The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 98: I Promise You


"What kind of divine power is that?"

At the South Heavenly Gate, The Immortal of Colossal Spirit watched the giant ape towering into the sky, trembling uncontrollably.

"It seems to be a Merit Incarnation."

Thousand-mile Eye saw it clearly and explained it plainly, "Transformed by the power of merit."

The power of merit worked wonders on devils.

However, even so, it was still a suffocatingly powerful divine skill.

Underneath the golden giant hand, the Golden Winged Great Peng could hardly move.

He spat up several mouthfuls of blood, finally unable to withstand it. He thought Sun Wukong was just a bit stronger than himself.

But now he realized he was wrong. It turned out he was facing not a rival monster monkey but a terrifying creature.

The bodies of the Six Great Saints of the Demon World had already been pressed into the ground, only their heads and hands remaining above the surface.

"Stop fighting!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng looked at the cave mansion on the brink of collapse, then glanced at the increasingly powerless Demon Saints.

"I surrender, Monkey King, I lost!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng shouted, "The Six Great Saints have nothing to do with this. Let them go, and I will comply with your judgment."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Was the proud Golden Winged Great Peng really conceding?

His murderous intent disappeared.

Sun Wukong withdrew his hand.

With a "boom," the giant ape transformed into countless golden lights that returned to Sun Wukong and vanished.

The earth shook for a while before gradually calming down.

The Six Great Saints of the Demon World struggled free from the ground, supporting themselves on their legs and gasping for breath.

"Sun, Sun Wukong..."

The Bull Demon King's hands were still trembling, "How do you have such divine power?"

Sun Wukong descended to the ground.

"Of course I acquired it through cultivation,"

he replied.

Returning from learning at the Three Star Cave, Sun Wukong had cultivated at Huaguo Mountain for over twenty years, never slacking off.

If he didn't have such abilities, how would he control his fate in the future?

"Do you accept?"

Sun Wukong asked.

He had always considered power as a tool to demonstrate his will, remaining still until he moved to determine the outcome.

This move could make the Six Demon Saints submit.

*Pity that even if they agreed in their hearts, the Six Great Saints of the Demon World had such lofty statuses that they wouldn't admit it aloud.*

Sun Wukong looked at them, then suddenly shook his head.

"Fine then."

He took a deep breath and exhaled lightly.

The wind carrying golden light swept past the Six Demon Saints, stripping their armor clean.

That day, the Demon Saints remembered the long-forgotten legend.

"I yield, I yield!"

The Demon Saints quickly covered themselves and replied.

*If they didn't submit, they would lose all their fur!*

Sun Wukong stopped blowing.

"Don't cause trouble for Huaguo Mountain in the future,"

he said, "Agree to this, and you can leave."

With anger on their faces, the Six Demon Saints had no choice but to agree.

They thanked the Golden Winged Great Peng and then left resentfully.

After traveling a hundred miles, the Bull Demon King suddenly stopped.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

The Demon King of the Sea asked curiously.

The Bull Demon King shook his head, suddenly feeling a bit tired.

Compared to Sun Wukong, he was neither skilled in literature nor martial arts. Finally finding a Golden Winged Great Peng, Sun Wukong had destroyed it with one blow.

*That blow just now really left him in despair. If the heavens gave birth to himself as the Bull Demon King, why create Sun Wukong as well?*

The Bull Demon King couldn't help but sigh.

The five Demon Saints of the Demon World exchanged glances, guessing the Bull Demon King's thoughts.

"Big brother, don't worry," said the Demon King of the Sea, "If we cultivate diligently, we can surely surpass Sun Wukong in the future!"

"Second brother is right!"

The Lion Camel King continued, "Big brother, you have your strengths over Sun Wukong, no need to be discouraged!"

The other Demon Saints chimed in with agreement.

The Bull Demon King felt comforted and gathered his spirits again.

"You are right, esteemed brothers. One failure is nothing,"

he said, "Let's go back and have a good feast. What do you want, esteemed brothers?"

"Big brother's ramen!"

The Demon Saints answered in unison.

The Bull Demon King found himself lost in thought. Could his strength over Sun Wukong be ramen?

On the other side, Sun Wukong had the Golden Winged Great Peng lead him into the cave mansion.

"Go and fetch the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence for me."

He instructed the Golden Winged Great Peng to retrieve the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence while he found the humans captured by the demons.

The humans in the cave mansion were all beautiful women and children, as their flesh was the best.

"You don't need to worry."

Sun Wukong plucked out some monkey hair, turning it into Monkey Spirits, and said, "I will send you back."

The humans knelt in gratitude to him.

Sun Wukong sent them away, then his heart sank.

Although the Golden Winged Great Peng hadn't eaten the humans of the Lion Camel Country yet, he had still committed many sins.

Before long, the Golden Winged Great Peng returned.

"My Flask of Yin and Yang Essence is gone!"

"What?" Sun Wukong was taken aback, "How could it be gone?"

"The thirty-six small demons in charge of guarding the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence have taken it away,"

The Golden Winged Great Peng said, struggling to hide his anger.

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was no ordinary treasure. It required thirty-six people, according to the celestial arrangement, to lift it.

Yet even the Golden Winged Great Peng didn't know when those small demons had carried away the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence.

Sun Wukong's expression turned cold, "Do you think I'm easily deceived?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng trembled all over and quickly offered his respects, "I've already learned of your divine skills, how would I dare deceive you!"

"Even if it's not deception, without the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, you're useless."

Sun Wukong reached for the Golden Winged Great Peng's neck.

Although it was just an ordinary reach, his fingertips contained great divine power, enough to break the Golden Winged Great Peng's neck.

The Golden Winged Great Peng gritted his teeth but did not resist.

Sun Wukong grabbed his neck and lifted him up, "You really have guts."

"I said I'd submit to your judgment, and I won't go back on my word,"

The Golden Winged Great Peng said with difficulty.

Sun Wukong furrowed his brow and then threw the Golden Winged Great Peng against the wall.

The Golden Winged Great Peng clutched his neck, gasped a few times, and asked, "Why don't you kill me?"

"You saved the Six Demon Saints just now, which shows you're not a bad person,"

Sun Wukong said, "If you promise not to eat humans or cause any more mischief in the future, I'll take you to Huaguo Mountain."

The Golden Winged Great Peng was taken aback.

"You still want to take me to Huaguo Mountain?"

"Why, you don't want to go?"

Sun Wukong asked.

The Golden Winged Great Peng looked at Sun Wukong for a long time and then nodded, "I do, but… why me?"

"Your status can protect Huaguo Mountain,"

Sun Wukong replied, "And your divine skills aren't weak."

If it weren't for the Golden Winged Great Peng's status, he would likely have killed him today.

Sun Wukong never cared much for status, but the Golden Winged Great Peng's status was indeed useful.

The Golden Winged Great Peng was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Sun Wukong to speak so frankly.

But such frankness made him feel a slight fondness for Sun Wukong.

"I agree with you,"

The Golden Winged Great Peng said, "As long as I'm at Huaguo Mountain, even Tathāgata will have to get lost!"
