The Great Sage Slays the Buddha

The one whose soul was scattered beneath the Golden Cudgel was actually the true Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Spirit Mountain stole the heavens and switched the real one for an impostor, letting the Six-Eared Macaque take his place on the pilgrimage and claim the empty title of Victorious Fighting Buddha. But a fragment of Sun Wukong's soul survives, escaping into the rift between the Three Realms. His master, Patriarch Bodhi, is enraged. This sage, who has been hidden from the world for billions of years, resolutely emerges to seek justice for his beloved disciple. He helps Wukong rebuild his divine soul and awaken the power of chaos, setting in motion a revenge against the Buddhas of the Western Heaven. Buddha Tathagata sits calmly on his lotus throne, certain he has everything under control; the Jade Emperor watches coldly, hoping to reap the benefits; and the Old Lord secretly offers his help, delivering a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill. When even Guanyin begins to waver, Spirit Mountain quietly starts to change from within. But this game of chess runs far deeper than anyone imagines. The supreme Hongjun Daoist remains silent, and his stance will decide the final outcome of this conflict spanning Buddhism and Daoism. Journey to the West has ended, the truth has turned upside down, and the grand revenge is only just beginning.
