Chapter 196 The Saint Descends! Looting the Treasure Vault! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

underground.

A blood-red heart pounded.

It started with a slight tremor, which gradually became more and more violent.

Each thud was like a war drumbeat, striking the chests of the vampires present.

A tall vampire with a pale face and deep-set dark eyes gently touched the heart.

"With the heart of a level four vampire as the altar, with all the living beings of this city as the sacrifice, with the bodies of vampire traitors as the conduit... this time, let the whole world feel the pain of our vampire race!"

This is the current patriarch of the Lesenba family, a vampire powerhouse with peak level two strength.

Bloody Eyes Yax.

In addition, four Level 2 powerhouses from the Thorn Demon Clan, including Demon Claw Gilmore and other Level 2 powerhouses from the Demon Banquet Alliance, were gathered here!

A small number of first-level vampires of noble blood were also able to witness the birth of the miracle on site.

Beneath that crimson heart lay five bound vampires.

These are all native vampires who have defied the Demon Banquet Alliance. In the eyes of the Demon Banquet Alliance, those who are unwilling to join them are enemies and vampire traitors!

Therefore, all vampires who intended to live in seclusion were found in the deep mountains and forests and suppressed by force.

The powerful beings of the Blood River Plane descended in avatars, needing the bodies of these lower-ranking vampires as their human forms.

Given the current state of the demonic resurgence in the human realm, they cannot descend directly for the time being; they can only appear in avatars.

To deal with the incarnations of the Holy Spirit Church and its angelic apostles, these incarnations must intervene.

As Yax chanted complex incantations, countless tentacles suddenly emerged from his heart. Then, the bodies of these vampire traitors were pulled into his heart.

This is the heart of a level four vampire; the mere aura it exudes is enough to make these lower-ranking vampires tremble with fear.

After its heart devoured these vampire traitors, it shattered with a soft pop.

Blood gushed out, as if a blood spring had been unearthed from the ground.

The blood within the heart flowed eerily, quickly seeping towards the ground.

Twisted and ferocious blood-red figures roamed through the blood.

Fine veins and blood vessels, like tree roots, take hold underground and spread towards the surface at a visible speed.

The powerful vampires watched this scene with fanatical expressions.

"The Ruler of Blood"

"The Will to Immortality".

"The Unceasing River".

"The True Ancestor of the Holy Race,"

"An unparalleled being!"

Mysterious and devout prayers echoed in this underground place.

A giant, blood-red tree began to take root in the ground and grow wildly upwards.

Countless underground rivers of blood, formed from pooled blood, flowed into all the underground water systems of the royal city.

A terrible disaster is about to strike.

……

The Emerald Palace.

A verdant dome enveloped the surrounding area.

A dignified, majestic, and incomparably beautiful jade dragon statue stands in the square.

Ministers and envoys came and went, and beautiful women hurried by.

The once young Jade King is now in his forties, with graying temples.

He exhausted himself scheming against those nobles.

And now, how many of these ministers are truly loyal to him?

The king had no idea.

Water gushes forth from the mouth of the jade dragon statue in front of the palace, creating a misty, rainbow-colored effect under the sunlight.

"Ugh."

Being a king is not easy; he sighs and laments.

suddenly.

A trace of blood emerged from the spring water spewing from the mouth of the emerald dragon in the square.

In an instant.

Blood gushed out.

Blood flowed across the square.

All the palace personnel who had been submerged in blood were instantly transformed into fresh blood and flowed into the pool.

And such a scene.

It was happening in many places throughout the royal city.

A weathered and agile figure wielded a giant sword, its blade cleaving through a river of blood.

The aged guardian swordsman, seeing the dire situation, immediately came to the rescue.

"What's going on?"

"It's unclear. Suddenly, many cracks appeared in the royal city, and strange blood was gushing out from them, suggesting that some evil spirit was at work," said the Guardian Sword.

"What? How could this happen all of a sudden? This is the royal city!"

"Your Majesty, times have changed."

