The White Robed Venerate spread out his Divine Ring, and his whole being shone incomparably dazzling, just like Sun Wukong who had completed his transformation.
"You have a reason to advance."
He told Sun Wukong, "But I also have a reason I cannot afford to lose."
A blaze of red fire appeared around him, illuminating the void, as if a true Venerable had descended to this world.
The overwhelming Heavenly Might made everyone's heart tremble.
"I feel... I can even perform his moves."
The voice of the White Robed Venerate seemed to absorb the fervent war intent.
Behind him, all things shattered, and a flame lotus rose as big as a mountain, entirely red, crystal shining, emitting a terrifying aura.
The lotus trembled, blooming a petal, at that instant, a Phoenix soared up, with billions of golden lights, submerging the entire battlefield.
"This..."
Everyone was shocked; what kind of Phoenix was this that it swirled around ancient flames and crossed the river of time.
It was a Hongmeng creature, recreated by the White Robed Venerate from the distant past.
"There is something strange about this spell!"
Sun Wukong readied himself for battle.
The lotus continued to tremble, blooming another petal, and a Candle Dragon soared out, its long body coiling around Chaos, divine brilliance falling like rain, light filling the sky.
As each flower bloomed, a beast appeared.
Each Demon Beast appeared one by one, transforming into a blazing sea of light, filling up the battlefield, all roaring, wanting to battle with Sun Wukong.
"There is nothing with a stronger flesh than these!"
The White Robed Venerate thought as he looked up at the sky.
Every one of these Demon Beasts here was a true Hongmeng Demon Beast.
Although their power was far less than that of the Venerables summoned, it was enough.
"Go!"
The White Robed Venerate commanded, and the Demon Beasts charged towards Sun Wukong with blazing light, massively, covering an immeasurable distance.
Sun Wukong lifted his Jingu Bang, transforming into a rainbow of light charging at the herd of beasts.
He collided with that field of light, immediately triggering a horrendous storm, firelight obscured the sun, waves of force swept across ten thousand miles.
"Aaaaah!"
Countless Buddhas lost their Mana, falling from the Chaos.
The entire Chaos trembled, inside the Star Palace, mountains shattered, the ground was full of huge cracks.
"Well done."
Buddha stood on the scorched earth, using his Mana to protect a stable area.
He looked up, a red light shone, clashing with the herd of beasts.
Two Heavenly Emperors battled, but brought disaster to the beings of the Heavenly Court, a deathly stillness spread inside the Star Palace, and the Seven Treasures Pool was also drying up.
"Who knows how long this war will last."
That's what Buddha was thinking.
Boom!
A vast cloud of fire appeared in Chaos, as if the starry sky had shattered, unleashing the most radiant streaks of light, splattering everywhere, falling to the ground, shaking the Star Palace violently again, the ground cracked open.
Even with the vast Mana of Buddha, he couldn't withstand such repeated impacts.
The ground of the Star Palace shattered, cries of ghosts and howls of gods, water from the Seven Treasures Pool quickly drained away.
"Buddha!"
A novice monk knelt before Buddha: "Please save us!"
Buddha looked over, the novice monk's eyes brimming with tears, no longer resembling a blissful Buddha's child, but clearly just a boy.
"Come here."
Buddha called the novice monk forward, touched his head: "Do you wish to convert to Shamane?"
"I'm willing."
The novice monk answered.
Buddha showed a smile, then raised his head: "Everyone come here."
A boundless crowd walked towards him, seeking his protection.
"Buddha, what truly is the True Path?"
Someone knelt and asked.
Buddha unfolded his Dharma form, his eyelids drooping, looking down upon the people.
"The so-called True Path, lies within your heart..."
A sense of mission surged within him.
In this vast world, a true Buddha's child had yet to be born.
Now, it's time to transform them.
Chaos reigned; every inch of space was enveloped in warfare, with Demon Beasts blanketing the sky, suppressing Sun Wukong.
Their blood and qi surged to the heavens, overwhelmingly fierce. In a violent clash, Sun Wukong's body cracked and he coughed up a large amount of blood as he was flung away.
Jingu Bang slipped from his hand, plummeting like a column of fire onto Star Palace.
At this moment, silence fell across the Chaos; everyone watched, was Sun Wukong going to be defeated?
"Great King!"
Daji and others turned pale, flying towards Sun Wukong.
"Stop!"
But Sun Wukong stopped them.
He steadied his body, and with a gesture, Jingu Bang pierced through heaven and earth, flying back into his palm.
"It's futile."
The White Robed Venerate watched Sun Wukong; his Demon Beasts were still intact, but Sun Wukong was covered in blood, evidently not able to hold on much longer.
The light from Jingu Bang was also dimming.
"Give up!"
The White Robed Venerate said excitedly, "Hongmeng Demon Beasts have immortal bodies, capable of reincarnation through fire. You cannot defeat them!"
"Ridiculous!"
Sun Wukong's body blazed with flames.
His fire, though not as vigorous as before, boiled like real blood, fueling his fighting spirit.
"I am here to shatter your delusions!"
Sun Wukong charged forward.
Demon Beasts roared as they dove, clashing with him. Space shattered, thunderous roars trembling all of Wanling.
"Great King."
Daji watched the battlefield, her heart in turmoil.
Flames erupted continuously in the Chaos, blazing brilliantly.
Those were Sun Wukong's flames, his undying will.
"Good, this is very good!"
The White Robed Venerate sneered, "The stronger you become, the stronger I become."
Behind him, the lotus bloomed again, and more Demon Beasts rose, joining the fray.
"Sun Wukong, this is the true power of the Brahma Void Heavenly Emperor."
"This is a power you cannot match!"
The White Robed Venerate looked at Sun Wukong, anticipating his look of despair.
However, the scene before him caused his heart to sink.
The battling Sun Wukong was already exhausted, his physical body and spirit burning, yet the fighting spirit in his eyes did not decrease but grew more intense.
"White Robed, I acknowledge your power."
Sun Wukong's body was cracked all over, but he did not cease fighting: "Pity, even with the War God's power, you will never be the War God!"
He could feel his strength gradually vanishing.
For the first time, Sun Wukong felt that he might not defeat someone.
But even so, he would not concede.
Once he conceded, he would no longer be himself.
The White Robed Venerate sensed an uncontrollable situation forming.
"You're just stubborn!"
The White Robed Venerate's expression darkened, another lotus bloomed behind him, its light engulfing the battlefield.
Countless Demon Beasts emerged, pouncing towards Sun Wukong.
"Bring it on!"
Jingu Bang in Sun Wukong's hand shone brightly.
At this moment, he thought of nothing else.
He had to win!
He could only win!
In Sun Wukong's dictionary, there was never the word "defeat."
"To those standing before me!"
Sun Wukong swung his staff, erupting like mountains and rivers, the fire illuminating the Nine Heavens: "Even if it's myself, I can shatter it!"
He was peerlessly brilliant, and though at a disadvantage, his figure was dazzling and magnificent.
