The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Despicable and shameless!!"

The high priest quickly summoned a group of colleagues to hide and form a battle formation, while Asar laughed and spread his bat wings, charging towards Ye Xiao.

The two clashed amidst flashing swords, while the Dark Templar's priest unleashed a barrage of water attacks from the sidelines.

It looked like a fierce duel, but after a burst of sword energy that stretched across the sky, neither Ye Xiao nor Asar were seriously injured. Only the corpses of three black-robed priests fell from the dark clouds.

"Damn demon!!! Where are you even trying to cut?!"

The high priest was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Useless! Can't you just dodge it yourself?"

Assal's tone remained dismissive, "It is already a favor from the Blood Prince to allow you to participate in my glorious duel."

"Screw you, then you can die with me!!"

The high priest let out a howl and flew in a circle with the remaining priests in the sky, chanting in unison.

The dark clouds, as deep as the mountains, were drawn by their magic, forming a huge vortex.

A burst of intense lightning struck from the center of the vortex, instantly transforming a large area of ​​the sky into a raging thunderstorm.

Ye Xiao moved like a ghost through the lightning, dodging the bolts of lightning that struck him through the gaps; but Asar was not so agile, and his armor was immediately cracked by the lightning.

"You squid from the sea tribe!! I helped you, and you dare to damage my ancestral armor!?"

"You killed two of my colleagues with your sword energy, and you call that helping???"

"That's because they're useless and didn't know how to hide!"

"If you can't dodge this heavenly lightning, you're useless!"

The two started arguing again, and Ye Xiao took the opportunity to try to pass outside the lightning array, but found that even using the teleportation technique, he could not break through the electric arc barrier surrounding the array.

This area not only contains incredibly powerful lightning strikes, but also intentionally created spatial turbulence that hinders his ability to use spatial movement.

"Still want to escape?"

The high priest noticed Ye Xiao, his face contorted with rage, "If it weren't for that stupid, pig-like demon, you would have been pulverized long ago!"

"That shit squid, all it does is pull these tricks to ruin my duel!"

Asar withstood another bolt of lightning, his hair disheveled, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Human Brand, come on, let's smash this magic circle of his, it's really annoying!"

As he finished speaking, the armor on his upper body suddenly shattered, revealing a pale, handsome face embedded in his chest.

The face bore a resemblance to Assar's own, but was much more mature.

"What's this?"

Ye Xiao dodged the lightning and approached, then glanced at the face on the other person's chest, his tone revealing surprise.

"my father."

Assar laughed proudly, "After that duel with you, I realized that my strength is still far from enough. Wouldn't it be boring if it hindered our destined duel?"

"So I used the Demon Sword to kill my father and merge him into my heart. With such power, I am now a worthy opponent to fight you! Hahahaha!"

"You monster, you're a complete lunatic!!!"

The bizarre scene was so disturbing that even the cult priests outside couldn't contain themselves. "Heavenly lightning! Quickly purify this pile of dog shit too!!"

Ye Xiao was at a loss for words to describe this extremely abstract battle. It seemed to be very intense, yet it was also very inexplicable.

However, the mixed feelings in his heart did not prevent him from decisively joining forces with Assar.

He sheathed his sword, while Asar raised his demonic sword high, and in an instant, two fierce auras converged.

Assar and the face in his chest opened their mouths simultaneously, and two blasphemous incantations echoed in the air.

Blood gushed from his face and clung to the blade of Asar's raised sword, while delicate flowing clouds appeared on the scabbard that Ye Xiao gripped tightly.

The crimson moon cries, its bones tremble!

Draw your sword and chop.

The two attacked simultaneously, their crimson sword light and the straight blade light intersecting and shooting out across the sky.

The entire world seemed to be cleaved into four phases in that instant. The unparalleled sharpness pierced through the barrier, transforming into a cross that ripped open the chest of the high priest who was in charge of the formation on the outermost side.

"I'm really... speechless..."

The high priest's face, covered in tentacles, was filled with endless resentment in his eyes. Then, with a thunderous roar, his body shattered in mid-air.

The barrier dissolved, the thunderstorm vortex collapsed into a curtain of rain, and Asar and his father, who was on his chest, burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, as expected, worthy of the humans I chose!!"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched as he watched the high priest's head, its eyes wide open in death, fall into the water.

Chapter 245 The Giant Wooden Ark

"Ow!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar came from below, and an enormous sea beast leaped out of the whirlpool.

Ye Xiao was taken aback, wondering if Julius had been defeated by the sea beast, when suddenly a golden light sliced ​​through the sea beast's bloated abdomen.

"laugh--"

With a sound like a deflated balloon, the sea monster howled and collapsed onto the water's surface, its erect tentacles crumbling like collapsing skyscrapers.

Large amounts of deep blue blood gushed from the wound in the abdominal cavity, and the vortex, like the bottom of the underworld, gradually calmed down in the waves.

Julius then rose from beneath the water, his heroic figure, shrouded in golden light, as pristine as ever.

Well, it seems I was overthinking it.

Ye Xiaoyao nodded to Julius, then turned her gaze to the giant sea turtle that was approaching.

Up there, a pretty red-haired girl sat upright, observing them with great interest.

