Chapter 274 - 262: The Buddha’s Wrathful Fire Refinement of the Great Sun
Once Wukong had healed his Dao wounds at the Water Curtain Cave, he headed deep into the Celestial Realm. There, the Victorious Fighting Buddha was locked in combat with Lu Ya’s kindly corpse, Vairocana. The latter, having merged with Subhuti and commanding sixty billion thought forms, still possessed formidable strength.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha had fought for ten days, merely inflicting severe injuries without being able to determine the victor.
With Wukong’s arrival, the tide of battle turned, sealing Vairocana’s inevitable death!
The battles between Saints were too terrifying; the Primordial Golden Immortals—and other divine beasts dwelling deep within the Celestial Realm—scattered millions of miles away to avoid being affected. These beasts, all cultivated by Hong Jun and each possessing unique abilities at the level of Primordial Golden Immortals, would be Earth Immortal Realm’s first line of defense should the Chaos Heaven Demons break the Heavenly Dao Laws and invade.
Wukong joined the fight, and with a single strike of his staff, he sent Vairocana flying, breaking bones and tearing tendons.
Lu Ya hadn’t expected that, despite his scheming, he would end up causing his own death—an outcome that baffled him.
He had planned to cut down Wukong first, then reunite with Vairocana to escape. However, when he traveled through the time tunnel to the past, he encountered a past incarnation cultivated by the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Now, teamed with two against one, Lu Ya could only die full of regret within the time tunnel.
Vairocana felt desolate; this time, escape from doom was impossible. He was bound to die at the hands of the two.
Wukong raised the Great Revolution Seal, the Victorious Fighting Buddha took up the scythe, and Wukong hefted the axe.
Wukong said coldly, "You wanted to see my ’Strike of Opening the Heavens,’ didn’t you? Now, taste its power!"
Upon saying that, an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from Wukong, sweeping across the lands, his aura soaring limitlessly as if he were the ancient god Pangu, looking down upon heaven and earth.
