Chapter 270 - 259: The Past Life of the Victorious Fighting Buddha
Lu Ya utilized the Jade Being to activate the Time Law, opening a passage through time, traversing past, present, and future, to return to the past to strike down Wukong’s former self.
Wukong’s past form was extremely weak; as long as Lu Ya returned to the era when he had just burst forth from the stone, he could easily annihilate him. However, at a critical moment, Wukong realized something. This Heavenly Mechanism Staff that could traverse time and space had been thrust by him into the temporal tunnel.
Lu Ya had already found Wukong’s past form inside the temporal tunnel—it was an Intelligent Stone Monkey completely devoid of Mana.
Just as Lu Ya was about to exterminate it, a staff descended from the sky, aiming straight for his forehead.
Lu Ya’s heart skipped a beat. This was a temporal tunnel constructed by the Jade Being using the Time Law, generally impervious to others. Upon closer inspection, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "Clever Three Pure Ones, to scheme against me like this. It seems you knew I was going to clash with Sun Wukong, and thus you gave him the Heavenly Mechanism Staff!"
The Heavenly Mechanism Staff was made from the bones of a Divine Ape lineage and was incredibly powerful, able to manifest Divine Apes.
Among the Divine Ape lineage, there was a kind called the Drilling Mountain Divine Ape, which had mastery over the Time Law and could freely traverse between past, present, and future. The Heavenly Mechanism Staff contained a piece of rib from a Drilling Mountain Divine Ape and, naturally, inherited this ability. Wukong sent it through the temporal tunnel, chasing down Lu Ya.
Lu Ya performed a spell with his hands beneath the Jade Being’s feet, and a time storm was unleashed!
"Boom!"
The Time Law exploded, warping time itself—the Heavenly Mechanism Staff, no matter how it tried to advance, could not reach him, while Lu Ya had already struck at the Intelligent Stone Monkey.
As his hand was about to land, the Heavenly Mechanism Staff burst forth with golden light, with the Time Law exploding as well. The Intelligent Stone Monkey was enwrapped by the Time Law, and in an instant, it transformed into a majestic Buddha, adorned with a Treasure Crown and a golden Kasaya, the very image of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
