Supreme Warrior in the City

Looking at Mahakaya stubbornly holding on, the Divine Master’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice, ”Mahakaya, you really are so stubborn!”

Mahakaya bowed his head, clasped his hands together, and said nothing. The Buddha statue behind him had already been mostly dissolved, only a small portion left, but it was only a matter of time before it was completely dissolved.

”Hmph, truly stubborn!” the Divine Master sneered, ”With your strength, if you wanted to escape, this Divine Master might not be able to keep you. But here you are, stubbornly using origin power to block me. Do you think dying slowly is any better?”

The golden Buddha statue behind Mahakaya was, in fact, the origin power Mahakaya had cultivated over many years. Although this power was extremely strong, once consumed, it was thoroughly finished, equivalent to having his cultivation wasted.

Now that Mahakaya’s Buddha statue was mostly consumed, it equated to Mahakaya’s origin power being mostly depleted. Even if he survived today, his future strength would be halved, and retaining thirty percent of his past power would be considered fortunate.

Nonetheless, even so, Mahakaya did not retreat and continued to stand here quietly.

”Knowing it’s impossible yet still persisting—are members of the Human World all as foolish as you?” the Divine Master sneered, ”You can’t stop this Divine Master. Sacrificing your life in vain won’t prevent the opening of the Asura Realm’s stone coffin. Do you think your sacrifice is meaningful?”

Mahakaya finally lifted his head, smiling faintly at the Divine Master: ”Amitabha Buddha, how is it that Divine Master thinks my death is meaningless?”

The Divine Master froze for a moment, unsure why Mahakaya would suddenly say such things. Could it be that Mahakaya had other plans?

However, looking at Mahakaya in front of him, he was indeed at the end of his ropes. The Divine Master needed only to take two more steps, and Mahakaya’s life would be completely finished. In this moment, did Mahakaya have any means of counterattack left?

With doubts in his heart, the Divine Master suddenly stepped forward again, saying in a deep voice, ”Hmph, I’d like to see—how can a dead man still act? Today, I’ll kill you first, then open the Asura Realm. After today, the Human World will completely become a Purgatory. All this, bestowed by Su Yang!”

The Buddha statue behind Mahakaya shrank again, now only one-tenth its original size. Mahakaya himself was almost on the ground, yet he maintained his original stance, smiling faintly: ”Divine Master, you will not succeed!”

”Then I must succeed for you to see!” The Divine Master roared, raising his foot and stepping forward, shouting, ”Die! Who in the heavens or the earth can stop me?”

With this step, Mahakaya’s life would be utterly ended here.

Looking at the Divine Master’s impending step, Mahakaya showed no fear on his face but a smile of relief, as if all his efforts finally bore fruit.

The Divine Master was surprised in his heart, unsure what Mahakaya meant. However, at this point, he only wished to quickly kill Mahakaya and open the stone coffin of the Asura Realm.

Just as his foot was about to land, suddenly, an invisible force held his foot, preventing him from stepping down.

The Divine Master’s foot hung in the air, less than half a foot from the ground, yet he couldn’t step down, no matter how hard he tried.

This situation made the Divine Master himself panic—what kind of force could be so formidable to stop him like this?

Mahakaya also noticed the Divine Master’s situation. At first, he was stunned, then he laughed. He struggled to lift his head, looking in the direction of the Void, and said softly: ”Senior Brother, you came too early!”

The Divine Master’s expression changed rapidly, and he immediately turned his head. At the basement entrance stood a figure, faintly discernible.

This person stood calmly, hands behind his back, like an ordinary person.

However, the Divine Master could sense an immense crisis emanating from this person, a feeling of despair pervading his heart. He knew clearly that if this person acted, he would certainly meet his demise!

Taking a deep breath, the Divine Master said in a deep voice, ”Martial Champion?!”

The newcomer did not answer his question, but quietly looked at Mahakaya, softly saying, ”Sacrificing your life just to draw me out, is it worth it?”

”Senior Brother, you said long ago that you would only come to collect my corpse if I died one day.” Mahakaya spoke, coughing blood and laughing: ”Junior Brother is powerless, unable to stop him, so I could only use such a lowly method to lure you to help. Senior Brother, you came too early, a moment later, and you wouldn’t have broken your oath!”

The newcomer sighed gently and softly said, ”Although our philosophies differ, you are ultimately my Junior Brother. How could I watch you die here?”

Having said this, the newcomer waved his hand lightly. The Divine Master flew backward directly, and Mahakaya flew out of the inner room, landing beside the newcomer.

”A cultivation hard-earned, now wasted by ninety-nine percent, was it necessary?” the newcomer sighed.

”Junior Brother came here with the determination to die. This cultivation was just an external possession. If this place couldn’t be defended, what’s the use of keeping this cultivation?” Mahakaya said softly.

”The Nine Realms were one entity, no distinction between human and ghost. Even if he opened the Asura Realm, so what?” the newcomer said softly, ”Have you forgotten that you are not a member of the Human Clan either; why be so attached to this?”

If Su Yang were here to hear such words, he would undoubtedly be shocked to the extreme. Mahakaya is not even a member of the Human Clan!

”The heavens have the virtue of cherishing life.” Mahakaya chuckled softly, ”The Asura Clan is too cruel, killing countless times. If they enter the Human World, it would surely cause infinite slaughter. Although the Human Clan is weak, they are still life; how can they suffer such an undeserved disaster? Since the Nine Realms are separated, it is divine will; survival of the fittest is ultimately just the law of beasts. Intelligent creatures honor the strong but also respect the weak!”

”I won’t argue these points with you!” the newcomer waved his hand, ”Enough. You are so injured, no need to guard this place anymore, come back with me!”

Mahakaya coughed twice, dryly laughing: ”Senior Brother, Junior Brother has the duty to guard this place; I cannot leave so casually. If there is loss here, Junior Brother can only die to apologize!”

The newcomer was silent for a moment, sighed, ”Enough, enough. Since the oath is broken, breaking a few more rules, so be it.”

After speaking, the newcomer turned to look at the Divine Master and said coldly, ”Get out!”

The Divine Master’s expression changed, angrily saying, ”Martial Champion, you... are you really going to interfere in my affairs? Don’t forget, you are not part of the Human World either...”
