Chapter 392 The High Priest's Fear!
Lin Qiye was like a black lightning bolt moving through the streets and alleys.
Along its path, all the soldiers who tried to stop it fell like withered leaves swept away by the autumn wind before the overwhelming torrent of its will, instantly losing their ability to fight.
As his golden ocean of will swept across, it violently stirred the abyssal will hidden deep within these soldiers.
However, before these abyssal wills could fully manifest, they were like snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly devoured by the domineering and unparalleled sixth-level extreme martial intent!
Thousands of soldiers shuddered simultaneously, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, before they lost consciousness completely.
For Lin Qiye, this was not a battle, but a feast.
The pure abyssal will extracted from thousands of soldiers converged into a mighty torrent, continuously replenishing the energy he had consumed during his high-speed advance.
The entire Jingkong City was plunged into a deathly silence and chaos!
The piercing sirens still echoed over the city, but on the streets, not a single person could be seen standing.
Only the soldiers lying on the ground, unconscious, silently recounted the scene that had just unfolded, a scene that felt like divine punishment.
Lin Qiye's figure did not pause for a moment.
His goal was clear—
In the center of the city, there stands a black tower that pierces the sky like a sharp sword!
……
At the top of the tower, inside the circular hall.
The high priest's dark eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hood, were fixed on the void in front of the altar.
She could sense that those ordinary soldiers couldn't stop Lin Qiye in the slightest.
For the first time, a look of undisguised solemnity appeared in her deep, dark eyes.
"What...is this thing...?"
She muttered to herself, her voice hoarse and low, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She could clearly sense how difficult the other person was.
With so many soldiers, they couldn't stop them even a little bit?
Just then, a series of hurried yet orderly footsteps came from outside the hall.
Ten figures clad in black priestly robes strode into the hall. They were all women, and each of them exuded an extraordinary and powerful aura.
They moved in unison, kneeling respectfully on one knee.
"High Priest!"
The leader's voice carried a hint of barely concealed panic.
"The city defenses...the city defenses have completely fallen!"
"The intruders... are... are heading towards the tower!"
The high priest didn't turn around, but silently watched the figure in the mirror getting closer and closer, and said in a hoarse voice, "I know."
She slowly turned around, her unfathomable black eyes sweeping indifferently over the ten extraordinary priestesses kneeling before her.
"Now is the time for you to protect Jingkong City."
Upon hearing this, a flash of fanaticism appeared in the eyes of the ten priestesses.
They answered in unison, their voices filled with a resolute determination that showed no fear of death!
"We are willing to defend Jingkong City to the death!"
Upon hearing this, the high priest slowly nodded.
She raised her pale, bony hand and pointed to the very center of the hall.
As she moved, countless intricate and eerie blood-red patterns suddenly lit up on the smooth, mirror-like black stone surface!
These patterns intertwined and spread, eventually forming a gigantic scarlet magic circle that covered the entire hall!
The magic circle was filled with the most primal, nauseating aura of blood and evil!
"Go," the high priest's voice was as gentle as a lover's whisper, yet it carried an irresistible magic. "Offer your loyalty and your lives to this city."
"Yes, High Priest!"
The ten priestesses responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
Without hesitation, they stood up and marched in unison into the crimson magic circle, kneeling down in their respective positions.
Immediately afterwards, they both pulled out a sacrificial dagger made of obsidian, which was full of evil aura, from their bosoms and, without hesitation, slashed their wrists!
Crimson blood, like a stream, gushed from their wrists, dripping onto the patterns of the magic array.
The crimson magic circle seemed to come alive the moment it came into contact with the blood, bursting out with an eerie crimson light!
Their aura weakened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The scarlet magic circle grew brighter and brighter, becoming increasingly dazzling!
Finally, streams of pure, crimson energy rose from the patterns of the magic array, flowing continuously into the High Priest's body like rivers flowing into the sea!
With the infusion of this immense energy, her aura surged and soared at a visible speed!
……
Just as the crimson magic circle was fully activated and the high priest's aura surged wildly, Lin Qiye's figure finally arrived at the first floor of the tower.
The spacious yet empty plaza in front of the tower was already filled with a somber atmosphere.
Nearly ten figures clad in dark silver armor, wielding long swords, stood in neat battle formation, blocking his path like the most solid steel bulwark.
Each of them exuded an extraordinary and powerful aura, and their sharp eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
Lin Qiye's gaze swept calmly over the elite squad composed entirely of extraordinary experts before him, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Having fought his way from the city wall to here, he had already taken care of three female warriors who were also at the extraordinary level.
