Chapter 131

Xuan Ye had a bad feeling about this. Just as he was wondering how to deal with it, Xuan Yuan beside him let out a long roar. His clear and loud roar pierced through the sky, forming a sharp contrast with his bell-like smile. The two voices entangled in the air, and neither could suppress the other. Xuan Yuan stared at the silver-moon girl on the mountain with a solemn expression. Golden Imperial Dou Qi seeped out of his body, and under the effect of the surging divine power, his roar gained a slight upper hand. Under the effect of Xuan Yuan's roar, the people in the Holy Hall immediately calmed down. Their counterattack was interrupted by the other party. The silver-moon girl's laughter came to an abrupt stop. She smiled sweetly at Xuan Yuan and said, "Your Excellency is indeed powerful! I really admire you. My name is Moon Prince. I hope you remember my name, and when you get to hell, don't tell on me! Let me introduce the people on my left and right to you. So that you can die knowing the truth. " As she spoke, she pointed to the strange man beside her, who was more than two meters tall, and said, "This is the Dragonoid King, who is ranked second among the 12 Heavenly Kings. I presume you have not heard of the Dragonoid race. The Dragonoid race is the strongest race among the Beastmen, and the Dragonoid King can be said to be the king of the entire Beastmen. He has the blood of dragons, and his body is strong and his attacks are sharp. Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, I think he will be a formidable opponent for you. You must have a good time later. "

The Dragonoid King glared at Xuan Yuan disdainfully, and his gaze shot out like a bolt of lightning, meeting Xuan Yuan's gaze, not giving way in the slightest. The Dragonoid King's entire body was wrapped in black scales. Apart from his human-like figure, he looked like a wild beast in every other part. His four limbs had sharp claws, and he had a thick tail that was about a meter long on his back. Strong muscles bulged under the scales on his body. Every single movement of his would create a tremendous might. Seeing the Dragonoid King's appearance, Xuan Yuan could not help but feel a chill in his heart. That demoness had said that they had 12 Heavenly Kings. If every one of them had such power, perhaps the Holy Hall would be completely annihilated. He had used some of his power to destroy the Winged Ones, and he was working hard to recover it. Murderous intent shot through Xuan Yuan's heart. He just wanted to kill all these creatures in front of him.

Xuan Ye and Xuan Yuan's feelings were different. He clearly understood that the reason the enemy hadn't launched an attack immediately and had instead displayed their strength was because they wanted to overwhelm them mentally. First, they seized the hearts of the Holy Hall, and then annihilated them with a thunderous blow. He sneered inwardly. The Vatican had been able to stand on the continent for a thousand years. Was it really that easy to deal with? Even if the entire army was annihilated, with them, Moon, Holy. As long as the White Priest behind me completes his incantation, I will be able to switch from defense to offense. Therefore, Xuan Ye did not refute the Moon Queen's words, and allowed her to continue.

The Moon Queen stood beside the Dragonoid King. Her petite figure appeared even more slender. She turned to the burly dwarf on the other side and smiled, "This is our powerful Dwarf King, ranked third among the 12 Heavenly Kings. As for the Winged Ones, who were injured by the presiding judge, he is ranked fourth. You must have never thought that the supposedly peace-loving dwarves and Winged Ones would be our people. Actually, they were just as the rumors said, but now they have completely thrown themselves into the arms of the Lord God of the Underworld. This is the choice they should make. I think you must be very surprised right now. Unfortunately, it's too late for you to know. "

Xuan Ye snorted, "That's right. We are very surprised. We did not expect that there would be so many dark forces in the Holy Hall's jurisdiction. However, your good days are coming to an end. As long as we can get out of here today, you will never have a foothold on the continent again. Let me give you some surprises. Betray the glory of God, I will take back your life. Betray the dignity of God, I will take back your soul. Betray the faith of God, I will take back your right to live. The power of God! Ascend. The great God will use my hand to punish those sinful beings who blaspheme the God. — God's Judgment. "His chanting speed was extremely fast. Due to the support of the six White Priests with profound magic power, this level-8 Holy Light offensive spell was completed very quickly. The golden God's Wrath floated out from behind Xuan Ye and shone brightly. Under the illumination of the holy power, all the members of the Holy Hall felt their spirits lifted.

