Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Condensing the Great Dao, a Sign of Dao Manifestation (2nd Update)

The Spatial Blades within this spatial storm were so pervasive, they permeated every crevice, densely packed from all directions. Even with Sun Wukong’s abilities, at best he could only block the Spatial Blades attacking from one direction, and had to withstand the rest with sheer resilience.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

The dense sound of blades striking incessantly rang out. The Primordial Force Shield that Sun Wukong had propped up was rapidly depleting under the relentless bombardment of Spatial Blades, growing thinner and thinner until, after enduring for half an incense stick’s time, it finally collapsed completely. At this moment, Sun Wukong had managed to forge less than halfway through the spatial storm.

The Spatial Blades reached the body, striking the Ruyi Divine Armor. Threads of spatial destructive power penetrated through the Ruyi Divine Armor, assaulting Sun Wukong from within, causing him to feel a wave of intense, sharp pain. Even with the protection of the Ruyi Divine Armor, the pain was excruciating. Without the armor’s protection, he would probably have been shredded into powder in an instant!

“Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, Rosy Clouds Drifting!”

“Streaming Light Escape!”

Shocked in his heart, Sun Wukong had no choice but to activate Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations Rosy Clouds Drifting, creating a swirling vortex of rosy light over his body, deflecting all the attacking Spatial Blades, while his form turned into a streak of light, violently dashing forward.

Strangely enough, Streaming Light Escape normally required the Somersault Cloud and Shrinking Earth into Inches divine skills to be combined to be executed. However, the restrictions of the spatial channel were not completely lifted, and he could not use the cloud-riding technique but only the Wind-Riding Technique. Under extreme urgency, Sun Wukong somehow skipped the combination process, directly executing Streaming Light Escape without much sensation himself.

The duration of Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations Rosy Clouds Drifting was only a few breaths, and as it was about to end, Sun Wukong still had a short distance left to cover to reach the other side of the spatial storm. Clenching his teeth, he immediately followed up with Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations White Cloud Smoke, transforming his form into true streaming light and smoke. He moved through the spatial storm without resistance or hindrance, unstruck by Spatial Blades, his speed unexpectedly increased even further.

However, the duration of Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations White Cloud Smoke was even shorter than that of the Rosy Clouds Drifting. When there was only a tiny distance left to the other side of the spatial storm and the White Cloud Smoke’s effect finished, Sun Wukong was completely exposed to the onslaught of the Spatial Blades, and the piercing pain surged to his heart once again.

“Ah~! Get out of the way for your grandpa Sun!”@@novelbin@@

Amid his teeth-gnashing roar, Sun Wukong swung the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod with all his might and charged forward. Finally, he broke out from the spatial storm, weathering the storm of Spatial Blades, and was back to calmness. As his mood relaxed, he felt an ever-increasing pain all over his body, his eyelids grew heavier, and finally unable to bear it, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

The Ruyi Divine Armor was riddled with deep gashes everywhere, some places even showing cracks. This was the Ruyi Divine Armor rated as Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Any other armor would probably have been torn to shreds by the Spatial Blades within the spatial storm.

After Sun Wukong fell unconscious, the Ruyi Divine Armor automatically retracted into his body for recuperation. So many scars had to be properly repaired, otherwise the quality of the Spiritual Treasure would diminish.

After the Ruyi Divine Armor retracted, Sun Wukong’s blood-soaked body was left in just a single shirt. It was tattered in many places, barely different from being naked; fresh wounds densely covered his entire body, composed of extremely fine cuts. The notorious reputation of Spatial Blades being overwhelming was not unfounded; this was despite the protective effect of the Ruyi Divine Armor. Otherwise, Sun Wukong’s body would probably have no good flesh left, and even a Chaotic Divine Body could not withstand such devastation.

The blood that was originally seeping from Sun Wukong’s wounds all stayed on the surface of his body without spreading or dripping. The Chaotic Divine Body’s self-healing ability was originally unrivaled among its peers, especially the Essence Blood, not a single drop would be wasted. Although Sun Wukong had lost consciousness and was not consciously regulating it, the blood flowing from his wounds began to flow back under the spontaneous healing ability of the Chaotic Divine Body. The blood returned to his body from the wounds, and the dense myriad of cuts also began to heal.

In less than half an incense stick’s time, all the blood had reflowed back, and the cuts healed as if never inflicted. If not for Sun Wukong’s shirt full of holes like a beggar’s, no one would believe he had just sustained such severe injuries.

Of course, these were just external injuries, and the Chaotic Divine Body could easily recover from external damage. But internal injuries were not so easily healed.

The Spatial Blades contained terrifying spatial destructive power; space and time are always two of the most difficult forces to understand. Compared to the power of the spatial storm, Sun Wukong’s comprehension of the Space Law was as if comparing a firefly’s glow to the bright moon. Even the Chaotic Divine Body wasn’t truly invulnerable to all laws; it still had certain limits to what it could endure. Fortunately, Sun Wukong was lucky enough to survive this ordeal of the spatial storm.

