Chapter 734: Chapter 199: Bone Dragon Corps_2
Ah Dai was startled and asked Yun Ying, who was beside him, "Elder, these Bone Dragons seem to have discovered our presence, so why haven’t they attacked us? Take a look, what is the white light behind them? Could it be that they are planning to confront Grandpa Pope’s Forbidden Curse directly?"
Yun Ying shook his head and said, "I’m not sure either. All we can do is wait. If the Pope and four Red Robe Priests can suppress the Bone Dragons with their Forbidden Curse, it will greatly increase our odds of defeating them."
At this moment, Sheng Xie suddenly stood up. His gaze still fixed on the two enormous Bone Dragons. Feeling alarmed, Ah Dai keenly sensed some sort of inner struggle within Sheng Xie due to their mental connection. He asked with confusion, "Xiao Xie, what’s wrong with you?"
Sheng Xie shook his large head, and his voice resonated within Ah Dai’s heart, "Big brother, I... I’m not sure what’s going on either. These Bone Dragons seem different from Xiao Gu Tou. Particularly the two largest ones, they seem to have a connection to me. Big brother, can we not make a move yet?"
Ah Dai glanced at the Pope and the others who were still continuously gathering divine power and laughed bitterly, "We are forced to take action now that we have reached this point. These undead creatures are evil by nature, we must eliminate them!"
Sheng Xie nodded his colossal head and once again resumed his contemplative posture.
"Oh great Sky God, who illuminates the heavens and nurtures everything, grant me the use of your eternal radiance to heal the wounds of evil and purify the air of this world. Oh sacred light elements, your power is limitless, darkness pales in your presence. Eternal light that flows in the sky, I beseech thee to descend upon earth and annihilate all evil. The Forbidden Curse - Eternal Light!" With the completion of the Pope’s spell, the four Red Robe Priests immediately accelerated the light elements they had been gathering, directing them towards the Pope. The golden light from the Divine Wand in the Pope’s hand suddenly expanded threefold and the clouds in the sky shone even brighter. The surrounding light elements started to violently flare up, pushing Ah Dai and the others dozens of meters away. The Pope and four Red Robe Priests were all levitating above the ground. A huge golden hexagram appeared beneath their feet. The Pope and Xuan Yue, who had both undergone the divine baptism, had the same four Wings of Light appear behind them. The remaining three Red Robe Priests began to shake slightly under the increasing energy, clearly from being overburdened and struggling to keep up. Even Ah Dai, who was not primarily trained in magic, could feel the violent fluctuations of the light elements. It was clear just how powerful this spell was considering the immense consumption of magic power and the time it took to cast it. In order to ensure the successful casting of this spell by the Pope and others, Ah Dai devoted most of his focus on monitoring the Bone Dragon Corps in the valley before them. As the golden clouds in the sky got brighter, the white glow gathering behind the Bone Dragons was also continuously intensifying. Suddenly, the two Bone Dragon Kings in the center let out a loud roar, sending echoes throughout the entire valley. Piercing white rays of light shot out from the spines on their backs and soared about hundred meters into the sky before converging together to form a large ball of white energy. The other Bone Dragons, depending on their size, gathered energy at different rates, continuously injecting rays of white light into the energy ball in the sky, gradually expanding the size of the energy ball and filling it with terrifying energy.
Seeing this, Sheng Xie rose to his feet again. Ah Dai also realized that something was wrong; the reaction of these Bone Dragons was strikingly similar to Sheng Xie’s Dragon Speech Spell. A voice, ancient and heavy, sounded from within the horde of Bone Dragons, "Despicable humans, all you know is to use sneak attacks. Now, witness the power of our Dragon Clan. In the name of the Dragon King, Holy Dragon Power, unleash!" The white energy ball in the sky, already filled with the energy of over two hundred Bone Dragons, started to shrink in size. Ah Dai’s face took on a grave expression. Being familiar with energy control, he understood that the Dragons were compressing the energy ball in the sky. Once triggered, it would undoubtedly be tremendously powerful. Now the only hope was pinned on the Pope’s Forbidden Curse, but it was unsure who would gain the upper hand.
The level-two Forbidden Curse, Eternal Light, was finally completed. The four Red Robe Priests landed on the ground simultaneously. Except for Xuan Yue who could still stand, the other three Red Robe Priests collapsed on the ground, immediately meditating to recover their magic power. The majestic Pope ascended into the air, looking at the white energy ball in the valley that was shrinking in size, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. Pointing the Divine Wand in his hand, he bellowed, "Eternal Light, destroy all evil!" Suddenly, the golden clouds in the sky dispersed and Sunshine spread over the Mountain Range of Undead for the first time in a millennium. A beam of milky-white light descended from the sky as if it had separated from the sun itself. The light rapidly expanded, covering the entire Bone Dragon Valley. Ah Dai was amazed to discover that under the converage of the Eternal Light, the air in the valley was distorting, creating a bizarre spectacle that left him stunned. He had never imagined that magic could reach such a level, no wonder Yue Yue had said that the Church possessed arcane techniques.
The largest Bone Dragon in the valley raised its head sharply, the spines on its back instantly increasing in size. The white energy ball in the sky, seemingly under its control, violently exploded amidst the compression. Two near identical white rays of light violently collided in the sky, representing the powers of righteousness and evil. The combined beings of more than two hundred Bone Dragons was terrifying. The ghastly white light was actually able to resist the light-based Forbidden Curse cast by the Pope and the four Red Robe Priests. As two Forbidden Curse-level energies struggled against each other, a massive shockwave caused the mountain peak where Ah Dai and the others were standing to slightly shake. Their breathing quickened with the arrival of the shockwave; seeing the situation turn bad, Ah Dai quickly channeled his True Qi, solidifying it to form a golden energy wall facing the blast. Even with his level of cultivation, his body violently shook when the shockwave collided with the solidified energy wall, and a sensation of asphyxiation washed over him. If it were anyone else in Ah Dai’s place, they would have likely been swallowed up by the enormous shockwave. In the middle of the Bone Dragon Valley, continuous muffled noises reverberated as the two huge energies remained in a stalemate, unable to gain an advantage over each other.
