Chapter 632 -633: Clashing Palms, Escaping (3rd Update!)
Om~!
Ran Deng Buddha was focused by the sound wave of the Chaos Bell, his entire body vibrated intensely, and even his skin wrinkled with pain etched on his face. He could no longer maintain his stance and was sent flying out.
The Chaos Bell was indeed one of the two supreme sacred artifacts of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court belonging to Eastern Emperor Taiyi and known for its astonishing defensive and offensive capabilities. Sun Wukong simply preferred close combat on regular days, which didn’t mean he couldn’t use the Chaos Bell.
Now that he had unleashed it, its power was unimaginably immense!
“Damn demon monkey!”
Having stabilized himself, Ran Deng Buddha’s face was contorted with fury. As a Merit Saint at the peak of Slaying One Corpse cultivation, he was being suppressed by a demon monkey who had not yet achieved sainthood — how could he hold his head high in the Three Realms if word of this spread?
“Twenty-Four Heavens!”
With a roar, Ran Deng Buddha activated the Twenty-Four Heavens, and twenty-four spherical world phantoms materialized around him. The power of the worlds surged, forming an energy wall that blocked the sound wave attack of the Chaos Bell and pushed back towards Sun Wukong.
“Twenty-Four Heavens, huh? This bald donkey is really playing for keeps!”
Sun Wukong operated the Chaos Bell to protect himself, his eyes darting around before he turned and flew towards the entrance of the Sukhavati Realm. The power of Ran Deng’s Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds was not easy to deal with. Continuing the fight would only lead to a battle of attrition, and if Tathagata Buddha arrived, it would be difficult to escape.
After all, he had already obtained the Lamp Wick, so it was best to leave first!
“Demon monkey, where do you think you’re running to?”
Seeing Sun Wukong fleeing, Ran Deng Buddha was momentarily stunned, then let out a loud roar and chased after him.
“A race of speed? I’ve never been afraid of anyone!”
Sun Wukong let out a chilly laugh as he fully activated the Streaming Light Escape. In no time, he reached the exit node, where with his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes open, he shot out two beams of golden light that hit the space node, expanding it into a spatial passage which he dived into headfirst.
Ran Deng Buddha arrived shortly after, attempting to rush into the now-diminishing spatial passage. Enraged by its disappearance, he cursed loudly and, after activating the formation to open the spatial passage and chase through, he found no sign of Sun Wukong. Instead, he encountered the Buddha hovering in the void above the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
“Ancestral Buddha, where is the demon monkey?”
Ran Deng Buddha flew into the void, asking Tathagata Buddha.
“He escaped! After a single palm strike against me, he turned into light and vanished.”
Tathagata Buddha’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light glinting within, “This demon monkey’s strength has increased again!”
Although Sun Wukong had hurriedly confronted Tathagata Buddha with a palm strike while escaping, the strength he displayed was almost equal to that of Tathagata Buddha, which was a shock to him. He was now a Merit Saint who had completed the Slaying Three Corpses, and his strength was incomparable to when he had battled in the Heavenly Court. Yet, the rate at which Sun Wukong’s strength had increased seemed even greater!
This demon monkey had grown into a force that cannot be underestimated!
“Indeed, this demon monkey has become stronger!”
Ran Deng Buddha nodded gravely, “And not just by a little! Without the Twenty-Four Heavens, even I would have trouble gaining the upper hand!”
Ran Deng Buddha’s words were somewhat self-flattering; without the world’s power of the Twenty-Four Heavens, he would be overwhelmingly oppressed by Sun Wukong, let alone gaining any advantage!
“Where are Zi Xia and Qing Xia?”
“He’s already been rescued by that Demon Monkey!”
“What?”
Tathagata Buddha’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned extremely ugly in an instant, “Didn’t I ask you to keep a close watch? How could he rescue them right under your eyes? Have all your formations been destroyed?”
“The strange thing is, all the array barriers are intact, yet the water chains that bound those two women were broken!”
The accusatory tone of Tathagata Buddha made Ran Deng Buddha somewhat displeased, but Tathagata Buddha’s current strength could be said to crush him, so Ran Deng Buddha had to swallow his anger back into his belly, speaking with a mix of reluctance and confusion.
“The array barrier is intact, yet the people were rescued?”
A trace of astonishment flashed across Tathagata Buddha’s face, “Come, follow me to have a look!”
The two re-entered the Sukhavati Realm, arriving next to the Heart-Locking Pond. The situation was exactly as Ran Deng Buddha had described, without any exaggeration. There were indeed traces of the array barrier around the Heart-Locking Pond being tampered with, but it had not been broken. Logically speaking, if the formation was not broken, it should not be possible to rescue anyone.
“Indeed, it’s strange. What method did Sun Wukong use to break the water chain seal?”
Tathagata Buddha furrowed his brows, unable to understand, as if running through the scene several times in his mind, but still without any findings. He didn’t have Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Starry Eyes and couldn’t anticipate the strength and direction of the formation’s light beams in advance; naturally, he wouldn’t be able to use the momentum to break the formation with another formation.
At this time, hundreds of miles away from where Spiritual Mountain lay, Sun Wukong descended from the sky on a cloud head, his complexion somewhat pale. While fleeing Spiritual Mountain previously, he had clashed with Tathagata Buddha in haste. Although he managed to escape successfully, his meridians had sustained no small injury.

“Tathagata, this bald donkey’s strength has actually increased so much! Even stronger than the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Merit Saint of Slaying Three Corpses!”
Sun Wukong clutched his chest and coughed lightly twice, then brought out Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy from his Qiankun Bag.
“Wukong, how are you doing?”
Although Zi Xia Fairy was inside the Qiankun Bag, she could still see the outside world very clearly. She had seen the palm strike between Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha, including the current pallor on Sun Wukong’s face.
“It’s nothing, just suffered some minor injuries, I’ll recover after some cultivation!”
Sun Wukong’s mouth curled into a grin, and he pulled out a bottle of elixir wine to drink a big gulp.
“A minor matter? Hmpf! You dared to exchange blows with Tathagata Buddha, and you’re lucky to be alive!”
Qing Xia Fairy watched Sun Wukong with a cold smirk, her tone full of disdain.
Sun Wukong glanced at Qing Xia Fairy, remaining silent. It wasn’t new for her to be displeased with him; out of consideration for Zi Xia Fairy, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Qing Xia.
After circulating his qi and breathing for a while, with the help of the elixir wine, Sun Wukong’s internal injuries healed. He had only sustained a shock, with meridians slightly displaced. With the recovery ability of the Chaos Battle Body, even without the aid of the elixir wine, he would be able to recover, albeit a bit more slowly.
Rising to his full height, Sun Wukong said to Zi Xia Fairy, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to Flower-Fruit Mountain to lift the restrictions on your true forms!”
“Wukong, did you get the Lamp Wick?”
Zi Xia Fairy could indeed see the outside from inside the Qiankun Bag, but Sun Wukong had obtained the conjoined Lamp Wick so quickly that Zi Xia Fairy didn’t catch it clearly.
Similarly, Qing Xia Fairy hadn’t seen it either and showed a face full of surprise at the news.