The guardian sword seized the king's body and vanished swiftly.

Headquarters of the Holy Light Church.

An elderly man with bright, piercing eyes, wearing a religious crown, held a scepter symbolizing the highest power in the world.

With a solemn expression, he approached the image of the Holy Father in the center of the church.

"In the name of the Father."

He began to softly chant the incantation, his hands clasped together.

A milky white light emerged.

The image of the benevolent father seemed to transform into a distorted vortex, sucking the Pope's figure into it.

When the Pope reappeared, he was high above a sky filled with golden holy light.

Everything here is a vast expanse of white, seemingly without any sense of up, down, left, or right.

The believers of the Emerald Kingdom all know that after death, the guilty will fall into the nine levels of hell, into the bottomless abyss, and sleep in the terrifying underworld!

Only those who have faith in the merciful Father of Heaven can ascend to the summit of Paradise Mountain via the Sacred Ladder.

There, holy angels will lead these pure souls to true heaven!

And here.

That is the legendary Paradise Mountain!

The space inside the church's sacred paintings!

A colossal golden peak, reaching to the heavens and the earth, soars straight into the sky!

A tall, vertical staircase leads upwards to the sacred mountaintop.

The Pope's figure landed lightly at the bottom of the steps and began to ascend step by step.

"What is it?"

The Pope has not yet reached the top.

A slightly childish voice, yet possessing the quality of a kind old grandfather, resounded throughout Tiantang Mountain!

"Your Holiness, an unimaginably powerful enemy has invaded the royal city. If we do not stop it, it may cause an immeasurable disaster, and the foundation of our faith in this world will be shaken," the Pope said loudly.

"understood."

That kind, childlike voice rang out again.

Seven white beams of light shot into the sky and landed in front of the Pope.

Then seven powerful figures appeared, dressed in silver-white armor, wielding various weapons, resembling knights, but with a pair of pure white wings.

"Let the Seven Saints of the Mortal Realm handle this for you. I still need to sense the astral plane and acquire divine power; it's not advisable for me to take action now."

The sound came from the mountaintop.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With the Seven Saints here, we can handle anything."

The Pope was delighted.

Seven silent, winged saints followed the Pope.

On the sacred paintings in the church.

The portraits of the seven angels beside the loving father seemed to come alive.

Then, they transformed into streaks of white light and swiftly flew to the high heavens above the royal city.

These seven saints were the most outstanding among the seven earthly knights of the church during their lifetimes. Even the weakest among them possessed the strength of a top-tier grand knight, while the strongest were close to the level of a legendary knight.

They are the guardians of the church, protecting the sacred land of Heaven Mountain, and are also the human incarnations of the seven angels who are by the side of the Father of Heaven!

Relying on the angelic power within them, they can unleash combat power comparable to the top-tier second-circle wizards in the mortal realm, a strength far exceeding that of legendary knights.

In the human world, this is invincible.

Therefore, since ancient times, no one who has ventured into Heaven Mountain has ever returned alive.

Even the most legendary knights are no match for the seven saints of the church!

Now that the saint has descended and is stationed at Heavenly Mountain, this place will be even more impregnable!

But outside the royal city.

Li Wei's extraordinary perception allowed him to see from afar the seven sacred and vast figures that suddenly appeared in the sky above the royal city.

"Seven powerful individuals comparable to second-ring wizards are actually hiding in this royal city? Good heavens, thankfully I, Li Wei, am always prudent and haven't become arrogant."

Who would have thought that in this world where even legendary knights are as rare as phoenix feathers, the church would actually have such ace-to-the-earth knights, and there are seven of them!

This is the essence of the church!

In the wizarding world, only a relatively large third-ring wizarding organization would typically possess such a configuration.

And this place is the human world in the Dharma-ending Age.

Li Wei sat on the mountain watching the tigers fight, concealing his presence to the minimum, ready at any moment to take advantage of the chaos and plunder the king's treasury.

