Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

After listening to Yao Tianhuo's guess, the ancient Bodhi tree was silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

"It seems that I should not have let you two outsiders in." Then the ancient Bodhi tree turned its gaze to Zhong Meng and Liu Di, whose eyes were already filled with hostility. "This is what happened. After listening to all this, what will you two choose?"

"You are my dear friends. I promise you that if you voluntarily return your power to me, I will protect the remaining souls of you and your wife. When I have cleared this world of everything, I will do my best to help you two revive again."

The ancient Bodhi tree gave such a sincere assurance to Zhong Meng and Liu Di. No matter whether it was Liu Di, Zhong Meng, Yao Tianhuo or Xiao Yan, they could all clearly tell that what the ancient Bodhi tree said was by no means empty talk. He really cared about these two good friends. If Zhong Meng and Liu Di really handed over the power obediently, the ancient Bodhi tree would keep its promise to protect their remaining souls, and would also try every means to help them resurrect.

And precisely because there was no falsehood in the ancient Bodhi tree's words, Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan felt depressed and their eyes turned to Zhong Meng and Liu Di at the same time.

The power lent to them by the ancient Bodhi tree has been taken back. The current situation is no longer something they can intervene in. The final outcome depends entirely on the wishes of Zhong Meng and Liu Di.

Zhong Meng and Liu Di frowned and did not respond immediately. Their slightly flickering eyes seemed to be hesitating. The ancient Bodhi tree was not in a hurry and waited quietly for a reply.

Time passed second by second, and the inner pressure of both Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan became heavier and heavier.

Finally, Xiao Yan couldn't hold back any longer and took a step forward.

He knew clearly that once Zhong Meng and Liu Di agreed to the ancient Bodhi tree's proposal, it would be all over. He would try his best to persuade them even if it was just with words.

"Two seniors, I have something to say."

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Liu Di raised his hand to stop him from speaking. Then Zhong Meng seemed to have a telepathic connection and looked at the ancient Bodhi tree and asked.

"What will you do if we two disagree?"

"."

The dead eyes of the ancient Bodhi tree trembled slightly, and a hint of struggle was revealed in its pupils without pupils. Finally, it slowly closed its eyes in a very human-like manner.

“Then I, as an old man, can only disregard our past friendship and forcibly take it.” The ancient Bodhi tree opened its eyes again, and this time, there was a fierce light flashing in its eyes. “But if I take it by force, you, the remnant souls, will definitely not be able to bear it. You better think about it.”

The ancient Bodhi tree narrowed its eyes and spoke in an extremely sincere tone.

"Please, don't make it difficult for me."

Listening to the sincere words of the ancient Bodhi tree, the hesitation in the eyes of Zhong Meng and Liu Di disappeared at the same time, and Zhong Meng spoke again.

"Bodhi, my husband and I are very grateful to you for preserving our residual souls for thousands of years and voluntarily dividing them to give us power. This is how we, who are just residual souls, have our own independent consciousness."

After Zhong Meng finished speaking, the couple solemnly clasped their fists towards the ancient Bodhi tree to express their gratitude. The gratitude in their eyes was dazzling.

Then, Liu Di put down his hands, took a step forward, and spoke in a deep voice.

"However, we do not accept your proposal."

"."

The ancient Bodhi tree was silent again. It did not ask any questions in return, but just listened quietly to Liu Di's next words.

"Bodhi, from your answer just now, I can tell that you have fallen into a trance." Liu Di slightly turned sideways, slowly raised his arm, and pointed two fingers together at the ancient Bodhi tree. "Regardless of right and wrong, good and evil, you have abandoned your conscience just for your purpose that you don't know if it is right or not. In your heart, you have already made up your mind to abandon everything to achieve the vision in your heart."

"You can make up your mind even for us, your best friends. Even if the world really becomes what you want, once someone breaks your rules, no matter how big or small, no matter how serious, you will not forgive them and will destroy them."

Liu Di's words left the ancient Bodhi tree unable to refute and it just took it as its consent.

Then Liu Di glanced at Xiao Yan and continued.

"What the young man said just now is right. No one is always good, and no one is always evil. Good and evil are all in a thought. Sometimes, one has to do evil. What really matters is whether one can repent from the bottom of one's heart." Liu Di looked at the ancient Bodhi tree again with a serious look in his eyes. "If the world you expect is this kind of world where there is no distinction between cause and effect, right or wrong, and once someone does evil, they are not given any chance at all, so that everyone can only be good wholeheartedly, leaving no room for maneuver."