The six White Priests surrounded Xuan Ye at lightning speed, chanting the incantation loudly. White holy light enveloped Xuan Ye's body, and the golden light shot up into the sky. Under the illumination of the light, the dark clouds in the sky underwent a huge change. They turned into a pale golden cloud of light, and the originally dark land immediately lit up. With the six White-robed High Priests as the apex, a huge white hexagram appeared on the ground in an instant. Xuan Ye stood in the center of the hexagram. He raised the Divine God's Fury up high and looked disdainfully at the Moon Prince, whose expression had changed drastically. He pointed the Divine God's Fury forward, and the light cloud in the sky immediately unleashed a golden lightning bolt. It brought with it an unusual surge of Holy Power, and it struck the mountaintop where the Moon Prince and the others were.

The Moon Prince had already realized that something was wrong when Xuan Ye started chanting the incantation. This level-8 light magic brought great pressure to the Dark Magicians. He immediately ordered all the races to attack the members of the Holy Hall. At the same time, he ordered the Dark Ice King, who was ranked sixth among the Twelve Heavenly Kings, and the Dark Devil King, who was ranked eleventh, to use dark magic to fight against Xuan Ye.

If Dumb was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the Dark Devil. He was the Dark Magician who led his subordinates to attack the headquarters of the Continental Union of Magicians in the Light Province. The Dark Ice King's attire was similar to the Dark Devil's, except that the Dark Magician's hat had a blue icicle symbol. Each of them was followed by dozens of Dark Magicians. Once they received the Moon Prince's order, they quickly chanted. The dark forces actually lacked Magicians the most. Although the dark forces had developed to more than 100,000 people after close to a thousand years of recuperation, most of these people were foreign races that were not suited to cultivating magic. Hence, magic had always been their weakness.

Tens of thousands of foreign race soldiers from more than 10 races charged down almost as soon as the light cloud formed. They headed straight for the Holy Knights and Nephilic Judges in the center of the valley. The clergy of the Holy Hall used their well-trained advantage at this moment. Under the leadership of the Nephilic Judges, they formed a solid line of defense to protect Xuan Ye who was in the center of the formation. They all knew that only the Lord Red Robe could unleash his most powerful light magic to eliminate these heretics. Only then would there be hope of survival. Xuan Yuan, Ba Bylon, Ba Bui, and four Holy Nephilic Judges formed a solid line of defense. Once there was a gap in their defense, they would definitely rush over in time and defeat the enemy. Although the dark forces had an absolute advantage in numbers, it was difficult for them to break through the Holy Hall's defense. Whenever a Holy Knight or Nephilic Judge was injured, their comrades behind them would immediately take their place so that the injured could dress their wounds in the shortest time possible. This method of defending against the enemy's attacks was developed by the Holy Knights after hundreds of years of practice. It was very practical in situations where they were outnumbered. They were known as the Dancing Holy Knights. With this method, although they were still at an obvious disadvantage in numbers, they were able to kill a large number of enemies. The more than 10 races of the dark forces were not easy to deal with either. Among them were the vicious and cruel Dark Devilmen. Every Dark Devilman required at least three Holy Knights to defend against them. If not for the support of the Nephilic Judges and the fact that the Dark Devilmen were few in number, the Holy Hall's defense would have collapsed long ago. Apart from the Dark Devilmen, the Dragonmen under the Draconian King were the most terrifying. They had the same tough bodies as the Dark Devilmen, but they were slightly weaker in terms of attack power. However, they were still able to cause a lot of trouble for the Holy Hall. The dwarfs' attacks were unexpectedly strong. Although they could not compare to the Dark Devilmen and Dragonmen, they had a huge advantage in terms of numbers. When they wielded their broad-bladed battle axes, almost no Holy Knight could withstand them head-on. The Dark Devilmen, Dragonmen, and dwarfs formed the main attacking force. Around them, there were various Beastmen supporting them from the side, forming a powerful force of impact. For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate, and the number of casualties kept increasing. This was the first time the clergy of the Holy Hall had fought against a different race. Although they were not afraid, they were not used to the other party's tactics. In an instant, the hundred people at the outermost perimeter were injured and retreated, replaced by those at the back.

