Cataclysm King

Chapter 612: A bunch of artifacts, sub-artifacts, and advanced relics exploded
Now that Pope Polarante has shown up, there must be quite a few top-level warriors of the eighth and ninth levels among the fleeing soldiers of the Holy See.

Ji Xun and his men had no intention of underestimating the enemy.

Chujiu communicated with the Shenxu treasure house and brought all the dragon descendants in the city of Tenis into the different dimension.

Only in and out.

Unless the trapped person's understanding of the laws of space is higher than that of the artifact itself, it is impossible to escape.

This will also prevent civilians from being affected.

Catalina used the Moon Goddess magic to exert group illusion control on the entire space.

Originally, the dragon bloodline has a very high immunity to illusions. Even if Katarina is already at the ninth level, the effect of crowd control will not be very good normally.

However, this magical power is more than just that.

Ji Xun was already very familiar with his partners' methods, so he also created some secret techniques for combined attacks.

While Katarina was performing her magic, the colorful JOKER spell card in Ji Xun's hand was already flashing with light: "Poker Game·Palace Masquerade!"

The rules changed, and the coronation palace became Ji Xun's performance stage. On the stage, all performances seemed real.

At the same time, Ji Xun had already performed another very common transformation spell: "Spell: Transform into a Dragon."

In an instant, a loud dragon roar resounded throughout the city.

In the eyes of those people in the Holy See, Ji Xun's body suddenly swelled up and turned into a huge green dragon.

This image was the "plague dragon" Redeglie that he had killed before. Ji Xun memorized all the characteristics of the evil dragon, even the dragon's might, and simulated it almost exactly.

In the illusion, he descended like a giant dragon!
Dragonborn inherited some of the blood talents of the dragon and have almost no shortcomings.

However, the dragon bloodline itself is the biggest weakness.

The pressure of blood makes the Dragonborn feel fear and shock from the depths of their souls when facing a pure-blooded dragon, and their strength will be greatly limited.

The higher the purity of the dragonborn's blood, the stronger the shock.

In the city of Tenis today, all the dragonborn from the New Taren Empire have been injected with genetic drugs, so the impact on them is limited.

In contrast, the elite members of the Holy See are all high-purity dragon descendants and were greatly affected.

Katarina's group illusion was designed to enhance Ji Xun's transformation, so that almost all dragonborn would believe that a real pure-blooded dragon had descended!
As soon as the dragon transformation technique was used, the dragon descendants of the Holy See that were originally transformed and wreaking havoc in the sky were instantly shocked and fell to the ground. The heavily armored knights who were fiercely charging the Holy Dragon Knights and the Judgment Corps were also shocked on the spot.

In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of elite enemy troops were frightened.

As morale rose and fell, the morale of the people in the New Tarun Empire was greatly boosted.

Sixteen Titan mechas and thousands of Hunter mechas also charged forward in one go.

The legions of the Holy See froze in place, and were immediately thrown to the ground.

Ji Xun used the dragon transformation technique to catch the Holy See off guard.

The situation was reversed in an instant.

If the fighting continues like this, these tens of thousands of defeated soldiers will be killed in no time.

However, Ji Xun didn't think that those guys from the Holy See would be killed so easily.

Otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape here.

Seeing the group being hit by the illusion, in a residential building, a ninth-level bald monk wearing a robe suddenly chanted a spell and divine power surged. The eye-shaped brooch in his hand became dazzling.

In an instant, divine light became brighter, and in the blink of an eye, a hot sphere that looked like an eye appeared in the sky.

As soon as the flaming eyes appeared, the moon dimmed immediately. Although the group illusion was not broken, it was disrupted.

The Dragonborn who had been shocked just a moment ago now seemed to be waking up from a hangover, having mostly sobered up from their drowsy state.

Ji Xun recognized the identity of the old man, who was also a top-level expert, Gan Mo, the dean of the Holy See's Ascetic Monastery.

He looked up at the eye in the sky again and chuckled, "Yo, [Eye of Ugarte]?"

He had seen an introduction to this in the classics of the Royal Academy. It said that this was a heretical artifact produced in a relic thousands of years ago.

The eye symbolizes wisdom, power, and the blessing and protection of the god of sky.

It has a miraculous effect in breaking illusions.

However, it is recorded in the scriptures that this thing was regarded as a heresy by the Holy See and sealed in the Vatican's treasury in the holy city.

I didn't expect that these guys would use such "heretical" things just to survive.

Ji Xun looked at it and chuckled.

Not surprising, but a little pleasantly surprised.

