After Lingming Ancient Buddha finished speaking, he mobilized all the Divine Power within his body.
A brilliant golden light flickered in his eyes, even seeming to burn, before finally turning into two dancing flames.
The string of Prayer Beads in his hand gradually began to float as Divine Power poured into it.
The subtle, unusual patterns on every bead began to emerge in full.
"Immortal King, I'm afraid the concept of companions does not exist in your eyes. Since that is the case, let us settle this today and see just how wide the gap in our strength has become after all these years."
Lingming Ancient Buddha looked just like a cat whose fur had been ruffled.
What the Immortal King had not expected was that merely asking the Lingdu Mountain faction to handle something would provoke such strong resentment from Lingming Ancient Buddha.
Each Prayer Bead was engraved with a different formation, and every formation served a different purpose.
As long-term strategic partners, the two of them knew quite well what skills and methods the other possessed.
Under normal circumstances, who would dare show disrespect toward the Immortal King?
Only Lingming Ancient Buddha would.
The Immortal King was in no hurry to attack.
If something could be resolved with words, there was no need to resort to force.
Besides, severely injuring Lingming Ancient Buddha would be highly detrimental to his plans going forward.
"I thought we had worked together for so many years. I never expected that, in your heart, you would think of me this way. We agreed to share honor and disgrace, to divide the Three Realms and Six Paths equally, and rule it together."
"And yet, you guard against me like this."
The moment he released his aura, the Immortal King's personal guards sensed it.
