Chapter 120: Chapter 60: Want to Die? It’s Not That Easy! (Part 2)

"You want to run away before the Holy War has even begun?"

The corners of Alex’s mouth curled up slightly. Even though he didn’t know the exact reason why Shaka wants to die, since he had arrived at the Virgo Temple at this specific point in time, he would absolutely not let Shaka just die like this.

Inside the Virgo Temple, the Buddha light and the raging flames were still clashing madly. The massive phantom of the Buddha slowly pressed down its giant palm, its palm lines flowing with a tyrannical energy capable of purifying all things.

Ikki’s Phoenix’s Wings Rise transformed into a giant crimson bird bathing in fire. Wherever its wings passed, the floor tiles melted into magma. The resplendent phantom of the Phoenix and the golden palm of the Buddha collided in the center of the Virgo Temple.

Two forces potent enough to tear the palace apart were on the verge of detonating. In this hair-breadth moment, a figure enveloped in an ice-blue aura abruptly appeared inside the Virgo Temple.

"Enough! Stop this at once!"

The deep voice carried an unquestionable majesty. Alex raised both hands, his massive Cosmo instantly suppressing the entire battlefield.

Out of thin air, a Goddess appeared within the Virgo Temple. She slowly tipped the water pitcher resting on her shoulder, and an endless, absolute chill poured out from the void into the temple!

The ice-blue Cosmo erupted like a tsunami, instantly freezing the very air itself as a massive block of ice violently erupted from the ground.

This ice crystal was composed of countless overlapping layers of transparent ice, each layer refracting a frigid light. Within the ice crystal, golden lightning coiled and crackled, instantly plunging the temperature inside the hall to its absolute limit.

"Aurora Execution!"

Boom!

Even under Absolute Zero, the golden Buddha palm and the crimson Phoenix still detonated. The violent energies rampaged simultaneously within the confines of the ice crystal!

The sacred energy of Tenma Kofuku attempted to pierce through the ice layer, but it was frozen the instant it made contact, the Buddha light between the palm lines gradually dimming.

Although the rebirth flames of the Phoenix managed to melt a portion of the ice crystal, the golden lightning inside abruptly surged. Tracing the trajectory of the flames, it struck back. The fire of the crimson giant bird shrank violently, emitting what sounded like a shrill, mournful shriek from the immortal bird.

The two ultimate techniques stalemated against the ice crystal for barely three seconds before they were simultaneously frozen and disintegrated.

The golden Buddha palm shattered into a sky full of light particles, and the crimson Phoenix dissipated into scattered sparks of fire!

Even Shaka and Ikki themselves were simultaneously frozen within the ice crystals.

Shaka abruptly opened his eyes, his blue pupils filled with absolute shock.

Tenma Kofuku was the ultimate technique of the Virgo constellation, containing the compassion and majesty of the Buddha. Even among the Gold Saints, very few could take it head-on, let alone freeze and disintegrate it so effortlessly.

The Buddha light surrounding him stagnated for a moment, and his fingers trembled slightly. He clearly couldn’t believe the sight before him.

"This... is this Absolute Zero? Impossible. Even at Absolute Zero, it shouldn’t be possible to freeze the power of the Buddha. Alex’s power is even more terrifying than it was a few years ago!"

Shaka stared fixedly at the golden lightning circulating within the ice crystal, a flash of bewilderment and shock crossing his eyes.

"An ultimate technique capable of simultaneously suppressing both sacred and fire attributes... Just how did he achieve this?"

Off to the side, Ikki was even more dumbfounded, the crimson flames dancing violently around his body.

He had just experienced several rebirths through fire, pushing his Cosmo to unprecedented heights. Yet, his absolute strongest strike was so utterly fragile in front of that man.

The ice crystal not only neutralized his attack but also made him feel a chill originating from the very depths of his soul.

It felt as if, in just a few more seconds, he—along with the Phoenix Cloth—would be completely frozen solid!

The strongest Saint of the current era truly lives up to his reputation!

Alex slowly lowered his hands. Under the direction of his will, the ice crystal gradually dissipated, leaving only unmelted ice shards scattered across the floor.

He looked at Shaka and Ikki, his pitch-black eyes entirely devoid of emotion.

"Shaka, the Holy War is fast approaching, and the crisis within the Sanctuary has yet to be resolved. Do you truly wish to become the one who simply escapes it all?"

Shaka’s heart skipped a beat.

’Just how much does Alex know?’

He closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Ikki, you pass. Alex, wait a moment. I have something to ask you."
