Especially when opponents of similar strength engage in a life-and-death battle, it is absolutely forbidden to be distracted, for the victory may be decided in the moment you divert your attention due to some incident. And now, that's exactly what's happening. Sun Wukong became momentarily distracted upon suddenly thinking of the World Within the Artifact, and Tathagata seized that instant beautifully, his figure flashed, and he was already in front of Sun Wukong.
However, Tathagata was indeed bending over, his body almost at a right angle, then his right fist smashed towards Sun Wukong's abdomen. As the Ghost Tathagata, Tathagata seemed to focus even more on relying on physical combat, and both his strength and speed were outstanding. Yet, for Sun Wukong, everything Tathagata did was in vain. Just as that fist was about to touch Sun Wukong, Tathagata's entire body stopped right there, as if time had frozen in that instant.
