Chapter 266: Piercing the Heavens? The True Power of Saitama!
"Hey, little brother, what's your deal?"
Chen Ye frowned, his tone displeased. "You break free and start attacking everyone? These two are my friends—they went through a lot of trouble to find someone to lift your seal. Even if you're not grateful, you're really going to turn on them too?"
Scolded by Chen Ye, Sun Wukong's face immediately twisted with hostility, his expression ferocious.
"And who the hell do you think you are? You think just because you treated me to a few drinks, you can raise your voice at me?"
Freed from his imprisonment, Sun Wukong was as violent as they came.
He pointed at Chen Xuanzang and said to Chen Ye, "Kill that bald monk right now. Maybe then I'll consider keeping you lot as my pets!"
It seemed Chen Xuanzang was right—after being sealed away for five hundred years, Sun Wukong had lost all sense of reason, knowing only rage and bloodshed.
Or perhaps it was simply the sight of Chen Xuanzang that provoked him, driving him into a blind fury.
Either way, for him to speak to Chen Ye like this meant he had completely turned against him.
"Benefactor, I leave the demon monkey to you," Chen Xuanzang calmly pressed his hands together, utterly unshaken.
Chen Ye sighed and looked at Sun Wukong. "Do you really mean this? Sun Sir, just yesterday, you were talking about becoming my sworn brother."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong burst into laughter. "You, sworn brothers with me, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? You think you're worthy?"
Chen Ye clenched his fist. "Perfect timing. I just had a breakthrough and have a few things I need to test out. Guess you'll do as a training dummy."
Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Sun Wukong looked intrigued.
After being sealed for so long, he too needed a fight to vent his pent-up rage.
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly interrupted them.
It was Young Master Kongxu.
"Mr. Chen, can you let me go first?"
His eyes burned with excitement. "The legendary unparalleled demon king! Since I've run into him, if I don't get to spar, I won't be able to sleep at night!"
Chen Ye thought for a moment before nodding. "Fine, you can play with him first."
With that, he and Miss Duan stepped aside.
Young Master Kongxu immediately took out his wooden box and sat down on the spot.
What followed was a battle that unfolded almost exactly as in the original storyline.
It looked spectacular, filled with dazzling effects, but in reality, Sun Wukong was merely toying with him.
Young Master Kongxu's strength was leagues apart from Sun Wukong's.
Just the monkey's Vajra Indestructible Body alone was something he couldn't break through. Even when he combined all his swords into a massive blade, he failed to leave a scratch on Sun Wukong.
Even the Ruyi Jingu Bang that he seemingly damaged was a fake.
Crack!
As the colossal sword shattered into pieces, Young Master Kongxu collapsed to the ground, dazed and defeated.
The swords he had painstakingly forged—gone.
More importantly, suffering consecutive defeats at the hands of both Chen Ye and Sun Wukong had utterly shattered his confidence.
The once-proud Young Master Kongxu now showed none of his earlier arrogance.
"Not bad! That was quite fun."
Sun Wukong glanced at Young Master Kongxu before saying, "Stay put. I'll make it quick when it's your turn."
With those words, he shifted his gaze onto Chen Ye.
When Chen Ye helped free him, he had nearly cracked Five Fingers Mountain. That alone had told Sun Wukong that this bald man was no pushover.
"Baldy, it's your turn!"
At this moment, Sun Wukong was brimming with battle spirit.
A vast demonic aura erupted from his body, surging into the sky.
Instantly—
Dark clouds of demonic energy gathered, blotting out the sun, casting the land into darkness.
The sky dimmed in an instant.
Chen Ye glanced up. "This weather is annoying. I much prefer a clear sky."
As he spoke—
Poof!
Chen Ye's fist suddenly erupted with searing flames.
In the next instant, he punched toward the sky.
A roaring mass of fire shot from his fist, rapidly transforming into a massive flaming fist mid-air.
As it soared, the fire fist expanded, growing larger and larger until it reached a staggering width of a hundred meters.
With a deafening roar, the colossal fire fist ascended and smashed into the demonic clouds overhead.
A thunderous crack split the heavens.
In an instant, a fiery explosion ignited within the dark clouds, spreading at an astonishing speed.
The entire land was bathed in a crimson glow, and the temperature of the air spiked dramatically.
Within moments, the demonic clouds were burned away completely, and sunlight once again poured down onto the earth.
But that wasn't all.
Everyone soon noticed that the upper atmosphere had been pierced, leaving behind a gaping, fist-shaped hole.
Seeing the devastation caused by Chen Ye's punch, Miss Duan and Young Master Kongxu were utterly stunned.
Even Sun Wukong's expression shifted, his gaze toward Chen Ye turning serious.
For the first time, even the usually unshaken Chen Xuanzang showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
As for Chen Ye himself, he was slightly taken aback by his own attack.
He had initially thought that, at best, he would punch a hole through the demonic clouds, letting sunlight seep through.
Yet, the moment he struck, he felt something profound—he was somehow able to override the planet's gravitational pull, rendering it powerless against him.
Gravity was an omnipresent force in the universe.
And yet, his punch had negated its effects, granting him an unfathomable level of power.
That single strike had unleashed catastrophic force.
Yet he distinctly remembered that yesterday, he hadn't felt anything like this…
Chen Ye's mind flashed back to the dream he had the night before.
"Could this be the power that Saitama spoke of?"
…
"Excellent!!"
Across from him, Sun Wukong's face suddenly lit up with excitement. His sharp teeth gleamed as he grinned. "Baldy, not bad at all!"
Without another word, he lunged at Chen Ye.
Snapping back to reality, Chen Ye wasted no time. He clenched his fist and threw a punch.
A serious punch!
Against an opponent like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he had no reason to hold back.
His fist moved with blinding speed.
With his current strength and absurd velocity combined, the force behind his attack was beyond comprehension.
The very space in front of him twisted and warped under the pressure, fractures forming as if reality itself had been torn open.
Sun Wukong's eyes widened in shock.
In the next instant—
Their attacks collided.
A deafening boom erupted as an overwhelming shockwave burst from the point of impact, sweeping outward in all directions with devastating force.
Miss Duan and Young Master Kongxu were sent flying by the sheer force of the blast.
A golden glow flared around Chen Xuanzang, his Buddhist aura automatically shielding him from harm.
The sound of shattering air followed.
Chen Ye stood firm, unmoving.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong's body shot backward like a bullet, crashing through a distant mountain before finally coming to a stop.
In a contest of raw strength—
Sun Wukong had lost to Chen Ye.
