Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Guanyin Bodhisattva's body shone with golden light, and the pressure of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal was like a mountain collapsing. The Tongtian River churned and roared under her power, and the world changed color.

Jin Chanzi put away his staff, his gaze cold and stern, and stood aside. Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie exchanged a glance. Sha Wujing looked somewhat conflicted, while Zhu Bajie had already summoned his Nine-Toothed Rake.

As for Sun Wukong, he completely ignored Guanyin's imposing aura, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

"Can Wukong defeat him?" Jin Chanzi asked telepathically.

"I, Old Sun, am invincible among those of the same level," Sun Wukong replied with great confidence.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." After transmitting his voice, Jin Chanzi raised his head and said, "Guanyin, why did you stop us from eliminating the demon? And why did you adopt this posture after we eliminated the demon? Could it be that you have some kind of collusion with that demon? Did half of the boys and girls he ate end up in your stomach?"

Guanyin's expression changed drastically, and she angrily rebuked him: "Jin Chanzi, don't make trouble. Since I joined the Buddhist order, I have always done good deeds and accumulated merits, and devoted myself to studying Buddhism. I have never done anything wrong. What are your intentions in slandering me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi curled his lip. To be fair, Guanyin had indeed been helping the weak and vulnerable since she entered Buddhism, and there was no denying that.

For this reason, Jin Chanzi's tone was not so harsh; he simply asked Guanyin to explain why she was protecting the demon.

Guanyin said coldly, "The Great King Linggan is a goldfish from my Purple Bamboo Grove. He only descended to the mortal realm for a moment because he was playing around. I will take him back and discipline him strictly. As the Buddhist teachings say, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' If you insist on killing him, wouldn't that be contrary to the true meaning of Buddhism?"

"Bullshit! What do you mean by 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha'? Those children died for nothing? Don't you Buddhists say everyone is equal? ​​It ate so many boys and girls, and it's making it pay for its debt with one of its own lives. It's actually making a profit!"

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, Guanyin's face turned ashen: "Sun Wukong!" Her roar was as loud as a bell, causing the river water to splash everywhere: "You helped Jin Chanzi kill my golden fish, and now you are causing trouble here, violating the rules of my Buddhist sect. Today I will make you know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong grinned, flicked his golden cudgel, and it transformed into a beam of golden light that shot straight to the heavens: "Guanyin, you can't win an argument, so you resort to violence? Besides, it was Jin Chanzi who killed this demon. Why don't you go after him instead of me? Do you think I, Old Sun, am easy to bully?"

“Bodhisattva, what Brother Monkey said makes sense! You’re protecting this man-eating demon, so where’s the rule of conduct?” Pigsy chimed in.

"It seems you are all stubbornly clinging to your delusions."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said with a disdainful look, "If you want to fight, then fight! I, Old Sun, am not afraid of you!"

Guanyin snorted coldly, raised her jade bottle, and the willow branch inside sprinkled out endless sweet dew, which transformed into thousands of silver blades that rushed straight towards Sun Wukong. Each silver blade contained world-destroying magical power, intending to crush Sun Wukong directly.

"Well done!" Sun Wukong opened his eyes wide, and his Golden Eyes of Truth burst forth with intense golden light. Stars seemed to flow within his eyes, and all things in heaven and earth were within his sight.

Although Guanyin's silver blade was swift, its trajectory was clearly visible under the discerning golden eyes, revealing every flaw.

Sun Wukong swayed, his somersault cloud covering a thousand miles in an instant, easily dodging the silver light. At the same time, he swung his golden cudgel, bringing with it the force of wind and thunder, aiming straight for Guanyin's face.

Guanyin frowned slightly, waved her hand, and a golden lotus flower flew out of the jade bottle, transforming into a huge barrier that blocked the golden cudgel.

The collision caused the Tongtian River to burst open, the riverbanks to collapse, and the ground to shake for miles around.

Instead of retreating, Sun Wukong advanced, activating his Golden Eyes of Truth once more, allowing him to perceive the flow of Guanyin's magical power and changes in her aura.

In Sun Wukong's view, Guanyin's lotus barrier appeared flawless, but in reality, the lower left three inches were the weakest in terms of magical power, and he could break it with a single blow.

