Chapter 327 - 288: The Medicine Buddha Will Be Born
Wukong was suppressed by the will of the Heavenly Demon’s world, governed by the Demon Lord, yet the Demon Lord couldn’t kill him. Those three lotuses shielded Wukong, leaving the demon without recourse.
"It infuriates me! This Meritorious Lotus Platform is exactly what curbs our lineage of Heavenly Demons. If it were any other Quasi-Saint here, this Macaca would have been reduced to ashes in an instant," the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord couldn’t help but gnash his teeth in anger, constantly urging the will of the Heavenly Demon’s world to suppress Wukong. Otherwise, Wukong would soon break out and escape far away with the help of the Meritorious Lotus Platform.
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was unable to destroy the Meritorious Lotus Platform but was also unwilling to miss the opportunity to kill Wukong, so he continued to crush him with the will of the Heavenly Demon world.
Wukong was enveloped by this will, trapped in a cocoon, utterly incapable of getting out, but now, even if he could, he wouldn’t want to. This cocoon, made from the will of the Heavenly Demon’s world and its origin, had him comprehending the profound mysteries of the world’s essence. Once he succeeded, he could become the creator and by then, the Demon Lord wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
"The world’s essence consists of countless laws, and penetrating these essences to comprehend the laws will enable creation, fundamentally changing one’s power," Wukong sensed the constant stream of the Heavenly Demon world’s will. Without the protection of the Meritorious Lotus Platform, he would have been crushed to death in an instant.
How heavy is the will of a world? The entire world of Heavenly Demons hid in the boundless void, immeasurable, even larger than the Four Great Continents. Naturally, the will of such a world was tremendously powerful! However, the Meritorious Lotus Platform was the bane of the Heavenly Demon’s world; although it was a mere Third-Grade Lotus Platform, it withstood the will of the whole world.
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was furious but knew even so, he couldn’t kill Wukong. Thus, he used the world’s will to construct a formation to trap him, and then began to refine him.
"I want to see if, after spending a thousand years or more, can I refine you!" the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord said viciously, starting to stir up the True Fire to refine Wukong, along with the Meritorious Lotus Platform.
Sitting crossed-legged on the Lotus Platform, Wukong resisted the will of the Heavenly Demon world while perceiving its essence, grasping the crux of creation.
