Chapter 204, Five Finger Mountain Collapse, the Most Critical Moment

Tathagata’s words kept echoing in Wukong’s ears.

“True victory is to calm the flames of war in our hearts and allow all races in the world to coexist in harmony”

This caused a ripple in his heart, and a feeling of self-doubt quietly grew.

In this mood of self-doubt, Wukong’s mind kept replaying the experiences of these years.

The hardships of becoming a river, the loneliness of being trapped in the river for five hundred years, and the persistent pursuit of freedom and ideals in one’s heart.

He began to reflect, should he give up this powerful force and look for an unknown, so-called more suitable way?
Just at this moment, the scene of the Bull Demon King on the north bank of Uttarakuru suddenly appeared on the screen. Under the suppression of power, the little demons dared not speak out and would suffer cruel punishment if they disobeyed the order.

Then the scene changed, and the gods in heaven were controlling all forces with their powerful strength. If they disobeyed, punishment from heaven would come.

Seeing this, Wukong’s heart was shocked.

He suddenly realized that no matter how gentle persuasion or seemingly equal negotiation, it would be difficult to truly achieve peace among all races in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Without absolute power and authority, how can we deter the ambitions of all parties?

Without strong power to back it up, the so-called peace is nothing but a bubble and may be broken at any time.

In the face of this cruel reality, any weakness or compromise will only intensify the conflict.

If you want to truly achieve harmonious coexistence among all races, you must have absolute power so that all those with ill intentions will not dare to easily provoke disputes.

Thinking of this, the confusion in Wukong’s heart dissipated instantly, and his eyes became firm and passionate again.

He gripped the golden cudgel tightly, looked up at the image of Tathagata Buddha, and said loudly:

“Tathagata, I understand! If this world wants true peace, it needs absolute power and authority.

Today, I still want to fight you! I want to use this power to create a truly peaceful world!”

The Buddha image shook his head slightly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and said:
“Wukong, you are still stubborn and stubborn. Fighting violence with violence will only lead to an endless cycle. How can it bring about true peace?”

Wukong laughed and said:
“Tathagata, although what you said makes sense, how many sentient beings in this world can listen to your advice? If there is no powerful force to make them fear, how can there be peace?
I want to use this battle to make you understand that the path I pursue, although difficult, is not impossible! “

After saying this, Wukong’s aura burst out again, and this time, his power contained more firmness and determination.

The aura around Wukong seemed like a torrent that broke through the heaven and earth. The force of the surging river, coupled with his powerful magic power, created huge waves around him and formed a huge whirlpool.

The waves in this whirlpool were surging, as if connecting the four seas and trying to draw the entire universe into it.

His eyes were wide open as he swung his golden cudgel. The cudgel shone with dazzling golden light, like the blazing sun hanging high in the sky. With an earth-shattering aura, he rushed towards the image of Tathagata Buddha with an unstoppable momentum.

The image of Tathagata Buddha looked calm, and looked at Wukong with compassion. Facing this fierce attack, he was not flustered. He gently raised his right hand with his palm facing up. A golden Buddha light bloomed from his palm and instantly turned into a huge golden light shield, which steadily blocked in front of him.

Sanskrit flickered and runes flowed on the light shield, as if containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

“boom!”

The golden cudgel slammed heavily on the light shield, causing a deafening sound, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and the entire world was shaking.

The powerful impact force spreads out from the collision point, forming air waves visible to the naked eye.

Wherever the air wave went, space shattered layer by layer, like a broken mirror, revealing dark cracks in the void. Lightning flashed in the cracks, as if the heaven and earth were groaning in pain.

Wukong’s attack missed, but he did not retreat at all. He shouted loudly, his voice like a huge bell, shaking the space:
“Tathagata, today is the day of your defeat!”

The golden hoop in his hand danced so fast that it was impenetrable. The shadows of the hoop were heavy and smashed towards the light shield like a violent storm.

With every collision, countless golden sparks splashed everywhere, as if stars were falling. The entire world was shrouded in this golden light, which stung people’s eyes.

The image of Tathagata Buddha still had a calm expression and was muttering something. The Buddha’s light on the shield became stronger and stronger, blocking all of Wukong’s attacks.

At the same time, Tathagata gently waved his left hand, and countless golden lotuses suddenly appeared in the sky.

The lotus flowers sparkled with mysterious light. Each one was as big as a millstone, with layered petals engraved with ancient runes.

