Cataclysm King

Chapter 613 Angel Resurrection
I have to say that this Second Holy Son is extremely powerful.

Even if Ji Xun has now ignited the divine fire, he will be unable to do anything to the guy with the two divine weapons in his hands in a short period of time.

This fight was a life-and-death struggle and was extremely fierce.

Fortunately, the battle in Tenis City has basically ended, and Qin Rushi arrived in time to help.

The two of them worked together and put in a lot of effort before they finally killed it.

Not long after, in the huge crater outside the city that looked like a meteorite impact, Ji Xun panted and looked at the corpse in front of him, and exhaled a sigh of relief: "Finally killed it."

He picked up the black cloak draped over the corpse, his expression becoming amused, and muttered, "Tsk tsk. It turned out to be [Pluto's Invisibility Cloak]. No wonder, it can even block cause and effect logic."

After seeing this divine weapon, he finally understood how the Second Holy Son had escaped right under his nose.

I tried it, and putting on the cloak was like disappearing from the world.

A definite life-saving artifact.

Including the [Poseidon's Trident] next to the corpse, there is also the [Zeus's Thunder Scepter] obtained from the previous ambush of the First Son of God.

The three ancient artifacts that were said to have been forged by the Cyclops have now been seen in person.

Ji Xun once again felt deeply moved that the Holy See really had so many good things.

After countless years of plundering, almost all the good things discovered by adventurers from secret and dangerous places in the entire southern continent are in the hands of these supreme rulers.

Now that the empire has collapsed, it has benefited Ji Xun and his men.

The harvest is more than just treasure.

After killing the Second Holy Son, Ji Xun clearly felt that the aura of royal power lingering around him had become even stronger.

Qin Rushi, who also had a royal destiny, also benefited greatly.

The Second Holy Son is the incarnation of the Dragon God Ariel and the actual ruler of the Southern Continent. He himself possesses an extremely strong royal destiny.

The special extraordinary ritual of "regicide" is the most direct way to steal the royal power and destiny.

Qin Rushi had killed Pope Polarante before, and now his luck has surged again.

At this moment, the Valkyrie halo on her body was dazzlingly bright, and the shadow of the immortal Bai Qiu behind her was also shining with golden light.

This is already a sign of igniting the divine fire.

Bai Qiu's amber vertical pupils were looking at the corpse on the ground, then at Ji Xun, his eyes were very complicated.

The reason why it chose Qin Rushi as the contract master was not only because she was the heir of the Bai family, but more importantly because of the divination given to it by Old Man Xu a hundred years ago.

Now it seems to have come true.

The new Talen Empire was established, and the host killed two powerful men with the fate of supreme kingship in succession. As a result, Bai Qiu's bottleneck that had trapped him for nearly three thousand years was broken by chance.

Ji Xun had already gone through that step, so of course he knew what happened.

He met Bai Qiu's gaze and nodded.

Qin Ru looked at each other and smiled.

It is of course a happy thing for close friends to take that step.

Ji Xun didn't say much and began to count the spoils.

He pulled off the storage ring from the corpse, and seeing the mountain of top-grade materials, scrolls, and various treasures inside, he grinned and said, "I've made a fortune."

As expected, this is the treasure trove that those guys in the Holy See want to make a comeback.

The fact that Ji Xun could have gotten rich overnight at his current level shows how outrageously valuable the things in the storage ring are.

said with no exaggeration.

This storage ring alone is more valuable than all the treasures of the entire royal family of the Oran Royal Court in the East Wilderness.

Moreover, the corpse of the Second Holy Son is also top-quality material.

This is not an ordinary ninth-order pure-blooded dragon, but the incarnation of the Dragon God, and its research value is extremely high.

Ji Xun collected the body and planned to bring it to Master Merlin for research later.

Soon, the three of them cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the city of Tenis.

From a distance, he could see two disciples who had been waiting at the city gate.

Ordinary people cannot intervene in the battle with the Holy Son of Tianlong. They are curious and worried and can only wait.

Seeing their teacher come back safely, Darcy and Isabel also waved their hands excitedly: "Teacher! Teacher's wife!"

The two men looked like they had just been through a fierce battle, with their clothes torn everywhere.

Ji Xun smiled and led his two disciples into the city.

There were still sporadic battles in the city, as the guards were catching some escaped criminals lurking in residential areas.

