and,

now,

The monkey, fearless and brimming with fighting spirit, had already reached a terrifying level in combat techniques. Every move it made possessed the power to shatter countless stars and intimidate the heavens.

If we consider a one-on-one fight, the monkey is now invincible in the world and has few rivals.

Even monkeys today can barely stand atop the river of time.

However, to put it simply, the fact that the Buddha Tathagata used the entire power of Buddhism to set up such a killing formation is a manifestation of the Buddhist community's accumulated strength over several eras.

With the monkey's current strength, breaking this Ten Thousand Buddha Formation is basically a pipe dream, and there is absolutely no possibility of it.

and,

As the monkey charged through the formation, despite its boundless power, it was completely suppressed and had no hope of breaking through.

Most importantly, this Thousand Buddha Array contains a peculiar power of law that gradually diminishes, suppresses, and even devours the monkey's power.

As time went on, it became increasingly difficult for the monkey to withstand the power of the formation.

Upon seeing this, all the immortals shook their heads and sighed, "The monkey... is finished!"

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation reveals the profound Buddhist foundation. If it can still be broken by a monkey, then how domineering must its power be?

Lu Chuan naturally witnessed this scene, but he did not rush to make a move.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation is indeed powerful; it's beyond what the current monkeys can withstand.

However, so far, we are far from reaching the limits of monkeys.

No rush! No rush!

Although monkeys are born of heaven and earth and have been nurtured within immortal stones for countless years, breaking through realms and attaining sainthood is still too fast for them.

This battle is just right, as it will further solidify the monkey's foundation.

At this time

The Heavenly Emperor watched this scene with genuine concern, "Does the Monkey King's master really not intend to intervene?!"

The Heavenly Emperor was filled with anger. Whether it was because of the Journey to the West or because of his admiration for the Monkey King, he did not want the Monkey King to perish like this. However, he could not interfere in the current situation, otherwise he would really have to help the Monkey King.

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor's expression, Venus naturally understood his thoughts and replied, "Your Majesty need not worry too much. Everything is preordained. The person behind the monkey is helping him attain enlightenment and will certainly not let him perish so easily."

That's what they say, but who can know what the person behind it is really planning?

But at this time, as a subject, if Your Majesty is in a bad mood, then it is natural to offer some comfort.

at this time,

In the chaotic void,

The Buddha's voice resounded, "You impudent monkey, are you still making a futile struggle?! If you realize your mistake now, it's not too late!"

At this moment, even Buddha Tathagata didn't want to go too far. After all, the power of the person behind the monkey reaching such a level in such a short time must be terrifying!

He and the Heavenly Emperor have been practicing Dao and attaining sainthood for countless years, yet they have never known that there are hidden supreme powerhouses in the world, most likely powerhouses from beyond the realm!

Although it cannot be determined, and even the Buddha cannot be certain, whether that person will make a move or not, it is always good to leave room for maneuver, which can save a lot of trouble.

certainly,

Buddha was also wondering why the person behind it hadn't made a move yet.

At this time,

The monkey arrogantly declared, "Hmph! I, Old Sun, have said I've never even known how to write the word 'surrender'!"

Before the words had even finished, the monkey struck again with his staff, this time with even greater power, forcefully dissipating the suppressing force. This, however, greatly exhausted the monkey.

However, despite this, the monkey's fighting spirit only grew stronger.

Upon seeing this,

The immortals were once again in an uproar.

"This monkey is really tough. Would it kill him to back down?!"

"Well, we need to get through this crisis first. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation isn't something you can just set up casually."

"No matter what, admitting defeat in front of such a formidable enemy is not shameful at all!"

"Absolutely! But... that's precisely why monkeys are monkeys—they're admirable and worthy of respect!"

"The point is that it's really not worth it!"

"What's the point of whether it's worth it or not? How many things in this world are truly worthwhile? There's no such thing as worth it or not. Just do what you want to do. Life is short, why not give it a try?"

"Indeed, how many things in this world are truly worth your time? Even if you were immortal, what good would it do? It's all so boring!"

"..."

at the same time,

Even the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in Buddhism showed expressions of admiration towards the monkey.

Such pride, such defiance—thinking back to the beginning of their cultivation, it seems most of them were like that too: a heart set on upholding justice, a heart full of passion.

But... they are no longer the same as before. Their Taoist skills are higher and their cultivation is deeper, but they can never find that heart they once had.

Looking at them now, many of them are Arhats, but the Bodhisattvas are still quite weak. However, when they wanted to descend to the mortal realm, they were all exceptionally talented and outstanding in the path of cultivation.

In a certain region, at a certain point in time, they were people who fit the protagonist mold.

At that time, their goal was not their current position, nor were they driven by any desire for the present situation; they also had ideals.

But... looking back now, the road they've traveled may have been too cruel, their hearts have long since grown cold, and the long years seem to have worn away their former spirit.

It is said that even ten years of drinking ice cannot cool one's blood, but what about them? For thousands of years, they have remained unchanged, so where is their passion now? They are like parasites in this world, only able to continuously drain it.

well!

Suddenly I understood that sentence: it truly represents a great blessing and an incredibly difficult task.

May you return, still a youth at heart!

Looking across the world, how many people are like this, who, after half a lifetime of searching, return still as a youth?

Getting back to the main point,

at this time,

In the chaotic void,

Having received a clear answer, the Buddha frowned and said, "You impudent monkey, if you do not repent later, you will not have another chance."

Upon hearing this,

The monkey, as always, mocked, "Hmph, get lost! And just wait and see, you'll get a beating from my old Sun's staff!"

Want to make the monkey surrender and submit?

The monkey declared that this was absolutely impossible, and that it would rather die than surrender, demonstrating the spirit of a true man and the demeanor of the Jie Sect.

After the monkey finished speaking

The Buddha's expression grew increasingly grim, and a palpable killing intent could be detected.

In a short while,

The power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation is even more terrifying, and it is designed to suppress and kill the monkey.

In this way, the true terror of this great formation was revealed.

At this point, even though the monkey's fighting spirit was still at its peak, its strength was finally starting to wane.

As time went by, the monkey was already at its last gasp.

At this time,

Lu Chuan knew it was time for him to make his move. This situation was a good opportunity for the monkey to hone its skills, and if he delayed any longer, it would damage its foundation.

In an instant,

Lu Chuan's voice emerged from the chaotic void.