"This world is far more despairing than the world we lived in back then."

"No." Liu Di's eyes were stern, and he said in a serious voice: "People who live in this kind of world may not even feel despair."

Not being able to feel despair sounds good, but it is actually quite terrifying. Not even being able to feel despair proves that hope has never existed. All people have to live according to the rules of the ancient Bodhi tree since birth, and they cannot exceed them at all. If they do, they will be punished by heaven.

Trembling with fear and being unable to move, worrying all the time that you have done something wrong, even if it is just a small thing, which will cause you to lose your body and soul. What is the meaning of such a world even if there is no disease, disaster, or evil?

After hearing Liu Di's words, the ancient Bodhi tree was silent for a moment, and then its momentum gradually rose.

"In other words, you are determined to go against me? Even if I am doing this for you?"

"If you want to create such a world just for us, then just destroy the world directly." Liu Di laughed dumbly, and his momentum gradually rose. "We, a husband and wife, cannot bear this guilt."

After hearing Liu Di's answer, both Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, while the ancient Bodhi tree sighed softly.

"Is that so?" The ancient Bodhi tree took a step forward. "If that's the case, there's no need for me to waste my words any more."

After saying that, the ancient Bodhi tree raised its hand, and Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan disappeared in an instant, shocking Zhong Meng and Liu Di.

Before the two could ask, the ancient Bodhi tree spoke first.

"Don't worry, I'm just locking them up temporarily. After all, the upcoming battle is not something they can watch."

After saying this, the ancient Bodhi tree’s aura was no longer concealed, and its terrifying and majestic aura rose up and soared into the sky, shocking the entire world!

The previous kindness in the eyes of the ancient Bodhi tree had completely disappeared, and only ferocious anger was revealed.

"Since you two think that what I did is wrong, then do your best to stop me!"

The voice of the ancient Bodhi tree resounded throughout the space, and Zhong Meng and Liu Di were both powerful.

This is the fundamental logic of this world that has not changed for thousands of years.

Whether it is good or evil, whether it is right or wrong, it must be proven by strength in the end!
"You two, get ready to take it."

The ancient Bodhi tree's eyes flashed, and its figure disappeared in an instant. Liu Di turned around without hesitation and suddenly elbowed behind him, but the hand of the ancient Bodhi tree that appeared behind him steadily caught it.

boom! ! !
Just by taking this simple elbow strike, an astonishing momentum erupted from this place, and even the grass under his feet was annihilated for thousands of miles and turned into nothingness!
Zhong Meng on the side also stepped forward immediately, with fighting spirit surging in his palm, and swung his palm towards the chest of the ancient Bodhi tree in a simple and unpretentious manner.

Bang! ! ! ! !
The space was visibly distorted immediately, and the ancient Bodhi tree easily took the palm strike and retreated only ten meters, while the space within a thousand miles around it was completely shattered!
This is the true strength of the couple!
The previous battle with Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan was just an instinct when they were not fully awake. Now that they have regained their consciousness, their strength has increased several times. Apart from other things, if it were Zhong Meng now, Yao Tianhuo's Ten Thousand Wheels of Fire would be nothing more than a toy that she could destroy in an instant with a wave of her hand!

Of course, this was also because the ancient Bodhi tree had not given the same amplification to Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan before. After all, the couple's waking up was indeed beyond the ancient Bodhi tree's expectations.

But at the same time, this also means that the power of the ancient Bodhi tree is now definitely higher than that of Zhong Meng and Liu Di!

The ancient Bodhi tree raised its withered arm and swung out a palm shining with golden light. At the same time, an extremely huge golden cane swept across the space and smashed towards the two people with the power to destroy the world.

There's no way to avoid it!

Zhong Meng and Liu Di were both startled and came to this conclusion at the same time. Liu Di did not hesitate and came to Zhong Meng's side. The couple worked together and burst out their fighting spirit to smash towards the huge golden palm.

boom! ! ! ! !
As the golden palm shattered, the two of them were shocked and retreated, looking very embarrassed.

However, before the two could adjust themselves, the ancient Bodhi tree approached them again and swung its iron fist at them both at the same time. The couple reacted immediately and forced themselves to straighten their bodies to resist.

It is said that two fists are no match for four hands, but the fact at this moment is that the couple could only fend off the attack of the ancient Bodhi tree alone. Their nerves were stretched to the limit, and if they were not careful their rhythm would be disrupted, resulting in severe damage.

