Chapter 276: One Rod to Kill Tathagata, One Rod to Kill the Jade Emperor, the Indestructible Heavenly Boat

“Old Tathagata, take my old Sun’s rod!”
Seeing Sun Wukong suddenly rise up, wielding his giant rod and smashing it towards Tathagata, all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Bhikkhunis of Spirit Mountain were stunned.

Daring to attack Tathagata Buddha, he’s truly an old birthday star hanging himself, tired of living!

Tathagata sat on the golden lotus platform, unmoving as a mountain, his solemn appearance unwavering, but a tempestuous wave surged within his heart.

The moment Sun Wukong struck, he realized the monkey’s cultivation and strength had skyrocketed countless times.

He was far from the monkey he could once suppress with a single hand.

He even sensed a great danger.

“What kind of opportunity did this monkey get, to become so strong?”

Tathagata pressed his palms together, a golden Buddha body rising from behind him. A golden palm, as if cast from gold, rose to block the Golden-Hooped Rod.

Crack! Crack!

Cracks like porcelain spread across the golden palm, but it managed to block Sun Wukong’s strike.

“How is this possible?”

They had expected Sun Wukong to be suppressed with one move, but he actually cracked Tathagata Buddha’s golden palm with a single rod? Were they dreaming?

Sensing Sun Wukong’s strength, Tathagata no longer passively endured the attack. The cracks in his golden palm instantly healed, and he flipped his hand, pressing down with his palm.

Buddha’s light illuminated everything, encompassing the four seas. A giant palm, as vast as a mountain, descended from the sky.

Sun Wukong immediately felt the surrounding void solidify, a terrifying force pressing down on him, restricting his movement.

Five hundred years ago, he had been suppressed with a single palm, unable to resist.

“Five hundred years on the east side of the river, five hundred years on the west. I want this sky to no longer be able to cover my eyes, I want all the gods and Buddhas to vanish into thin air!”

“Break for me!”

Sun Wukong and his rod became one, transforming into a Golden-Hooped Rod that reached the heavens and earth, crashing headfirst into the descending golden giant palm! “The monkey still dares to be arrogant in the face of death!”

“An ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating himself!”

“A frog at the bottom of a well, how could it understand the greatness of Tathagata Buddha?”

Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Ananda, Kasyapa, the Laughing Buddha, and other Buddhas and disciples of Spirit Mountain sneered, their eyes filled with mockery.

Even though Sun Wukong’s strength exceeded their expectations, they didn’t believe he could defeat Tathagata.

Boom!
A deafening roar, like the explosion of the universe, shook the heavens and earth. The sky seemed to have been pierced with a hole.

That vast, sun-obscuring golden palm, stretching for millions of miles, was actually pierced through by Sun Wukong’s rod.

Sun Wukong stood proudly in the void, his rod in hand, radiating vigor.

He had risen!
Tathagata’s eyes were solemn. At this moment, even he had to admit that Sun Wukong had the strength to fight him.

“This monkey truly has a great secret!”

During this time, Sun Wukong had been subduing demons and monsters along the way, snatching treasures from many immortals and Buddhas. Even Laozi’s treasures had been plundered.

Twice, even.

Once when two boys transformed into the Great King Gold Horn and the Great King Silver Horn, he lost several treasures.

Another time when the Azure Ox descended to the mortal world, he lost the Diamond Bracelet.

The same went for other immortals and Buddhas.

However, they didn’t know where Sun Wukong had taken the treasures. Plus, with the Journey to the West plan underway, they hadn’t taken action against him yet.

Tathagata had promised everyone that after the Journey to the West was completed, he would help them retrieve their treasures from Sun Wukong.

He hadn’t expected that before he could act.

Sun Wukong would strike first.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sun Wukong attacked again, his rod creating countless shadows that collided with Tathagata’s palm.

The heavens and earth trembled.

The Three Realms were in turmoil.

Gulp!

Zhu Bajie swallowed hard, shocked beyond words: “Damn it, when did Monkey become so fierce?”

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor and the immortals watched the battle between Sun Wukong and Tathagata from afar, their hearts pounding.

“What kind of opportunity did this monkey get? In just a few hundred years, he has become so terrifying?”

Rumble!
Sun Wukong stomped on the top of the Great Thunderclap Temple, his terrifying power overturning it. Spirit Mountain cracked and shattered with a boom!

“Beast, you are courting death!”

At this moment.

Not only was Tathagata furious.

Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, the Laughing Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, and other Buddhist deities were also enraged.

He had overturned their Buddhist holy land!

Moreover, Tathagata seemed unable to defeat Sun Wukong.

So.

They didn’t hold back anymore.

“Subduing demons and monsters, there’s no need for righteousness!”

“Let’s attack together!”

“Amitabha!”

“Wretched monkey, die!”

“Beast, give me your life!”

“Monkey, take this!”

Buddha’s light surged, various supernatural abilities and magical treasures engulfing Sun Wukong like a raging storm.

Sun Wukong’s body was strong, but he couldn’t withstand the overwhelming numbers.

Although he had become much stronger.

Tathagata, as a supreme expert of the Three Realms, possessed extraordinary strength. Coupled with the numerous Buddhist masters, Sun Wukong immediately fell into a disadvantage, being relentlessly attacked.

“Beast, show us all your trump cards!”

Tathagata and the other Buddhist masters were confident of victory. Suppressing Sun Wukong seemed to be only a matter of time.

“Old Tathagata, open your eyes wide and watch!”

Sun Wukong didn’t hold back either, contacting Zhou Chen in the chat group.

Having received so many treasures and demons from Sun Wukong, Zhou Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse. Besides, there were still many treasures in the Journey to the West world.

These were all his rewards.