The dark clouds had not yet dissipated, and lightning and thunder continued amidst the torrential rain.

The corpses of sea beasts, exuding deathly aura, lay on the ground, while countless lower-ranking merfolk continued to tread the water like walking corpses towards the distant fortress.

Ye Xiao and Julius fought their way to the rear of the sea creature army, but even as they watched the war sea beasts being killed, Elias seemed unmoved.

But amidst the torrential rain, a sense of oppression seemed to be quietly spreading.

"You seem to really miss this remnant soul."

Elias looked down at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and gripped the knife handle tightly.

“Elijas…”

Finally, we've reached this point.

If there is one ultimate target in the entire war, then the culprit right before us is the one responsible for all of this.

The gods who commanded the shepherds of darkness caused the downfall of Aslan, plunging the entire continent into turmoil and plague.

"Long time no see, your expression is really interesting."

Elias smiled charmingly, creating an odd contrast with Veronica's spirited face.

She raised her index finger, and a tiny arc of electricity immediately danced at her fingertip.

"Beware!"

Ye Xiao roared, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain struck down from the sky.

……

at the same time.

Hub Town, a blood lake in the deep sea.

At this moment, immense divine power was surging and rolling on the crimson lake water. The candidates seemed to be nearing the end of their trials, and the barrier enveloping them was filled with dazzling white light.

This actually made Duke Tyrannosaurus, the only one who wasn't truly involved, feel somewhat at ease.

The surging white light obscured his small movements, finally allowing him to relax his aching legs from squatting.

The other candidates' consciousness was integrated into the altar, so they had no physical perception of the outside world. But he was different; he could only rely on his willpower to persevere.

However, at this point, Raphael probably had no interest in paying attention to his situation.

Although the white glow that envelops them appears bright and dazzling, those who are actually in it find it to be unusually soft.

Rather than bright, it's more like melting everything around it into a white background.

I wonder what the situation is like on Aslan's side now.

Duke Tyron was pondering when he suddenly heard a loud noise, like the roar of a steam engine.

"rumble--"

What was that? He was surprised, only to see the once calm lake suddenly become turbulent.

Bathed in white light, sections of thick, black tree roots rose from around the lake shore, connecting with each other and stretching towards the sky.

root?

Duke Tyrannosaurus was completely bewildered. The intertwined roots looked like a growing, dark, withered tree that was gradually enveloping the sky above him.

As the brass pipes turned, the lake water was stirred and agitated. The original bright red color gradually faded, slowly turning into a deep, dark color, and twinkling stars appeared. At first glance, it looked like a reflection of the starry sky.

Duke Tyran looked astonished. At this moment, he was no longer standing on the lake, but on a universe filled with stars.

This was not a description, but rather because he even saw a blue planet suddenly appearing in that boundless deep space.

Meanwhile, in the hub town outside him, the nobles of the duchy were all looking out of the academy building.

It wasn't that they had finally stopped fearing the scarlet eyeball floating in the sky, but rather that the enormous tree gradually rising from the sinkhole had caught their attention.

It was a towering tree whose diameter almost encompassed the entire sinkhole, but its shape was somewhat strange—the branches on the crown were densely intertwined to form a huge hemispherical bud, while the outward-spreading branches extended all the way to the ground, splitting into several strands twisted together like huge arms, or like deep tunnels made of branches.

"To all participants in Project Spark."

Just then, a loud voice echoed through the sky.

Company CEO Uriel slowly floated down from the "bud," his back sprouting wings like a divine messenger descending from the sky.

"As mentioned before, the 'Ark' is ready."

"what?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the nobles in the hall began to murmur amongst themselves.

"This thing is the Ark??"

"Can entering this thing really take you to another world?"

"Please hurry, everyone, the gate to another world won't last long."

Uriel's voice was calm and quietly floated in mid-air, like a machine that only ruthlessly read out broadcasts.

The company's employees quickly organized the travel group in an orderly manner. Under their urging, although the nobles had doubts, they seemed to have little choice but to continue.

Staying in this small town would only mean staring at those terrifyingly large eyes all day long; or rather, from the moment they entered, they were already trapped.

Now, most of the participants can only hope that the strangely shaped giant tree in front of them does indeed have the ability to carry them to another world.

The creations of the gods are always beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so strange shapes do not necessarily mean there is a real problem.

The nobles could only console themselves with this thought.

Soon, under the arrangement of the company staff, the nobles of the duchy came out of the academy building and entered the dark tunnel that extended from the withered black tree.

……

Back on the main battlefield of the Fortress of No Breath, the final battle between Ye Xiao and his companions and Elias began with the heavenly thunder summoned by the latter.

Julius unleashed a beam of holy light that shot into the sky. Beneath the rain, countless blades of light followed the direction of his sword and crashed down on the girl on the giant tortoise's back like a torrent.

Ye Xiao's figure moved swiftly amidst the falling lightning, his long sword slashing down in a crescent shape along with the lightning.

Only the Blood Prince Assal was a bit bewildered, flying alone to the side, watching the sudden and intense battle unfold before him, feeling as if he had been ignored.

"Hey, didn't we agree that you'd duel me first after we finished fighting?"