However, although the two tried their best to resist, the ancient Bodhi tree did not, but was quite capable of doing so.

As the speed increased, the third party could no longer see the arms of the ancient Bodhi tree. Although the couple was able to capture it, they could only barely see its afterimage, and relied on their previous combat experience to resist with difficulty.

But in the end, there was still one step missing.

As the ancient Bodhi tree suddenly withdrew its hand, Zhong Meng and Liu Di, who had no time to think, were both stunned. The ancient Bodhi tree seized the moment when the two were stunned, and its palms, filled with extreme fighting spirit, smashed towards the abdomen of the two again, which had no time to defend.

puff! ! !
Zhong Meng and Liu Di both flew backwards and rolled several times in the air before they came to a stop. Feeling the severe pain in their abdomens that came from their souls, Zhong Meng and Liu Di were very sure that if they were not just souls at this moment, most of their organs would have been destroyed.

"Zhong Meng, Liu Di, are you still unwilling to surrender?"

After the attack hit the target, the ancient Bodhi tree did not pursue. Instead, it put its hands behind its back and began to give advice again.

"What I said before is still valid. As long as the two of you return your power to me, I will still preserve your remaining souls. After the new world is built, I will find a way to rebuild your golden bodies."

The voice of the ancient Bodhi tree was so bewitching that Liu Di and Zhong Meng answered in unison.

"No need."

Liu Di just wiped the corner of his mouth and said softly.

"If I were to be reborn in the world you described, I'd rather die." Liu Di grinned, "After all, I was not without some bad intentions when I was alive."

Hearing Liu Di's words, Zhong Meng on the side also laughed.

"That's right. I don't know how many times I've heard his evil intentions. If he follows the rules you set, he would probably die a hundred times."

The couple's jokes seemed to ease the tense situation a little, but they were still extremely nervous inside.

Both Zhong Meng and Liu Di had already come to the conclusion from the fight just now. With their current strength, they could not defeat the ancient Bodhi tree even if they were tied together. This was an absolute fact.

But even so, they were unwilling to give up.

Not only do they not want to see the world that the ancient Bodhi tree wants to create, they also don't want their two good friends to go further and further down the wrong path!

Seeing the determination in the eyes of the two men, the ancient Bodhi tree completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading them.

He knew it, from the beginning.

These two best friends of mine would never agree with the new world I want to build.

There was a cruel look in the ancient Bodhi tree's eyes, and he slowly stretched out his hands behind his back, revealing his murderous intent.

"I will never allow anyone to stand in my way in this new world."

The ancient Bodhi tree took a step forward. Just that simple step made the couple feel the pressure of a huge mountain. Then came the unquestionable roar of the ancient Bodhi tree.

"Including you!"

coming!

Zhong Meng and Liu Di immediately raised their fists, their nerves tense to the extreme, ready to deal with any next move of the ancient Bodhi tree at any time.

However, at this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded, breaking the extremely tense atmosphere in the field.

"This guy has brought me to another incredible place."

who? !

Zhong Meng and Liu Di were both stunned and looked around immediately. The ancient Bodhi tree that had looked past Xiao Yan said nothing and looked towards a place beside it. Zhong Meng and Liu Di seemed to have noticed the ancient Bodhi tree's gaze and looked in the direction it was looking. They saw a space being torn open by a pair of hands and a figure emerged from it.

When they saw the man's appearance, Zhong Meng and Liu Di were both stunned. It was Xiao Yan, who the ancient Bodhi tree had just said had been locked up!
"Ahhh, this guy is just endless."

Xiao Yan, no, it should be said that his soul pressed his neck and twisted it slightly, his eyes filled with unhappiness.

Before Zhong Meng and Liu Di could figure out how a person could give such a different impression before and after, the soul's gaze suddenly looked up into the sky.

"Hey! Why are you hiding now that you're here? Do you want to see a joke?"

"How could that be? We just came in."

Another voice sounded, causing the couple to look up immediately. They saw a woman dressed in black noble attire and wearing a mask on her face slowly falling from mid-air.

She ignored Zhong Meng and Liu Di, ignored the ancient Bodhi tree, and landed in front of the soul. She raised her hand and took off the mask on her face, revealing her handsome face underneath the mask.

The current leader of the Tianhe League, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Ying! (End of this chapter)