All those dusty things were brought out, which shows that those guys have a lot of good stuff.

As soon as the bald monk showed his head, a domineering aura instantly locked onto this guy.

There were only the sounds of "bang, bang, bang" of gas explosions, and Gong Wu, who had been waiting for a big battle, rushed forward with a shroud of black flames.

"Boom!"

There was a crash and dust flew up.

Most of the city block was reduced to ruins in the collision between the two.

Gong Wu, who had already reached the level of a saint half a year ago, also successfully entered the ninth level.

His fighting power is not weaker than some veteran ninth-level warriors.

At least in the short term, there is no possibility of failure.

Pope Polarante was surrounded by Qin Rushi and Xie Guozhong and could not spare any effort. Dean Gan Mo of the Ascetic Monastery was also stopped by Gong Wu.
Those guys from the Holy See were also stunned. They obviously didn't expect that a group of East Wilderness natives, who they thought they could easily destroy, would actually bring them such a big surprise.

After all, they were elite troops, and they realized immediately that they had to go all out in order to leave alive.

The ninth-rank Grand Knight of the Vatican Inquisition raised the horn and blew the order to charge.

The melodious sound of the horn resounded throughout the space, boosting the morale of the Vatican.

Ji Xun took a look and found it was another top-level relic - [Dragon God's War Horn].

Boost morale and group frenzy.

"charge!"

Seeing this, Andre did not hesitate at all. He waved the bloody battle flag and led his Iris elite and a group of mechanical legions to rush forward.

In a blink of an eye, the whole city was plunged into fierce fighting.

But no matter how you look at it, the New Talen side, which had been well prepared, was suppressing the Holy See.

Ji Xun was also looking forward to these enemies coming up with some "slightly innovative" means to save the situation.

As the music was being played, a melodious sound of piano began to sound.

The sound of the piano seemed to instantly make people lose their fighting spirit and want to enjoy the peace and tranquility in the land of gentleness.

The momentum of the Iris Legion's charge suddenly slowed down.

Ji Xun glanced at the harp in the hands of the red-robed archbishop in the crowd, and recognized that it was a treasure - [Apollo's Harp].

This is an item that once flowed out of the Taren Palace, an exclusive treasure in the [7 of Clubs - Musician] series.

Not only can it hypnotize people, but it can also penetrate armor and cause sonic damage over a large area.

This is obviously a means to restrain heavy armored knights and mechanical legions.

Catalina, who was standing by, saw the treasure appear, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said, "What a rare relic, I just need a suitable musical instrument."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was already chanting an increasingly loud war song.

The song blessed by divine power seemed to have a magical power, making the original hypnotic song seem like an accompaniment, and the melody was gradually dominated by Catalina.

The murderous intent of the sound wave immediately turned invisible and instead rebounded onto the Holy Dragon Knights.

If Katarina is not eliminated, this large-scale illusion control will be the end of the Holy See's Song of Death.

In Ji Xun's eyes, the laws of war are tangible entities, and he has already deduced the cause and effect lines in his mind.

The enemy will definitely kill Katarina.

Almost unsurprisingly, a few cold rays flashed by.

When I looked again, Chujiu had appeared next to Catalina.

On the thick frost shield, three arrows that were sure to hit the target were already flying in the air.

Even if it was blocked by the shield, the arrow still kept spinning rapidly, as if it would not stop until it killed the target.

Another famous treasure, the heroic weapon [Hercules’ Poison Arrow]!
Legend has it that the gift from the gods to the hero is a bow with unlimited range and arrows soaked in the poisonous blood of the nine-headed Hydra.

It has the power to kill gods.

Unfortunately, the archer a few kilometers away was of a lower rank and was unable to exert much power.

Even if three sets of arrows were shot at him in succession, they were all frozen by Chujiu's ice and snow field.

Catalina looked at Chujiu who helped her out, smiled and said, "Thank you~"

Chujiu nodded without saying anything more.

A large-scale war is one in which both sides add chips until one side can no longer add chips, and then the winner is determined.

The people in the Holy See then realized that they had misjudged the strength of the "New Talen Empire" and forced their way into the city like a beast entering a trap.

Faced with the threat of death, they can only struggle desperately and keep throwing out their cards.

[Frey's Sword of Victory], [Angebui's Psychedelic Necklace], [Parvati's Mirror], [Victory Cheat Scale], [God's Doom Dice], [God of War Hammer], [Dragon Knight Morton's Armor], [Storm God's Skull].
In the blink of an eye, all kinds of high-level relics, sub-artifacts, and artifacts in the hands of the people of the Holy See were displayed.

