Pfft~
The sword edge flashed, and the flesh and bones were separated. The severed hand holding the cardinal's scepter flew into the air. Morris instantly lost the ability increase of the Philosopher's Stone, and his three major attributes of life energy level, vitality energy level and spiritual energy level immediately disappeared. plummeted, and also caused him to lose his 'immortality' characteristic.
"No!"
Morris let out a miserable howl, and his body withered and shriveled, like a piece of old bacon that had been dried in the sun.
It was obvious that he had grown old a long time ago. The reason why he had been able to maintain his life over the years was entirely due to the magical power of the Philosopher's Stone.
Now that the Philosopher's Stone is lost, the body is immediately knocked back to its original shape.
Ye Qingzhou jumped up, his feet rustling, and he flew in the wind. He grabbed the scepter in his hand, and then exerted force with his five fingers. After a heart-wrenching sound of metal breaking, he unexpectedly took the Philosopher's Stone. He was forcefully pulled off from the top of the scepter.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
The vitality in his body plummeted, and Morris felt his vitality continue to drain away. He stretched out his left hand to grab Ye Qingzhou in anger and horror.
"Your truth is now mine."
Holding the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Ye Qingzhou immediately felt the terrifying magic power contained in it, which was the unique power after the fusion of vitality and thinking energy.
"No! It's mine! Mine..."
Amidst the unwilling roar, Morris died of exhaustion. His body was like dead wood and mud, and eventually turned into powder on the ground and turned into flying dust.
This is what happens to people who rely on external forces once they lose their external forces.
"Is this the Philosopher's Stone?"
The moment Ye Qingzhou opened his eyes, mountains and seas of memories surged in, filling his mind and impacting his heart.
The whole person's will seems to be in a vast ocean of history, and the memories of countless people have turned into huge waves. If you are not careful, your heart and will will sink.
In this ocean of consciousness and memory, Ye Qingzhou saw Europe seven hundred years ago, when a terrible plague swept the entire Western world.
Blackness and death, along with swarms of rats and fleas, ravage the nations.
First a few people, then entire villages, entire neighborhoods, and even entire cities. Human beings died in droves, and rotting corpses covered with abscesses piled up like mountains.
Fully 25 million people died in mourning and despair, and one-third of the people were killed by this terrible plague.
Harvest!
This plague turned out to be a large-scale harvest targeting humans!
In the end, the souls and flesh and blood of countless dead people, the best parts of which were gathered together, were refined into the Philosopher's Stone in Ye Qingzhou's hand.
Just when Ye Qingzhou wanted to continue to peek at the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone, suddenly, a figure riding a white horse suddenly appeared. His body was filled with gray and black mist, and he was wrapped in a thick shroud, but Corpse water and pus still seeped out from the small cracks in the shroud, turning into light smoke and dispersing in the air.
The Plague Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
"You are an arrogant person, how dare you peek at the power of our god, and I will sentence you to death!"
Boom~
The arm wrapped in a layer of shroud punched, and in the wind of the punch, various deadly plagues and viruses followed closely, making people feel heart-stopping.
This punch spanned distant time, penetrated layers of barriers, and struck from the past.
Ye Qingzhou's scalp was numb, and he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately used all his methods to block this terrifying attack that could crush his own soul.
Five Emperors Dragon Swordsmanship!
Five Scale Emperor Armor!
Third gear!
Five dragons flew together, with five-colored divine light and sword energy crisscrossing each other, weaving into a dense and dense net in front of them, blocking every attack.
However, the Plague Knight's punch contained the Great Path of Plague, and under the influence of his Heavenly King Martial God cultivation, it easily tore apart the sword net built by Ye Qingzhou.
Boom~
Five-scale body protection, Dragon Emperor's armor!
The five armors of green-scaled python armor, golden-scaled fish armor, red-scaled snake armor, black-scaled crocodile armor, and mountain-scaled rhinoceros armor were combined into one, forming a dense and thick absolute barrier on Ye Qingzhou's body.
Even a martial saint can't break it with one blow.
But under the Plague Knight's punch that spanned time and space, it was as if it was made of paper and was defeated in the blink of an eye.
