The Buddha's son stared blankly at the scene, seeing Jin Bao'er's cruelty with absolute clarity!
Although he knew that if Jin Bao'er hadn't acted, she might have been the one to die, he still found it hard to accept that someone could be so heartlessly annihilated, with no possibility of reincarnation!
He was a Buddha's son, destined for compassion and mercy!
He understood his responsibility to protect the Upper Realm, but the savior of the Upper Realm was such a killer… this realization made him deeply uncomfortable.
Jin Bao'er paid no mind to the Buddha's son's thoughts. Her power to annihilate a Heavenly Dao King with one hand stunned everyone present!
If they had previously harbored a sliver of hope that the Four Great Protectors were killed through her machinations, that illusion was now thoroughly shattered. Elder Qin's face turned ashen, his gaze flickering uncertainly…
His attention finally settled on the immortal artifact in her hand!
"Fear not, everyone! She merely relies on the immortal artifact; her spiritual cultivation is surely insufficient. Let us attack together!"
With that, he glanced towards the white-robed monks within the formation, who had observed the entire battle in silence, his brow furrowed…
For some reason, he found their robes vaguely familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before!
"Are you all ascetics? Today's matter is a private grievance between my Luo Xian Sect and Jin Bao'er; it has nothing to do with you. As long as you do not interfere, all will be well!"
Perhaps it was due to the barrier of the formation, but his divine sense could not penetrate their cultivation, nor did he sense any powerful aura. He surmised they were likely ordinary monks.
However… he looked at the Buddha's son's face. This monk was too delicate in appearance! Moreover, he was so knowledgeable about the karma of Heavenly Dao powerhouses. Could he be some enlightened master?
The Buddha's son looked at the immense karmic sin emanating from Elder Qin, then at the killing intent in Jin Bao'er's eyes… after a long silence, he said.
"Amitabha, this monk will naturally not meddle in what does not concern him!"
He assumed the immortal lady would not wish him to intervene! But that immortal artifact was indeed formidable! To instantly dissipate souls and spirits, he had never seen such a treasure! He must have misjudged.
As he pondered this, he felt even more distressed! If one could obliterate souls, they would naturally not accrue karma! If the soul was scattered, with no chance of future lives, where would karma come from?
"Hmph!"
Having received assent, Elder Qin immediately withdrew his gaze and thoughts, suppressing his doubts! With a wave of his hand, he signaled everyone to prepare.
In an instant, Jin Bao'er was completely surrounded. The overwhelming pressure of dozens of Heavenly Dao Kings surged towards her, converging into a single point and bearing down upon her…
For anyone else, their bodies would have been crushed to the ground, let alone using spiritual energy; it would have been difficult even to stay alive!
Elder Qin was of the same opinion. Although his previous pressure had been dispersed, he had only attributed it to some treasure Jin Bao'er possessed. But he didn't believe that even dozens of pressures descending upon her simultaneously would be shielded by such a treasure!
In the Buddha's son's Heavenly Eyes, this scene appeared differently…
Dozens of crimson threads shot out from the attackers, hurtling towards Jin Bao'er's body, pushing aside all surrounding spiritual energy, isolating her ability to use it, and then piercing down fiercely!
The woman surrounded in the center curled her lips coldly, her gaze calm. But as the crimson threads ensnared her, her eyes suddenly flickered…
A pinkish-white light erupted from her body!
In the blink of an eye, it consumed the crimson threads entirely. The mighty pressure of the Heavenly Dao Kings had no room to resist, and was instead fed back to Jin Bao'er herself…
He was stunned! His eyes widened, and he vaguely began to understand why Jin Bao'er had become so powerful! But what was that power?!
At this moment, the pale pink power grew, its aura becoming increasingly evident…
The aura of the Great Dao?!
Suddenly, he recalled that Jin Bao'er had used this power to destroy the demon race ten thousand years ago! But he hadn't felt the aura of the Great Dao then?
Who was she?!
As he stood frozen, his mind in a chaotic whirl, a powerful golden light suddenly blazed forth, stinging his Heavenly Eyes with its intensity. A force filled with majesty and boundless expanse surged into his mind, leaving it blank…
The others outside noticed none of this!
Tan Tong was intently observing the battle when he suddenly sensed the Buddha's son's disordered aura. Turning, he saw the Buddha's son's face pale and his body swaying precariously. His expression grew serious, and he reached out immediately, his voice filled with concern.
"Buddha's son?"
The others hurried over. Zhen Tong immediately began to adjust his breathing, channeling immense spiritual energy through his body. His expression gradually became peculiar.
But the Buddha's son could not see anyone's expression. Before him, a vast universe of stars flickered, profound and mysterious! It made him feel so insignificant, like a speck of dust, filling him with awe and terror.
His vacant pupils dilated, unable to reflect even the figures of others, his eyes a void of stillness…
The next second, he suddenly snapped back to reality… he gasped for air as if suffocating, his pupils slowly returning to normal, but the fear in his eyes remained undiminished! Still shaken, he didn't even dare to look up at Jin Bao'er's current situation!
In a mere two minutes, he felt as if he had lived through tens of thousands of years!
No one knew that if he hadn't reacted in time and withdrawn his Heavenly Eyes, he would have been consumed by that vast, immense world.
Jin Bao'er, high in the air, was growing impatient. With a wave of her hand, she directly dispersed the pressure and charged at Elder Qin first…
The others finally realized that Jin Bao'er could truly ignore their pressure. Instantly, their expressions turned grim. If they couldn't suppress her with rank, then it had to be with spiritual energy and strength!
"Clang clang clang!"
The sounds of weapons clashing followed in the sky, and vast swathes of spiritual energy flashed and danced in the air, creating a scene of unexpected beauty!
Simultaneously, several demon beasts of the Heavenly Dao Saint rank were released. Among them, a lion with dark fur charged forward, its gaping maw aimed directly at Jin Bao'er's right hand! Its objective was unmistakable…
With the addition of this swift demon beast, she was unable to attack the person behind her…
They wanted to snatch her immortal artifact, the Soul Reaper, with her hand?!
She sneered, looking at the master of the black lion!
"You want it? Here you go!"
As she spoke, she hurled the Soul Reaper with force, not using any spiritual energy. The others who were attacking Jin Bao'er hesitated for a moment, and the master of the black lion was filled with an indescribable strangeness. Seeing the peerless immortal artifact flying directly towards him…
Greed and excitement made him ignore the unease, and he reached out to catch it!
The others were also covetous, but they were well aware of their mission! With the immortal artifact gone, Jin Bao'er was only at the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Saint realm…
Just as he was about to grip the hilt, the immortal artifact moved! With a fierce rotation, it severed the outstretched hand!