So Sun Wukong's golden cudgel transformed into thousands of shadowy staffs, concentrating on a single point and precisely striking the flaw in the lotus barrier.

"Boom!" The lotus barrier shattered in response, scattering fragments everywhere. Guanyin was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Sun Wukong to break her divine power so easily. She flashed and transformed into a thousand-armed, thousand-eyed Dharma form, holding a magical weapon in each hand. Swords, spears, halberds, bells, and pagodas all came out at once, overwhelming Sun Wukong.

"Why do you Buddhist monks always like to do this kind of thing?" As he spoke, Sun Wukong's Golden Eyes of Truth shone even brighter. The trajectory of Guanyin's Thousand Hands magic weapon was as clear as slow motion in his eyes. He moved like lightning, and his golden cudgel was wielded so tightly that it was impenetrable, knocking away the incoming magic weapons one by one.

Taking advantage of a moment when Guanyin's image was in the air, Sun Wukong somersaulted behind Guanyin and brought his golden cudgel down with the force of Mount Tai.

Guanyin reacted extremely quickly, and in her thousand-armed form, she held a vajra in one hand to meet the attack. The golden cudgel collided with the vajra, bursting out with dazzling light, and the void was torn apart with cracks.

The two retreated a few steps each, and Sun Wukong laughed loudly: "Guanyin, is my Golden Eyes of Illusion still pleasing to the eye? Let's go again!"

Guanyin's face grew increasingly gloomy. A silver river flew out from her jade bottle, transforming into a boundless water curtain that trapped Sun Wukong within it. The water curtain contained endless binding power, intending to suppress Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong remained calm and collected. With a sweep of his Golden Eyes, he revealed all the magical nodes within the water curtain. He took a deep breath, unleashing the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal within him. With a swing of his Golden Cudgel, the tip of the cudgel ignited Samadhi True Fire, instantly burning a gap in the water curtain and freeing himself from its confinement.

"Guanyin, today I, Old Sun, will show you the true power of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!" Sun Wukong's fighting spirit soared, his Golden Eyes of Truth locked onto Guanyin, and his Golden Cudgel transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, rushing straight towards Guanyin.

Seeing this, Guanyin knew that this battle would not end well. She waved her willow branch, which transformed into countless threads of light, intending to entangle the golden dragon.

The two unleashed their supernatural powers, causing the world to lose its color, and the sky above the Tongtian River to surge with wind and clouds, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Jin Chanzi watched coldly from the sidelines, gripping his staff tightly, his thoughts unknown.

Pigsy, however, immediately cheered on Monkey King: "Brother Monkey, don't hold back! Today we must let the Buddhist sect know that we, the four of us, are not people to be manipulated!"

Sun Wukong chuckled, plucked a hair from his head, blew on it, and instantly strengthened his golden cudgel, unleashing a towering shadow that stretched as far as the eye could see towards Guanyin.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Sun Wukong's golden cudgel transform into a ten-thousand-foot iron rod and strike, she hurriedly threw out a willow branch from her jade bottle. The light threads of the willow branch wrapped around him like a net, and when the two collided, they immediately erupted with a deafening roar.

The shadow of the staff quickly tore through the light threads, but Guanyin's power was profound, and the light threads regenerated endlessly, trapping the shadow of the staff within.

Sun Wukong frowned, his Golden Eyes flashing with golden light as he discerned the weakness of the light threads. With a loud shout, his golden cudgel suddenly expanded, shattering the light threads, and the aftershocks rushed straight towards Guanyin.

"Monkey, you wicked creature! Today, this humble monk will suppress you with my golden body!" Guanyin was furious, and her body shone with great Buddhist light, instantly transforming into a sixteen-foot-tall golden body, tall and majestic, shining with golden light, like an immortal Buddha standing in the void.

The golden-bodied figure formed hand seals, from which countless Buddha palms emerged, striking Sun Wukong layer upon layer. Each palm carried the Buddhist power to purify all things, causing the void to distort.

Sun Wukong remained calm and laughed heartily: "Guanyin, do you think you're the only one who can grow bigger?"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his blood boiling, and the ancient power of the Chaos Demon Ape was fully activated.