Ji Xun was like reading an encyclopedia, seeing one famous relic after another in history.

The guys from the Holy See were able to break out of the Battle of the Holy City thanks to these relics with magical effects.

However, the New Tarun Empire is not afraid at all.

The number and combat power of top fighters such as Chujiu, Gong Wu, Catalina, and Andre are no longer inferior to the defeated army of the Holy See of Color.

The most important thing is that the mechanical army played a huge role on the battlefield!
Sixteen Titan battle armors and more than a thousand Hunter God mecha legions are the main attacking legion.

Facing the torrent of steel, the Holy See's heavy cavalry corps, mostly composed of sixth- and seventh-rank masters, had no advantage at all.

Once the mechanical army's group-controlled gravitational field was activated, the enemy was like a beast trapped in a quagmire, unable to struggle, and its combat power was restricted to the point where it could not be fully exerted.

When a body of steel faces off against the flesh and blood body of the dragonborn, the flesh and blood body will always suffer in a head-on collision.

The most exaggerated one is Dong Qi’s mechanical angel!

After the last decisive battle in the East Wilderness, Ji Xun and his men seized the remains of the mechanical angel from the Orlan Royal Court, as well as the angel mechanical arm that Dong Qi originally had in his hand. They were repaired after being sent to the New World.

Three thousand years ago, this mechanical angel was a top-level mecha that could fight against gods.

Even though there are still some flaws after the repair, dealing with these Dragonborn card masters is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. The [Annihilation Cannon] can kill one with one shot.

The alloy body of the mechanical angel was immune to almost all means under the rules. Dong Qi fought his way in and out of the enemy army seven times, and no one could do anything to him.

Even if they were trapped by some high-level relics with strange and bizarre effects, Nan Jing and Chu Jiu would help them escape.

The battle situation is very good.

On the other side, on the throne, Ji Xun did not take any action.

Because his intuition told him that there must be some "big fish" among these enemies.

Pope Polarante's sneak attack failed to kill him before, and those enemies obviously knew his strength.

It was precisely because he did not take action that some dangerous guys kept their heads down and dared not show up.

Ji Xun carefully observed every corner of the battlefield, and carefully deduced every person on the battlefield in his mind.

At this moment, every person in this secret space seemed to be connected by an invisible line, just like chess pieces on a chessboard, driven by a mysterious force.

Ji Xun is the "king chess piece" who sits on the throne and does not move.

He saw the entire chessboard clearly.

Originally, the human mind was unable to handle such a complex war situation at the same time.

But after lighting the divine fire, everything became easy.

Everyone's weapons, strength, movements, and awareness on the battlefield are all in full view.

As Ji Xun looked at it, he indeed saw something strange!

As soon as we walked out of the residential building in West City, it seemed as if a mysterious force made the war avoid that side!
"Hey, are you hiding here?"

Ji Xun muttered something in his heart. He didn't think about what was going on. He took a step forward and teleported to Xicheng District.

As soon as he appeared, a gravitational field that distorted space spread out around his body.

The surrounding buildings seemed to be pulled toward the ground by a terrifying force, and the bricks and stones were torn into powder before they could even begin to peel off.

"not good!"

As if hearing an urgent shout, three figures rushed out from a small building. Although the cloak made it difficult to see their faces, the rusty trident in the leader's hand allowed Ji Xun to recognize them.

[Poseidon's Trident], one of the three giant artifacts!
I've seen it before in the Dead Zone.

"Yo Second Holy Son?"

Ji Xun looked at this familiar artifact, a teasing arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before, he didn't understand the situation of the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon, but now it seems that it was some method used by the Dragon God Ariel to prolong his life.

Similar to a clone.

No wonder Pope Polarante looked like he was trying his best to attract fire, it turned out he was covering this person.

Realizing he was exposed, the Second Holy Son no longer hid and released his magic with his hand: "Magic Art - World-Destroying Flood."

As this ritual was performed, the sky seemed to have a hole in it, and a massive flood rushed in.

If it was before, Ji Xun would have been a little bit afraid.

But now the Dragon God Ariel’s life and death is unknown, and he is just a clone, so how much of a threat can he pose?

The divine arts that he could not understand before were now clear to him.

Manipulate the rules to forcibly gather water elements and create a flood that is more powerful than ordinary means.

Seeing this move, Ji Xun chanted the incantation softly: "Divine Realm: The True Explanation of All Things!"

In an instant, a large black area appeared around his body. The surging sea water rushed over and broke it into pieces in an instant.

The Second Holy Son understood something when he saw this.

