At that moment, Shoraionji Temple had changed entirely, revealing its original appearance.The majestic shrine, ancient temple floating in the air, and pagodas guarded every direction.That giant Buddha statue rising from the ground was none other than the former Buddha of the Siddhartha realm.“Arhats, come forth!”A booming voice rolled through the skies like thunder, resounding through the world.The next second, golden figures with dazzling golden light manifested in Shoraionji Temple. A significant number of arhats then appeared out of nowhere, one after another. Surprisingly, there were five hundred in total.Five hundred arhats!Watching the scene, Alex, Dorothy, and the others’ hearts skipped a beat, and they were dumbstruck.“Hurry up and leave!”Alex shouted and dragged the injured Zendaya and Ynes.The group of people hurriedly retreated into the distance.The god of the Underworld did not stop them. Facing the battle formation displayed by Shoraionji Temple, even
It was not broken at all.Earlier on the sea, the god of the Underworld clearly crushed the Underworld Tomb with two punches. It even cracked open from the middle with countless tombstones shattered and disintegrated, but it now appeared intact before them again.“F*ck!” Alex cursed.That great devil said that he wasn't lying and that everything he said was true. His actions, however, deceived the people. He used his movement to tell everyone that he had crushed the Underworld Tomb and that it was actually just an illusion. He was the god of the Underworld, and the Underworld Tomb was initially something that belonged to him. So, there would be no problem if he tried to disguise it, giving the impression that it had been destroyed from the explosion.“Kill!”Next, a messy battle broke out.Alex and the others retreated again and again.The entire overseas immortal mountain was collapsing and disintegrating.They retreated to the seaside.However, they discovered cracks on land
Riiing!!!Suddenly, Alex felt a stinging pain in his head.The ax within his consciousness was vibrating once more, forming multiple ripples.He saw a ray of light, filled with life, shaking him awake from his chaotic state. The Underworld tomb sent out waves of energy, so mystical that it could control one’s mind and soul. It affected consciousness, turning its victims into puppets for the caster. “Hmm?”“What’s happening here?”“What’s inside my consciousness?”When Alex regained his consciousness, he distinctly felt the ax chopping down onto the lingering energy in his mind. It helped restore freedom in his mind, but the energy wasn’t completely demolished. Hence, he was able to get a hold of it.It was abnormally divine yet still contained some type of unknown energy. Dark and malicious, inspecting it was terrifying enough.Alex’s heart jumped, then noticed that the golden boat headed straight towards the foreign divine mountain. However, the mountain was currently
“What do I do?”“How can I wake them?”Alex scratched his bald head, frustrated and annoyed. He had tried many ways to wake them, yet it was all for naught. Suddenly, he remembered the mysterious ax in his mind. Perhaps, it could release the others’ consciousness with it.Just then, he noticed that he wasn't in control of the ax. It wouldn’t budge at all.He then felt something floating past from above his head. Lifting his gaze, he saw a person… They seemed to be covered in a layer of transparent energy, flying across the sky with lightning speed.“This is…” Alex was surprised. Yet, he only saw more rays of light when he turned around.One… Ten… Dozens of those rays shot through the skies… More and more appeared, making the light even denser. There seemed to be a person in every single ray.Alex could see this clearly now. These people were trialists that gathered this realm, all originating from different corners of the universe. They came to look for the grand opportunity
‘The Soul Collection Coffin?’Alex took quite a while to remember that he did, in fact, have such a treasure in his mind palace. It was one of the three treasures that he received from Ksitigarbha. However, that treasure seemed useless at this point. He had used it to store Anna’s body, as he hadn’t found a way to revive her yet.Thus, he could only explain the truth to Shelly.Shelly raised her head gently, looking towards the endless battle at the divine mountain. She then whispered, “So basically, this is a turning point in her cultivation. This is the Underworld, the best place for her to be revived. The Underworld Tomb certainly has a surplus of soul power.”“So you’re saying the Soul Collection Coffin could help them regain their consciousness. And it could possibly revive Anna?” Alex gasped.Shelly huffed softly, staring back at him cockily.“That’s a precious inheritance from the Buddha. Are you underestimating it a little too much? If it can’t even restore a mortal’s
Every trialist that went in was protected by some sort of bubble.The defense bubble the emperor had prepared explicitly for these trialists to prevent their deaths from the crossfire… He, on the other hand, didn’t have such protection.“As your guardian, so I won’t let you die!”“I’ll use myself to help you!”Shelly’s eyes were persistent, which made Alex notice a type of unwavering determination in her. She added, “The coffin hasn’t absorbed enough energy yet. If you’d like to revive your friend, you have to keep going. So are you going to do it or not?”“Okay then! I’ll do it with you!”“Hmph, don’t think I don’t know what you’re implying. You’re trying to harass me! I’m your guardian, kiddo; stay in your lane.”Boom—Shelly didn’t want to waste any more time, taking action immediately.On the shore, a large ancient bridge popped out of the middle of the sea. It was abnormally big, looming over the divine mountain. The other side of the bridge landed right on top of the
“The Soul Collection Coffin?”The emperor was really surprised to see Alex dragging a coffin over with one hand. He didn’t have such precious Buddhist treasure with him. Unlike him, Alex possessed two of such treasures.‘What in the… Who is the Bodhi here?’The golden fog that the emperor formed was utterly sucked up by the coffin, not leaving a single speck of dust. Under Shelly’s lead, Alex managed to reach the front of the tomb swiftly.He hadn’t been able to observe it from such a short distance, but now that he had, he was still somewhat terrified.The largest tombstone stood tall in the middle as if it were the core of this large graveyard. It was hundreds of feet tall, with tightly-packed symbols all over. None of them were legible, though, so Alex was sure they didn’t come from his location.However, each word and symbol looked as if they had a specific law power within them. Moreover, this large tombstone was surrounded by neatly-arranged graves.Every grave had a
The emperor was furious. “You’re too weak to lock me down!”Boom!A white ball of flames was ignited on every strand of hair. The flames then slid down and were directed towards the iron chains.The emperor clearly wanted to melt the chains of Persephone's Folly Bridge, killing both Alex and Shelly in the process.However, the current Shelly was obviously stronger than before.“Come to me, Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness!”Splash!A large amount of tea fell from the skies, landing on the emperor's flaming hair, instantly extinguishing the fireballs.Even his hair was starting to corrode, releasing green smoke as each strand evaporated into green smoke… The emperor had fairly strong hair; even the white flames couldn’t burn it off. Yet it stood no chance against the Five Flavoured Tea of Forgetfulness.Shelly was merely returning the favor, letting the tea corrode his hair.The emperor's eyes reddened, but could only cut his newly grown hair out of desperation.He howled