In an instant, demonic energy surged around Sun Wukong, his hair stood on end, and his eyes flashed with blood-red light. A primal, wild aura of chaos swept across the heavens and earth. "Roar!" He roared to the sky, unleashing his Heavenly Manifestation Divine Power. His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a golden-haired ape ninety-nine thousand feet tall, towering between heaven and earth. His fur shone like golden silk, and his muscles bulged, resembling a colossal beast that had created the world. The ape's eyes were crimson, and its Golden Eyes of Illusion added to its power. The winds and clouds shifted, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The golden-haired ape stretched out its claw, shattering the void, and grabbed straight for Guanyin's golden body.

Undeterred, Guanyin's golden body met the attack with her palm. The collision caused the Tongtian River to flow backward and mountains to collapse. Sun Wukong activated the Law of Battle, his fighting spirit erupting like a volcano. With each exchange, he grew stronger and faster, becoming more and more courageous with each battle.

At first, Guanyin's golden body remained as stable as Mount Tai, and her Buddha light resisted the monkey's frenzied attacks. However, under the operation of Sun Wukong's battle law, his attacks became more and more fierce. Every claw carried the destructive power of the Chaos Demon Ape, and his Golden Eyes of Illusion precisely locked onto every crack in the golden body.

"Impossible! How could you, you monkey, be so powerful!" Guanyin was astonished, her golden body retreating repeatedly, and the Buddha's light began to dim.

Sun Wukong roared, his giant claws slashing repeatedly. With the support of the Law of War, his power surged like a tidal wave, each claw heavier than the last.

Finally, in a momentous collision, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was spat out of the ape's mouth, transforming into a colossal pillar that carried the power of chaos and the will to fight, and smashed straight into the golden body's chest.

With a deafening boom, Guanyin's sixteen-foot-tall golden body shattered, scattering golden light and fragments falling like meteors. Guanyin revealed her true form, pale-faced, blood trickling from her lips, staggering backward, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Sun Wukong, you...you actually shattered this humble monk's golden body!"

Sun Wukong withdrew his Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique, returned to his original form, and, leaning on his golden cudgel, laughed loudly: "What's so strange about this? You don't think you're stronger than me, Old Sun, do you?"

"Wukong, don't waste your breath on her. Just teach her a lesson and let her go."

Sun Wukong nodded and raised his staff to strike.

Just then, a Buddhist chant rang out in the void: "Amitabha, Wukong, please be merciful when you can!"

As they spoke, a beam of Buddhist light appeared in the void. Sun Wukong looked closely and saw that it was Dipankara Buddha.

Randeng's cultivation level is far beyond that of Guanyin. During the Investiture of the Gods, Randeng's cultivation level broke through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, and now he is already at the late-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Sun Wukong assessed their cultivation levels and concluded that they were no match for each other.

But who is Sun Wukong? How could he possibly back down just because he can't win? A golden light flashed in his eyes, and his Golden Eyes of Truth swept over the figure shrouded in the light of Dipankara Buddha. A disdainful smile appeared on his lips: "Old man Dipankara, if you want to stand up for Guanyin, my old Sun's staff doesn't discriminate!"

He brandished his golden cudgel, his fighting spirit increasing rather than decreasing. The wild aura of the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline surged once more, faintly showing signs of unleashing the Law of Heaven and Earth once more.

Jin Chanzi stood aside, his staff planted on the ground, and said coldly, "Randeng, King Linggan has devoured countless people and is deeply sinful. Guanyin is protecting him. What wrong have my master and I done in acting on behalf of Heaven? If you interfere, don't blame this humble monk for showing no mercy!"

The ancient Buddha Dipankara had a calm expression, his hands clasped together, and the Buddha's light behind him transformed into a boundless crystal world, surrounded by auspicious clouds and chanting. The pressure of a late-stage Quasi-Saint swept over like a tide, causing the Tongtian River to freeze.

Pigsy and Sandy's expressions changed slightly, and they secretly took a few steps back. Only Monkey King and Golden Cicada remained unmoved. Golden light emanated from their bodies, isolating them from all attacks. It was the golden light of merit.

Randeng frowned and said, "Sun Wukong, Jin Chanzi, although you two have great merits protecting you, you still cannot stop this poor monk. The destruction of Guanyin's golden body is already a lesson. Why are you so aggressive?"

