Chapter 581 The Dead Enemy is the Best Enemy
"Even in death, I will be a proud Ursus man."
Joseph's gaze was icy, and his steely will exploded before his eyes like a thunderbolt, shattering the bloody mist.
"Even Vladimir couldn't make me submit, so who do you think you are?"
Even though he was dissatisfied with Vladimir's oppression, Joseph still regarded Vladimir as the greatest person he had ever seen.
In Joseph's eyes, neither the Great Freedom nor the Third God Enemy was as good as Vladimir. They were neither worthy of his submission nor of his betrayal of Ursus.
By personally giving up the last straw in this desperate situation, Joseph's spirit, will, and momentum also reached their peak.
The dark red Holy Grail, formed from blood, had acquired a metallic sheen, resembling a blood-red steel artifact.
Joseph's will has surpassed that of the Holy Son's remains; his "Iron Will" supernatural power is forcibly controlling that external force.
"The Holy Blood Angel".
With a fierce shout, blood-red wings, as if forged from steel, unfurled behind Joseph, while the blood-red Holy Grail below simultaneously boiled with blood, erupting into a fountain of blood that shot into the sky.
"Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns were ten crowns, and on its heads were blasphemous names. The beast I saw looked like a leopard, but had feet like a bear's feet and a mouth like a lion's mouth."
""
Joseph chanted loudly, and countless bizarre, leopard-like monsters materialized from blood and charged in all directions.
"Buzz"
The sky trembled violently, as if the firmament were sinking. The will of the Holy Walker crashed down from the sky, and a colossal creature descended from the heavens.
The chaos was stirred, thunder roared, the stars shifted and the heavens moved, the mountains shook and the seas tilted!
A vast and powerful aura descended with a roar, shattering the eerie blood beast in one fell swoop. The overwhelming force, along with the holy walker's will, fell together, forcibly suppressing the ascending crimson angel.
Joseph was originally a warrior who broke through the second level of the Heavenly Gate, and for many years he has maintained an external force equivalent to the Heavenly Gate level with the power of faith of the Ursus Orthodox Church.
Even though the connection was severed, it forcibly maintained its power by relying on the remains of the pseudo-god, the Holy Son, making it impossible for the two powerful figures, the military strategist and Cheng Peng, to gain the upper hand for a time.
But at this moment, he was being attacked by more than just these two people.
Although the Holy Walker was not present in his true form, under Bai Ze's "You didn't want this either" offensive, he could only exert all his willpower to suppress it and cooperate with Cheng Peng.
The combined forces of the two forces abruptly interrupted Joseph's rising momentum.
Bai Ze also crashed in at this moment like a comet striking the earth.
The space in front of him was shrinking under the influence of gravity, while the space behind him was constantly expanding. These two different spatial changes, one in front and one behind, caused the space itself to propel the heavy "Simple and Boundless Heavenly Corpse" through the air and strike.
A beam of white light crashed in, shattering the crimson aura into a bloody mist and creating a void.
With unparalleled force, the space before the fist collapsed, firmly pulling Joseph's figure into it.
Joseph didn't hesitate to exchange punches with Bai Ze, and he had no choice but to do so.
He was now completely trapped, and even avoiding their attacks had become a luxury.
A fist, imbued with the color of blood and the cold luster of steel, was thrust out, the fist containing iron and blood meeting a blow with the mass of a white dwarf.
The light was captured and distorted by the powerful gravity, turning into complete darkness. The air had long been displaced, leaving only a vacuum. As for sound, smell, and even the fluctuations of divine thoughts, they all seemed to disappear completely at this moment.
Boom—
A deafening roar did not originate externally, but rather arose internally, exploding within Bai Ze's sea of consciousness and even the depths of his mind.
A cold, steely fist, carrying a pungent, bloody aura, appeared within Bai Ze's consciousness.
The immense pressure seemed to shatter Bai Ze's thoughts and will.
"All twelve evils of Sattva are empty."
At the same time, the golden lotus flower revolved around Bai Ze, forming an indestructible wall within his consciousness.
Mindset, iron fists, golden barriers, and the clash of unparalleled forces in reality.
The virtual and the real collided most directly.
"Bang!"
The dark scene shattered, and Joseph was struck as if by lightning, blasted backward.
Already facing attacks from Cheng Peng and the Holy Walker, and with Bai Ze suddenly launching an attack, Joseph was fighting three against one. Even with his overwhelming momentum, he had no chance of gaining the upper hand.