War is a winner-takes-all game. The defeated troops of the Holy See were completely wiped out, and everything they had became spoils of war.

This group of defeated soldiers of the Holy See carried the last remaining luck of the entire Arel Empire.

Now that it has been wiped out, the good fortune has been bestowed on the "New Taren Empire".

Not only Emperor Ji Xun, but everyone was blessed with good luck.

Chujiu, Nan Jing, Catalina, Qin Rushi, Dong Qi, Gong Wu, Andre, Xie Guozhong as well as the Mechanical Legion, Iris Legion, etc., all of them had the joy of victory on their faces.

The spoils of war also gave everyone constant surprises.

The Holy Dragon Knights, the Vatican Inquisition, the Ascetics, and the remaining elite members of the two royal families of Red Dragon and Black Dragon all carried a large number of treasures.

Every set of armor worn by those traditional knights is priceless.

After the final count, I found that it was even more exaggerated than expected.

One set of artifact suit [Black Dragon King Gunnir Heavy Armor], two sets of sub-god-level [Dragon Armor], fifty-one sets of epic-quality [Dragon Knight General Armor], seven hundred sets of legendary-quality heavy armor [Paladin Armor], and one thousand eight hundred sets of dark gold [Glow Armor].
There are countless weapons of various types, including swords, axes and shields.

Then there are the robes of the Ascetic Order and the Sorcerer Card Masters, spell cards, magic wands, scrolls, gems... piled up like mountains.

Ji Xun was a man who had seen big scenes, but the moment he saw the list of trophies, he was truly eye-opening.

The treasures that these guys in the Holy See had plundered for countless years were now being taken advantage of by the newly established empire.

Originally, Ji Xun felt that the treasury of his new empire was empty, but now the problem was solved immediately.

With these equipments, the overall strength of this new imperial legion was greatly improved.

Various artifacts and sub-artifacts were distributed to the top warriors of Gongwu; most of the armor was equipped to the traditional knights of the Iris Corps; and the rare metal materials were sent to the mechanical city of the East Wasteland New World as soon as possible.
In the near future, more Titan armors and even mechanical angels will be forged.

The Pope of the Holy See and a group of elite soldiers died in the city of Tenis. For Ji Xun, this was just an expected war event.

After a brief period of confusion, everything returned to normal.

But this news was like a bombshell to the entire card master world.

The news quickly spread to the Southern Continent, the Old Continent, and the Eastern Wasteland.
Everyone only then knew about the establishment of the "New Tarun Empire" and the terrifying power of this new empire.

The death of the Pope also completely announced the demise of the Holy See, and the Arel Empire was already in name only.

The mechanical army annihilated the plane's top knight army in a head-on charge, which made mechanical technology stand at the top of the pyramid in extraordinary wars for the first time in three thousand years.

This battle also brought about huge chain reactions.

Not long after Catalina returned to the Old World, she easily conquered the noble lords who had previously banded together to resist.

At this point, the Old World had almost completed its unification.

The development of the entire Old Continent also entered a period of rapid development.

The New Talun Empire uses a special version of constitutional monarchy, and Ji Xun is a hands-off emperor. Although this system also has great limitations of the times, it is now the most suitable system for the empire.

Most importantly, it is much stronger than the feudal slavery system in the southern continent itself.

On the southern continent, after hearing about the policies of the New Talen Empire, more and more refugees flocked to the city of Tenis. In addition to avoiding the war, a large number of talented people either recommended themselves or were introduced by others to join the New Talen Empire.

The empire has more and more talented people, and its fortune is growing stronger day by day.

However, Emperor Ji Xun is as idle as ever.

Apart from practicing every day, he has nothing else to do.

The government affairs of the court are handled by ministers.

The "High Priest" is Nan Jing, whose duties remain the same as they have been for countless years; Chujiu is not only the White Queen, but also the "Hand of the King", roughly equivalent to the Prime Minister, presiding over the parliament and all government affairs; the "Military Minister" is Qin Rushi, whose outstanding war commander ability allows her to easily control the dispatch of the empire's increasingly large legions; the "Minister of Justice" is Xie Guozhong, this old friend with a righteous spirit who is in charge of order and has become the Chief Justice of the Empire; the "Minister of Finance and United Front" is the Moon Queen Catalina; the intelligence system is still the "Black Knife Organization" of the Oran Royal Court, and its leader is the Dark Elf Emperor Shadow who has surrendered; the "Grand Scholar" and the Dean of the Royal Academy is Master Merlin; the patriarch of the Dragon Lizard Clan, Morey, is the "Minister of Magic".
In short, there are many talented people in the empire.

