Chapter 441, Section 439: Battle Against the Cardinal (Please Subscribe)
It's hard to describe Luo Yi's current feelings. Although he was kicked, it was this kick that seemed to have completely awakened him.

Under the ultimate strike of battle aura, even the noble Cardinal Saint John Stuart seemed like an ant.

However, the one who is truly feared is Luo Yi, who is right behind her.

He left a trail of afterimages, like the marks of time, and arrived almost at the same time as the Battle Qi Slash, then took over without hesitation and attacked!

The ancient castle, which was already in ruins, was split open by a bottomless abyss that stretched from one end to the other.

If one were to withstand this attack head-on, even a legendary expert might not be able to pass the level without taking damage.

Fortunately, Saint-John Stuart dodged quickly enough, his figure blurring as if four figures appeared, each making a move in a different direction, as if they were trying to escape.

If judged solely by their aura, these four figures are identical and indistinguishable.

But Luo Yi's ears twitched slightly, and she found the right direction.
With another thrust of his sword, the sword light flashed, like countless cold glints, and the battle aura ray shot out as if carrying a tail flame.

At this, His Holiness Saint John Stuart's expression changed. A milky-white light emanated from his body, transforming into a suit of dazzling white armor, almost tangible.
His longsword flashed, frost filled the air, and he swept away most of the battle aura beam.

Even if a fish manages to slip through the net and lands on the battle qi armor, it seems to be frozen solid.

But the next second, in His Majesty Saint John Stuart's eyes, a foot kept getting bigger and bigger.

Then, he was kicked.

And then, with a bang, the cardinal was sent flying!

It seemed to leave a trail of milky white flame as it crashed directly into the deep pit, buried underground, and disappeared.

At that moment, Luo Yi's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "If even legends are this weak, it's truly disappointing!"

At that moment, the bishops' faces changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly.

But the next second, the earth shook violently, and a small, milky-white sun rose from the ground.
A sacred light shone in all directions, but instead of warmth, it brought a pervasive chill.

Frost formed on the ground, and heat was rapidly drawn away from the air, causing the temperature to drop at a visible rate.

Divine power most commonly and widely exists in the form of holy light or holy fire.

However, this does not mean that divine power has no other attribute variants.

For example, Saint John Stuart's battle aura is a typical dual-elemental type, combining holy and ice elements.
It can maintain the effects of purifying evil, healing injuries, and restoring physical strength, and it also has the power to freeze everything and slow down speed.

The power of this battle aura alone far surpasses that of a fourth-order calamity.

Beneath that small sun stood His Holiness Saint John Stuart, standing in mid-air, as if supporting something with one hand, his head slightly bowed.
He looked at Luo Yi and said, "You've given me a surprise, so I'll allow you to back down now."

"Hehe, this is just the beginning, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

This is Luo Yi's answer!
Immediately afterwards, he stopped suppressing it, and his golden-red battle aura exploded out, the holy fire burning fiercely as if it would burn the sky to ashes.

He walked step by step towards the sky.

As he walked, numerous strange phenomena appeared one after another.

First, my heart pounded like a drum, and ripples spread outward continuously, bringing an extremely powerful amplification, like a surging tide.

Then, it seemed as if a terrifying behemoth had awakened in the void, its eyes casting their gaze upon the human world.

An invisible halo covers the heavens and earth, sweeping away all negative emotions and filling one's heart with boundless courage.

So-called legends are just superhuman beings, so why can't they be fought?
In the desolate天地 (heaven and earth), only by twitching one's ears can one hear all sounds.

Footsteps leave behind a trail of illusions, like traces left by time.

With a resounding clang of bones and muscles, supporting the sky and stomping the earth, Luo Yi's aura surged once again, as if it could rival the sun and moon.

Secretly transmitted sacred techniques: [Holy Fire], [Divine Sigh - Behemoth's Heartbeat], [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Unleashed], [Lion King], [Ear of Lyman], [Divine Speed], [Golden Bone]...

All seven sacred techniques were unleashed!

Luo Yi hasn't fought at full power in a long time. On one hand, doing so is actually quite stressful, and afterwards, he has to be 'refreshed' for a long time.

On the other hand, there aren't many enemies worth his full effort.

This time, however, he really wanted to show his strength and test his men in front of this cardinal.

During this period, the flower leader has been in the limelight, and he has become famous, but this may not necessarily be a good thing.

He wanted to tell everyone that if he could build such a business, he could protect it.

He was never just carrying the show with the red dragon Virgil!
He, Loy Raymond, the head of a thousand-year-old family, the King of Lions, the ruler of this territory, is never one to be bullied!
At this moment, even His Holiness Saint John Stuart lost his previous ease and became extremely solemn.

At this moment, even dozens of miles away, people could see that two small suns were facing each other in the void.

Their momentum surged, their fighting spirits clashed, their elements compressed, and their minds became entangled; neither side would yield an inch.

At this moment, Luo Yi spoke, asking, "Your Majesty Saint John Stuart, in this form, may I fight you with all my might?"

