Chapter 342: Misunderstanding? I'll be damned! Divine Descent, Divine Command Technique! (Part 1)
June 30, 2024
The Light High Priest inherently didn't trust.
But upon further thought, there was indeed a possibility of this.
That 'shadowy figure', if not the Dark Holy Order, undoubtedly intended for both sides to engage in a grand battle.
So, if he rashly took action and fought the Dark Holy Order...
Wouldn't that be falling right into the trap of the shadowy figure?
But then, what if the shadowy figure was indeed the Dark Holy Order?
And if he didn't fight back, how could he explain to his subordinates?
As he pondered this, his face darkened as he transmitted his thoughts: "I trust you, but you've killed so many of my people, and you must give me, give my subordinates an explanation."
"Otherwise, how can I continue being the High Priest?"
The Dark High Priest: "..."
Damn!
This...
How am I supposed to handle this?
"It's simple," the Light High Priest responded calmly. "My church must also kill some of your people; otherwise, it would be unreasonable and illogical!"
"..."
The Dark High Priest's face turned green.
But he knew this wasn't something he had done!
There was a traitor within their ranks.
Damn it, who is the traitor?
Unknown!
The biggest issue now was that they must simultaneously deal with two matters: uncover the traitor and appease the Light Cathedral, or else they would face both internal and external troubles, and the Dark Holy Order would be in real trouble.
So...
They must handle both matters at once.
"One, I will personally supervise the entire battlefield, and if that 'traitor' dares to act again, I will definitely expose them."
"Two..."
"We can only stabilize the situation with the old Light High Priest, or else the Dark Holy Order is doomed!"
"Damn it!"
With this in mind, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"Okay, I agree."
"But... don't go too far!"
"Hmph!"
The Light High Priest snorted coldly, not elaborating further.
Actually... he was considering whether to simply let this matter go, regardless of whether the Dark Holy Order was involved or not. If they weren't, then the shadowy figure was clearly trying to harm the Dark Holy Order. In that case, he could seize the opportunity to annihilate the Dark Holy Order.
But upon further reflection, he felt it wasn't appropriate.
What if the mastermind behind this was targeting the Light Cathedral?
"..."
"Forget it, since he agreed, we'll use this opportunity to test his sincerity."
"If he truly means it, he won't deceive me. Otherwise... hmph!"
"!"
At that moment, the Dark High Priest ordered: "Hahaha, the scoundrels of the Light Cathedral can't hold on! Seventh Legion, charge!"
A large number of Dark Knights immediately charged forward...
The Light High Priest took a look and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
These were obviously here to die!
He ordered his subordinates to aim at these cannon fodder.
His subordinates obediently opened fire.
It seemed that everything was going according to plan.
But the outcome...
Was a big problem.
The power exceeded expectations, not only killing the cannon fodder but also taking the lives of many elite members of the Dark Holy Order. Once again, blood flowed like a river, but this time, it was the blood of the Dark Holy Order.
Light High Priest: "(⊙o⊙)..."
Dark High Priest: "⊙▽⊙“a?! Me... damn it?"
"Damn it, what do you mean?!"
"I... it's a misunderstanding, it's not our people! There's definitely something fishy going on here." The Light High Priest quickly explained: "Calm down!"
"How can I stay calm?"
"You're doing this on purpose!"
"Nonsense, if I was doing it on purpose, why would I wait until now? I could've taken action earlier! Think about it, it's obvious that there's someone within the Light Cathedral causing trouble!"
"Calm down, don't fall for the enemy's schemes!" The Light High Priest desperately tried to calm and reassure.
But the Dark High Priest's mind was still racing, his teeth grinding.
"..., alright!"
"I trust you!"
"But next..."
Before he could say more, a large number of Dark Holy Order's low-level cultivators, who had been killed by the Light Cathedral, already had red faces.
Their attacks weren't significant.
But for some reason, this strike killed a large number of Light Cathedral members!