The role of Emperor Ji Xun is to set up the framework of this joint team.

The rest is up to the ministers to figure out.

Although nepotism is the current practice, there will be no trouble as long as Ji Xun is here.

After a period of time, this system will naturally become more and more mature, and the Talen Empire will become stronger and stronger in the future.

But time is the biggest problem.

Two months passed in a flash.

On this day, Ji Xun was practicing in the palace.

Four royal sacred vessels linger around his body.

[Sismak Holy Grail], [Sword of Olympus], [Orb of Thrones], [Crown of Thorns].
The four holy artifacts emitted different divine lights, assisting Ji Xun in comprehending the power of rules.

Ji Xun now understood why, during the entire Talen Empire period, only Emperor Lanlingster could control the four royal sacred artifacts at the same time.

Or it is because of the special properties of the four holy artifacts.

Make rules, consolidate rules, break rules, and tamper with rules.
The four royal relics cover various uses of the rules.

Except for [JOKER], card masters in other sequences can only use one.

At this moment, Ji Xun was using the power of the four royal sacred artifacts to deepen his understanding of the rules.

One has to admit that after becoming emperor, the efficiency of his practice blessed by good fortune is much higher than before.

Ji Xun can now feel the tremendous benefits brought by the enlightenment blessed by the dynasty's fortune every day.

It is like a god gathering the power of faith and relying on the spiritual power of countless believers to practice, thus building a tower out of a pile of sand and being able to understand some of the mysteries of the universe that are beyond his own level.

This allowed him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in understanding the "power of rules".

If he is willing, perhaps in a few years when the empire becomes more powerful, he will almost certainly be able to successfully condense the "royal godhood" and be promoted successfully.

But what’s lacking now is time.

Although they had killed Pope Polarante's defeated Holy See army before, they had managed to gain a foothold in the southern continent.

But the current situation in New Tarun is not only not good, but getting worse.

There are gods in the southern continent.

Not to mention the Church of Light that is currently hunting down the remnants of Arel, there is also the Scarlet Cult, or the rebel army controlled by Monliod, the Lord of War.
Any powerful force could put the New Tarun Empire in danger of destruction.

But the good news is that the dead dragon Marodis successfully attracted all the firepower.

Before they were able to deal with the dead dragon, the two of the Seven Calamity Lords, the Scarlet Lord and the War Lord, probably had no intention of looking for trouble with Ji Xun and them.

While meditating, Ji Xun sensed something and opened his eyes, muttering: "Is the resurrection ceremony ready?"

As he spoke, he stood up and a space crack appeared in front of him.

After entering, the surroundings have turned into a huge and dim basement.

This is the "Imperial Temple" just below the palace.

Some things require mysterious power to maintain and guide.

For example, the luck of the empire, and some malice against this new empire. The temple is a must.

At this moment, Nan Jing, dressed in the robes of a high priest, has been in seclusion in the temple for many days.

Dozens of huge obsidian stone pillars formed a huge magic circle, and in the formation, lying was the body of an angel with wings.

Seeing Ji Xun coming, Nan Jing stood up in surprise and greeted him: "You are here."

After becoming the high priest of the empire, Nan Jing no longer wore that cute bun hairstyle. Instead, she tied her hair up high and changed into an elegant and luxurious noblewoman's attire.

The girl's childishness had completely disappeared from that pretty face, and now revealed a charm as charming as her proud figure.

Ji Xun hugged the proud and delicate body. Even through the thin silk sacrificial skirt, his palms could feel the soft elasticity. "Are you ready?"

Only when the two of them were alone, Nan Jing was no longer the majestic and mysterious high priest, but the same girl with a bun-like haircut who had never changed. "Yes. According to the records in the [Book of the Dead], I have set up a soul-calling formation. As long as the divine power is sufficient, the national angel can be resurrected."

Hearing this, Ji Xun also nodded.

If there is one thing that is the weakest point of the New Tarun Empire right now, it must be the lack of powerful god-level beings.

And this Weeping Angel is the life-saving method that the predecessors like Nan Shenyu left for future generations when the empire collapsed three thousand years ago.

