On the mighty Liuyan River, a large ship was drifting along with the flow of the water. But the strange thing was, there wasn't a single person on the deck of this ship.
But the main hall of the ship was filled with experts.
Fifty percent of the experts who appeared here were Saint-level experts. There were a total of nine chairs in the main hall, placed in three different positions.
Linley, Barker, and Zhou Tong were seated side by side. The Grand Magus necromancer Zassler was standing behind the three of them, while Bebe was lying on Linley's lap.
Each side only had three chairs. With Zhou Tong present, there was naturally no place for Zassler to sit.
On the other side, Holy Emperor Heidens, Praetorian Osenno, and Fallen Leaf were seated side by side. On the side of the Cult of Shadows, Pope Affleck, Grand Elder O 'Casey, and the leader of the Fallen Angels, Cramerson, were seated.
Behind them was a Saint Angel and a Fallen Angel.
After the three sides were seated, the Holy Emperor and the Dark Pope swept their gazes past Zhou Tong, a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Naturally, they could tell that Zhou Tong was a Saint. In addition, they knew that Zhou Tong had been appointed by Linley as the Prime Magus of the Imperial Court. Such a young Grand Magus Saint had broken Linley's record. This was something they didn't dare imagine.
A genius like this should have belonged to them, but now, he was on Linley's side.
"So many geniuses have appeared, but why must they all become enemies with us?" The two Holy Emperors felt their hearts twist.
Linley was a genius, but in the end, he was on their opposing side. Kahn was a genius as well, but the result was the same.
However, as the various parties took their positions, the discussion soon began, but it didn't take long for the discussion to break down.
This was because both sides had enmity with each other, and both wished to uproot the other. How could there be any possibility of compromise?
"Watch your mouth!!" Towards the end of the discussion, Praetorian Osenno couldn't help but shout.
Linley's gaze turned cold, and instantly, a ray of violet light appeared in the middle of the hall. This ray of light was devilish to the extreme, and it scared Wu Sennuo so badly that he flew backwards. Wu Sennuo even used the two Saint level Angels behind him as shields.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
With two miserable screams, the two Saint Angels were simultaneously chopped in two by Linley, their corpses collapsing to the ground.
Osenno clutched at his bleeding chest, staring in shock at Linley, who was wielding Bloodviolet.
"Osenno, with your meager abilities, don't make a fuss in front of me. I don't even need to transform to kill a minor figure like you." Linley stared coldly at Osenno.
"Linley, what is the meaning of this?" The Holy Emperor, Heidens, shouted angrily.
At the same time, the other Saints, as well as the members of the Cult of Shadows, all stood up, staring at Linley, Zhou Tong, and the others.
"Since we've already shed all pretense of cordiality, there's no need to continue talking. Let's just kill them!" At this time, Zhou Tong, who had been watching the show without speaking, spoke up.
"Who do you think you are? You don't have the right to speak here." Heidens stared angrily at Zhou Tong.
He was afraid of Linley, but that didn't mean that he was afraid of Zhou Tong. As Heidens saw it, Zhou Tong was just someone who had recently reached the Saint-level. Even if he was a genius, he would at most be on par with Linley ten years ago.
"Words are hard to persuade. Damned ghosts, die!" Zhou Tong instantly attacked.
"Whoooosh!"
A terrifyingly low temperature suddenly appeared within the ship, and the entire ship was instantly frozen into ice crystals. Even the Saints of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows were instantly frozen to death.
Water-type forbidden-level spell – Absolute Zero!
Zhou Tong immediately threw out a forbidden-level spell. The terrifyingly low temperature instantly froze everyone on the ship, aside from Linley and his men. Even their souls were frozen and shattered by the terrifying temperature.
"This …" Linley, Barker, Zassler, and Bebe were all stunned.
They had all been prepared for a major battle, but their opponents had all been instantly frozen?
"Instant … instant casting of a forbidden-level spell?" Zassler, who was also a Grand Magus Saint, stared at Zhou Tong, stupefied. His gaze was as though he was looking at some sort of monster.
It was very simple for a Grand Magus Saint to instantly cast a spell of the eighth rank, but only the most powerful Grand Magus Saints could instantly cast a spell of the ninth rank. He had never heard of a Grand Magus Saint who could instantly cast a forbidden-level spell.
"You … you haven't already become a Deity, have you?!" Zassler was somewhat stunned.
"How can that be? If I had become a Deity, I would've attacked the Radiant Church's Sacred Isle long ago. "Zhou Tong shook his head.
"What astonishing control!!" Linley was shocked as well. He was a magus, and very close to becoming a Grand Magus Saint. Naturally, given his power, he could tell how terrifying Zhou Tong's attack was.
It definitely wasn't just an instant-cast forbidden-level spell; it was also an extremely terrifying level of control.
Absolute Zero had always been a forbidden-level spell with an extremely large area of effect, but in Zhou Tong's hands, the area of effect had been reduced to a very small area. More importantly, the power of the forbidden-level spell hadn't been reduced at all. In fact, it had been stacked together within a small area of effect, causing the power of this attack to exceed that of a single-target forbidden-level spell.
But this wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the compressed forbidden-level spell hadn't affected anyone at all. Such precise control had completely surpassed Linley's expectations.
"Most likely, even Desri, a Prime Saint, wouldn't be able to control a forbidden-level spell as easily as he does. This shouldn't be something that can be explained by a simple understanding of the Elemental Laws. Kahn is most likely about to become a Deity? "Linley couldn't help but have this thought.
"Kahn, you …" Barker opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know what to say.
In this battle, he had been prepared to transform and was about to attack, but his opponents had died. All of them had died …
"What a powerful forbidden-level spell. Kahn, your comprehension of the Elemental Laws of Water has reached such a deep level? Can it be that your comprehension of the Elemental Laws of Water has reached the level of a Deity? "Bebe's little eyes were wide open, and he stared at Zhou Tong as though he were looking at a freak.
"The Deity level? It's still too early. I'm still quite a distance away from the Deity level." Zhou Tong shook his head slightly.
Forbidden-Level spells were a burden, even to a Grand Magus Saint. An ordinary Grand Magus Saint would only be able to use forbidden-level spells once or twice a day. Even a Prime Saint would be able to use three forbidden-level spells at most.
To be able to instant-cast a forbidden-level spell and control it with such precision was something only a Deity could do.
But Zhou Tong was an exception. Because he was a Quadruple Soul Mutate, the power of his soul had long ago surpassed that of most Demigods. With such a terrifyingly powerful soul, using forbidden-level spells was as easy as lifting a finger.
Thus, not only was he able to instant-cast a forbidden-level spell, he was also able to easily control the area of effect of the forbidden-level spell, and he was also able to precisely control the area of effect of the forbidden-level spell.
