Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 343: Chapter 343 Heart of Chaos (Second Update)

(PS: After driving for ten hours from Lugu Lake back to Kunming, I’m utterly exhausted and ready to hit the sack. Everyone, look forward to the big burst on the 27th, we’ll be back to three updates tomorrow!)

“Ah!”

The moment he touched the Chaos colored light ring, Six-Eared Macaque let out a cry. A thread of Chaos colored flame emerged from the light ring, climbing up the finger he had touched it with. Six-Eared Macaque felt an intense pain surge from his finger and instinctively severed his flaming right index finger, propelling backwards and steadying himself two yards away, his eyes filled with horror.

The severed finger burned to ashes at a visible rate under the wrap of the Chaos colored flame, and even the ashes ended up reduced to nothingness!

“What kind of flame is that, and why is it so powerful?”

Six-Eared Macaque, heedless of the pain from his severed finger, stared wide-eyed, the shock in his heart utterly indescribable!

Having cultivated in the Nine Nether Demon Cave for over a decade and absorbed a massive amount of Nine Nether Demon Fire, he, like Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and Bull Demon King, had also been able to control the Nine Nether Demon Fire. His resistance to flames was extremely strong. Even against Sun Wukong’s original Great Sun Golden Flames, he held enough confidence to withstand them firmly. But this Chaos colored flame was horrifyingly fearsome, and he couldn’t resist it at all!

The moment the Chaos colored flame had just coiled around his index finger, Six-Eared Macaque felt a severe pain. His finger seemed to be disintegrating, unable to resist the scorching of the Chaos colored flame in the slightest. Had he not reacted quickly to sever his finger, the spread of that Chaos colored flame to his body would have likely reduced his whole being to nothingness!

What in the world was that flame?

“This flame is incredibly powerful!”

Both Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and Bull Demon King were equally startled. Although Mu Chenxuan had sensed the danger, he had not anticipated that the Chaos colored light ring would produce such fearsomely potent Chaos colored flames. With Six-Eared Macaque’s strength, he could not fend it off and had no choice but to sever his finger to protect himself!

Was this power from the heavenly forsaken thunder tribulation that Sun Wukong obtained? It’s too strong, what on earth is it?

The Chaos Fire can create or destroy anything and everything, its power far surpasses that of Chaos Primordial Force. Other than Great God Pangu, who had comprehended it upon his death, before Sun Wukong, only Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, residing in the Thirty-Sixth level of Da Lou Heaven would have mastered it. As such, few knew of the Chaos Fire, and though Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had reached the half-step Demon Saint Realm, even he had never seen, nor seemingly heard of, the Chaos Fire.

“This flame, how strange…”

After destroying half of Six-Eared Macaque’s index finger, the Chaos colored flame didn’t extinguish but continued to burn in the void. Bull Demon King watched the burning Chaos Flames, his eyebrows furrowing. He seemed to recall having seen this type of flame documented somewhere. But where?

Bull Demon King racked his brains. Like Mu Chenxuan, he had never seen the Chaos Fire before, but when it came to the knowledge of all things within the Three Realms, aside from Sun Wukong who came from the same school, few could match him. Back when they were at the Three-Star Cave, he was the one who spent all day in the Scripture Pavilion, reading every book, after which Sun Wukong took his place. This Chaos colored fire, he seemed to have seen it in an ancient text within the Scripture Pavilion of Three-Star Cave Heaven, though he had only caught a brief glimpse of it, and his memory was a bit fuzzy now.

“I remember now! This is the Chaos Fire!”

After thinking hard with a furrowed brow, Bull Demon King finally recalled it. It was the Chaos Fire that could create or obliterate anything and everything, a divine fire!@@novelbin@@

“Chaos Fire?”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan’s eyes suddenly widened. He truly didn’t know what Chaos Fire looked like, having never seen it or heard of it before. But with Bull Demon King mentioning it, he recalled some ancient legends within the Demon Race. One of them concerned the Chaos Fire, a flame that could foster myriad beings, possessing the extremely rare power of creation and destruction. After Great God Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, he couldn’t withstand the backlash and perished. Just before his death, he comprehended the Chaos Fire, which combined with the boundless meritorious deed from the Heavenly Dao led to the creation of the Myriad Races. It’s not at all exaggerated to say the Chaos Fire is the mother of all races!

“Is this really the Chaos Fire? Are you sure, Bull Demon King?”

Swallowing hard, Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan still couldn’t believe it. A divine flame like the Chaos Fire appearing before him, and emanating from the light ring around Sun Wukong? That would mean Sun Wukong had mastered the Chaos Fire?

My God! This is simply unbelievable!

“It should be?”

Bull Demon King scratched his head; he had only caught a brief glimpse of the introduction to Chaos Fire in an ancient tome within the Scripture Pavilion of Three-Star Cave Heaven. It was described very simply, but its performance was very consistent with the description of Chaos Fire in the flames he observed. It must be the Chaos Fire, otherwise, what other flame could have instantly turned the index finger of Six-Eared Macaque to nothingness?

