âThe Soul Collection Coffin?â
Alex took quite a while to remember that he did, in fact, have such a treasure in his mind palace. It was
one of the three treasures that he received from Ksitigarbha. However, that treasure seemed useless at
this point. He had used it to store Annaâs body, as he hadnât found a way to revive her yet.
Thus, he could only explain the truth to Shelly.
Shelly raised her head gently, looking towards the endless battle at the divine mountain. She then
whispered, âSo basically, this is a turning point in her cultivation. This is the Underworld, the best place
for her to be revived. The Underworld Tomb certainly has a surplus of soul power.â
âSo youâre saying the Soul Collection Coffin could help them regain their consciousness. And it could
possibly revive Anna?â Alex gasped.
Shelly huffed softly, staring back at him cockily.
âThatâs a precious inheritance from the Buddha. Are you underestimating it a little too much? If it canât
even restore a mortalâs soul, then how could it be the Soul Collection Coffin? Donât worry so much!â
With Shellyâs supporting statement, Alex was confident enough to use the coffin. Hence, he
immediately took it out of his mind palace.
The moment he opened the coffin, a tremendous suction-like force came from the inside, as if it were a
tornado. It managed to suck out the odd energy out of everyoneâs minds.
Even Alexâs mind felt clear, making him feel exceptionally relieved.
His previous condition was saved by the ax; hence his soul regained freedom from its defense
mechanism. However, a small pinch of energy remained in his mind, even after that. It wasnât entirely
removed, so it naturally affected him negatively. Yet now, that energy was completely wiped out.
In just a few moments, Dorothy and the others regained their consciousness.
âWhat..? What happened to me just now?â
âThat felt weird. Itâs like I just had an odd dream. I dreamt about a big battle at the divine mountain. We
were all part of it too.â
âAh, me too. I even wanted to help that emperor. Did I really do that? But my memories feel so blurry.
Iâm not quite sure.â
The group had just awakened, so they had no idea what was happening at the time. They looked at
one another, not knowing what to do.
Everyone then turned to Alex in confusion.
That was because Alex saved them from that horrible state, they knew that well at the very least. Now
that they were faced with this, all they could do was ask Alex.
âLook over there!â Alex pointed to the mountain. Everyone realized that their current location was
relatively close to shore. If they went a few miles further, they wouldâve been able to reach there.
Yet now, the battle on top of the mountain was getting heated. The emperor of the Underworld was
summoning all trialists to assist him, sacrificing themselves to the tomb in order to provide him with
more force.
The tomb was lending its powers in order to fight with the Shoraionji Temple. At this point, the temple
was facing too much pressure, they were put at a disadvantage. Maha tried to summon his Buddha
phantom, activating every single mechanism they prepared back in the temple as well.
Even with all five hundred arhats as allies, the results were still somewhat disappointing.
Arhats were being killed left and right, each turning into a ray of golden light as they went back into the
Shoraionji Temple.
Revealer Maha was currently in a tight spot.
On the other hand, countless trialists and bone demons were being summoned to the battle by force.
Slowly worn down, Maha and the arhats wouldnât be able to hold up any longer.
âAlex, take action now! Save Revealer Maha!â Shelly spoke up immediately. âOnce heâs been defeated,
the emperor of the Underworld would be able to control this world. Heâd be able to struggle out of his
restrictions, then destroy this world. Everyone here will die!â
Alex glanced at the mountain, feeling a shiver run down his spine.
âSis, thatâs literally the same as pushing me off a cliff. You know that, right?â
âWith that power, I would be getting a one-way ticket to eternal slumber before I even got near it.â
He knew himself well. This was a battle between gods, where even the smallest amount of energy from
the formations could dismember him. He knew that he didnât have what it took to contribute.
