The Vajra pestle, gathering the power of heaven and earth, stretched for thousands of miles and struck Houchen on the back of the head.

The dust cloud was thrown into a dazed state.

Sun Wukong seized the opportunity, grabbed Houchen's head with his right hand and his body with his left, and twisted him forcefully.

Hou Chen's head was twisted off by him, and then pulled out along with his spine.

The horrific scene sent a chill down Pigsy's spine. "Brother Monkey looks too terrifying."

Having lost his head and spine, and severely injured, he said with difficulty, "You ganged up on us because of your numbers; your victory was not honorable."

“Amitabha!” said the Venerable Sunlight. “Great Sage, please allow this humble monk to use the Great Sun Buddha Light to deliver this wicked being.”

Without hesitation, Sun Wukong threw Houchen's head, along with its spine, to the Bodhisattva of the Sun.

The Bodhisattva of Sunlight immediately recited the mantra, and the Buddha's light shone brightly.

The head and spine of the deceased continued to decompose under the illumination of the Buddha's light.

Soon after, its body also disappeared and merged into the earth.

Earth vein vortex formation.

"Amitabha!" Mahasthamaprapta chanted a Buddhist prayer. "Great Sage, now that this matter is settled, we will take our leave."

"No need to see me out!" Sun Wukong knew they were there to gain merit, so he wasn't particularly polite.

His perception of Buddhism is getting worse and worse; they even tricked him into wearing the golden headband.

Furthermore, he also knew where these corpse demons came from; they were definitely created by the Buddhist sect.

I miss my older brother a little.

At this moment, Lin Zhu had stopped condensing the Three Lights Divine Water.

Not long ago, the Tongtian Jianmu tree delivered the Star Fruit to the Tower of Time. "Little guy, this is the reward that old guy Star gave you. Just refine it."

Lin Zhu looked up at the sky and saw that the Star Fruit was actually as big as the Earth.

"Is this for me?"

"Indeed, the star power of this fruit is an excellent body-tempering power. If you are lucky enough to refine it, you can also obtain a divine ability. It all depends on how strong your comprehension is."

Lin Zhu was overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Senior Jianmu."

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately burrowed into the core of the Star Fruit.

The star power within the core of the Star Fruit is extremely concentrated, and the pressure is also immense.

It is called a fruit, but it is not meant to be eaten; it can only be slowly refined.

Furthermore, such a large one would take even a Primordial Realm expert hundreds of years to refine.

The time required for planting bamboo is even longer.

The energy density of the Star Fruit is extremely high; a piece the size of a little fingernail can weigh hundreds of billions of kilograms.

The sheer amount of pressure at its core is evident.

When Lin Zhu's six-zhang-long body reached the core of the star, it was instantly compressed to a size of three inches.

The power of the stars continuously flowed into his body, turning into grains of fine sand that constantly polished his physical form.

In an instant, he felt endless pain.

The greater the pain, the faster his body absorbed the power of the stars.

With the Star Law as a foundation, Lin Zhu quickly comprehended the Star Law while absorbing the power of the stars.

The laws of the stars govern all gravitational forces in the universe.

Even within the laws of celestial bodies, the Pangu Realm can be considered a colossal star.

Its infinite uses can only be appreciated by those who have mastered the laws of the stars.

In the Pangu Realm, the celestial stars also play a role in transforming the primordial chaos energy into innate spiritual energy.

Therefore, the laws of the stars can also transform various negative forces into positive forces, which is equivalent to a kind of purification.

Within the core of the Star Fruit, the more pain Lin Zhu endured, the more he could feel his soul being continuously strengthened and becoming increasingly resilient.

Chapter 1009 Become a Cuckoo

As the power of the stars tempered his body, Lin Zhu's body quickly adapted to the pressure within the Star Fruit, and soon grew to three feet tall.

Correspondingly, physical strength has also been greatly enhanced.

The Star Fruit is no ordinary innate spiritual fruit. In the past, the ancient stars were the fruits of the Star Tree, which evolved over endless time.

Lin Zhu was able to obtain a Star Fruit not only because of the Three Lights Divine Water, but more likely because of Nuwa's influence.

After learning about the power of the Star Fruit, Lin Zhu obviously understood this as well, but he thought it was because of the relationship between Houtu Niangniang and the Tongtian Jianmu.

Within the Tower of Time, a thousand years have passed quietly.

Over the course of a thousand years, Lin Zhu first returned to his original height, and then transformed into a six-zhang true form.

Finally, he used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique and his immense strength to bring the essence of the entire Star Fruit into his dantian.

Thus, he gained a deeper understanding of the laws of the stars, comprehending nearly one-tenth of them.

At the very top of the Qi Sea Dao Platform, a star radiates starlight, continuously purifying Lin Zhu's magical power, making it more refined, and thus able to accommodate more power of laws.

His strength was also quietly increasing, and he had already reached the ninth level of the second realm of laws.

Clearly, this was something the Buddhist community had never anticipated.

Sun Wukong's strength has increased significantly, but this increase is a vertical one, a result of his cultivation level.

