Xu Xiao can use the Power of Variables, and so can the monkey!
Xu Xiao has already broken through to the Daluo. To advance further, he needs an enormous amount of Power of Variables, which is impossible to accumulate in a short time. It would be better to lend a hand to the monkey.
An infinite Power of Variables surged into the monkey's body, easily altering cause and effect!
In an instant, the monkey that had transformed into a stone ape was enveloped in a burst of golden light!
Countless fragments of time and space flowed back like a galaxy—the monkey spirit who first grasped the Golden Cudgel on Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Havoc in Heaven Great Sage Equal to Heaven Ling Xiao who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the lonely prisoner under the Five Elements Mountain five hundred years, the Victorious Fighting Buddha smiling on the lotus throne of Spirit Mountain...
Furthermore, figures of monkeys from various timelines and worlds, all bearing the name Sun Wukong, gathered around him.
These monkeys, whether laughing and joking or lively and agile, all share one thing in common: they are all fearless and daring to fight against nature!
The myriad worlds manifest, all converge into one, this is the Daluo!
"Destruction precedes construction! Douzhan is a battle of wits!"
"My will never give up! Douzhan heaven and earth!"
The stone ape roared, and the figures around it disappeared one by one, all of them being absorbed into its body.
Each self from different timelines is brought together, and his own aura surges by 10%, making his already imposing Dao of Battle even more magnificent.
He naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death. Since he was Douzhan Daluo, he naturally wanted to advance in battle.
Stone Ape gripped the Divine Staff of Battle tightly with both arms, wielding it to create dazzling staff flowers, the staff shadows layered upon layer, as if about to smash open the Void.
The charging White Elephant was violently smashed away, its massive body dented and its sharp tusks chipped.
The Green Lion, who had just gotten up, was pinned down by the monkey, who then rained down the Divine Staff of Battle on it, causing the great Green Lion demon to howl in agony.
"Exhilarating! Exhilarating!! This is the Dao of Battle!" Wukong roared to the sky, and his figure Dharma Heaven and Earth, grew three times larger.
The stone ape's true form shattered mountains, its staff's shadow like a dragon stirring up Wind and Cloud.
Let alone two Golden Immortal Peak Buddhist Sect, even if a Buddha at the Daluo realm were to arrive in person, he would be intimidated by the imposing presence of this peerless stone ape.
With a single wave, the head of the Green Lion beneath him was smashed into a pulp, turning into a headless lion. The White Elephant beside him tried to escape, but the stone ape, enraged by the beating, twisted off its head.
So violent and ferocious, it had the air of a peerless demon king.
Fortunately, Xu Xiao had corrected his monkey nature since childhood. Although he was violent and fierce at this moment, he did not have any demonic or evil aura. Instead, he exuded a God of Battle recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
" Wukong! Now is the time! Concrete your fruition and break through the barrier!" Xu Xiao shouted from the side, while increasing the input of Power of Variables.
This is the final crucial step. Only by taking this step can the monkey ascend to heaven and become a carefree and unfettered Daluo Golden Immortal.
Upon hearing Xu Xiao's reply, the towering stone ape stood holding the Divine Staff of Battle, a brilliant Dao seed quietly sprouting deep within its Sea of Consciousness.
Sun Wukong from countless different timelines Flash, then shouted in unison, "Break through the barrier! Break through the barrier!"
The fates of those monkeys from different times and spaces intersected at this moment, then twisted into one and merged into the Great Dao of Douzhan.
Subsequently, the already perfected Dao of Battle resonated with the stone ape, appearing to have a much greater impact than Xu Xiao's breakthrough.
The two are attracted to each other. The monkey proves the Great Dao with its own body, and the Great Dao also solidifies into one, preparing to merge into itself, ascend to the Daluo, and transform into Eternity.
The Great Dao solidified, transforming into a golden, real point of light that fell towards the monkey's figure.
"You wicked creature, cease your arrogance! You still dare to dream of attaining enlightenment!!" The clouds suddenly parted, and golden light, accompanied by Buddhist chants, descended.
Lingji Bodhisattva appeared, standing on a lotus platform, his Flying Dragon Treasure Staff about to smash down on the monkey's head.
Xu Xiao, standing to the side, was not surprised at all, and immediately raised his hand to swing his sword.
"We've been on guard against you bald monks for a while now. You're indeed treacherous and cunning, always trying to take advantage of others in these kinds of situations."
Xu Xiao, who was well-versed in the Dao of Cause and Effect, had long suspected that Buddhist Sect would cause trouble at this crucial moment.
