"This guy truly is as cunning as they come."

Buddha Beads couldn't help but think: "Just for one small mistake, to think that he could discover it, Sun Wukong really is my arch-nemesis."

"That's not a small mistake."

Sun Wukong interrupted Buddha Beads' train of thought.

Buddha Beads was taken aback.

"How do you know what I'm thinking in my heart?"

He took a step back; this fellow was simply too terrifying, even guessing what he was thinking internally.

Sun Wukong sighed: "You spoke your thoughts out loud."

Buddha Beads was stunned, then his face darkened slightly.

"The Venerable had many good qualities, but talking too much was one of them."

They inherited traits from the Venerable, sometimes they would blabber unconsciously.

"Well."

Buddha Beads said: "Since you've found me, let us settle the final score right here."

A white light shone in his hand, transforming into a Tin Staff.

However, Sun Wukong was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Buddha Beads.

It was a rare opportunity; there were too many questions in his heart in need of answers.

"Was it you who manipulated behind the scenes to turn this world into what it is today?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"You think I would tell you?"

Buddha Beads sneered and then narrated the events one by one.

It turned out that in the past, Buddha Beads oversaw two worlds. There was another Demon Beast World near this world, way more powerful than this one.

Buddha Beads followed the instructions of the Venerable, destroyed the Demon Beast World, but his body suffered severe injuries, unable to continue the destruction here.

He thought of a way, leading a bunch of demon beasts to escape here.

"This Barbaric Land, it's not necessary to use too much force, those demon beast remnants can destroy it."

Buddha Beads stated: "Under my guidance, they devoured the sun in the fastest manner."

After he destroyed Immortal City, he thought everything would be fine, but then that race unexpectedly hatched two more suns.

Buddha Beads planned to destroy the other two suns one by one, to let the remaining creatures perish, but he didn't expect Sun Wukong to come.

Sun Wukong began to understand.

"You call this place the Barbaric Land."

He asked: "Where does the technology of Immortal City come from?"

"Amidst the boundless Chaos, vast and endless, there resides the Brahma Void Heavenly Court deep within this realm, governing three hundred worlds."

Buddha Beads startlingly divulged: "It's not surprising that this world occasionally obtains some technology from Heavenly Court."

"Heavenly Court?"

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed a gleam of brilliance.

There was actually a Heavenly Court within the Chaos! Why had he never heard of it before.

"Where is this Heavenly Court located?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"You want to find the Brahma Void Heavenly Court?"

Buddha Beads laughed: "Do you really think I'd inform you of such a critical matter?"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly.

"I informed you about Heavenly Court because that court no longer exists."

Buddha Beads explained: "That Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor, just like you, emerged from Chaos with the power of one individual, subdued many a Buddha Bead within this realm, established an unparalleled domination. It cannot be denied he was strong."

"He was truly deserving to be called the strongest Immortal of this realm, pity he shone too brightly and caught the Venerable's attention."

Buddha Beads began to sneer: "Ten thousand years ago, the Venerable suddenly arrived, the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor could not withstand three strikes before falling, blood scattered in the void. His blood energies lingered in the void, with the Blood Sea Storm defending the Brahma Void Heavenly Court, making it impassable for anyone."

Sun Wukong's mood grew heavy: "What about the other Immortals of the Heavenly Court?"

"The Brahma Void Heavenly Court had a million Immortals, all were suppressed by the Venerable, none escaped."

Buddha Beads answered: "Three hundred worlds, mostly, have already been destroyed."

"He's gone too far."

Sun Wukong's face darkened.

"Are you angry?"

Buddha Beads looked at Sun Wukong, and said: "Obsessions are your biggest weakness."

"All beings are but mere ants, if you understand this, release your obsessions, then you can see the truth of this world."

Buddha Beads stated: "By then, you could be like us."

"The same?"

Sun Wukong laughed: "If that were so, I wouldn't be Sun Wukong anymore."

"No matter how much we speak now, it's meaningless."

Buddha Beads picked up the Tin Staff, saying: "Your obsessions remain, any more talk would just be casting pearls before swine."

Sun Wukong's expression grew solemn.

"No matter what the truth is, I am who I am, and that won't change."

He took out Jingu Bang: "If you won't tell me, I will find it by myself."

Buddha Beads shook his head and sighed, knowing that there would be no intersection between Sun Wukong's thoughts and his own.

The only outcome between them was a battle.

Buddha Beads took up the Tin Staff, countless Runes unfolded in midair, turning into myriad fiery shadows, assaulting Sun Wukong like a storm of pear blossoms.

Sun Wukong clenched Jingu Bang, turning into a beam of light and charged forth.

In an instant, golden radiance illuminated the forested mountains.

Two beams of light collided fiercely and swiftly, their luminosity soaring towards the sky.

At the same moment, in the western part of this world.

A male and a female Taoist stood floating in the clouds, watching the luminous battle.

"Do you think Sun Wukong can win?"

The male Taoist asked.

"Of course he can."

The female Taoist, without hesitation, said: "If Sun Wukong cannot overcome even this peril, how can we entrust our hopes in him?"

"That's true."

The male Taoist nodded: "Originally I thought of waiting a few more years to see, I don't know why the master invited him so quickly."

"The master's injuries are too severe, there's no time to wait."

The female Taoist stated: "For now, we can only turn to Sun Wukong, putting a dead horse to work as if it was alive."

The two looked once more towards the temple, where the battle intensified.
