Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Of course, the idea is very good, but implementing it isn't so easy.

With the fire columns erupting so frequently, Sun Wukong and the other two must first ensure they don't get hit by them.

Otherwise, if they can't withstand it, the question won't be whether they can absorb the energy, but whether they can stay alive at all.

To absorb the energy from the previous era within the mountain, they need to find an opportune moment to do so.

"Be careful!"

Not only do the fire columns shoot skyward, but Sun Wukong also notices that some particularly large ones scatter apart, turning into droplets of fiery rain.

These fireball droplets aren't easy to deal with; the three can only try to dodge them.

If avoidance isn't possible, they can only rely on their protective shields to withstand them.

"Ugh!"

Sun Wukong takes on a massive fiery rain, grunting as part of the fiery rain's force breaches his protective aura and invades his body.

Blazing emerald flames rampage within Sun Wukong's body, and were it not for the Heavenly Saint Fire, his form might have been reduced to ashes by these emerald flames.

The power of the Heavenly Saint Fire is strong, its yin-yang infused flame nurturing all things, and it has some resistance to the flame power of the previous era.

Moreover, Sun Wukong finds the Heavenly Saint Fire continuously slicing the emerald flames apart, dispersing them into strands of flame.

Wrapping, absorbing, and converting the flame power from the previous era, it integrates with the Heavenly Saint Fire to form a new flame.

This new Heavenly Saint Fire seems to possess an attribute that transcends reincarnation and extinction.

For Sun Wukong, this situation is an unexpected delight.

Of course, the process isn't beautiful; during the flame fusion, Sun Wukong can clearly feel the agony of his body being torn apart.

Compared to Sun Wukong, Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor are much more battered.

They don't possess the Heavenly Saint Fire, and neither the Purple Cloud Heart Flame nor the Creation Qi could refine and convert the emerald flames.

Therefore, they are more cautious than Sun Wukong, avoiding letting the emerald flames touch their bodies or their protective aura.

"Wukong, we can't keep going like this. We need to hurry through this area and climb the mountain!"

Shen Lang is a bit anxious; how long can they keep dodging back and forth here?

The emerald fire columns show no sign of stopping at all.

"You're right, we can't delay here any longer. Daoist Ancestor, Shen Lang, let's rush through at full speed! Once we leave this area, we should be safe!"

Sun Wukong's Void-Breaking Moon Eyes have been constantly operating at full capacity, and he's already seen that the mountainside ahead doesn't have any eruptions.

If they can get there, they'll be safe.

"Rush through at full speed? We'll get fired upon by the columns!"

Shen Lang is taken aback; with the fire columns erupting so densely and without any pattern, charging forward would definitely mean getting hit.

"Use the protective aura to withstand it and rush through in the shortest time. It's better than staying here and enduring a slow death!"

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said.

Shen Lang is right; rushing through at full speed means they won't avoid the columns and might get hit directly.

But he has already tested the power of the columns; with full cultivation technique operation, though they might get hurt, it's possible to withstand them.

Staying here longer means they will continuously be corroded by scattered sparks; though he can handle it, Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor won't hold up.

"Wukong is right, let's charge together!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's Creation Jade Disc on his head spins increasingly turbulent, unleashing Creation Qi without reservation, enveloping him thickly.

With both Sun Wukong and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor resolved, Shen Lang has no objections. Immediately, the Purple Cloud Heart Flame bursts fully, forming a layer of fire armor around him.

"Let's go, charge! I don't believe these fire columns can block us!"

Gritting his teeth, Shen Lang roared and dashed forward.

"That kid!"

Sun Wukong shook his head with amusement, thinking Shen Lang was scared to death earlier but now is fearless.

Gathering his emotions, Sun Wukong followed Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, charging ahead with full force.

However, unlike them, Sun Wukong didn't strengthen his protective aura but weakened his shield.

He's already certain the emerald flames in the columns can be refined and absorbed by his Heavenly Saint Fire.

This power from the previous era is something he long craved, and now has the chance to absorb, so he wouldn't miss it.

Though he may get hurt by the columns, as the saying goes, riches are sought in risks. Enhancing strength sometimes requires taking risks.

Boom!

Boom boom!

Just as Sun Wukong and the others expected, speeding up to charge through significantly reduced their efficiency in dodging the columns.

One fire column after another struck Sun Wukong and the others.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's Creation Qi shield and Shen Lang's Purple Cloud Heart Flame armor rocked violently, almost on the verge of collapsing.

It seemed like the next moment they would be completely shattered.

Their faces flushed red, biting their teeth, they kept charging forward without a word.

Sun Wukong's situation was even more grim.

He barely defended, his Heavenly Saint Fire only forming a shallow layer of fire armor on the surface.

Most of his Heavenly Saint Fire and Great Saint Primordial Force were used to envelop and divide the invading emerald flames.

Heavenly Saint Fire and Great Saint Primordial Force can indeed refine the emerald flames, but they must be enveloped and divided first.

Only when they have an overwhelming numerical advantage can the Heavenly Saint Fire convert and fuse the emerald flames.

Thus, the power used for self-defense is naturally reduced.

The narration seems lengthy, yet it took only half an incense stick's time for the three to sprint through and exit the range of fire column eruptions.

"Whew! Finally broke through, I'm in so much pain!"

As soon as they exited the fire column range, Shen Lang shrieked, sitting heavily on the ground, panting wildly.

He grimaced as he took out healing medicine, applying it to the areas burned by the emerald flames.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's situation was similar, hurriedly applying medicine and cultivating to heal.
