Apotheosis

For a moment, Zen stared at the enormous, gaping hole in the wall in surprise. The impact of Milo's sword strike was stronger than he'd thought.

Quickly, he moved forward and passed through the hole in the wall.

Once he got outside, Zen paused, observing the scene around him. A lot of disciples from the Bearing race and the Divine Farmer race were clustered around the hole on the outer side of the wall, goggling at him. When the wall had first appeared, trapping the disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace inside, they hadn't been able to do anything. They could only wait anxiously outside.

So it came as a shock to everyone when a hole was suddenly blown in the wall, and a man emerged, seemingly unscathed.

"Didn't they say that the wall was impenetrable?"

"How could someone manage to break through the wall and escape?"

"Damn it! Stop him!"

shouted Seamus. His goal was to take down all the elites of the Oneness Sky Palace, and he was determined not to allow anyone to escape from inside the wall.

"You want to stop me? You are courting death!"

Zen said coldly, glaring at Seamus.

The cultivation base of those guarding the outside of the wall was much, much weaker than Zen's.

Zen had the ability to kill Indigo Souls; there was no doubt that he would find it easy to defeat these Souls of Light who had not yet become Indigo Souls.

Within the wall, Zen and the other disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace had suffered from the torment of the Champion Fish. This cruelty had roused his anger. Now, when he saw several Souls of Light moving to obey Seamus' command and attack him, Zen struck back without mercy. A white cyclone appeared on the surface of his soul.

"Mind Sword!"

The sharp Mind Sword formed between Zen's eyebrows and shot forward.

The invisible sword radiance slashed through the air and instantly killed the six people in front of Zen. Three of the dead had been close to becoming Indigo Souls.

The disciples of the Bearing race looked at the bodies of the dead with wide eyes, struck with terror. Who was the young man who had emerged from the hole in the wall? He had just killed six powerful people in a single blow. They instantly realized that even if they attacked him together, they would probably be no match for him.

"Back off!"

"Get out of the Other Shore!"

"Don't fight this guy head on!"

These disciples called out frantic instructions to each other as they retreated. Some left the Other Shore.

Zen let them go. He had no way of trapping them, so if they left the Other Shore, there was nothing he could do.

More importantly, Dorothy and the other disciples were still trapped within the wall. The huge Champion Fish summoned by Seamus were very difficult to defeat, so Zen needed to return immediately to help his companions. If he did not rescue them soon, they might get killed

body, completely covering him from head to toe. Then his body returned to the Other Shore.

As soon as he entered the Other Shore, he flew without hesitation towards the three temples.

On the way, he saw a tall statue standing at the entrance of the Bearing race's temple. He flew headlong towards the statue.

There was a loud crash as he collided with the statue.

It was completely destroyed, crumbling to the ground in shards. The statue had been a valuable one. It had stood proudly in its place of honor for countless years.

Shouts sounded from inside the temple when they saw the destruction. "Hey! Who are you?"

"How dare you destroy the statue of our race!"

"You are dead!"

Several Souls of Light rushed out of the temple to confront the man who had demolished their treasure.

Zen ignored them. As he moved past the remnants of the statue, he kicked at the rubble, sending several stones flying like arrows towards the gate of the temple.

His body strength far exceeded his soul strength. A casual kick from his body was far greater than the power of his Indigo Soul. He knew that the stones he had kicked would turn pillars into dust and instantly eliminate any Souls of Light they hit.

Zen wasn't normally so bloodthirsty, but these were unusual circumstances. It had been treacherous for the disciples of the Bearing race to lure the Oneness Sky Palace disciples into their trap to kill them all. Had it not been for Milo's astonishing sword attack that hit the wall, Zen himself would also be dead, eaten by the Champion Fish.

To be kind to his enemy was to be cruel to himself and his companions. Right now, he had no time for lengthy combat. He needed to dispense with any distractions quickly and with finality so that he could hurry back to the wall and save the other Oneness Sky Palace disciples. Otherwise, he would directly tear down the temple of the Bearing race.
