The beast horde swept through Chaos, their vital energies reaching the skies, unstoppable.
The White Robed Venerate stood at the center of Chaos, emitting dazzling divine light, with beast shadows rising from behind him, pouncing towards Sun Wukong.
This battle had already lasted for several days.
The vast beast horde released undying flames, establishing a force field within Chaos, dense with golden fire. Sun Wukong was surrounded by them, enduring endless bombardments.
"Boom"
In the clash with the beast horde, Sun Wukong's right arm was torn by a Demon Beast, blood spraying out, revealing white bone.
His figure staggered.
The vital blood of the beast horde was overwhelming, their claws and teeth striking at him, spells flashing gloriously, the sky thundering.
Collision was the eternal theme, as the flames of battle were endless.
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and continued to charge upward.
"Why won't you admit defeat?"
The White Robed Venerate watched and thought: Did Sun Wukong really not fear death?
"Go!"
He unleashed the Tao, strengthening the power upon the Demon Beasts.
The beast horde roared, brilliant as Divine Radiance, like golden lightning striking towards Sun Wukong, shredding the void.
The great battle had reached such an extent that all manner of strange phenomena appeared, the skies darkening, ghosts wailing, phantoms of Hongmeng creatures roamed everywhere, ethereal and weeping.
Sun Wukong, amid the beast horde, was repeatedly struck.
"Ah!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
A massive wave immediately followed, two Demon Beasts attacking him from front and back.
Sun Wukong raged, Jingu Bang bearing the energy of supreme Yang striking forward, smashing the two Demon Beasts into fireballs that turned to ash.
This was a war of the Tao, and he would not concede!
Sun Wukong, with the last of his divine might, charged fiercely upwards, battling the beast horde into a frenzy.
The beast horde was torn apart, but he also suffered grave injuries.
After successfully breaking through, half of Sun Wukong's body was a blurred mess of flesh and blood, his skin charred and appalling to witness.
"Give up, it's impossible for you to stop the Venerable."
The White Robed Venerate, radiant in the flesh, spoke, "You struggle so desperately in my hands, how can you defeat him?"
That Venerable was thousands of times stronger than him.
"So what?"
Sun Wukong's last strength ignited: "These are all excuses."
The White Robed Venerate frowned slightly; this battle had gone on for too long.
He was becoming impatient, his right palm swirling with Buddha Light, soaring into the sky, with endless divine light pressing down.
With a "boom," the utterly exhausted Sun Wukong couldn't dodge this palm.
This majestic palm strike inflicted even more severe wounds, with blood splattering everywhere, Jingu Bang wailing in sorrow, his body swaying unsteadily, as if about to fall.
The White Robed Venerate pressed down with another palm.
Another streak of Divine Radiance burst forth in the void, a vast sea of fire behind it, hammering on Sun Wukong, causing lightning and thunder, immensely ferocious.
Sun Wukong couldn't evade it and turned into a meteor, falling to the ground.
The vast earth caught him, and as soon as the flames touched him, grass and trees instantly perished, the ground scorched, forests turned to burnt land.
The Immortal Light on Sun Wukong's body went out.
"It has finally gone out."
The White Robed Venerate thought.
"You think you're invincible, yet there are heavens beyond this heaven, and only through paying a price can you come to your senses."
The White Robed Venerate stopped attacking, descending to the ground, asking, "Do you still refuse to admit defeat now?"
Sun Wukong plummeted to the earth, yet stood unyielding, leaning on Jingu Bang, gasping for air.
"I want to know, why does the Venerable want to destroy the common folk?"
He suddenly asked.
"I don't know."
The White Robed Venerate shook his head.
"You don't know?"
Sun Wukong looked at him.
"Since I left the Venerable, he has stripped me of my memories."
The White Robed Venerate answered, "That is a reason no one can know, but I hold it in awe."
"Awe."
Sun Wukong could not help but burst into laughter.
"You feel awe for something you know nothing about?"
He laughed uproariously, even at his weakest moment, he still laughed.
This laughter shook heaven and earth, resonating long before it dissipated.
"You cannot comprehend reverence."
The White Robed Venerate said coldly.
"No... I understand."
Sun Wukong replied: "It is with reverence that Wanling wishes to move forward, to overcome it."
In his view, reverence is the zest for vigorous struggle, not a reason to stop!
Sun Wukong picked up Jingu Bang, and once again, his intent to battle ignited in his heart.
Streams of crystal clear radiance began to emerge in his body, flowing like water, cooling him completely and rejuvenating his flesh.
"It's because I understand reverence that I can move forward, become stronger!"
Sun Wukong raised his staff toward the White Robed Venerate, a mighty life force bloomed within him.
The White Robed Venerate's expression changed.
"No, something's not right!"
He suddenly felt a chilling sensation and without hesitation, golden lightning streaked from his hands, the thunder piercing through the Nine Heavens, descending from above to strike Sun Wukong.
"Rumble rumble," Heavenly Might surged, lightning filled the vast expanse, mountains shattered under the lightning storm, extending to the very ends of the earth.
However, after the lightning storm, Sun Wukong was riddled with wounds, but he still stood tall, refusing to fall.
"You are powerless to resist, why won't you concede!"
The White Robed Venerate shouted, and a myriad of beasts roared angrily, surging towards Sun Wukong.
"Break time is over."
Sun Wukong looked up at those Demon Beasts, Jingu Bang swept out fiercely, clashing with their bodies, causing a massive explosion as the beasts burst apart.
This blow, though not earth-shattering like before, struck the creatures, causing them to explode like tofu.
The White Robed Venerate's eyes widened.
How could this be!
The flames in Sun Wukong's eyes blazed furiously, like an eternal inferno, fearless of the Demon Beasts, his Golden Hoop staff smashed a candle dragon, causing it to dissipate into nothingness.
"I can still fight!"
He raised his hand, Jingu Bang roared and trembled, as if taking pride in its master.
Fiery red flames appeared on Sun Wukong, growing more intense by the moment.
"What power is this?"
The White Robed Venerate asked.
"The power of the War God."
Sun Wukong answered.
"Impossible!"
The White Robed Venerate declared: "I too possess the power of the War God!"
"What you have is not the true power of the War God."
Sun Wukong stated: "I was chosen as War God not for the strength of my power."
He knew clearly that the White Robed Venerate could never wield the power of War God.
Because he is not the true War God.
"Not even daring to resist."
Sun Wukong leapt into the air: "What kind of War God are you!"
His form blazed with intense red light, his entire body burning, a terrifying combative spirit soaring, as if to incinerate heaven and earth!
A vast aura rippled outwards, sending shivers down the White Robed Venerate's spine.
His face underwent a drastic change.
"You've ascended again?"
He gazed in disbelief at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong shed a layer of scorched fur, revealing hair that shone like gold.
His gaping wounds healed, and his aura grew ever more powerful.
This was a visible transformation, no longer the power of the Brahma War God, but a higher level of power that the White Robed Venerate couldn't take for himself.
"Sun Wukong!"
No longer holding back, the White Robed Venerate smote down with his Giant Palm, shattering the void.
"Too late!"
Sun Wukong bellowed, shattering the space around him.
He traversed ten thousand miles in an instant, crossing space to appear before the White Robed Venerate, blocking his outstretched Giant Palm, wielding his staff for a mighty blow.
"Eat another of my staff strikes!"
Sun Wukong blazed with his own essence, wielding a terrifying strike with his staff.
In this moment, he was unrivaled in the world!