Others couldn't understand this method of easily dissolving the magic, but he could!

Ji Xun didn't give this guy a second chance. He teleported over and raised his hand to punch him.

The two guards beside him stood in front of him, and with a "bang" sound, it was like hitting a thick iron mountain, and Ji Xun's fist was numb from the shock.

"Supreme Hegemony?"

It wasn't just the armor with the noble golden dragon pattern. Ji Xun also grinned as he looked at the dark golden skin that appeared on the two men's bodies.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary Dragon Guard.

It is said that only the commander of the Holy Dragon Iron Guard is qualified to serve as the Dragon God's bodyguard.

These two guards are both level nine.

[Dragon God Armor] is also very famous. Ji Xun had heard of it in the Royal Academy.

It is said that this is a sub-god-level armor forged with the dragon scales of a divine dragon, and there are only nine sets in the world!

Dragon bloodline, dragon armor, and the secret technique of the supreme body have already given the two guards an almost invincible defense below the god level.

If it had happened before, Ji Xun would have been helpless.

But now, he raised his hand and two JOKER cards glowed with light, and the rules were instantly formed: "Poker Game: See the Dragon Unarmored!"

Others may not understand the secret of the supreme domineering body, but Ji Xun knows it very well.

Any rules that can be understood can be changed!
With the blessing of the rules, he punched out with both fists again: "Ba Quan·Sky God Strike!"

With a punch in the air, the entire void seemed to condense into a huge gravitational vortex on his fist.

"Oh!"

There was a loud bang.

Ji Xun's punch completely ignored the defense of the Dragon God Guard's armor and hit the guy in front of him in the chest.

"Pfft~"

The Dragon God Iron Guard spat out a mouthful of blood through his helmet, and scarlet blood gushed out.

This scene also made the Second Holy Son's expression instantly turn ugly.

Because the [Colorful JOKER] in Ji Xun's hand was obtained by killing the Holy Son Cheresa, and this second Holy Son knows the function of this Curse Card better than anyone else.

One person was seriously injured, and the barrier formed by the two guards was broken in an instant. Ji Xun did not give this guy any chance at all. He teleported out, a layer of strange black light lingering on his fist, and stabbed forward with a knife.

The Second Holy Son felt the hand reaching out from the void behind him, and his face changed drastically in an instant!
After all, he has some knowledge of the Dragon God Aierel. Even if he has not condensed the divine nature and divine fire, he is still not something that can be hurt by an ordinary ninth-level cultivator.

But at this moment, he clearly felt the threat of death!
Ji Xun certainly knew that this guy had a treasure protecting him, and he was extremely powerful, so ordinary means would be useless to him.

So, he used the new ability he had recently acquired.

This black fire was none other than the mysterious dark matter energy on the bodies of the Weeping Angels.

This is the terrifying energy that can only be slightly touched after the "Lightless Sun" has been cultivated to an extremely high level.

This dark energy has a very outrageous property, which is "annihilation"!
It can annihilate all matter and energy it touches!

Even Ji Xun couldn't understand it at his current level, but fortunately he had the Weeping Angel to refer to, so he copied it.

Sure enough, this method worked as expected.

He stretched out his hand, and the protective divine light of the Second Holy Son was instantly extinguished.

Even though the black fire burned through the protective light shield and extinguished it, it was enough.

Ji Xun threw a punch.

The strange power directly poured into the body of the Second Holy Son!

There was only a muffled "bang" sound, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of broken armor and cracked bones, and the figure was smashed away like lightning.

"Boom!" The figure flying backwards knocked down hundreds of houses on the street, and then disappeared in the dust.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun smiled slyly, forcibly suppressed his restless blood, and stared at the ruins in the distance.

This "black fire" is indeed useful, but the amount of magic power it consumes is a bit exaggerated.

He had no intention of paying any attention to the Dragon Guard that rushed over and just wanted to teleport over again to finish him off.

The Holy Son of the Dragon must die!

However, before he could move, he heard someone chanting magic in the dark: "Law Three: What I have judged is forbidden in the space of truth!"

As soon as Ji Xun tore through the void, the crack in front of him closed instantly like the surface of water.

Someone has changed the spatial rules of this area.

You don’t have to look at it to know.

The only one who can stop me is Pope Polarante who holds the [Orb of Royal Power]!
as predicted.

In a blink of an eye, I saw a bearded old man with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and several bloodstains on his body, rushing over panting.

This guy was already in a difficult situation himself, and he had to distract himself to protect the Second Holy Son. In the blink of an eye, Qin Rushi, who had caught up with him, slashed him in the back with a sword, and blood splattered everywhere.