At the same time, a blood-red thorny ring appeared, wrapping around Bai Ze's arm, but it could not harm the extremely dense celestial-level existence.
The overwhelming force of his will caused Bai Ze's gaze to sharpen, and he felt a violent tremor in his sea of consciousness, but he recovered in the blink of an eye.
On the other side, the ice rose, freezing the crimson Holy Grail, and even erected an ice peak, blocking Joseph's path.
Just as Joseph crashed into the ice peak, a cold fist shattered the ice from behind, striking Joseph's body.
The extreme cold froze even the movement of atoms; the domineering chill solidified the blood-red wings, only to shatter them with a single blow.
"boom""
Joseph's figure had just been frozen when he saw the ice shatter and the force of the fist crush his body.
Countless cracks appeared on the Heavenly Armor covering the body, revealing the cracked flesh inside, but the "Iron Will" forcibly controlled the body, allowing it to recover quickly.
At the same time, Bai Ze and Cheng Peng also arrived in pursuit.
The palm strike was extremely domineering, the torrent of water that swept across three thousand miles was overwhelming, and the icy fist that came crashing down from behind was also striking.
The combined attack of the three forces converged on a single point, striking Joseph simultaneously.
"Bang"
The shockwave swept across the area, shattering the thousand-meter-tall crimson chalice into dust from top to bottom.
The blood wings behind Joseph were also shattered into nothingness. The Heavenly Armament broke apart and then reassembled. As long as the will remains, this armor formed from will and divine will will not disappear.
However, Joseph's physical body, which had broken through the Heavenly Gate of the Body, was the first to give way.
Bai Ze, Cheng Peng, and the military strategist joined forces once again, turning the sky into a vast sea. A torrent of primordial energy swept across the land, gravitational fluctuations distorted space, and a chilling aura froze everything.
The three forces are not complementary, but rather mutually antagonistic. However, they do not hinder each other, but rather pulverize everything.
"Boom!"
The tangled forces evolved into an incredibly chaotic scene, which finally exploded violently.
That scene was like a cosmic explosion.
A massive torrent swept across the sky, causing all three attacking forces to retreat simultaneously.
The force swept across the mountains, making all the surrounding peaks appear shorter, and causing the earth to shake violently.
But after the floodwaters swept across the sky, the sky cleared up.
Even now, in the darkness, you can still see that pure expanse.
Joseph's figure appeared in the center of that clear light, his Heavenly Armor still intact, as if unharmed.
However, his figure presented an invisible and elusive feeling, like a phantom shadow.
"I lost."
The Iron Patriarch of Ursus let out a sigh.
"According to the rules of Ursus, the victor has the right to control everything of the loser; the Orthodox Church is now yours. Finally..."
Joseph slowly turned his head to look at the military strategist: "That was a powerful punch, well done."
He let out a long laugh, and his figure slowly crumbled, turning into countless sparkling fragments that drifted away.
In the end, Joseph failed to grasp at the Great Freedom Bloodline.
If he had chosen to accept the baptism of demonic blood, he might not have been able to escape alive, but he would definitely have had a better chance of survival than if he hadn't accepted it.
A brief shower of light fell from the night sky, disappearing without a trace after a fleeting flash.
Whether it was the physical body, the soul, or even the vital energy, everything was ground into dust and turned into nothingness.
Even the remains of the Holy Son, which he had integrated into his body, were completely destroyed.
Joseph's existence has completely disappeared from the world.
"Is he dead?"
'
Bai Ze landed on a mountain peak that had been swept away, pressing down on the mountain's turbulence with one foot, while simultaneously using his divine sense to perceive the void.
Warriors who break through the Heavenly Gate of Body and the Heavenly Gate of God are the most difficult to kill. As long as there is a trace of blood or even a trace of their soul remaining, they may be resurrected.
Although Joseph relied on external forces, he still possesses power of the same level, so it's best to be cautious.
"He's dead."
A flash of platinum light appeared, and Catherine, dressed in a black military uniform, appeared on the mountain peak. She said, "His holy light has vanished. In the end, his will could still hold on, but his body and soul could not."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze remained silent for a moment, then said, "He is indeed a respectable enemy."
As the owner and controller of the Demon Blood, Bai Ze naturally sensed the appearance of the Great Freedom Demon Blood and knew about Joseph's choice.
If Joseph accepts the demon blood, Bai Ze might be able to harvest another wave of profits in the end.