At this moment, the royal city is crisscrossed by rivers of blood, and mortals struggle on the isolated island.

This is literally a river of blood.

Faced with such a natural disaster, everyone—from ministers and nobles to commoners and laborers—is equal.

If a knight is stained by the river of blood, he will turn into blood in an instant.

Only a great knight who can cover his entire body in black energy can barely resist the blood for a moment.

Towering trees, composed of piles of blood-red corpses, soil, rocks, wood, and various other debris, are rapidly growing taller.

Blood began to spread towards the sky, and blood-red cracks seemed to appear in the void, resembling a blood-red willow tree growing wildly in the royal city, waving its branches.

The seven saints each held a weapon, and pure white light was infused into them.

In a flash,

Seven dazzling rays of light pierced the sky.

They chopped down the blood-red giant tree that seemed to grow against the natural order.

Rumble, rumble!

Loud explosions echoed throughout the royal city.

Houses collapsed one after another, corpses littered the fields, turning into blood.

Many of the giant tree's branches were destroyed, but with the injection of fresh blood, the crimson giant tree began to grow taller again.

Ten zhang, thirty zhang... Finally, the giant tree grew to a hundred zhang tall, enough for a hundred stories, before it stopped.

It replaced the church and became the most magnificent thing in the dynasty.

"What is this thing?"

Li Wei was also shocked.

He sensed an endless stench of blood on that crimson giant tree, as if the trunk itself was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, reeking of a foul stench!

The seven powerful saints crisscrossed the area, unleashing a barrage of attacks comparable to second-level spells upon the giant tree!

Seeing the battle becoming increasingly intense, Li Wei quietly disappeared from his spot and then quickly ran towards the royal city from the panicked crowd.

With both sides engaged in a fierce battle, no one should be paying attention to me.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Wei transformed into a lawless madman!

……

Emerald City.

a mess.

Under the protection of the guardian sword, the king swiftly arrived at the most important ancestral land of their Emerald family.

That was a forbidden area deep within the royal palace, guarded by the seven divine swords of the king, and no one could force their way in.

A treasure trove constructed of solid, massive rocks stands here, heavily guarded.

This place has not been invaded by the Blood River, so it is relatively safe.

The vault was very solid and seamless, serving as both a place to store treasures and a refuge.

"close the door."

The king entered the treasury and ordered his servants to close the gates.

He sat dejectedly among the small hills piled with gold coins and all sorts of jewels.

Behind him, on the shelves, were rows of ancient paintings. In one of the oil paintings, a beautiful fairy smiled sweetly, covering her lips, which was mesmerizing.

The other shelves were filled with all sorts of antiques, weapons, and even a small shelf displaying diagrams of breathing techniques.

"I did nothing wrong, why am I being punished like this?"

The king roared angrily in the treasury, venting his frustration by overturning the bookshelves, scattering the precious antiques and paintings all over the ground.

The ancient painting of the beautiful fairy also fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The king, panting heavily, erupted with anger and bewilderment.

He didn't know that in this messed-up era, everything he did was in vain; the demonic tide was rising again, and the extraordinary was returning.

Kings, nobles, generals, officials, fame, fortune, power, and wealth are all powerless in the face of the unstoppable tide of the times!

The king did not notice.

On the fallen ancient paintings, on the canvas of one of the ancient paintings.

The portrait of that beautiful fairy has... vanished.

……

Li Wei quickly located the location of the King's Treasury.

He calmly gazed at the seven guarded knights in front of him.

"Who goes there? Trespassing on the King's forbidden ground! Die!" A great knight swept his lance across his body, charging towards Li Wei.

Li Wei shook his head, ignoring them. He let their attacks rain down on him, then with a gentle shake, all the great knights were sent flying.

"I don't want to kill you, so get out of my way. It's not easy to cultivate to your level. I'll give you two choices: submit to me, or die."

Li Wei said calmly.