Xuan Ye's God's Judgment finally erupted. The first bolt of lightning from the cloud of light accurately hit the mountain where the Moon King and the other leaders were. The moment before the lightning arrived, a layer of black barrier suddenly appeared. The defense formed by dozens of Dark Magicians barely managed to block the lightning from God's Judgment. However, Holy Light Magic had an additional effect on Dark Magic. Almost half of the low-leveled Dark Magicians were turned into ashes. However, the Moon King and a few Heavenly Kings who were skilled in martial arts took the opportunity to leave the mountain peak, and charged into the valley.

The Dark Ice King's magical prowess was very close to that of a Magister, while the Dark Devil King was slightly weaker. The two of them, together with dozens of Magicians, were a powerful force. However, it was a pity that their opponent was the youngest Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Xuan Ye. How could they withstand the combined power of Xuan Ye and six White Priests? When the second bolt of God's Judgment arrived, the Dark Ice King and the Dark Devil King knew that they couldn't hold out any longer. They immediately used the scrolls they had prepared to escape, while their remaining subordinates were turned into ashes by Xuan Ye's all-out attack. The Dark Faction's Magicians suffered a destructive blow even though they had the upper hand.

Xuan Ye unleashed his divine might as he raised his Holy Magic Power to the limit. Streaks of golden lightning struck the densest areas of the enemy. The first explosion would claim hundreds of dark race lives, turning them into specks of light and vanishing into the valley. However, there was a limit to one's magic power. Even with the combined power of Xuan Ye and the six White Priests, they could no longer hold out after the twenty-third bolt. The cloud of light gradually dispersed. Xuan Ye and the six White Priests sat weakly on the ground, trying their best to gather the light elements in the air in preparation for the next attack. The Judgement of God that they had used with all their might had brought about glorious results. Not only did this grade-eight spell eliminate all the dark mages apart from the Dark Ice King and the Dark Devil King, but it also took close to three thousand lives from the powerful foreign races. This was the true power of a light archmage. With the aid of Divine Judgment, the Holy Hall's people were able to catch their breath and defend a bit more easily.

At the same time that Xuan Ye's Divine Judgment was wreaking havoc, the dark races also launched a frenzied attack on the clergy. Apart from the Dark Ice King, the Dark Devil King, the Winged Ruler, and the Moon Monarch, the other eight of the Twelve Heavenly Kings were all participating in the battle. Relying on their powerful strength, they forcefully stopped the Holy Hall's assault team led by Xuan Yuan. Although the Dragonborn King's strength was inferior to Xuan Yuan's, he managed to fight Xuan Yuan to a draw with his abnormally strong physique. Meanwhile, Ba Bylon was only able to fight the Dwarf King to a draw. However, the other six Dark Heavenly Kings were not so easy to deal with. The Silver Lady's enchanting pink combat energy destroyed a Light Inquisitor in just a few moves. Cat Queen Mimi, who was ranked last, also injured two Light Inquisitors with her extraordinary speed. For a moment, the two sides were evenly matched. However, without the help of the assault team, the Holy Paladins and Judges who were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers were in a precarious situation. In a short period of time, the original 1,200 people were reduced to just eight people, and their line of defense was steadily losing ground. They were on the verge of collapsing. The Dancing Holy Paladins' tactics also lost their agility due to the reduction in numbers. The dark forces still had more than 8,000 people, which was more than ten times the number of the Holy Hall's clergy. The powerful Dark Demons, Dragonborn, and Dwarfs did not suffer many casualties in the battle. Those who were injured in the God's Judgment were mostly the weaker Beastmen.

