Take advantage of your illness to kill you.
Upon learning of Shen Zhao's serious injuries, Darba made a decisive move to resolve the two major sources of anxiety: Shen Zhao and Song Yanran.
"You go first, I'll hold him off!"
Song Yanran wanted to stand in front of Shen Zhao to buy him a chance to survive.
"None of you can leave today!"
However, Darba had no intention of letting the two go. His palm strike was powerful and aimed straight at Song Yanran's vital points.
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
At the critical moment, Qinglong channeled all his spiritual energy to form a protective aura in front of Song Yanran.
However, his protective aura was no match for Darba's fierce palm strike. With just one blow, he felt his bones break and was sent flying backward.
"stop!"
Song Yanran and Zhuque exclaimed in surprise at the same time and attacked Darba together.
However, Darba's protective energy was incredibly strong, and even when the two used their ultimate moves together, they were both knocked to the ground.
"Empress, accept your fate."
With the advantage in his hands, Darba slammed his palm down on Song Yanran's head.
"Give me a refund!"
At the critical moment, Shen Zhao shouted, causing Darba's movements to pause for a second.
In that instant, Shen Zhao had already closed in and launched a series of attacks.
Caught off guard, Darba had to retreat repeatedly while parrying, giving Song Yanran and Zhuque a chance to survive.
After exchanging a palm strike, Shen Zhao took three steps back again, engaging in a close standoff with Darba.
Song Yanran wanted to help again, but Shen Zhao advised her, "In your condition, you'd only be a casualty. Get rid of the poison first, and leave this to me."
"But your injury..."
"Do it right now!"
Shen Zhao's sharp shout made Song Yanran's heart tremble, and she immediately stepped back to begin the detoxification process.
Her current condition is of no help to the battle; it's best to focus on detoxifying herself from the Seven Star Begonia poison.
Darba clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
His cold, piercing gaze remained fixed on Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao, however, remained calm and confident in the face of an Emperor-level expert like Darba.
"How long do you think you can stall?"
"Enough to see the moment you start the banquet."
"Arrogant!"
Darba flipped his hands and formed a hand seal, instantly causing heaven and earth to resonate and the wind and clouds to move.
A powerful surge of elemental energy continuously flowed into Darba's body.
"Void Treasury?"
Shen Zhao frowned.
"It seems that Zen Master Shangzhi values you highly, entrusting you with such a secret of Buddhism that is not passed down to others."
"Your insight surprises me, but unfortunately, you are destined to enter the cycle of reincarnation today."
"Is that so?"
Shen Zhao paused, and instantly the Southern Bright Fire blazed forth, forming a magnificent blue lotus of flames, dignified and awe-inspiring, its holy splendor covering heaven and earth.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this?"
"Great Brahma Sacred Fire, a move I created myself, I'll test it out on you today."
"A trivial skill!"
Let's settle this with one move.
The hand seal of Akasagarbha is complete.
Instantly, chanting filled the air, and a thousand-armed Buddha image rose from Darba's body, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall golden body that stood on the desolate wilderness.
"I'm not going to waste any more time with you. I'll just use this move to send you all away from this world."
The next moment, the image of the Thousand-Armed Tathagata floated into the void.
At the same time, the earth shook violently, and a thousand-foot mountain rose from beneath Darba's feet, standing in the sky and merging with the Thousand-Armed Buddha, as if the Buddha had descended to earth.
"Vajra Dharma Image, Tathagata World Honored One, Maha Immeasurable".
Darba unleashed his strongest move of his life, solely to resolve the immediate trouble as quickly as possible.
The power of the Daoist laws released by the Great Emperor's cultivation shook the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.
Residents in the distance, witnessing the Buddha's image in mid-air, immediately began to prostrate themselves in worship.
Shen Zhao took a deep breath and concentrated all the true energy stored in his dantian into the Nanming Li Fire.
Instantly, the holy flames blazed fiercely, forming a golden lotus that enveloped Shen Zhao's body.
"Go~"
Darba struck down with his palm, and the Thousand-Handed Tathagata Jewel behind him moved in unison, with a thousand Buddha hands descending and pressing down on Shen Zhao's head.
He was confident that after this move, everything would return to normal, and nothing in the world could stop the rise of the Xiongnu.
Just as he was brimming with confidence, a golden lotus suddenly bloomed, and at the same time, an unparalleled palm force transformed into a thousand-foot-long Buddha hand, heading in the opposite direction to meet Darba.
Boom~
When the two unparalleled forces collided, the world was plunged into darkness overnight, towering mountains collapsed mercilessly, and the Buddha's image in the void was reduced to dust and vanished with the wind.
Only a wisp of blue flame remained, sweeping across Darba's body.
The earth trembled the moment it landed.
Darba stood calmly in place, his hands clasped together.
However, his face was deathly pale, no longer possessing its previous vibrant redness.
After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "You're not injured?"
Shen Zhao, with his back to Darba, said, "If I don't create opportunities for you, how could you have exposed yourself so quickly?"
"So, all of this was your scheme. From the very beginning, you wanted to force me to show myself?"
"Unfortunately, you found out too late."
Tell me the truth!
"The purpose of accepting the three blows from the Xiongnu King is the same as your killing of Venerable Jin Sheng; the two are essentially the same."
Darba's pupils contracted: "I understand now. No wonder your attacks contained a familiar imperial might."
So you were trying to absorb the imperial aura from the Xiongnu king and forcibly boost your Qi Sea's elemental power!
Shen Zhao raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "You're not stupid, just a little slow to react. Is there anything else you need to say before you die?"
Darba sighed deeply: "I suffered this defeat today because I was too attached to my delusions. I regret not heeding the words of the wise Zen Master."
