Chapter 418 -418: Meeting the Bald Donkey Alone (First Update!)
“Sun Wukong! It’s actually Sun Wukong! Didn’t this monkey fall into the Endless Abyss and perish? How is he still not dead?”
The Jade Emperor stared intently at the defiant figure of Sun Wukong standing against the sky, almost grinding his silver teeth to bits.
It was he who had personally led the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court to strike Sun Wukong down into the Endless Abyss. The Endless Abyss was known for its one-way passage; none who fell had ever returned alive, whether they were immortals or demons.
Yet now, Sun Wukong had miraculously reappeared before them, a sight that was truly shocking!
Moreover, Sun Wukong’s cultivation had astonishingly reached the Quasi-Saint Realm!
What on earth had happened at the bottom of that Endless Abyss, and how had his cultivation made such a tremendous breakthrough?
...
“It’s big brother! Big brother has come back!”
“Brother Monkey, your timing couldn’t be more perfect!”
“Wukong, if you had come even a bit later, our lives would have been lost!”
By the deep pit on the ground, Leng Xuan and the others, looking at Sun Wukong standing before them, were overwhelmed with surprise. Just moments before, they were about to be crushed to death by the Tathagata Palm of the Ancestral Buddha, but Sun Wukong arrived just in time, blocking the Tathagata Palm. The terrifying power unleashed from the impact almost destroyed everything within a hundred miles, creating a bottomless pit on the ground; yet, Sun Wukong managed to shield them from the slightest impact of the residual force using his Cloning Divine Powers to create a clone that safely rescued them.
“Thank goodness the timing was right!”
The clone of Sun Wukong smiled and sighed with relief, “I, Old Sun, had sensed the strong fluctuations of power here and also sensed the breath of that baldy, Tathagata. It must have been tough for you to hold on for so long under him!”
Sun Wukong knew the strength of the Ancestral Buddha well. Although he became a saint only after the Divine Enthronement Battle, his strength was not much less than that of the Three Purities. In addition, the Buddhist Sect had developed rapidly in recent years, its destiny flourishing and its followers increasing rapidly, with the massive power of faith almost entirely absorbed by the Ancestral Buddha. It was unclear to Sun Wukong the current realm of the Ancestral Buddha, as his own cultivation was only at the Quasi-Saint Realm and he had not yet attained saint status, thus he couldn’t accurately discern the current realm of the Ancestral Buddha.
The strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint was tremendously terrifying to anyone who hadn’t attained saint status. The saying, ‘Below the saints, all are mere ants,’ was not just for saying. Even though Leng Xuan and the others were at least at half-step Quasi-Saint cultivation and had begun to understand the embryonic form of the Domain Power, they were still no match for the Ancestral Buddha.
To be able to hold on for so long was indeed commendable!
“Big brother, why so formal? Flower-Fruit Mountain is your home, but it is also our home. We too have the duty to defend our homeland from invasion!”
“Exactly, when the Heavenly Court attacked, and you were not around, it was our duty to protect Flower-Fruit Mountain!”
“Brother Monkey, that bald Tathagata is indeed very strong; together, we were no match for him! But now that you’re here, with our combined efforts, we might just have a chance!”
Everyone was very excited about Sun Wukong’s return. Luo Bai looked up at the sky where the enormous figure of Tathagata Buddha had reappeared, clenched his fist fiercely, and said with hatred, his eyes full of combativeness and indignation. However, the motion aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough violently.
“That’s enough, you’re all seriously injured. Hurry up and drink the Victorious Battle Wine to recuperate and heal your injuries, so you don’t develop lasting issues!”
One of Sun Wukong’s clones shook his head and said, “There’s still some Victorious Battle Wine on your side, right? Hurry up and drink it to rest properly. I will take care of that bald donkey Tathagata myself!”
“Brother Monkey, you… you aren’t thinking of fighting Tathagata alone, are you?”
Luo Bai widened his eyes, and Luo Xuan and the others showed expressions of astonishment. Tathagata Buddha was a genuine Heavenly Dao Saint. Even when many of them joined forces and formed the Seven Extremes Battle Formation, they could not withstand Tathagata Buddha’s Tathagata Palm and were all severely injured. Although Sun Wukong’s cultivation had also reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, how could he possibly stand a chance against Tathagata Buddha alone?
“Exactly!”

Sun Wukong’s clone nodded, looking up at Tathagata Buddha in the sky and his own original form standing opposite him, a cold gleam flashing across his eyes, “I do want to meet that bald donkey alone to see just how strong he really is!”
“Boss, Tathagata is a Heavenly Dao Saint, terrifyingly powerful. You alone are no match for him. Don’t take the risk!”
The Demon King Peng spoke up, having experienced the terror of Tathagata Buddha firsthand, knowing too well how formidable he was. Sun Wukong’s current cultivation was only at the Quasi-Saint level, comparable to Yang Jian the Erlang God, Nezha the Third Prince, and Luo Bai. Even if Sun Wukong’s combat power was greater than the three of them, it still wasn’t enough to face a Heavenly Dao Saint alone, was it?
“Don’t worry, I’m fully aware of what I’m doing and I won’t be reckless!”
Sun Wukong’s clone laughed, and with a flash of golden light in his eyes, he swept a gaze over Luo Bai and the others, speaking in a deep tone, “Your injuries are not light. Even if you wanted to help, you wouldn’t be much use. It would be better for you to retreat and heal your injuries quickly!”
As he spoke, Sun Wukong’s clone pointed towards the Jade Emperor and other Immortals and Gods in the sky a few hundred miles away, giving a cold smile, “The Jade Emperor and those Immortals and Gods are still watching us greedily. If you don’t recover fast, how will you withstand them? I don’t have the extra strength to deal with them either!”
“But…”
Nezha wanted to say something else but was stopped by Yang Jian the Erlang God putting a hand on his shoulder, “Nezha, since Wukong says so, he must be confident in his abilities. Let’s trust him! In our current state, we are indeed of no help. We might even become a burden to Wukong, so it’s better to heal and recover quickly!”
“…Alright then!”
Nezha sighed, nodded in agreement, and Luo Bai and the others also sighed and consented, each taking a few sips of the Victorious Battle Wine. Supporting each other, they flew toward the entrance of Flower-Fruit Mountain. With their severe injuries, they had no strength to withstand the residual force from Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha’s clash. It was safer to return to the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain, guarded by the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, where they could heal in peace without fearing a sneak attack from the Jade Emperor and others.
Shush!
Watching as Luo Bai and the others followed his advice and flew toward Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong’s clone glanced in the direction where the Jade Emperor and other Heavenly Court immortals were, gave a cold laugh and then dispersed. Although the cloning divine powers were powerful, they consumed a lot of Chaos Primordial Force. He needed to preserve every bit of strength, for there was still a fierce battle to be fought with Tathagata Buddha!