“Is this called Chaos Fire? What a powerful flame!”

Six-Eared Macaque, feeling his newly regrown index finger, still had a face full of lingering fear. After cultivating the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to the Great Accomplishment Realm, he would have extremely strong regenerative abilities, capable of regrowing fingers and even heads. Although he had quickly amputated his burning finger, a trace of the destructive power of Chaos Fire had still entered his body. It took him great effort to expel it and regrow his finger. He had deeply experienced the might of Chaos Fire!

“I really didn’t expect this! Little brother Wukong has actually mastered Chaos Fire!”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan’s gaze towards Sun Wukong had become distinctly different. Possessing the Chaos Fire meant that Sun Wukong had endless potential. In the future, he might even use it to create a world, achieving a supreme status was absolutely not a delusion!

“This must be what the boss obtained from the Heavenly Abandonment Thunder Tribulation!”

Six-Eared Macaque said enviously. Disaster where blessing leans, blessing where disaster lurks; in this world, no fortune or misfortune is absolute. After Sun Wukong obtained ownership of the Donghuang Bell, the Saint Imprint from Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Buddha Spirit Path Trace previously left in his body by Amitabha combined nearly allowed him to prove the Dao through sheer strength, but unfortunately, it was too defying and invoked the envy of Heaven. The Heavenly Dao sent down the Heavenly Abandonment Thunder Tribulation that interrupted his Enlightenment.

Normally, being struck by the Heavenly Abandonment Thunder Tribulation was fatal, especially the Nine Nether Demon Fire within it, which ordinary people couldn’t withstand at all. Even Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Six-Eared Macaque, and Bull Demon King had practiced in the Nine Nether Demon Cave for over a decade and slowly adapted to it after absorbing the strength of Nine Nether Demon Fire. An ordinary person’s first encounter with it was sure doom, but Sun Wukong harbored the Great Sun Golden Flames within him, which by a stroke of fate combined with the Nine Nether Demon Fire and astonishingly formed the Chaos Fire.

Fortune is indeed a mysterious thing, and envy from others is futile.

“It looks like little brother Wukong will continue this way for a while; let’s stand guard here and ensure no one disturbs him,”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan said gravely, looking at the fluctuating chaotic halo outside Sun Wukong. Although Sun Wukong had the Chaos Fire to protect him and likely no one could harm him, it’s always better safe than sorry. If anything unexpected were to interrupt Sun Wukong’s current wondrous cultivation state, how could they face him?

Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King nodded. The three of them positioned themselves in a triangular formation, securely guarding Sun Wukong at the center.

“All disciples, heed my command! Guard the four directions, do not allow anyone to approach; violators will be killed without mercy!”

A gleam passed through Duanmu Bai’s eyes. He had discerned the intentions of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the others. Without waiting for Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan to speak, he immediately ordered the descendants of the Duanmu Clan to encircle the area within a hundred li. Some elite members of the Demon Race who had failed to arrive earlier and wanted to join in on the spectacle were firmly blocked outside the hundred li radius.

All these external affairs were completely unnoticed by Sun Wukong, who had his entire mind immersed in the fusion with the Chaos Fire.

The Nine Nether Demon Fire he had inhaled was almost expended, and not much of the original Great Sun Golden Flames remained either. As the final traces of the two divine fires merged and formed the Chaos Fire, it filled almost his entire body and then violently congregated towards the center of his five organs.

Stream after stream of Chaos Fire surged from all over his body and gathered at the center of his organs, creating a unique space. All the Chaos Fire flowed into this newly formed special space, and in the center of the space, a heart of chaotic hue began to solidify. As more Chaos Fire continued to flow, the chaotic heart became more solid, and its veins started resembling those of a real heart.

Heart of Chaos!

This was a Heart of Chaos formed from the condensation of Chaos Fire!

The special space that housed the Heart of Chaos was the nascent form of a small world within Sun Wukong’s body!

The saying that Chaos Fire gives birth to all beings is not just a mere phrase, nor is it something anyone employing Chaos Fire can achieve. Although Great God Pangu had also realized the Chaos Fire before his death, the incarnation of myriad races was not orchestrated by him but was the result of the Heavenly Dao’s Heaven-Opening Merit merging with the Chaos Fire, stabilizing Ancient Primeval and leading to the birth of myriad races.

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun was able to refine Primeval and reopen the Three Realms because Chaos Fire had formed an independent small world within him, condensing into the Heart of Chaos. With the Heart of Chaos mobilizing the world’s force, he was able to refine and rejuvenate the Three Realms.

Now, Sun Wukong’s body had also formed the nascent form of an independent small world, condensed into the Heart of Chaos. Although this nascent small world was still just a minuscule space and not perfect, it at least signified that Sun Wukong now possessed the potential to equal Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun!
