"The power of faith is so strong!?"
On the edge of the battlefield in a helicopter, Jiang Hou was also a bit surprised by the power of that sword.
He wasn't surprised by the power of the Blazing Angel's shadow, which under the enhancement of faith almost matched the power of a Half-Step Tier Eight, but rather by Divine Palace Feiyue's 'conversion' of faith.
Faith has long been a subject of study, with Nanshan Country being one of the leaders in this field.
Those ancient statues worshipped by the Divine Teaching, and even Tier Eight Transcendents who declared themselves deities, established Divine Teachings for ordinary people's faith, collected the power of faith to enhance their strength.
But over the decades, although some have used the faith of millions to condense a golden deity form, stepping into the demigod realm, the conversion and use of faith power remains within the understanding range.
Yet at this moment, Divine Palace Feiyue is somewhat exaggerated, converting the shallow faith power of hundreds of thousands into the faith enhancement of a million devout followers.
This is no longer a simple conversion rate of a thousand percent, but a unique 'ability' of the Blazing Angel, allowing her to command faith as if a truly divine being.
Boom Boom Boom!!
Without an equivalent Saint-level powerhouse to restrain it, with each swing of the sword by the Blazing Angel shadow standing on the battlefield, a firepower position of the Western Continent Alliance would disappear.
Mountains collapsed and the earth shattered.
In addition to destroying firepower positions, the Tier Six Transcendents on the battlefield were also targets of the attacks.
Once locked onto by the Blazing Angel, they were instantly obliterated under the Judgment Sword Light, unable to defend against the terrifying power despite erupting with various divine abilities, instilling terror across the battlefield.
As a result, the Western Continent Alliance Corps on the Central Battlefield quickly began to collapse.
However, after defeating the Western Alliance Corps, the armies of Bauhinia and Kammon pursued for only a few dozen kilometers before stopping, then expertly cleaned up the battlefield and treated the wounded.
This scene was very practiced, as if rehearsed many times before.
Amid the howling wind, the helicopter slowly descended and landed on the open ground of the rear command post, where Miss Akalin, dressed in a white coat, was already waiting.
Seeing the young man with black and red hair stepping off the helicopter, Akalin's eyes immediately showed a fiery gaze.
Jiang Hou coughed lightly, "Miss Akalin, could you please not look at me with such eyes? I'm afraid I won't be able to control the impulse to punch you."
"Mr. Jiang, you really know how to joke."
Akalin smiled warmly and retrieved her gaze, then looked at Mocha who was accompanying, "Colonel Mocha, I'll take charge of entertaining Mr. Jiang from here on."
"Yes." The young man saluted solemnly, then sat back in the helicopter and left.
At this moment, a white glow spread out overhead, and the winged shadow of an angel holding the Judgment Divine Sword walked towards them, exuding a divine aura all around.
As the angelic shadow approached, it continuously shrank until it descended from the sky, transforming into a figure surrounded by white brilliance.
Unlike when she released the Ancient Angel power in the Stone Tower space before, Divine Palace Feiyue's appearance and aura had greatly changed now.
Her already stunning features became more pronounced, her skin shimmering with a soft glow, and the cross-shaped runes in her gold and silver eyes radiated a terrifying majesty.
The black hair behind her had transformed into a gold and white cascade reaching to her heels, elegantly framed by the white winged hair ornaments on either side of her ears.
The only thing that remained unchanged was her voluptuous figure, covered by a radiant silver-red armored dress, her wings unfurled, resembling a true angel.
Jiang Hou admired, "Senior Sister Shengong's power after fully releasing the Ancient Angel is so strong."
Divine Palace Feiyue shook her head slightly, "Junior Brother, don't joke. You've slain a Half-Step Tier Eight powerhouse on the frontline battlefield."
"Although I may seem powerful now, it's not without its costs."
Previously, when Divine Palace Feiyue went to Bauhinia Country, the full release of her Ancient Angel power was about at Tier Six Peak, with combat power comparable to Half-Step Tier Seven.
Until she went to the Ancient God Research Institute, where Akalin mobilized resources to help her transform into an Ancient Angel, breaking through to Tier Seven.