[Royal Orb] is powerful and can strengthen the power of rules.

However, the ability of the [Olympus Holy Sword], which is also one of the four royal sacred artifacts, is to break the rules.

Moreover, this sword is also known as the "Sword of the Regicide" and has a special restraint on royal power.

Qin Rushi was holding the big sword at this moment, chasing and slashing all the way.

The Airel Empire was already on the brink of collapse, and Pope Polarant had already suffered greatly from the backlash of royal power.

It was already difficult for him to deal with Qin Rushi.

What's more, there is Xie Guozhong, the ninth-level dark descendant.

Lao Xie is neither a human nor a vampire now. He has turned into a legendary race of the abyss - the Darkspawn.

Usually, the Darkin refers to those who have been corrupted by dark forces or were once vessels for the descent of gods, and who have transformed into powerful beings that are both good and evil after regaining their consciousness.

The Pope was doomed to fail, and Ji Xun originally didn't want to pay any attention to him.

However, after being interrupted by this, when he looked back, the "Aura" of the Second Holy Son had disappeared!

"Ran away?"

Ji Xun frowned.

It was obvious that the guy knew that there was no chance of winning if he continued to fight, and the best option was to escape as soon as possible.

"A divine weapon that can conceal one's aura?"

Ji Xun was also a little troubled. He carefully sensed the area but didn't find any traces.

It was as if a mysterious force had severed all cause and effect, causing the Second Holy Son to disappear out of thin air.

Ji Xun knew that in order to achieve this, some rules must have been changed.

It can only be a divine weapon.

Ji Xun was also a little helpless.

But that guy was determined to escape, and no one below the god level could stop him.

After thinking for a while, Ji Xun realized that he had gained nothing and stopped worrying about it.

Since the Holy Son of Tianlong chose to abandon these subordinates and escape, there is no suspense in this battle.

When Ji Xun joined the battle, the balance of victory immediately tilted.

Wherever he appears, the outcome of a fierce battle is immediately decided.

Below the ninth level, it can be broken in one move.

Above the ninth level, there were already experts holding them back, so once he went there, he would be able to gain an advantage immediately;

Even if the legion was charging, Ji Xun could teleport into the enemy camp and immediately break through the battle formation like a sharp knife.

On the battlefield, Ji Xun's figure flashed frequently.

The battle is also accelerating towards its end.

Finally, more than half an hour later, Pope Polarante was pierced through the chest by Qin Rushi's royal sword, and the morale of the Holy See collapsed instantly.

The battle is over.

There are still some sporadic battles that are still being finalized.

Ji Xun, however, has become idle.

He was observing carefully from the highest point of the city, still looking for the whereabouts of the Second Holy Son.

Although I know that guy might be hiding nearby, there is nothing I can do if I can't find him because of the protection of the artifact.

Soon, the battle was over.

Chujiu removed the restrictions on the Shenxu Treasury, and everyone began to take inventory of the battlefield.

Ji Xun had given up the search for the Second Holy Son and was happily preparing to count the spoils.

Without the lackeys of the Holy See and the support of other dragons, with just a clone of Ariel, the threat posed by him is very limited even if he escapes to the Old World.

However, unexpectedly, the surprise came very suddenly.

No one noticed, outside the East City.

A guy wearing an invisibility cloak was carefully avoiding all sentries and preparing to escape from the city.

But just when this guy thought he had perfectly avoided the inspections of all the sentries, his feet suddenly went soft, as if he stepped on something soft in the sand.

Like a dead body?
Yes, there is no breath, it can only be a corpse.

However, before he could even think of it, he heard a strange cry coming from the sand: "Ouch, who is so blind! Someone stepped on me!"

Looking down, a wretched old man with missing front teeth jumped out like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

The Second Holy Son was also dumbfounded: When the hell did someone hide underground?

It was none other than Old Man Xu who had found a place to take refuge.

He spat the sand in his mouth and looked around in confusion: No one?
This old man has a talent for seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and he can always find a good place to hide in dangerous situations.

So at the beginning of the war, he chose to hide in the sand outside the city.

The [Pluto's Invisibility Cloak] of the three giant artifacts also has a feature, which is to guide people to always choose the safest place to hide.

The two lucky halos just collided quietly.

Obviously, Old Man Xu is better.

The Second Holy Son, who was escaping, happened to step on Old Man Xu who was taking shelter.

The call of that drake's voice sounded like an alarm, and Ji Xun in the city could hear it clearly.

Before the Second Holy Son's face could change drastically, a fist came towards his face from the crack in space.