The Seven Divine Swords of the King are all exceptionally talented individuals who may well become legendary knights in the future. If they could be recruited to inject fresh blood into the Twilight Knights, wouldn't that be a good thing?

It's much better than fighting and killing each other.

Among the Seven Divine Swords, several had already begun to waver. When they saw that their attacks couldn't even break through Li Wei's defenses, they couldn't remain calm.

They were the Seven Divine Swords, high above all others, invincible knights among mortals, yet now, facing the person before them, they could not harm him in the slightest.

"So what if you're a legendary knight? Are you scared?"

After calming down, the Seven Divine Swords, led by their strongest member, the Guardian Divine Sword, stood up again and looked at Li Wei with solemn expressions.

"Although you possess unparalleled power, we are the Seven Divine Swords of the King. Even in death, we will protect the King's Treasury!"

The old guardian swordsman spoke, pointing his longsword at Li Wei, his attitude very clear.

"That's right, we are the Seven Divine Swords of the King!"

"We were just careless earlier. This time, we, the Seven Divine Swords, will show you what the strongest combination in the Emerald Kingdom truly is!"

"Seven swords combined, invincible under heaven!"

The seven divine swords swarmed forward, their momentum overwhelming!

He was once again slapped away by Li Wei!

This time, he used a slightly heavier hand.

He looked at the fallen knights and smiled.

"And now? Are you still sticking to your previous ideas?" Li Wei asked.

"this……"

In an instant, among the Seven Divine Swords, some began to waver again in the face of the threat of death.

If the first time was because they weren't prepared, and Li Wei succeeded.

The second time they all went up, they were still sent flying by Li Wei's palm strike. This means that the person in front of them was no longer just a legendary knight.

Based on their worldview, they simply cannot imagine that there are such powerful humans in this world!

"I don't have that much patience. I'll give you ten more breaths. If you don't make a choice, it means you've given up."

Li Wei said.

"I choose to surrender!"

"I also choose to surrender!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"We knights, what do we have to fear from death?"

……

In an instant, the seven divine swords each made their own choices.

Three chose to submit to Li Wei, while four actually chose to fight to the death!

"Those who have chosen to submit, you are wise to seize the moment. I will have you placed in a safe place. From now on, focus on your training. As long as you remain loyal to me, becoming a legendary knight will be a piece of cake. And once you become a legendary knight, you will join an organization with limitless potential and witness a much wider world!"

"Those who choose to fight to the end, I respect you too. I will grant you the dignity of a knight, to die in battle!"

Li Wei made the three subdued knights retreat behind him, and then looked at the Old Divine Sword and the other three Divine Swords.

The old swordsman sighed. He had dedicated his entire life to the kingdom and could never betray it.

If he were to betray the kingdom now, then everything he had done in his life would have been meaningless.

Sometimes, this is more terrifying than death.

Li Wei had seen the old Guardian Sword, who was the first of the Seven Divine Swords of the King. He never expected that after so many years, the other party would still be alive.

However, the old Protector of the Nation Sword obviously did not recognize Li Wei after the Hundred Faces and Thousand Appearances.

"Come on, everyone!"

Li Wei waved.

The four divine swordsmen had resolute expressions as their swords flashed, unleashing their strongest attack!

This is the final blow!

Li Wei sighed, crushed the sword lights, and then leaped away.

Pull out the Frostmourne forged from obsidian.

Ash Cross Slash!

A terrifying storm of annihilating sword light swept across!

The four divine swordsmen, like moths drawn to a flame, vanished into smoke and turned into a bloody mist.

Only shattered armor and weapons remained, scattered all over the ground.

Li Wei did not allow the Armored Scorpion to devour the flesh and blood of these loyal knights.

The other three swordsmen were stunned; what kind of swordsmanship was this...?

What incredible power this is!

Is this still a knight?

This must be a god!

Li Wei arrived before the King's Treasury.

The golden vortex easily destroyed the treasure vault, allowing the pitch-black vault to see the light of day again.

Li Wei gazed at the king, who was emaciated and on the verge of death.