And due to the transformation of her life form towards being an angel, she acquired some characteristics of a divine being, her strength advancing rapidly, achieving Late-tier Seven under the infusion of resources.
But as she said, her method of advancement was not without cost.
Even on the Kammon Battlefield, gathering faith to condense the Blazing Angel's unique [Celestial Divine Kingdom] projection in angelic form still bordered on the edge of losing control.
Of course, Divine Palace Feiyue didn't say these things, instead changing the subject, softly, "Junior Brother, let's handle your matters first."
"Almost forgot the main task." Jiang Hou focused on Akalin.
"Miss Akalin, as I mentioned before, if you can help me find a fragment of the Yama Prison Demon Blade, I'll give you some giant beast form biological tissue."
"But my transformation into the giant beast is a bit dramatic, so you take some blood first, then we'll change locations for the transformation."
"Alright." Akalin nodded eagerly, then took out a syringe, similar to the one used by Fu Wenjing before.
The needle was specially made, enough to penetrate the skin and muscles of a Tier Six Transcendent.
Taking the blood was simple, done in just a few moves, but since it was an 'outsider,' Jiang Hou charged double the price, two Dark Divine Weapon Fragments for one vial of blood.
After drawing blood, the three of them went to a hillside behind the command post.
"These two will do, remember to use your power to shield yourselves later. When I transform, I can't control the leakage of Celestial Fire Power at that moment." With that, the rocks beneath Jiang Hou's feet shattered.
Boom! Under the backlash force, Jiang Hou shot into the sky, his body erupting with dark demonic energy, first transforming into the Hell Monarch form, then roaring.
Roar!
A majestic, violent roar reverberated through the heavens and earth, white shockwaves of exploding air surrounding Jiang Hou's rapidly expanding form as fur and scale armor appeared.
Boom!
Scorching black Celestial Fire erupted, and a behemoth over a hundred and ten meters tall descended from the sky. The ground beneath exploded instantly, sending up dirt and dust hundreds of meters high.
Before these dust and dirt could land, they were vaporized by the high temperatures emanating from the Heaven-Burning Demon Flame.
In the blink of an eye, the earth around Purgatory Divine Ape turned to magma, and within the invisible high-temperature radiation, the trees within a kilometer radius charred and burned, turning into a sea of fire.
On the hundred-meter-high hillside, Akalin looked with intense enthusiasm at the ferocious giant beast ahead, with an urge to pull out a scalpel and make a few cuts.
At this moment, Divine Palace Feiyue softly said, "Akalin, hold back. You can't defeat Junior Brother in his giant beast form."
"Ahem! I know." Akalin coughed lightly.
Under the gaze of the two, the massive and terrifying Purgatory Divine Ape extended its right claw, and the sharp, red-tipped finger pressed against its left arm.
Boom! The fingertip imbued with terrifying power tore through the thick scale armor, erupting with a missile-like explosion and energy halo.
Even as Purgatory Divine Ape, its own defense was so strong that trying to break through was somewhat strenuous, clawing out a piece of 'flesh and blood several dozen centimeters in size.
And when the fingertip withdrew, the torn skin and scale armor visibly began to heal.
"Here, this is the promised tissue sample." Purgatory Divine Ape rumbled, gently flicking the 'tiny' piece of flesh and blood attached to its fingertip towards Akalin and Feiyue.
Boom! With a sonic boom, the piece several dozen centimeters in size, like a burning black-red magma, shot out like a cannonball due to its immense weight.
Whoosh!
Akalin's face lit up with excitement, the sleeve of her white coat's left arm extending several meters, like a universe within, capturing the rapidly incoming flesh.
By this time, Jiang Hou's form had rapidly shrunk back, returning to the handsome form of the Hell Monarch.
"Here, these are the agreed Divine Weapon Fragments." Akalin was also very forthright, taking out a black box when Jiang Hou appeared on the hillside with a flash.
"Miss Akalin, you're quite straightforward."
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Hou's handsome face as he took the box.
With the Divine Weapon Fragments in hand, the next goal was to break through to Tier Seven in human form.
