"Sun Wukong, are you seeking death?!"
Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's eyes blazed with fury, his body erupting with spiritual light, his Buddha Flame surging. As he clasped his hands together, a Golden Buddha Seal materialized in the void.
"A mere early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal dares to act so presumptuously before this seat?"
As his angry roar faded, an overwhelming pressure swept out, as if nine heavens' thunder had converged upon him.
He made no effort to conceal his cultivation. The aura of a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal surged towards Sun Wukong like a storm. Heaven and earth shuddered, surrounding rocks turned to dust, and the very void trembled.
However, facing this world-destroying pressure, Sun Wukong didn't even frown.
A mocking smile curved his lips, and he scoffed inwardly:
"Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal? This little bit of pressure is what you call boasting?"
"Compared to my Master, you're not even an ant."
In truth, Sun Wukong had long since broken through to the Grand Unity realm. He had only deliberately suppressed his cultivation to avoid drawing attention.
Now, this Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's ignorance had forced his hand.
"Old bald donkey, Old Sun won't play with you today. I'm done hiding, I'm done pretending!"
"I am also a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
As he spoke, he took a sudden step forward, his spiritual light flaring like a Golden Crow in the sky, the might of the Chaos Demon Ape exploding forth!
A Purple Gold Wheel appeared above Sun Wukong's head, and he stood upon Golden Clouds. An aura, equal to Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's, and perhaps even more potent, rolled out!
"Old Sun is also a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal. How about that? Scared?"
Sun Wukong did not reveal his Grand Unity strength!
At this moment, the sky and earth changed color, winds and clouds reversed, and the void rippled like water!
Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's face instantly turned pale, and he cried out in terror:
"You... you're also a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal? So you've been hiding your strength all along!"
His eyes trembled with fear, sweat pouring down his forehead. He had achieved his realm through elixirs; how could his combat power compare to Sun Wukong, who was born from the Sky-Mending Stone?
"Brother! Quickly come and help! This demonic monkey is incredibly fierce; we must join forces to suppress him!"
He frantically looked up and roared towards the heavens.
The sky churned, and a majestic, sonorous voice descended from the clouds:
"Second Brother, do not panic. Your elder brother is coming to assist you!"
Before the voice had finished, a beam of Buddhist light descended.
An old monk, clad in a Red Gold Kasaya and holding a Jade Pestle, emerged from the clouds. His expression was solemn, his Dharma appearance majestic. It was Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's elder brother—Medicine King Bodhisattva!
He stepped on auspicious clouds and landed behind Sun Wukong, thus surrounding the Monkey King from front and back!
Seeing this, Medicine Superior Bodhisattva's confidence surged, and he mocked loudly:
"Sun Wukong, you cannot escape today! My elder brother, Medicine King Bodhisattva, is also one of Tathagata's thirty-six Bodhisattvas. His cultivation is also at the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. His Buddhist Dharma is profound, and his combat power is extraordinary!"
"Now that you are surrounded by my brother and me, why don't you kneel and surrender? If you kowtow and beg for forgiveness, perhaps I can spare your life!"
Sun Wukong merely sneered, his gaze like a knife as he surveyed the two, his voice icy:
"Are you done boasting? If you are, Old Sun will send you brothers to the Western Paradise together!"
Before his words fell, he took a step forward, and golden light erupted!
BOOM--!
His fist was like a collapsing celestial pillar, its momentum like a galaxy falling!
With one punch, the void trembled, and heaven and earth roared!
Before Medicine Superior Bodhisattva could react, his chest was pierced by an immensely powerful fist, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He crashed to the ground, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, dead on the spot!
"Second Brother!"
Medicine King Bodhisattva's eyes burst, bloodshot, filled with grief and rage as he roared to the heavens:
"Demonic monkey! Take my life!"
He raised his hand abruptly, Buddhist light condensing, preparing to unleash a Buddhist Forbidden Technique.
But Sun Wukong had already leaped up, like a divine dragon emerging from its abyss, resplendent with golden light!
