Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 368: Chapter 368 How to Break It (First Update)

“`

“Demon Ancestor, I have a question I want to ask you!”

Sun Wukong looked at Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, hesitant to speak, but in the end, he couldn’t help but blurt it out.

“You have a question for me? What is it, go ahead and ask. However, I can’t guarantee I’ll definitely answer!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu raised his eyebrows in surprise. What could this little monkey possibly have to ask him?

“The power you used earlier to break my innate divine ability, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, what was it?”

Ever since his rebirth and the awakening of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye, Sun Wukong had never been at a disadvantage in terms of pupil skills, and there had been nobody capable of even guessing the true capabilities of his Void-Breaking Divine Eye, let alone breaking the skill, especially when the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes were in their fourth phase, a state of astonishing power. Among all the experts Sun Wukong had encountered, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was the first to have broken it!

If this matter wasn’t clarified, Sun Wukong would feel as uncomfortable as if scratched by cat’s paws and dog’s claws!

“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes? Are you referring to the pupil skill that spied on me?”

Recalling the incident, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu remembered that he had felt a sense of being watched when he awoke from his slumber and seized the physical body of Jidu Demon Emperor. It seemed as if he was under the scrutiny of some pupil skill, but he wasn’t certain where it was coming from. Therefore, he simply harnessed the power of the Primordial of the Grand Dao to scatter it. He hadn’t expected it to have been Sun Wukong who executed that pupil skill!

Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, how interesting!

“Exactly! I want to know how you detected it and how you broke it!”

When the Void-Breaking Divine Eye was used, it was invariably formless and invisible. Even when it progressed to the Fourth Phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes state, there were usually nothing more than heavy pupils and specks of starlight in Sun Wukong’s eyes. How had Demon Ancestor Luo Hu detected it? And how had he broken it?

“How I detected it? That’s something I can’t explain clearly, and even if I did, you wouldn’t understand it right now. Perhaps one day when you too prove the Tao and become a saint, you’ll be able to comprehend it on your own.”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu shook his head lightly, “As for how I broke it, well, to put it simply, it’s both simple and complicated. All I did was harness the Law Power of the Great Dao to form a barrier around myself. Your pupil skill, no matter how formidable, cannot compare to the Great Dao Laws’ Primordial Power, and it’s not surprising that it was broken!”

“I see!”

Sun Wukong suddenly understood. He had thought as much; the Void-Breaking Divine Eye had always been invincible, how could it have been so easily broken? It turned out that it had encountered the Primordial Power of the Great Dao Laws!

Divine Skills naturally manifest the Great Dao Laws’ Primordial Power, especially innate divine abilities, which are a highly advanced application of the Primordial Power. However, this kind of application typically relies on bloodline power, and others, even if they understand the principle, find it difficult to execute.

The Void Law was embodied within Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Starry Eyes as well as several other Law Powers whose names Sun Wukong himself couldn’t even pronounce. Ordinarily, nothing could withstand them. Yet, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was different. As a powerhouse who had Slay the Three Corpses to Merge with the Dao and Become a Saint, calling upon the Primordial Power of the Great Dao Laws was a mere thought for him. The barrier he formed was mighty. Sun Wukong at that time was seriously injured and at his weakest, barely managing to use Void-Breaking Starry Eyes. Naturally, he couldn’t break through the barrier formed by the Primordial Power of the Great Dao Laws, and it was no wonder that his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes were counteracted and broken.

“Young Sun, I’ve answered one of your questions, shouldn’t you also answer one of mine?”

“`

A strange glint flashed in the eyes of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu as he looked at Sun Wukong, his gaze becoming somewhat peculiar and making Wukong’s scalp tingle as if Luo Hu had seen right through him.

“What’s the problem?”@@novelbin@@

Sun Wukong’s brows furrowed slightly. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu actually had a question for him! What kind of question was so serious?

“It’s about your physique!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu pointed a finger towards Sun Wukong and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you lad must be the legendary Chaotic Divine Body, right?”

“Hiss~!”

As soon as Demon Ancestor Luo Hu spoke, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. No one had ever been able to discern his advancement to the Chaotic Divine Body, and very few could see through his original Heavenly Demon Body. Was Demon Ancestor Luo Hu too formidable? In such a short time, he had seen through his physique!

“It seems I am not wrong; you really are a Chaotic Divine Body!”

Although Sun Wukong did not respond, his facial expression had already said it all. Luo Hu’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Wukong as if he were looking at a rare treasure, “Chaotic Divine Body, a physique legend says only Pangu, who proved the Tao with strength at the beginning of Chaos, possessed. I didn’t expect a second one to appear in the Three Realms today. Not bad, you lad, not bad at all!”

“Demon Ancestor, you flatter me!”

There was not a trace of complacency on Sun Wukong’s face. Although the Chaotic Divine Body was indeed his reliance and extremely rare, it had been seen through by Luo Hu in just a glance—the Demon Ancestor was truly unfathomable!

“This Ancestor does not praise someone lightly, unless they deserve it! Lad Sun, there’s no need for modesty. Your physique is indeed rare throughout the ages, but what I value about you is not just this!”

What did Demon Ancestor Luo Hu see in him to value him so? There seemed to be no reason for much interaction between himself and Luo Hu!

As these thoughts went through Wukong’s mind, Luo Hu’s aura suddenly surged, and the Myriad Demons Domain expanded from his body, enveloping Wukong along with a hundred miles around them.

Unlike the Myriad Demons Domain used by the Jidu Demon Emperor previously, the one activated by Luo Hu was larger and more natural, as if it came to life with just a flicker of thought. Wukong suddenly felt a heavy weight upon him, as if the entire sky was pressing down, heavier even than the Mount Wuzhi pressed by Tathagata Buddha in his former life. He was shocked and wondered, what did Luo Hu intend to do?

“Heaven-Breaking Domain!”

Instinctively, Sun Wukong summoned the full power of his Heaven-Breaking Domain. A circle of domain spread forth from the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, but it only expanded a few yards around him, barely enveloping his entire body and slightly relieving the heavy pressure. The previously sluggish Chaos Primordial Force inside of him began to flow again.

“A Domain Embryo, almost reaching the master level! Lad Sun, you are indeed impressive!”

The eyes of the Jidu Demon Emperor brightened as Sun Wukong’s Heaven-Breaking Domain was able to be deployed under the influence of his Myriad Demons Domain, offsetting some of its pressure. This indicated that Sun Wukong’s mastery of the Heaven-Breaking Domain was infinitely close to the third-level master phase!
