The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 61: Blood Sea


Vast and boundless Chaos, immeasurably expansive.

A streak of light swiftly traversed through the Chaos.

Sun Wukong had been flying through this vast expanse of Chaos for ten days, but had seen nothing at all.

"My good brother."

Immortal Zhen Yuan yawned: "Is that Cursor of yours any use? We've flown for so long and haven't even seen a bird."

"We should be close."

Sun Wukong said.

The Cursor in his hand directed the way, its brilliance growing more intense. Sun Wukong had a feeling that he was not far from the Brahma Void Heavenly Court.

"The Chaos is truly immense."

Immortal Zhen Yuan sighed and said: "To travel through this Chaos in the future, we'll definitely need something to carry us."

He glanced at the Heavenly Dog: "This Heavenly Dog is idle anyway, my brother must be tired, why not let it pull us for a stretch?"

"It's too slow."

Sun Wukong refused.

The Heavenly Dog was unsure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

At this moment, the female Taoist sitting on Sun Wukong's other shoulder suddenly spoke up.

"The Brahma Void Heavenly Court nurtures a breed of Golden Blood Heavenly Horses that can travel a million miles a day, and the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court often use them to traverse the Chaos."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Zhen Yuan's interest was piqued and he started to question the female Taoist.

Thus, Sun Wukong flew for another two days and finally saw the Blood Sea storm that Nan Ming Heavenly Venerate spoke of.

It was an endless expanse of blood-red fog that seemed like a vast ocean covering the Chaos, ancient and weathered, carrying a breath of world-shattering destruction.

The Blood Sea was murky, with occasional flashes of Divine Power shimmering like golden lightning across the sea.

"This place is no simple matter."

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked at the Blood Sea.

Outside the Blood Sea, large stones were continuously sucked in, tossed and shattered like duckweed in the ocean.

Immortal Zhen Yuan took out an Immortal Stone from his cloak.

"What's this?"

Sun Wukong asked, looking over: "Where did you get it?"

"Found it in the Immortal City."

Immortal Zhen Yuan said: "This stone is exceedingly hard, ordinary Immortal Artifacts can't harm it, it's perfect for clearing the path."

He cast a spell and a gust of Immortal Wind wrapped around the Immortal Stone and shot into the storm, immediately sparking off streaks of electricity.

To Immortal Zhen Yuan's astonishment, the Immortal Stone sparked a trail of fiery sparks within the Blood Sea and clanged loudly, soon shattering into pieces.

"This Blood Sea is too dangerous."

Immortal Zhen Yuan said: "My Immortal Body has not yet healed, I might not be able to withstand it."

"The Blood Sea is transformed from the life-long Essence Blood of the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor, not to mention you, even our master couldn't withstand it."

The female Taoist said.

The male Taoist nodded: "Only Sun Heavenly Emperor can enter."

Immortal Zhen Yuan was amazed; such an immense sea of blood, had actually been formed by a single person's essence blood.

If that Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor were still alive, how powerful would he be now!

"My dear brother."

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked towards Sun Wukong.

"I have a way."

Sun Wukong said: "You all hide in my hand."

He displayed his divine aspect and opened his hand.

The Heavenly Dog was the first to run in, followed by the two Taoists; Immortal Zhen Yuan glanced at the Blood Sea storm, and finally went in.

Sun Wukong carefully clenched his fist. In the instant when the terrifying Divine Power fluctuations turned into lightning that streaked by, he charged into the Blood Sea.

In the Blood Sea, Divine Power Lightning roared, infinite Curses burned; within the dense fog were dreadful Sword Light and Blood Shadow, capable of cutting down any intruder.

Sun Wukong radiated Divine Rings, surrounded by Divine Radiance, like a beam of light piercing through the Blood Sea.

His brilliance overflowed, any Curses or Karmic energies that touched upon the Divine Rings vanished like steam.

This flight took one more day.

"Such immense power the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor possessed."

Sun Wukong inwardly admired.

The spiritual energy in this Blood Sea is boundless, and considering its scale, Sun Wukong is astounded.

On his way here, he had confirmed with two Taoists that this Blood Sea enveloped the entire Brahma Void Heavenly Court, containing three hundred worlds.

To protect such a vast world single-handedly, the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor's depth is immeasurable.

Sun Wukong continues to move forward.

The curse of the Blood Sea's karma does not harm him, but occasionally Divine Power Lightning strikes him, sparking cascades of sparks.

There are very few things that can harm Sun Wukong.

These Divine Power Lightning strikes contained vast amounts of Heavenly Emperor Spirit Qi, hitting Sun Wukong and tempering his Immortal Body.

Unfortunately, he is too strong, and the tempering effect is not significant.

On the contrary, the egg in his arms, after receiving numerous lightning baptisms, shines like a small sun, radiating Divine Radiance and emerging with a vigorous lifeforce.

"What exactly is inside this egg?"

Sun Wukong grows curious.

The vigorous lifeforce emanating from this egg surpasses any life he knows.

Moreover, the appearance of the egg also changes, with its shell revealing dazzling patterns, complex and inscrutable.

"I wonder if I can take this opportunity to incubate it."

Sun Wukong slows down, hoping to let the egg absorb more lightning.

However, this picky guy absorbed for a day, then dimmed again, refusing to absorb any further.

Helpless, Sun Wukong can only follow the light of the cursor, flying for another day, and emerges from the Blood Sea.

Deep within the Blood Sea is another Chaos, boundless and vast, just like the outside.

Sun Wukong opens his hand, and four charred objects fly out.

"Elder brother, you've gone too far."

Immortal Zhenyuan, with his hair standing upright, is the first to get angry: "Why didn't you block the lightning?"

"I did my best."

Sun Wukong responds with a smile.

The Divine Power Lightning strikes his body and reaches his palms; he can only stop part of the force.

The others have not received much harm, only looking a bit charred with hair standing on end—Sun Wukong lets them rest briefly, and with a spell, all are restored.

After recovery, Immortal Zhenyuan looks back towards the Blood Sea.

"Elder brother, since this Blood Sea is transformed from Essence Blood, can it turn back into the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor?"

He asks.

"I'm afraid not."

Sun Wukong shakes his head with some regret.

He didn't feel the will of that Heavenly Emperor in the Blood Sea.

If he was still alive, Sun Wukong should be able to sense it.

"The Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor's Divine Soul has perished; revival is impossible."

The two Taoists also say: "This holds true for the celestials of the Heavenly Court as well."

They tell Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan that the power of a Venerable is unimaginable; he controls the supreme Immortal Laws, able to directly obliterate Divine Souls, sparing no living being.

"But the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor had Tao Skill, with which he could absorb the power of the Blood Sea."

The female Taoist says.

Immortal Zhenyuan is surprised: "This Blood Sea's power can be absorbed?"

"Of course."

The female Taoist nods: "The Heavenly Emperor uses Essence Blood as Tao, able to pass down his power to descendants."

Immortal Zhenyuan is astonished.

The Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor is so powerful that even in death he not only protects the worlds but also cultivates successors.

"Elder brother."

Immortal Zhenyuan looks at Sun Wukong: "You must find that Tao Skill."

"We'll see."

Sun Wukong doesn't care much.

He is used to relying on his own cultivation for power and feels little about the Blood Sea.

"Let's go."

Sun Wukong leads everyone, embarking on a new journey.

Ahead is a world that has already been destroyed.
