Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

The several Garudas were also red-faced with embarrassment. They had arranged everything meticulously by calling in old favors from the Western sect, finally forging a path to the East. They intended to take advantage of the journey to the West to formally set foot in the Central Divine Continent and greatly promote Buddhism.

However, before they could even start, their scripture seeker was replaced.

This was a loss that was utterly devastating.

Master Zhenyuan chuckled for a while and then, waving his hand, said, "Alright, no need for any more distress; I'll take care of this matter now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhenyuan was about to say something else when his face suddenly changed!

Master Zhenyuan immediately began calculating with his fingers, but all he faced was Chaos—nothing could be discerned. However, he could feel that something had gone wrong with the Ginseng Fruit Tree, to which he was blood-bound!

Thinking of the fake Tang Sanzang's arrival at Wuzhuang Temple, he knew without calculating that a major disaster had occurred!

"Audacious fiend, how dare you!"

Master Zhenyuan roared and vanished into thin air...

Leaving the six Garudas utterly perplexed, none of whom knew what had happened.

But since they had already made the journey, they felt they ought to at least take a look, so they rode clouds and mist towards Mount Longevity.

...

Meanwhile, Qingfeng and Mingyue returned to their quarters but could not fall asleep.

After all, losing the fruit was no small matter.

Tossing and turning restlessly, they were unable to sleep and simply got up to chat. As they chatted, they walked out of their room and upon lifting their heads, found themselves in the Ginseng Fruit Garden...

Upon seeing the garden, the two were dumbstruck!

"Ah! The Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

The two let out a piercing scream, clutching their heads and becoming utterly dazed, unsure of what they were shouting or calling out—just screaming their lungs out in utter distress...

Just then, a voice came through: "Qingfeng, Mingyue, where is the Ginseng Fruit Tree?"

In a moment, a figure appeared before them.

The two did not even have time to speak, immediately kneeling on the ground and crying out as if pounding garlic, "Master, you have returned! The Ginseng Fruit Tree—it's gone!"

Master Zhenyuan didn't need them to say anything; he had already seen it!

Looking at the Ginseng Fruit Tree, which had uprooted itself and was devoid of spiritual energy, Master Zhenyuan's face turned as black as coal: "Was it that fake Tang Sanzang's doing?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue were stunned again: "Fake Tang Sanzang? Was that monk we encountered not Tang Sanzang?"

Realizing the complexity of the matter, they did not dare to hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened. However, the magnitude of the incident and Master Zhenyuan's unprecedented fury made them too nervous to reveal everything.

They only reported that Tang Sanzang and his group had bullied them, stolen the fruits, and even threatened them when they went to reason with them, resulting in their Spirit Roots being pulled out.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhenyuan burst into a furious rage, his beard quivering!

Yet he did not act rashly but calculated again with his fingers.

Alas, just as before, with yin and yang reversed, he failed to discern anything at all.

Seeing Master Zhenyuan calculating with his fingers, Qingfeng and Mingyue were also greatly frightened, worrying that their deceit might be exposed.

But realizing that Master Zhenyuan might not have discerned anything, they exchanged glances and saw the same wary thoughts in each other's eyes.

Thus, they added fuel to the fire and slandered further: "That Tang Sanzang, from the moment he entered, never considered us at all. Not only did he not bow in the great hall, but he also insisted on buying our Ginseng Fruits with two copper coins! Out of respect for Master's arrangements, we gave him two, but he then said our Ginseng Fruits weren't tasty, too disdainful to eat, and that only pigs would eat them!"

Mingyue immediately added, "That Sun Wukong was no better, a complete hooligan. Knowing we had Ginseng Fruits, he directly collaborated with his companions to steal them. When we confronted them, that Tang Sanzang threatened us, saying they had no money to pay us and we couldn't beat them if it came to a fight!"

Qingfeng continued, "That Sun Wukong took advantage of our inattention and even pulled out our Spirit Roots! Then he even said that even if our very capable master returned, he would not be afraid!"

Hearing all this, Master Zhenyuan was so enraged that his beard exploded outwards, his robe vibrated, and the Divine Power within him burst forth with a thunderous sound, rising into the sky as a column of azure light reaching up into the clouds!

The terrifying pressure swept in all directions...

Not only did the column of light gather five spiritual energies and manifest three blooms, but bunches of azure lotus flowers also bloomed, and a precious tree bore fruits that resembled babies, swaying in the wind!

That was the Ginseng Fruit Tree, transformed from the Primeval Dao Fruits of Zhen Yuanzi!

Zhen Yuanzi, grim beyond compare, said, "The Ginseng Fruit Tree was a Spirit Root I obtained when Chaos had not yet unfolded, born of the same source as I, achieving my Dao Fruits today. They are as dear to me as my own kin. To think they dared to destroy my Ginseng Fruit Tree, this enmity is irreconcilable!"

Having said that, Zhen Yuanzi disappeared into thin air, chasing after Tang Sanzang and his companions.

Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance, both seeing the terror in each other's eyes.

Having followed Zhen Yuanzi for so many years, they had never seen him so infuriated before!

...

Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi's imposing aura, Sun Wukong knew they faced a formidable enemy, but he wasn't cowed and leapt into the air, shouting, "Who goes there?"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Sun Wukong and said, "You monkey, instead of properly escorting Tang Sanzang, you've been fooling around with some evil demon. You had a proper Dao Fruit and yet sought your own doom! Enough said, it won't help, you'll first join my Ginseng Fruit Tree in burial!"

Zhen Yuanzi was truly enraged, and attacked immediately!

From his elevated position, his huge hand stretched out as if it covered the skies, slamming down with force, shaking heaven and earth!

Sun Wukong cried out in alarm, "Fall back!"

At the same time, Sun Wukong stomped his foot, his armor shattered, and he transformed into his true form—a gigantic black monkey with a ferocious face, towering tens of meters tall!

Sun Wukong roared repeatedly, his body kept growing higher and higher, a hundred meters, a thousand meters!

The massive palm descended along with him!

Boom!

Upon clashing with the palm, a terrifying shockwave swept all around, dust billowing, wherever it passed, mountains crumbled, and rivers flowed backward, the horror was unmatched!

Amidst the dust, Sun Wukong was pinned under that giant hand, roaring continuously, yet unable to lift it off!

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie bellowed, "Zhen Yuanzi, you mustn't bully us too far! Take this from ol' me!"

Zhu Ganglie raised his Nine-Toothed Rake and smashed it down onto the hand.

Sha Wujing, silent as usual, swung his spade and followed suit!

Yet Sun Wukong shouted, "Go back, run, find Master!"

"Run? Just with you lot?"

Zhen Yuanzi scoffed disdainfully, pressing down harder!

Boom!

The ground shattered! Experience exclusive tales on empire

Sun Wukong was smashed halfway into the earth, while Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse all spat blood and split open!

Seeing his brothers in imminent peril, Sun Wukong's eyes bulged in rage, bellowing, "Rise up!"

In his roar, Sun Wukong's eyes turned blood-red, and his fur turned a blood-red color too!

More accurately, Sun Wukong strained himself so intensely that all the capillaries in his body burst open, spraying a mist of blood, dyeing his fur red...

"You think you can kill me?"

Amidst his roaring, Sun Wukong unleashed all his latent powers and managed to push the giant hand back with sheer force!
