Chapter 1378: Chapter 807 He’s Still Hiding_2

The monk’s robe, dense with precious light, shattered instantly, leaving onlookers startled and fearful.

Shen Yi grabbed the big spear, once again stepping forward, gripping the spear shaft tightly with both palms, his pitch-black eyes radiating a chilling coldness. He gritted his teeth and fiercely thrust the spear into the chest of the Bodhisattva, with immense force, forcibly pushing it down from the sky curtain, firmly nailing it to the spot.

Splurt—

The golden liquid in Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva’s eyes finally dimmed. He wore an expression of confusion.

He couldn’t understand why the Buddha Treasure he personally forged seemed so fragile before this young man.

Despite both being of the Second Rank, even if there was some disparity in their paths, it shouldn’t lead to such an absurd scene.

Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva, enduring the severe pain, fiercely gripped the spear in his chest, intending to pull it out, only to be met with the fierce visage of the young man and the swift attack of an incoming fist!

Crack!

The head, bristling with twelve eyes like a lotus pod, exploded under Shen Yi’s fist.

Amid the shattering sound, the glaring golden light announced the demise of a Great Freedom Bodhisattva.

The headless corpse twitched slightly on the spear, making everyone’s eyelids twitch. But before they could think further, they witnessed an even more terrifying scene.

Shen Yi swung his leg, kicking the spear shaft.

Swoosh.

The spear, enveloped in blazing waves, carrying Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva’s corpse, shot out like a giant dragon, sweeping through the Yellow Cloud, startling several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas to quickly rise and evade.

Before they could react, Shen Yi had already glanced over, his handsome face still carrying a trace of ferocity, his voice tinged with coldness: "It’s your turn. Come up."

The Great Freedom Bodhisattvas were first shocked by the destruction of Brother Lotus Pearl’s Dharma Body, and the next moment they heard such provocative words.

Cultivators of the Second Rank possess undying and undying Divine Skills, so if truly enraged, even an Emperor wouldn’t intimidate them, let alone a junior.

In an instant, the eight Great Freedom Bodhisattvas who were touched by the spear’s blazing waves all jumped up directly, landing amid the Yellow Cloud, surrounding the young man with murderous intent.

"What’s going on?"

Ling Xuzi shivered all over. He still couldn’t accept that Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva had fallen so easily at the hands of his disciple.

The more he looked at the figure in Xuan Shang, the more he felt an unfamiliar terror.

What kind of benefits did the two Emperors give this kid?!

"Heh..."

Chi Yunzi’s eyes were also filled with deep confusion.

He had just exchanged blows with Lotus Pearl Monk, fully aware of the other’s formidable strength, and even if he hadn’t given away his Spiritual Treasure, he probably wouldn’t have been a match for this Bodhisattva.

And what Shen Yi used were all Spiritual Treasures from that bag, not even using the Non-action Sword.

Those items were indeed the savings of a lifetime but were clearly not a match for Lotus Pearl Monk’s heritage. How was this victory achieved?

Nevertheless, upon witnessing the monk’s head burst, that obsession stuck in Chi Yunzi’s chest finally dissipated. This chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, under the witness of both sects, avenged disciple Chu Xi and brought justice for Chi Yun Cave!

But because of this, he found it even harder to comprehend.

Even after his own obsession was resolved, why did Shen Yi’s murderous intent grow even stronger, leading to such irrational actions?

Since the discussion hosted by the True Buddha was being carried out, naturally, they shouldn’t outnumber the few.

The problem lies in that, as long as one is not blind, it’s clear that this was the result of Shen Yi’s voluntary provocation. Even if the Three Immortals Sect was dissatisfied, they had no grounds to accuse that group of monks.

"..."

Perhaps only Master Xuanwei in the arena guessed a trace of the truth.

He wore a bitter smile.

The Dao Fruit he once sensed in the Heavenly Dao contained heavy traces of the Bodhi Sect, coupled with Shen Yi’s origins from the Southern Continent, the place where the Three Immortals Sect’s influence was weakest.

In the course of his cultivation, he likely had no choice but to reference many Buddhist methods, deducing a unique path, thus in the duel, compared to the Immortals, this young man resembled a Walker.

But even if he guessed as much, how could Master Xuanwei dare to speak it out loud?