Third gear!
The avenue of water and fire, cell resonance!
Ye Qingzhou frantically squeezed his own potential, and at the same time protected himself with the Xuanyuan Sword, using the power of the Cangyuan Realm to withstand the earth-shattering punch of the Plague Knight.
Dang~
The surging power filled every cell of Ye Qingzhou. The power of the plague continued to destroy the vitality in his body, and even continued to induce various pathological changes in his cells.
Black Death Fist!
How terrifying is the attack of the Heavenly King and Martial God?
This is a supreme power that can only be controlled by those who have reached the eleventh level of heaven. Even a martial saint who has condensed his mental image will die of hatred under this punch.
Fortunately, this was not the full blow of the Plague Knight, but the projection of the Plague Knight in the past. After seven hundred years and time, when it penetrated many obstacles, more than 80% of its power had already been consumed.
Although the Five Emperor Dragon Swordsmanship and the Five Scale Emperor Armor failed to block the remaining 20% of the power, they successfully consumed most of it. Only about 10% actually fell on Ye Qingzhou.
Less than ten percent.
But even so, Ye Qingzhou barely survived. He relied on several special skills he had practiced to be able to block the Black Death Fist of the Plague Knight.
The people around him didn't see the confrontation just now. They only saw Ye Qingzhou holding the Philosopher's Stone, then kneeling on one knee with a sound and spitting out a large mouthful of black blood.
And in the black blood, there are countless mutated plague insects that are constantly squirming.
If Ye Qingzhou hadn't cultivated the Emperor's magical power of immortality and expelled these plague poisonous insects from the body in time, he might not have been able to escape death.
Even if the Martial Saint is infected by the power of the Plague Avenue, it will be difficult for him to survive.
At this time, Ye Qingzhou had lost a lot of vitality, his body was extremely weak, and it was even difficult to even stand up.
"Good opportunity!"
Bucker suddenly changed his tactics, abandoned Simon, and instead launched a sneak attack on Ye Qingzhou. The target was none other than the Philosopher's Stone in Ye Qingzhou's hand.
"Bring it to you!"
"Want it?"
Ye Qingzhou smiled coldly and threw the Philosopher's Stone casually.
"You know the truth!"
Bucker grabbed the flying Philosopher's Stone and felt the infinite power contained in it. His face couldn't help but reveal almost crazy joy: "My Lord, is this a reward for my piety?"< br>
However, before Bucker could be happy for a few seconds, suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he screamed and roared: "No!"
Boom~
His entire body exploded suddenly, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and no bones remained.
Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and said in a contemptuous tone: "Obviously, you can't handle this overwhelming wealth."
On the other side, Vivian and Delphine teamed up to deal with Simon and Doma. When they saw Bucker's tragic death, they thought it was Ye Qingzhou who had done it, so they looked wary: "What did you do?"
< br>
"I didn't do anything. He wanted to die."
Ye Qingzhou pocketed the Philosopher's Stone.
He had just used all his cards and could barely withstand the Plague Knight's shocking punch.
It is obvious that the Philosopher's Stone in front of him belongs to its owner. Cardinal Morris only has the right to use the Philosopher's Stone, he is not the owner of the Philosopher's Stone.
Buckle doesn't have that ability, and he dares to snatch treasures randomly. This is asking for death.
Ye Qingzhou took a deep breath and transformed the power of thought transmitted from the Xuanyuan Sword. He finally successfully suppressed the injuries in his body and restored some of his vitality.
"Wait a minute, Bishop Morris is dead, why hasn't the ceremony ended yet?"
Delphine looked shocked.
Vivian also had a bad premonition: "Unless Morris is not the mastermind at all..."
At this moment, a thicker red light pillar broke through the seal of Saint-Etienne Cathedral and shot into the sky from the ground, dyeing the night sky a deep red color.
In the red light pillar, a dark inverted cross slowly rose, and on the cross, a beautiful girl wearing a white burqa was nailed to it.
The iron nail penetrated her white palm, and the blood flowing out was continuously absorbed by the cross behind her, lighting up more and more magic runes.
"That's the Saint of the Order of the Night!"
