As Tang Sanzang's figure vanished, the scene inside the grand hall completely collapsed.
Lu Ming wondered in his heart if the formation had already been broken.
But when he finally saw the scene before him clearly, he was instantly dumbfounded!
He stood at the peak of a mountain, though without any of that “looking down on the world from above” grandeur.
He found himself standing atop a mountain peak, the wind blowing his hair and causing his robes to rustle loudly.
He looked every bit like a king of the mountain!
However, Lu Ming did not care about any of this.
Because right across from him, two massive golden pillars came into view, nearly blinding his titanium-alloy eyes.
Lu Ming's breath caught, and a surge of wild joy welled up inside him.
“I'm rich, I'm rich! These two golden pillars must be worth a fortune!”
Then, he remembered that he was now a cultivator.
These worldly gold and silver things were basically useless to him now!
But from the bottom of his heart, he really did love these worldly treasures!
Taking them back to the sect to use as ornaments would still be extremely pleasing to look at!
In his excitement, he couldn't help but look up to see how tall these golden pillars were, and if he could carry them back home.
But the moment he raised his head, he froze!
As his gaze traveled upward, he saw a colossal figure slowly manifest.
Its massive body was so tall that it practically filled the entire sky.
A round, giant golden head, resembling a blazing sun, towered high above the clouds.
Lu Ming couldn't help but curse in his heart.
“Damn it, those aren't golden pillars at all! Those are the thighs of a golden giant!”
The giant wore a gilded, off-the-shoulder Buddhist robe, and on his lower half was a pair of giant golden boxers, exposing his thick, long golden legs.
No wonder Lu Ming had mistaken the golden giant's thighs for golden pillars.
Any ordinary cultivator would have been shaken to their core upon seeing this massive golden figure.
Yet, far from showing any fear, Lu Ming merely muttered to himself:
“What on earth did this guy eat to grow so massive?”
He looked up at the giant Buddhist monk, unable to help swallowing hard.
Standing before this giant, he felt as insignificantly small as a tiny ant.
But what was the point of this? Was this a size comparison contest?
The problem was, even if he used his own Law-Manifesting Heaven and Earth technique, he wouldn't be anywhere near as large as this guy!
Could he even win in a fight?
As Lu Ming pondered, the giant golden monk opposite him looked down at the ant-like Lu Ming and spoke:
“I am the Vajra Buddha. Are you the one who found someone to defeat the Clear-Minded Dharma Debate Buddha in a debate?”
The deep, booming voice echoed through heaven and earth, making Lu Ming's head buzz!
“Keep your voice down! I can fucking hear you...”
Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head and yell back!
At the same time, he also learned that the old monk from before was called the Clear-Minded Dharma Debate Buddha.
The massive Vajra Buddha was also taken aback, clearly not expecting Lu Ming to be so bold as to say such a thing!
But what surprised him even more was that while many people had challenged this formation over the years...
As the formation Buddhas, they had never encountered anyone who could defeat the Clear-Minded Dharma Debate Buddha so quickly...
And defeat him so utterly that his Buddhist heart had almost collapsed...
Although Lu Ming didn't know what the Vajra Buddha wanted to do, he still replied:
“Yeah! I'm the one who got the Candana Merit Buddha to defeat that old monk. What, do you want revenge?”
“No... Monks prioritize compassion, and the four elements are all empty. How could this Buddha hold a grudge? I only require you to use the strongest fighting Buddha in your heart to battle me...”
The Vajra Buddha's voice boomed once more. Although it was still deafening, it was much quieter than before, so Lu Ming's head didn't buzz as violently.
It was already much softer than the last time, and his head wasn't buzzing as severely anymore!
Hearing the Vajra Buddha's words, a sharp light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he asked for confirmation:
“Are you sure it's the strongest fighting Buddha, and not the strongest eating Buddha...?”
The Vajra Buddha: “...”
What? Is he looking down on me?
“Yes, the strongest at fighting!”
“Alright then!”
Having confirmed this, Lu Ming closed his eyes and began to visualize his appearance...
Seeing Lu Ming's actions, the Vajra Buddha's heart stirred slightly. Could there really be a Buddha in this world who was better at fighting than him?
Impossible!
As the strongest fighting Buddha of the Ancient Buddha Sect back then, he had left a wisp of his imprint to merge into this formation. No one should be able to defeat him...
Just then, he suddenly widened his massive eyes.
Then, he couldn't help but burst into loud laughter:
“This is the strongest fighting Buddha in your heart?”
Because as Lu Ming visualized, he saw the figure of a golden monkey wearing a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, donning a Golden Chainmail Armor, wearing Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Boots, and wielding a massive staff.
From that wild and untamed appearance, no matter how one looked at it, this didn't look like a Buddha at all, did it?
Not to mention, it was a monkey!
He then pressed his palms together and said:
“Amitabha. What a sin, what a sin. Benefactor, are you sure this is a Buddha?”
“Yes!”
At this moment, Lu Ming opened his eyes, looking with satisfaction at the figure he had visualized in the void.
Then, Lu Ming straightened his back, pointed at the figure in the void, and shouted proudly and loudly:
“This is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven... Sun Wukong!! Welcome, Great Sage, manifest your divine presence!!”
After shouting those blood-pumping words, Lu Ming quickly took out an image stone. He had to record this moment!
So he could show off when he got back!!
Boom!
As Lu Ming's voice fell, the entire sky shook violently, and the vast sea of clouds surged wildly like boiling water.
A wild, untamed battle intent surged forth, instantly shattering the Vajra Buddha's divine pressure.
The Vajra Buddha's massive face was filled with sheer horror:
“How is this possible? You are not a Buddha at all, so why can you be manifested here...?”
One had to know that this formation could only manifest those who were Buddhas.
By now, Sun Wukong's phantom in the void had completely solidified.
The Golden Cudgel trembled slightly in his palm, emitting a continuous buzzing sound as the air all around was whipped into a raging storm.
Sun Wukong squinted at the glaring Vajra Buddha before him.
A wild, unbridled sneer curled at the corner of his lips.
“Bald ass, relying on your cultivation to bully a junior? Are you looking for a beating?”
With just one sentence, Lu Ming's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
The Great Sage in his heart truly never disappointed, no matter the situation or circumstances...
Next, Lu Ming watched as Sun Wukong swung the Golden Cudgel in his hand, bringing it down hard toward the Vajra Buddha.
“Impudent...”
The Vajra Buddha roared in anger, raising his massive palm to press down on Sun Wukong.
Wherever the giant palm passed, the air melted from the scorching heat, and even the surging clouds were crushed into a vacuum.
Boom... Boom...
Their auras collided violently, and the Vajra Buddha shattered inch by inch.
Lu Ming's eyes widened. “Holy shit! So fierce...”
He knew Sun Wukong would be powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this ridiculously fierce!
That wasn't all. The moment the Vajra Buddha shattered, the entire scene broke apart as well.
Everything before him began to dissipate. At the same time, he thought he saw a figure coughing up blood and flying backward.
However, he couldn't bother with that and instead looked toward the dissolving figure of Sun Wukong!
“Great Sage!”
In his daze, Lu Ming seemed to see Sun Wukong turn back and smile at him!
Before completely fading away into the void.