Light High Priest: "What are you doing??"
"Calm down, it's not what it seems! Now, it's the Dark High Priest's turn to change his expression, urging the other to stay calm.
But the situation was already out of control.
Again and again.
A large number of deaths.
Who wouldn't be confused, who wouldn't be afraid? Who wouldn't suspect the other side?
Hold back?
Play along?! We're sincerely cooperating, but you're taking it too far!
How can we continue like this? Unconsciously, both sides began to 'increase their power'.
And as a result, the situation only became 'worse'.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, especially during such a crucial battle, if one didn't contribute while others did, they would die...
Who would dare to hold back?
Even though both sides' higher-ups felt there was a traitor, something was wrong, but at this moment, they couldn't stop it.
In this overwhelming situation, they could only grit their teeth and... self-preservation was already a great achievement.
It was at this moment that both sides' expressions changed, and then, the conflict began!
The agreed-upon act...
Turned into a direct peak confrontation!
Subsequently, both sides went all out!
The death toll kept rising...
The Dark High Priest and the Light High Priest's eyes turned red.
But as the highest leaders, they had to remain calm. The Light High Priest's heart was bleeding, but he still had to suppress his anger, transmitting: "Calm down, calm down!"
"It's all a misunderstanding, don't fall for the shadowy figure's schemes."
"Must remain calm, and think carefully."
"You listen to me, we must..."
The Dark High Priest's lips twitched. Seeing one of his favorite female believers being blasted to death, he immediately shouted in fury, "Screw you! Fck off!"
"Kill!"
At this moment, the Dark High Priest could no longer hold back.
Their strength was originally weaker than the Holy Cathedral's.
Going all out might still offer a chance of survival.
But if they continued to hold back, the Holy Cathedral would only kill more and more... What's the point of fighting then?
At this moment, the Dark High Priest didn't trust the Light High Priest at all. He even suspected that this was likely a setup by the other side to weaken their forces, and then take over the Dark Holy Order in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, how could this happen?
"Everyone, give it your all! Not a single Holy Cathedral scoundrel must be allowed to escape!"
"Kill!!!"
Rumbling!
With a single command, the Dark Holy Order instantly became even more frenzied.
Seeing this, the Light High Priest's face turned pale.
He was calmer than the Dark High Priest and knew that his people would never deliberately kill. There must be something wrong!
But...
What good would being calm do now?
Now that the Dark Holy Order was going all out, determined to kill more of their 'own people,' they wouldn't listen to his explanations. Should he continue to argue and let the strong within the church hold back, allowing a large number of their mid-to-lower and even upper echelons to be killed?
His calmness couldn't change anything.
Unless he immediately fled, leaving behind a trail of bodies and discarded armor.
Or...
Go all out to counterattack and repel the Dark Holy Order.
What should he choose?
"..."
"Damn it!"
The Light High Priest ground his teeth, "Kill!"
He chose to fight head-on!
What hidden hands, what plots?
Fck!
At this moment, there was no time to think about it.
Only by going all out and fighting to the end could they hope to drive back the Dark Holy Order! As for the aftermath...
We'll deal with it later!
There's no way that the hidden hand could be stronger than our Lord, or even threaten our Lord. If the plot is too deep and I can't handle it, I can always ask our Lord for a 'Divine Descent'!
I don't believe that any plot, no matter how powerful, could topple our Lord.
If our Lord can't be toppled, then the ultimate victor can only be us!
With this thought, the Light High Priest held nothing back, personally joining the battle and blasting one Dark Holy Order strongman after another.
Seeing this, how could the Dark High Priest hold back?
He immediately stepped forward, blocking the Light High Priest, and both sides began to exchange blows.
Others, seeing this, also 'erupted.'
An unprecedented large-scale war in the magical world thus erupted!
······
Buzz~!
Tianna quietly appeared beside Cao Man, who was watching the spectacle.
"6!"