Ji Xun had seen the messages left by Nan Shen Yu and Light Chaser Farrow on the Forbidden Ruins stele before, and only then did he know what had happened.

The killing of the national angel was actually a brilliant plot.

The empire collapsed and the situation was irreversible. As the high priest, Nan Shenyu also caught a glimpse of the existence of the "Plane Supervisor".

All these desperate factors made even a strong man like Nan Shenyu feel powerless to save the situation.

So, she left hope to future generations.

She tried her best to seal six of the "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster", and finally dealt with the Plane Supervisor with the determination to die.

The fact is that Nan Shenyu and Fa Luo disappeared from the world.

The Weeping Angels are their backup.

The national angel Renee is a war angel with super combat abilities.

It's not just because He is a god-level being in the [Ten of Hearts-Hero] sequence, but also because He is a high-ranking race with "Angel Blood".

His path is extraordinary and slightly different from that of a card master.

An eleventh-order angel is equivalent to a lower-level god, but his combat power is close to that of most middle-level gods; a twelfth-order archangel has the combat power of a middle-level god; it is said that a thirteenth-order archangel has the combat power of a true god.

Like the dragon clan, the angel bloodline gave them super combat power, but at the same time, the difficulty of bloodline advancement was also extremely great.

At the end of Talen, although the national angel Renee was an eleventh-level angel, her combat power was already at the top god level under the Southern God Rain.

But they still can't change anything.

As the guardian angel of the nation, he needs to be stronger!
The high priest Nan Shenyu found a way for angels to be promoted from some relics of the Great Collapse Era - fall!
Originally an angel representing absolute justice, after being corrupted by dark forces, he can gain new energy.

They are called fallen angels.

"Justice and evil" is essentially a high-level and extraordinary balance of nature.

Ji Xun has now touched upon the greatest secret of the divine level as mentioned by Emperor Lanlingster.

However, the normal way for angels to fall has been lost.

Nan Shenyu took a different approach and found another feasible solution from the plan of Emperor Lanlingster to exile the dead dragon Marodis from the stone tablet.

That is to replace the fall with death.

Let the Weeping Angels master the top-level extraordinary balance of "life and death".

At the same time, it is also testing the only method recorded by Emperor Lanlingster on the stone tablet to avoid the detection of the Plane Supervisor - avoiding death by dying!

But that takes time.

Therefore, the national angel Renee was killed in the conflict, and her body was sealed for three thousand years.

The secret of His resurrection lies in the inheritance of the high priest's lineage.

Ji Xun looked at the angel's corpse surrounded by black and white energy in the resurrection formation and sighed in his heart.

Only now did he fully appreciate the efforts made by the predecessors of the Card Master civilization.

Whether the angel can be successfully resurrected is also the most crucial point for whether his future plans can be realized.

And Nan Shenyu’s brilliance is not just in resurrection.

Instead, it allows people in later generations to sense the special and extraordinary power of "dark energy".

The dark light on the angel is something that should not exist in the plane of living things.

Ji Xun guessed that it should be an existence in the underworld temporarily called "dark divine power".

It may also be the mysterious force that guides living things to the underworld after death.

This is a special energy that will collide and annihilate with normal elements as long as it appears in the normal living plane.

This is a more advanced cosmic rule than the "power of rules" that Ji Xun currently understands.

Originally, living people could not touch it or even see it.

But now, because of the angel's corpse, Ji Xun saw clearly that the hard training in these days had also allowed him to master this "dark divine power".

Ultimately, it was all because of Nan Shenyu's brilliant planning.

The guardian angel said it was death, but in fact it was just a fake death.

The soul is not drawn to the underworld, and the destruction of the godhead is only an appearance.

But it is precisely because He is in a state of being both dead and alive that a special balance of "the two phases of light and darkness" appears in His body!

This also gave Ji Xun a way to glimpse a higher-dimensional power that was far beyond his current realm.

At one time, he had too many thoughts in his mind.

"Then I start?"

"Ah."

This plan is top secret.

There were only Ji Xun and Nan Jing in the temple.

Nan Jing flipped through the Book of the Dead and chanted the spiritual spell to guide the souls of the dead.

In an instant, the massive amount of magic crystal core energy prepared was drained.

Mysterious runes also lit up on dozens of obsidian pillars.

Ji Xun patted Ivan and spit out a dark green polyhedron crystal.

