huge impact.

"What kind of power is this?"

He steadied himself and looked towards the ground.

Buddha Beads' body exploded, shooting out numerous beams of light, intertwining into a flaming bird, soaring into the sky with an enormous body that eclipsed the sun, utterly terrifying!

This fiery bird was very special, nearly transparent in body, with endless flows of True Sun Fire around it, lighting up the darkness the moment it appeared, turning the whole world bright.

This was the strongest form obtained by Buddha Beads through the sacrifice of his own life.

"So you've killed the Demon Beast King."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with brilliance, instantly understanding much.

Buddha Beads must have slain the Demon Beast King, gaining the power of the sun.

Sun Wukong did not dare to be careless, clenched Jingu Bang, and turned into a divine light rushing over.

The fiery bird flapped its wings to meet him in battle, instantly unleashing billowing flames and fiercest fire that covered the sky; their collision erupted with endless radiance.

"That Buddha Beads must have gone mad."

The male Daoist said: "Without a solar physique, igniting the True Sun Fire, it will eventually self-immolate to death."

"Opting for sacrifice just for victory."

The female Daoist's face was grim: "Why is every Buddha Beads so obstinate?"

The Venerable's other followers were equally unbending. Even as enemies, one could sense their unwavering determination.

What secrets did this Chaos hold, to make Buddha Beads and the others pay such a price?

Looking back to the sky, despite Buddha Beads igniting the True Sun Fire, he was ultimately no match for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was overwhelmingly powerful, his Golden Hoop Staff piercing the heavens.

His figure seemed born for battle; each fight made him stronger and stronger—

Since the beginning of his cultivation, he had never been defeated.

This is Sun Wukong.

Buddha Beads exerted all his might in an attempt to kill him, but gained no advantage; the flames quickly extinguished.

This way, death was certain!

Unable to withstand any longer, Buddha Beads decided to use his final move.

"Heavenly Dog!"

He shouted out loud, calling for reinforcements.
