âWhat?â
âWhatâs that voice? Whoâs talking?â
In more few moments, Alex realized that the Bodhi statue was speaking to him. This whole while, the
statue seemed to be following him from a hundred metres away.
âI am⦠The Palatial!â
âHuh..?â
Alex was stunned again. Heâd inherited Ksitigarbhaâs teachings and had basic knowledge of Buddhism,
but heâd never heard of the Palatial Bodhi. However, he was now surrounded by dozens of dark golden
bone demons and being attacked on the ground. It was difficult for him to escape. As for that idiot
Xerxes, he was about to get onto the sedan chair.
He wasnât ready for Xerxes and his wife to make out. If this were to happen, nothing could save the
situation, not even if he slept with Jade.
So, he didnât care what sort of god he became, as long as it helped.
In the next moment, the Bodhi statue lit up even brighter, the light condensed into a strong stream and
shone towards Alex.
Shiiing!
The golden light entered Alexâs body and a strong stream of energy roamed his veins.
âNamo namo, mali mali, boom!â With a shout, golden light emerged from Alexâs body as if the Bodhi
statue had set an armor around him.
One second later, it was as if a tonne of bombs had been ignited, there was a loud explosion and the
bone demons that suppressed Alex were all blown away. The few in front were blasted into pieces.
âThe shine of Buddhaâs halo!â Alex couldnât help shouting.
He stood up, his body wrapped with a layer of illuminating light. Behind him, a phantasm appeared.
There were golden silhouettes and mysterious symbols circulating around. A large ancient golden
roulette lit up the heavens and earth.
It was a move from the Bodhi statue.
Alex was immensely shocked. The strength of the Bodhi statue far exceeded his expectations.
The light of the mysterious roulette shone on the bone demons. They all screamed in pain as they
clutched onto their heads. The dark golden bone patterns on their bodies were attracted by some
mysterious force and flowed out towards the golden roulette.
âAhhh!â
âHelp, save me!â
As the bone demons had become spiritual some time ago, they could speak the human tongue. They
shivered and shouted to the Corpse Princess for help.
However, the roulette spun on, and its attracting force was unstoppable. The bone patterns continued
to leave the demonsâ bodies and enter the roulette. The process was all too agonizing.
According to the laws of the Underworld, consumption of bone patterns was to be performed only on
the dead. Yet, everything that happened at the time disregarded the laws.
The demons werenât dead, but their patterns were being taken away. Everyone was stunned by the
situation, even scaring them.
Xerxes, seeing Alexâs sudden actions, realized that he might still be saved. He quickly jumped away
from the princess and joined in the fight against the demons.
The Corpse Princess extended her hand to grab Xerxes, but she somehow missed.
She instantly flew into a rage as her dignity was violated. âI, the princess, had been fooled?â
âKill!â
âKill him!â
Kill them all!â
Enraged, the Corpse Princess ordered the remaining demons and soldiers. The first person she
wanted to kill was Alex, then the other trialists.
On the other hand, it was as if sheâd really fallen in love with the man. Thus, Xerxes was not included
on her list.
The battle started once more.
The trialists had no choice but to fight. Now, everyone hated Alex for being nosy. If Xerxes had gone on
the chair, the Corpse Princess wouldâve let them go.
Knowing this, Alex still tried to save Xerxes, infuriating the Corpse Princess in the process.
âUgh, what luck!â
Alex was currently slaughtering every single enemy in sight.
The mysterious roulette spun above his head, and Buddhaâs halo shone. The demons and soldiers who
entered the range of the light were severely affected, their bone patterns taken away and swallowed by
the roulette. It profoundly damaged their battling abilities and movements.
âAll Bodhis, rise!â
