Chapter 333 - 294: Comprehending the Origin to Become the Creator
Time flowed like water, and two to three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
The guidance of Chen Tuan had led Emperor Taizu of Song to the Chenqiao coup, donning the yellow robes, and ultimately reunifying the turmoil-filled fortune of the Southern Toad Continent. Under the support of Zhao Kuangyin, Taoism emerged strong once again, and with Zhang Boduan promoting the Complete Truth Taoism, the incense of the Complete Truth Sect burned ever brighter.
Wukong spent his days in the World of Heavenly Demons, comprehending the profound mysteries of the essence of heaven and earth, unraveling layers after layers until he finally mastered the Creation Law.
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and like lightning; to be viewed in this way! Earth, water, wind, fire, disperse!" Wukong shouted loudly, and the cocoon wrapped by the will of the World of Heavenly Demons burst open, exploding into the sky, causing the surrounding True Fire to scatter instantly.
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was startled and exclaimed, "I didn’t expect this fellow to have mastered the Creation Law over these years! Should I kill him and unintentionally do him a favor?"
He was furious, not believing that his attempt to kill Wukong instead led him to comprehend the Creation Law.
"Kill!"
Wukong, holding his Jingu Bang, struck down at the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord with terrorizing might. The power of this blow was immense, entwined with earth, water, wind, and fire, augmenting it thousands of times. It shook the entire World of Heavenly Demons as if millions of Minor Thousand Worlds were coming into being and ceasing on the Jingu Bang, endlessly creating and cycling.
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord shouted, "The Heavenly Demon is volatile, changing ten thousand forms! I roam free and achieve great liberty!"
Being known as the Other-transforming Self at Ease, his transformations were unpredictable and boundless. Wukong’s strike, however, missed its target.
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, superior in cultivation to Wukong and existing within the World of Heavenly Demons, could move to any location with a mere thought. He flashed behind Wukong, formed a spell with his hands, and struck at his back.
