Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1366 - 802: It’s Your Turn to Step In

Chapter 1366: Chapter 802: It’s Your Turn to Step In

Even if they were reluctant, the Bodhi Sect couldn’t keep stalling forever; someone had to step onto the stage.

This debate land seemed to have transformed into a path to the underworld.

The monks who came forward found themselves in a dilemma: whether they attacked with all their might or stood still in hesitation, they ultimately couldn’t escape that breathtaking sword strike.

What Shen Yi had done clearly enraged all the Great Freedom Bodhisattvas.

And the influence of this act on the great tribulation was far from over.

Apart from that patch of yellow cloud, the remaining sect disciples engaged in duels gradually noticed that something was amiss.

Even when the monks had the upper hand, they dared not hold back in the slightest, for who knew if the cultivator before them was emulating Tai Xu True Monarch, deliberately feigning weakness, and lying in wait to take their life with a single strike.

Once the seeds of suspicion are sown, they are hard to retrieve.

If they don’t utterly defeat the opponent, they will never find peace.

None of them are second-rank Great Freedom individuals, with only one life to gamble on the thoughts of others.

"Too much bullying!"

Under such aggressive pressure, the cultivators originally unable to rival the monks had no choice but to adopt a life-or-death stance to protect themselves.

The previously serene East Sumeru Space suddenly became filled with a rich, murderous intent.

Not just where Shen Yi had intervened, but gradually in other places as well, disciples began to fall. Once casualties emerged, regardless of the opponent’s strength, every duelist assumed a stance as if facing a formidable enemy, and their actions became increasingly ruthless.

"..."

Until a fellow disciple from the same sect was severely wounded, Li Shan stepped onto the stage. Facing a monk far weaker than himself, who clearly appeared sorrowful yet attacked him with the ferocity of a cornered beast, Li Shan’s heart skipped a beat.

The ferocious expressions of the Bodhi Sect disciples, as if they would devour someone, stirred up an intense killing intent that made him involuntarily shiver, and instinctively he unleashed a Spiritual Treasure to obliterate them into nothingness.

A faint scent of blood filled Li Shan’s nose, his outstretched hand frozen mid-air, his fingertips trembling imperceptibly.

Their original intention was indeed to avenge their fellow disciples. When Li Shan first arrived in the East Continent, he had also slain this group of bald monks, but the feeling then was entirely different from now.

He inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

Recalling the past, he pondered why he had advised You Yao not to act impulsively, hoping to mediate the rift between her and Senior Brother Shen Yi. Wasn’t it because of the fear that one day the great tribulation would devolve into mutual slaughter?

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to dissuade anyone, leading Senior Brother Shen Yi to unwittingly lay down the seeds of disaster for You Yao.

The scene before him was so similar to that time.

Senior Brother Shen Yi’s intentions were still good, seeking justice for fellow disciples, but the resulting impact... made the situation increasingly uncontrollable.

Li Shan was not alone in noticing these signs; how could the elders of both sects not perceive that something was amiss?

However, on one hand, many disciples had already fallen, and numerous Golden Immortals and Great Freedom Bodhisattvas watched their own disciples perish, their emotions already stirred. If not for the four first-rank giants sitting in control, they might have long wished to enter the field themselves.

The remainder, those who remained sober, found themselves somewhat at a loss.

This situation was not without a solution.

Ultimately, the root of the problem lay with that chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect.

To resolve it, they merely needed to ensure he couldn’t control the outcome of duels so effortlessly. In simple terms, if a disciple with sufficient strength could not surpass him, they only needed to avoid being toyed with and, at the very least, save their own life.

The Tribulation Power would eventually be exhausted, and by using a round-robin strategy, they could suppress this troublesome individual, allowing the remaining disciples to be gradually soothed.

The issue now was that no one had survived under that sword, not even able to glimpse Shen Yi’s true depth, leading the capable Bodhi Sect disciples to outright refuse taking this risk.

"..."

The current deaths and injuries left even the Joyful True Buddha visibly moved.

No longer did he have the previous confidence in relying solely on their skills.

His eyelid twitched slightly, and finally, unable to resist, he looked toward a Heavenly Pride in his sect who had been held as a trump card.

Under the gaze of the True Buddha, the Bodhisattva’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly, but he had no choice but to rise and walk with great difficulty to face Shen Yi.

He took a deep breath, knowing he was only there to deplete the Tribulation Power of the Tai Xu True Monarch, not to win.

Achieving just this was not difficult.

But if he were to lose, it would be tantamount to making wedding robes for others, dimming his prospects.

But what choice did they have in this East Continent? They, the monks from elsewhere, could never compare to those cherished by the True Buddha.

"Phew."

This Bodhisattva adjusted his mindset and looked once more toward the distant Tai Xu True Monarch.

He remained silent, carefully retrieving a pair of Dharma Wheels.

At the moment the Five Tempering Buddha Treasure was revealed, nearly everyone realized that the Bodhi Sect was getting serious.

It was well known that even You Yao, with her high status, only possessed a Five Tempering Spiritual Treasure for self-defense.

"..."

Not only did the Bodhi Sect disciples fall silent, but even the Three Immortals Sect quieted down.

Once, when Senior Brother Shen Yi faced You Yao in the Taixu Realm, no one knew what transpired within, but now finally, a strong figure of equal standing stepped forward.

Seizing this opportunity, they also hoped to glimpse the true abilities of their chief disciple senior brother.

However, when that monk summoned a Golden Body Dharma Identity far surpassing his previous peers, channeling his entire Tribulation Power into the Dharma Wheels in his hands, true fear began to spread among many disciples.

A trace of horror appeared in everyone’s eyes.
