Chapter 2446: Unwilling to Let Go
Lord Initial Zen retreated quickly with incredible speed. However, above the firmament, those infinite runes seemed to transform into golden lotus flowers at this instant, swallowing up all the Great Paths.
An enormous lotus flower of Six Desires bloomed and swallowing in the direction of Lord Initial Zen, including that gigantic Buddha behind him.
“My young friend, you already have no place to go in the land of Divine Prefecture. Do you want to be hunted endlessly in the Western World as well?” said Lord Initial Zen as mighty as ever, resounding between heaven and earth.
Of course, I don’t want that, Ye Futian thought, but there was nowhere for him to go at the moment. Ever since he came to the Western World, from Great Elder Motian to Lord Six Desires, and now Lord Initial Zen, they all had regarded him as prey or as treasure, something to take for themselves.
This being the case, all he could do was to teach them a lesson and make them pay.
In addition, it was not like he had another choice either. Even if he could let Lord Initial Zen go, would the other be able to reciprocate the courtesy?
This possibility was highly unlikely. If Lord Initial Zen did not die in this battle, he would surely try to take him down and keep Ye Futian firmly in his hold. Who knew what that would be like?
Therefore, killing him was the only way.
The Light of Buddha was burning fervently as a supreme power of Buddhism sprung from Lord Initial Zen. However, the infinite Six Desires golden lotus moved swiftly to swallow it up. In the golden lotus, Lord Initial Zen could see the elusive figure of Lord Six Desires, whose face was horribly distorted. Coupled with immense anger, he was coming to swallow him whole.
In an instant, that enormous phantom of the Buddha began to collapse, followed by a chilling scream. Terrifying golden divine light bloomed like mad as Lord Initial Zen growled angrily inside the golden lotus. Then an image emerged, in which many Buddhist cultivators seemed to have appeared.
There seemed to be a sacred Buddhist mountain, and on a golden lotus seat was a figure bathed in the Light of Buddha. Its appearance was extremely solemn and dignified. There was a holiness that was beyond description.
“Senior brother, avenge me!” Lord Initial Zen howled, then the image disappeared. The Power of Path Obliteration raged wildly, destroying his body as well as his spiritual soul.
Horrific aura rampaged in this space, and it didn’t take long before the body of Lord Initial Zen dissipated into nothing. His soul and spirit dispersed as he died. He disappeared entirely between heaven and earth.
“He’s dead!”
Someone with the status of a Buddhist lord had been slain just like that.
Moreover, he died at the hands of a youngster from Divine Prefecture.
Lord Initial Zen had used those three great lords—his own peers—certain in his belief that he would be the ultimate winner. But in the end, he was tricked by Ye Futian. Ye Futian used the spiritual soul of Lord Six Desires to unleash an even stronger state of the divine body, causing it to burst with an unimaginable Power of Path Obliteration.
In any world, there would not be many existences at the same level as Lord Initial Zen.
Both Lord Ye and Lord Liberty were greatly disturbed in their hearts. They had thought of many possibilities, but never the one in which the body of Lord of Six Desires was totally destroyed and ended with Lord Initial Zen’s death. Furthermore, both of them were severely wounded, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.
All this was so surreal.
Only Ye Futian, after getting rid of the two major threats, Lord Six Desires and Lord Initial Zen, was likely to move forward.
With nothing more than his spiritual soul, Lord Six Desires had no way of posing any threat to Ye Futian.
As they looked at the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, they noticed that the divine light inside the divine body was raging. The divine body was moving frantically on its own. It seemed a little unsteady at times. Both of them looked on with some confusion, but as soon as they looked at each other, they guessed what was happening.
After getting rid of Lord Initial Zen, Lord Six Desires must still have some resentment in his heart, and his spiritual soul now wanted to fight for the chance to seize the control of the divine body.
Or perhaps, Ye Futian didn’t intend to allow the spiritual soul of Six Desires to walk out of here alive?
A faint roar came from inside the divine body, and a terrifying divine light bloomed. Clearly, the two were locked in a confrontation.
Lord Ye and Lord Liberty looked at each other, and there was a hint of greed that flashed through their eyes. But it vanished just as quickly as it had appeared.
At present, even as lords, they needed to pay more attention to Ye Futian. Both of them had participated in setting up Lord Six Desires. This has indirectly led to his body being totally annihilated. Lord Initial Zen was killed mostly because of the powers borrowed from Lord Six Desires.
Ye Futian had made good use of both parties in achieving his own goal. If they were just the tiniest bit careless, they might also be at risk, so they had to be extra cautious. Fortunately, Ye Futian and Lord Six Desires were mortal enemies. If they had formed a true alliance, the next target after eliminating Lord Initial Zen would be the two of them. In that case, they would be in deep trouble.
Obviously, whether it was Ye Futian or Lord Six Desires, they were each plotting against the other and had started colluding. The outcome remained to be seen.
“Do you want to leave him alone?” Lord Ye asked Lord Liberty via voice transmission.
“Wait until there’s a decisive outcome between them, and then we can reassess the situation,” Lord Liberty responded. The problem now was that even if they decided not to move against Ye Futian, it wouldn’t necessarily mean that Ye Futian wouldn’t move against them later.
Both men were trying to regain their strength and ease their injuries as much as possible so they could recover some of their power once again.
Within the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, violent booming continued. It seemed that it would never end. Finally, a growl emerged, “I admit defeat. Let me stay. I can help you.”
This growl was tinged with wretchedness. It was the voice of Lord Six Desires. Obviously, he had fallen into a disadvantage in this altercation. If it was simply a contest between spiritual souls, Ye Futian could never come close to touching Lord Six Desires. However, within the divine body, Ye Futian was its absolute commander and had an undisputed advantage.
Everything seemed to return to where it had all began. Ye Futian, who was currently controlling the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, turned to face Lord Ye and Lord Liberty. “I do not wish to make too many enemies. How about you two elders stop at this point?”
These two great cultivators had both survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Although both of them had been seriously injured, Ye Futian was not sure that he could overcome both of them. As a rule, people at this level must be treated with extreme caution.
“Today’s matter was a misunderstanding in itself. We know that Lord Six Desires restricted your movements without cause. All we wanted to do was help set you free from those chains. We didn’t expect Lord Initial Zen to do what he did. However, since the matter is over, let us be done as well,” Lord Ye replied.
“In that case, many thanks to you both.” As Ye Futian was making his reply, he moved backward carefully. The divine brilliance was still shining over his body. Ye Futian continued to stay vigilant. He didn’t want to risk a fight with these two opponents, but it didn’t mean he would lower his defense.
For these two great lords to declare this was just some type of misunderstanding was ludicrous, to say the least. They were no different from Lord Initial Zen, except that they were not quite as calculating as he.
“Now!” Lord Ye transmitted his voice to Lord Liberty as a terrible rumbling sound came out. The will of the Great Path enveloped this part of the world and hovered over this area. Even if they were severely inju
