Maria merely smiled at the threat. She surged forward, Partner at her side—fresh from draining the divine blood of Diomedes' strongest warriors, their lifeless corpses left behind.
"{Dharma Treasure: Buddha's Palm of Harmony}!"
RUMBLE!
Massive shockwaves of golden radiance erupted from the statue's mechanical palms, slamming into Maria and Partner. The light burned their souls and bodies alike.
"Yes! Feel it! The might of the Heavenly Palace's Dharma Treasure!"
"You are nothing before us!"
"Die! Die, you wicked, sinful monster!"
"Dieeeee!"
The Immortals and Nascent Soul experts poured every ounce of Spiritual Energy and Heavenly Ki into the Core. The palm attack grew relentlessly stronger, shaking the entire world with its shockwaves.
TRUUUM!
Finally, the blinding light engulfed them both. Maria and Partner exploded into bloody pulp and radiant fragments. The surrounding cultivators stared in stunned triumph.
They had won!
The war was over. Maria was dead.
