47: Chapter 47 Demon King of Chaos: I Don’t Want to Be a Demon Anymore 47: Chapter 47 Demon King of Chaos: I Don’t Want to Be a Demon Anymore In the eyes of the two Bodhisattvas, the formation that Sun Wukong had arranged would certainly be easy to break through, and even if it couldn’t be broken, it wasn’t going to stop them at all.
However, when they entered one formation, they discovered that yet another formation blocked their path.
“It’s actually a series of linked formations!”
Sunlight Bodhisattva slightly frowned, “It’s clearly just a simple confusing formation, yet it turns out to be capable of establishing a series of formations; this monkey has indeed surprised this poor monk!”
“Brother, it’s just a minor formation after all, no need to fuss over it!”
Sunlight Bodhisattva nodded, and then his Divine Sense spread out, quickly finding the weak spot.
Having found the weak spot, Sunlight Bodhisattva directed the Demon King of Chaos towards the entrance he discovered.
With Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas present, the Demon King of Chaos naturally wasn’t worried that these formations could halt his steps.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
The Demon King of Chaos had already passed through countless formations.
From the very beginning, the formations that both Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas could easily see through, but by now, even the two of them couldn’t easily decipher them.
And both of them furrowed their brows involuntarily.
“How many formations has this macaque set up, after all!”
Sunlight Bodhisattva said with a frown.
Moonlight Bodhisattva also frowned, “That’s right, even though we have broken many formations, we still can’t see Sun Wukong’s location.
Could it be that Sun Wukong is still far from us?”
By this time, they were utterly lost in these formations.
“Keep breaking the formations.
This poor monk doesn’t believe it; with our brotherly competence in formations, could we really be inferior to a monkey?”
Even the usually calm and composed Sunlight Bodhisattva now showed some agitation and, with furrowed brows, said.
Sunlight Bodhisattva ordered.
Before long, they encountered another formation.
“This Ten Thousand Demons Death Formation, also a kind of confusing formation that operates with the Gate of Life and Death, would indeed cause immense trouble to someone with little knowledge of formations.
However, for us, it’s nothing.
Sunlight Bodhisattva’s eyes lit up, leading the Demon King of Chaos out of the formation.
Then, they left the formation and entered another, connecting each one, passing one by one.
But after more than half an hour, they began to feel something was amiss.
“Brother, it seems like we’re just walking in circles?”
Moonlight Bodhisattva said with a frown.
Sunlight Bodhisattva’s face took on a solemn expression as he continuously twisted his fingers, then spoke slowly, “We have just passed through forty-nine linked formations, and while there are connections between the formations, these forty-nine seem to have coalesced into a Great Formation!”
“And after entering the boundary, we randomly return to the formation!”
Moonlight Bodhisattva nodded in agreement, “Brother, what you said is correct, that’s also what I feel!”
The Demon King of Chaos had mixed feelings as well.
Although he didn’t want to die, he was indeed frustrated with the formation.
“This poor monk has underestimated this macaque; however, I believe this macaque won’t be able to hold out much longer, and we will surely be able to break this formation!”
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed!
“Brother, I can’t find the way out of this Great Formation, have you found it?”
“Hold on, I will study it further!”
“Brother, have you found it yet?”
The Demon King of Chaos was truly frustrated.
It wasn’t the fear of death that plagued him now, but the question of whether he could even escape.
They had already lost their way in this Great Formation.
No matter which direction they took, it was impossible to leave.
And according to what Sunlight Bodhisattva had said, this Great Formation seemed to be but one link in a chain of countless formations.
These formations were interconnected and fused together; they might never find a way out.
“Elder Brother, why don’t we forcefully break the formation?”
Moonlight Bodhisattva could no longer keep his composure and spoke up with a frown.
“It must not be done, it must not be done.
We are here on a mission to carry out the Calamity of Measurement of the Journey to the West.
If we forcibly break the formation, it will surely attract that monkey’s attention,” the Sunlight Bodhisattva rejected the idea without a second thought.
After all, forcefully breaking the formation would cause a huge commotion, and Sun Wukong would certainly notice them, making the implementation of the Journey to the West even more difficult.
Besides, even if they were not held accountable afterward, if word got out that they, two elders, were trapped in a mountain by a monkey, and couldn’t even get out, how would they ever hold their heads up in the Three Realms again?
Hearing Sunlight Bodhisattva speak , Moonlight Bodhisattva had no choice but to agree and nodded, “Since that’s the case, we shall follow Elder Brother’s lead!”
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the formation, the once imposing Demon King of Chaos now had sunken eyes, and the sparkling luster in his eyes had turned dull and lifeless, with his entire being looking utterly disheveled.
This was the torment of the spirit.
If the Demon King of Chaos was in such a state, the burden on Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, who were responsible for breaking the formation, was even greater.
Their projections had become somewhat dim and lackluster.
Clearly, their true forms were struggling to cope.
“How is it possible, how could this monkey have set up such a powerful formation!” Sunlight Bodhisattva’s fingers never stopped moving as he calculated the formation, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
His gaze still fixed intently on the formation before him!
“It was just a hastily laid formation, how could this monkey transform it into such a formidable one!”
“Could it be that all my previous knowledge of formations has gone to the dogs?”
What was a mere basic formation here now appeared so complex that even he couldn’t see through it.
The projections of both Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva collapsed in an instant.
Clearly, the spiritual exhaustion was too great to sustain any longer, leading to their direct collapse.
Watching Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattva disappear,
The Demon King of Chaos’s emotions grew more complex.
If even these two could not break through the formation, how could he?
Was he to be trapped alive here to die?
After the ordeal of these past few days, the Demon King of Chaos had already given up; had it not been for the presence of Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, he might have already taken his own life.
“After all, I’m just a puppet.
It’s better to die than to be trapped to death.
In the future, I’d rather be a human than a demon!”
He was about to commit suicide when suddenly, a fluctuation from the formation reached him, originating from a corner of the formation.
Without the powerful presence of the two Bodhisattvas, he could sense it clearly.
He looked over instantly, but the fluctuation had disappeared in a flash.
Nevertheless, he stood up and looked in that direction.
Then he heard some chattering noises.
It was… the sound of monkeys.
The Demon King of Chaos couldn’t help but show an expression of wild joy.
