Holy Emperor of Light
The faces of everyone in the Dark Council changed drastically. The Holy Emperor of Light was the number one person in the current cultivation world. Even the president of the Dark Council was no match for the Holy Emperor of Light!
He is the undisputed number one in the cultivation world!
"Isn't the Holy Emperor of Light the headquarters of the Vatican? How come he appears here?" exclaimed a strong man from the Dark Council.
“If I’m not mistaken, he is not the Holy Emperor of Light of this generation, but the Holy Emperor of Light who presided over the Eastern Expedition.” Yang Qi’s eyes fell on the phantom and said slowly.
"Not the Holy Emperor of this generation? How could the Holy Emperor from thousands of years ago still be alive?" The group said in disbelief.
Although practitioners have longer lifespans than ordinary people, it is limited. Only when they reach the level of Martial Sect can their lifespans be extended. For practitioners below the level of Martial Sect, it is not their lifespans that increase, but the nourishment of true Qi makes their bodies more energetic than ordinary people, immune to all diseases, and naturally they live longer.
But even Wuzong did not have a long lifespan. According to records, Wuzong's lifespan was only about two hundred years. On the other hand, the Holy Emperor who presided over the Eastern Expedition lived for thousands of years, and it is even clearly recorded that he had died.
"The Holy Emperor is dead. This is just a trace of his consciousness that he left in the Holy Grail." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
As long as the Xuanbing is suitable for you, you can use it directly. After all, it is also a weapon. However, the Yuanbing is different. The Yuanbing can be refined and integrated into the Yuanfu. It has a soul mark and is no longer considered a weapon. It is not strange to leave consciousness in the Yuanbing.
"You should have known the secret of the Holy Grail a long time ago!" Yang Qi looked at Adams not far away and said lightly.
"Yes, I knew it a long time ago, but I didn't expect that the power of the Holy Emperor would be used." Adams said with a calm smile.
At that time, the Holy Emperor overwhelmed the Dark Council, led the Eastern Expedition, and even attacked the Himalayas. It is conceivable how powerful the Holy Emperor was. Although the Holy Grail was lost, the consciousness left by the Holy Emperor is also an extremely important trump card for the Church in the end of the martial arts era.
At first, Adams had no intention of using this trump card. He just didn't expect that he was no match for Yang Qi and Xue Tu. Seeing that the Holy Grail was about to be obtained by the Dark Council, without the Holy Grail, the consciousness left by the Holy Emperor could not be used. In order to keep the Holy Grail, Adams could only use the last trump card. However, in order to awaken the consciousness of the Holy Emperor, a large amount of blood containing the power of faith was needed. That's why the practitioners of the Church of Light committed suicide.
"Dark Council?" the translucent shadow suddenly spoke.
The Dark Council and the Holy See of Light have fought countless times. Even after countless years, the Holy Emperor's consciousness still recognizes the people from the Dark Council at the first opportunity.
"Your Majesty, I have found the Holy Grail, but I cannot bring it back to the Vatican. I still need your help." Adams on the side said quickly.
"Hmm?" The shadow glanced at Adams, then landed on Yang Qi, "Eastern practitioner!"
Although countless years have passed, Phantom still remembers the battle in the Himalayas when he first went on the Eastern Expedition. The entire East united to stop him, and the leaders were the Eastern practitioners.
"You deserve to die for obstructing the Vatican's plan!"
The phantom roared, and his hand trembled. A terrifying power turned into a huge palm shadow and slapped towards Yang Qi and Xue Tu.
“Let’s fight!”
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the incoming giant palm, Yang Qi and Xue Tu both roared, and pushed the energy in their bodies to the limit. The lights of swords and sabers intertwined to form a huge light curtain to block the falling palm.
Snap!
The giant palm fell, and the light curtain shattered instantly. The terrifying giant palm directly swallowed Yang Qi and his group.
"Bang~Bang~"
With a series of muffled explosions, Yang Qi and others flew backwards and hit the stone wall.
“Puff~”
A stream of blood spurted out from his chest, and Yang Qi's face turned extremely pale. With just one palm strike, he was seriously injured. There was a huge wound on his chest, and it almost hurt his heart. Once the heart was injured, he would surely die.
Pah~
Yang Qi struggled for a while and wanted to stand up, but so many bones in his body were broken that he couldn't stand at all. One could even see the white bones of the arm holding the sword.
“The gap is too big.” Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. The shadow was only a half-step Martial Sect master, but the opponent was a powerful Martial Sect master who had experienced hundreds of battles. Even the power that could be unleashed from a half-step Martial Sect master was definitely not weaker than a full-strength attack from a Martial Sect master.
He was able to save his life thanks to the Xuanbing that protected his vital parts, otherwise he would have probably died with just that one palm strike.
"The genius who comprehended the sword power must die anyway." The shadow snorted coldly, clenched his hands, and a terrifying sword energy condensed.
"It's really over this time." Yang Qi looked at the attack in the phantom's hand and a bitter smile appeared on his face. The gap between the two sides was too big. Not to mention that he was seriously injured now, even if he was in his prime, he might not be able to withstand this sword energy.
"The Church of Light!"
Just when Yang Qi thought he was doomed, a roar came from the stone coffin in the hall.
Whoosh~
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying black light rushed straight towards the shadow.
"Hmm?" The phantom's face changed, and he flipped his palm to block the oncoming black light.
"Boom~"
There was a loud bang, and the phantom was directly knocked away by the black light.
"What?" The phantom exclaimed. Although it was only a wisp of consciousness, with the blood provided by the practitioners of the Church of Light, he also had the cultivation of a half-step martial arts master. With his own experience and methods, he was completely comparable to a strong man who had just entered the martial arts master. However, under the attack of the black light, he actually fell into a disadvantage.
"Church of Light, get out." Another angry roar came from inside the sarcophagus.
“Damn it!”
The shadow's face changed, and the next moment, it turned into a residual image, wrapped up Adams on the ground, and disappeared at the entrance of the fifth floor.
"Saved?" Looking at the departing shadow, Yang Qi couldn't believe it. He was saved. In front of that shadow, he had no power to resist. A casual blow from the other party could probably take his life.
"Who just took action?" Yang Qi looked at the sarcophagus not far away.
However, as the phantom retreated, the sound seemed to disappear and never sounded again, as if nothing had happened.
"It should be the master of the temple." Xue Tu, who was also seriously injured, said uncertainly. No matter whether it was the phantom or the voice that suddenly came from the sarcophagus, they were not something they could contend with at their level.
Yang Qi quickly took out a Peiyuan Pill and swallowed it. Xue Tu, who was standing beside him, was not as seriously injured as him. He checked the practitioners of the Dark Council and found that there were only three people who had entered the temple, including Xue Tu, who were still alive.
The other two were seriously injured and unconscious, dying. Duke Yisi was lucky because he had the weakest cultivation. When the phantom attacked, he was at the edge and suffered the weakest power. But even so, his injuries were more serious than Yang Qi's. (To be continued)
