Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 727 - 728: Rebuilding the Heaven Realm (4th Update!)

Sun Wukong took a deep breath and began to mobilize the merit and destiny within the statue. His body left the ground and flew up above the statue, to a position level with Flower-Fruit Mountain’s nine Dragon Veins, drawing forth the merit and destiny to form a massive array that shot fiercely towards the vault of heaven above.

Hum~!

After the array took flight, it rapidly expanded, eventually enveloping the entire range of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Amidst the thunderous roars, the previously fixed height of Flower-Fruit Mountain began to rise again, flying toward the vault of heaven above and swirling with strands of space law power—a sign that a new realm was being carved out.

The Heavenly Court, floating above the Nine Heavens, was supposed to be a realm of its own. During the Ancient Primeval times, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court existed independently within the Heaven Realm, separated from the Human Realm by a vast chasm.

However, after the fall of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, its origin was broken, and it could no longer maintain the Heaven Realm. This led to the shattering of the Heaven Realm, and the Heavenly Palace came down to the Human Realm. Although it was still floating above the Nine Heavens, it no longer had the presence of its own realm.

On the ruins of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, the Human Heavenly Court built a new Heavenly Court, but its majesty paled in comparison to that of the Ancient Primeval Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. Lacking the ability to rebuild the Heaven Realm, they devised a compromise by constructing four great Heavenly Gates to enclose the Heavenly Palace, forming a pseudo-Heaven Realm.

Now, Sun Wukong, using an endless stream of merit and destiny as a sacrifice to reopen the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, certainly wouldn’t cut corners like the Jade Emperor. The Heavenly Court he wanted to rebuild was a true Heavenly Court, not a half-baked imitation; naturally, he intended to reopen the Heaven Realm!

The merit and destiny were rapidly depleting as more and more space law power gathered around Flower-Fruit Mountain, becoming ever denser. If outsiders were present, they would be astounded to find Flower-Fruit Mountain gradually becoming ethereal.

This wasn’t to say that Flower-Fruit Mountain was being concealed or turning into nothingness, but rather that the Heaven Realm was swiftly taking shape. A new, vast space belonging to the Heaven Realm was being generated rapidly, poised to envelop Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Once Flower-Fruit Mountain completely vanished from the sky above, the space where the Heaven Realm resided would be fully formed!

Tathagata Buddha and other Buddhist powerhouses arrived at Flower-Fruit Mountain at this time and witnessed this scene.

"Ancestral Buddha, what is that?"

The Buddhist powerhouses were all shocked by the astonishing sight before them. What was happening to Flower-Fruit Mountain? What did the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, intend to do?

"He’s creating his own realm! That Demon Monkey has grand ambitions; he wants to rebuild the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court!"

Tathagata Buddha’s eyes suddenly widened, then narrowed tightly. As the leader of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect, he was all too familiar with the power emanating around Flower-Fruit Mountain—it was the power to create one’s own realm!

Flower-Fruit Mountain was about to be wrapped up in a new world, and that newly born world would be the Heaven Realm of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court!

"Creating one’s own realm requires a massive consumption of merit and destiny as a foundation. Where did Flower-Fruit Mountain get so much merit and destiny..."

Ran Deng Buddha didn’t finish his sentence before he realized: the merit and destiny that Sun Wukong was consuming were from the reward that Heavenly Dao bestowed upon Jiang Liu’er and the other four after their successful Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures!

The five giant light pillars that fell from the sky above were the best proof!

"Damn it, that’s our Buddhist Sect’s merit and destiny being used by that Demon Monkey to rebuild the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court! I will not allow it! Absolutely not!"

With a ferocious expression, Ran Deng Buddha growled and charged forward. His Demon-Subduing Pestle was shrouded in shocking Buddha’s Light, and in the next moment, it transformed into an enormous pestle shadow and slammed viciously towards Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Whoosh!

Seeing that the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain was about to be struck by the shadow of the pestle, a figure suddenly rushed out from within the barrier and blocked the shadow, it was none other than Demon Master Kunpeng!

"Sorry, but now is a crucial moment for the establishment of our Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, and I will not let you wreak havoc here!"

Demon Master Kunpeng held a sea-blue pearl in his hand, it was with this pearl that he blocked the shadow of the pestle. Ran Deng Buddha’s seemingly indestructible shadow of the pestle failed to stir up even a little wave before this blue pearl, being absorbed the moment it touched it, causing no harm whatsoever.

"That is the merit and destiny of our Buddhist Sect! You bunch of robbers!"

Ran Deng Buddha growled lowly.

"The Buddhist Sect’s merit and destiny? That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard! Do you have proof? Does it respond when you call it? Which of your eyes saw that it belongs to the Buddhist Sect? But this is Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

Demon Master Kunpeng sneered, a series of retorts leaving Ran Deng Buddha with a face flushed purple-red with anger: "Damn bastard, I’ll take your life!"

The Twenty-Four Heavens manifested themselves around Ran Deng Buddha, their aura suddenly intensifying as they fiercely pounced toward Demon Master Kunpeng.

"You think you’re enough? You’re not the first Heavenly Dao Saint I’ve killed, nor will you be the last!"

Demon Master Kunpeng sneered coldly, stepping forward to meet the challenge without the slightest fear. After all, he had once devoured the Spirit Emperor of the Night Spirit Clan. Ran Deng Buddha’s cultivation had only recently broken through to the Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint Realm, weaker than him. Even with the help of the Twenty-Four Heavens’ Worlds, what did Demon Master Kunpeng have to fear?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent collisions sounded as Demon Master Kunpeng firmly blocked Ran Deng Buddha, foiling his attempt to destroy Flower-Fruit Mountain and rebuild the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. However, this reminded the other masters of the Buddhist Sect, including Tathagata Buddha. All the high-ranking members of the Buddhist Sect used their divine skills to launch an attack on the Great Formation of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Tathagata, your opponent is me!"

"And me!"

Puti Patriarch rushed out from the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain and stood before Tathagata Buddha. The next moment, Guiding Daoist appeared as well and, along with Puti Patriarch, securely pinned Tathagata Buddha from both sides.

Tathagata Buddha glanced around and saw that Maitreya Buddha and the others were also stopped by other strong figures from Flower-Fruit Mountain. Mosquito Daoist faced Maitreya Buddha, Nine Spirit Yuan Holy faced Medicine Buddha, and Luo Bai, Erlang God Yang Jian, Nezha the Third Prince, Bull Demon King, and others each tangled with an opponent, engaging in fierce combat.

The face of Tathagata Buddha darkened. Unknowingly, aside from Sun Wukong, Flower-Fruit Mountain had gathered so many top-notch strong figures, which was completely beyond his expectations!

It seemed that over the years, that Demon Monkey Sun Wukong had been secretly developing the power of Flower-Fruit Mountain!

Damn, he had been too careless!

"Bodhi, Guiding, do you two really intend to gang up on me in a two against one fight?"

Tathagata Buddha looked at Puti Patriarch and Guiding Daoist. Puti Patriarch’s cultivation was on par with his, both having reached the Slaying Three Corpses Merit Saint Realm, while Guiding Daoist was slightly weaker, only reaching the Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint Realm. In a one-on-one fight, neither of them was his match. But facing both at the same time, the outcome was uncertain!