The Moon Queen watched coldly from the shadows. Although she knew that victory would definitely belong to her side, she did not expect to suffer such great losses. She could not help but feel resentful. She raised her hand and released a black ball-shaped object. The black ball glided in a strange arc in the air. When it rose to the highest point in the sky, it exploded with an intense purplish-black light. This was the signal for an all-out attack. The Winged Ruler, who had rested for half a day, had basically recovered his strength. He led the remaining 400 Winged Ones and flew high into the air, charging toward the Holy Hall's crowd from the sky. These were the elites of the Winged Ones. Their sudden participation instantly sped up the clergy's retreat. The attacks from the sky, coupled with the powerful attacks from the ground, caused the situation to become one-sided.

Xuan Ye had already recovered some of his magic power, but he could not help but be shaken when he saw this scene. He shouted and released the magic power he had recovered in the form of God's Blessing. He healed the clergy's injuries and strengthened their combat strength. However, this was just like drinking poison to quench thirst. He knew very well that the fate of failure was inevitable. Xuan Ye sighed sorrowfully. Did the heavens want me to die?

Just as the Holy Hall's clergy were facing a crisis of life and death, a ball of golden light slowly rose from the Holy Hall's ranks. The golden light grew stronger with every inch it rose. The surging divine power immediately boosted the morale of the less than 500 clergy, and the attack speed of the dark races slowed down. Xuan Ye was shocked. He fixed his eyes on the golden light, and his body suddenly trembled. Tears flowed from his eyes. This was because the rising golden light was his father-in-law, Na Yen. Na Yan floated in midair. Contrasted by the golden rays of light, she looked very holy.

"No! Father-in-law, don't — "Xuan Ye screamed. Of course, he knew what Na Yen was doing. This was the last resort of an advanced priest of the Holy Hall! Na Yen's body continued to rise, and a kind smile appeared on his face. In terms of Holy Light magic, he was even more powerful than Xuan Ye. In order to maintain a glimmer of hope, he resolutely chose to burn himself. Yes, he burned himself, using the flames of light to burn his own body. This was a forbidden spell in the Holy Hall. Only those who had reached the level of a White Robe Priest or above could learn it. The most special feature of this spell was that the caster had to give up his own body and turn all his potential and spiritual energy into a holy attack. For a powerful mage like Na Yen to cast this spell, its power was definitely close to that of a forbidden spell in a short period of time. In order to help Xuan Ye escape, Na Yen resolutely gave up his own life.

Xuan Ye looked at Na Yen, who was still rising in the air, with tears streaming down his face. The kind words and smile of his father-in-law kept flashing in his mind. Na Yen's care for him was no less than that of Pope. After living together for so many years, he was full of respect for his father-in-law. It was all his fault. He didn't listen to Na Yen and attacked rashly. That was why the people of the Holy Hall were in such a dangerous situation. At this time, in order to preserve a glimmer of hope for everyone, his father-in-law actually chose to use this terrible spell, Soul Release. If he used Soul Release, the caster would definitely die!

Na Yen's voice sounded in Xuan Ye's mind. "My child, don't be sad. Everyone will die eventually. I am already over 80 years old, and I have no regrets. However, you are still young, and the burden of the Holy Hall is on your shoulders. Later, I will blow up the exit of the valley. You must lead everyone out. One more person can escape, and the Holy Hall can be preserved. I will leave Nasha to you. Take good care of her. Tell Lord Pope that I am going to see the God of Heaven. Tell him to take care. "

"Father-in-law, don't!" Xuan Ye shouted again. However, he knew very well that at this time, no one could stop Na Yen from completing this spell. Just as he was filled with grief and indignation, he was shocked to find that six balls of golden light floated around him. Six voices sounded at the same time. "Take care, Lord Bishop. We are going." It turned out that the White Priest who had used up too much of his power had chosen the same method as Na Yen. In order for the remaining members of the Holy Hall to escape, they had decided to sacrifice themselves fearlessly.

At this moment, Xuan Ye suddenly calmed down. His heart was completely frozen. After observing the situation around him, he sat down with his legs crossed and focused on recovering his magic power. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to see his father-in-law die. More importantly, Na Yen had given up his life to bring him a chance to live. He had to make his father-in-law's dying wish come true. In order to successfully escape from this Valley of Annihilation, one must have sufficient strength. I, who had recovered from the God of Heaven's Wrath, gradually appeared. Under Xuan Ye's full activation, his magic power was rapidly recovering.