Sun Wukong ignored Ran Deng's words, flicked his golden cudgel in his hand, and said without changing his expression, "Randeng, don't try to scare me with the Three Realms! On our journey to the West, demons and monsters have blocked our way, and Buddhist immortals have been protecting their own. I, Sun Wukong, have long been fed up with this! If you don't make way today, I'll beat you until you do!"

After speaking, Sun Wukong opened his eyes wide, and his Golden Eyes of Illusion shone brightly. The flaws in the crystal world of the Burning Lamp were exposed in his eyes. Although the flow of magic power of a late-stage Quasi-Saint was as vast as the sea, it was not invincible.

Guanyin clutched her chest, her breath ragged, and roared, "Dipankara Buddha, this wicked monkey has defied his superior and destroyed my golden body! His crime is unforgivable! I beg you, Ancient Buddha, to take action and suppress this fiend!"

Ran Deng shook his head slightly, his gaze deep, as if weighing the pros and cons. Although he was a late-stage Quasi-Saint, far surpassing Sun Wukong's peak Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, Sun Wukong's Chaotic Demon Ape bloodline and the Divine Power of the Golden Eye of Illusion made him dare not underestimate him.

Moreover, Jin Chanzi is a reincarnated Buddhist monk, and he is involved with Buddha and the entire Journey to the West. Taking action rashly could cause even greater unforeseen circumstances.

But neither of them was willing to back down. After pondering for a moment, Randeng gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Wukong, if that's the case, then this humble monk will give you a try."

After he finished speaking, an ancient glass lamp appeared in the lamp, its wick burning with boundless Buddhist flames, which transformed into nine fire dragons that roared and pounced on Sun Wukong. Each fire dragon contained the power of a quasi-saint, enough to burn the sky and boil the sea.

"Well done!" Sun Wukong advanced instead of retreating, unleashing the full power of his battle laws. The power of his bloodline, which grew stronger with each battle, fueled his overwhelming fighting spirit.

With a flicker of his body, he cast the spell "Heaven and Earth Transformation," transforming into a golden-haired ape ninety-nine thousand feet tall. With a wave of his giant claws, his Golden Eyes of Insight locked onto the fire dragon's weakness, tearing the fire dragon apart.

As the golden cudgel danced, wind and thunder surged, and the remaining fire dragons were all scattered by the shadow of the cudgel, turning into a sky full of sparks.

The lamp's expression changed slightly. With a turn of the glass lamp, countless points of light flew out and transformed into endless phantoms of Buddhas, chanting scriptures in unison. The sound of Buddha's voice shook the heavens, attempting to suppress Sun Wukong's mind with the supreme Dharma.

Sun Wukong used his Golden Eyes of Truth to pierce through the illusion of the Buddha's voice, and his giant ape body charged straight at the lamp, his staff shadow as large as a mountain, smashing towards the glass lamp.

"Clang!" The golden cudgel collided with the glass lamp, unleashing a deafening roar. Cracks appeared in the void, and most of the water in the Tongtian River was evaporated by the aftershocks.

The lamp's body trembled, and the light of the glass lamp dimmed. Although the quasi-saint's power was strong, it seemed to be on the verge of collapse under Sun Wukong's fierce attack.

Seeing this, Jin Chanzi waved his staff, and golden light, like the blazing sun, helped Sun Wukong suppress the Buddha's light from Dipankara.

Pigsy and Sandy exchanged a glance, mustered their courage, and each unleashed their magical weapons to join the battle.

Although their strength was far inferior to that of Randeng, they managed to distract Randeng by keeping Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong at bay.

Randeng frowned, knowing that if he didn't finish the battle quickly today, he would lose face completely.

With a clasp of his hands, the glass lamp transformed into a sun, hanging above his head and radiating boundless light, intending to suppress Sun Wukong and his companions in one fell swoop.

Sun Wukong, however, was prepared. His Golden Eyes of Illusion locked onto the core of the Buddha Sun, and his Golden Cudgel, carrying the power of the Chaos Demon Ape and the ultimate burst of the Law of War, pierced straight into the Buddha Sun.

"Boom!" The Buddha Sun shattered, and Randeng groaned as he retreated violently, a trace of golden blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Sun Wukong put away his Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique, stood leaning on his staff, and panted, "Old man Ran Deng, I told you, whoever blocks my way today, I'll beat them! If you don't get out of my way, I won't show any mercy!" (End of this chapter)
