Chapter 1259: Burning the True Spirit
To be fair, the combat power of the Holy Son is indeed extremely formidable, absolutely not inferior to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor!
Especially within the Destiny Star Cloud, his combat power has received a significant boost, with no need to worry about energy loss. He can freely use all sorts of moves that consume his own strength.
Because of this, the Holy Son was full of confidence, believing he could easily suppress and resolve Sun Wukong.
Unfortunately, he greatly underestimated Sun Wukong!
Sun Wukong had long since noticed the peculiarity of the primordial Qi energy here. Seeing the Holy Son so recklessly unleashing his powers, he already had some suspicions in his mind.
So, early on, he found an opportunity to secretly release his external incarnation, just waiting for the Holy Son's carelessness for a sneak attack.
Sure enough, the Holy Son didn't regard Sun Wukong highly at all, paying no attention to the attack from behind, and was successfully struck by the external incarnation.
The Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod pierced through the Holy Son's body, directly breaking his life core, the disruptive power emitted severing all the meridians in his body.
Even though the Holy Son's recovery ability is strong, such injuries would be hard to heal in a short period of time.
Moreover, Sun Wukong wouldn't give him the chance to heal.
"Sun Wukong, you, you sneaky attacker… despicable!"
The Holy Son forcefully struggled to free his body from the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, covering the wound, his hand glowing white, trying to heal his injury.
"Bang!"
A golden rod fiercely slammed onto the Holy Son, Sun Wukong immediately saw through the Holy Son's intention and directly interrupted his healing.
"Stop wishful thinking! You think I, old Sun, will give you a chance to heal?"
Sun Wukong coldly laughed, looking at the Holy Son, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand didn't pause, repeatedly striking the Holy Son.
The Holy Son at this moment had sustained heavy injuries, the power within his body constantly draining from the wound, unable to focus his strength, how could he be a match for Sun Wukong?
He was utterly powerless!
As his body continued to be impacted, the Holy Son turned into a sandbag, being bombarded by Sun Wukong between the star clouds, blood gushing out from his wound and seven orifices as if without cost.
A Golden Divine Realm expert, every drop of blood could crush a mountain, the blood containing extremely terrifying energy.
With the blood continuously spraying from his body, the Holy Son's aura grew weaker and weaker.
As for Sun Wukong, he simply plucked a tuft of hair from the back of his head, crushed it in his hand, blew on it, and hundreds of clones expanded in all directions, gathering the spilled blood of the Holy Son.
"This blood is good stuff, can be used for alchemizing medicine, it would be a shame to waste it!"
Sun Wukong muttered to himself, his voice deliberately loud enough for the Holy Son to hear, making his eyes bulge, almost fainting from rage and injury.
Too outrageous!
Incredibly outrageous!
This Sun Wukong actually wants to use his blood for alchemy!
What does he take him for?
A monster to be slaughtered and bled for alchemy!
"I am the Holy Son, a child of heaven, how dare you insult me like this! If you want my life, you shall perish with me!"
A powerful force suddenly erupted from the Holy Son, pushing Sun Wukong away, his whole body shining with radiant white light, making Sun Wukong's eyes narrow sharply.
"Not good, this guy wants to self-destruct!"
Sun Wukong realized that the Holy Son was burning the essence of his body, soul, and divine soul, in exchange for a powerful force for a temporary combat power recovery.
This is entirely a suicidal method!
Once started, it's impossible to stop, in the end, the body, soul, and divine essence will burn completely clean, not a trace will remain!
But during the burning period, his combat power will become extremely terrifying, even surpassing his peak state!
It seems the Holy Son is desperate to drag him down!
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, the aura from Sun Wukong's body also fully released, and his life core began to shine, unleashing all his strength.
"So, this is your true strength…"
The wound on the Holy Son's chest had healed under self-burning, his whole condition surpassing his peak state, holding a spear in the void, looking at Sun Wukong, his expression gloomy.
So this is Sun Wukong's true power!
No wonder he lost!
In a world of great conflict, there is indeed heaven beyond heaven, man beyond man, and above the prodigy are even greater prodigies!
"Sun Wukong, you're ruthless, this Holy Son conceded to you, not unfairly! But don't think you'll leave this Destiny Star Cloud alive today!
"Since I cannot ascend to the pinnacle in this world of great conflict, nor can you! You will fall with me in this Destiny Star Cloud!"
After a few vicious growls, the Holy Son charged ferociously towards Sun Wukong.
Attacks far more terrifying than before aggressively targeted Sun Wukong.
The duration of self-burning is limited, he must annihilate Sun Wukong during this time of combat power exceeding his peak, otherwise he'll have no chance!
"I, old Sun, said earlier, you're too confident!"
A sharp glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and his external incarnation rushed over, joining with his true form to fend off the attack from both sides.
It must be said, the Holy Son in the self-burning state is indeed much stronger than before, every strike contains power not inferior to a full-strength strike from a middle-stage Saint Divine Realm expert.
Sun Wukong was being shaken with every encounter, his arms experiencing severe numbness.
Luckily, there was the external incarnation to share the pressure, otherwise, it would have been difficult to withstand.
But it is only this; the Holy Son wishing to harm him or even slay him is wishful thinking!
He is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, invincible among his peers.
Just a small child of heaven, would this Great Sage be afraid of you?
The Heavenly Saint Fire spread throughout his body, the Great Saint Decree fully operational, Sun Wukong also exerted his combat power at 120%, steadily blocking the Holy Son's attacks.
Although at a disadvantage, he wasn't injured.
The Holy Son couldn't help but feel anxious.
He had already risked everything, with the self-burning duration mostly passed, yet he still hadn't thoroughly defeated Sun Wukong.
Although Sun Wukong is at a disadvantage now, if this drags on, he'll run out of strength and perish, ultimately the victor will still be Sun Wukong!
"Looks like I can only use this move! I never thought I'd be driven to this extent one day!"
A layer of white flame ignited on the Holy Son's body, burning his true spirit!
Sun Wukong was startled, this guy, he's burning even his true spirit!
Self-burning merely would destroy the divine soul, yet leave a sliver of true spirit to escape into the void, gather strength and wait for a chance to reincarnate.
Burning the true spirit would cut off even the last bit of retreat!