"Save people!"
Vivian is not kind-hearted. She is from the Dian country and does not care about the life and death of the followers of the Night God. However, the ceremony must be destroyed now, otherwise if it continues, the entire fashion city will be destroyed.
Bang~bang~
Delphine fired twice, but the two bullets hit Vivian and herself respectively.
Alchemy bullets not only cause damage, but can also use the power of elements to provide special blessings for yourself and your teammates. This time, the bullet fired by Delphine is called 'Wings of Victory'. After hitting the bullet, a pair of 'V'-shaped wings will be generated, allowing people to temporarily gain the ability to fly.
The two spread their wings and flew high, quickly approaching the dark inverted cross.
Just when they were about to save the Saint of the Night, a sword energy came across the sky. First, it cut off Vivian's wings of victory with one sword, and then the sword energy ejected at a clever angle, shattering the The wings behind Delphine.
One 'sword' and two eagles!
"Who!"
"People who hide their heads and show their tails are really despicable!"
After Vivian and Delphina landed in embarrassment, they immediately looked around cautiously.
At this moment, an elegant figure appeared in everyone's sight with calm steps. He held a book in his left hand, stabbed a sword in his right hand, and had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. His whole body was full of the intellectual temperament of a scholar. .
"Gavin Knight!"
Vivian looked in disbelief: "Sir, why are you here?"
Holding the handle of the gun in her hand, she actually already had the answer in her heart, but she still held a hope of luck and refused to accept this cruel reality.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The Blood Temple has replaced Europa's native pantheon for more than a thousand years and has become the lifelong faith of countless people.
Vivian, who was born in a family of knights, has been the most devout believer in the Scarlet Templar since she was a child. As one of the twelve Templar Knights, Gavin is not only of noble birth, but also a descendant of the Holy Blood Saint. He is also knowledgeable and talented, so he is The title of "Knight of Wisdom" was awarded and admired by countless believers.
Vivian is one of them. The wise knight Gavin is the person she admires most in her life. She joins the Knights of the Round Table in order to practice the way of the knight and become a person who guards the light.
"Knight Gavin, have you also betrayed God?"
"Betrayal?"
Gavin had a high nose and deep eyes, like a scholar full of knowledge, but the words he said made Vivian feel cold: "That's wrong, Morris didn't lie. All this is indeed God's will."< br>
"Impossible!"
Vivian still didn't want to believe it: "God is merciful, how could he issue such a ridiculous oracle?"
As the ceremony progressed, brutal fighting continued in the fashion capital. In just a few moments, the death toll exceeded 100,000.
If the ceremony continues, I am afraid that the entire city will be destroyed, and the number of dead people will exceed the two million mark, shaking the entire Blue Star.
This will be a tragedy after the tragedy in the foggy capital of the country.
Knight Gavin looked at Vivian calmly: "Young girl from the West family, you are the one who speculates on God's will without authorization. When God comes to the world, what he brings is not peace, but to make the earth use weapons."
The dark truth was cruelly revealed by Gavin in front of Vivian.
"God once destroyed Sodom, Gomorrah, and even Babylon. Every inch of the mountains and rivers in the Fertile Crescent is soaked with blood."
Gavin is one of the Twelve Knights of the Scarlet Temple and is the highest ranking member of the church, so he knows that God is a being of light and darkness.
God’s grace is like the sea, God’s power is like prison!
There is both kindness and light, as well as violence and darkness.
And in order to fulfill God's will, all sacrifices are tolerable.
"I am about to ascend to heaven and become a god. This is God's will. No matter how great the sacrifice is, God's will cannot be violated."
Gavin held up the knight's sword in his hand, his eyes were wise and pious: "God said, I will ascend to heaven and stand alongside God. I swear by the sword of enlightenment and the book of omniscience in my hand that I will kill evil for my god."
As soon as the words fell, the red light surged, the power of the sacrificial rituals continued to strengthen, and the casualties in the fashion capital also increased sharply.
One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...
In just a few moments, more than half a million people died tragically and became sacrifices in this ascension ceremony.
Their flesh, blood, and souls have become nutrients for the wise knights to ascend to the heavenly level and stand side by side with God.