Saint John Stuart couldn't lie, so he nodded: "Yes!"

"Then let's fight! Let's have a good, hard-fought battle!"

"it is good!"

The next second, everyone saw it: the two completely opposite little suns collided.

Everyone witnessed the spectacle: the sacred fire and frost dividing the heavens and the earth.

With each collision, space, like porcelain, cracks and shatters, only to be constantly repaired by the power of the world.

This is also why legends are excluded from the plane.

If they were to fight to the death, the spatial strength of the prime material plane simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.

If the space continues to shatter, too many times, and for too long, it may directly cause a collapse.

It is said that the many layers of the Abyss were once the fall and destruction of various prime material planes.

Of course, it's perfectly fine for one or two legends to clash occasionally. In the heat of the battle, His Majesty Saint-John Stuart also unleashed his ultimate move, throwing out three ice pucks in quick succession.

They seemed to have eyes, chasing after Luo Yi and smashing her, even ignoring the scorching heat and high temperature of the sacred fire, trying to freeze her.

Forced into a corner, Luo Yi had no choice but to use a deadly move.

To be honest, Luo Yi actually lacks a killer move. His current methods are sufficient to deal with fourth-tier opponents, but he seems powerless against fifth-tier opponents.

This is also why Luo Yi craves fourth-tier natural disaster combat skills; only with this as a foundation and bridge can he continue to move forward.

However, Luo Yi does have an extra trick up her sleeve, which originates from the secret holy technique [Holy Fire].

【Sacred Fire】can be upgraded. Above ordinary fireworks is blazing fire, with power and destructive force far exceeding that of ordinary fire.

Luo Yi's current fighting spirit is far from reaching the level of flames, but he can first conjure a ball of flames and briefly borrow the power of the Holy Flame.

This was certainly not easy, but Luo Yi still succeeded, relying on the holy flame to melt the three ice balls.

He even launched a counterattack in a seemingly professional manner.

First, [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Unleashed] was unleashed at full power, almost solidifying the terrifying behemoth in the void, delivering an ultimate shock to His Majesty Saint-Yon Stuart.

Taking advantage of the opponent's hesitation, he threw out the ball of holy flame again.

This was Roy's last act of defiance, and it worked. To deal with the holy flame, His Majesty Saint John Stuart directly used the small sun in his hand to block it.

Then, the two dissolved silently, yet countless cracks seemed to spread, making one's heart pound.

This battle, though now over, will remain unforgettable for countless onlookers.

After this battle, the cardinal from the church finally put aside all his arrogance and communicated with Roy on an equal footing.

……

Lion Manor, second floor, study.

His Majesty Saint-Jon Stuart was sprawled out on the sofa in a rather unladylike manner, with wine in one hand and fruit in the other, enjoying himself immensely.

Every now and then, he would pick up a lit cigar, put it in his mouth and take a satisfying puff, exhaling the smoke with an expression of blissful ecstasy.

The Church of the Sun also requires proper conduct and emphasizes asceticism and atonement, so priests who are so unrestrained are extremely rare.

Moreover, he was also a cardinal, one of the top dozen or so people in the church.

But he really didn't care at all.

He even rolled his eyes at everyone's gaze and said, "We're already being very careful in the Papal States."

"I finally got to come out of town, can't I even enjoy myself a little?"

No one dared to respond to his words. The group of black-clad bishops behind him seemed unfazed, holding their heads high as if they hadn't seen anything.

Luo Yi, the only one who was qualified to speak, was currently meditating with her eyes closed, consuming the drop of 'Isis's Spring of Wine' she had just swallowed.

You have to admit, the battle just now was just a warm-up for Saint John Stuart.

For Luo Yi, however, it was an all-out effort.

Legends are also divided into strong and weak, but no matter how you categorize them, the cardinals of the church will never be the weakest.

Even though he is said to be the youngest among the cardinals!
After a short while, Luo Yi finally digested the Isis Spring, and her aura stabilized.

He opened his eyes and met His Majesty Saint John Stuart's gaze: "We fought. Does that mean I passed?"

"Qualified? Of course you're qualified! If you're not qualified, the church won't be able to find another qualified person."

But could you tell me how you did it?

"what?"

"So many sacred skills practiced by fellow practitioners?"

"Everyone has their own secrets. Do you think it's a good idea to ask that?"

"It's not a good idea, but never mind, I won't ask anymore."

Mastering even one sacred skill is no easy feat, and even if one could master multiple skills simultaneously, the effort and time required would be staggering.

This road is destined to be difficult!

"It's not an easy path, but that's the path I chose."

"That's right!"

"Now, can we get down to business?"

"Of course you can, but until then, you can keep this!"

As he spoke, His Holiness Saint John Stuart waved his hand behind him, and naturally, a black cardinal presented him with a box.

He took it, opened it, took out two items, and placed them in front of Luo Yi.

One of them is a badge with a red cross symbol on it.

The other is a gold-edged parchment scroll.

"This is?"

"The Templar insignia, and identification documents."

Loy looked at the badge, then at His Majesty Saint John Stuart, and was completely dumbfounded.
