Chapter 760 - 352: Bloodthirsty Monarch

Chapter 760: Chapter 352: Bloodthirsty Monarch

The Death Church has struggled for so long, yet hasn’t succeeded in summoning the will of the Death God, while silently, the Night God’s followers have already achieved it.

The Night God’s will descends, which is not merely the arrival of the Old Gods but also signifies the breaking of the laws of the Sixth Epoch. The will of the Moon God will be severely dispersed, possibly even replaced. Once replaced...

What about the Moon God?

Kathy senses the soul-stirring terror hidden deep within the vortex but cannot detect the Moon God’s will. Must they all perish before the Pope appears?

As a Secretary, though her position isn’t the highest, she does have significant authority and can access many secrets. Yet, she has never come into contact with the Pope, nor received a response from the Moon God after such long prayers. Moreover, in her discreet investigations, Moon God’s responses to the clergy have ceased for a long time. In the records, there are claims every year, but she secretly found that about ninety percent of these are fake.

Could there be an issue with the Moon God?

The status of the Main God is beyond her guessing, but why did the former Chief predict this disaster and suddenly die afterward? Who in the Church Court could possess such power?

The answer is clear.

If the former Chief Red-robed Archbishop was a traitor, the prophecy should have been wrong, but now the prophecy has been fulfilled...

Kathy felt a shiver of dread. Is this the Pope’s will or the Moon God’s?

Now, thinking is useless, only fighting and surviving this calamity matters.

......

Leaves Dao feels the blessing of continuous power, coming from that great gaze, stirring his heart with excitement.

The Night God’s will has completely suppressed the Moon God’s Court, obscuring the Red Moon. The Court’s power cannot stop him; no one can prevent him from completing the most crucial awakening stage.

Leaves Dao feels the power within him constantly growing. His children work hard, nurturing themselves, on the verge of breaking the Angel’s limits. Once they become a Great Angel, they’ll carry the will of the Bloodthirsty Monarch. The Monarch’s power can directly descend onto the real world, and then they can truly destroy the Divine Moon Cathedral!

Once the Divine Moon Cathedral is destroyed, Moon God worship and its foundation will largely be demolished; the Night God’s permanent arrival on this continent will no longer be a dream. At that time, a new epoch begins.

Becoming a Regent King was never Leaves Dao’s true goal. As a follower of the Bloodthirsty Monarch and a fanatical believer of the Night God, bringing the awakened Bloodthirsty Monarch is Leaves Dao’s sole purpose. The Monarch’s arrival is a prelude to the Night God’s complete awakening. To make the Night God awaken and reclaim authority, the greatest enemy is the Moon God’s Court.

Over these years, Leaves Dao has skillfully weakened the faith of the Moon God’s Court. It’s undeniable that the political maneuvers left by Luthor have been very useful, acting under Luthor’s banner is convenient.

Corrupting the Red-robed Archbishop serves this purpose, secretly supporting the Hundred Martial Hall and promoting the Martial God serves this purpose too. The Martial God doesn’t exist, but as long as there is one more option aligning with Beijing people’s choice, faith will be dispersed, weakening the Moon God. The weaker the Moon God’s faith, the faster the Night God’s revival.

Due to enough weakening and loss of authority control, the Bloodthirsty Monarch has awakened first. Without this, the Blood Origin Cult wouldn’t have developed. Today’s massacre by the Blood Demon army is for sacrifice, allowing the Bloodthirsty Monarch to descend upon the real world, as only He can utterly destroy the Divine Moon Cathedral.

Even if it doesn’t succeed, it would severely weaken the Moon God’s power, and the day when the great Night God reappears will draw nearer.

On the other side, Li Xin just slayed a Four Lives Blood Demon and several minor Blood Demons infected by them. Despite much preparation, casualties were numerous. Qi Badao is distributing Holy Water to help heal the wounded.

Qi Badao and a dozen Night Patrol members strive to maintain order, urging the unharmed to quickly return home and hide. At this moment, staying indoors is actually safest. Blood Demons cannot track people not on the streets, although they can break in, which is purely a matter of luck.

Li Xin rolls the dice, replicating the Blood Demon’s power, instantly feeling strong malice from the underworld.

Immediately using the Inner Binding Seal to conceal himself, only then did the malice vanish. But just in that instant, Li Xin gained some information: Blood Demons are nourishing Leaves Dao, and Leaves Dao’s actions are to bring the Bloodthirsty Monarch into Dragon Capital.

These Old Gods of the past epochs devour humans; if They truly descend, Dragon Capital is doomed. Li Xin has killed three Four Lives Blood Demons along the way, each more challenging than the last. The Blood Demons’ power is steadily increasing, and once they reach Five Lives, the situation will fundamentally change. This cannot continue.

As a "Pseudo Blood Demon," Li Xin can perceive Leaves Dao’s location and status, though he doesn’t provide sustenance for them.

Qi Badao was skilled in soothing the crowd’s emotions, directing other Night Patrol members to quickly disperse the populace, swiftly separating the injured from the uninjured as they each sought a place to hide—the first priority now was survival.

