Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Sun Wukong was very confident in his abilities, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to cause Havoc in Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.

However, Sun Wukong equally understood that in this vast world there were not only many magical treasures but also numerous odd demons and ghosts, all possessing very unique abilities.

If used well, it was not strange at all to defeat enemies of a higher level through restraint, achieving victory despite weaker strength.

Sun Wukong's Cultivation Level was extremely high, already reaching the peak of Taiyi True Immortal, and coupled with the Vajra Indestructible Body, and his natural aptitude, he could even battle with a Great Luo Golden Immortal, as seen in his fight with Master Leizhen.

But Sun Wukong was very clear that if there was anything that could restrain his abilities, Nightmares could be considered one of them.

With no physical form and attacks that also had no material properties, Sun Wukong's Vajra Indestructible Body had no chance to be utilized.

Moreover, worried about Fairy Zixia, Sun Wukong had voluntarily entered the Illusionary Realm created by the Nightmare, which was like willingly jumping into the opponent's trap.

Although he was in the form of his Primordial Spirit, Sun Wukong was still able to take his Jingu Bang to the Underworld when he wreaked havoc there, this flexible Dharma Treasure, which could still be effective even in dreams. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

The Jingu Bang swept continuously, smashing every one of the Nightmare's incarnations, appearing very majestic.

However, all the Nightmares that were crushed by the Jingu Bang could reappear after they disappeared.

Though he seemed majestic, Sun Wukong was actually doing everything in vain.

"Hehehe, not bad, not bad, Monkey, fiercer, keep it up…" Countless incarnations of the Nightmare completely surrounded both Sun Wukong and Fairy Zixia, as all the incarnations spoke together, their voices echoing in layers.

"Hmph, bring it on!" Hearing the Nightmare's words, Sun Wukong was still brimming with energy, not showing any signs of fatigue, as his Jingu Bang continued its formidable sweeps.

In the Dream Realm, this battle lasted three days and nights!

The dense Nightmares seemed endless, yet, Sun Wukong, wielding the Jingu Bang, still appeared lively and vigorous, showing no signs of fatigue.

"This Monkey, he's frighteningly energetic, right!?" Although nearly possessing the ability to restrain Sun Wukong, after three days and nights of battle, there was no sign of fatigue on Sun Wukong, causing even the Nightmare to become startled.

In the usual Dream Realms, Nightmares always enjoyed using this tactic against their targets, simply waiting until the opponent's strength was exhausted, weren't they just fish on the chopping board by then, to be dealt with at will?

But when ordinary people entered the dream, they couldn't last even half a day in such intense combat, let alone three days and nights.

Yet this Monkey had persevered for three days without tiring, which dumbfounded the Nightmare.

Could it be that this Monkey truly never knew exhaustion?

Regarding Sun Wukong, although he had the Vajra Indestructible Body, the Law of Heaven and Earth, the seventy-two transformations, and the agility of Somersault Cloud among other supernatural powers, his true most formidable trait was his terrifying Durability Force.

Unless one possessed the power to completely crush Sun Wukong, defeating him? That was almost impossible.

In the original story, the battle in which Sun Wukong subdued Zhu Bajie showed that their strengths were almost the same, they fought for most of the night, but why was Zhu Bajie eventually caught by Sun Wukong?

Because Zhu Bajie was weary, lacking in stamina, while Sun Wukong remained energetic, which is why Zhu Bajie lost in the end, captured by him!

Perhaps, it was also because of Sun Wukong's seemingly perpetual motion body that even Tathagata had no intention of entangling with him back then, but instead used a ruse to lure Sun Wukong into his palm, eventually trapping him under the Five Elements Mountain.

After waiting for three days and nights in the Dream Realm without seeing any signs of fatigue from Sun Wukong, the Nightmare was not only surprised but also ran out of patience to keep waiting.

"Hehehe, is this all you've got, mere Nightmare? If that's the case, you still want to devour me, I, Old Sun?"

Having fought for three days and nights, Sun Wukong indeed didn't feel tired, but exhilarated, and at the same time, he didn't hesitate to shout at the Nightmare.

"Hmph, Sun Wukong, since you're so eager to die, then I will grant you your wish! Let me show you my true power!" The Nightmare calmly spoke after being taunted by Sun Wukong.

Following the Nightmare's words, countless incarnations turned into puffs of blue smoke and vanished at that moment.

Simultaneously, the entire heaven and earth distorted, completely changing their appearance.