As soon as the crystal was taken out, a terrifying corrosive force could be seen spreading out with the naked eye.

Fortunately, Ji Xun was well prepared. As soon as the shadow of the clown demon appeared behind him, he used rules to control the overflowing green gas.

This is the godhead of 'Takpara, the source of the plague' that Bai Qiu once found in the [DP-955 Research Institute].

Originally, Bai Qiu was going to keep it for Qin Rushi to use in condensing his divine nature.

Now that the Taren Empire has been established, and seeing that it is of no use, he gave it to Ji Xun.

According to Nan Shenyu's records, one godhead is enough for a resurrected angel.

But in order to stably break through to the twelfth level of Archangel, at least three godheads are needed, the more the better.

Ji Xun just happened to have it.

The "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster" are immortal, just like batteries. Every time they come out to plunder, they are recharging themselves.

There is probably no better deity in the entire card master plane than the "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster".

The green crystal was placed into the groove that had been prepared long ago on the temple. In an instant, the obsidian pillar that had been black just now immediately turned into a glowing and translucent state.

Ji Xun didn't delay any longer and took out two more jars from Ivan's mouth.

These are the two jars he found in the Great Cemetery Maze and in "The Greedy Mine".

It has now been confirmed that the two jars contain the two Outer Gods, Mutu, the Boiling Blood of the Beast, and Naiser, the Source of Corruption.

Having previously obtained the method to unseal the jar from the Oran royal family, Ji Xun held the jar and shouted softly, "Unseal it!"

Looking again, the densely packed divine spells on the pottery jar lit up, and a crack appeared at the mouth of the jar.

After the seal of the jar was unlocked, a terrifying beast force overflowed from the gap, and I seemed to hear a rampant roar in my ears: "Hahahaha, I finally got out!"

But before the ball of divine power could escape, the phantom of "Imperial Court" behind Nan Jing had already locked onto the spirit.

At the same time, tens of thousands of prohibitions were lit up in the huge temple.

In a blink of an eye, the black gas turned into a dark red crystal and was held in Ji Xun's hand.

Ji Xun placed this divine nature into the second groove.

Then comes the third one.

When the three divine powers were placed in, the entire obsidian temple burst into a dazzling light like the sun.

The divine power of the godhead drove this huge formation, and streams of life force flowed into the bodies of the angels in the formation.

The angel's body was emitting bright black and white light, and it slowly floated in the air.

The soul-calling spell that Nan Jing recited was the only sound in the entire space: "Listen, the whispers from the underworld, respond to my wishes, regain the memories of the dead, and restore the light here. The confused soul, listen to my guidance, travel through the fog of time and space, and break free from the chains that bind you. The fire of life, ignite again."

The sound became louder and clearer.

The spell seemed to communicate with the underworld, isolating the power that was supposed to restrain the angel's body and soul and prevent them from merging.

In a blink of an eye, the entire temple seemed to be flowing in time and space, and a gray and dead air was steaming in.

In the thick fog, the shadow of a huge bronze door exuding a terrifying aura gradually emerged.

The bronze door was engraved with various ghostly patterns, and also had a line of divine patterns that Ji Xun had now recognized: "Those who enter this door must give up all hope."

This is the gate to the underworld.

Ji Xun sat cross-legged in meditation, carefully observing the resurrection ceremony while being ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

In a blink of an eye, the resurrection ceremony lasted for seven days.

Maybe the plans left by the seniors like Nan Shenyu have already thought of everything, or maybe Ji Xun and the others are well prepared.
All in all, the resurrection ceremony went very smoothly.

On the first day, the soul and the body began to merge;
On the third day, the flesh of the corpse began to come to life;
On the seventh day, the 'qi', which represents living things, appeared.
Every step was exactly as recorded in the Book of the Dead.

Finally, it was not until the evening of the seventh day.

Ji Xun had a strange premonition in his heart, like a new life being born from an egg breaking its shell.

When I opened my eyes suddenly, I saw a pair of beautiful eyes shining with golden light looking at me.

The angel floating in the temple opened his eyes!

Become!

Seeing this, Ji Xun's eyes flashed with deep anticipation.

Nan Jing in the temple also looked happy.

Although the angel's breath is still very weak at this moment, it truly possesses the characteristics of a living being.

It is no longer a corpse with a separated soul and body!

This means that the resurrection plan that has been prepared for three thousand years has been successful!
