Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 516: The Strange Giant Meat Worm (Second Update!)
Chapter 516 -516: The Strange Giant Meat Worm (Second Update!)
The gravity was the same as before, still ten times that of the outside world, but it no longer affected Sun Wukong; after all, he was no longer the small Earth Immortal he used to be. Even the restriction against flying, if Sun Wukong fully activated the Chaos Primordial Force to counteract it, he could still levitate briefly.
Unlike the first time he had arrived here, back then he only felt that this Borderlands region was desolate, seemingly filled with an aura of deathly silence. Beyond that, there appeared to be nothing special about it. But now it was different; Sun Wukong could clearly sense that the space around him was filled with fragments of the Heavenly Dao Laws.
“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!”
With a thought, Sun Wukong activated the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes and, indeed, saw specks of light dispersed all around him, incredibly small. These were the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Laws.
There were all sorts of these Heavenly Dao Law fragments, laws of various properties, extremely minute and fragmented. These free-floating fragments of the Heavenly Dao Laws were what all cultivators dreamt of acquiring; absorbing and refining them could complete the deficiencies in one’s own Great Dao, thereby allowing them to comprehend higher-level Great Dao Laws.
The unique characteristic of this land was well-known throughout the Three Realms. However, from ancient times, besides seeking treasures, no one dared to come here to absorb these Heavenly Dao fragments. That’s because these Heavenly Dao fragments were mixed with a large amount of chaotic energy. To absorb them directly into one’s body without being refined, rather than being able to absorb them, it was more likely that the conflicting energies would cause one’s meridians to go awry, or even worse, explode the body and result in death!
Even the Heavenly Dao Saints wouldn’t specifically come here to absorb the Heavenly Dao Law fragments. After all, although the Heavenly Dao Saints had attained saintliness by Proving the Tao, they had only achieved the Great Achievement Realm in certain laws, and did not master all laws. They were likewise unable to neutralize these chaotic strengths.
However, this was truly not a difficult task for Sun Wukong!
He opened his acupoints to allow a few free-floating Law fragments near his body to be absorbed, along with several strands of chaotic energy. Once these energies entered Sun Wukong’s body, they began to clash violently, spreading out in all directions in an attempt to destroy his body. But they were immediately suppressed by the Chaos Primordial Force.
Wrapped in the Chaos Primordial Force, these chaotic energies were like encountering their nemesis. After struggling left and right for a few moments, they were unable to break free from the Chaos Primordial Force and gradually quieted down. They no longer struggled and were rapidly assimilated and absorbed by the Chaos Primordial Force.
“My Master was right; this place is indeed my Blessed Land!”
Sun Wukong was secretly delighted, but he did not become complacent. Before coming here, the Puti Patriarch had repeatedly reminded him that the Borderlands were fraught with danger and must not be underestimated. A place that even the Puti Patriarch considered to be full of crises couldn’t possibly just be as calm as it seemed at the moment.
Calmer waters often conceal the most treacherous undercurrents!
There’s a saying that good omens often fail to materialize, while bad omens never fail to occur. Just as Sun Wukong thought about what terrifying dangers might exist in the Borderlands, danger immediately befell him.
The yellow sands of the desert beneath him suddenly began to shake violently without any warning, in just an instant. Several enormous cracks, unfathomably deep, appeared on the ground, and a massive creature burrowed up from beneath.
“What a huge meat worm!”
The creature that emerged from underground was a meat worm tens of thousands of feet long, covered in oozing mucus and large swaths of sand. Its mouthparts were full of sawtooth-like sharp teeth, looking extremely disgusting and terrifying.
The key thing was the aura emanating from its body; it was a monster of Quasi-Saint level!
“A giant meat worm with basically no spiritual wisdom, only knowing slaughter and destruction, yet possessing Quasi-Saint level cultivation—would anyone believe it if it were told?”
A hint of shock flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes. The crises that the Puti Patriarch spoke of were indeed not an exaggeration. He had barely entered the Borderlands and had already encountered such a monster!
“Thank goodness I didn’t encounter such a monster back then, or else old Sun would have been done for!”
In the aftermath of his shock, Sun Wukong also felt immensely relieved. The first time he entered The Borderlands, he hadn’t met a monster of the Quasi-Saint level. Otherwise, with his strength at that time, he’d have had no chance of even escaping!
But now, well, such a monster couldn’t make him back down!
His eyes blazing with golden light, he exerted his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to their fullest. Sun Wukong scanned the giant meaty worm from top to bottom, only to frown, finding not a single vulnerability in its body!
Does this mean I can only fight it head-on?
The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod appeared in Sun Wukong’s hand, one end suddenly growing thicker and longer as he smashed it down hard on the giant worm. It was like hitting a ball of cotton, totally ineffectual, and the rod even rebounded back to him.
“Is this beast’s body so soft?”
Unconvinced, Sun Wukong struck the giant meaty worm several more times with unrestrained force. But each and every hit was repelled without exception, failing to inflict the slightest injury. The monster’s physical body was too formidable, like the properties of rubber, able to withstand all sorts of powerful blows without a scratch. Such an opponent was indeed a headache!
“Old Sun doesn’t believe he can’t handle a Quasi-Saint monster like you!”
Stubbornness flared in Sun Wukong, and with a low roar, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod was wrapped in the raging Chaos Fire. The Heaven-Breaking Domain spread out, enveloping the giant worm within.
“Draw! Break for old Sun!”
With a thunderous shout, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, carrying the force of Heaven-Breaking, struck the giant worm once more. This time, the worm seemed to sense the threat. It didn’t just let Sun Wukong hit it wildly as before but reared up, aiming its mouth at Sun Wukong and suddenly spraying a stream of sticky fluid. The spittle turned into numerous droplets hurtling towards Sun Wukong and partly towards the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod.
“What’s this, a spitting attack?”
The Chaos Fire on the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod flared up mightily, blocking the incoming viscous fluid and burning it to ash amid sizzling noises. However, quite a bit of the fluid got past the Rod’s defensive sphere and hit Sun Wukong, landing on top of his Protective Primordial Force Barrier.
Sizzle~!
A grating sound followed, and Sun Wukong’s Primordial Force Barrier was corroded by the fluid, leaving several large and small holes that gave Sun Wukong a fright.
His Primordial Force Barrier was formed by Chaos Primordial Force. Given its property to assimilate various energies, the fact that it was corroded by the worm’s viscous fluid, opening gaps, was substantially unprecedented!
What kind of energy did this fluid contain, that it could even suppress the Chaos Primordial Force?

While his mind was filled with shock, Sun Wukong’s hands didn’t remain idle. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod continued to hammer down fiercely onto the body of the giant worm.
