Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 147 The Divine Skill of Acting Cute

Sun Wukong's brows knitted tightly together, his clones couldn't withstand the Sword Qi Storm, and he himself couldn't do it either. Even if he and his clones launched an attack together, they probably wouldn't be able to annihilate the Sword Qi Storm. The move that Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had activated with his Lifeblood Essence was truly too formidable, almost invincible!

"Big brother, don't clench with him, you just need to snatch that sword, and the Sword Qi Storm will naturally dissipate,"

Just as Wukong was at his wit's end, Dragon Cat poked its head out from his collar, along with its plump little paws, and pointed towards the Absolute Immortal Sword that was floating in the distant sky.

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. Right, why did he need to contend with the Sword Qi Storm? The power of the Sword Qi Storm was indeed overwhelming, but it was not fast.

And now, as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms that his clones had evolved were at a stalemate with the Sword Qi Storm, he could directly deal with the Absolute Immortal Sword itself and the hidden Cultivation Heavenly Venerable within the sword light. Why foolishly insist on crushing the Sword Qi Storm?

"Dragon Cat, for breaking the enemy this time, you have a merit!"

It's true that the participant is muddled while the onlooker sees clearly. Sun Wukong hadn't come up with such a simple truth earlier, and he was thankful to have Dragon Cat's reminder. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten his head around it yet!

After praising Dragon Cat, Sun Wukong flickered and combined the Streaming Light Escape with Somersault Cloud and Shrinking Earth into Inches Divine Skills to rush at the Absolute Immortal Sword. Others might be suppressed by the Domain Power within the Absolute Sword Domain, but not Sun Wukong.

He possessed the Chaos Primordial Force, which could transform anything in the world, including Domain Power. Even though Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had now used his Lifeblood Essence to enhance the power of the Absolute Sword Domain, it only added a slight pressure to him and didn't impact his strength significantly.

In a flash of light, Wukong had disappeared from his original spot and appeared in front of the Absolute Immortal Sword. A mischievous and evil smirk spread across his lips as he raised the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod high.

"True Solar Fire!"

"Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

"Heaven-Breaking Nine Rods!"

The fierce True Solar Fire blazed upon the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. The shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms materialized at the tip of the rod. Wukong shouted loudly, and the rod instantly transformed into Nine Shadow Rods that smashed ruthlessly onto the Absolute Immortal Sword. This was the strongest attack Sun Wukong could muster at this stage.

He didn't believe that with everything thrown out, he still couldn't take down Cultivation Heavenly Venerable!

Boom!

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was focusing all his strength to animate the Sword Qi Storm and had no power left to maneuver the Absolute Immortal Sword to evade. Wukong's movements were too fast, leaving him no time to react.

As the Nine Shadow Rods struck the body of the Absolute Immortal Sword almost simultaneously, the True Solar Fire and the Power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation burst forth with the Staff Force, shattering the continually emitting Sword Qi on the sword.

Whoosh!

The Sword Qi Storm, which had been pushing the clones' evolved Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms to the brink of collapse, suddenly lost its power supply and control, abruptly dissipating. The entire Absolute Sword Domain also started to crumble as the Sword Qi Storm fell apart.

The backlash affected the Absolute Immortal Sword, shattering its sword light completely, and a figure was sent flying out. The Absolute Immortal Sword, too, was spun away erratically.

Wukong's eyes brightened, and he darted out, reaching for the hilt of the Absolute Immortal Sword, only to grasp at the air. The Absolute Immortal Sword swerved, avoiding Wukong's palm and nicking it before flying towards the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable that had been forcibly ejected from the sword light.

"Damn it!"

A surge of pain emanated from his palm. The sharpness of the Absolute Immortal Sword was something not even the Diamond Indestructible Body could withstand.

Wukong found himself missing the Indestructible Body he cultivated in his past life after consuming the Peaches of Immortality and the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which was much stronger than the Diamond Indestructible Body.

Even Tathagata Buddha couldn't do anything to him, only capable of suppressing him under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years to slowly wear away the Indestructible Body.

While Wukong lamented inwardly, he didn't pause for a moment underfoot, flashing towards the Absolute Immortal Sword once more and making another grab for its hilt. Luo Bai had told him that the Sect Hierarch Tongtian had asked him to find an opportunity to retrieve the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying.

Last time Blood Dragon Ao Tian caused a great commotion in the Heavenly Court, and if it weren't for Sect Hierarch Tongtian's intervention, Wukong wouldn't have escaped unscathed. One should return a favor for even minor aid, let alone a life-saving grace.

Whether it was because of the camaraderie with his good brother Luo Bai or to repay and curry favor with Sect Hierarch Tongtian, Wukong must seize the Absolute Immortal Sword today!

"Dream on if you think you can snatch my Absolute Immortal Sword!"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had already steadied himself. He had been heavily injured by being forcibly ejected from the Absolute Immortal Sword's aura and due to the collapse of the Absolute Sword Domain. He looked pale, but having merged with the Absolute Immortal Sword for many years, they could be considered as connected by blood.