These lotuses flew towards Wukong with overwhelming force, and wherever they passed, the void was dyed golden.

When Wukong saw this, he flashed and shuttled among the lotuses like a ghost.

He swung the golden cudgel left and right, smashing the approaching lotuses one by one. However, the lotuses continued to appear, seemingly endless, surrounding Wukong from all directions.

Wukong’s heart trembled, knowing that he could not continue to passively take the beating like this, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and the power of the river water around him surged wildly. He gathered all his strength on the golden cudgel, then shouted loudly, and swung it towards the sky with all his strength.

In an instant, a huge water dragon roared out from the golden hoop, with its fangs and claws bared, emitting an icy aura all over its body. It was tens of thousands of feet long, and every scale was flashing with cold light, as if it were made of solid ice.

Its eyes were like huge lanterns, flashing red light, and it pounced towards the golden lotus and the shadow of Buddha.

Wherever the water dragon went, the lotus flowers were frozen and shattered, turning into pieces of golden powder that floated in the air like golden snowflakes.

“Huh, is this your method?”

Wukong shouted at Tathagata,

“Today I will break through your obstruction!”

The image of Tathagata Buddha finally changed color slightly. He clasped his hands together and chanted scriptures. His voice seemed to come from endless time and space, carrying a power that shook people’s hearts.

An even more dazzling Buddha light burst out from his body. This Buddha light was like the light from the core of the sun, enveloping the water dragon.

The water dragon struggled and roared in the Buddha’s light, its body twisting constantly, trying to break free from the Buddha’s light, but it could not escape. Gradually, the water dragon’s power was weakened bit by bit by the Buddha’s light, and finally it turned into a pool of clear water, falling to the ground, with water vapor rising, like a fairyland on earth.

Wukong was not discouraged. There was a determination in his eyes. Although the golden chain mail on his body was damaged during the battle, it could not conceal his momentum.

At this time, although his body was covered with sweat and traces of battle, his momentum became more and more powerful, like an indomitable god of war.

His hair fluttered wildly in the wind and his magical power surged around him like a volcano about to erupt.

The Buddha looked at Wukong:

“Wukong, let go of your obsession. Fighting violence with violence will never bring true peace.”

Tathagata’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate the human soul.

Wukong just smiled coldly.
“Tathagata, you are wrong! In this world where the strong prey on the weak, there is no absolute power and peace is just an illusion! I will use this power to create true peace!”

After saying that, he swung the golden cudgel again. The light on the cudgel became more and more dazzling. The ground beneath his feet began to crack. The powerful force caused the space around him to distort and deform.

I don’t know how long the battle lasted.

There was chaos between heaven and earth, with broken space and raging energy turbulence everywhere.

Wukong tried his best and pushed the power of himself and the four seas to the extreme. His body seemed to have turned into a vast ocean, and the surging power continued to impact the Buddha’s light.

The golden cudgel in his hand was filled with overwhelming momentum, and every swing could cause the void to vibrate.

However, Tathagata’s Dharma was boundless, and layers of Buddha’s light dissolved Wukong’s attacks one by one. Those golden lotuses and Sanskrit runes were like a solid wall, firmly guarding Tathagata.

As the battle continued, Wukong gradually felt overwhelmed.

Although his power was extremely strong, Tathagata’s Pure Land of Buddha seemed to have endless energy, which continuously supported the defense of Buddha’s light. Just when Wukong took a breath, Tathagata seized the opportunity, quickly formed seals with both hands, and muttered something.

In an instant, five huge mountains appeared in the sky. These five mountains, with the momentum to suppress the heaven and earth, flew down towards Wukong at a rapid speed.

“Wukong, you are too obsessed. I will let you reflect on your mistakes here today.”

Tathagata’s voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Wukong was shocked, this scene was so familiar to him. Wasn’t it the same ending as himself in another experience, after facing Tathagata?
As a result of that experience, he was suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years.

but now.
This will never happen again!
He looked at the five mountains that were rapidly approaching, and those memories were strangely as if he had experienced them himself.

Rather than just observing it from a God’s perspective.

Moreover, the humiliation and unwillingness of being suppressed for five hundred years, his unremitting exploration and pursuit of power, and his persistent desire for a peaceful world, surged in his heart like a surging tide.

At this moment, the stone monkey’s two experiences seemed to merge into one.