"Old Dao, I have something to attend to, you all return to Shadow Owl," Li Xin sheathed his long saber and said, realizing that killing like this was not a solution.

"Boss, let me follow you, to lend a hand," Qi Badao said, while the other Night Patrol members looked at Li Xin with resolute eyes; they wanted to fight alongside the leader, to live and die together.

Li Xin waved with a smile, "My speed is too fast, you won’t keep up, and Shadow Owl is short on manpower as well, go on."

With that, Li Xin’s figure flickered, rushing toward Ye Shidao; there was no need to add to the casualties in the ensuing fight. To catch the thief, one must first catch the king—as they say—but he didn’t think his current ability could defeat Ye Shidao, however, he had a trump card.

Celestial Principle Academy.

Mordo and Philson, both three-star grandmasters, held their ground, combined with the power of numerous scholars, making this a rare safe zone—it might be due to their opposing natures, but Blood Demons seemed physiologically repelled by the Celestial Principle Academy; only the exceedingly powerful ones dared approach.

Mordo and Philson showed no smiles on their faces; they had supported the Night Patrol with many scholars, who were not adept at fighting, but the Holy Word Technique could effectively restrict the Blood Demons’ actions, making them an extremely suitable partner for the Night Patrol. However, the number of scholars was limited and couldn’t cover the entire Dragon Capital.

"Ye Shidao prepared so many Blood Demons, this isn’t something that could be formed in one or two years," Mordo said with a sigh, "People used to say Li Long was insane, I somewhat doubted it before."

"The catastrophe facing Dragon Capital is quite significant," Philson said, "Li Long has always been strong, but he is indeed belligerent. The Moon God’s Court bears undeniable responsibility."

Lin Xueyin quietly prepared tea for her teacher and the dean; in just a short time apart, Lin Xueyin seemed to have grown a lot taller, becoming graceful and serene, exuding a few more hints of a cool aura with every gesture.

"Mind your words," Mordo said.

"Even the Earth Temple is like this, not to mention the Moon God’s Court, which lacks a sense of belonging; they are all just human, unable to transcend human nature. However, they also underestimated Ye Shidao’s madness. Judging by the situation, he is not doing this for himself; he simply wants to bring forth the Bloodthirsty Monarch, which probably exceeds someone’s expectations," Philson said.

Mordo looked towards the sky; the entire Dragon Capital was shrouded in darkness, with no moonlight, and the terrifying abyssal vortex at the Divine Moon Cathedral was clearly visible, as if it was going to swallow the entire cathedral.

"Ye Shidao will soon break through to the Great Angel realm; once he reaches this level, it means his body can briefly bear the will of the Bloodthirsty Monarch. If he can destroy the Divine Moon Cathedral, it would definitely be a major success on the path to the Night God’s descent," Mordo sighed and said, "Dragon Capital might indeed be destroyed."

"Even if he descends, he might not be an opponent; the Great Angel’s body can bear very limited power, at most intensifying his wear and tear."

"It depends on whether he is willing to bear such wear and tear—the opportunities for changes in epochs are many, he might also be not willing to resign," Mordo said.

The Bloodthirsty Monarch is the true form under the Night God, although considered an offshoot deity, positioned one rank above Pope Saint Evaris. Even if Ye Shidao reaches the Great Angel realm, he can only barely bear a part, and once overloaded with power, it will collapse, but it’s enough to cause significant wear and tear to the Pope.

And wear and tear are what deities fear the most; in the Pope’s eyes, the loss from Dragon Capital’s destruction may not compare to a bit of wear and tear on himself.

Screams were endless—even the Celestial Principle Academy was the safest place in Dragon Capital; neither the Moon God’s Court, the Hundred Martial Hall, the Night Patrol, nor any other place was as safe as the Celestial Principle School.

On the surface, Lin Xueyin was calm, but inwardly she was anxious and tortured; she was very worried about her mother over there, and also worried about Li Xin—Ah Xin was too impulsive, wanting to rush forward in everything.

"Master, if Dragon Capital is destroyed, how will our Celestial Principle School propagate Celestial Principle Study? If it can’t develop, won’t it also be destroyed?" Xueyin suddenly asked.

Mordo smiled at Philson, "The little one couldn’t hold it in any longer."

Philson looked at his beloved disciple, "You mean to say why are we two old geezers sitting here chatting leisurely instead of going out to save people, right?"

"Disciple dares not question master; I believe there must be a reason, though this disciple is slow-witted and can’t figure it out. Master is benevolent, and would not watch others die without helping," Xueyin said respectfully.

"Xueyin, you’re mistaken; Master often doesn’t save those in peril, not to mention, Master isn’t necessarily a good person. Cultivators don’t distinguish between good and evil, merely walking the path they believe in, acting according to law to gain hidden power. Essentially, cultivation is defying the heavens, breaking the law at its fringes to seize extraordinary power and longer life; which of these doesn’t violate the natural law?" Philson said, looking at Lin Xueyin, who showed little emotional change, "I believe you should understand what I’m saying."
