Continuing west, the Sanzo party are climbing a nearly vertical cliff face. During their cruel rock climbing, a band of demons attack. The party fends off the demons and reaches the top, only to be greeted by numerous vultures.

Goku continuously tries to see Nataku to tell him his name, but is refused every time. Tenpou and Konzen talk about Nataku's true origins and how Goku's existence may be a threat to Li Touten.

Goku's true power is revealed and Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou are deemed traitors for protecting him. With no other choice, the four make a run for it and try to get Goku safely down to Earth before any harm can come to him.
