Chapter 1639: A Twelve-Winged Seraph
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Western Church had always ruled the supernatural world of the west. It was not just because it was powerful, but also because of its diverse means.
It had many forces, including the Holy Cross Army, the Chosen Ones, Paladins, and Inquisitors. Because of their long history, each of these forces had developed its own strange means. Without their help, the Western Church would never be able to defeat so many compet.i.tors and acquire the two Holy Artifacts.
Now, it even coveted the last two Holy Artifacts, which were possessed by Bu Fang. So Hagens invited him over and set up an extremely powerful restrictive array. Bestowed by G.o.d, the array could seal anything in the world. That was why the Cardinal was so confident.
Hagens did not dare to underestimate Immortals of Hua, but he had absolute confidence in the means of his G.o.d. However, at this moment, his belief began to weaver as he watched Bu Fang walk out of the array…
The complicated pattern on the six-pointed star cracked and shattered like gla.s.s, falling into pieces. Bu Fang stepped out of it at a steady pace, followed by Nethery and the Empyrean Fairy. Foxy and Shrimpy sat on his shoulders, while the Kun Bird perched on top of his head.
Behind them, Xiao Ai was gasping for breath, her eyes filled with fear. She could feel the restrictive force on her had disappeared—the strange power that seemed to nail her on a cross was gone. Just now, she thought her soul was about to be wiped out by it.
After catching her breath, she quickly pulled out her camera. She was very excited because she knew that Senior was about to reveal his true strength.
…
This was a clash between Eastern and Western G.o.ds. However, there was only one Eastern G.o.d, who was Sect Leader Tongtian, as Bu Fang had not joined them.
Tongtian was very calm. He was sitting cross-legged in midair. The four swords kept wheeling over him, and tiny swords flew out of them, suppressing all the G.o.ds around him. Many of the G.o.ds present were as strong as Immortal Emperors, but they had failed to defeat him, even when they had joined forces.
Somewhere not so far away, the Queen Mother of the West watched with mixed emotions. ‘He truly is Sect Leader Tongtian!’
The Egyptian G.o.d of Death, Anubis, raised his soul-crus.h.i.+ng axe and brought it down toward Tongtian with all his might as if he was hacking a mountain. But the Sect Leader only waved a finger, and countless swords immediately surrounded him and kept cutting him, causing his blood to spill all over the place.
“How dare lesser G.o.ds like you bully the Immortal of Hua and covet our Ancestral Planet’s Divine Artifacts?” Tongtian curled his lips in disdain.
Zeus was waving his scepter, attracting countless lightning bolts of different colors, including blue, purple, silver, and gold. Regardless of their colors, these lightning bolts all came with power enough to destroy the world.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the temple—or even the entire castle—should have turned into ruins, but nothing was destroyed when the blasts of the battle fell on them. There was a force protecting the Western Church, which seemed to have originated from a mysterious array.
Cain, the first vampire, possessed great power and had always been an evil spirit wanted by the Western Church. This time, however, he had joined the side who was attacking Sect Leader Tongtian and worked hand in hand with the Pope. Black energy surrounded him, and a column of blood-red light thrust out of his body as countless bats flew out of his sleeves, emanating a strong, black aura of death.
The Sect Leader glanced coldly at him.
The Pope was clad in a golden robe and held a golden scepter. Holy light kept spreading out from him, illuminating the world. Suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out and the ground cracked, then shafts of golden light thrust out of the lines, mixed with the black energy, and shot toward Tongtian.
Meanwhile, the Queen Mother moved further back and hid herself in the void. In her opinion, Tongtian was a fool to help that evil man. Their purpose here was to kill the evil man and seize the Divine Artifacts. Those strange G.o.ds wanted to help, and yet the Sect Leader chose to fight them instead…
The attacks from the four Immortal-Emperor-level experts—the Pope, Zeus, Anubis, and Cain—managed to suppress Tongtian.
Sitting cross-legged in midair, the Sect Leader put his fingers together. He was a mighty existence, and he would not allow these lesser G.o.ds to push him around. The next moment, with a thought in his mind, the four swords wheeling in the sky whistled and glowed blindingly. Then, thousands of swords fell from them and enveloped the four supreme existences.
A wary look came over the Queen Mother’s face. ‘This is… the Immortal Slaughtering Array! The number one killing array in the world!’ She was filled with dread instantly.
The array was Tongtian’s ultimate move, powerful enough to slaughter G.o.ds and Immortals. Even Saints would not be able to resist it. And this time, he had used it without hesitation. The sword array engulfed the four Immortal-Emperor-level existences in a flash.
Meanwhile, Bu Fang walked slowly out of the six-pointed star.
Hagens’s pupils constricted. Clutching the book in his hand, he retreated. Behind him, the red-robed Cardinals stepped forward, raised the books in their hands, and pointed them at Bu Fang.
“Where are the other two Divine Artifacts?” Bu Fang asked as he stared indifferently at Hagens. His face was expressionless, while his Vermilion Robe flapped noisily in the wind, making him look like a transcendent being.