The golden light formed by the six White Priests caught up to Na Yen. Just like how they surrounded Xuan Ye, they formed a golden hexagram in the sky. Be it Na Yen or the six White Priests, their bodies were gradually disappearing. With every part of their bodies disappearing, the golden light became stronger. At this moment, a huge black dragon with its claws and fangs bared rose into the sky, crashing towards Na Yen's group of seven. It was the Black Devil King who had used his strongest level-7 dark magic to launch a sneak attack from the side. When he saw Na Yen flying into the sky, he already felt that something was wrong and immediately chanted a spell. With the amplification effect of the Netherworld Staff, he finally succeeded in using the Infernal Dragon's spell. The huge black dragon flapped its huge wings and suddenly crashed into the golden light. The six White Priests in the sky had completely disappeared. The divine energy that they had created was channeled into Na Yen's body through the hexagram magic formation that had been set up beforehand. Na Yan's blurry figure revealed a disdainful smile as he watched the Infernal Abyssal Dragon arrive. A deep golden divine light suddenly shot out, and the Infernal Abyssal Dragon violently trembled under the illumination of the golden light. Its body unexpectedly melted under the divine light.

Nayan loudly chanted the last incantation of his life: "With my soul as the price, O great God of the Heavenly Realm! Please allow me to use your forbidden energy. " Time seemed to have stopped the moment the incantation was completed. Whether it was the few remaining clergymen in the Holy Hall or the aliens, they all stopped and looked at the golden light in the sky in astonishment. Na Yen's body finally disappeared completely. The golden light gradually fused, and a figure formed by energy appeared. The figure was a handsome young man in the form of an angel. There was a pair of golden wings gently flapping behind him. Among the people present, only Xuan Yuan could recognize that this was what Na Yen looked like when he was young. He had known Na Yen for many years, and now that he saw him give up his life for the Holy Hall, even the strong Xuan Yuan could not help but shed two lines of tears. The golden angel in the sky slowly put his palms together, and his eyes shone with a golden light. Two solid golden lights flashed. Amidst the screams, the Black Devil King's body was turned into ashes by the attack filled with holy aura. The Dragonoid King roared angrily and slashed at Xuan Yuan with all his might. He shouted, "Don't panic. Don't care about that bastard up there. Kill everyone down there first." Under his command, the dark aliens launched a powerful attack again. There were less than 500 clergymen left, and they would not be able to hold on for much longer.

The golden angel in the sky suddenly separated his palms, and a clearly visible golden energy belt spread out. With a loud bang, a chasm appeared on the ground, and hundreds of aliens were turned into ashes by the enormous holy energy. The three-meter-deep turbulence also gave the clergymen a chance to catch their breath. Just as Na Yen, who had transformed into a golden angel, was about to attack again, something strange happened. A black crescent moon appeared out of nowhere and suddenly struck at his waist. It formed a sharp contrast with the golden divine light released by Na Yen. This attack was much more powerful than the Infernal Dragon that the Black Devil King had released. The thick dark energy was so evil. The Moon Queen of the Twelve Heavenly Kings had finally made her move.

Facing such a powerful attack, Na Yen could not be bothered to attack the aliens on the ground anymore. He made a strange gesture with both hands, and a golden symbol flew out of his hands to meet the black crescent moon. The moment the black crescent moon collided with the golden symbol, several beams of black light were suddenly emitted from Xuanyue's body, slightly weakening the golden symbol's energy. Two extremely powerful energies suddenly collided, and a huge shockwave erupted in the air. The powerful energy directly impacted the mountains around the valley, causing a loud bang. Some of the thinner mountain peaks were completely flattened. The Moon Queen's figure appeared in the air. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down at lightning speed. She had already been severely injured in the battle with the angel that Na Yen had transformed into.

