Chapter 346: Chapter 174: The Battle of the Virgo Temple, The Deaths of Shaka and Asmita! (Part 2)

Shaka noticed the Underworld aura flashing through the air. He remained silent for a moment, a trace of understanding flashing in his blue eyes.

He understood Asmita’s intention. Asmita did not want this exquisitely beautiful hall, the Virgo Temple, to be destroyed in their duel.

The battles in the first five temples had been far too peaceful. Someone had to sacrifice their life for these former Saints to make it to Athena!

"Very well!"

He nodded lightly and said no more. His figure transformed into a streak of golden light, taking the lead to enter the passage.

Shaka sat quietly cross-legged between the Twin Sal Trees and closed his eyes!

Asmita followed closely behind. The two Virgo Saints sat quietly facing each other!

After Shaka and Asmita’s figures disappeared into the passage leading to the Twin Sal Trees Garden, the suffocating domain of the Tenbu Horin that enveloped the front of the Virgo Temple also dissipated.

Sisyphus, Kardia, El Cid, Degel, and Albafica immediately felt the pressure lighten. The spatial confinement was lifted, but their five senses had already been completely deprived without them realizing it.

Fortunately, all of them were powerful Gold Saints who had awakened their Seventh Sense. Even with their five senses deprived, it would not affect their ability to move forward.

Boom!

Two golden Eighth Sense Cosmos shot into the sky. The two Virgo Saints striking with their full power was absolutely not something mortals could endure!

"Let’s go!" Sisyphus said in a deep voice. He took one last look at his departing comrades and, hesitating no longer, led the other four swiftly through the unguarded Virgo Temple.

From behind them, deeper and more magnificent Cosmo fluctuations faintly transmitted from the direction of the Twin Sal Trees Garden. It was the ultimate secret techniques, transcending mortality and touching the domain of the gods, brewing and colliding.

Then, those two incomparably powerful and identical Cosmos reached their apex like brilliant fireworks. A silent roar that shook the entire Sanctuary suddenly erupted, and then both fell into utter silence simultaneously, leaving not a single trace of their auras!

Sisyphus paused his steps. Albafica gently closed his eyes. A few ice crystals slid down the corners of Degel’s eyes.

No words were needed; they all understood what had happened.

The two Virgo Gold Saints, who shouldered the exact same destiny and were equally transcendent and free from worldly desires, had perished together in that place of enlightenment using their strongest ultimate techniques!

The Virgo Saints were the reincarnations of Buddha. The strength of both men had reached the absolute peak of what humanity could achieve. Striking with their full power, mutual destruction was inevitable!

At this moment, only five former Saints remained, while six temples of the Zodiac were still left to conquer!

Sisyphus raised his head and forced a smile. "Everyone, we need to push harder. Since we have returned to the Sanctuary once more, let’s not be looked down upon by younger generations!"

The other four did not speak. A silent, sorrowful mood enveloped them as they continued forward. They were retrograde travelers returning from history, and they were also solitary wanderers.

The five remaining Gold Saints, having lost all their five senses, supported each other as they walked toward the Libra Temple!

Athena stood before the Temple of Athena, sensing the increasingly fierce battles down the mountain!

The psychokinetic clashes between Mu and Shion, the lightning fists of Aiolia and Regulus, the aftershocks of the Galaxian Explosions between the two generations of Gemini. The sacred mountain trembled violently under these forces.

Even the Bronze Saints, Shiryu and Ikki, fighting desperately to stop Manigoldo, erupted with Cosmos no less inferior to those of Gold Saints, looking incredibly heroic and tragic!

In a battle between Gold Saints, every strike was enough to crumble mountains and split seas. Even though the former Saints were their seniors, facing the desperate resistance of the current Gold Saints was absolutely not easy.

Their Surplices were covered in cracks and dents, and the consumption of their Cosmos was equally massive.

Athena gripped the scepter in her hand tightly. Several times she wanted to strike the scepter heavily against the ground, yet she hesitated.
