Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Waiting Until the Last Moment (1st Update)

Nezha’s Immortal Primordial Force had depleted considerably, and the biggest consumption came from firing the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear to blast open the net of thunder and lightning. It wouldn’t be possible to subdue this Fierce Flame Long Spear without enough support from the Immortal Primordial Force.

The timely arrival of Sun Wukong’s Victorious Fighting Brew was perfect for Nezha, who didn’t hesitate to open his mouth and catch the liquor. After swallowing it, the medicinal power quickly spread through his limbs and body, transforming into surging Immortal Force to replenish his drained meridians.

“Wukong, thank you!”

“Don’t talk, focus on subduing the Divine Weapon!”

Sun Wukong cut off Nezha’s words of gratitude with a stern voice. Nezha nodded and concentrated all his effort on channeling the Immortal Primordial Force into the Fierce Flame Long Spear, while also infusing it with his own Essence Blood. Such a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure deserved the use of the Blood Sacrifice Technique.

“Roar~!”

The dragon-shaped Dao Patterns on the Fierce Flame Long Spear twisted and turned, desperately resisting the erosion of Nezha’s Immortal Force and Essence Blood. The flame burning on the spear’s body grew hotter, but Nezha clenched his teeth and bore it, gripping the spear firmly and infusing his Immortal Force and Essence Blood into it bit by bit.

Gradually, the resistance of the Fierce Flame Long Spear began to weaken, the struggle of the dragon-shaped Dao Patterns subsided, and the dragon’s mouth at the spearhead, having swallowed the Fire-tipped Spear, also became quiet, no longer showing any signs of life.

“It’s done!”

Nezha’s closed eyes suddenly opened, a sharp light flashing through them. The blazing fire on the Fierce Flame Long Spear abruptly retracted into the body of the spear, which then appeared simple and unremarkable. However, the dragon-shaped Dao Patterns and the dragon’s mouth at the spearhead still reflected the extraordinariness of this long spear.

“Congratulations, Nezha! What’s the name of this Divine Weapon?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with a bright light as he congratulated Nezha. The Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure had been completely subdued by Nezha. Although his hands were nearly broiled, the reward was worthwhile. The burns on his hands would heal after some rest. With such a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Nezha could now use it as a foundation to comprehend Domain Power.

“Crimson Flame Dragon Spear! A Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of swallowing all weapons of lower rank, carries the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that can annihilate all things, and includes an Ultimate Move called the Crimson Flaming Dragon Rise Strike. Its power is not yet completely clear.”

Nezha did not hold back and shared all of the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear’s properties with Sun Wukong, whose eyes lit up. Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes flashed with envy. A Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon was rare enough, and this Crimson Flame Dragon Spear even contained Red Lotus Fiery Flame and a special spear technique, making it truly the cream of the crop among Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapons. If not for Sun Wukong’s own Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, he might also be envious of Nezha.

“Big Brother Yang, we still have time. Your Divine Weapon will definitely appear!”

After comforting Erlang God Yang Jian for a bit, Nezha stored the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear within himself and sat down cross-legged to cultivate and recover. His hands had been severely injured by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire on the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear, and he must quickly drive out the remnant destructive power of the Karmic Fire to avoid impacting his future cultivation.

Although Erlang God Yang Jian was quite envious of Nezha, it was just envy and not the slightest bit of jealousy. There was no need for jealousy, as there was still more than half a month left before the one-month deadline, and the Spacetime Black Hole would appear for ten days in total, with seven full days remaining. He couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t obtain his desired Divine Weapon within seven days!

Sun Wukong was also unhurried; his primary purpose for entering the Ascend to Heaven Platform was for cultivation, with treasures being secondary. After all, he already possessed quite a few treasures, including the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, the Sword of Annihilation, and the Sword of Trapping Immortals, all of which were Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. The Chaos Divine Pearl had even reached the level of a Superb Innate Spiritual Treasure after years of nurturance. When it comes to Magical Treasures, quality matters more than quantity, otherwise, Tathagata Buddha wouldn’t have been swept away by the Wind-Fire Futon of The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord when he was known as Daoist Multi-Treasure.

Of course, if he truly encountered a treasure that suited his fancy, Sun Wukong would not let it pass. Ordinary treasures, however, were not worth his time as his standards were quite high!

Meditating quietly, another five days passed. Various treasures occasionally flashed through the Spacetime Black Hole, including weapons, armor, and items for other purposes, but Sun Wukong and Erlang God Yang Jian didn’t make a move, considering the grades of these objects too low to catch their eyes.

Sun Wukong was only interested in Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, whereas Erlang God Yang Jian yearned for a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon. Choosing treasures at random would leave no energy to acquire others, and missing out on a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon would be devastating to Yang Jian!