Zhou Chen immediately dispatched a powerful combat avatar.

Having advanced to the first level of Ancestor God and comprehending ten Great Daos, Zhou Chen’s current strength was extraordinary. Even a single avatar was a terrifying existence that shook the heavens and earth.

“Boom!”

Just as Tathagata was on high alert, a loud boom suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth, like a clap of thunder, shaking everyone’s souls.

A massive bolt of lightning suddenly ripped through the sky, the dark clouds churning as if something was struggling to break free.

A terrifying aura flowed down from the sky, distorting the void, slowing down time, and solidifying the air.

Thunder roared.

Mountains swayed. The heavens and earth trembled.

Everyone felt a ringing in their ears.

Their breathing became rapid, their hearts raced, and an inexplicable fear and unease gripped them, as if a great terror was descending.

Hum.

Boundless divine light bloomed from between the heavens and earth, illuminating Spirit Mountain, illuminating Xiniu Hezhou, illuminating Nanzhanbuzhou, illuminating Dongsheng Shenzhou, illuminating Beiju Luzhou, illuminating all of heaven and earth, even illuminating the underworld.

Ghosts wailed.

Countless underworld deities trembled in fear.

“This is.”

Tathagata’s eyes widened. A colossal figure, shrouded in divine light, stood between heaven and earth, like the pillar of Mount Buzhou, connecting the two realms.

Its height was immeasurable, reaching billions and billions of miles.

Its head was beyond sight.

Standing there, it was like the center of the universe.

With each breath, worlds were born and then extinguished around it, returning to chaos.

It stood there, like an eternal deity, overlooking all beings in heaven and earth.

Unimaginably terrifying.

Indescribably powerful.

No one could see how tall it was, nor could anyone describe how vast it was.

The universe and the world were like dust particles before it.

“How could such a terrifying existence exist in this world?”

Tathagata was both shocked and terrified. That unimaginably colossal divine body seemed capable of bursting the Three Realms. Before it, he was like an ant on the ground.

“So scary!”

Guanyin’s voluptuous body trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.

Let alone its strength.

Just its immense size made resistance impossible.

Too big.

Too terrifying.

“Great Immortal’s divine body is truly boundless!”

Sun Wukong was equally amazed. Even though he knew Zhou Chen’s true body was larger than the universe, measured in billions of light-years.

This avatar’s body was nothing compared to the true body, but here, it was still boundless.

Zhou Chen didn’t make a move. His aura suppressed the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms. He left the rest to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong didn’t hold back either. He raised his rod and killed Tathagata with one blow.

Then he killed Ananda, Kasyapa, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, the Laughing Buddha, and the others with another blow.

He killed everyone he didn’t like.

As the orchestrator of the Journey to the West, Guanyin naturally wasn’t on good terms with Sun Wukong. She had previously wanted to put a headband on his head and let Tang Monk control him with the Tightening Curse.

However, Sun Wukong didn’t kill Guanyin. He planned to give her to Zhou Chen later. Since Guanyin liked to put headbands on him, he would let her put one on Zhou Chen.

Two birds with one stone.

Zhou Chen loved to be trapped anyway.

Then came the heavenly immortals.

Sun Wukong also killed the Jade Emperor with one blow, along with other immortals he didn’t like. The rest submitted.

Thus.

Sun Wukong became the supreme ruler of the Three Realms.

Zhou Chen confiscated all the treasures of the gods and Buddhas in the Journey to the West world and brought them back to the Mythological World.

Mythological World.

Red Dust Residence.

Zhou Chen integrated all the powerful magical treasures from the Journey to the West world into the Red Dust Heavenly Boat, along with the treasures he had obtained from other members of the chat group.

The Red Dust Heavenly Boat finally upgraded.

A total of three hundred unit worlds.

In other words, the Red Dust Heavenly Boat contained three hundred unit worlds, each containing a Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact.

Now, Zhou Chen could be described with one phrase: rolling in riches!

Rumble!
The Red Dust Heavenly Boat upgraded, reaching the Indestructible Grade.

Its power had increased by more than ten thousand times. Each unit world underwent a massive transformation, essentially evolving into a middle thousand world.

The power and essence of each Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact received a tremendous boost.

Next.

Was to reach three thousand unit worlds.

Three thousand worlds.

The Red Dust Heavenly Boat would then advance to the Eternal Grade.

The Eternal Grade Red Dust Heavenly Boat would be incredible. Its essence would surpass even that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, allowing it to travel freely through the heavens.

Even the current Indestructible Grade Red Dust Heavenly Boat could easily travel through the heavens and reach other worlds as long as it had the coordinates.

“Where is this?”

Journey to the West Guanyin, sent here by Sun Wukong, was utterly shocked. She had been casually thrown into the Myriad Forms World within the Heavenly Boat by Zhou Chen. She witnessed the world’s transformation and elevation with her own eyes.

It was like the creation of heaven and earth.

Indescribably terrifying.

Especially since she felt a great terror here. As long as she dared to disobey, she would be instantly suppressed.

“This is the inner world of one of my treasures.”

Zhou Chen appeared before Journey to the West Guanyin, looking her up and down. His invasive gaze made Guanyin feel uncomfortable, as if her clothes had been stripped away and she was standing naked before him.

“Not bad!”

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction and beckoned to her.

“Y-You, what do you want to do?”

Guanyin was made uneasy by Zhou Chen’s gaze, her heart filled with apprehension and trepidation.

She had witnessed Zhou Chen’s terror before.

Before him.

She had no power to resist.

She could only be at his mercy.

“Want!”

Zhou Chen’s words were concise and comprehensive. He pulled Journey to the West Guanyin into his arms, holding her captive.

“No. Mmm.”
