Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Barefoot Immortal’s Big Feet (1st Update Today)

When Sun Wukong struck with his staff, Ran Deng Buddha dared not take it lightly and hurriedly summoned his weapon to block the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod.

Clang clang clang clang!

The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod wielded by Sun Wukong spun like a windmill, constantly bombarding Ran Deng Buddha’s weapon, emitting a series of metallic clanging sounds. Ran Deng Buddha felt his wrist holding the weapon tingling from the vibrations and was utterly horrified beyond words.

How long had it been since they last met? How had this demon monkey’s strength increased so drastically? Each strike was as heavy as a mountain; could this really be the strength of a Quasi-Saint?

“Sun Wukong, how dare you!”

The Jade Emperor was completely infuriated. Sun Wukong had dared to ignore his presence and attack Ran Deng Buddha, blatantly disregarding him. He was too arrogant!

“Ran Deng Buddha was right—those not of our kind have different hearts. This demon monkey simply cannot be subdued; the best choice is to eliminate him now!”

A cold murderous intent flashed in the Jade Emperor’s eyes. With a stretch of his hand, the Investiture of the Gods appeared in his left hand, and in the other hand appeared the Hao Tian Sword, symbolizing the authority over the Three Realms.

“Sun Wukong, I command you to cease immediately! Otherwise, you will be charged with treason!”

The Jade Emperor shouted loudly at Sun Wukong, secretly activating the Investiture of the Gods, and sent down orders through the Divine General and Deity’s Divinities in the Investiture of the Gods to completely eradicate Sun Wukong, leaving no survivors!

Through the orders issued by the Investiture of the Gods, any Deity named in the Investiture of the Gods, possessing a Divinity within it, couldn’t refuse. Although they didn’t understand why the Jade Emperor would suddenly issue such an order, these Divine Generals could only obey and took up their weapons to attack Sun Wukong.

“Demon Monkey Sun Wukong, disrespecting sacred edicts, deceiving the supreme ruler, committing grievous treason—the Emperor decrees the eradication of the demon monkey!”

“Kill, eradicate the demon monkey!”

No sooner had the Jade Emperor’s words fallen than Sun Wukong hadn’t even replied when the Divine Generals had already charged forward, shouting loudly. It was clear they intended to forcefully pin the crime of rebellion on him without giving Sun Wukong a chance to respond.

“What a Jade Emperor, what a Heavenly Court—truly the epitome of shamelessness! Today, I, Old Sun, have truly seen it all!”

Sun Wukong certainly wasn’t going to stand idly by. He pushed Ran Deng Buddha back with one staff strike, then turned around and fiercely swept his staff, sending the charging Divine Generals flying. Those closest to him were directly hit by the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and instantly turned to powder, while many other Divine Generals were burned to ash by the Great Sun Golden Flames attached to the staff amid screams of agony.

Sun Wukong stood in the center of the arena, the Ruyi Divine Armor emerging from within his body, his long cape rising without wind as he let out a loud laugh, “Jade Emperor, old fool, you had already conspired with the Buddhist Sect to deal with me, Old Sun. Did you think I didn’t know? I thought you would come up with a smarter excuse, but I overestimated you and underestimated your shamelessness!”

Pausing briefly, a fierce gust of wind suddenly surged around Sun Wukong as the voice of a Nine Nether Demon God boomed from within the whirlwind, “Such a Heavenly Court doesn’t deserve my allegiance! Jade Emperor, you say I’m rebelling? Today, I will show you rebellion! I want to see which of the myriad Immortals and Gods can subdue I, Old Sun!”

With those words, the ferocious wind suddenly spread outward, blasting in all directions and impacting the entire grand hall. Apart from a few highly cultivated and powerful Immortals and Gods such as the Queen Mother, Donghua Emperor, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, the tables and chairs of other immortals were overturned. The unfinished Peaches of Immortality and various fruits were swept up by the strong wind and all caught by Sun Wukong, who pulled them against the wind toward the center and deposited them into a replica Qiankun Bag.

Although these Peaches of Immortality and celestial fruits and wines had been partially consumed, they could still be used to brew the Victory-Ensuring Wine, and should not go to waste!

“All Immortals and Gods, heed my command—rebel Sun Wukong must be executed on the spot!”

A trace of shock crossed the Jade Emperor’s face—things were not going as he had expected!

Originally, he had wanted to provoke Sun Wukong with his words, forcing Sun Wukong to disband the demon ranks of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Knowing Sun Wukong’s character, he would certainly refuse, allowing him to then stand on moral high ground and rally all Immortals and Gods to attack Sun Wukong. He hadn’t expected Ran Deng Buddha, this fool, to provoke trouble upon sitting down, his words straightforwardly angering Sun Wukong. What’s more, he hadn’t anticipated Sun Wukong to be so strong, sending Ran Deng flying with one kick during their earlier scuffle, completely outperforming him and forcing the Jade Emperor to prematurely take action.