Given the current catastrophe, the person chosen would govern the Immortal Court as the Heavenly Emperor in the future. If someone discerned Shen Yi’s background, it would be an unsolicited excuse for the Bodhi Sect, considering the shamelessness of those monks who might claim the chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect to be a disciple of the Bodhi Sect.

Of course, this reasoning only explains why Shen Yi possessed the strength to kill Lotus Pearl Monk, not his next reckless action.

Upon reflection, Master Xuanwei and Chi Yunzi exchanged a glance, both recalling a previous incident.

At the Immortal Palace in the North Continent, this young man had mentioned a reason.

But even these two Golden Immortals who admired Shen Yi greatly couldn’t believe that in his eyes, the "grudge of annihilation" was truly weightier than the readily obtainable position of Immortal Emperor!

"Let him indulge one last time."

Master Xuanwei sighed, speaking to Chi Yunzi through his thoughts.

Though extremely reluctant, he understood that the great advantage was achieved by Shen Yi single-handedly. If the other party wanted to forfeit this advantage for revenge, no one else had the right to interfere.

Even if he fell into a slumber, based purely on his conduct in the argument and his displayed strength, once his Tao Body is reshaped, he would still be one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"What does this mean?"

The most anxious in the arena turned out to be Emperor Dongji. Although the situation was so favorable, and the young man acted ruthlessly, with Chi Yunzi’s prior incident as a precedent, it was barely justifiable.

But now, this clear consequence of self-destructive behavior made the Emperor somewhat distressed.

He furrowed his brows, casting his gaze directly at the two True Buddhas opposite him: "Is this what you call a discussion?"

"..."

The Joyful True Buddha returned his gaze with indifference, having just seen his disciple struck back to the Heavenly Dao, he had no cordial expression, responding coolly: "Isn’t this what he sought himself?"

"You!" Emperor Dongji’s face darkened suddenly, turning to look at Houtu in the distance, only to find the woman calm, showing no intention of speaking.

Without the support of another Emperor, and given this was in the territory of East Sumeru, he took a deep breath, and apart from silently cursing, could only let it go.

"Lady..." Shi Mu gently called, even if the young man was not as the Lady imagined, he was at least a remarkably gifted junior of the Immortal Sect. Are they really going to watch this group of monks bully with numbers?

Lady Houtu did not respond, merely shaking her head.

Though not as knowledgeable about Shen Yi as Master Xuanwei and others, from the current scene alone, she could infer a general idea.

This much-anticipated chief disciple wasn’t here to participate in the great catastrophe at all, but merely using this discussion to accomplish what he wanted, which likely was not valued by others and far less than the Immortal Emperor position in importance — hence Master Xuanwei’s shocked expression.

No wonder she guessed wrong before...

In situations like this, intervening would only dissatisfy the young man. The path he chose didn’t concern others, so even as Emperor, what right did they have to interfere?

"This is not..."

Amidst a long silence in the arena, many disciples finally reacted.

Even Li Shan stood up incredulously, looking at the patriarchs and Emperors, shocked that under so many giants’ watchful eyes, they just stood by and watched the group of monks besiege their own junior?!

For a moment, sentiments of dissatisfaction arose and seemed to intensify.

But on the Yellow Cloud, whether it was the eight Great Freedom Bodhisattvas or Shen Yi, alone and surrounded, all seemed as if they hadn’t heard a thing.

"Your murderous nature is too heavy, unworthy of the word ’Immortal’."

The Great Freedom Bodhisattvas unanimously put their palms together, and the True Buddhas, without stopping them, tacitly agreed to what would happen next.

They suddenly took out their Buddha Treasures, with the profound Buddha Light dispelling the surrounding black clouds.

At that moment, almost everyone noticed something amiss.

No matter how thick the imposing Buddha Light, it could not truly restore East Sumeru to daylight; the thin black clouds in the sky were actually boundless.

"Still not heavy enough."

Shen Yi glanced at a few people, casually stepped, his figure slowly dissipating from where he stood.

The following moment, all eyes in the arena converged upward.

Golden Hairpin Xuan Shang Daoist Lord was seated in the sky, quietly closing his eyes, with Dao Patterns surging within the black clouds, the Non-action Sword transformed into a white rainbow swirling around him.

A palpably dreadful aura began to spread.

It was a sign that the Heavenly Dao was being
