Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Indeed it is."

Sun Wukong nodded, acknowledging that though he considered his Chaos Battle Body unparalleled, he had to admit the thunder above the Gate of Tianque was different from what he had encountered before, enough to wound him.

Getting injured just to pass through a gate seemed impractical. Although entering the Heavenly Que Realm early might offer some advantages, acquiring treasure or even legacy in the realm ultimately depended on one's own strength. What difference would an early entry make?

"Let's wait until Hong Jun and the others arrive, then enter together using everyone's strength!"

Sun Wukong closed his eyes and waited, as did Pangu. Zhao Jun, albeit reluctantly, could only wait as well. Soon, thirty-five strong individuals from one domain of the Four Continents arrived on the platform before the Gate of Tianque.

"Wukong!"

"Monkey King! You arrived so quickly!"

Seeing Sun Wukong already standing before the gate, Luo Bai and others were initially surprised, but soon smiled. They knew Sun Wukong had an extra opportunity to enter early, so how could he be left behind?

"Not entering after arriving, boss, you must be waiting for us? Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

Luo Bai said, lifting his leg to step towards the gate, but Sun Wukong stopped him.

"Don't rush, let others go first!"

"Hmm?"

Luo Bai was somewhat perplexed but, seeing Sun Wukong's firm gaze, suddenly understood and nodded to stop. The others, seeing Luo Bai halted, conjectured silently and stayed put, not rushing to enter the gate.

"A bunch of fools, arriving at the gate yet not entering quickly! If you won't, I will!"

A tall Domain King from the Southern Continent, holding an embellished axe, mocked Sun Wukong and others before striding towards the Gate of Tianque.

Rumble!

"Ah~!"

Thunderous roars erupted, followed by a scream, as the Domain King flew backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily onto the platform, his axe spinning to the ground beside him.

Sss~!

Sounds of chilly gasps arose, watching as the Domain King was struck black all over by thunder, everyone felt a chill creeping up their spine.

No wonder Sun Wukong and the others arrived first yet didn't rush into the gate; they knew beforehand about the terrifying thunder awaiting there!

"Damn it! You knew there was thunder at the gate, didn't you?"

A companion of the Domain King stepped forward angrily, pointing at Sun Wukong, demanding, "Why didn't you say? You deliberately wanted to harm us, right?"

"Why should we say?"

Sun Wukong raised a brow and looked arrogantly at the Domain King, whose fierce appearance was repulsive, "Why should I remind you? Besides, the decision to rush in was his own, who can he blame?"

"You scoundrel! I'll cut you down!"

Angered by Sun Wukong's retort, the Southern Continent's Domain King fiercely swung his blade at Sun Wukong.

"Slash me? I fear you lack the skill!"

Sun Wukong snorted, evading the blade swiftly, and instead charged at the Domain King, his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod glowing, cultivated Chaos Fire releasing, delivering a blow to the Domain King's chest.

"Ah~!"

A scream echoed as the Domain King was struck and flew off the platform, descending like a stone into the void below.

The mighty Domain King was blown back to the Yuan Realm with a single strike from Sun Wukong, not welcomed back by the Golden Great Dao again!

"Goodness! Isn't that overpowered—just one blow and Qiang Ba was sent flying! His strength is too formidable!"

"Even Qiang Ba's quick blade was easily evaded, Wukong's burst of power far surpasses Qiang Ba! If that blow had landed on me, ouch, just imagining hurts!"

"Qiang Ba is really unfortunate, having earned a chance to enter the Heavenly Que Realm, now embarrassed by being sent back right outside the gate!"

"Embarrassment aside, he'll never have a chance to enter the realm again in his life!"

Southern and Western Continent's strong individuals had never witnessed Sun Wukong and Luo Bai's prowess, unlike the astute four from the Northern Continent who kept their silence upon seeing Sun Wukong's close ties, wisely keeping their peace!

Sun Wukong's strength is likely more extraordinary than even the likes of Six-Eared Macaque!

Having dealt with nuisances, Sun Wukong casually stored away the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, turned to Hong Jun and the others, and cast a soundproof barrier encompassing Luo Bai, Divine General Yuan Long, and the Battle God Ape Clan members.

"The gate is enveloped by immense Thunderclap Power; entering safely requires a team of at least five!"

"A team of five, huh?"

The Leader of Tongtian smiled, "With so many of us here, our combined strength can definitely withstand the thunderous strike, no problem!"

"Let's go, Wukong, no need to waste time here."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor glanced at the still-collapsing Southern Continent Domain King, betraying disdain before shifting his gaze toward Sun Wukong.

"Alright, let's resist together!"

Sun Wukong nodded, inviting Divine General Yuan Long and others, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan Mo, Yuan Bing, let's go together! Three alone can't withstand the thunder at the gate!"

"Sure, we gratefully oblige!"

Divine General Yuan Long and Demon General Yuan Mo exchanged glances, agreeing heartily, while Cool General Yuan Bing, despite some stubbornness, eyed Sun Wukong before complying.

"Everyone, raise the Protective Shield, don't hold back, the thunder at the gate is potent!"