All his plans were disrupted!@@novelbin@@

What the Jade Emperor found even more unbearable was the ferocity and power that erupted from Sun Wukong when enraged. It was incredibly strong, far surpassing the limits that a Quasi-Saint could achieve, even stronger than those in the Quasi-Saint Realm!

Previously, when Sun Wukong claimed he had swallowed the thunderclouds of Heavenly Punishment, the Jade Emperor thought he was exaggerating. But now, the Jade Emperor believed him. This demon monkey was truly a freak, the greatest anomaly of all time. Normal reasoning simply didn’t apply to him!

When dealing with Sun Wukong, one simply could not assume conventional wisdom would apply!

At the Jade Emperor’s command, a group of Immortals looked at each other in disarray. Honestly, they did not want to get involved in this matter. Unlike the Deities listed in the Investiture of the Gods, who were directly under the control of the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor, the Immortals, although nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, were only managed to a certain extent. Even if they defied the Jade Emperor’s decrees, he could do little about it, unlike the Deities whose Lifebound Divinities could be destroyed with a mere thought from the Jade Emperor, obliterating the corresponding deity in the process.

“What are you standing around for? Take action now! Do you really want to watch this demon monkey run rampant in my Heavenly Court?”

Seeing the Immortals’ hesitation, the Jade Emperor was enraged. Relying solely on the divine troops and generals of the Heavenly Court to capture Sun Wukong was simply impossible. At most, they could only trap him. Sun Wukong had already reached the cultivation of a half-step Quasi-Saint, his strength even comparable to a Quasi-Saint. The strongest among the divine generals only reached half-step Quasi-Saint. How could such divine generals, no matter how numerous, be a match for Sun Wukong?

To capture Sun Wukong, it was essential for these Immortals to take action, especially those among them who were stronger than Quasi-Saints!

“Very well, let’s capture the Great Sage Equalling Heaven first, then discuss the rest later!”

The Barefoot Immortal sighed, shook his head, and in a blur, moved from the palace to the sky. He then stepped down towards Sun Wukong, and instantly a giant foot directly smashed through the whirlwind raised by Sun Wukong, crushing down towards his head.

With the Barefoot Immortal making his move, the other Immortals hesitated no longer and began to launch their ultimate moves towards Sun Wukong.

“Damn it, it’s the Barefoot Immortal’s big foot attack!”

Sun Wukong had just swept away a few divine generals when he suddenly noticed the whole sky darken dramatically. Looking up, he couldn’t help but shiver—it was the Barefoot Immortal’s giant foot!

The Barefoot Immortal was also at the Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm, but his strength was not comparable to an ordinary half-step Quasi-Saint. It was even comparable to a Quasi-Saint, relying on the prowess of his feet.

The Barefoot Immortal’s foot attacks were extremely powerful, almost reaching the level of divine powers. He could flatten even a high mountain with a single stomp. It was said that with one move from his feet, gods and ghosts would yield. Sun Wukong had not fought the Barefoot Immortal in his past life, but he had heard of the lethality of this move and did not dare to underestimate it. He instantly used the Shrinking Earth into Inches Divine Skill to dash out of the area covered by the giant foot toward the outside of the great hall.

Boom!

A loud bang resounded as the Barefoot Immortal’s foot, scraping the afterimage left by Sun Wukong’s swift movement, fiercely slammed into the midst of the great hall. The entire hall violently shook under this impact, the formation guarding the hall could no longer withstand and burst apart, causing the hall to collapse while the Immortals inside frantically retreated, each flying up into the air.

“Good heavens! Who would have thought that the Barefoot Immortal’s feet were so formidable! But how long has it been since this guy washed his feet? It’s too stinky, almost suffocating!”

Sun Wukong, stopping a few tens of meters away from the hall, was glad he hadn’t tried to resist the Barefoot Immortal’s stomp directly. Otherwise, he could have blocked it, but he wouldn’t have been able to dodge the other Immortals’ attacks and would definitely have been trapped in their encirclement.

What made Sun Wukong even more disgusted was that a foul stench had spread explosively along with the blast, following the Barefoot Immortal’s stamp. He accidentally inhaled it and nearly passed out. It turned out that the most fearsome aspect of the Barefoot Immortal wasn’t the destructive power of his stomp, but the horrid stench that wafted from those feet!

“No way, it’s too stinky. Old Sun can’t fight with this guy!”

Sun Wukong had considered the possibility of turning against the Jade Emperor and battling the various Immortals and Gods. He was prepared for a strategic retreat when he was at a disadvantage, but he hadn’t expected things to come to head so quickly, and certainly not that he would retreat due to the stench from the Barefoot Immortal’s feet!

Mounting his Somersault Cloud, Sun Wukong transformed into a streak of light and flew far away, leaving the stinking range of the Barefoot Immortal’s feet far behind.

“Missed?”

Stamping on empty air, the Barefoot Immortal couldn’t help but utter a surprised sigh. Despite what seemed like a normal stomp, this was his ultimate move, one that had defeated countless monsters. He was usually unbeatable with this attack, and no one had managed to escape from beneath his feet before. It was unexpected that Sun Wukong had so easily dodged it, without even a hair harmed!
