The Tathāgata Must Fail

A vast hand obscured the sky, and the formidable Heavenly Might was vast, the terrifying wind pressure enough to strip souls from their bodies.

The woman's heart was seized with terror, and with her arms crossed in front of her, there was no escape from the descending colossal hand that crushed her outright. In an instant, both her arms were sent flying.

Suddenly, the woman was a bloodied blur as her body, like a kite without strings, was smashed and sent flying; the giant hand, wrapping the roaring gale, pressed on, breaking through several Star Palaces on its way.

Within the thunderous roars, the woman's body was torn apart, limbs and broken pieces floating amidst the Chaos.

It was clear to all that this was a battle without suspense.

"Is it over just like that?"

The sight of the spread of bloody flesh amidst the Chaos made it hard for people to believe.

Yet, in the next moment, as Sun Wukong withdrew his hand, those floating broken limbs suddenly moved eerily.

They rapidly fused back together, reforming into the Undying female commoner.

"Such Divine Skills are indeed clever."

Qing Yuanzi's eyes lit up: "Just like the Gecko spirit!"

Lingji Bodhisattva glanced at him and replied, "Even a Gecko spirit isn't that impressive."

This kind of Divine Skill, it must be something that a Leech spirit possessed.

Somewhere in the distance, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was thinking of him.

He looked towards the Undying female commoner, unfazed by her recovery.

If he could do it, there was no reason the Undying commoners couldn't.

"I want to see how many lives you truly have."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he took out the Jingu Bang.

"That's enough, nine."

A voice arose beside the woman's ear: "Step back, you can't defeat that Sun Wukong."

"Let us take over."

Other voices also spoke: "You are an important seed for us, you cannot die here."

Reluctantly, the woman's heart submitted, her cold gaze towards Sun Wukong flickering several times before she finally gritted her teeth.

"Yes."

She whispered softly, and the will to fight receded from her like a tide.

"Hm?"

Sun Wukong noticed her change, deciding to delay the attack.

He looked towards the woman. The Undying female commoner produced a dagger in her hand and stabbed it fiercely into her chest, beginning a blood sacrifice.

The next moment, from the woman's chest burst forth billions of silver rays, extremely vibrant, turning into a terrifying Fire Dragon that enveloped her.

The massive Fire Dragon protected the woman, making her body shine as bright as a Divine Furnace, burning fiercely amidst the Chaos. The vast winds stirred by the Fire Dragon kept all beings at bay.

The woman was undergoing an important ritual.

Sun Wukong realized this and immediately knew what she was intending to do.

"It's coming."

A flame flickered in Sun Wukong's eyes as he braced himself.

Within the resplendent Divine Furnace, the woman's body blazed fiercely, and a blood-colored radiance flew out from her body, caught by Sun Wukong's gaze.

It was an unfamiliar figure that walked out from the Fire Dragon, with an ancient aura never before felt. Before fully stepping out, terrifying Heavenly Swords manifested around him, making the entire Chaos tremble.

These phenomena let Sun Wukong know he was much stronger than the woman.

However, this was just the beginning.

Another blood-colored radiance flew out from the woman, emitting an utterly lifeless aura.

Sun Wukong looked towards that radiance and saw a different phenomenon - a sea of blood and billions of skeletons floating within it.

"Heavenly Dao."

A chill ran through his heart.

Both these figures were no ordinary beings. The anomalies of the Heavenly Dao filled the surrounding Star Palaces.

But the woman's blood sacrifice had not ended.

She ignited her own Essence Blood, summoning the second, the third... a total of seven radiances flew out from her body, different phenomena of the Heavenly Dao shining within the Chaos, each phenomenon seemingly a world of its own.

"Seven Undying Emperors!"

People witnessing these radiant phenomena in the distance began to panic.

"That woman is indeed freakish!"

"Run!"

"We need to leave this place!"

Those Divine Power Creatures spectating within the Chaos suddenly became panicked birds and beasts, scrambling to escape in all directions.

"What happened to them?"

Immortal Zhenyuan felt puzzled.

"Powerful Undying beings like to plunder Heavenly Dao from other civilizations, and the elites among them are known as the Undying Emperors."

Emperor Yao spoke: "They carry too many sins, but their Divine Skills are unimaginable to us."

His right hand clenched quietly, suppressing the rage within him.

These Undying Emperors were enemies of all civilizations, and now many Emperors were gathering together, revealing their stolen powers before Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's battle this time would probably be a hundred times more difficult than facing the White Robed Venerate!

"So then, should we run far away with these people?"

Immortal Zhenyuan asked Emperor Yao.

"It's too late."

Emperor Yao shook his head: "With so many Undying Emperors appearing, no one can flee."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Furnace within the Fire Dragon emitted one last radiance.

Upon its release, thunder roared, and lightning flashed within the Chaos. The Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal appeared amidst the Fire Dragon, brilliant and vast, emitting a thunderous sound that could make gods and spirits cry—

Then, it suddenly descended towards the Divine Furnace.

Amidst the woman's anguished screams, the Divine Furnace exploded, blood and Divine Radiance surged, and along with the howling wind and blood rain, it swept through the Chaos, engulfing all the escaping figures.

Silvery flames began to burn in the vast expanse of Chaos.
