The golden cudgel emitted a blazing light that pressed down like a scorching sun.
This was a cudgel that no one could resist. Its divine might was vast and its aura was astonishing. In the path of the golden cudgel, all the heavenly daos were shattered.
"This is impossible!"
After a roar of unwillingness, Emperor Yao was drowned by the monstrous flames.
This was an earth-shattering collision. The heavenly daos wailed and the lightning turned into thousands of fragments, splashing in all directions.
"I can't lose!"
In the flames, Emperor Yao roared. His figure flickered.
The bloody light on his body wailed and emitted bursts of shattering sounds, trembling under the golden cudgel.
The golden cudgel became more and more excited and hummed.
The Monkey King's strength grew stronger and stronger. He wanted to determine victory or defeat in one round. The entire battlefield was shrouded in terrifying heavenly might.
"Admit defeat!"
He shouted. The flames around him crackled and the imprint of a war god bloomed between his brows.
The bloody light cracked under his cudgel. A strand of blood appeared on Emperor Yao's head. Because he couldn't withstand the power of the Monkey King's cudgel, space shattered and distorted. The huge wind pressure injured him.
In the bloody light, a sorrowful cry rang out. That voice was mournful as if it was begging for mercy.
"Why are you protecting him!"
The Monkey King shouted. With a wave of anger, he swung the golden cudgel down.
With a loud bang, a figure flew out from the sea of flames. He was wrapped in monstrous flames and drenched in blood as he shot towards the depths of the primal chaos.
It was Emperor Yao.
Everyone was shocked.
Emperor Yao was defeated!
His heavenly sword was broken and his body was covered in wounds. The heavenly daos were also dissipating.
"Your Majesty …"
"We can't protect you anymore."
The bloody light turned into fragments and dissipated. A sorrowful voice rang in Emperor Yao's ears.
At this moment, something gushed out from the corner of Emperor Yao's eyes.
"How is this possible!"
He reached out, trying his best to grab the bloody light.
That was the voice of his people.
But his people were clearly dead!
Emperor Yao flew into the primal chaos while wrapped in flames.
"Emperor Yao!"
The white-robed Venerable saw him and immediately got up. He turned into a beam of light and chased after him.
In the primal chaos, the Monkey King also chased after Emperor Yao.
On the path of his death, countless heavenly daos shattered, heaven and earth wept, and even the primal chaos underwent changes.
The Monkey King stopped abruptly. The blood qi around him was filled with boundless flames of war.
He seemed to have entered another star field. This star field was vast and boundless, but it was enveloped in the flames of war. The earth was scorched black, and corpses were everywhere.
The celestials and the beasts clashed violently in the chaos, shouting and yelling. The Monkey King looked around, and everywhere he looked, there were flames.
A few blazing suns exploded in the distance, unleashing waves of fire. Mountains, rivers, and seas were scorched, and immortals fell in droves.
Those were Buddhist prayer beads.
The Monkey King finally understood.
This was a battle between the buddhist beads and Emperor Yao.
"Send them away!"
Amidst the flames of war, he heard a voice.
The Monkey King turned around, only to see two rays of light shooting out from the Star Palace.
In the light, two little girls could be vaguely seen.
The Monkey King's eyes flashed, then he turned his gaze towards the Star Palace.
Inside the Star Palace, mortals had long been wiped out. A dazzling immortal light soared into the sky, rushing out of the sea of fire.
"Venerable!"
The leader roared, "I will make you pay with your blood!"
The Monkey King could clearly see that it was Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao brought a group of immortals out of the sea of fire, rushing towards the end of the primal chaos.
There, a black shadow was quietly sitting cross-legged, unable to be seen clearly.
He didn't make a move until the immortals rushed out of the battlefield. Only then did he stretch out his palm, slapping down like a comet.
That palm was unprecedented, as if it enveloped the entire primal chaos. Before it even got close, the immortals around Emperor Yao turned into a mist of blood under the pressure, disappearing into the primal chaos.
"Venerable ahhhh!"
Emperor Yao tragically rushed over.
The giant palm brought with it a boundless pressure. Everywhere it passed, the Star Palaces exploded one after another, turning into dust.
Following that, the Star Palace Monkey King was in was also destroyed.
The bloody light also dissipated.
"To challenge a Venerable, difficult … difficult … difficult …"
A voice appeared in front of him.
Monkey King looked up and saw the white-robed Venerable floating in the void.
Behind him, a golden lotus bloomed, and on top of it lay a bloody Emperor Yao.
"You saw it all."
The white-robed Venerable looked at Monkey King, his gaze as calm as the sea: "That is a Venerable."
That Venerable waved his palm, destroying countless Star Palaces and turning immortals into grass.
That unparalleled power was something no one could challenge.
As a Heavenly Emperor, Monkey King could feel the terrifying gap between them.
"Why is Emperor Yao still alive?"
Monkey King asked.
That giant palm was too terrifying. Emperor Yao was the same as the other immortals, he shouldn't have survived.
"In front of Venerable, Emperor Yao is also like grass."
The white-robed Venerable replied: "He is alive because of Venerable's benevolence."
And that benevolence was none other than the one standing in front of Monkey King.
The Venerable controlled the primal chaos for billions of years, destroying all the Star Palaces, but his benevolence didn't fade. He gradually split and turned into the white-robed Venerable.
"Other than me, no one can change his will."
The white-robed Venerable said.
"So, you established a pure land?"
Monkey King asked back: "Can the Heavenly Court escape destruction just like that?"
"The Heavenly Court is a land of bliss. If all living beings can fall here, the Venerable will no longer control them."
The white-robed Venerable said: "This is the contract between me and him."
As a condition, he left the Venerable, making the Venerable lose his benevolence.
Without benevolence, the Venerable would have no weakness.
"The Venerable is heartless, he can destroy all living beings."
The white-robed Venerable said: "Only by establishing this pure land can they survive."
"What you see is only a corner of the Venerable's power. He is far stronger than you can imagine."
The white-robed Venerable continued: "We can't defeat him. In order to save more people, Emperor Yao and I can only compromise."
"I understand."
Monkey King nodded.
The white-robed Venerable looked at him: "Since that's the case, let me ask you one more time. Can you let go of your obsession?"
"I can't …"
Monkey King shook his head.
He could feel the Venerable's power, but his battle intent didn't diminish. His body and mind understood his choice.
Monkey King took a deep breath: "Maybe you are right!"
He gripped the golden cudgel tightly as the flames on his body engulfed the sky: "Maybe I will fail, but my Dao only has failure. I will never give up!"
How could he admit defeat?
Admitting to bliss was admitting that he was stagnant.
But how could the living beings in the primordial chaos remain stagnant?
"Your intentions for the Pure Land of Bliss are good."
Monkey King raised the golden cudgel to the white-robed Venerable: "But unfortunately, it isn't my Dao."
The white-robed Venerable's eyes dimmed as he sighed in his heart.
The people of the world were arrogant, but they hadn't seen true terror.
But after seeing it, how many people could maintain their original intentions?
"Monkey King, I admit that your will is stronger than anyone else."
The white-robed Venerable said, his voice filled with admiration.
"It is precisely because of this that your strength should be used in the right place."
His body flickered with buddhist light as his battle intent rose.
Emperor Yao had already been defeated. The next battle would be up to him.
