The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 251: The Last Chance


The Buddha Country and the Immortal Country marked the sky with clearly demarcated ends.

The Buddha Light and the Immortal Light echoed each other, overlaying a halo around Ao Luan.

The Princess of the East Sea floated in midair, silently watching as Sun Wukong bit into the Jade Seal piece by piece.

No one could stop him.

"Immortal Fairy."

The Water Virtues Star Monarch asked Ao Luan, "Was this the Great Saint's original plan?"

"No, elder brother would not do this."

Ao Luan watched Sun Wukong and answered.

She knew that Sun Wukong would not make such a decision lightly, to transform himself into the vessel for the Wanling Immortal Path must have involved great risk.

"Then why..."

The Water Virtues Star Monarch slightly furrowed his brow, "Why does the Great Saint want to turn himself into a vessel?"

"Because he's accustomed to it."

Ao Luan bit her lip.

The Water Virtues Star Monarch looked over: "Accustomed to what?"

"Elder brother is used to relying on himself for everything."

Ao Luan understood Sun Wukong all too well.

It's precisely because she understood him that she knew what he intended to do the moment he bit off the Jade Seal.

At any time, Sun Wukong's trump card was himself, those who do not understand this cannot grasp how he made it this far.

In front of everyone's eyes, Sun Wukong swallowed the entire Jade Seal.

Many people's eyeballs almost popped out of their heads.

Sun Wukong became more terrifying in their eyes.

The next moment, pitch-black flames ignited from Sun Wukong's body.

Everyone subconsciously took a step back.

The flames burning on Sun Wukong were identical to those that destroyed the Wanling Tree, but they had diminished a lot and posed little threat to Sun Wukong.

He cast spells to expel the black flames, one after another golden spark appeared around him, exploding and then gradually spreading, swallowing up the black flames.

As the black flames disappeared, a brilliant light burst forth from Sun Wukong.

That beam of light, pierced through the sky.

"From today on, I shall carve a path for Wanling!"

Accompanied by a voice as clear as a bell.

The vision of both Immortals and Buddhas was enveloped and stripped of color by the golden light.

The Jade Emperor squinted to look over, Sun Wukong soared high, with strange characters dancing in the shining light around him, revealing his hidden aura without reservation.

"The Wanling Immortal Path."

A sinking feeling in his heart.

That light illuminated all directions and converged into a shining, continuous river, forming a huge Light Tree connecting heaven and earth.

Compared to the previous Wanling Tree, this Light Tree was vague, seemingly there yet untouchable by anyone.

The intangible roots penetrated the earth, connecting with the Ling Network of the Wanling Country, visible light flowing within its trunk.

There was no doubt, this was the Wanling Immortal Path.

Sun Wukong was harmonizing his body with the path.

He floated amidst the glowing trunk, with characters swirling vortex-like around his body.

The essence of the Immortal Dao filled the heavens and the earth like tender buds of spring, brimming with vibrant life.

The Jade Emperor sensed a crisis.

Slow, heavy heartbeats emanated from the Light Tree.

The sound, like a hammer pounding a drum, beat upon everyone's hearts.

This was the new Heavenly Dao.

It was already beginning to hatch.

"Buddha."

The Jade Emperor looked to the Buddha.

The Buddha slightly nodded, "The matters of this place are yet to cease."

Both had planned meticulously, but had not anticipated Sun Wukong's resolute action.

Now, they could only attempt to prevent it one more time.

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha acted simultaneously, with light rising from their bodies, transforming into two intertwining flames flying towards Sun Wukong.

"Heavenly Venerate Seal!"

Seeing this, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was shocked to the core.

Without a doubt, the two Seals flying out meant the Jade Emperor and the Buddha hoped to jointly shield the Heavenly Rules again to prevent the formation of the Wanling Immortal Path.

"Buddha."

A figure stood amidst the clouds, fearlessly facing the Buddha as large as a mountain.

Elder Jin Chan clasped his hands together and asked, "Why must we make an enemy of the Great Saint?"

"I am not making an enemy of him, Jin Chanzi."

Buddha responded, "Sun Wukong acts rashly. If one possesses the Immortal Law without the Immortal mindset, it is greatly harmful to the Three Realms."

"The Immortal mindset is also attained through cultivation."

Elder Jin Chanzi advised, "Buddha, the Wanling Immortal Path is also a path of cultivation, moreover..."

"Moreover?"

Buddha asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Moreover..."

Jin Chanzi looked up and said, "This humble monk believes that the Great Saint will surely manage the Immortal Dao well."

Buddha's brow furrowed slightly.

"Do you trust Sun Wukong more than our great teaching?"

"This humble monk trusts both."

Elder Jin Chanzi replied, "The Great Saint has Buddha's Heart and also a connection to Buddhism. Buddha needs only to patiently wait, and will ultimately find a point of connection with him and the rest of us."

"A point of connection?"

Buddha looked towards the other end of the horizon.

"Jin Chanzi."

He said, "It is precisely because I seek a point of connection that I must eliminate the Wanling Immortal Path."

If the Wanling Immortal Path is not eradicated, the opportunity for Sun Wukong to connect with Buddhism will be like the horizon, visible but unattainable.

"Jade Emperor."

Buddha called upon Jade Emperor.

The two joined hands, and two Jade Seals suddenly emitted myriad rays of light, suppressing Sun Wukong's direction.

The boundless Immortals and Buddha Soldiers once again set up their formation, taking over the entire sky.

They could not act now, only waiting for the disappearance of the Heavenly Rules.

The Immortals of Wanling Country felt this crisis and also set up their formation in front of the Light Tree.

"Why won't they just leave the Great King alone!"

Lady Rakshasa was anxiously pacing on the ground.

The Great Emperor Zhen Wu flew over from the distance.

"Daji, you and I will go protect the Great Saint."

Great Emperor Zhen Wu said.

Daji blinked, "Me?"

"I have just seen your power."

Great Emperor Zhen Wu answered, "You will be helpful on the battlefield."

"No, no!"

Daji waved her hand, "I don't know how to fight!"

She did not want to avoid protecting Sun Wukong, but facing so many Immortals, she would only be a burden.

"I can control fewer Immortals than an Immortal can with a flick of his sleeve."

Daji said.

Great Emperor Zhen Wu frowned slightly.

"If that's the case, let me go!"

A voice sounded.

Great Emperor Zhen Wu turned his head and saw Sweeping Star flying over.

"I can help."

Sweeping Star said.

She had been here for a few years, no one had forced her to fight, but now that things had come to this, she could not just stand by and watch.

"Very well, you will accompany me."

Great Emperor Zhen Wu nodded and took Sweeping Star with him to join the battlefield.

What they were guarding was the last hope of Wanling Country.

The Jade Seal of the Jade Emperor and Buddha successfully stirred Sun Wukong, who was in the midst of Harmonization.

Thousands of characters flew out from the Light Tree, at first one by one, soon more and more characters spinning together, forming a stream around the tree.

"Jade Emperor, Buddha, why must you be so aggressive?"

The voice of Sun Wukong came from the Light Tree.

"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Right after, both Jade Emperor and Buddha realized that the Heavenly Rules began to blur.

This time, Sun Wukong actively cooperated with them.

Both frowned slightly.

But they would not miss this last chance to stop the Wanling Immortal Path.
