Outside the Journey to the West World.
Thanos was facing off against Hongjun, but as the Journey to the West story began to unravel, hairline cracks appeared in the Journey to the West World.
Hongjun's expression changed at once.
In the next instant, he knew what had happened.
"How could this happen?"
He looked at the Purple Big Guy before him and immediately understood the cause.
"You're behind this!"
Thanos smiled without answering. Annihilation Power surged through him and seeped through the cracks into the Journey to the West World.
"Damn it!"
Hongjun cursed, and his own power began to surge.
A stream of luminous white energy tore through space and time, killed countless members of the Black Order, and hurtled toward Thanos with the force of a thunderbolt.
A faint smile tugged at Thanos's lips.
"Taotie Law!"
He spread his arms, and all that luminous white energy poured into his body without harming his Avatar in the slightest.
Hongjun's face fell.
"The power of a law! How is that possible?"
A moment later, he painfully cut off the flow of energy and reinforced the World Rampart to keep Thanos out.
That brief clash had told him that Thanos's True Body might be weaker than him, but he had no way to kill someone who wielded the Taotie Law.
His only option now was to keep the enemy outside.
Inside the Journey to the West World.
Sun Wukong traded a few blows with Guanyin, but his strength soon gave out, and she forced him onto the defensive.
For the past five hundred years, he had eaten almost nothing, surviving on spiritual power alone. Naturally, his strength had declined again and again.
The slaughter five hundred years ago had also diminished his Heavenly Dao Merit, so it was no surprise