"You won't live either! I'll send you brothers to see Tathagata in the Western Paradise!"
BOOM!!
Another punch, imbued with the eternal battle intent of the Chaos Demon Ape, shattered the nascent shield of Buddhist light belonging to Medicine King Bodhisattva with sheer force!
Medicine King Bodhisattva's face showed horror, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of golden blood. His body flew back hundreds of feet like a tattered cloth, crashing heavily to the ground, his life extinguished!
The two eminent Buddhist monks had thus met their end!
Sun Wukong lightly clapped his hands, a trace of disdain and a cold smile in his eyes:
"Two weaklings dared to run wild before Old Sun? You're pathetically bad."
"Old Sun kills Bodhisattvas from Buddhism like swatting flies!"
He flicked his fingers, threw his head back, and laughed, his divine might spanning heaven and earth.
This was the first time Sun Wukong had personally slain such a powerful opponent, and he had taken down two Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal Buddhas right from the start.
"Heh heh, this Buddhism looks so impressive, I didn't expect them to be so weak!"
Sun Wukong muttered to himself, a surge of heroic spirit filling his heart.
"Next up—time to collect the spoils!"
He stepped into the air and descended, landing beside the corpses of the Medicine King and Medicine Superior Bodhisattva, his gaze burning.
"These are the golden bodies of esteemed Bodhisattvas!!!"
"If Old Sun refines these golden bodies, reaching the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal will be as natural as breathing!"
Sun Wukong's heart blazed with excitement. As he muttered to himself, he bent down to examine the bodies.
The Medicine King and Medicine Superior Bodhisattva were originally a pair of famous brothers in Buddhism. The former had unparalleled medical skills, while the latter was skilled in refining myriad medicines. They had consumed countless heavenly spiritual pills, and their bodies were already filled with immense spiritual energy.
It was said that even a mortal who could bite off a piece of their golden flesh could extend their lifespan by a hundred years and be free from all illness!
"You two have eaten so many spiritual pills and elixirs, you must have treasures on you. Don't let anyone else get them."
Sun Wukong chuckled coldly and, with a flip of his hand, retrieved two storage rings.
His divine sense swept over them, and his eyes immediately lit up!
"Good heavens, this first ring is filled with spiritual flowers and exotic herbs, as well as all sorts of spiritual pills and elixirs! The sheer quantity and quality are so high, even the Imperial Medicine Courtyard of the Heavenly Court might not be as well-stocked!"
Among them were Thousand Year Fire Ganoderma, Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass, Seven Leaf Ice Soul Lotus... and even the legendary Nine Revolutions Purple Gold Pill, capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bone, was present!
"These two brothers, with their hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated wealth, are truly dripping with riches!"
"Now all these treasures belong to Sun!"
Sun Wukong grinned from ear to ear, then extended his divine sense into the second ring.
A moment later, Sun Wukong gasped, his eyes wide with shock.
"Good grief... a hundred Dragon Corpses?!"
Each corpse looked lifelike, dragon scales still intact, blood essence not yet dispersed. Some exuded the aura of thunder, some were deathly cold, and some even faintly emitted dragon roars!
"These... Dragon Corpses are so fresh!"
Sun Wukong's mouth nearly watered. Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow was a top delicacy of the Primordial World, meant only for the enjoyment of powerful beings in the immortal and Buddhist realms!
Moreover, refining these Dragon Corpses would not only temper his physical body but also condense his cultivation!
However, Sun Wukong took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his greed. His expression turned solemn, and he muttered in a low voice:
"Master has shown me the grace of rebirth. I must take a portion of these Dragon Corpses and spiritual medicines to show my filial piety to him."
"Although Master might not care for them... this is Old Sun's token of appreciation!"
His voice lowered at the end, and his eyes, filled with a trace of reverence, gazed in the direction of the Western Ox Continent.
That was where his Master's dojo was, and it was also the eternal faith in Sun Wukong's heart.
"Master, Old Sun killed two Bodhisattvas from Buddhism. You won't blame me, will you?"
Sun Wukong murmured to himself.
