Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 229 The Final Battle Begins

"what?"

Sun Wukong looked down in disbelief. In an instant, a torrent of molten lava erupted from the hole Frieza had blasted through the ground with his laser, shooting out like an angry dragon. The land around the hole was rapidly eroded by the intense heat, and the opening began to gradually widen.

Sun Wukong dared not delay for a moment. With a flash, he leaped out of the mountain crevice like an arrow and stood firmly on the mountaintop, watching the churning lava with a solemn expression.

No one had anticipated that Frieza's seemingly casually fired two lasers would possess such terrifying power. Like two indestructible blades, they pierced straight through the earth's surface, penetrating deep into the heart of Namek. The scorching magma, previously imprisoned by the earth's crust, seemed to have found an outlet, erupting forth like a beast breaking free of its cage.

Frieza charged forward against the surging lava. He leaped high into the air, pointing his index fingers directly at Goku. At the same time, his eyes flashed with a deadly light, and he fired laser waves along with his fingers, swiftly attacking Goku.

Sun Wukong retreated repeatedly to dodge.

……

In the distance, Shang Yun and the others witnessed this scene, staring at the spewing lava with shocked expressions. Klin couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on? Why did the volcano suddenly erupt?"

Son Gohan cried out in worry, "Dad!" and lowered his head, preparing to rush over without hesitation.

Seeing this, Shang Yun hurriedly shouted, "Gohan, don't go over there! With your strength, rushing over now will not only not help, but will only make things worse. Believe me, Goku is strong and won't be defeated so easily."

Upon hearing this, Son Gohan froze as if struck by a spell. He stood there blankly, staring at the distant volcanic eruption that seemed like the end of the world, his heart filled with anxiety and worry. Yet, he had no choice but to heed Shang Yun's advice and could only stand there anxiously.

……

Sun Wukong moved with lightning speed, dodging and weaving through the surging lava, which continuously spewed up, attempting to engulf him. Above, Frieza's cold figure hovered, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He once again condensed a powerful energy wave, like a dazzling yet deadly meteor, which crashed down upon Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong reacted with lightning speed, instantly dodging to the side. The energy wave grazed past him and crashed directly into the churning lava below. In an instant, the lava, like an enraged beast, surged skyward with even greater ferocity, forming a massive pillar of fire that blotted out the sun. Sun Wukong hurriedly dodged again, but before he could even recover, he saw Frieza suddenly raise his hands, emanating a strange aura, and forcefully control the sky-filling lava, like a tamed beast, surging towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong looked around and found there was nowhere to hide. A surge of determination welled up within him, and with a roar, he charged towards the sky with all his might. However, before he could even catch his breath, Frieza's ghostly figure appeared behind him. Frieza wore a ferocious sneer and said menacingly, "This time, you have nowhere to run, don't you? Prepare to die!" As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza lashed out with his thick tail, which, like a resilient steel whip, lashed out at Sun Wukong, sending him hurtling towards the lava below.

Watching Goku fall into the lava, Frieza let out a smug chuckle and muttered to himself, "This time, you're dead!"

Just as Frieza was feeling smug, Piccolo's figure sped up from behind him. Piccolo's eyes widened, and he roared, "Suneo!"

Frieza glanced at Piccolo, then turned and said, "Even if you hadn't come, I would have come for you! This time, I'll make you suffer a terrible death!"

So, did Sun Wukong actually fall into the lava? The answer is, of course, no. Very close to the lava, Sun Wukong, with astonishing reflexes and strength, clung tightly to a protruding boulder. Hanging in mid-air, looking down at the churning, scorching lava, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Thank goodness, I almost fell in! If I had, I would have been dead!"

But as soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the magma seemed to be reignited by a mysterious force, erupting suddenly, and scalding lava surged forth like a raging wave. Seeing this, Sun Wukong panicked and frantically climbed upwards.

Frieza looked at Piccolo and sneered, "Ready?"

Just as they were about to make their move, the lava behind Frieza erupted again without warning.

Frieza's expression changed drastically, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Above the erupting lava, Sun Wukong was clutching his backside, yelling at the top of his lungs, "It's burning me!" His face was contorted in pain, and his once bright eyes were now squinted into narrow slits.

Just as Sun Wukong relaxed slightly, the magma beneath him erupted again without warning, surging towards the sky like a furious dragon. Sun Wukong reacted swiftly, shouting as he stretched out his hands, instantly conjuring dazzling energy waves in his palms that illuminated the billowing smoke around him.

Immediately afterward, Sun Wukong manipulated the energy waves, fiercely clashing with the erupting lava. The energy waves collided with the lava, producing a deafening roar. The powerful energy waves, like an invisible yet resilient force, gradually squeezed the lava downward. Under the influence of this force, the lava was slowly forced back into the earth, stirring up large clouds of dust. As the lava was suppressed, the surrounding seawater rapidly poured in, coming into contact with the scalding lava and instantly producing a large amount of thick smoke that filled the entire space.

Seeing that the lava had finally stopped erupting, Sun Wukong wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

Just then, Piccolo's hoarse roar suddenly came from behind: "Goku, watch out behind you!" Goku's heart tightened, and before he could react, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind. It turned out that Frieza had appeared behind Goku like a ghost at some point, a ferocious sneer on his face. He suddenly swung his tail, like a thick steel whip, lashing out fiercely at Goku with a whooshing sound.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's muscles tensed instantly, unleashing a powerful aura as he charged forward. Frieza's tail, brimming with immense power, swept past him with a whooshing sound, but only managed to swirl through the air.

Sun Wukong traced an arc through the air, landing steadily on a nearby mountaintop. His posture was upright, his robes fluttering in the wind. He turned, his gaze sharp as he looked at Frieza, and said in a firm and confident voice, "I won't fall for the same trick twice!"

Sun Wukong exuded a fierce aura, his eyes wide with anger as he stared intently at Frieza, and roared in a voice like a bell: "Frieza! You'd better not be too arrogant on someone else's planet! What if you destroy the planet?"
