Great Demon Sun Wukong

The direct consequence of Sun Wukong’s rampage was the full-force eruption of the four Five-Colored Divine Stones on his body, with rays of four different colors soaring into the sky. At the same time, from the point between Sun Wukong’s eyebrows, the illusory shadows of the four Five-Colored Divine Stones rose out of thin air, hovering and rotating incessantly above his head.

However, these four stones were not positioned in the four cardinal directions but were instead situated in the four corners of a Pentagram Array, with only the last corner remaining vacant.

"You’re all going to die, all of you, everyone must die!"

With a heart-wrenching roar that pierced the soul, the illusory shadows of the four divine stones atop his head suddenly began a kind of resonance. As they resonated, the four stones once again started to vibrate at the same frequency, as if summoning something.

Suddenly, a streak of emerald light shot from the deepest part of the Hidden Wood Forest, pursued by the Ancestral Witches Xuan Ming and Ju Mang. Had these two abruptly split apart to search for the Five-Colored Divine Stone with the Wood Attribute in Hidden Wood Forest?

Was Master Tongtian also scheming to find the Five-Colored Divine Stone?, or was he fearing the power I could wield by fusing the five stones?

Master Tongtian, who had seemed confident of his victory, guessed what that emerald light was upon seeing it, and the Ancestral Witches following it. The next moment, his face revealed a look of terror.

"Hou Yi, Zhurong, Xing Tian, hurry, stop him, damn it, he can actually summon the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Damn it all." Shouting frantically, upon seeing the Wood Attribute Five-Colored Divine Stone, Master Tongtian lost all his earlier composure and pride.

However, what frightened him more was that neither Hou Yi’s Sun Shooting Divine Arrow nor Xing Tian’s Gan Qi Divine Axe could inflict even the slightest injury on Sun Wukong, who was enveloped by the four rays of light.

So, Master Tongtian could only watch, wide-eyed, as the emerald light flashed and merged into the vacant corner of the Pentagram Array above Sun Wukong’s head. Thus, the four illusory divine stones, together with one real divine stone, the five Five-Colored Divine Stones, were finally united!

The moment the Wood Attribute Divine Stone took its place, a burst of five-colored light erupted from Sun Wukong’s body once more. Moreover, these five colors of brilliance shot straight into the sky, eventually connecting directly with the heavens above.

Back when Gonggong shattered Mount Buzhou, Nuwa melted the Five-Colored Divine Stone to mend the sky. Therefore, the Five-Colored Divine Stone later merged into the Heavenly Dao, embodying the might and power of the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, when the five Five-Colored Divine Stones assembled once again, the Heavenly Dao responded, accepting the five colors of brilliance outright. And the embodiment of these five colors of brilliance, Sun Wukong, in that very moment, directly received the Heavenly Dao’s baptism.

Watching Sun Wukong truly fuse with the five stones and even triggering a response from the Heavenly Dao, Master Tongtian, no longer concerned with panic or fear, immediately commanded the twelve Ancestral Witches to set up the Twelve Protectors of Heaven and Earth Great Formation!

As Sun Wukong’s five-colored brilliance connected with the Heavenly Dao, two people engaged in a fierce battle somewhere Beyond the Heavens also sensed it and immediately ceased fighting, rushing back to the Pangu Realm at top speed. Such a sensation reminded them both of something significant.

Since ancient times, all cultivators have aimed to prove and achieve the Great Dao as their lifelong goal, for only by realizing the Great Dao can one instantly become a saint. However, no one knew that sainthood was not the end but merely the starting point.

Because only a saint is worthy of communicating with the Heavenly Dao and, at a certain moment, receiving the baptism of the Heavenly Dao, and then, breaking through sainthood to reach another realm—Saint of the Great Dao!

If one says a saint is the one who has proven the Great Dao and received the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Dao, then a Saint of the Great Dao is one who possesses their own Dao above the Heavenly Dao., The individuals in this realm can be said to be on par with the Heavenly Dao, and the exemplary few even surpass it.

But how difficult is it to receive the baptism of the Heavenly Dao? Since Pangu created the world, countless have proven the Dao, yet only a dozen or so have been worthy of the Heavenly Dao’s baptism!

And while those dozen individuals received the Heavenly Dao’s baptism, not one could break through to the realm of the Saint of the Great Dao—they all failed at the final step, thus becoming Half-step Saints of the Great Dao.

Kunpeng, the Heavenly Venerate, Donghuang Taiyi, Di Jun, Human Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa, Chi You, Yellow Emperor, Shennong, and Samantabhadra Tathagata were all Half-step Saints of the Great Dao who had received the Heavenly Dao’s baptism but failed to advance.