Hagens sneered. “How dare an evil man like you covet the Western Church’s Holy Artifacts? You are courting death!” As he said that, he flipped a page on his book. Streams of texts immediately flew out of it and went at Bu Fang, trying to suppress him. At the same time, those red-robed Cardinals behind him began to chant.
The streams of texts quickly surrounded Bu Fang and wound around his body, his arms, and even his fingers. It was a purifying force—it was going to purify his soul. Nethery and the Empyrean Fairy were caught by them as well.
The fairy was shrouded by immortal energy, and since she was just one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor, she did not fear the restriction. However, Nethery’s strength was being suppressed now…
A rumbling sound echoed out as the texts fell on her. Suddenly, the ghostly green light on her grew brighter and stronger, and soon it seemed to have taken physical form. It was a confrontational force!
“The devil! This girl is the devil!” Hagens screamed as his eyes widened and fixed on Nethery.
Nethery glanced at the Cardinal. She felt that the curse power in her was stirring. Then, her eyes suddenly turned ghostly green. The texts that wound around her crumbled as a huge cursed snake emerged, slithering around her.
The faces of Hagens and the other Cardinals changed drastically, and they all felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Nethery’s cursed aura had deeply disturbed them.
As for Bu Fang, he just took a step forward, and the texts that wound around him like chains broke and vanished completely.
Hagens was horrified. He felt things were a little out of his control. “Where are you, the Chosen Ones?!” he bellowed. Then, he clutched the cross on his neck. Holy light burst out of the cross in an instant, turning into an energy s.h.i.+eld that enveloped him.
While bellowing, Hagens kept retreating. He had a feeling that death was closing in on him as he watched Bu Fang approach. Cardinals like him were just mortals who borrowed G.o.d’s power, so their flesh was extremely fragile.
Expressionless, Bu Fang took a step forward and appeared in front of Hagens. Looking at the s.h.i.+eld, he lifted a fist and punched it.
A loud noise rang out. Hagens felt a shudder go through him, then he saw the cross in his hand crack and crumble…
“Where are the Chosen Ones?! Where are they?!” he screamed in horror. With the s.h.i.+eld broken, he retreated hurriedly and fell to the ground.
“Tell me where the other two Divine Artifacts are…” Bu Fang said coldly, looking down at the Cardinal.
Hagens just shook his head. Suddenly, his face flickered. Behind him, two figures emerged, each thrusting a slim sword at Bu Fang. “Kill him for me! It’s time for you Chosen Ones to offer your strength to G.o.d!” As he said that, he rose to his feet and retreated further at top speed.
Meanwhile, the two figures’ swords struck Bu Fang. To their surprise, a loud clanging sound of metal on metal rang out as their swords collided with his flesh, accompanied by bright sparks.
The attackers were a man and a woman, both clad in plain linen clothes and looked like ordinary people. However, as Bu Fang looked at them, their aura skyrocketed.
“Die now, blasphemers!” they cried out at the same time. As they said that, a vast amount of energy began to boil in them, while white wings spread behind them. Soon, each of them had three pairs of wings unfolded. They were the Chosen Ones, the Six-Winged Angels!
As holy light sprinkled down from the sky, they sped toward Bu Fang at great speed. The Chosen Ones were the Western Church’s main force. Those angels who came from beside G.o.d had made the Western Church into a supreme existence.
All of a sudden, the pupils of the two Six-Winged Angels constricted and they halted in place, struggling hard to breathe. In just the blink of an eye, Bu Fang had approached them, grabbed them by the necks, and threw them to the ground.
The ground exploded with a rumble, while white feathers filled the air.
“Two bird people?” Bu Fang said indifferently. Then, he raised his hands and slapped both angels on the heads. With a thump, the two angels dissolved into thousands of white light dots, slowly fading away.
In the distance, Hagens was terrified. ‘Why can’t G.o.d’s array control him? How did he obliterate the two Six-Winged Angels so easily? Is this the might of an Immortal Emperor of Hua?!’
Bu Fang stared coldly at the Cardinal. Meanwhile, Nethery appeared behind him. Hissing, the ghostly green cursed snake on her darted toward Hagens. Bu Fang made no move but just watched. Nethery, with her strength recovered, was not someone who Hagens could deal with.
Even the Empyrean Fairy was shocked by Nethery’s strength. She had thought the girl was only strong in terms of flesh, but it turned out that her strength was so fearsome and she even had a scary snake! The curse power that filled the ghostly green snake frightened the fairy, and she had a feeling that if she were touched by it, she would die instantly.
As the cursed snake approached Hagens, the sky over the Western Church split apart, and with a clanging sound, a sword ablaze with golden flames fell from the opening and stabbed into the ground before him. The powerful impact knocked him flying back, but he was overjoyed because the sword had nailed the large snake on the ground.
A whistling sound filled the air as shafts of golden light thrust out of the clouds in the sky. Then, an armored, handsome angel with six pairs of wings flew out of them. Emanating holy light, the Twelve-Winged Seraph glanced around with an indifferent face and said, “Those who try to kill G.o.d’s messengers have committed sin punishable by death…”
After that, he shook his hand. The sword that stabbed into the ground immediately rose into the air and pointed at Bu Fang.
