Lin Qi sat cross-legged roughly ten feet before the pavilion. Alda and the others had all revealed themselves, standing guard at his side.
Fan Luo Divine Lord's soul had been extracted by Lin Qi and was now suppressed within his sea of consciousness, enduring the frenzied joint assault of Lin Qi and the Osmanthus Tree. Countless azure roots lashed and chopped through Lin Qi's sea of consciousness like blades. Every strike brought forth a blinding purple flare as it hacked heavily into Fan Luo Divine Lord's soul.
Amid unbearable roars of agony, Fan Luo Divine Lord's soul condensed into a colossal divine statue a thousand meters tall. Standing atop a surging throne of water and fire, it had three heads, eight arms, and three legs, with a halo of sunlight crowning its head. It continuously spewed bolts of lightning from its mouth, resisting the invasion of the Osmanthus Tree's roots.
But Lin Qi's soul had transformed into a giant with a thousand heads and a thousand arms, its feet planted upon great mountains. It bore down heavily on Fan Luo Divine Lord's head. No matter how Fan Luo Divine Lord struggled and roared in fury, he could not shake Lin Qi's soul in the slightest. Their souls crashed against each other, and immense soul fluctuations stirred up waves ten thousand zhang high within the sea of consciousness. Every collision between their soul fluctuations unleashed a thunderous, muffled boom.
"Lin Qi, you traitor!" Fan Luo Divine Lord roared madly.
Lin Qi's thousand thick arms gripped enormous boulders and smashed them wildly at Fan Luo Divine Lord like a raging storm. He shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? By Lady Dark Lotus's order, this king has come to execute you. This king is the most devout Guardian God Palace Protector Divine King!"
