Chapter 1333: Chapter 129 Soul Release
Xuan Ye inwardly cursed the bad turn of events, unsure of how to respond, when suddenly, Xuan Yuan beside him let out a long howl. The clear and resonant sound pierced the sky, starkly contrasting the silvery laughter, the two kinds of voices incessantly entwining midair, neither able to suppress the other. With a grave expression, Xuan Yuan watched the Silver Moon Maiden atop the hill, his golden Divine Battle Aura radiating from his body. Under the surge of Holy Power, his howl gained a slight advantage. Influenced by Xuan Yuan’s howl, the members of the cathedral immediately calmed down, no longer disturbed by the opponent. The Silver Moon Maiden’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. She flashed a radiant smile at Xuan Yuan and said, "Judgment Chief indeed possesses remarkable skills! I truly admire you. My name is Moon King, I hope you’ll remember my name. When you find yourself in Hell, make sure not to report the wrong grievances! Let me introduce you to the individuals flanking me. It’s only fair to let you go to your grave informed." While speaking, she pointed to a bizarre figure standing over two meters tall beside her and said, "This one here is the Dragon Man King, ranking second among our twelve King of Heaven. You must have never heard of the Dragon People, I suppose. The Dragon Man Clan is the strongest among the entire Half-beast Clan, and it’s fair to say that the Dragon Man King is indeed the king of all Half-Beasts. He possesses the bloodline of dragons, a formidable body, and sharp attacks. Judgment Chief Xuan Yuan, I think he will most certainly be a formidable adversary for you. I hope you two will get properly acquainted soon."
The Dragon Man King looked disdainfully at Xuan Yuan, his gaze shot out tangibly, not yielding a millimeter in his standoff with Xuan Yuan. The Dragon Man King was wrapped entirely in black scales, and other than his human-like stature, every other aspect of him was completely beast-like. He had sharp claws on all four limbs and a thick tail about a meter long extending from his back, with bulging, robust muscles beneath his scales. Every move he made projected a formidable presence. Seeing the fierce visage of the Dragon Man King, Xuan Yuan couldn’t help but inwardly shudder. The demoness said they had twelve great Kings of Heaven; if every one of them possessed such power, it was no empty threat that the cathedral’s mission could end in total annihilation. Having used up some of his vitality when he vanquished the Wing King earlier, he was striving to recover it. In Xuan Yuan’s heart, intent on killing surged unfettered, desiring to obliterate these aberrations before him.
Xuan Ye had a different perception; he clearly understood that the enemy was displaying their power rather than immediately launching an attack because they wanted to psychologically suppress their opponents, first seizing the spirit of the cathedral’s members before utterly annihilating them with a thunderous force. He sneered inwardly. Could the cathedral that had stood for a thousand years on the continent really be so easy to deal with? Even if they were utterly defeated, they would make the enemy pay a hefty price. As long as the White Robe Priest behind him completed the Spell, he could switch from defense to offense. Thus, Xuan Ye did not refute the Moon King’s words, allowing her to continue speaking.
The Moon King stood next to the Dragon Man King, her petite and exquisite form looking even more delicate by contrast. She turned her head to look at the robust Dwarf King to the other side, smiling and saying, "This one here is our powerful Dwarf King, ranked third among the twelve Kings of Heaven. As for the Wing King, who was injured by the Judgment Chief, he is ranked fourth. You mustn’t have expected that the Dwarves and Winged People, reputedly lovers of peace, would actually be ours. Indeed, as rumors claimed, they once were, but now they have fully embraced the God of Netherworld’s embrace, the choice they were always meant to make. I suppose you are all quite astonished now, aren’t you? Alas, it’s too late for you to know."
Xuan Ye snorted coldly and said, "Indeed, we are surprised. We had no thought that so many Dark Forces could exist under the church’s jurisdiction on the continent. However, your good days are over. As long as we can break out from here today, don’t even dream of finding a foothold on the continent again. Let me also bring you some surprises. Those who betray the glory of God, I shall take back your life; those who betray the majesty of God, I shall take back your soul; those who betray the faith of God, I shall take back your right to live. Oh power of God arise! Through my hands, the great Sky God shall punish those sacrilegious beings who desecrate the God Spirit—Divine Judgment." He chanted the incantation at an astonishing speed. Supported by six highly adept White Robe Priests, the Level Eight Holy Light Attack Magic was soon completed. The Wrath of the Gods in gold emanated from behind Xuan Ye, radiating brilliantly. Bathed in the Holy Power’s illumination, all the members of the cathedral suddenly felt their spirits lifted.
Six White Robe Priests quickly formed a circle around Xuan Ye, chanting the Prayer Charm aloud, and the white holy light enveloped the gold glow emanating from Xuan Ye, shooting straight towards the heavens. As the light shone, the dark clouds above underwent a drastic change, transforming into a pale golden cloud. The ground, initially somewhat dim, instantly brightened. Standing where the six White Robe Priests gathered, a huge white hexagram appeared on the ground in an instant, with Xuan Ye standing at its center. He held the Wrath of the Gods aloft, looking disdainfully at the Moon King whose complexion drastically changed, pointing the Wrath of the Gods in his hand towards the heavens. Suddenly, a golden bolt of lightning burst from the cloud, wielding tremendous Holy Power, and cleaved directly at the mountaintop where the Moon King and the others stood.
As Xuan Ye began chanting the Spell, the Moon King already sensed the impending disaster. This light-based Level Eight Magic exerted enormous pressure on them, beings of darkness. She immediately ordered all races to attack the people in the cathedral and instructed the Dark Ice King, ranked sixth, and the Black Magic King, ranked eleventh among the Kings of Heaven, to launch Dark Magic to confront Xuan Ye.
