Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Tang Sanzang scratched his head, his expression a mix of utter seriousness and goofy adorableness as he replied, "Ah, I'm just bored."

"Pfft!"

Zhen Yuanzi spewed a mouthful of blood in anger.

He had never imagined that his lifetime of glory would end at the hands of someone who was just ridiculously bored!

Seeing the bald man closing in, Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "Baldy, you're forcing my hand! The power of heaven, earth, and man unite!"

Zhen Yuanzi roared, and in an instant, streams of silver, gold, and mystic jadestone qi converged inside him from the heavens and the earth.

The silver transformed into a pair of battle boots, the gold into a battle robe, and the mystic jadestone into a long sword.

After swallowing a pill that emitted an auspicious purple aura, Zhen Yuanzi's injuries instantly healed, and his aura sky-rocketed to its peak state!

Hovering in the air, Zhen Yuanzi waved his left hand towards the void, and his flowing sleeve started to envelop the stars!

"Heaven and Earth in a Sleeve? Goodness, he scooped up a swath of stars—how powerful is that?" Zhu Ganglie recognized this astonishing technique from the Tiangang Thirty-Six Transformations.

Zhu Ganglie knew this move as well, but at most, he could scoop up a few pigs or women—yet in Zhen Yuanzi's hands, it could capture stars and moons, a testament to his terrifying strength.

In the sky, as Zhen Yuanzi retreated, his sleeves fluttered, sending stars shooting towards Tang Sanzang like bullets.

When the stars flew out of his sleeves, they were the size of mud balls, but once they left the sleeves, they immediately expanded. By the time they reached Tang Sanzang, they were complete, whole stars!

How terrifying was the might of stars thrown by a Primordial Realm expert?

In the Earth Immortals Realm, it was enough to destroy mountains and rivers and reshape the landscape!

Yet in front of that bald man, it was a single punch for each star, a slap to send one flying, unstoppable as a hot knife through butter!

Zhen Yuanzi, now desperate, watched as his stars ran out and Tang Sanzang closed in. In a critical moment, he swung his great sleeve, trying to sweep Tang Sanzang into the Heaven and Earth in a Sleeve!

Seeing this, a spark of light flashed in Tang Sanzang's eyes as he swung his fist and roared, "Final Obliteration!"

Boom!

An appalling, pitch-black fist appeared in the starry sky, punching upwards, shattering the void wherever it passed. Strands of black arcs swirled around, spreading a deadly aura.

Even without making contact, Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve already exploded into nothing but airborne ashes!

Facing this terrifying punch, Zhen Yuanzi fought with all his might, hurling thousands of Divine Skills like they cost nothing, but alas… Against that Final Obliteration punch, all the Divine Skills seemed like moths to a flame, not only failing to suppress the Fist Power but even intensifying it!

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's face turned bitter as he thought, "It's over, my life's cultivation might have reached its end..."

In his despair, Zhen Yuanzi looked again at Tang Sanzang, unable to comprehend who this terrifyingly fierce bald man could be. When had such a fearsome being appeared between heaven and earth? This made no sense at all!

Just as Zhen Yuanzi was observing Tang Sanzang, the black arcs bursting from the fist obscured his view, the threads and strands seemingly entwined around the shiny bald head's black hair…

With one look, Zhen Yuanzi's head rang with a thunderous boom, a familiar figure flashed across his mind, and he practically screamed out loud, "Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang, no, not Tang Sanzang, it's Tang Sanzang!"

He truly shouted, but alas, his voice carried through the starry void unheard.

Regaining his senses almost immediately, Zhen Yuanzi sent a telepathic message, "You are Tang Sanzang, not 'Cang' as in saffron, but 'Zang' as in funeral! Senior, I know you, spare my life!"

Tang Sanzang, upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi shout like that, was momentarily stunned, tilting his head to look at Zhen Yuanzi and asked, "You know me?"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken, desperately saying, "I do, I do! Senior, please spare my life!"

"Master, you can't let him off, if you forcefully retract your punch now, it will backlash!" Zhu Ganglie kindly reminded.

Then they saw Tang Sanzang wave his hand and the terrifying fist power dispersed...

The earth fell into silence once again, and everyone's minds crashed...

Everyone had thought that this funeral punch was already the limit of this baldy's strength, but to their dismay, they discovered it was not the ceiling but the floor! This baldy's power was beyond their comprehension; at least they could not fathom just how strong this baldy really was.

In the sky, Zhen Yuanzi also crashed.

It was only when that bald head leaned in close to his face that he came back to his senses, hurriedly kneeling down and bowing, "Junior Zhen Yuanzi pays respects to Senior Tang Sanzang!"

Tang Sanzang scratched his own bald head and said, "Do you really know me?"

Zhen Yuanzi was suddenly at a loss for words...

Tang Sanzang raised an eyebrow, a murderous aura surging in his eyes!

Zhen Yuanzi immediately felt as if death had descended upon him and quickly shouted, "Senior, I don't know you, but I've heard some of your stories and have seen some of your images!"

Tang Sanzang stroked his chin and said, "Oh? So you do have some understanding of me?"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded desperately.

Tang Sanzang's eyes brightened as he said, "Okay then, tell me, what kind of person am I? Hmm... Was I particularly likable in the past? Surrounded by beauties, the persistent kind?"

Zhen Yuanzi blushed at this.

Tang Sanzang said, "Your face is red with envy?"

Zhen Yuanzi coughed dryly and thought, "I'm blushing for you, okay?"

Then Zhen Yuanzi said, "This... You did not seem to be very popular before."

"What?!" Tang Sanzang grabbed Zhen Yuanzi by the collar, spittle flying as he exclaimed, "How could that be? With my looks, how could I not be popular? You little guy better think carefully and rephrase that!"

With a tearful tone, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Although I achieved enlightenment early, during your era, gods and demons were rampant, and mighty beings were everywhere. Back then, I was just a minor cultivator, how could I have had the privilege to be near you. It's just something I heard..."

Tang Sanzang said, "Then the person who said it must have been lying. Ah, you haven't seen me, so how did you recognize me?"

Zhen Yuanzi realized that the man in front of him was quite vain and hard to reason with, so he skirted around the topic and said, "I had the fortune of traveling to Kunlun's White Jade Capital at one point, where I saw you."

"White Jade Capital?" Tang Sanzang looked bewildered.

Zhen Yuanzi said, "The White Jade Capital in the sky, with its twelve towers and five cities. Immortals stroked my head, binding my hair and granting eternal life. The White Jade Capital was the first city of immortality built by humans with the help of the Queen Mother of the West. The first immortal came from within the White Jade Capital... One could say that the White Jade Capital is where the path to immortality begins.

Back in the day, the glory of the White Jade Capital was unmatched, and I followed a merchant up the Western Kunlun Mountains in search of the Dao.

It just so happened to be where I saw you."

Tang Sanzang touched his chin and said, "I was there too? What does that place have to do with me?"