With just a day and a half remaining, Erlang God Yang Jian was becoming impatient. Sun Wukong, on the other hand, remained indifferent. Obtaining a treasure would naturally be good, but even without one, it wouldn’t matter. The vast Immortal Spirit Qi on the Ascend to Heaven Platform could help him absorb the Ancestral Witch’s Essence Blood and break through to the threshold of the Quasi-Saint Realm in the shortest time. This would be the greatest gain of his trip!

Swish!

Another treasure flew out from the Spacetime Black Hole, a Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure-level Long Saber. Erlang God Yang Jian couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up, teeth clenched, ready to leap into the Spacetime Black Hole, but Sun Wukong grabbed his arm.

“Yang Jian, don’t be rash!”

Sun Wukong shook his head at Erlang God Yang Jian, “This Long Saber is of too low a grade for you!”

Sun Wukong understood Erlang God Yang Jian’s intentions perfectly. His heart longed for a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon to use as a foundation for comprehending Domain Power. Although the Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Long Saber could also serve as a foundation for comprehending Domain Power, the strength of the domain it could support would surely be inferior to that of a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon. To make it his Lifebound Divine Weapon would be a huge loss indeed, as one can only have one Lifebound Divine Weapon. Even if Yang Jian obtained a better Divine Weapon in the future, he would not be able to refine it into his Lifebound Divine Weapon!

“Sun Wukong, let me go!”

Erlang God Yang Jian furrowed his brow, time was running out, and he had no choice left!

“It’s not over until it’s over, don’t give up so easily!”

Sun Wukong still shook his head, he considered Erlang God Yang Jian a brother with whom he could share wealth and adversity in the future, so naturally, he could not stand by and watch him make a decision he would regret for life out of impetuousness.

During this short period, the medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure long saber had already vanished within the Spacetime Black Hole, a flash of anger surged in Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes, and he fiercely shook off Sun Wukong’s hand, roaring low, “Sun Wukong, are you afraid that I’ll surpass you after obtaining a superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon and mastering Domain Power?”

“Afraid of you surpassing me? I, Old Sun, have never thought that way!”

Sun Wukong was taken aback.

“Then why do you obstruct me?”

Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes twitched with rage, veins on his forehead bulged visibly due to anger.

“Yang Jian, I ask you, are you truly satisfied with that medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure’s long saber? Will you make it your Lifebound Divine Weapon?”

Sun Wukong’s brow also furrowed, his expression growing stern as he asked in a serious tone.

“I…”

Erlang God Yang Jian was somewhat at a loss for words; of course, he wasn’t satisfied with a medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Weapon, but there was no time left for him to choose. Was he going to leave the Ascend to Heaven Platform empty-handed this time?

“Since you’re not satisfied, then just wait and see! How do you know that a suitable superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon won’t appear if until the last moment?”

Sun Wukong waved his hand, “If there’s still nothing suitable by the last moment, I, Old Sun, will take responsibility to find one for you!”

“Sun Wukong, are you serious? You’re not trying to deceive me?”

Erlang God Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong with some surprise, as if seeing him for the first time. A superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapon was not something easily obtainable, and one that suited Erlang God Yang Jian no less, it was unimaginably difficult! Even if he could get one, would Sun Wukong be willing to part with it for his sake?

“I, Old Sun, have always been true to my word, the promises I make never go unkept!”

Sun Wukong stood tall and proclaimed loudly; when it came to friends, he never resorted to lies and deceit, always keeping his promises. But when dealing with enemies, any means were fair game, no sense of guilt or burden necessary.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you this time, consider it a favor I owe you, Yang Jian!”

Erlang God Yang Jian sighed, since Sun Wukong had put it that way, any more hesitance would seem petty. Well then, he might as well wait and see. Perhaps a Divine Weapon to his liking would indeed appear.

Another half-day passed by, and several Magical Treasures flickered through the Spacetime Black Hole, yet none suited Erlang God Yang Jian, even the medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Long Saber was better. Sun Wukong began to frown, was he really going to have to find a superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure long saber for Erlang God Yang Jian? This would be troublesome!

“Huh? What’s that?”@@novelbin@@

The Spacetime Black Hole began to tremble, signaling its imminent closure. Just as Sun Wukong and Erlang God Yang Jian felt their spirits waning, suddenly Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Starry Eyes spotted a streak of purple light skating past the edge of the Spacetime Black Hole, causing his eyes to shine brightly. It was a semi-transparent purple Great Halberd, and the aura it emitted was without a doubt that of a superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

“Yang Jian, your Divine Weapon has arrived!”

Without a moment to spare, Sun Wukong laughed heartily, leapt into the air toward the edge of the Spacetime Black Hole, and the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod appeared in his hand. With a command of “Grow,” the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod suddenly extended straight into the Spacetime Black Hole, reaching for the purple Great Halberd, “Leave it for Old Sun!”

Boom!

Thunder suddenly burst forth as black thunder surged at the edge of the Spacetime Black Hole, hammering towards Sun Wukong. Being too close to the edge, and as the Spacetime Black Hole began to collapse, the black thunder was wildly unstable. Sensing Sun Wukong’s approach, it launched an explosive attack.
