The human statue with stretched wings was channeling ki energy to Ning Qing. Astara closed her eyes due to the glare light that the ki energy created.
"Ning Qing deliberately took the time to perfect the bodhi statue" said the crystal inside Astara.
Astara tried to approach the statue by sensing its ki energy, but the power of the giant statue was so great that Astara bounced.
"I can't get close to him."
The enegi ki light was dim. A large tall god armed with a long sword with fiery red eyes stared intently at Astara. Ning Qing returned with much greater strength.
Astara was stunned to see it. "I feel a great power within him."
"The emperor of darkness has absorbed the energy of the statue made of bodhi trees" said Narendra.
"What's that?" ask Astara.
"Bodhi Tree is a god tree that has immense power. Once upon a time, the gods absorbed the energy of the bodhi tree while doing battle against demons and assyuras. However, the bodhi tree was already gone when the star god cut it.
"I've heard that story, that cutting the bodhi tree is not a star god, but Soma who is influenced by the aura of darkness" Astara said.
"Perhaps back then, Ning Qing had purposely hidden the tree trunk for a sculpture to make. If all the strength of the bodhi tree is absorbed, then he will have a terrible power" replied Narendra's crystal.
Ning Qing looked with his red eyes at the galaxi crystal talking to Astara. Ning Qing quickly darted there behind Astara.
"Have you finished talking?"
Astara flinched, spontaneously hitting Ning Qing, but with a blink of an eye she again disappeared and was already on top.
Ning Qing smiled sinisterly looking at Astara. Astara tried to attack with a giant ball of energy. Ning Qing looked unmoved, a ball of energy surging into his body to form a thick billowing smoke. However, Ning Qing was not injured in the slightest.
"He was not hurt at all" Astara said in surprise.
With a quick motion that was invisible Ning Qing approached Astara and kicked her to the point of being thrown away.
"It hurts more than the previous kick." Astara appeared with her full strength attacking Ning Qing.
Astara attacks can be easily avoided. Ning Qing clasped Astara's hand firmly, then beat her blindly until Astara's body went limp.
"So this is just the power of four galaxi stones." Ning Qing threw Astara buried by the ruins of the ground.
The protective golden armour is chipped off. Astara looks helpless.The sword Narendra fell trying to call Astara to resuscitate him. Ning Qing opened his fingers directing to Astara.
His palm let out a giant black sphere accompanied by a flash of lightning. Slowly the black sphere fell down and blew up the ruins that buried Astara. The effect of the explosion formed a large crater. Astara's body was also lost along with a puff of smoke that disappeared following the wind's direction.
Ning Qing was surprised. "Where is he? There's no way his body would be destroyed that easily."
The king of Ashura who recovered from his wounds dragged Astara into the ground. Astara took an hour to recover.
Elsewhere, Jiarong who had already arrived at the place of the gods immediately healed with healing water. The gods who had previously received energy from Astara pubn recovered quickly. Deaf with golden aura energy sensed a huge energy being in the western direction of the sky.
"What's going on, Suli?" ask Jiarong.