Cao Man couldn't say anything else. At this moment, only one word could express his feelings.
"You really succeeded!"
"What else?"
Tianna clasped her hands and formed a mysterious seal.
Meanwhile, the blood quietly seeped into the ground and was 'absorbed' by an array that had been prepared in advance, continuously being transported to where Tianna was.
"Guard me."
Tianna took a deep breath, "I need to try cultivating a cultivation technique."
"..."
"Alright!"
Cao Man didn't refuse, immediately drawing his sword and remaining vigilant.
The battle continued.
The casualties on both sides grew more numerous.
Who could still talk about acting?
At this moment, almost everyone was fighting with bloodshot eyes, determined to wipe out the other side completely.
After all, light and darkness were inherently extreme opposites.
Meanwhile, Tianna activated the Blood Sea Indestructible Body technique, quietly refining the massive amount of blood and gradually converting it into 'blood water.'
At first, the process was very slow.
One drop, two drops...
Even after a full incense, there was only a small bowl.
But as Tianna became more proficient, the speed continuously increased, and it became faster and faster...
The battle also grew more intense.
In the short term, Tianna didn't have to worry about a lack of blood. After all, she had just begun her cultivation and didn't need to gather an endless sea of blood like Blood Extinction Birth.
As long as there was a 'blood pool,' it would be sufficient.
From the current situation, it seemed that even if everyone here died, and she refined all their blood into blood water, a small lake would be more than enough!
But...
Things couldn't always be that perfect.
As both sides suffered heavy losses, the two High Priests were already fighting with genuine fury, truly 'battling.' Holy, dark forbidden spells were cast without reservation, one after another!
One of those forbidden spells was deflected and happened to blast towards where Tianna and Cao Man were.
Cao Man immediately frowned.
"It seems..."
"We're about to be exposed."
He glanced at Tianna, who was still 'cultivating,' then sighed, raising his three-foot green blade.
This was a spirit-grade flying sword.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, it wasn't considered a particularly rare magical treasure.
But... this was the magical world.
"One sword, move a mountain!"
Boom!
He drew his sword, and the astonishing sword aura pierced the sky. Although he only had the strength of a Holy Knight, or so-called 'Sword Saint,' this one sword was no weaker than a Sword God's.
With one sword, the world changed color, and the space itself cracked.
The terrifying dark forbidden spell was directly split in two by this sword, cleaved into halves!
Then it exploded in mid-air, the shockwaves rippling, but Cao Man and Tianna were unharmed.
"You...!"
"It's actually you!"
In an instant, the Light and Dark Popes, along with the numerous high-ranking members of their respective factions, turned their eyes red with rage upon seeing the two individuals.
"Cao Man, you dare!" The Light Pope struck with increased ferocity, "And... as expected, it's all part of your Dark Holy Order's plan!!!"
Cao Man was a familiar figure to them.
After all, he was incredibly powerful, and the sword he wielded was exceptionally 'distinctive'.
Other swordsmen and knights who used swords typically wielded greatswords.
Some were as large as doors, while others were still significantly oversized. Only Cao Man's sword was as thin as a toothpick, yet his strength was astonishingly formidable, even to the point of being unignorable by Divine-level experts.
With such a distinctive feature, it was impossible not to recognize him.
And now, he was with the Dark Saintess Tianna, which was even more incriminating.
The Dark Pope was stunned, his anger causing him to shudder.
Damn!
This makes it seem like I'm the mastermind behind the scenes!
"This can't be!" he thought.
He quickly sent a mental message, "Weren't we supposed to work together to expose the mastermind? Now that we've found them, are you blaming me?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll kill her myself!"
The Dark Pope took action, intending to 'kill his own kin for the greater good'!
"Hmph, a fine move to abandon the pawn to save the king, using and discarding... Truly befitting of you, followers of the Dark Supreme Being. But do you think I'll believe you? You bastard."
"You dare to kill in front of me?" The Light Pope roared, intensifying his attack.