Unlike him, the monkey's breakthrough was driven by Power of Variables and achieved in an instant, leaving no one able to react and stop him.
The monkey represents Xu Xiao's use of Power of Variables to accelerate the process of perfecting his Dao of Battle, and it also represents his gradual integration with other forces in the myriad realms. Buddhism cannot simply stand by and do nothing.
At this moment, Lingji Bodhisattva appeared and made his move; everything was within Xu Xiao's calculations.
As a magical weapon of Lingji Bodhisattva, the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff is naturally infinitely powerful. If it were to strike the monkey who was breaking through the barrier, all previous efforts would be in vain.
Fortunately, Xu Xiao's sword strike carried a strong sense of danger, almost a warning of Dao's demise, preventing Lingji Bodhisattva from unleashing this attack.
Lingji Bodhisattva could only withdraw his staff and defend, using his Magic Power to withstand the sword strike.
"Buzz~~"
The staff hummed incessantly, and the Daoist Magic Power wrapped around it was rapidly dissolved by the Power of Variables, like snow meeting the blazing sun. Lingji's figure was also repelled.
One sword strike sent a chill down Lingji's spine, and he finally understood why Guanyin had been injured; the power of this strange Great Dao was truly extraordinary.
"Not bad, you blocked it pretty quickly. I thought you were determined to drag Wukong down with you, even if it meant your own demise." Xu Xiao's eyes swept over Lingji, his words full of sarcasm.
If even a bodhisattva in the Western Sect lacks the resolve to sacrifice themselves, then the entire religion is probably full of opportunists.
"You..." Lingji's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Who would be willing to risk the very existence of the Great Dao by truly risking their life?
Even if he is a Bodhisattva of the Western Sect, his cultivation is his own. Even if it concerns the entire Buddhist Sect's plans, he cannot abandon himself to hinder Wukong's attainment of enlightenment.
After all, whether one would perish if struck by Xu Xiao was uncertain, but damage to Great Dao and the collapse of one's position were inevitable. Who would dare to gamble?
Ignoring Xu Xiao's sneer, Lingji instead began to righteously rebuke him. " Xu Xiao! This is a trial by fire in the Journey to the Journey to the West. You protectors of the Dao should know your destiny..."
" The Green Lion and White Elephant are part of the journey to the Journey to the West. Stop immediately! Don't jeopardize the grand plan of the Journey to the West. This is the will of Heavenly Dao; if we go too far, no one can bear the consequences..."
"Training?" Xu Xiao's eyes turned cold. "Using Skin-Form Curse to alter the bodies of a nation's people as training? Using the guise of the Buddhist Sect calamity to set up a killing trap as training?"
He drew his sword, pointing it at Lingji's brow, his voice booming through the heavens, "You bald monks of the Buddhist Sect, do you still think you can fool the world with the word 'calamity'?! Lingji! I have already calculated that the root of this Skin-Form Curse is related to you, yet you still dare to use the name of training to argue your way out of nothing!"
"How stubborn!"
"Today, with this sword, I will slay you, this bodhisattva, and see if the Daluo is truly indestructible!"
Xu Xiao leaped into the air, his entire body surging with an indescribable Daoist aura.
Lingji's face turned deathly pale, and the lotus platform beneath his feet transformed into light as he attempted to flee. "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! This humble monk will immediately report back to Buddha..."
Too late!
Xu Xiao's sword light shone like a rainbow, and the Great Dao of Variables unfolded with a roar, directly locking onto Lingji's Daluo Dao Fruit.
"Spare me..." Lingji's causal lines suddenly tightened, and before he could even utter a word of pleading, the sword had already grazed his neck.
The head rolled off, Lingji's eyes were filled with disbelief. "You... you actually dared to slay a Bodhisattva..."
Golden blood of Buddha was splashed like rain, the headless corpse stood stiff in mid-air, and the Buddha's light was gradually Oblivion.
Xu Xiao's Great Dao of Variables crushed Lingji's Daluo Dao Fruit, and the variable even reversed his cause and effect, as if he had never ascended to the Daluo.
However, unless one is Daluo Immortal, there is no such thing as being indestructible through countless calamities; one can be beheaded with a single sword strike, and one's Dao Fruit Oblivion.
Xu Xiao rolled up his sleeves, held the head in his hand, and said, "You're nothing but a mere Daluo Immortal. It's time for you to repay the debts you incurred."
The Buddha head, with its kind and benevolent expression, was unable to answer Xu Xiao's question at this moment.
A Buddhist Sect bodhisattva was blown up in an instant, and this time the feud between Buddhism and Buddhist Sect was brought into the open and irreconcilable.
