The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 252: This is the Wanling Map


As soon as the Heavenly Rules disappeared, the dazzling light of the spell instantly shredded the floating clouds.

Immortals and Buddhas charged toward the Light Tree like raindrops.

Nobody held back this time, the Jade Emperor wielded the Tribulation Sword, and the Buddha utilized the Hand Seal.

*Sun Wukong must be stopped immediately!*

This strike was grand and unprecedented in its power.

Facing the resurging enemies, the immortals of Wanling Country looked solemn, yet no one stepped back.

Everyone used their strongest magical treasures and spells in an attempt to halt the assault.

The shouting and killing Immortals and Buddha Soldiers arrived in an instant, and the overwhelming spells formed a violent storm intending to burn everything to ashes.

Despite the Wanling Country Immortals' full resistance, the dazzling light of various spells still broke through the defense line, rushing toward Sun Wukong's position.

Sun Wukong, in the Light Tree, remained unmoved, not even lifting an eyelid.

With his eyes closed, as he embraced Harmonization, layer upon layer of spiral text surrounded him, forming a perfect defense.

Amidst the tremendous roar, the glowing text transformed into one barrier after another, effortlessly blocking the boundless spells.

Tens of thousands of beams scattered and exploded in the storm, sending all charging Immortals and Buddha Soldiers flying.

No Immortal was spared.

In that moment, the celestials felt the storm tearing around Sun Wukong and perceived themselves being ripped apart.

They flailed like dry leaves in the hurricane, spiraling and crashing to the ground, shattering buildings into debris.

"What is that!"

The Immortals stood up from the ruins, looking at Sun Wukong at the center of the swirling text, unable to conceal their amazement.

The shining text emanating from Sun Wukong all carried a lightning-like brilliance, filling the vast surrounding space like scattered stars.

That was the myriad of text runes, shooting out at the moment the spell fell.

The Jade Emperor's Tribulation Sword intertwined with the text, and at this moment, the sky turned into a storm of light, like an unprecedented gigantic firework explosion.

The terrifying aura of the Tribulation Sword was suppressed, collapsing with a touch from the text.

The Buddha's Hand Seal crumbled inch by inch under the segmentation of the text, beginning to disintegrate.

The text transformed into terrifying creatures that shattered and swept away everything in the sky, leaving nothing behind.

The confrontation of the three Heavenly Venerates scattered shock waves that swept across, causing even the shield protecting Wanling City residents to tremble unceasingly, its light flickering as if it might shatter at any moment.

"This Immortal Law is so overbearing!"

*The Buddha thought to himself.*

"Keep going, see how long he can hold."

The Jade Emperor said coldly.

The Immortals and Buddhas realized their attack was ineffective, yet they did not stop but became even more fierce instead.

In an instant, the battle cries shook the heavens, the light from the clash of spells shrouded the sky, and the roaring sound was endless.

The dazzling text light formed a larger shield, protecting Sun Wukong within.

A large mass of aggressive, swarming enemies was all sent flying.

Sun Wukong's will swiftly swept through vast space and infinite time.

This was the world of text and Immortal Dao.

He tried to organize those texts and make them orderly, but he still couldn't form the Wanling Immortal Path.

*"Just a little more,"*

Sun Wukong thought quickly, *"What am I forgetting?"*

He realized there was a crucial piece he hadn't found.

Where? Where was it?

Sun Wukong's will spread to the West Sea.

A golden whale swam across the sea surface.

"Will there be delicious food in the sky?"

The whale occasionally glanced toward the sky.

Sun Wukong saw its eyes filled with wisdom.

This whale had become a spirit.

"Ah... so that's it..."

Sun Wukong suddenly understood he had gone wrong.

He had transformed the Immortal Dao into spells, then into text, merely a reconstruction of the existing system.

The true Wanling Immortal Path should be filled with inclusiveness, encompassing the words he had discarded.

He needed to find the root from all possibilities to create a new Heavenly Dao.

"Rethink it."

Sun Wukong turned his mind around, imprinting the text from the whale's body into his heart.

The high-altitude wind was torn violently and chaotically, emitting sharp and mournful howls.

Heavy True Words, intense flames, swift lightning, sharp sword light...

Regardless of the attack, it was like a moth to a flame, blocked by the golden text around Sun Wukong, colliding into brilliant light before vanishing without a trace.

This grand scene, like the end of the world, instead spawned an ultimate and pure beauty.

Those golden texts, both real and illusory, flickering and mysterious, seemed to have no attack capability but each actually had the power to rival the heavens.

The immortals of Wanling City were all stunned.

"This..."

Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but ask, "Do we even need to help?"

The other Immortals nodded one after another.

Sun Wukong was still in Harmonization, his true form hadn't made a move, and yet the Immortals and Buddhas couldn't even come an inch closer.

The new Heavenly Dao wasn't formed yet, but its power was already so terrifying.

The Jade Emperor looked at Sun Wukong, and the golden texts around him multiplied and brightened.

Everywhere the eye could see, the sky was filled with layers of spiraling text, forming successive shields of unknown size.

The shields gradually extended outward, filling the entire world with golden light and text.

The Jade Emperor and Buddha both felt an increasingly strong sense of oppression.

Heavenly Dao was not something that those within could resist.

Not even as powerful as the Jade Emperor and Tathāgata could manage.

*If they did not stop him now, it would soon be too late.*

"Buddha!"

The Jade Emperor gripped his sword and resolutely charged at Sun Wukong.

The Tathāgata's Hand Seal suddenly enlarged, countless golden True Words flashing brilliantly.

Both attacked Sun Wukong with force surpassing the spells of all the Immortals and Buddhas.

Countless golden texts stood in front, yet they were continuously compressed by the two, rapidly approaching Sun Wukong.

But, they were still too late!

In that infinite time, Sun Wukong's thoughts had already traversed an extended period.

Countless texts, endless Immortal Laws, absorption, understanding, prediction... ultimately transformed into a mundane Talismanic Map.

The simplest Tao, devoid of any text, yet contained all unseen wisdom.

"This is it..."

Sun Wukong knew what he was pursuing lay within this map.

Like the Innate Eight Diagram, although the map was his deduction, the possibilities it produced transcended his imagination.

This map was merely a key, a method of calculation.

It was not yet perfect, but endless causes and countless possibilities had already blossomed from it.

"This is the Wanling Map."

Finally, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, an indescribable pressure instantly spread across the sky.

The golden texts exploded with dazzling light, sweeping away all spells like the wind sweeping fallen leaves, scouring the entire sky.

Sun Wukong hadn't even moved, yet the Immortals and Buddhas scattered by this mighty pressure were already unstable.

The assaults of the Jade Emperor and the Tathāgata faltered as well.

All Immortals and Buddhas showed shock in their eyes.

*Had the Wanling Immortal Path been completed?*