The Dark Pope was left stunned.
You want to kill to cover up the truth?
I'll protect you, what does this have to do with me? I'm the victim here!
This is...
Unbelievable!
The Dark Pope's face darkened, "If you don't believe me, you'll regret it!"
"Even if you speak, I won't believe you anymore. Regret? I'll regret believing you, die!" The Light Pope responded, attacking once more.
The Dark Pope could only passively endure.
But...
He managed to maintain a sliver of calm, "You say killing Tianna is covering up the truth, but what about Cao Man? This bastard must also be one of the masterminds; let's kill him together!"
The Light Pope slightly pondered before nodding in agreement.
"Good, we'll strike together, but... you need to make the first move!"
"I'll do it, you bastard!" The Dark Pope cursed, "Just now, my forbidden spell's aftermath forced them to reveal themselves, and you still suspect me of covering up the truth?"
The Light Pope's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Perhaps...
It really is like that?
Could I have wrongly accused him? But there was no time to consider that now; since they had already made their decision, it was time to act!
In an instant, amidst the chaos of the great battle, the clashing of blades, and the blood-curdling screams, the two Popes joined forces, attacking Tianna and Cao Man together.
"This is trouble!"
Cao Man's expression immediately turned grave.
These two Popes were among the top Divine-level experts in the entire magical world.
More importantly, they had 'Divine Artifacts'!
They were 'Crowns'.
These were granted by the Deities they worshipped, possessing unfathomable abilities and allowing them to borrow a portion of those Deities' powers.
At this moment, as they attacked together, the crowns on their heads glowed...
Clearly, they were holding nothing back, determined to deliver a fatal blow.
"How much longer do you need to cultivate?"
Looking at Tianna, who remained unmoved, Cao Man was stunned.
But...
She was sent back by the great Su Yan, and was said to carry a mission from Su Yan's master. He couldn't just run away, sell her out, and let her die here, could he?
"Sigh, here goes nothing!"
"I hope you have a backup plan."
"Otherwise, I'll have to contact Su Yan and the others."
"As for now..."
Boom, Boom!!!
One black, one white.
Two forbidden spells struck, far surpassing any previous ones. These forbidden spells could wipe out an entire country.
The power and range of these spells were terrifying.
Cao Man's expression grew serious, but he didn't retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, slowly raising his three-foot green blade.
Buzz...
Clang!
The sword's cry reverberated!
Powerful sword energy enveloped him, sweeping across the eight directions.
His aura rapidly intensified.
"Give me..."
"Break!!!
Boom!
At this moment, Cao Man broke through, entering the 'Sword God' realm!
Although not a true Deity, the power of a Divine-level expert far surpassed that of a Saint-level expert.
"I must survive first, no matter if the Deities notice me."
He swung his sword, unleashing the power of the Sword God without reservation.
At the Sword Saint level, he could already rival Divine-level experts, and now, having entered the Divine realm, although he had just broken through, his accumulated power as a pervert was profound.
"Fill the sea!"
Boom!
He slashed, and countless sword energies soared into the sky, like a sudden tidal wave filling the entire ocean.
Boom, Boom, Boom!!!
The infinite sword energies clashed with the two forbidden spells, and in an instant, howling winds swept through, dark clouds dispersed, space constantly cracked and re-formed, and countless members of both factions were 'blown away', some even bleeding from their seven apertures and dying on the spot.
Facing the two Popes, Cao Man didn't yield an inch, continuously swinging his sword, and...
"This...
"This is impossible!"
Everyone was shocked.
The Light Pope's face darkened, as Cao Man's strength exceeded their expectations, even surpassing their imagination.
"Old man, are you capable or not?"
"Are you slacking off?"
He cursed at the Dark High Priest.
Upon hearing this, the latter instantly became enraged, "You're talking about yourself, aren't you?"
"The esteemed Light High Priest, is this the extent of your power?
