"Your Holiness, this is bad!"
"Archbishop Cate is being hunted down. Two other bishops of our Radiant Church were killed!"
"They were ambushed by Cai Jing and the others! Cai Jing and the others are stronger than expected! "
An expert hurriedly sent a message to the Light Pope.
The Light Pope's expression changed drastically. "What about the experts of the Covenant of Darkness?"
"Yes, Your Holiness. Two nine-star princes of the Covenant of Darkness were killed. Only Prince Dracula managed to escape by using a forbidden technique."
The Light Pope's heart was burning with rage.
After losing two nine-star archbishops, the Radiant Church's strength had dropped significantly. Moreover, they had declared a holy war, yet they had lost their men in their own territory. How shameful!
"The Thousand Buddha Empire's experts made a move?"
"Your Holiness, they didn't make a move. They didn't fight in the Sanskrit City. The enemy should be guarding the Sanskrit City before they left and ambushed our men!"
The Light Pope took a deep breath. Many of their experts immediately headed to Archbishop Cate's current location. An hour later, they arrived at Archbishop Cate's location.
"Pfff! Pfff!"
Archbishop Cate coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. His face was pale, and there were many wounds on his body. Cai Jing and the others weren't holding back when they attacked him.
"Your Holiness, I … Sigh!"
Archbishop Cate let out a long sigh.
"Don't say anymore. It's good that you came back alive!"
"Hurry up and recover!"
The Light Pope patted Archbishop Cate's shoulder. A powerful holy light entered Archbishop Cate's body, and his injuries recovered slightly. He didn't look as scary as before.
"Thank you, Your Holiness!"
"Your Holiness, Cai Jing and the others are stronger than we expected! There's no problem with their numbers, but each of them is stronger than we expected! "
Archbishop Cate said with a solemn expression. "If they are so strong, I suspect that Qin Yang already has the strength of a perfected nine-star expert."
The Light Pope said, "It's not that easy to reach the perfected nine-star level. Don't worry too much! Even if Qin Yang is strong, he should only be a peak nine-star expert! "
Archbishop Cate sighed inwardly. Qin Yang wasn't a peak nine-star expert.
When he said this, he actually hoped that the Pope would ask for peace. There was nothing he could do if the Pope said so.
He couldn't possibly tell the Pope that he had already sided with Qin Yang and the others. They were much stronger than him!
It was fine to mention it slightly, but if he really did, Archbishop Cate knew that he would definitely die.
"Your Holiness, I'll go into seclusion to recover first!"
"Yes."
After Archbishop Cate left, the Pope quickly communicated with the Dark Chancellor. The two families were not far from each other, and Prince Dracula had only managed to escape with all his might.
His body was also riddled with wounds!
The Pope and the Chairman of the Dark Council did not suspect anything. It was normal for a late-stage nine-star expert to escape after using a forbidden technique and reaching the peak of the nine-star level.
Cai Jing's strength was at the peak of nine-star.
Originally, they thought that Cai Jing was only at the peak of the Nine-Star Realm and that he should be the only peak Nine-Star Realm expert. Now, they had a much clearer understanding of Cai Jing's strength.
"Pope, what should we do now? Cai Jing and the others have two nine-star peak experts!"
The Dark Chairman transmitted.
Twenty nine-star experts, and two of them were even at the peak of the nine-star level.
"We have to rope in the Thousand Island Empire. In addition, we might have to consider using the Boundary Stones!"
The Pope of Light had a grave expression.
They still had some Boundary Stones. Using the Boundary Stones could allow some perfect-stage eight-star experts to break through to the nine-star level. The Boundary Stones were their strategic resource.
They would not use them easily!
"Use the Boundary Stones?"
The Chairman of the Dark Council frowned slightly.
If they kept the Boundary Stones, they could ensure the long-term existence of their forces. Even if they lost a few nine-star experts, they could still replenish their forces. If they used up all the Boundary Stones, what would they do when this batch of experts died in one or two hundred years?
"Chairman of the Dark Council, the gods are likely to return. By then, it might not be so difficult for perfect-stage eight-star experts to break through to the nine-star level. The Boundary Stones will be less useful in the future."
"Are we going to let the gods return and see how miserable we are?"
The Pope transmitted his voice.
The Chairman of the Dark Council thought about it and felt that what the Pope said made sense.
There were various signs that indicated that the gods were indeed preparing to return! If they were fast, it would take two to three years. If they were slow, it would not take more than ten years!
"Pope, in principle, I agree. However, let's not use all the Boundary Stones first. If the ancient gods return, they might need the Boundary Stones. They are good stuff."
"Alright, let's use half of them!"
Soon, the Pope and the Chairman of the Dark Council bestowed the Boundary Stones. If they were lucky, theoretically, there would be more than ten nine-star experts on each side!
If they were lucky, there would be four or five.
If they were unlucky, there would be two or three.