He is no longer the ignorant and impulsive stone monkey, but the Monkey King who has gone through countless hardships and carries the hope for peace among all races!
“I, Old Sun, will never be suppressed by you again!”

Wukong let out a long roar towards the sky, and the sound was like a thunderbolt, splitting the chaotic world apart.

The power of the river water around him and the powerful magic power blended together and spun wildly, forming a huge energy storm.

In this storm, Wukong’s body gradually became illusory and real. Every pore of his body was absorbing the power between heaven and earth, and every inch of his meridians was playing a battle song of strength.

He closed his eyes, and his mind flashed quickly with the freedom of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the difficulties and dangers on the journey to obtain the scriptures, the bravery and determination of Zihua Jianghe, and the cruel battlefield before him.

These images were like puzzle pieces, piecing together a complete belief in his heart – only absolute power could protect everything he cherished and truly achieve peace among all races.

At this moment, it seemed as if there were really two worlds of Goku that had completely merged into one.

When Wukong opened his eyes again, two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes. The rays contained endless power and determination, as if they could see through all the vanity in this world.

He slowly raised the golden hoop stick. At this moment, the golden hoop stick seemed to feel the will of its master. The stick body trembled violently, making bursts of buzzing sounds. The runes on it flickered and jumped, gathering the purest power between heaven and earth.

“break!”

Wukong shouted loudly, and this shout contained all his strength and faith, like the first loud noise of the creation of the world, shaking the heaven and earth.

He used all his strength to swing the stick with the strongest force.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to freeze. All the light, all the sound, and all the power gathered on this stick at this moment.

A golden light burst out from the top of the golden hoop. The light was like a bridge that spanned heaven and earth, connecting the real world with the unknown world.

Wherever this light reached, space collapsed like broken glass, and time seemed to stop flowing.

The five mountains that were rapidly pressing down were like fragile paper objects in front of the power of this stick.

The huge rocks on the mountain exploded, turned into countless dust, and were instantly swallowed up by the golden light.

The originally indestructible Five Finger Mountain collapsed under this powerful blow and turned into nothingness.

The image of Tathagata Buddha looked at this earth-shattering blow, and for the first time a look of shock appeared on his face.

His eyes, which were as calm as water, were now filled with disbelief and shock.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, trying to mobilize the power of the Pure Land of Buddhism to block the stick, but the golden light was too strong, like a raging torrent, and it directly broke through his defenses.

“How is this possible!”

There was a hint of trembling in Tathagata’s voice. He could not imagine that the stone monkey in front of him could now burst out with such terrifying power.

The golden light was like a bright star, rushing straight towards the six-foot-tall golden body of Tathagata.

On the golden body of Tathagata, Sanskrit runes flashed wildly, trying to resist this fatal blow.

However, in front of Goku’s most powerful stick, everything seemed so powerless.

With a loud bang, the six-foot-tall golden body of Tathagata collapsed in an instant like fragile porcelain.

Golden fragments fell like snowflakes, each fragment emitting a faint light, as if telling the story of past glory and present decline.

Holding the golden cudgel, Wukong stood between the chaotic heaven and earth. His figure appeared incomparably tall under the golden light.

He looked at the collapsed golden body, without any joy in his heart, only endless determination.

soon.

A feeling of powerlessness also arose in Wukong’s heart.

He quickly lost consciousness.

On waking up.

He found himself lying on the Flower-Fruit Mountain, with a familiar figure standing beside him.

That was his master!
Lin Yuan noticed that Wukong had woken up and looked at him:
“Goku, you’re awake.”

Wukong was stunned, recalling everything, and suddenly looked at his hands:

“I’m free again?!”

Lin Yuan nodded:

“Now, you have completely tapped into all your strength. The road ahead is bright.”

“For You”

“You have to go on your own.”

“Wukong, go now. From now on, I will not help you anymore, and you don’t have to look for me anymore.”

immediately.

Lin Yuan’s figure disappeared quietly.

Today’s Goku.

It can be said that he has completely and thoroughly mastered his innate foundation, the talent of the clever stone monkey, and the power of the four seas.

His strength is extremely powerful.

They are no less powerful than the immortals and gods who have liberated the power accumulated from many calamities and reincarnations.

It can be said that he is truly an existence second only to the four Creators.

Want to go further.
Lin Yuan is already difficult to help.

This
It is also the key to truly determining Wukong’s future!
