Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 404 -404: Isolation of Star Power (Second Update)

“Investiture of the Gods, extract the power!”

With a resolute heart, the Jade Emperor directly activated the Investiture of the Gods, extracting the power of the deities of the Heavenly Court through the divinities within it and madly injecting it into the Great Formation. He had already perceived that although the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation of Flower-Fruit Mountain was set up according to the River Diagram and Luo Script, the Starlight Banner was not fully refined—it had not yet achieved the true full version of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation. Otherwise, the moment it came into contact, it would have been enough to completely shatter the simplified version of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation he had laid out!

Since it was not perfect, there was still a chance!

“My power! Who is extracting my power?”

“It’s the Investiture of the Gods! His Majesty the Jade Emperor is using the Investiture of the Gods to extract divine power!”

“Has it really come to the point where His Majesty the Jade Emperor is forced to use the Investiture of the Gods to extract divine power? Is the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation of Flower-Fruit Mountain that formidable?”

...

The moment the Investiture of the Gods began extracting power, the immortals without a divinity within the list felt nothing, but all deities listed in the Investiture of the Gods sensed it instantly. The power within them was rapidly being drawn out, whether it was the deities near the battlefield of Flower-Fruit Mountain or those remaining in the Heavenly Court; their power was being swiftly extracted without exception.

The divine power of many deities was extracted by the Investiture of the Gods and funneled into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation. The starlight of the Formation grew much brighter and its power greatly increased, countering the starlight rising from within Flower-Fruit Mountain and stabilizing the Formation’s footing.

“Blocked it?”

Inside Flower-Fruit Mountain, a flicker of astonishment crossed Leng Xuan’s eyes. Just as the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation laid by the Jade Emperor was about to be breached, it suddenly surged in strength and firmly stabilized itself. What was happening?

Of course, it must be because the Investiture of the Gods drew upon the power of the Heavenly Court’s deities, which caused the Great Formation to greatly increase in power!

“Hmph! There are no ends to the Heavenly Dao, but human effort is finite. I want to see how long you can hold out!”

A touch of cold ruthlessness appeared on his face, and a flash of cold light passed through Leng Xuan’s eyes. He continued to operate the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, drawing the power of the celestial stars from beyond the realm through the Starlight Banner, transforming it into starlight and continually bombarding the heavens. With billions of stars and their inexhaustible strength, no number of immortals and gods from the Heavenly Court could compare; they would eventually run out of power!

The bombardment between the two great Zhou Tian Star Formations continued, and urgency appeared in the eyes of the Jade Emperor. Just as Leng Xuan had expected, although he could enhance the strength of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation by extracting the power of the deities in the Heavenly Court through the Investiture of the Gods, the power of the deities was ultimately limited. It couldn’t be drawn endlessly. Sooner or later, their power would be exhausted, and eventually, he would be the one to lose!

Damn it!

A mere Flower-Fruit Mountain—why on earth would it possess a Primeval Ancient Killing Formation like the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation? He truly underestimated Flower-Fruit Mountain in the past, not expecting it to have reached such an extent without his noticing!

Could it be that he really had to resort to that trump card?

A grim shadow crossed the Jade Emperor’s eyes as he hesitated, weighing his options. To deal with a mere Flower-Fruit Mountain by using the foundation of the Heavenly Court—was it worth it? And even if he did use that foundation, he could only break through Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, and, in turn, his own Zhou Tian Star Formation would no longer be of any use either.

To use it, or not to use it?

The clashing starlight continued, and while it seemed evenly matched for the moment, given time, the celestial gods’ strength would deplete and Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation would undoubtedly shatter their own Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation. When that time came, they would suffer a tremendous loss of face!

It seemed that playing their trump card was indeed unavoidable!

Biting the bullet, a pearl colored like the chaos of creation appeared between the Jade Emperor’s brows. If Sun Wukong had been there, he would have recognized it: this was the Chaos Divine Pearl!

There were nine Chaos Divine Pearls in total, each one a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Three combined could form an Innate Supreme Treasure, and nine fused into one was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, its uses boundless!

The Jade Emperor’s Chaos Divine Pearl was drawn from the Ascend to Heaven Platform, using the fortunes of the Heavenly Court as its foundation. Its purpose was to nullify magic spells, that is, to shield against all spell damage. Of course, this was when it was focused on an individual. Should it be powered by the fortunes of the Heavenly Court, it could expand its ability of magic nullification, making it quite formidable. It could sever one or multiple spell powers within its coverage, completely isolating them.

“Chaos Divine Pearl, Absolute Law, Activate!”

Forcing a drop of Heart’s Essence Blood out, the Jade Emperor let it fall onto the Chaos Divine Pearl. The Essence Blood was instantly absorbed, establishing a mysterious connection with the Investiture of the Gods. Divine strength surged from the Investiture of the Gods flowing into the Chaos Divine Pearl.

The Heavenly Court’s fortunes, closely intertwined with the Investiture of the Gods and the God Beating Whip, were what the Jade Emperor now harnessed, using them as the cost to provide sufficient energy for the Chaos Divine Pearl. He unleashed its Absolute Law ability, enveloping the entire battlefield within it, severing the external celestial forces. Thus, neither the Jade Emperor’s Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation nor Flower-Fruit Mountain’s counterpart could draw upon the celestial stars’ energy, and naturally, the formations were undone.

Hum~!

A ripple of power spread out. The Chaos Divine Pearl’s effect of Absolute Law instantly covered a thousand-mile radius around Flower-Fruit Mountain, the whole battle area was enveloped in it. The fiercely clashing starlight suddenly paused. The luminance of stars, both in the firmament and on the ground, dimmed and the starry canopy slowly dissipated, revealing the original terrain and sky.

Both sides’ Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formations disappeared simultaneously!

“What’s going on?”

The Demon Clan of Flower-Fruit Mountain exchanged puzzled looks. They had been watching streams of starlight rise from around them, hurtling towards the firmament, when suddenly the starlight dimmed and the starry veil vanished. The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation couldn’t be activated at all!

“It seems the power of the stars has been severed!”

Leng Xuan carefully sensed the fluctuations of power in the River Diagram and Luo Script, and furrowed his brow. He could feel that there was nothing wrong with the River Diagram and Luo Script itself, but the star banners used to communicate with the external celestial forces could no longer draw the stars’ power. Clearly, this was related to the wave of energy that had just hit.

Leng Xuan looked up at the firmament, where the star formation released by the Jade Emperor had also disappeared, with the sky restored to its previous clarity. The clouds had vanished, leaving only the figure of the Jade Emperor floating high above, with a chaos-colored orb floating in front of him. The ripple from before had emanated from this chaos-colored orb.

“What is that thing?”

Leng Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his intuition telling him that the orb was anything but simple!
