Chapter 505: Star, Twilight (5)

[Ruyi Jingu Bang]

This great divine relic, wieldable only by chosen <Supreme Light’s Faces>, was made to keep the order of the universe, preventing anyone from flaunting their power before its majestic presence. It was also known as the preferred weapon of Sun Wukong and King Wu.

“He shall exert his will where light can reach.”

‧ Type: Great Divine Relic.

‧ Effect: Infinite Length Increase. Infinite Weight Increase. Infinite Sealing.

[Darkness Jade]

<Dull Darkness> cut this great divine neidan from his ring finger and gave it to his student when he won his favor. Containing the purest <Darkness>, it offers versatile utility. As an ingredient, it can increase the grade of a relic. When used as a neidan, it will guide its owner to the path of an Outer Celestial.

‧ Type: Ingredient. Great Divine Neidan.

‧ Effect: Infinite Growth. Infinite Elevation. Infinite Transcendence.

Chang-Sun gulped as he read through the Effects of the two items that <Dull Darkness> had given him, surprised that the word ‘infinite’ was used with such ease. Although it was likely because the items symbolized two Emperors, Chang-Sun still found them burdening.

[The Effects of the Trait ‘King of All Weapons’ cannot be applied because the item’s grade is too high!]

[The Effects of the Trait ‘King of All Weapons’ cannot be applied because the item’s grade is too high!]

...

Although Chang-Sun had always been able to tell an item’s characteristics and how to use it, he couldn’t do the same with these relics. Hence, he had no idea if he could even put them to good use.

After clashing with the fake Sun Wukong’s Replicated [Ruyi Jingu Bang], Chang-Sun came to a realization.

‘I can win.’

Ooong, ooooong!

‘The [Ruyi Jingu Bang] is responding nicely.’

The [Ruyi Jingu Bang] seemed to be wholeheartedly helping him accomplish his desire to stop his opponents.

[The ‘Ruyi Jingu Bang’ recognizes you as its new owner!]Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m

[You have been rewarded with the ability to open ‘Fiery Eyes of Truth’ for as long as you’re using your ‘Ruyi Jingu Bang.’]

[Opening your ‘Fiery Eyes of Truth’!]

Woooosh!

Chang-Sun’s eyes glowed golden. Fiery Eyes of Truth was what allowed Sun Wukong to see the truth of those before him. With its help, he beat everyone in <Heaven>, earning him the title of the Great Sage of Heaven's Equal even though his previous title was only Stone Monkey.

[Your ‘Fiery Eyes of Truth’ and ‘Foretelling Eye’ have similar Effects.]

[Your ‘Fiery Eyes of Truth’ and ‘Foretelling Eye’ have been merged, increasing the efficiency of your ‘Foretelling Eye.’]

[The level of your ‘Foretelling Eye’ has increased!]

[The level of your ‘Foretelling Eye’ has increased!]

...

Wooosh!

With his heightened Inferno Sight, Chang-Sun glanced behind him. “You okay, Teacher?”

Confused, Mephistopheles stared at Chang-Sun. 『What in the world happened to you?』

He was certain that the man before him was his cheeky student, but Chang-Sun looked entirely different for some reason.

“I was simply lucky.”

『Have you found my master?』

“<Dull Darkness>? Yes, I have.”

With his left hand, Chang-Sun tossed the [Darkness Jade] in the air.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Spinning like a top, the jade created a huge whirlpool of <Darkness>. Mephistopheles couldn’t help but be amazed. The fact that Chang-Sun had the <Supreme Light>’s relic was already surprising in itself, but he had also earned the favor of Mephistopheles’ master, whose personality was the most difficult to handle in the universe.

『Is he alri—!』

Chang-Sun returned his focus to the opponents in front of him. “I’ll tell you everything later. We should kick out these uninvited guests first.”

Thuuuuud―!

After imbuing his legs with a great amount of strength, Richardus darted toward Chang-Sun like a menacing cannonball, a [Blood Sword] made of his own blood in his hand.

Chang-Sun crossed [Gungnir] and the [Ruyi Jingu Bang] to block Richardus’ [Blood Sword] while also locating Sun Wukong, who had vanished.