"I did nothing wrong...why...why..."

The king was utterly furious.

"You did nothing wrong; the world is the one at fault," Livy said, finishing what the king wanted to say.

A gust of cold wind swept in from behind, as if something wanted to invade Li Wei's body and burrow into his mind.

Li Wei sneered, turned around, and with a grab of his large hand, multicolored black energy gathered in his hand, lifting up a twisted, sinister, disheveled evil spirit.

"A legendary evil spirit? Interesting." Li Wei muttered to himself, then crushed the evil spirit with a little force.

Although Li Wei had never seen this evil spirit, he roughly knew that it was this evil spirit, comparable to a legendary knight, that killed the White Horse Knight and the old king, and became the fuse for the Black Mountain Rebellion.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, this guy is still alive, and it seems he has been hiding in the King's Treasury all along.

For a moment, Li Wei was filled with emotion.

Indeed, all fear stems from one's own lack of strength!

Faced with absolute power, no evil spirit or terrifying being is a paper tiger!

Without further delay, he immediately began to plunder the King's Treasury.

Li Wei possessed a storage ring, so he naturally wasn't worried about not having enough space.

Gold? Antiques? Mithril? Other treasures? Take them all!

In any case, after this incident, the Jade Kingdom is most likely gone, so there's no need for Li Wei to keep these things; doing so would only benefit the next regime.

Finally, Li Wei looked with satisfaction at the breathing technique inheritance diagrams on the small shelf, which numbered nearly thirty.

Among these, five are of excellent quality, including "Iron Crocodile Breathing Technique", and one is of perfect quality, namely "Dragon Breathing Technique"!

In addition to what he had previously learned from Anduin, Li Wei felt that he wouldn't need to worry about breathing techniques for a long time.

Li Wei practically emptied the entire Royal Treasury.

Then, he took the three divine swordsmen out of the city and sent them south to await his instructions.

After Li Wei finished looting the King's Treasury, the battle in the sky reached its climax.

He didn't rush to leave, but observed from a distance.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see where the church's true limits lay.

Judging from the current situation, the seven saints have not completely suppressed the blood-red giant tree.

On the branches of the crimson tree, huge blood cocoons began to grow.

Finally, five enormous blood cocoons appeared on the entire crimson tree, four of which were about five meters in diameter, and one of which was probably ten meters in diameter.

Within the blood cocoon, something seems to be gestating.

Li Wei looked up and saw what appeared to be a blood moon in the daytime, which was extremely eerie.

"Blood River..." Li Wei murmured to himself.

Then, those blood-red giant cocoons began to break open, and blood-red wriggling worms swayed inside. These blood worms grew, mutated, and matured rapidly.

Then, a vast aura descended, and these bloodworms transformed into vampires.

Five powerful beings, exuding an aura unlike that of ordinary level-two vampires, descended upon the mortal world.

At the very center was a terrifying vampire, ten meters tall, with blood-red wings that blotted out the sky and countless blood-red tentacles on its body, which swayed and danced like worms in the blood cave!

Just looking at this appearance would drive an ordinary person crazy.

"It's unbelievable that such an ugly creature exists in this world, one whose very appearance could terrify anyone!"

Li Wei was shocked.

At this moment, the powerful vampires from underground also appeared one after another.

"Welcome to the Blood God!"

The so-called Blood God is actually the Blood River incarnation of the Blood River's will! It is not a true god.

The strength of the Blood God depends on the number of people sacrificed and the strength of their human host.

This blood sacrifice ceremony, though seemingly grand, has actually only involved the sacrifice of a few thousand mortals so far.

In blood sacrifice rituals, this can only be considered the lowest level of ceremony.

This resulted in the Blood God who descended this time being only at the level of a fourth-level vampire.

Even so, it's more than enough for this world.

These powerful vampires knew that even a Saint incarnation's current strength was probably only at the level of a third-level vampire.

Because the saint's arrival was not long ago, he simply did not have time to grow.

