He Suoyi stared blankly at Du Yu, saying nothing for a long time.
Finally, he smiled faintly and said, "Du Yu, I have to admit, you really did throw us into disarray. But that's all."
"Oh?" Du Yu looked at He Suoyi with interest as well. "Old He, is there some flaw in my plan?"
"Not at all." He Suoyi nodded appreciatively. "Your plan is perfect in every respect. You bypassed all our surveillance points, hoping to launch an ambush against us. Throughout history, we were always the ones setting the ambush. This time, though, the tables have turned."
"Yes. Isn't that a good thing?" Du Yu said with a smile. "You thought you had surrounded me, but in reality, we've surrounded you..."
"But have you considered one question?" He Suoyi interrupted him. "Why has Great Dark Heaven won every single time throughout history?"
Du Yu frowned, his lips parting slightly. "What... do you mean?"
He Suoyi looked up at the enormous Buddha statue and said, "Because no matter how you respond, you can never defeat him. You can never defeat Great Dark Heaven."
Du Yu followed He Suoyi's gaze into the distance. "Really? We can't defeat this black Buddha, no matter what we do?"
He Suoyi slowly floated into the air. "Du Yu, you've made the worst possible decision. If you had truly given up, everything really would have ended."
With that, he turned into a streak of black light and flew toward Great Dark Heaven.
Great Dark Heaven opened his pitch-black eyes slightly and looked at the Immortals in the sky. There were more than a hundred of them. Then he sighed and murmured, "My Buddha is merciful. Today, another hundred Immortals shall fall."
He formed a lotus with his fingers and quietly uttered two words: "Begin battle."
