On the surface of the sea, Yan Huang was wearing the Starry Sky Crown and a Sacred Equipment set. His body flew through the waves at high speed.
A large group of sea monsters followed behind him. Yan Huang suddenly turned around and waved the long sword in his hand!
A storm of light blades whizzed out, and the group of sea monsters behind him was cut into pieces. Blood dyed the sea red.
Only a few SS-grade and quasi-SSS grade sea monsters followed him with wounds all over their bodies. Bajo and the others, who had been waiting on the shore, raised their hands again. A white light fell from the clouds and vaporized them completely.
Bajo looked at Yan Huang in front of him and nodded with a smile. "Yan Huang, your strength has finally improved by leaps and bounds. Not only has your combat ability greatly improved, but you are also about to enter the Comet Stage."
"Yes, I am at the peak of Meteor Stage Nine."
"Breaking through requires luck. It is definitely not that easy to advance from the Meteor Stage to the Comet Stage. Many people are even stuck at this step for the rest of their lives. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Your strength will not improve in the short term unless you get the Holy Light Stone."
"Holy Light Stone? What is that?"
"Look at the gem in the middle of the Starry Sky Crown. That stone was actually inlaid later. Originally, a Holy Light Stone was inlaid there, formed by absorbing the starlight of the sun and moon. Only by inlaying the Holy Light Stone there can the Starry Sky Crown be considered complete. It can provide the user with a huge amount of Star Power. The first Holy Son, Kite, and I broke through to the Comet Stage because of the complete Starry Sky Crown."
"What about the Holy Light Stone?"
Bajo thought for a moment. "When I broke through, the Holy Light Stone's power was exhausted. It automatically left the Starry Sky Crown and disappeared into the sky. At that time, I remember that it ran in the direction of the moon. That stone needs 400 years to complete absorbing power. I have been to the moon in recent years, but I did not find it. It might have been taken away by someone else."
"Someone else? Would someone go to the moon to train? "
"Of course. Warriors in the Wargod Stage can actually train on the moon. However, it is difficult to reach the moon. You have to be at least in the Meteor Stage."
"Could it be that the Holy Light Stone is still on the moon?" Yan Huang asked.
"No, the Holy Light Stone is on the moon, and it will accumulate energy in 400 years. When that time comes, it will naturally emit light, and it will be very conspicuous on the moon. Before that, it was just an ordinary stone. I went to the moon and couldn't find it. The only possibility is that it was taken by someone else, but I don't know who it is."
Ba Qiao said with some regret, "It's a pity. If you had the Holy Light Stone, the Starry Sky Crown would be complete. The complete Starry Sky Crown would be a top-grade auxiliary type sacred tool. It could absorb the power of the stars for you to use. At that time, you would almost have an immortal body. Moreover, your strength would increase by leaps and bounds. You might even advance to the Comet level. If that happened, even this old man wouldn't be your opponent."
Yan Huang fell silent. If that was the case, then the Holy Light Stone must have been extremely important. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found.
Ba Qiao comforted him, "Let's not talk about this anymore. As long as you have the opportunity, you might be able to find it. Moreover, with our current strength, even if we don't have the Holy Light Stone, the East Expedition won't be a problem."
Yan Huang nodded, "I think it's about time. Those Huaxia mobs have already gathered in the Northwest Base City. Let's destroy them with lightning speed!"
Ba Qiao gathered all the Ascetics and spoke loudly to them.
"Everyone, our Pope has been here for a week. The results of his training are obvious to all. In order to fight for a favorable position for our sect before the True God troops arrive, our East Expedition plan is imperative. We have been here for hundreds of years, and the people in the outside world have almost forgotten about us. Therefore, it's fine if we don't do anything. Once we do, we will shake the world!"
The Ascetics all looked at Yan Huang with solemn expressions. Their eyes were clear and bright, like the stars in the night sky.
Looking at the 120 powerful ascetics, Yan Huang felt waves of excitement surge through him.
His strength had improved again. With the help of this group of Ascetics, who in the world could stop them?
"Seniors, I, Yan Huang, won't say much. After the True God troops arrive and the Church unifies the world, we will go to the stars to preach!"
The Ascetics didn't say anything heroic. They all put their hands on their chests, showing their determination to win.
"Let's go!"
At Yan Huang's command, he was the first to rise into the air.
Behind him, the Ascetics all rose into the sky. More than 100 Star Realm experts moved at the same time, stirring up the clouds and rushing toward the continent!
*****
The next day, Yan Huang announced in Constantinople that Ba Qiao would be the Inquisitor of the Holy See and that the East Expedition would begin the next day.
He announced in an online video that anyone who was willing to follow the Church would be protected in the future. He also talked about the conflict between the East and the West Continents, deliberately sowing discord between ethnic groups.
Yan Huang's words were supported by the leaders of the European Union, Russia, and the United States. They also announced that they would send experts to follow Yan Huang's Church on the East Expedition.