Vampires are different; they can sacrifice an entire city without restraint, and thus can instantly summon a powerful Blood God!

The four powerful figures beside the Blood God were all at the third level. These four were all high-ranking blood clansmen from the Blood River Plane, and their true forms were incredibly powerful, like gods and demons.

Although he has descended to the mortal realm in his avatar, his blood flames still blaze and his aura is terrifying!

Upon witnessing the arrival of such a powerful figure, Li Wei knew that he might not even have the right to be a spectator in the upcoming battle.

This is a true battle of gods.

Li Wei gazed longingly in the direction of the church. It was clear that Paradise Mountain was hidden somewhere within the church grounds, where the Van Helsing family lineage, which Li Wei so desperately longed for, resided.

Unfortunately, with so many powerful beings comparable to third-ring wizards descending upon us, trying to take advantage of the chaos would be tantamount to courting death.

Let's play it safe. Anyway, I only have one water element affinity left. With so many breathing techniques, I should be able to create a related effect for myself, right?

With this in mind, he left the royal city. After such a battle, most of the mortals who escaped the blood sacrifice would probably not survive.

After the Blood God descended, he remained silent, and terrifying blood flames swirled around the sky, engulfing the entire city.

The seven saints' expressions changed drastically, and they all brought out their respective sealed sacred objects!

These sealed sacred artifacts are all made from the remains of saints throughout history, and any one of them is no less powerful than a level three blood weapon or a level three witch weapon.

Then, seven different sacred objects, each radiating a seven-colored light, shone brightly and drove away the blood flames!

At the same time, a figure stepped out from the void. It was a boy who looked to be only a teenager. He was dressed in hemp clothing, barefoot, with a halo of holy light above his head. His eyes were deep and far-reaching, radiating divine power!

Saints of the contemporary Holy Light Church.

Yelin!

As soon as he arrived, the Blood God's expression changed. He was clearly surprised that this Saint had become so powerful in such a short time.

"You River of Blood, you're truly an unkillable cockroach. Why do you always invite trouble, failing time and time again, only to come back again and again? It seems those guys in the Underworld can't sit still anymore, using you to constantly test my limits."

The boy had a kind face and spoke with maturity, as if he were a wise elder.

The benevolent Father of Heaven often walks among men in the guise of a wise man in hempen robes.

The Blood God remained silent, and without saying a word, terrifying blood light spread out, and a raging river of blood surrounded him.

In this degenerate age, a battle comparable to the War of the Fourth Ring Wizards is unfolding.

Above the Emerald City, a scene of apocalypse unfolded.

The Blood God and the Saints are locked in a fierce battle! Meanwhile, four high-ranking vampire avatars are also fighting against seven saints wielding sealed relics!

Meanwhile, the other level-two vampires took this opportunity to quickly fly towards the church.

Ax, Gilmore, and other powerful vampires transformed into streaks of blood and appeared directly at the church.

It seemed they knew the entrance to Paradise Mountain, Yax gazed at the sacred painting.

At this moment, the sacred painting is like a vortex spinning.

Without hesitation, Yax entered, and Gilmore quickly followed.

At this moment, there is complete silence inside Paradise Mountain.

Because all seven saints and holy men were outside and restrained, there was no one else there.

Yax flew swiftly toward the summit of Paradise Mountain, which, as far as he knew, sealed away all sorts of treasures that the Church had plundered from the human world throughout history.

Regardless of the battles outside, as long as the vampires manage to seize a few treasures from Paradise Mountain, they'll have made a profit!

In particular, the Blood Feather Bow, a blood weapon of the William family, is sealed here, and he must retrieve it. Then, he will use secret methods to locate the Blood Forbidden Cone and find the mysterious person who defeated Skearin and escaped with the Blood Forbidden Cone!

These two powerful blood weapons can only unleash their full power when combined!

Previously, he had been busy with the blood sacrifice, so he had not yet settled accounts with the mysterious person who had disrupted the vampire clan.

