Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 878: After the modification: 770 The Changing Future
Chapter 878: After the modification -770 The Changing Future
Sun Wukong clearly heard the voice of Jingu Bang’s Artifact Spirit for the first time. He had always known that Jingu Bang possessed an Artifact Spirit, but he didn’t know why its spirit had always been weak. No matter how the level of Jingu Bang was raised, the Artifact Spirit seemed to never change, like a newborn baby just gaining spiritual wisdom. This is quite strange, as normal divine weapons can produce Artifact Spirits that increase in spiritual wisdom with their master’s growth. Some Artifact Spirits can even develop strong human-like intelligence.
For example, the Artifact Spirit of Ling Weiyang’s Demon Emperor Halberd not only has human intelligence but can also transform into human form to fight. However, the Artifact Spirit of Jingu Bang seemed to have suddenly grown up all at once. Feeling the intense emotions coming from Jingu Bang’s Artifact Spirit, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel moved. His long-time perseverance seemed to waver. But soon, Sun Wukong’s eyes regained their determination.
Sun Wukong now could be considered defeated, heavily injured, and his combat power reduced by ninety percent. Even so, Sun Wukong could still do something, albeit needing to make some changes. Previously, Sun Wukong had poured all his Five Elements Power and most of his spiritual power into Jingu Bang, which was his last forced insurance measure.
Sun Wukong knew he might not be a match for Primordial Honor, but his goal was not to kill him, but to weaken him. So, as long as he injured Primordial Honor, that would be enough. Therefore, if he was defeated, he would detonate Jingu Bang, using its powerful self-explosion of Five Elements Power to harm Primordial Honor. Sun Wukong believed even Primordial Honor would be injured. But now, Sun Wukong had changed his mind. Of course, he hadn’t given up the idea of critically wounding Primordial Honor but had given up the idea of detonating Jingu Bang.
Just now, Sun Wukong suddenly realized that Jingu Bang was no longer just a simple weapon for killing, but a being with its own wisdom. So, Sun Wukong couldn’t take away Jingu Bang’s right to live. But now, apart from self-explosion, Sun Wukong had no other means. Since Jingu Bang could not explode, the only one who could, was Sun Wukong himself.
Jingu Bang seemed to see something in Sun Wukong’s resolute eyes, and suddenly flashed, pressing against Sun Wukong’s throat. Sun Wukong was startled, and before he could ask, Jingu Bang’s voice sounded again. “Your life is your own choice. Whether to die is your freedom. But if you die, Xi Zhao and Flame God will die too.” Since before Sun Wukong rampaged through the Heavenly Palace, Jingu Bang had always been with him, accompanying him in his rampage and countless slaughters of heavenly soldiers and generals; it had been with him during the five-hundred-year loneliness under Five Elements Mountain; it had accompanied him on his journey to the Western Paradise; it had been with him as he attained sainthood and received an immeasurable body; it had led the Demon Clan into another battle with the Heavenly Palace; it had been with him when he was heartbroken at Tang Sanzang’s tomb, crying endlessly; it had been with him in battles against the Taoist Sect; it had accompanied him in battles in the Netherworld; it had been with him as he rampaged through the Patrolling Celestial World, and now, it had accompanied him to this Fallen Tomb.
It could be said that Jingu Bang was the one who had accompanied Sun Wukong the longest and understood him the best. Therefore, Jingu Bang knew that once Sun Wukong decided on something, any attempts to dissuade him would be futile. Yet, Jingu Bang also knew Sun Wukong’s weakness. Thus, one sentence from Jingu Bang made Sun Wukong abandon all his resolve. Jingu Bang was right; Sun Wukong’s life was his own, but if he died because of the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit, Xi Zhao and Flame God would also perish. This was something Sun Wukong absolutely could not allow, so in an instant, Sun Wukong lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
“In the end, I am still a failure, a complete failure. What I thought was strength was just an illusion. The Great Sage Equalling Heaven is also just a joke!” With his face full of despondency, Sun Wukong sat on the ground, his gaze hazy. “Yes, you are a failure. All who dare to oppose me will eventually fail. Sun Wukong, your existence is not to be a savior but to become part of my eternity.”
Primordial Honor spoke as he slowly approached Sun Wukong. Around the edge of the hollow, many people had gone mad, especially Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon. Tang Sanzang was not as hysterical but showed extreme anxiety. However, in front of them was a barrier that enveloped the entire hollow, set by Primordial Honor to prevent anyone from disturbing his battle with Sun Wukong. Now, almost everyone was frantically attacking the barrier.
To everyone, Sun Wukong was not only a companion but the hope to defeat Primordial Honor. Everyone knew Zhibei’s plan, but now Sun Wukong was about to be killed by Primordial Honor without following the plan, leaving them in desperation. The last hope was about to be shattered, and until Sun Wukong truly dies, they would not give up.
Primordial Honor looked at Sun Wukong, smiled, and was about to say something when Jingu Bang suddenly transformed into a five-colored beam of light and swiftly struck Primordial Honor’s face with a powerful blow. Primordial Honor no longer had the defensive light shield, or rather, he had merged the remaining layers of the shield to cover the entire hollow to block the Divine Nations Alliance. Thus, Primordial Honor was left with only his physical body’s defense. Jingu Bang’s strike hit Primordial Honor’s face directly, causing him to violently turn his head.