The leaders of these countries were followers of the Church to begin with. Plus, they had conflicts with Huaxia, so they joined the East Expedition without hesitation.
Many people from the Church also followed Yan Huang. Together with the fighters from all over the world, they quickly formed an East Expedition army of 30,000 people.
The armies of various countries and regions gathered in Constantinople. The scale was so vast that it shocked the world.
It wasn't because of the number of people, but because of the strength of the participants.
Among the 30,000 people, there were 20,000 advanced wargods, 10,000 quasi Star Realm experts, and Yan Huang and 120 Ascetics. Their strength was unparalleled.
Facing the pressure of the Church, the Chinese fighters also united like never before.
Fighters of advanced wargods and above all left their homes and headed to the Northwest headquarter city to prepare for battle.
The Chinese government also made a lot of preparations. All kinds of new weapons were shipped to the Northwest to strengthen the defenses of the Northwest headquarter city.
The defenses of the Northwest headquarter city were now even stronger than the capital.
Of course, people also knew that in a battle between fighters, modern weapons weren't very useful. Firstly, the people using the weapons were too weak. The fighters didn't have to charge head-on. They could easily break through the defenses of the Northwest head-on.
However, the atmosphere of this war stirred up the blood of the people of the country.
The fighters joined the battle. Normal people didn't even stay idle. They donated money and goods and walked on the streets to oppose the Church's invasion.
People even threatened the Church, the European Union, Russia, and the United States. If their East Expedition failed, they would face the wrath of Huaxia.
However, the other side wasn't moved. From their perspective, the East Expedition was a sure win.
The fighters on the Heavenly Star Ranking kept each other in check. Who could stop the 120 Ascetics?
If the Heavenly Star Ranking of Huaxia dared to disregard the rules and attack, then the Heavenly Star Ranking of Russia, the European Union, and the United States wouldn't just stand by and watch.
It was just before the New Year. In a week, it would be the New Year in Huaxia.
First, Yan Huang gave a televised speech on this day.
"Our Church has been established for nearly a thousand years. More than half of the world's believers are believers. However, the Huaxian Lin Zhen has repeatedly provoked our Church under the instructions of the higher-ups of Huaxia. He has also carried out many conspiracies. Not only did he kill or injure a large number of our faithful believers, but he also encouraged the Huaxians to withdraw from the Church.
"The higher-ups of Huaxia and Lin Zhen colluded in this matter. The so-called 60 million to build the dam was a conspiracy. It was fake and deceived the people. The people of Huaxia have been deceived, but it doesn't mean that the people of the world have been deceived!
"The doctrine of the Church is to save the world. I, Yan Huang Lucifer, am the Pope of the Church. Of course, I can't just sit by and watch such a thing happen under my nose.
"In order to save the deceived people of Huaxia and overthrow the corrupt higher-ups of Huaxia, the Church has decided to launch an East Expedition against Huaxia.
"I'm here to warn the higher-ups of Huaxia that if you dare to collude with Lin Zhen, that warmonger, then you must have the courage to bear the wrath of our Church. I'll give you three hours to go overseas. Otherwise, when the Church's army arrives, no one will be able to resist!"
Yan Huang's words stirred up the blood of many of the Church's diehards. They even began to create chaos in Huaxia.
Huaxia had long been prepared for this kind of thing. The City Defense Army and the Police Force cooperated and killed a large number of diehards.
When the country was in danger, no one was in the mood to pity these believers.
Originally, there were still some believers of the Church in Huaxia. After this attack, they were completely wiped out.
The higher-ups of Huaxia scoffed at Yan Huang's warning and made a tough response.
First of all, the ruins of the Church of St. Sophia in Ice City had been changed into a square named after Lin Zhen. They even sculpted a bronze statue of Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's great achievements made him known as a national hero.
The higher-ups of Huaxia also made a passionate speech on TV, calling on the whole country to resist the attack of the Church. Huaxia would never yield to any person or force.
As for Yan Huang's attempt to distort the truth and slander Lin Zhen, it was quickly exposed. Lin Zhen's donation was based on solid evidence. It was not something that could be successfully slandered by just throwing some dirty water.
However, everyone also knew that this was just an excuse that Yan Huang had found. If he did not have this excuse, he would have other excuses. As long as he wanted to conquer the East, he would definitely find an excuse.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The Church's army finally moved. They took aircraft and headed towards the Northwest Base City.
Constantinople was not too far away from the Northwest Base City. The aircraft could reach it in an hour.
Warriors from all over the country leaned against the North City Wall in the Northwest Base City. They looked at the sky and waited for the arrival of the Church's army.
The oppressive atmosphere before the war made everyone's breathing become heavier. This war was not going to be easy. Even those who liked to joke were not in the mood to joke.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The shrill air defense alarm sounded. On the military's radar, the Church's army had appeared.