His refusal caused Bai Ze considerable losses.
But this only made Bai Ze feel respect for him.
Not everyone can resist that last straw in a desperate situation, especially someone like Joseph.
Strong people are actually less willing to give up on life than weak people. Their experiences and willpower enable them to seize every opportunity and never give up.
Their strong mental fortitude even gives them the confidence to counter the Great Freedom Demon Blood, making them more likely to accept the Demon Blood.
If Joseph can overcome this hurdle and return to Ursus, he will be able to initiate an internal reform.
Perhaps in the end, he will be utterly disgraced and die without a burial place, but it is also possible that he will seize the opportunity while Vladimir is trapped and ascend to the top of Ursus.
Joseph is truly admirable for being able to reject this possible future.
Thankfully, he's dead.
A faint sense of emotion welled up in Bai Ze's heart.
A respectable enemy deserves to die.
If such an enemy escapes, who knows how much trouble he will cause in the future.
"Yes, he is indeed admirable," Ekaterina agreed. "Luckily, I made the judgment in time and persuaded my adoptive father to come and kill him."
Joseph's death is certainly regrettable, but if he were to return to Ursus, our side would surely suffer a great calamity.
It's definitely better for this kind of enemy to die.
You can show respect to the dead enemy, but you must never show the slightest leniency to a respectable enemy.
As they said this, Ekaterina and Bai Ze looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
Then, they couldn't help but smile, as if they were on the same wavelength.
"Yes, it's a good thing I came, otherwise I wouldn't have known that my wild boar and a wildflower could be so in sync."
""
A soft voice drifted on the wind as Mu Yaoguang arrived gracefully, her gaze, which held a half-smile, sweeping over Bai Ze before turning to Ekaterina.
The two women exchanged glances and confirmed that this was indeed a formidable opponent.
"Oh."
"Heh~"
Two ambiguous laughs rang out, causing Bai Ze's smile to slowly freeze.
.....
.....
An invisible wave returned to Mount Narayana like a tide, and the illusory figure reappeared above the Holy Walker.
"Holy Walker."
Adiedo and the others quickly bowed and noticed a subtle weight creeping over the Holy Walker's body, who was currently undergoing arduous training.
The three looked at each other, hesitating about who should ask the question, but the Holy Walker spoke first.
"Joseph is dead." The Holy Walker's voice carried a hint of worry.
Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed.
Although they knew beforehand that the Holy Walker was going to help kill Joseph, the three of them still hoped that the situation would turn around.
Perhaps Bai Ze died along the way?
Or perhaps, the Holy Walker turned the tide and reversed the situation?
Unfortunately, in the end, hope is just hope and cannot change reality.
"At least, we in Sanghati have not suffered any losses... Adiedo attempted to use Sanghati's traditional skill—Mahayana strategy: 'With the death of the orthodox patriarch, there will definitely be turmoil within Ursus, and they may even withdraw their troops and relocate their garrisons.'"
Thinking about it this way, it seems that not only did we not suffer any loss, but we actually won.
We, the Buddhist community, won!
Perhaps we can seize this opportunity to reclaim some of the territory occupied by Ursus.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so hard to accept anymore.
But the holy man of Dunliao said, “That is not what I am worried about. You should all know about the changing status of Indra and Vishnu, right?”
All three nodded upon hearing this.
In Sanskrit and Indian mythology, Indra is revered as the "King of Gods," the king of all gods.
But this god-king's experience... can only be described as tragic.
Basically, any villain can easily defeat Indra. It can be said that "eating, sleeping, and beating Indra" is the underlying logic of Sanskrit and Indian mythology.
"In the beginning, Vishnu, one of the three principal gods, held a far lower mythological position than Indra; he was called Lesser Indra." However, as the mythology evolved, Lesser Indra became Greater Indra, and Indra himself became Vishnu's subordinate.
As the Holy Walker spoke slowly, the energy on the illusory "Cosmic Primordial God" shifted and fluctuated.
"Now, another 'small Indra' who could potentially become a great Indra has appeared."
The Holy Walker revealed his true inner worries.
As Adiedo said, Joseph's death did not have a significant impact on Buddhism.
What truly worries the Holy Walker is Bai Ze, this little free spirit.
Having witnessed the change in Bai Ze's strength in this battle, the Holy Walker was very worried that an enhanced version of Da Zizai would appear in the future.
Even without the enhanced version, it can still become another form of great freedom.
The appearance of two great masters is not a good thing for India.
