“Nice haul.”
Chen Qiu smiled with satisfaction, unabashedly pocketing the two items into his Heavenly Dao Ring right in front of Kong Ming, with no intention of returning them.
This thousand-year-old Shariputra can be considered a treasure of the Buddhist Sect!
For Buddhist Disciples, it’s like carrying around a personal spring, akin to an Artifact Cultivator with a quick-repairing secret treasure, a weakened version of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill for constant consumption, and an enhancement to all combat capabilities.
...
The difference in combat power between Buddhist Disciples with and without this Shariputra is like night and day.
Whether it’s combat power.
Or the speed of cultivation, they’re entirely different.
That’s good.
Unfortunately, he’s not a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, nor can he focus wholeheartedly on Buddhism; this item is useless to him as he can’t place it inside his Dantian, but perhaps it could have other uses…
Selling it off will do; after all, it’ll end up being sold to members of the Buddhist Sect anyway.
The Buddhist Sect is already after him sparing no expense, how could he possibly fund the enemy.
Sparing no expense… hmm… perhaps there could be peak Divinity Transformation experts, or even stronger ones?
He just needed to make his escape after leaving here; that wouldn’t be a problem.
However, even though he cannot use the item for himself, he could use it to feed his Nascent Soul, which he had experimented with using his Divine Sense; it seemed consumable. Although the Nascent Soul did not open its mouth, at least it didn’t resist.
Previously, when he used his Nascent Soul’s body to feed his Nascent Soul, he could feel a force from the heaven and earth trying to stop him.
He had thought that the only things the Nascent Soul could consume were naturally occurring treasures such as the Eight Desolate Fruit and Evil Wood.
It hadn’t occurred to him that even man-made items like Shariputra could be consumed.
…
Now wasn’t the time to think about this. He would take a look after returning. What’s most important now is that although Kong Ming activated the Merit Defense Order worth 3.4 billion merit points, it was definitely unbreakable by him.
But unlike the Merit Attack Order, once the Merit Defense Order is activated, if no attacks are received, there is no merit point consumption after one hour.
Within that hour, it will deduct merit points according to the strength of the attacks received.
Therefore, he could try to see if he could deplete more of Kong Ming’s merit points.
Right after that—
Dark clouds gathered, and a storm brewed.
Chen Qiu floated in mid-air above the arena, the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella transformed into a Spirit Bow in his hand, and at the same time, a slender purple-blue arrow, covered in arcs of lightning, slowly emerged on the bow.
No need for Divine Sense locking.
Aim, pull the bowstring to its limit, and let it shoot forth!
Simultaneously, the Nascent Soul also shot out towards Kong Ming, with the Divine Sense Attack “Heart-piercing Stab” accompanying it.
Several kinds of attacks launched all at once!
These are pretty much his basic go-to attack methods at the moment.
…
After nearly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the barrier around the arena slowly dissipated, signifying that it was possible to leave the arena, and Kong Ming was the first to fall down strugglingly from the arena.
Before even hitting the ground, he transformed into white light and vanished from the spot, clearly having left the Secret Realm.
But before leaving,
That one look he gave Chen Qiu, filled with anger and fierceness, meant this matter wasn’t over; this arena fight was just a beginning, not an end.
“That’s a pity.”
Chen Qiu shook his head as he looked at Kong Ming dissipating into white light, sighing with some helplessness.
On the merit rankings of the Xuantian Continent, Kong Ming’s merit points were 3.4 billion; Chen Qiu did not know whether that was followed by ten million or ninety million since the rankings rounded the numbers and did not show the details.
But whether it’s ten million or ninety million.
He bombarded Kong Ming with attacks for nearly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, genuinely going all out with firepower—supplementing Spiritual Energy as it ran out, and letting the Nascent Soul take over during the replenishing process.
In the face of all this, right up until Kong Ming left, his merit points were still 3.4 billion.

At least without considering the trailing numbers, there was zero change in the main figure.
Bad news: He hardly consumed any of Kong Ming’s merit points; those merit points were too durable.
Good news: He had even more merit points, a whole 87.9 billion, and if Kong Ming’s 3.4 billion were that durable, then when he activated the Merit Defense Order, he might well be impenetrable within an hour, even if several peak Divinity Transformation experts besieged him.
Yes, 87.9 billion merit points.
Without the slightest change.
Even though over the past few days, he continuously used merit points to view others’ entries, there was virtually no consumption in terms of merit points; at least there was no change in the main figure.
If Kong Ming had taken the offensive with Buddhist Secret Skills as soon as he stepped onto the arena, maybe he wouldn’t have lost so quickly.
Or perhaps he could have been more straightforward.
If he had activated the “Merit Defense Order” as soon as he stepped onto the stage, then indeed Chen Qiu would have been temperless, but neither could Kong Ming kill him. Chen Qiu could simply jump off the arena after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and then come up again after one hour when Kong Ming’s Merit Defense Order ran out.
After all, just occupying the arena for over an hour and a half is enough.
I’ll grant you an hour.
In this way, no matter how you review it, Kong Ming’s chances of victory were not great, since he was just a Nascent Soul-level cultivator who got baffled by two Self-Destruction Terms right at the start.
There was no follow-up.
…
On the arena, Chen Qiu looked at his panel.