If they were extremely unlucky, it was possible that none of them would appear!
Two days later, Qin Yang passed the cultivation technique to Archbishop Cate and Prince Dracula. They realized that the improved cultivation technique was much more powerful than the current one.
At most, they could reach the perfect-stage nine-star level.
Without much hesitation, they began to practice the improved Cultivation Method. In just a few days, they had completely adapted to the new Cultivation Method. A month had passed, and their cultivation had only increased slightly. Their combat strength had increased a lot from the original foundation.
Both of them had reached the peak of nine-star level!
If they used the forbidden technique, their strength would not be much weaker than the Pope's.
After using the forbidden technique, they would also reach the perfect-stage nine-star level.
"Lord Qin Yang, I have reached the peak of nine-star level."
Archbishop Cate sent a message to Qin Yang. Before he did, Prince Dracula had already contacted Qin Yang.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Yang's face. He now had two more powerful subordinates.
After cultivating the cultivation technique he gave them and killing the top experts in his faction, Archbishop Cate and Prince Dracula had no way out.
"Has the Church nurtured any new nine-star experts?"
Archbishop Cate replied telepathically, "Lord Qin Yang, the Pope used the Boundary Stones. Currently, one perfect-stage eight-star expert has broken through. The other experts have not!"
One month was too short!
It was already good enough that one perfect-stage eight-star expert had broken through.
"Archbishop Cate, come out for a while. I will enter your spatial treasure and capture the Pope!"
Qin Yang replied telepathically.
On the Sky Evolution Holy Land's side, there were now more than ten nine-star experts.
In addition, there were a few experts from the Thousand Buddha Empire in Qin Yang's spatial treasure!
— — they didn't practice Qin Yang's modified cultivation method.
There was a limit to how much one could bear. Qin Yang would not help anyone improve their cultivation technique!
"After capturing the Pope, you will become the Church of Light's Pope!"
Qin Yang said.
Archbishop Cate's heartbeat quickened. Could he become the Church of Light's Pope?
If that was the case, it would be great!
"Thank you, Lord!"
"I will return home now. The Pope and the other experts will not suspect anything."
Archbishop Cate replied telepathically.
Not long after, Archbishop Cate left. The Pope and the other experts indeed did not suspect anything. Although they were now gathered together, there would be experts returning home to take a look every once in a while!
A few days later, Archbishop Cate returned. Qin Yang had already entered his spatial treasure.
Qin Yang stayed in the Primordial Blessings Pagoda.
There were now more than fifty nine-star experts in the Primordial Blessings Pagoda, and many eight-star experts.
In the beginning, Qin Yang did not bring any seven-star or eight-star experts with him. Those eight-star experts were sent by Chu Xuan.
"Archbishop Cate, you're back!"
"En, is there anything going on here?"
Some experts greeted Archbishop Cate, and Archbishop Cate responded with a smile.
"It's fine here, but the Thousand Buddha Empire's side is still not settled!"
The Church of Light had lost two nine-star experts, and the Covenant of Darkness had also lost two experts. It was normal for the Thousand Buddha Empire to make some demands!
Recently, they had been negotiating.
The negotiations were almost done!
However, the Pope and the others did not know that the Thousand Buddha Empire had secretly sided with the Sky Evolution Holy Ground!
Qin Yang's group was much stronger than the Light Pope and the Covenant of Darkness. The Thousand Buddha Empire's experts had also killed the Light Pope and the Covenant of Darkness. They could only support Qin Yang.
"Your Holiness, I'm back."
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
Archbishop Cate transmitted a message to the Pope.
"Come over."
The Pope did not guard against Archbishop Cate. After all, Archbishop Cate was one of the Church's core experts!
Soon, Archbishop Cate arrived in front of the Pope.
Other than the Pope, there were three other nine-star experts, and they were also the Church's core experts.
Archbishop Malthus, whom Qin Yang had met before, was among them.
"Archbishop Cate, you came at the right time. There's something important that we need to discuss together!"
"Only the few of us know about it. Don't tell the other nine-star experts first!"
The Pope said.
Archbishop Cate nodded. "Yes, Your Holiness. May I know what it is?"
The Pope said, "Since the day before yesterday, I've been dreaming of God for three consecutive days! God said in the dream that he wants to return and needs our help! "
Malthus said, "Your Holiness, it's only a matter of time before God descends. This is the general trend, and we can't stop it. If that's the case, it's a good thing if we can help!"
The others nodded in agreement.
The Pope said, "But the other party said that he needs a sacrifice before he can return. I'm afraid he needs hundreds of millions of lives as a sacrifice!"
"Hiss!"
Archbishop Cate and the others sucked in a breath of cold air.
Hundreds of millions of lives as a sacrifice, it was no wonder the Pope wanted to discuss this matter with them.
Malthus's eyes flickered as he asked, "Your Holiness, is the eastern sacrifice okay?"
