Bamuta gave his all in the battle, attempting multiple times to inflict a fatal wound on the Greedy Angel, but he knew this outcome was inevitable.

Though he had grown considerably on the path of angels, without a change in nature, he was still unable to achieve his goal. Naturally, his courage to come indicated preparation; he had one move left, a method obtained from Tishili.

Li Xin’s soul descended upon Batty, witnessing the battle between the two angels.

The corrupted Fallen Angel carried a similar aura to Oliver. Despite possessing potent Spiritual Ability, it was murky and differed significantly from Oliver’s divine aura. Their attacks couldn’t be compared either, and with this contrast, he could fully understand the significance of divinity as mentioned by Cancer.

A complete suppression at the same rank, from a certain perspective, even dragon battle energy was akin to the Ancient Dragon’s divinity.

In the midst of battle, Bamuta was pressed into a corner by the Greedy Angel, with six arms attacking madly. The entire space was filled with searing blood-colored flames that were intensely corrosive, leaving Bamuta perilously close to disaster.

Li Xin was not in a hurry to act; the Lamp-Burning Angel must have a final move. He felt it... the dice’s freedom.

?

Li Xin suddenly realized a problem: the dice hadn’t malfunctioned for a long time, and he hadn’t entered the Holy Land, aside from here.

This time, the sensation was clearer; the freedom and fulfillment of the dice existed only within the Holy Land.

Could this be the Holy Land? Or perhaps Mist City resides within the Holy Land?

Boom...

Bamuta’s Spiritual Ability suddenly surged to match the height of the Greedy Angel, and Yalamu was extremely anxious because this was the self-ignition ability taught by the elder, the final move on the Lightkeeper’s path; the ability, originally sealed and extinguished, was rediscovered by Bamuta.

The spontaneous combustion of the Lightkeeper.

The Greedy Angel was also shocked but soon understood, gleefully fighting Bamuta, both sides suffering continuous injuries.

Lin! Bing!

The Immovable Ming King Seal followed by the Great Vajra Wheel Seal; using power here would cause a siphon effect. Li Xin directly endowed Batty with power, and Batty immediately radiated intense golden light. The golden brilliance illuminated the entire cavern, stunning the battling angels, for they had never seen such light before.

The golden light!

Batty pulled out the wooden fish, the little mallet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to be lifted. At this moment, Li Xin could offer no assistance, struggling not to be drained. The Third Life was crucial; without it, each attempt at power meant risking everything.

The Greedy Angel felt a threat never before experienced. Its body erupted with ferocious faces, the madly corrosive red flames indiscriminately assailing everyone, even the chains binding it started burning. Bamuta also noticed, blocking recklessly; though unable to break the chains’ restraint, the red flames managed to penetrate the barrier!

Inherited experiences were not absolute truths; they had been deceived.

Bamuta would rather die than allow the Lightkeeper’s legacy to be interrupted, using his body to shield all attacks aimed at Batty and others. His blue flame gun desperately waved in defense, burning life force every single moment.

"Yalamu, take Batty away, quickly!" Bamuta roared, unable to hold out much longer.

Witnessing the repercussions of his arrogance and impatience, Batty’s body felt ethereal; this was his sin, which he chose to repay with his own life, not others’.

Suddenly, the little mallet in his hand became light.

Dong~~~~

Amitabha’s light burst forth.

The golden light violently scorched the corrupted Greedy Angel; golden flames ignited upon its body, yet Bamuta remained unharmed. He would not squander this divinely granted opportunity, furiously assaulting the Greedy Angel with his blue flame gun, each thrust driven by surging Spiritual Ability.

Amidst explosive detonations, the Greedy Angel’s enormous body burst apart accompanied by flames; chunks in mid-air continued to blaze from golden mixed with blue flames.

Batty’s eyes flamed with golden light, hands clasped together, invoking the Heavenly Mother Blade’s Third Life: If one can transform objects, one is akin to the Tathagata.

Li Xin’s body relaxed, the extraction of Spiritual Ability abruptly reduced by half; the luminous glow in his eyes, Batty provided the majority energy himself.

This was a major change, bestowing powerful Spiritual Ability and Life Force from the Third Life.

Batty stood up, others gazing at the golden-light-emitting Batty.

At this moment, Batty clasped hands together, "Thank you, sir."

The previously dark blade of the Heavenly Mother emitted a layer of golden light; the next second, Batty surpassed the angelic pressure barrier, instantly facing the monstrous creature. The dreadful beast sensed immense crisis toward the "weak" being in front; the golden glow seemed inherently restrictive, inciting fear. Nonetheless, faced with the Lamp-Burning Angel and Batty’s assault, survival desire outweighed all, its body erupted with crimson fire waves, charging at Batty.

Li Xin couldn’t articulate Batty’s fearless willingness to die, immediately executing the Leo Seal, celestial echoes resounded: the sound of "Zhe!"

Suddenly, the Greedy Angel’s frenzied body slowed, as if something suppressed it, voices pierced its soul, faces within it twisted with mourning, absorbed souls struggled against control.

Seeing this, Bamuta instantly concentrated all power, thrusting the blue flame gun into the Greedy Angel’s massive frame; however, its blade also slashed at him. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Batty’s Mother Blade arrived, disregarding attacks, it pierced the monster’s body, trading life for life.

The golden light enveloped the figure like water pouring into an oil pot, causing instant detonations. The enormous Greedy Angel blasted Batty aside, lifting Bamuta to throw him aside, then roared skyward, arms madly tearing at itself, revealing faces struggling in agony.

Within, Bamuta saw his mentor’s face as the Greedy Angel’s reverted to its original form, staring firmly at Batty surrounded by Yalamu and others. Tears of blood streamed from it, "It’s redemption..."

A piercing cry rang out, followed by countless echoing voices, innumerable souls clamored for redemption, awaiting this day, this moment, for ages.

Everyone watched as the Greedy Angel shredded itself, the golden light thoroughly destructing its flesh.

When the Greedy Angel turned to ashes, the door ahead opened.

Bamuta and others stared at Batty; Batty rose again, his Third Life newly awakened, physical and spiritual at peak, aware sir had lent him aid.

Following Batty’s lead, the group finally crossed the threshold, outside lay a broad river.

It was their first time witnessing a river, awed by the majestic spectacle; yet upon stepping out, they immediately sensed a shared dilemma.

Their Spiritual Ability had vanished.

And this desolate subterranean river ominously shimmered with blackish-purple light, plunging everyone into a temporary silence.

"Elder, should we calculate time, return first, then seek opportunities to explore?" Batty suddenly inquired.

Bamuta paused, then smiled, "Of course, Lord Batty!"

Despite hope standing before them, none hesitated, decisively retreating; timing was just right, with newfound confidence unmatched.

Retreating into the cavern, Batty silently kneeled on the ground, others followed suit beside him, hands clasped together, "Thank you, my Lord."

"Amitabha Buddha." Instinctively, Li Xin spoke out, then regretted it, forgetting to switch to the Hera Language and instead used Chinese.

On hearing the ethereal voice, Bamuta and others froze, for besides Batty, they too heard it, finally sensing divine will.

"Amitabha Buddha?" Batty halting yet warmly repeated.

"Light," Li Xin replied.