After breaking through the spatial storm, the immense suction force that was present suddenly vanished without a trace, it seemed the suction was caused by the spatial storm. Sun Wukong continued to float unconsciously in the spatial channel, the Great Dao mark newly emerged between his eyebrows still shining, gradually integrating with the Destruction Great Dao and Space Law inside him, forming his unique Great Dao.

If anyone were beside him, they would undoubtedly feel an immense shock. Such fusion of Great Dao Laws to form one’s own unique Dao normally only occurs in a Half-Step Saint, a hallmark of Proving the Tao and Attaining the Saintly state to become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Yet Sun Wukong, who was merely at the Quasi-Saint Realm, had already begun this step!

“Swoosh!”

Not knowing how much time had passed, suddenly, a light illuminated on the imitation Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist. A stream of light burst forth, revealing the figure of the Dragon Cat.

“What place is this? It looks like a space channel, doesn’t it? But such a large and stable space channel… It must be a channel between two realms, right? How did the boss end up here?”

The Dragon Cat was a classic glutton, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Most of its time was spent sleeping, and only a small portion was for eating. The moments it actually moved could be counted on one’s fingers. When Sun Wukong was besieged by a host of Immortals and Gods, he had thought of summoning the Dragon Cat for help, but that fellow had been sleeping like a log inside the Qiankun Bag and could not be awakened at all. It had been of no help whatsoever. Now that it was hungry and woke up, it crawled out from the Qiankun Bag.

However, the scene before its eyes made the Dragon Cat freeze in shock. Looking around, there was emptiness all around—a massive space channel it was inside. Sun Wukong was unconscious and just floating there; not to mention food, there wasn’t even a ghost’s shadow to see!

“The boss couldn’t be dead, could he?”

This thought flashed through the Dragon Cat’s mind, frightening it into quickly checking on Sun Wukong. The check startled it greatly. Sun Wukong was perfectly fine, without a single wound on his body, and any injuries within had healed automatically during this prolonged coma-like state. At this moment, he was completely immersed in a state of chaos. All the Great Dao Laws on his body were fusing at an astonishing speed. Within his brow’s Niwan Palace, a pillar of the Dao shimmering with golden light was slowly taking shape.

“Damn, the boss is about to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint!”

The Dragon Cat suddenly jumped up, its eyes bulging in disbelief—as if it had seen a ghost. Well, seeing a ghost wouldn’t even compare to this level of shock. The changes occurring in Sun Wukong were clearly the precursor to Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint! However, aside from the fusion of Great Dao Laws, there seemed to be no other changes in Sun Wukong, which was quite different from the standard process of Formation Path to Becoming a Saint.

“Strange, so strange, truly strange. Isn’t one supposed to Cultivate Merit to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint, using Merit Force to break through the encirclement of the Heavenly Dao to acquire a Saintly position and Condense their own Great Dao? The boss hasn’t Cultivated Merit or breached the Heavenly Dao’s encirclement to obtain a Saintly position; how could he start Condensing his own Great Dao already?”

The Dragon Cat felt that its mind was overwhelmed. The situation with Sun Wukong was beyond its understanding. As a Divine Beast with inherited memories, it was already considered to have seen more and be more knowledgeable than most races in the Three Realms today, but even for the Dragon Cat, this was the first time it had witnessed such a phenomenon.

Rotating around Sun Wukong for a good while and still unable to discern the reason, the Dragon Cat gave up. Its boss was an oddity, always different from others. It was not too strange that something bizarre was happening to him. Besides, Condensing the Great Dao ahead of time was likely not a bad thing. It could always ask Sun Wukong when he awoke.

Unclear about Sun Wukong’s current state, the Dragon Cat did not dare to rashly attempt to awaken him. This premature Great Dao Condensation could be considered an extremely rare opportunity. If it were to be interrupted, Sun Wukong would definitely flay him alive once he awoke!

So the Dragon Cat served as Sun Wukong’s guard, watching over him. Time drifted slowly in the space channel, impossible to keep track of. The Dragon Cat could not recall how long it had waited, only feeling its stomach growling with hunger, almost to the point of collapsing.

“I’m so hungry. Why isn’t the boss waking up?”

The Dragon Cat, being a glutton, had its fastest means of enhancing Cultivation Strength through eating and sleeping. But without being full, it couldn’t fall asleep. There was nothing in this space channel, let alone food, forcing the Dragon Cat to rub its belly and gaze hopeslessly at Sun Wukong, waiting for him to wake up.

“Boss, if you don’t wake up soon, I’ll have to search for food inside the Qiankun Bag. If something goes wrong, you can’t blame me!”

The space within the imitation Qiankun Bag was vast and also divided into different sections. The Dragon Cat had always stayed in a small space, similar to that of a Spiritual Beast Bag, with nothing but spiritual energy inside. The Peaches of Immortality and Immortal Fruits collected by Sun Wukong inside the Qiankun Bag were stored in other sections, inaccessible to the Dragon Cat.