Among them, Samantabhadra Tathagata was the teacher of Mahavairocana Tathagata, the first to become a Buddha of the formless realm, having attained Buddhahood an immeasurable number of great eons ago.

Now, in the whole Pangu Realm, the strong who are Half-step Saints of the Great Dao amounted to only Kunpeng and the Heavenly Venerate—so the surprise at this third individual, Sun Wukong, who was presently receiving the Heavenly Dao’s baptism, was certain. Compared to this, their own conflicts seemed unimportant.

Meanwhile, Chang’er, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Zhu Long, also sensed the abnormalities in the Heavenly Dao. As an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, Chang’er was sensitive to changes in it. She glanced at Zhu Long before her, whom she had grievously injured, and without a furrowed brow, uttered an incredulous "impossible," before she instantaneously descended.

Zhu Long also sensed the anomaly, but he did not descend; being severely injured, his priority was to heal quickly. Otherwise, once the battle resumed, he would surely be the first to fall.

Just as Master Tongtian had finished directing the twelve Ancestral Witches to set up the Twelve Zodiac God of Slaughter Great Formation, just when the Primordial Heavenly Venerate suddenly appeared behind Tongtian, just as Kunpeng waved his hand to block Chang’er’s sneak attack on Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong, undergoing the baptism of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly let out a muffled shout.

Then, the radiance of the five colors abruptly ceased, followed immediately by a sense of fury emanating from the Heavenly Dao above the vault of heaven.

Oddly enough, the Heavenly Dao should just be a set of rules, an order, yet at this moment, everyone could clearly feel the Heavenly Dao’s furious emotions, as if it had been deceived, its wrath shaking the very foundations.

When the Heavenly Dao is enraged, all living beings tremble with fear.

Every creature within the Pangu Realm, feeling this boundless rage, prostrated themselves on the ground, daring not to make the slightest movement.

Even beings as mighty as Kunpeng and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate knelt on one knee, overwhelmed by this unassailable pressure.

Then, dark clouds suddenly began to accumulate above the azure sky, conveying a divine might—this was a strong will of destruction, a determination to obliterate everything!

Feeling this resolute will to destroy, both the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Kunpeng looked alarmed. The Primordial Heavenly Venerate mustered all his strength to barely stand up, then spat out three wisps of clean clouds from his mouth. Finally, he sat cross-legged above the clouds and fled into the distance.

The terror of the Heavenly Dao’s destruction was so great that it even robbed the Primordial Heavenly Venerate of the courage to escape with Master Tongtian.

Kunpeng, too, instantaneously revealed his true form. His vast body that blotted out the sky gave Kunpeng a moment of relief from the pressure. Then, with a flash of his wings, he created a gust of wind that swept up the dazed Chang’er, the corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque, and the damaged Azure Great Clock before swiftly departing.

Along the way, he encountered the fleeing Zhu Long and took him along in the escape.

After the death of the Six-Eared Macaque, the small, earthen mountain crumbled into nothing, leaving only the residual Azure Great Clock on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, at the entrance to the Hidden Wood Forest, only Master Tongtian, caught within the Twelve Zodiac God of Slaughter Great Formation, and the seated Sun Wukong remained.

Three breaths later, dark clouds above Sun Wukong’s head began to swirl, gradually forming into a vortex of clouds. In a single breath, without warning, a thunderbolt ten meters thick and pitch-black struck down from the vortex. This thunder was none other than the Destructive Divine Thunder of the Heavenly Dao.

It was the thunder of obliteration that only appeared when an extremely vile person threatened the existence of the Heavenly Dao and the entire Pangu Realm.

Now, this Destructive Divine Thunder was aimed directly at Sun Wukong and crashed down in an instant! And this was only the first bolt of thunder!

It is known that divine thunders sent from heaven, whether for punishment, tribulation, or destruction, only grow stronger with each bolt. But the first bolt to destroy Sun Wukong is already the Destructive Divine Thunder of the Heavenly Dao, what could possibly follow?

Just as Sun Wukong was overwhelmed by the Destructive Divine Thunder, Master Tongtian in the distance had turned dumbfounded, not merely from fright, but because he realized that the twelve Demon Gods had broken free from his control.

His twelve poles of the Demon God’s Flag, for which he had slaughtered one million and two hundred thousand living beings and consecrated with their blood, had lost their connection with him. This meant that the twelve Ancestral Witches were no longer under his control; he had lost his greatest defense, becoming effectively a cripple.

A Saint of the Taoist Sect, desiring to turn to the Demon Path, could only do so by being baptized with the blood of living beings, erasing their divine imprints, thus falling completely into demonhood!