The golden angel's light had clearly dimmed a lot. He no longer had any excess energy to destroy the dark forces under his feet. A helpless smile appeared on Na Yen's face. He spread his hands apart, and another beam of energy blasted down. It surrounded the clergy's defensive perimeter and doubled the size of the fishing port. Now, only the Winged Ones in the air and the aliens at the entrance of the valley could directly attack the Holy Hall's Holy Paladins and Nephilic Judges. The golden angel that Na Yen had transformed into shouted, "All members of the Holy Hall, prepare to retreat." With that, he smiled and glanced at Xuan Ye, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. He casually waved a beam of golden light toward Xuan Ye's body. Then, he charged toward the sealed entrance of the Valley of Ruin with an indomitable will. The golden figure left a brilliant trail of flames in the air, surrounded by layers of purple flames, and charged forward with an indomitable will. The golden-purple flames were Na Yen's last flame of life.

At the same time as Na Yen made his move, Xuan Yuan also erupted. He instantly raised his Divine Douqi to the limit, and a huge golden wave appeared again. Under the abundant divine power, the Dragon Ruler was forced to retreat, blood spurting out of his mouth. Xuan Yuan did not stop. He slapped at the remaining seven Heavenly Kings at lightning speed, and the other Nephilic Judges forced their enemies to retreat. The Sex King and Cat King, who were the weakest among them, were heavily injured. They spurted out blood and temporarily lost the ability to attack. At this time, there were only seven Nephilic Judges left in the Holy Hall.

The golden angel that Na Yen had transformed into disappeared into the huge rock that sealed the entrance of the valley. The ground of the Valley of Ruin suddenly shook. "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! "Explosions rang out one after another, and the many huge rocks that sealed the entrance of the valley turned into ashes. Smoke rose. With the last attack of his life, Na Yen not only opened a path of life, but also led the smoke brought by the explosion into the Valley of Ruin, blurring everyone's vision.

Xuan Yuan shouted, "All Divine Servants, listen up! Charge out together!" As he shouted, his power, which was close to that of a Sword Saint, was displayed to the fullest. Dozens of Mutated Tribe members were killed by his Divine Impetus, and an opening appeared in the encirclement behind them. Xuan Yuan took the lead and led the remaining Divine Servants toward the entrance of the valley. Although there was smoke, the Divine Servants still remembered the direction of the valley entrance. Their desire to survive, which they had never felt before, urged them to exert their power to the limit. They turned into a sharp torrent and rushed toward the entrance of the valley with all their might.

At this time, with the help of the last bit of energy that Na Yen released, Xuan Ye had recovered most of his power. He did not have time to grieve for Na Yen's death. He flew up, and a golden light suddenly shone. Under the effect of the Divine Wrath, many of the Winged Tribe members who were blinded in the air were instantly shot down. When the smoke gradually dissipated, the Winged Tribe King could clearly see Xuan Ye's bloodshot eyes. His heart trembled, and he could not help but retreat. The attacks on the Divine Servants' heads were greatly weakened.

The Moon Queen landed on the ground and staggered. She spat out another mouthful of blood. The pain of the Divine Energy entering her body caused her beautiful face to contort. Sensing that the people of the Holy Hall were rushing toward the exit, a sense of fear rose in her heart. Under such circumstances, the Holy Hall still had a chance of survival. She was shocked by the tenacity of the Holy Hall. She shouted in a shrill voice, "Charge! Block the exit! Don't let a single person escape!" Na Yen had gathered six White Priests and his own Divine Power to deal a heavy blow to the Moon Queen. For the time being, she would not be able to do anything. The Moon Queen did not make a move earlier because she wanted to preserve her strength so that she could deal with the people of the Holy Hall who managed to escape in the end. However, she could only watch as the Divine Servants charged toward the exit under the lead of Xuan Yuan and Xuan Ye. In order to preserve more lives, the four Holy Judges of the Holy Hall were at the back of the group. They burned up all of their potential and resolutely resisted the pursuit of several Heavenly Kings of Darkness.

When the Divine Servants reached the exit of the valley, there were only about two hundred of them left. The one thousand Holy Knights were almost all dead. With the help of Xuan Ye's magic, the four Holy Judges blocked the attacks of the Heavenly Kings at the back, allowing the people of the Holy Hall to successfully charge out of the valley. One of the Holy Judges shouted, "Priestess, please leave first. We'll hold them off."
