Chapter 619: Chapter 170: Nine Heavens God Thunder_4
As the rainbow lightning was less than ten meters from the ground, a struggle suddenly flashed in Ah Dai’s eyes. The spiritual power that had entered another realm returned to his body. He remembered Xuan Yue’s previous admonishment and shouted while looking at the falling rainbow lightning: "No—" All his spiritual power suddenly burst forth, and the sky full of rainbow lightning stopped abruptly, hovering three meters above the Light Altar under his full control. The strain on his spiritual power was so great that Ah Dai couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but he knew he absolutely couldn’t stop now. Once he stopped, the rainbow lightning could explode at any time. He gathered all his True Qi, and his white Dou Qi, now somewhat chaotic, constantly circled around his body.
"Rise—" A puff of blood mist exploded from Ah Dai, staining his one-day-old blue outfit red. A miracle occurred. Under Ah Dai’s desperate exertion, the rainbow lightning formed by the Nine Heavens God Thunder turned into a stream, disappearing into the sky, and the large clouds of color disappeared with it. Ah Dai’s body was trembling under the cover of the white life’s True Qi, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, apart from Ah Dai, was the most powerful martial artist present. Seeing Ah Dai’s plight, he exclaimed: "Oh no, he’s going to enter the state of berserk." After seeing the previous confrontation between Ah Dai and the three Red Robe Priests, Xuan Yuan was deeply impressed by Ah Dai’s powerful martial arts. Even though he had always aimed to be a Sword Saint, he didn’t know how powerful a Sword Saint could be until today. He realized how far he was from being a Sword Saint, and knew that he would never surpass Ah Dai in this lifetime, hence admiration welled up in his heart. Seeing that Ah Dai was already on the verge of collapse, Xuan Yuan was shocked...
About seven or eight figures rushed towards Ah Dai in the air at the same time. The first two to appear beside Ah Dai were the Prophet Pu Lin of the Pu Yan Clan and Xuan Yue. With the help of Space Magic’s Instant Teleportation, they reached Ah Dai ahead of everyone else. Xuan Yue didn’t think about anything else, quickly took out the Angel Wand, shoved a Golden Core made by the church to heal wounds into Ah Dai’s mouth, and then immediately used a middle-level Recovery Magic spell. A golden light suddenly brightened up, and she made all efforts to suppress
the rampaging True Qi in Ah Dai’s body.
Ah Dai’s consciousness was muddled, his body was entirely supported by the rampaging True Qi to keep from falling. Under Xuan Yue’s Light Healing Magic, his body shook, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly collapsed into Xuan Yue’s arms.
Xuan Yue tightly held onto Ah Dai’s body, with magical energy supporting both of them so they wouldn’t fall. Prophet Pu Lin, by virtue of his command over space, floated beside them, frowning, "It’s a good thing you helped stabilize his injury in time, otherwise, if the state of berserk intensifies, given his power, his body could explode and he could die. To retract the Divine Thunder he brought forth with all his strength, that is simply incredible." At this time, the Pope, Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, Xi Wen, Feng Wen, Larthas, and Byinlog had all flown to Xuan Yue’s side. Xi Wen grabbed Ah Dai’s wrist, did not check his internal condition first, and sent a robust True Qi into his body, using his robust cultivation to help Ah Dai sort out his chaotic vital energy.
Feng Wen said in a deep voice, "Big brother, how is he? Do you need my help?" Xi Wen shook his head and said to the Pope, "Your Holiness, you should have seen everything that happened just now. From any perspective, Ah Dai should have passed this ordeal. I hope that the Church will not make it difficult for him. You also know that this child is inherently kind and definitely did not intend to oppose the Church."
The Pope himself had no intention of making things difficult for Ah Dai. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Don’t worry, I will handle this matter. Take him down first."
Under the escort of the crowd, Xuan Yue cradled the unconscious Ah Dai and descended onto the Light Altar once more. The three Red Robe Priests on the altar all bore faces as ashen as death. They couldn’t believe that even the combined efforts of three Saint Light Magic Instructors had failed to subdue a young man in his twenties. Although the Nine Heavens God Thunder hadn’t struck in the end, anyone with discerning eyes could clearly understand who ultimately emerged victorious. In front of all these church officials, they had lost, and the hearts of the three Red Robe Priests were filled with complex emotions—resentment, fear, and even relief.
The only figure left in the sky, cloaked in golden light, was the Pope. Looking at the thousands of disappointed clergy before the Temple of Light, the Pope’s voice rang out excitedly: "The most loyal followers of the Sky God. I am delighted to share some news. The Savior we have long anticipated, sought, and awaited, has finally appeared. He is the young man who just competed with the three Red Robe Priests." The Pope’s declaration sent the clergy into a buzz, and the area before the Temple of Light was filled with murmurs and discussions. Every member of the clergy knew what the term "Savior" signified. The church’s first Pope, God Feather, had led various human races to quell the invasion of the Dark Demon Clan as the Savior a thousand years ago, ultimately establishing a peaceful nation across the continent. The church was also born at that time, and it was due to God Feather’s achievements that the church had risen to its present status. The high-ranking priests and Judges present had almost all been tasked with searching for the Savior throughout the continent. As followers of the Sky God, they naturally believed in the prophecy of the impending great disaster. When the Pope announced the arrival of the Savior, how could they not be excited? However, most of them were still filled with doubts. They did not understand why the Pope would claim that Ah Dai was the Savior.
The Pope quickly resolved the doubts in the hearts of the clergy. His voice, filled with passion, echoed: "You all saw what happened. Ah Dai, the third-generation disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, succeeded in calling forth the Nine Heavens God Thunder of Heaven during his competition with the three Red Robe Priests. According to important church doctrines, the Nine Heavens God Thunder can only be utilized by the Sky God of Heaven, yet he managed to do so. Based on the records left by God Feather a thousand years ago, I have every reason to believe that he is the Savior who will rescue the continent. Therefore, his act of halting the wedding today could be said to be ordained by the Sky God, so that he may lead us in our struggle against the dark forces. The great calamity of a millennium is approaching, with the dark forces running rampant, I hope that all clergy members will unite around the Savior and contribute to peace on the continent. Out of his compassion for the world, the Savior did not allow the Nine Heavens God Thunder to strike down. His kindness is truly worthy of our admiration. I command from now on, all clergy present must not leak any information about today’s events or disclose the whereabouts of the Savior. Otherwise, they will suffer the severest punishment from the Sky God. Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, and Red Robe Priests Xuan Ye, Mang Siu, and Yu Jian, immediately lead all clergy members back to the Divine Mountain to rest and await further orders."
Caught between the Pope’s authority and the surprise of the Savior’s appearance, the clergy members fell silent. Although some still harbored doubts, they could only hide their suspicions when faced with the supreme Pope of the church. Xuan Yuan and the three Red Robe Priests directed the clergy to head towards the Divine Mountain, while the guests gathered around the Light Altar. Apart from Quan Yi, who appeared somewhat dazed from the shock, all the other guests displayed either anxiety or admiration in their eyes.