Claaaaaang!

[Gungnir] and the [Blood Sword] clashed, sending a shockwave and lightning sparks in every direction. However, Richardus clearly lost that collision.

“I knew it... The one who destroyed my Terminal in R’lyeh is...!” Richardus murmured.

“It was obviously me.”

Shock filled Richardus’ expression. His suspicion was right. Having believed that their martial prowess was at least equal or even superior to Chang-Sun’s, he had never expected Chang-Sun to overpower him like this.

Seemingly reading Richardus’ mind, Chang-Sun scoffed. He then closed in on him.

Paah!

However, Sun Wukong suddenly showed up behind him and launched an attack toward his nape. Chang-Sun lowered one of his shoulders and turned around, clawing the ground with [Ruyi Jingu Bang] before striking Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong exploded on impact, leaving behind a white strand of hair.

‘He’s using his clone technique.’

According to legend, shapeshifting and his clone technique were Sun Wukong’s favorite Bians.

Behind the ruined clone, more Sun Wukongs appeared and attacked Chang-Sun.

Although Sun Wukong’s overwhelming power alone could’ve made him the Grand Heaven in Worldline #801, his legion of clones, which were just as strong as he was, was the real reason he had been deemed worthy of such a position.

After all, considering how powerful he was, his cloning technique essentially allowed him to summon hundreds of people who were at the Nine Heavens’ level. Hence, he got the position unchallenged.

Sun Wukong found it unfortunate that he could only use his technique for a short period. Nevertheless, having the option to bombard an enemy with a barrage of powerful attacks for even just a split moment provided him with a great advantage in combat.

Sun Wukong had resorted to that tactic. With his hundreds of clones, he would subdue Chang-Sun and destroy Thanatos’ Sanjiva.

Chang-Sun bit his lower lip. ‘If I can just launch stronger attacks...!’

Firing Rádĭus Duskfall attacks infused with his upgraded <Supreme Sacred Light> and <Darkness> wouldn’t be enough. Sun Wukong had more experience as a <Supreme Light’s Face> and had higher-level <Myths>.

Chang-Sun only had one option left.

‘I have to simultaneously destroy him and all his clones with everything I got.’

Fortunately, Chang-Sun had his gifts with him.

Chang-Sun shoved Richardus away and then disassembled [Gungnir]. “Undo.”

With the [Twilight Spear] in the center, the four slayer swords and several other weapons from the [Omni-Weapon Chest] pierced into the ground. Chang-Sun grabbed the [Ruyi Jingu Bang] with his right hand.

Realizing what Chang-Sun was trying to do, Richardus yelled, “Stop hi—!”

“Come again.”

Before Richardus could finish shouting, Chang-Sun swung the [Ruyi Jingu Bang] at Sun Wukong and his clones. At the same time, the [Darkness Jade], which was orbiting him, glued itself on the tip of the weapon.

Due to their contrasting natures, the two great divine relics reacted against each other, causing them to tremble profusely. Just as they began to look as if they would crumble down, Chang-Sun quickly harmonized their energies the same way he did with <Duskfall>.

Ziinnng―!

Once the two items began to resonate, everything else proceeded smoothly. Similar to when he had built [Gungnir], the other weapons in the [Omni-Weapon Chest] merged with the [Ruyi Jingu Bang], which was fused with the [Darkness Jade].

Click, click!

Thud! Thuuuud―!

The [Twilight Spear] integrated itself into the center of the [Ruyi Jingu Bang], serving as the spear’s handle. At the same time, the four slayer swords melded together, turning into a spearhead.

The spear was so thick that it looked more like a blunt weapon.

Pzzz―!

Everything happened in a flash. The tip of the spearhead released a pool of golden light, which then quickly turned into runes that contained the <Myths> of ‘Divine Twilight.’ The upgraded [Gungnir] and ‘Divine Twilight’ then completely assimilated with each other, strengthening his Rádĭus.

“Roar.”

Grrrrrrr―!

As [Gungnir] roared, Rádĭus bolts swept away Sun Wukong’s clones.

Rumble, rumble, ruuuummmble!