After this blood sacrifice is completed, it will be time for reckoning.

Yax and his companions soon arrived at the mountaintop, where a magnificent temple stood.

Inside the temple are statues of the Heavenly Father and seven angels.

Around these statues were various objects and scrolls of different shapes, as well as white, jade-like corpses. Below one of the angel statues was a giant bow that was two meters long.

The bow was made from blood-red ribs, and the bowstring was made from the tendons of some powerful hybrid dragon, exuding an eerie and strange aura.

"Blood Feather Bow!"

This is the main purpose for Ax's adventure here.

After all, even if he managed to steal the other sealed sacred objects and magical artifacts, he probably wouldn't be able to use them.

"You guys take the others, I'll break the seal on the Bloodfeather Bow," Ax said.

"Fine, I'll take these saint's remains today." Gilmore stared at a skull within the light barrier before him; it was the remains of a saint from a certain generation.

"This greatsword is nice, it's mine."

These powerful vampires each chose their targets, and then, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displayed their unique abilities, attempting to break through the seal protecting the treasure.

Yax tried using his normal attacks and found that he couldn't break through the white seal at all.

He couldn't help but curse the church members under his breath. At the same time, a crack suddenly appeared on his forehead, and a blood-red single eye emerged from the crack, turning eerily.

This is the origin of his nickname "Blood Eyes"!

If this blood-red eye consumes some of its primal power, it can barely unleash a ray attack comparable to that of a level three vampire!

Yax named this spell-like ability "Bloodthirsty Eyes".

Crimson light shot from Ax's eyes, moving across the white light shield like a laser beam.

Yax's face began to weaken, but he was determined to get the Bloodfeather Bow.

Finally, Yax managed to tear a hole in the white light barrier, and the crack was about to close. Yax quickly grabbed the Blood Feather Bow.

The next moment, the crack closed. The sealing power of this sacred object was more terrifying than he had imagined, and it was not so easy to break through.

"Did you succeed?" Ax put away the Bloodfeather Bow, his face smug and his heart filled with joy.

"Got it, let's get out of here!"

These powerful vampires were decisive; they no longer coveted anything else, and once they had obtained what they wanted, they began to leave.

But outside of Paradise Mountain.

The battle between the Blood God and the Saint has reached a fever pitch, with the two terrifying beings clashing with rivers of blood and divine arts high in the sky.

Crimson and white light split the sky in two.

"How dare you!" A saint roared in anger upon discovering Ax and his group who had gone to Heaven Mountain to steal treasures.

"You can't even protect yourselves, yet you dare to care about others." A vampire powerhouse, resembling a blood wolf, sneered, his blood claws striking towards the saint. Blood light tore through the sky, its power incomparably strong!

Helpless, the saint could only watch as the vampires scattered like rats and vanished right before his eyes!

Yax dared not delay and seized the opportunity to quickly evacuate the royal city, fleeing thousands of miles away and disappearing into the wilderness.

His mission was complete, and the battles that followed were no longer his concern.

……

And in the royal city.

The battle lasted for a day and a night.

As Li Wei had predicted, the Church of Holy Light achieved a final victory, but the process was not quite what he had expected.

In fact, the vampires originally had a real chance to destroy the Holy Light Church, nip the saints in the bud, and then remove the Father of Heaven's tool of faith from the human world!

However, the saints of the Earth Church of the Gaia Kingdom arrived in time, joined forces with Yelin, and killed the Blood God, as well as the other four powerful vampires!

Li Wei had long heard that the Seven Gods were not a monolithic entity, but rather each had their own factions and relationships.

The Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother seem to have a good relationship, somewhat like a pair of lovers from the astral realm, and now, judging from the behavior of the Earth Church, this has been confirmed.

If it weren't for the timely support from the Church of Earth, the vampires might actually have succeeded.

Of course, if it really succeeds, it might have to bear the full wrath of the Heavenly Father of the Star Realm!

