One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 1097 Just because someone didn't take it out doesn't mean they didn't have it.
After speaking, the Ancient Buddha Lingming mobilized all the divine power within his body.

Bright golden light shimmered in his eyes, even igniting and eventually transforming into two dancing flames.

The string of prayer beads in his hand began to float up as divine power was poured into them.

On each bead, subtle, unique patterns begin to emerge at this moment.

"Immortal King, in your eyes, I'm afraid there's no such thing as a partner. If that's the case, let's settle this today and see how much the gap in strength has widened between us over the years."

The state of the ancient Buddha Lingming is very much like that of a cat in a state of stress.

What the Immortal King did not expect was that simply suggesting that the Lingdu Mountain faction do the work would provoke such a strong aversion from the Ancient Buddha Lingming.

Each Buddhist rosary is engraved with a different array, and each array has a different function.

As long-term strategic partners, they are quite familiar with each other's skills and methods.

Normally, who would dare to disrespect the Celestial King?

That is the Lingming Ancient Buddha.

The Celestial King was in no hurry to make a move.

If something can be solved with words, then never use your hands.

Moreover, being severely injured by the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment would be extremely detrimental to his future plans.

“I said we’ve been working together for so many years, I never expected you to think of me like this. We agreed to share honor, to divide the Three Realms and Six Paths equally, and to govern them together.”

"And yet, you're so wary of me."

The moment the aura was released, the Celestial King's guards sensed it.

The Self-Defense Forces would never allow anyone to act so presumptuously in front of the Celestial King.

They immediately surrounded the Lingming Ancient Buddha.

"Heh, these lowly trash dare to treat me like this. You have to admit, the guys you trained are really stupid to a certain extent. Do these good-for-nothings really think that they can suppress me with their ineffective divine artifacts, their pitifully low divine power level, and their numbers?"

The Celestial King did not deny this claim.

The Imperial Guard alone is indeed no match for the Ancient Buddha Lingming.

Even if it's blind loyalty, so what?

At least it's better than that rebellious Lingming.

“Lingming, you are the leader of a faction, how can you not understand some principles? In this world, there can only be one king, and I am that king.”

"Everyone else can only do what they are supposed to do under my arrangement. You are clearly on my side. If you just follow me and do your job well, wouldn't you be second only to me?"

With that, the Celestial King waved his hand.

He signaled to his men to retreat temporarily.

If you're not a match for the spiritual, there's no need to come and die.

Although the guards were extremely loyal, they still had a fear of death.

If we can avoid dying, then we definitely won't.

As the guards obediently withdrew, the prayer beads in front of Lingming began to flicker once more.

Look at that luster, it's clearly poised to unleash its power.

Once the Celestial King makes a move, he will preemptively unleash his skills to seize the initiative.

The Celestial King observed all of this but did not react excessively.

He calmly removed the crown that symbolized absolute kingship in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

“Lingming, we’ve known each other for over ten thousand years, haven’t we? I never imagined that in all that time, you still wouldn’t understand even the simplest things.” “Could I have become the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths simply because of my words?”

"Normally, we don't choose to take action because we want to give you a chance to show your abilities and demonstrate your value."

The words had barely left his lips when the Immortal King vanished.

Without Lingming Ancient Buddha's knowledge, it appeared behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

How could he be so fast!
An extreme chill rose from behind.

Even if the Celestial King didn't make any extra moves at this moment, the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment felt that someone had grabbed his fate by the throat, and that the Celestial King could end his life with just a little effort.

Just because something isn't shown doesn't mean others don't have it.

Lingming Ancient Buddha didn't really listen to what the Celestial King said.

His natal artifact clearly contained a defensive formation.

Once the natal artifact is activated, its defensive formation will also be activated. Only by breaking the formation can one gain the opportunity to get close to the Spiritual Buddha.

But now, even though the formation is clearly intact, the Immortal King has already touched the body of the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment. It's simply unbelievable.

“Originally, you were still my first choice to divide the Three Realms and Six Paths. Along the way, you have helped me solve a lot of troubles. You tolerated your subordinates disobeying my orders, but I can let that go. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.”

The heavy breathing grew increasingly rapid.

The Celestial King's calm voice sounded like a deadly blade, constantly piercing the body of the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment.

"It's no accident that I've reached this height and stand in this position. Are you curious why your natal artifact failed? That's because I have other items that can perfectly counter you. These items were even prepared ten thousand years ago," the Immortal King explained.

Suddenly, he exerted his strength, and the powerful divine power he possessed was visible to the naked eye. It transformed into sharp blades that mercilessly pierced through the body of the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment, and blood gushed out continuously.

The defensive measures that Lingming Ancient Buddha was so proud of were completely ineffective.

"What on earth do you want to do!"

The intense pain caused Lingming Ancient Buddha's facial features to contort.

He was somewhat hysterical and desperate.

I thought I was someone who could control my own destiny, but reality still gave me a harsh slap in the face.

Suddenly withdrawing his divine power and removing his oppressive aura, the Celestial King regained his previous warm smile.

This restored the Lingming Ancient Buddha's ability to move.

"Of course there's something I need your help with, but if you're careful enough, you still have a chance to survive."

Have you ever heard of Nuwa?

Nuwa, an ancient goddess.

He was a truly powerful being who once stood at the pinnacle of the Three Realms and Six Paths, and his strength was comparable to, if not greater than, that of Fuxi.

As for the name Nuwa Ling, only true veteran powerhouses have ever heard of it.

That was Nuwa's natal artifact, and like the Fuxi Talisman, it was an external artifact.

Moreover, the effects of the two artifacts are quite similar.

The source energy left behind by the ancient gods after their fall, as well as the resources in their personal space, are all very precious.

But the most precious thing is the divine artifact they left behind.

The divine skills and some of their divine power that they once used will remain in their natal artifacts. Whoever obtains them can inherit part of their power from their lifetime. With diligent practice, they can even surpass their masters and gain even greater power.

"Heh, of course I know about this."
