For Half-Step Kings like them, taking on someone like Su Bai was all but impossible!
Had they not seen Ye Cangqiong and the Primordial Ancestor killed with a single, effortless blow?
Even if those two were not particularly strong within the Half-Step King Realm, how much stronger could the others be?
Within the same realm, even the strong had their limits!
They might have been able to defeat Ye Cangqiong and the Primordial Ancestor, but they could never have killed them!
Su Bai, however, had needed only one move!
One move for each Half-Step King!
If they wanted to oppose Su Bai, relying on their own strength was out of the question.
Even together, they would struggle to stand against him!
And so, they had brought almost every trump card they possessed!
King's Artifacts, relics left by Kings, ancient treasures...
Buzz!
Deep in the void, a golden sun leaped forth first. Buddha's light shone everywhere, and sacred chants shook the world.
The immense golden form of an ancient Buddha manifested, holding a Demon-Subduing Staff—an ancient Buddhist artifact flowing with the aura of a King!
"Benefactor Su, your sins of killing are too great. Enter the pure land of our Buddhist School and repent."
A mighty Buddhist voice rang out, bearing the will to deliver all living beings.
Then yin and yang energies churned through the galaxy, and an ancient divine diagram unfurled across the sea of stars.
The ancestor of the Yin-Yang Church emerged atop the diagram. A damaged bronze mirror floated above his head, its light dim, yet seemingly capable of fixing yin and yang in place!
"Fiend, today you die!"
Boom!
The aura of the Nine Netherworlds spread as the gates of the Underworld opened. A bronze war chariot pulled by nine Bone Dragons rolled across the stars.