With just a thought, the Absolute Immortal Sword shone brightly again, its fierce Sword Qi billowing out. The tip of the sword moved to slash again at Wukong's palm.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"

Having suffered once already, Sun Wukong was not about to foolishly clash his palm with the edge of the Absolute Immortal Sword again. He transformed his palm into a fist and unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist towards the sword.

Shadowy images of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms appeared, blocking the blade's sharpness and wrapping around the Absolute Immortal Sword with the Power of Reincarnation, attempting to pull it in.

"Absolute Immortal Sword, mine!"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's face changed. Wukong was determined to take his Absolute Immortal Sword! He had spent so much effort on this sword, even abandoning his original Great Dao to forcibly merge it with himself, aiming to rise above others in the future. If Wukong managed to take the Absolute Immortal Sword away now, wouldn't all his years of painstaking effort be wasted?

No, absolutely not!

The Sword of Annihilation shook violently, emitting a fierce Sword Qi which shredded through the power of Reincarnation enveloping it, looking like it was about to break free from the restraint of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms and fly away, causing Sun Wukong to become anxious.

"Boss, I'll help you!"

Suddenly, Dragon Cat's voice came from within the collar of Sun Wukong's clothes, and then it burst out and flew towards Cultivation Heavenly Venerable. Its chubby body crouched midair, pouted its lips, extended its chubby little paws, and waving them at Cultivation Heavenly Venerable in the manner of a beckoning cat.

Suddenly, the expression on Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's face became vacant, his power stopped circulating, and his body began to fall downwards.

It was Dragon Cat's cute charm Divine Skill!

"Perfect opportunity!"

With Cultivation Heavenly Venerable under control by Dragon Cat's cute charm Divine Skill and his power circulation halted, the struggling force of the Sword of Annihilation plummeted instantly.

Sun Wukong wouldn't let go of such a chance; he quickly retracted the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms and reached out to grab the hilt of the Sword of Annihilation, pouring Chaos Primordial Force into it crazily.

Chaos Primordial Force could assimilate all things in heaven and earth; Sun Wukong's intent now was to assimilate and eliminate all the marks of origin from Cultivation Heavenly Venerable within the Sword of Annihilation, to completely strip his control over it!

Indeed, Dragon Cat's cute charm Divine Skill was formidable, even a powerful being like Cultivation Heavenly Venerable couldn't resist it, but the effect was short-lived, lasting only for the duration of a breath. Cultivation Heavenly Venerable regained consciousness just as he began to fall from the clouds, his heart full of shock. How could he have fallen into such a stupor all of a sudden?

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, struck by a sudden realization, looked up in horror only to see Sun Wukong gripping the Sword of Annihilation, which was trembling slightly. Panic surged within him as he felt the connection to the sword weakening at an alarming rate!

"Stop it now!"

With a roar, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, as if mad, charged towards Sun Wukong, only to see a blur as Dragon Cat again blocked his path with pouted lips and waving paws, the cute charm Divine Skill manifesting once more.

The forward momentum of Cultivation Heavenly Venerable suddenly halted, and he plunged to the ground in a parabolic arc.

"Boss, I can only use my Divine Skill three times in a row, once more and I won't be able to do it, hurry up!"

Dragon Cat turned its head and yelled to Sun Wukong, then Cultivation Heavenly Venerable regained consciousness immediately, with a sinister expression charged at Dragon Cat, only to be subdued again by Dragon Cat's third use of its cute charm Divine Skill.

"Oh my god, that was terrifying! Boss, you have to protect me!"

Seizing the opportunity, Dragon Cat hesitated not and dashed towards Sun Wukong, shrank and slipped directly inside his collar, only poking its head out, and looked at Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, who was regaining his ability to move, with a frightened expression.

"Cloning Divine Powers!"

Sun Wukong's clones, which had been absorbed after the Sword Qi Storm had dissipated, were released again as he was fully occupied with assimilating the origin marks within the Sword of Annihilation and couldn't spare his hands, thus he let his clone handle it.

"Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, go!"

The clone sprang up from Sun Wukong's body, and with a thought from Sun Wukong, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod traveled from his Dantian along the meridians to his ear, "swish" flew out and landed in the hands of the clone.

"Ha! Taste my Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod!"

Amidst a sky filled with rod shadows, the clone wielding the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod struck Cultivation Heavenly Venerable fiercely on the head as he charged. The golden light dazzled, and its might shook the heavens. Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, now without the Sword of Annihilation, had drastically reduced combat power.

Sun Wukong's clone, whose combat power was comparable to the original body, had little trouble holding him back.

"You accursed Demon Monkey!"

Furious, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's hands flashed with light as the Demon-Subduing Pestle appeared in his palm. Years had passed since he last used the Demon-Subduing Pestle after he obtained the Sword of Annihilation. Now, he was forced to wield it again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderous echoes of weapons clashing reverberated across the sky while Sun Wukong's clone firmly held back Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, as Sun Wukong himself hastened the assimilation of the origin marks within the Sword of Annihilation.
