The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 74: War God Temple


The palace was at the end of the road, dazzling and incredibly magnificent.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and walked towards it.

"Junior brother, wait for me."

Immortal Zhenyuan hurriedly followed.

"Are you also going?"

Sun Wukong turned around and asked.

"How can I miss such a fun treasure hunt."

Immortal Zhenyuan replied with a smile.

"That's good."

Sun Wukong led Immortal Zhenyuan towards the palace.

Some people in the city, seeing this, also wanted to follow to join the fun but were stopped by Nan Ming's duo.

"That palace is not a place you can approach."

They said.

The crowd curiously looked ahead and were surprised.

In front of Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan, a fierce storm had suddenly risen on the path, the ground trembling, and the bluestone slabs were lifted, flying towards the two men.

The palace was preventing them.

Immortal Zhenyuan had to emit Protective Divine Light in order to keep moving forward.

"This palace is indeed domineering."

While walking, Immortal Zhenyuan said: "It doesn't want us to pass."

"This is the palace of an Immortal."

Sun Wukong's eyes sparkled, seeing through the truth: "We haven't been invited by the Hall Master, the palace is repelling us."

"Hall Master?"

Immortal Zhenyuan laughed: "Brahma Void Heavenly Court has been destroyed; how could there be any Hall Master?"

The two talked as they passed through the violent storm.

"Who dares to intrude Xingtian Palace!"

Suddenly, an angry shout came from ahead.

Looking forward, they saw a general in Immortal Armor standing a hundred meters away, and behind him, endless ranks of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals firmly guarded the gates.

Immortal Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment.

Could this palace not only summon wind and rain but also conjure living beings?

"Hmph, it turns out to be mere illusions."

Immortal Zhenyuan quickly realized, sneering.

Although the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals looked formidable, one could deduce using their rear that they were fake.

All the Immortals from Brahma Void Heavenly Court had perished; where would these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals come from!

Immortal Zhenyuan continued to advance.

"Leave this place!"

The general shouted again, then quickly drew an arrow and shot a dazzling beam of light, flying swiftly towards Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan kept a straight face until the arrow was about to reach his forehead, then suddenly his expression changed.

"This isn't right!"

Immortal Zhenyuan reacted quickly, sweeping his sleeve to deflect the arrow, and a slash appeared on his sleeve edge.

It was a real arrow!

"Could these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals be real?"

In the city, Heavenly Dog, seeing this, was also shocked: "Otherwise, how could they launch such an attack?"

"Even fake ones can attack."

Nan Ming's duo responded: "The War God Temple appears to have such miraculous power."

They glanced at each other.

"Our master mentioned the War God Temple in Heavenly Court; why would it appear here?"

Fan Nan asked.

Fan Ming pondered: "The War God was stripped of his Immortal Position here; it might have been summoned by the Immortal Position."

"What Immortal Position."

Heavenly Dog was confused: "Isn't War God Xingtian? Who stripped him of his Immortal Position?"

"Of course, it was the Venerable."

Nan Ming's duo answered.

They had learned about Xingtian's story from Sun Wukong.

Xingtian, as the War God, fought fiercely against the Venerable's incarnation during the great calamity, battling across several Star Domains, yet his incarnation could never kill him.

Xingtian was a born warrior, born from battle. During the great calamity, he could borrow the power of all living beings, with no reason to lose to the Venerable's incarnation.

"If that's the case, how could the War God be defeated?"

Heavenly Dog asked.

"It's because the Venerable severed Xingtian's head, stripping him of his Immortal Position."

Fan Ming answered.

At that time, the Venerable and Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor fought, and the Jade Seal was damaged, thereby affecting the stability of the Immortals' positions.

Xingtian was no exception; he suddenly weakened in battle,

The Venerable's incarnation didn't miss the chance and took the opportunity to strip Xingtian of his Immortal Position, chopping off his head.

"So that was it."

Heavenly Dog thought to himself, although the Venerable was powerful, the act of taking advantage during someone's disadvantage certainly lacks the righteousness of Sun Wukong.

"What else is formidable about that palace?"

Heavenly Dog asked again.

"So much."

Nan Ming looked at Sun Wukong, feeling somewhat worried.

Their teacher was but a single flame on Nan Ming Heavenly Venerate.

On Nan Ming Heavenly Venerate exists more than a million flames; it is merely a drop in the ocean.

The power of the War God Xingtian is even stronger than that of their teacher, it's hard to believe that his palace could pose any danger, or how formidable it could be.

On the cobblestone path, Immortal Zhenyuan stopped moving forward.

The resistance from the palace was immense; with his current power, he would certainly get injured.

"Brother is truly formidable."

Immortal Zhenyuan secretly admired Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong walked straight ahead.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shouted, with swords and shadows slashing towards him, but Sun Wukong didn't even lift his head, just walked straight ahead.

He even retracted his Immortal Light, not using any spells, all the sword and light shadows that hit around him turned into ash.

"What spell is this?"

Immortal Zhenyuan pondered, why he would get injured, whereas Sun Wukong, not using Protective Immortal Light, nor spells, remained unharmed.

"Why is this so."

Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, didn't you see those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals?"

Immortal Zhenyuan asked loudly.

Sun Wukong didn't turn back: "Of course I saw them."

Immortal Zhenyuan was shocked: "Since you saw them, why didn't you dodge?"

"Why dodge?"

Sun Wukong replied: "Just some trifles, no matter how many, what use are they?"

Immortal Zhenyuan was stunned, then realized, to Sun Wukong, whether these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were illusions or reality, it made no difference.

He fears no obstacles, which is why he keeps moving forward, and that palace, sensing such confidence, couldn't harm him in any way.

In the face of the strongest force and confidence, all becomes meaningless.

Immortal Zhenyuan sighed, his Immortal Law was not yet restored, couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong stepped forward relentlessly, no matter how the palace tried to stop him, it made no impact on him.

He broke through the Barrier, step by step approaching the palace.

The Heavenly Book's Heavenly Soldiers and Generals couldn't stand him, quickly vanishing completely.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to step into the palace, suddenly his body hair stood on end, involuntarily he looked up.

A light was rapidly flying from beyond the sky.

Immortal Zhenyuan also looked up.

"What a strong presence."

The aura was immensely terrifying, not yet arrived, and it already caused goosebumps all over Immortal Zhenyuan.

"I don't know who it is!"

Immortal Zhenyuan looked up, his heart heavy.

While Sun Wukong watched the figure descending from the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He didn't know who it was, but he was very clear, it definitely wasn't someone from this world.

This world simply doesn't possess such a formidable force.

This was very clear to Sun Wukong the moment he arrived in this world.