The path to immortality is actually forged with the blood and flesh of all living beings.
Behind the flawless light are the miserable shouts and wails of countless people.
The Temple of Blood claims to be holy and bright, but it treats all living beings like lambs, taking them all without mercy. Such an approach is neither holy nor bright.
"Ah~"
In the sky, countless red threads gathered on the expression of the Saint of the Night.
After the flesh-forged magic circle sacrificed half a million residents of the fashionable city, huge power was injected into her body through a special ritual, catalyzing the night god in her body.
As a powerful ancient emperor of Blue Star, Ye Shen ruled the Fertile Crescent for tens of thousands of years. It was not until the arrival of the Emperor of Destruction that she fell sadly.
Thousands of years have passed, but the Saint of the Night still retains the divinity of the Night God. Because the divinity is immortal, as long as the descendants of the Night God remain in the world, her divinity will always be able to rely on this attachment. way to stay in the world.
If the divinity is nourished by a large amount of flesh, blood and soul, there may be a chance for the Night God to return from the spirit world, revive on the Blue Star, and rule the earth again.
It's a pity that the wisdom knight has done so many things, naturally not to become a hostile god.
He flew up into the air and thrust the sword of enlightenment in his hand into the chest of the Saint of the Night until it passed out of her snow-white back and finally penetrated into the dark inverted cross.
The revived Night God's divinity was thus captured by Gavin. The dark cross began to crazily swallow up Night God's divine power, and the darkness in his body became even deeper.
At his feet, Ye Qingzhou was already considering running away.
Gavin, the wise knight, obviously has the cultivation of the peak martial saint. He is a peerless strongman who has reached the ninth level of heaven. He is only one step away from becoming a god.
And he was about to take this step.
Ye Qingzhou came to trouble the Yuanxue Society, but he had no intention of throwing his life and blood for Fran. No matter how many people died in the fashion capital, it had nothing to do with him.
However, a sudden change occurred!
Just when the Saint of the Night was reduced to a sacrifice and her divinity was about to be taken away by Gavin, the dark inverted cross suddenly cracked.
First there were small cracks, then the cracks continued to expand, and finally the whole thing shattered and exploded directly in the sky.
Gavin frowned: "I performed the sacrifice strictly according to the ritual, why did the sealing and seizure of divinity fail?"
Just when he was puzzled, the rampaging divinity broke through the shackles of the dark cross, and then turned into a torrent, heading straight for Ye Qingzhou.
In other words, it should be heading straight for the ruins behind him.
Ye Qingzhou dodged and watched with his own eyes as the torrent of divine energy penetrated into the ruins.
Rumble~
Several tons of gravel were blown up into the air, and Sophia stood up from the ground. Her bright eyes reflected the stars in the sky and the bright silver moon.
"After a long wait, I finally got the chance to be resurrected."
Sophia... no, she should be called Night God at this moment.
When Knight Gavin saw this, his face was very gloomy. He immediately understood the key point: "You left two divinities, relying on the inheritance of blood, planning for thousands of years, just waiting for this moment to come. It’s a good plan.”
"This is also thanks to Qingdi, who allowed me to cast my gaze to the other side of the river of time and glimpse my destiny."
"Impossible!"
Gavin clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Your fate has been locked by the Net of All Causes after your death. Why didn't the Net of All Causes warn me? Unless..."
Then Gavin Knight thought of the only possibility: "Variables, your fate, have been added to variables that are not controlled by the network of all causes!"
Ye Shen didn't answer, but he was more concerned about Ye Qingzhou.
Her plan was able to conceal the truth and bypass the lock of the All-Cause Net, and it was Ye Qingzhou who relied on it.
"You deserve to die!"
Gavin called upon the power of the Blood God. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Night God had just revived and her divine power had not yet been completely restored to kill her here.
"Tonight, you are all going to die!"
"You are the one who is going to die."
Boom~
A thunder palm descended from the sky, with the force of a mountain of thunder, breaking through the bloody sky and pressing down on Gavin.
"I, Zhang Xinwu, am going to take your life right here today!" (End of Chapter)
