Wukong's extraction process went fairly smoothly.
After all, Chihoumahou was already dead, and its corpse had been suppressed by the Eight Desolations Domain Suppression Tower, so none of its essence had dissipated.
More importantly, the origin essence within the cauldron was resonating intensely with the Lingming Stone Monkey origin essence inside Wukong's body.

It was battle in its purest,
