Chapter 618: Chapter 170 Nine Heavens God Thunder_3
The Pope’s face suddenly changed when the rainbow clouds appeared in the sky. The first time Xuan Ye used the Light of Reincarnation, he was already surprised, and the appearance of these rainbow clouds shocked him even more. He exclaimed in alarm, "Not good, this is the Nine Heavens God Thunder. All clergy, heed my orders and immediately construct the Barrier of Light. Form it into a circular barrel shape around the Light Altar."
When the believers on the periphery of the Divine Mountain saw the "rainbow auspicious clouds" in the sky, they couldn’t help cheering, thinking it was a good omen given by the sky god. But how could they know that if this energy really burst forth without any obstruction, they would truly ascend to heaven.
"The Nine Heavens God Thunder is a divine thunder from the heavens that possesses immense power. Even among the sky gods, only those stronger than the main god can use it. Its divine power is the strongest in the world, something that humans cannot contend with." This sentence was recorded in the most precious divine book of the church. The divine book can be said to be the only book that the church can use to understand the sky gods. Only the successive Popes have the right to read it. The Pope never expected that Ah Dai would draw upon this potent Nine Heavens God Thunder. He knew that if he didn’t defend properly, the entire Divine Mountain might crumble under the Nine Heavens God Thunder. He hurriedly began to chant his most powerful defensive magic.
Under the Pope’s guidance, several thousand high-ranking priests simultaneously cast a level-four magic, Light’s Barrier. This magic’s defensive power wasn’t very strong, but under the Pope’s command and cast simultaneously by thousands of high-ranking priests, its power was incomparable. Large patches of golden light fluttered up, floating towards the Temple of Light. The Pope waved his hand through the air, a golden crack appeared in front of him, and he muttered a few spells. A golden light flew out of the crack, it was the treasure of the church, the staff of successive Popes—the Divine Wand. The Divine Wand was about two meters long, as thick as a pigeon egg, and there was a pair of golden wings on the head of the staff. In the center of the wings was a huge golden gemstone, which was about ten centimeters in diameter. The Divine Wand looked like a magnified version of Xuan Yue’s Angel Wand, but the divine power it contained far exceeded that of the Angel Wand. It was the only special-level divine artifact of light on the entire continent. Although it was not as high-level as Ah Dai’s Sword of Hades, it was not far off. The key was that the Pope, having received the sacrament, could completely control this divine artifact. This was something Ah Dai could not compare with, as only the real Hades in the Demon Realm could fully control the Sword of Hades. The appearance of the Divine Wand immediately made the Pope’s chanting seem a lot easier. A giant six-winged golden angel appeared in the light emitted from the Divine Wand, and under the Pope’s control, it constantly absorbed the Light Barriers cast by the thousands of priests. In a short while, its body seemed as real as physical matter, and the massive sacred aura it emanated made everyone feel a sense of reverence. This was the Pope’s most robust defensive magic—the Six Winged Angel’s Wall. Without the amplification of the Divine Wand, the Pope’s ability alone would not be sufficient to summon this ultimate defensive forbidden curse. But with the support of thousands of priests, the Six Winged Angel’s Wall was unprecedentedly strong, and the golden angel quickly grew to several tens of meters high.
At this moment, the Three of Xuan Ye are finally ready with the Light of Reincarnation. A mournful howl erupted from the tip of Wrath of the Gods, and a dark blue light about five centimeters in diameter shot towards Ah Dai in the sky like a flash of lightning. Although the dark blue light seemed thin, no one there doubted the destructive power it contained, after all, it was the combined full force of the Three Red Robe Priests.
Ah Dai in mid-air suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils were like black gems, emitting a profound glow. There was no trace of emotion in that light. A tall, vague figure appeared behind him. This figure was black, and seemed to be holding a long weapon in its hand, but because the figure was too vague, no one could tell exactly what it was.
When the Six Winged Angel the Pope summoned saw the black figure behind Ah Dai, its huge body actually trembled as if it were afraid of something. Ah Dai’s voice suddenly became incredibly deep, "Invoke the power of the Nine Heavens God Thunder, and break through all barriers." He suddenly swung his right hand down, and the black figure behind him made the same movement. The rainbow glow in the sky lit up brightly, and a colorful lightning bolt suddenly struck down. Perhaps due to the principle of extremes resulting in inversion, no thunder was heard, everything in the sky became eerily quiet. The colorful light seemed to swallow everything it passed, including sound. The Six Winged Golden Angel trembled violently but under the Pope’s strenuous control, it eventually transformed into a golden pillar of light, completely enveloping Ah Dai in the sky and the light altar on the ground.
The dark blue light of Reincarnation from the Three Red Robe Priests and the colorful lightning of the Nine Heavens God Thunder intersected in mid-air. Surprisingly, when the Light of Reincarnation met the colorful lightning, it exploded into a strong blue light. The light pillar formed by the Six Winged Golden Angel shook violently, but the shaking only lasted for a moment. The dark blue light disappeared, but the colorful lightning remained just as potent. The attack Ah Dai produced with his power effortlessly dissolved the combined Light of Reincarnation from the Three Red Robe Priests, leaving everyone who was worried for him dumbstruck. The colorful lightning struck down, and although its speed slowed slightly, everyone could see that once that tremendous energy hit the Light Altar, none of the Three of Xuan Ye would survive. Even the Pope could not prevent this tragedy. He had already used all his power for defense and couldn’t spare any to save Xuan Ye and the others. Even if he could spare the energy, he might not be able to withstand the God Thunder that Ah Dai invoked from the heavens.
