On the other hand, that was not the case for the Black Robe as he sensed an immense crisis. He roared and struggled desperately while attacking the Vajra Phantasm.
However, mysterious energy leaked out of the ruined temple like sprinkling golden powder or fluttering heavy snow, and all of it entered the old monk’s phantasm. His voice became increasingly louder, and each word contained great laws as if they came from the deep space of the universe.
“The mind, Buddhas, and sentient beings are equal!”
“All sentient beings are equal within the flow of five paths!”
“Namo, namo…”
The old monk’s voice reverberated in their ears like a dozen huge stereos.
Alex did not feel anything, but the Black Robe was terrified and shouted continuously, “D*mn bald a*s, what are you doing?! Let me out!”
It was because he realized that his cultivation level was plummeting, dropping one level after another.
He was currently a powerhouse with the strength of an Immortal Monarch on the sacred golden mountain. However, in just a short moment of breathing, all of his cultivation bases were shackled, declined, and instantly fell below the Immortalization, turning himself into a mortal whose cultivation was around Tribulation Crossing.
This was too terrifying.
Meanwhile, Alex received the old monk’s telepathic message, “Little friend, you’re fated with the Buddha. I have to rely on you to overcome this abomination this time. I’ll turn myself into a cage so that everyone will be equal. He’s at the same level as you at this moment. You can fight him. I’ll help you secretly too.”
‘What?’ Alex was stunned.
That was indeed a great terror.
The old monk just weakened an Immortal Monarch’s strength to the same level as him. But, then, wouldn’t he be not even an Immortal?
“I’ll give it a try!” Alex held the shield and rushed forward.
Thud!
The Black Robe’s cultivation was undoubtedly being suppressed, so how could he, whose cultivation was only at Tribulation Crossing, be a match for Alex?
Moreover, Alex had shot several arrows at him earlier. The impacts were not significant because he still had the cultivation to support him previously, but they had now become his fatal injuries.
As expected, Alex stopped. “What secret?”
The Black Robe said, “You have to promise me that you’ll let me go after I tell you the secret.”
The Black Robe was devastated. He was a dignified Immortal Monarch, yet he had to beg a mortal for mercy. This was simply a great insult.
However, a great man should be ready to give and take. He would want this brat to be tormented in eternal purgatory when he turned the tables someday.
Alex said coldly, “You haven’t told me any secrets, but you’re already thinking about begging for mercy? I think you’re simply cooking up nonsense because you’re afraid of death.”
“It’s real. Medusa’s Aegis Shield is a holy tool of my clan. It possesses a great secret.”
“Spill the beans then. I’ll find out if I can spare your life.”
The Black Robe was at his wit’s end, so he could only say, “The ancestor of Medusa is sealed within Medusa’s Aegis Shield. Upon activation, its power will be a hundred times more powerful than it is now. Everyone who sees the shield will be petrified, but you need an incantation to activate it.”
