Chapter 433 -433: The Buddha’s Severed Arm (Second Update!)
A golden arm, smeared with blood, soared high into the air and dropped into the midst of the Great Formation. Tathagata Buddha let out a muffled grunt, clutched the stump of his left arm, and turned into a bolt of lightning as he rushed out of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation’s Life Gate. With a sweep of his sleeve, he tore a crack in the space and dove into it, leaving only a low roar filled with endless hatred echoing between heaven and earth.
“Demon Monkey, for today’s severed arm, this seat will surely make you repay it a thousandfold one day!”
Swish!
Sun Wukong reached out and a golden arm flew to the Formation Eye of the array. Separated from Tathagata Buddha’s colossal golden body, the arm had shrunk back to normal size. The cut was exceedingly smooth, and even the splattered golden blood was drawn over and re-entered the wound. A divine glow sealed the stump, preventing any further bleeding of golden blood.
“Truly worthy of the Heavenly Dao Saint! Even with limbs detached, to still possess such regenerative capability!”
Sun Wukong’s heart chilled. If not for the threat of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Tathagata Buddha would not have abandoned his arm to escape. The recovery ability of the Heavenly Dao Saint’s physical body was extremely astonishing; a single arm was no grave injury to Tathagata Buddha and would likely regrow shortly. With some time to heal, he would recover.
...
Nevertheless, this might well be the biggest setback he’s suffered since becoming the head of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect, huh? Heh!
“Tathagata old thief, your arm will be taken by me, Old Sun, this very day. It is, indeed, top-notch material for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, huh!”
Sun Wukong smirked coldly and flipped his hand to store Tathagata Buddha’s severed arm in a counterfeit Qiankun Bag.
A single drop of blood from a Heavenly Dao Saint can topple mountains and fracture the earth. With an arm like this, containing such concentrated essence, who knows how many spirit pills it could be refined into! Right, I should discuss this with The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. I believe he would be very interested!
“Hmm~!”
Suddenly, a vast destructive power surged from the center of the Formation Eye and charged straight into Sun Wukong’s body. The cold smile on his face instantly solidified, and he couldn’t help but let out a stifled grunt, nearly crashing to the ground.
It was the backlash of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation’s power!
Although Sun Wukong had already refined the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Sword of Annihilation, and Sword of Trapping Immortals, he had not yet consecrated the Sword of Slaying Immortal and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram. This was his first time activating the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and it was against a peerless powerhouse like Tathagata Buddha, with whom he had fought with all his might. Now that Tathagata Buddha had fled in defeat, leaving behind an arm, Sun Wukong could no longer suppress the backlash of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Vicious Sword Qi rampaged within him. If not for the Chaotic Divine Body and the Chaos Fire within him possessing the characteristic to assimilate all things, he might have been instantly shredded to pieces upon the appearance of the backlash!
“Retreat, quickly retreat!”
Witnessing Tathagata Buddha’s narrow escape from the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and tearing a space crack to flee, the Jade Emperor’s face turned deathly pale. He turned and fled first, leading the way. Even Tathagata Buddha had lost an arm in the formation; if it were any of them caught within it, they would have no life left!
“What a pity…”
Watching the Jade Emperor and a host of deities from the Heavenly Court fading into the distance, a streak of golden blood trailed down the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth, followed by a sigh. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation suddenly dispersed. The Immortal-Slaying Sword, Sword of Trapping Immortals, and Sword of Slaying Immortal appeared out of the void and turned into streaks of light entering Sun Wukong’s body. The Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram and Sword of Slaying Immortal hesitated briefly, but eventually were drawn by the other three swords and also turned into streaks of light, entering Sun Wukong’s Dantian.
“Brother Monkey, why didn’t you keep those guys from the Jade Emperor?”
“Big brother, are you alright?”
Luo Bai, Leng Xuan, and others flew to Sun Wukong’s side. They saw Wukong floating motionless above the clouds, watching the distance, which made them ask in surprise. Luo Bai reached out to pat Wukong’s shoulder, only for Wukong to plummet straight down towards the clouds. Frightened, Luo Bai quickly extended his hand to catch Wukong’s body, only to find that he had already passed out with his eyes open!
Everyone instantly panicked and began to check him in a fluster.

“Brother Monkey has been backlashed by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation; there is a huge amount of Sword Qi rampaging inside him!”
Luo Bai said with a grave face, “Fortunately, Brother Monkey’s internal strength seems to have considerable resistance against this Sword Qi. It’s slowly assimilating the Sword Qi and repairing the injuries inside Brother Monkey. There’s nothing we can do to help; we can only wait for Brother Monkey to recover on his own!”
“Such a pity. If Big Brother hadn’t been backlashed, he could have kept all those Immortals and Gods from the Heavenly Court!”
The Six-Eared Macaque glared resentfully towards the horizon. The Jade Emperor and the host of the Heavenly Court had already fled without a trace. They themselves were also injured after their fight against Tathagata Buddha; otherwise, they would not have just watched the Jade Emperor and the others escape without trying to stop them.
“The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is the number one killing formation of Ancient Primeval times. Even though Brother Monkey collected the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying and had the Formation Map to lay out the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, it’s not easy to control. Moreover, to sever a single arm of Tathagata, that baldy, is even harder. It’s already a miracle that Brother Monkey lasted until now before getting backlashed!”
Luo Bai glared at the Six-Eared Macaque and frowned, “I’m just worried that the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect won’t let this go easily. If we could have kept more of them this time, it would have been better. I mean nothing else by that.”
“Alright, alright, being able to repel Tathagata Buddha is already a great fortune. As for the retaliation from the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect, let’s talk about it later! Big Brother and sister-in-law are both seriously injured. We should head back to Flower-Fruit Mountain to heal first and take care of the injured brothers,” said Leng Xuan.
Leng Xuan made a gesture, and everyone nodded in agreement. The group, taking Sun Wukong and Zi Lan Fairy with them, mounted the clouds and headed towards Flower-Fruit Mountain.
In the Heavenly Court, within the Lingxia Palace.
“Worthless, all of you are worthless!”
One after another, the jade goblets were thrown to the ground by the Jade Emperor and shattered. The roars of the Jade Emperor could be heard across a hundred miles around the Lingxia Palace. The divine assembly above the great hall was silent as the grave; not even daring to breathe heavily. They had set out with an army of a million from the Heavenly Army and numerous Immortals and Gods to siege Flower-Fruit Mountain, only to be defeated and returned with heavy losses, not even stepping foot through the mountain gate. How could the Jade Emperor not be furious?
Especially since the strong Ten Thousand Immortal Great Formation had inexplicably been destroyed, and they still did not know who had sabotaged them from within. The frustration in the Jade Emperor’s heart was imaginable.
“Investigate! Thoroughly investigate for me! Who is secretly colluding with Flower-Fruit Mountain? Dig deep and make it clear for me! Within my Heavenly Court, I will not allow treachery to exist!”
Leaving behind a roar filled with murderous intent, the Jade Emperor flung his sleeves and stormed out of the Lingxia Palace, heading towards the Jade Pond Water Pavilion. He wanted to find out what exactly happened with Zi Lan Fairy!