In just a moment, the space between heaven and earth was filled with grand Buddhist chants, as the brilliant and fierce Buddhist Light illuminated all, and looking around, where was this still the sky? He was actually at the Great Thunder Monastery.

"Sun Wukong, do you still recognize me!?" The grand and familiar voice then sounded.

Sun Wukong looked toward the source of the voice and saw a giant face appearing before him. That familiar face was none other than Tathagata.

Glancing down, he realized that he and Zixia were standing in the palm of Tathagata's hand.

"You, Nightmare, have some impressive tricks! Even Tathagata can be impersonated?" Sun Wukong looked around as the scenery changed once again, and he found himself standing in Tathagata's palm, just like five hundred years ago. He grinned defiantly, baring his teeth, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

For Sun Wukong, being tricked by Tathagata and trapped in his palm was a grievance that had been smoldering in his heart for a full five hundred years.

Though he knew all of this was a fabrication, the scene from five hundred years ago was virtually reenacted, and Sun Wukong couldn't suppress the malevolence in his heart, his eyes filled with a violent light as he stared at Tathagata.

"Rascal Monkey, how impudent..."

The Nightmare, transformed into Tathagata, flipped its palm over and pressed down towards Sun Wukong, saying, "Today, I will let you relive the feeling of being suppressed by Tathagata!"

Boom!

With a flip of the palm, the world spun around. Even Sun Wukong found it difficult to resist in this dream world now completely under the Nightmare's control, and Zixia by his side was also pressed down directly by Tathagata's palm!

"Zixia!"

As the palm turned into a massive mountain pressing down, Sun Wukong had been through this before and could bear it, no problem, but the sight of Zixia by his side made his expression change. How could Zixia possibly withstand the weight of such a massive mountain pressing down!?

But when the mountain pressed down, Sun Wukong wanted to rescue Zixia but found it impossible to do so. At that moment, he himself was in no position to escape either.

With a thunderous boom!

Sun Wukong found himself pressed under the Five Elements Mountain once more, unable to move a muscle.

And Zixia? She couldn't avoid it either. As the mountain descended, she was completely pressed underneath.

With Zixia's strength, there was no doubt she would surely die under the weight of this mountain...

"Dammit! I will kill you! I swear, I will kill you!" Pinned under the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong struggled frantically, shouting loudly.

With Sun Wukong's struggling, it almost seemed as if the Five Elements Mountain was about to be lifted by him.

However, the Nightmare, posing as Tathagata, casually placed a Buddhist sutra on the Five Elements Mountain. Immediately, the mountain pressed down even heavier. With a booming sound, no matter how much Sun Wukong struggled, he was unable to escape from the Five Elements Mountain's clutches.

Drip, drip, drip…

At that moment, Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, immobilized, his struggles utterly useless in escaping. Everything seemed to revive the fear he once felt being dominated by the Five Elements Mountain.

However, just then, suddenly, a strange sound emerged. Immediately after, Sun Wukong saw a message sent by his master.

"Wukong, have you found Fairy Zixia? It's been nearly half an hour; why haven't you returned?"

"Master? I've been gone for just half an hour? I've been battling for three days and three nights in this dream world!" Sun Wukong was shocked as he read his master's message, replying back immediately.

Of course, Sun Wukong also explained to Jiang Liu the situation of encountering the Nightmare.

"Nightmare? One that can enter people's dreams and then control everything within? Wukong is trapped under the Five Elements Mountain again!?" On the other side, upon receiving Sun Wukong's reply, Jiang Liu's heart tightened. He didn't expect Sun Wukong to be in trouble.

Considering Wukong's words, the power of this Nightmare almost seemed like a perfect counter to him, much like how the Official of the Sun restrained the Scorpion Demon?

"Out of nowhere, why would Fairy Zixia come to the Lower Realm and encounter a Nightmare? And why does the Nightmare's power happen to restrain Wukong!?"

Understanding Sun Wukong's encounter, Jiang Liu's mind stirred.

Jiang Liu didn't like to be suspicious, but in matters concerning the grand scheme of the Journey to the West, he would consider every incident from a conspiratorial angle.

"Master, what should I do now? I'm trapped under the Five Elements Mountain again! You must come save me! Only you can remove this Buddhist sutra..." But right now, Sun Wukong, trapped under the Five Elements Mountain and in a dire situation, had no time for Jiang Liu to think more about it. At this moment, Sun Wukong was already appealing to Jiang Liu for rescue.

Trapped for five hundred years and still not free, Sun Wukong knew well that he couldn't escape on his own; he needed his master to remove the Buddhist sutra!