Although the Heavenly Father has more than one place of faith in the multiverse, it is not easy to cultivate such a place of faith. Its loss is a great loss to the Heavenly Father!

Therefore, despite their immense power, the wizards chose to live in seclusion and avoid the world.

The wizard civilization is thriving, and there's no need to break ties with the Seven Gods now. After all, the wizard civilization has made many enemies in the process of development and conquest.

If they were to completely break ties with the Seven Gods, facing so many enemies at the same time, even a wizarding civilization would be in grave danger.

Although the Church of Holy Light achieved final victory, the vampires' last-ditch counterattack resulted in the deaths and injuries of most of the seven saints.

After this battle, the Holy Radiance Church was severely weakened, and what was most infuriating was that the skull of the important saint's remains was stolen by that vampire Gilmore.

The remains of the saint may not be important in themselves, but the fact that they were stolen by the vampires is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Church of Holy Light.

Saints are symbols of God on earth. If the skull of a saint were stolen and other churches found out, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?

After this battle, the royal city was almost completely destroyed, with tens of thousands of civilians killed or wounded, as if it were the end of the world.

When gods fight, it's always the mortals who suffer.

In fact, not many of these civilians died in the blood sacrifice; the greater number of casualties occurred during the later battles.

There was no other way; the saint could only use divine magic to erase the memories of these people from this period, making them forget such suffering.

Such matters must not be leaked, otherwise it would shake the foundation of the Holy Radiance Church's faith.

Soon after, a new version of the story also began to circulate.

"Because the faith of the royal city's believers was not loyal enough, evil thoughts arose and sins spread throughout the land. Evil beings were born from this and sought to destroy the royal city. The saint led his followers through a long and bloody battle and successfully drove out the evil forces..."

In short, this new version of the story adds a touch of epic grandeur to the original and makes some "minor" artistic embellishments.

Vampires are depicted as dark demons, monsters born from the impiety of mortals! The Church of Holy Light plays the role of savior. This catastrophe was absolutely not caused by the incompetence of the Church of Holy Light!

The people who survived the disaster were naturally grateful and determined to worship the Father more devoutly in the future to prevent such a disaster from happening again!

In addition, because the Emerald King also died in this disaster, the Church of Holy Light could only temporarily rule the royal city while searching for a new king.

Rivers flow, years change, kingdoms rise and fall, but the Church, with the support of the gods behind the scenes, has endured calamities and stood firm.

……

The year 1038 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Several months have passed since that blood sacrifice in the royal city.

As the situation gradually calmed down, Li Wei, the observer from the sidelines, also prepared to leave this world.

As things stand, this matter will not affect their territory.

With the support of the church, the Emerald Kingdom can likely hold out for a while longer, at least until a more suitable regime is ready before it changes hands.

The church is like an invisible hand that can manipulate the situation in the world at any time and put it back on the right track.

"The depths of the Church are indeed unfathomable," Li Wei sighed.

He has now completely given up hope of the Van Helsing family line continuing.

Because when he advances to the fourth ring, the saint of that church will only be stronger than him, and he will definitely not be able to catch up with the pace of a god incarnation in a short period of time.

After all, they have a god supporting them, so they're like a second-generation god, spending money and gaining experience every day.

As for myself, I can only grind step by step using the proficiency panel. How can that compare?

However, one's own proficiency panel represents the endless possibilities of the future, with no upper limit!

As long as he lives on, one day in the future, Li Wei will be able to surpass the Saints, and even the gods behind them!

Having figured this out, Li Wei silently headed towards the overseas lands. He was very satisfied with his gains in the human world this time, and now he would just return to the wizarding world and slowly develop.

Upon arriving at the location of the warp portal, Li Wei looked at the stone wall and respectfully said, "Senior, I need to be teleported back to the Azure Realm."

On the stone wall, a human face protruded. The old man burped and said expressionlessly, "A dark wizard attacked the portal on the other side. We are currently working hard to repair it. Teleportation is temporarily suspended. You should wait in the mortal realm for now."