However, Lin Zhu's strength increased both vertically and horizontally, and his physical strength became extremely terrifying.

If it were nighttime, with the power of countless stars, and with his own strength plus the blessing of innate spiritual treasures, he might not be unable to contend with a veteran Hunyuan like Guanyin.

As the Tongtian Jianmu watched Lin Zhu refine the Star Fruit bit by bit, he couldn't help but admire him greatly.

The Ziwei Emperor in ancient times also refined a Star Fruit, but because he could not endure the pain, it took eighty-one Yuanhui to refine one Star Fruit. Each day of refining required a year to recover.

Who would have thought Lin Zhu would be so perverted?

Neither the Indestructible Body nor the Chaos Soul Forging Technique are things that normal people can cultivate.

"Little one, I have high hopes for you!"

Jianmu suddenly said this to Linzhu.

Lin Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Thank you for your praise, senior. I have troubled you these past few days."

"No problem, no problem. Just come visit this old man more often in the future, and remember to bring the Three Lights Divine Water."

"Definitely." Lin Zhu agreed with a smile, knowing at the same time that she was about to leave.

The roots of the Jianmu tree connect to the underworld. "That old man will be waiting for you to come next time. Now, let's go."

Lin Zhu was teleported back to the Netherworld.

Immediately afterwards, Houtu quickly guided them to the Hall of Reincarnation.

Houtu reached out and summoned the Tower of Time from his body.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Thank you for your guidance. This time, Little Bamboo has received much good fortune."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Houtu looked at Lin Zhu with extreme admiration in her eyes. "Not bad. You were able to completely refine a Star Fruit in a thousand years. You're much better than that good-for-nothing Ziwei. Come forward and let me take a look."

Lin Zhu stepped forward.

Houtu said, "You are now at the level of a primordial being. Reveal your six-zhang true form."

Lin Zhu did as instructed, and his six-zhang true form manifested, but it was still three zhang shorter than Houtu's innate divine and demonic true form.

It's like a 1.2-meter-tall child meeting a 1.8-meter-tall older sister.

Houtu reached out and pinched Lin Zhu's body, nodding and saying, "As expected of a body tempered by the power of stars, its strength is comparable to that of Xing Tian at the peak of the third realm of laws. Your future achievements will definitely surpass his."

Xing Tian has already reached the Chaos Realm, and those above him must undoubtedly be at the Dao Lord Realm.

Lin Zhu felt a little uncomfortable being held by Hou Tu. "Your Majesty, you flatter me."

"Don't flatter me, it's the truth." Houtu patted his shoulder. "Not only are you good-looking, but you're also lucky. In the future, you'll be able to call me and Nuwa fellow Daoists. Don't underestimate yourself."

Lin Zhu couldn't help but smile from the praise.

Houtu saw through it and said, "But you shouldn't be too complacent. Back then, Xingtian was just one step away from becoming a Dao Lord, but he was too arrogant and in the end he couldn't even keep his head. He only stayed in the Chaos Realm. You mustn't follow in his footsteps."

Lin Zhu understands.

He nodded vigorously.

Houtu couldn't resist again, pulling off his hair crown, letting his black hair cascade down like a waterfall, and then she started to ruffle his hair. "You're good in this respect, you can listen to what I say, unlike Xingtian, who's so stubborn. Oh, right, I have something else to tell you."

Lin Zhu listened intently, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"You should have heard of the Chaos God and Demon," Houtu said. "Just as you, Tang Sanzang, and Sun Wukong set off, a Chaos God and Demon awakened. He will likely cause some trouble during your journey westward, so be careful. If you encounter a formidable opponent, you can seek help from him."

Lin Zhu nodded immediately, "Lin Zhu understands."

Houtu didn't tell Lin Zhuming who she was going to ask for help, but she figured Lin Zhuming would be able to figure it out.

She has to oversee reincarnation, and she can't interfere in the world of chaos. In order not to suffer losses, she can only try to gain more merit for the Netherworld in the Journey to the West.

Originally, she didn't intend to let Lin Zhu get involved directly, but Lin Zhu surprised her too much, directly obtaining one-tenth of the fortune of the Southern Continent.

If God is chasing after her to feed her, she can't just stop Lin Zhu from eating, can she?

It's truly the will of Heaven that's hard to defy.

Lin Zhu then asked, "Your Majesty, which god or demon has awakened this time?"

Houtu's expression was somewhat solemn as she said, "It is the Bewitching Demon God, and the Heavenly Magic Laws of the Pangu Realm originate from its source. From now on, no matter what kind of monsters we encounter, even if they come from the Heavenly Court, Mount Ling, or the Netherworld, we must not hold back and kill them if we can."

In this respect, she truly treats all beings equally.

Lin Zhu nodded again, "I understand."

"Tang Sanzang and his companions are about to arrive in Baoxiang Kingdom. Go and take a look." Houtu opened the reincarnation channel and sent Lin Zhu out.

Lin Zhu was still thinking of meeting the group members in the Samsara Palace!