It seems that the information provided by those four women was ultimately a bit of a blunder.
They deliberately concealed the true number of extraordinary combatants in Jingkong City, perhaps hoping to make themselves underestimate their opponents and thus buy their high priest more time to prepare.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing.
Lin Qiye's safety boundaries, or rather, his ability to anticipate danger, far exceed their hidden strength.
Let alone ten, even if there were a hundred more, it would just be a matter of putting in a little more effort for him now.
"kill!"
The leading female warrior let out a cold, sharp shout!
The next moment, nearly ten figures moved at the same time!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized and full of tacit understanding, clearly the result of countless collaborative training sessions!
The flashing blades, like an interwoven web of death, blocked all of Lin Qiye's escape routes from all directions, relentlessly attacking him!
However, Lin Qiye didn't even glance at them.
His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of barriers, landing directly on the top floor of the tower.
He could clearly sense an incomparably powerful and malevolent aura rapidly gathering and rising there.
That so-called high priest should be there.
"Get out of here."
Lin Qiye uttered two words softly.
The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a divine decree from the heavens, carrying an irresistible majesty.
boom--!!!!!!
That sixth-level extreme martial will, as if a god had descended, once again erupted completely without reservation!
The golden ocean of will instantly and completely submerged the entire first-floor hall!
The expressions on the faces of the nearly ten fearless female warriors who were charging forward with all their might froze instantly!
They didn't even have time to react!
The golden ocean of will, like the hottest lava, ruthlessly washed over, penetrated, and tore apart their spiritual world!
The abyssal will within them, which had long been integrated with their flesh and soul, erupted like an enraged venomous snake, instinctively unleashing its final frenzy in an attempt to resist and devour this foreign invasion!
However, this is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a firefly trying to see the moon!
Before that blazing, sun-like will of the sixth level of extreme realm, the wisps of abyssal aura couldn't even muster a semblance of resistance. They were like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, instantly evaporated, purified, and obliterated!
"Ugh..."
Nearly ten muffled groans filled with pain and horror rang out almost simultaneously!
Warm, viscous blood gushed uncontrollably from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses!
Blood spurted from all seven orifices!
Immediately afterwards, their bodies seemed to have all their strength drained away, and they collapsed to the ground, instantly losing consciousness. The long swords in their hands also fell to the ground with a "clang," making a series of crisp sounds.
The pure abyssal will that was forcibly extracted from their bodies transformed into invisible torrents of energy, flowing continuously into Lin Qiye's body like rivers flowing into the sea, becoming nourishment for his spiritual sea of consciousness.
Lin Qiye's steps did not falter in the slightest.
He didn't even glance at the female soldiers who were lying on the ground again, and stomped his foot hard!
boom--!!!
The hard, black stone ground cracked and shattered instantly beneath his feet, forming a huge, spiderweb-like crater!
Lin Qiye himself, taking advantage of this terrifying recoil, shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, instantly transforming into a streak of black and gold light!
Instead of climbing the tower layer by layer from the inside, he chose a more direct and domineering approach—
It hurtled upwards at a terrifying speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, directly along the tower's smooth, mirror-like vertical facade!
With each stomp of his feet on the outer wall of the tower, a force as powerful as a landslide or tsunami erupted, causing the entire tower to tremble slightly and emit a series of mournful cries of unbearable strain!
……
Meanwhile, at the very top of the tower, inside the circular hall...
The ten priestesses had long since turned into ten withered corpses. All the life essence and abyssal power in their bodies had been devoured and transformed by the scarlet magic circle and injected into the high priest's body.
The high priest floated silently in the center of the magic circle, his wide black priestly robes fluttering without wind, and his body was surrounded by a visible blood-red energy mist.
Her aura had already reached an unprecedented and terrifying peak, and there were even faint signs that it was about to break through a certain critical point!
Her unfathomable black eyes were indifferently fixed on the ever-brightening crimson magic circle at her feet, feeling the surging, immense power within her body. A cold and cruel smile curled at the corner of her mouth, hidden beneath her hood.
However, the cruel smile on her face froze completely the next second!
Instead, there was an undisguised look of astonishment and disbelief!
Her dark eyes widened suddenly!
How is that possible?!
She could clearly sense that the defensive line she had set up on the third floor of the tower, composed of three elite superhuman squads, was actually...
In just a few breaths, it was extinguished, like a candle flame blown out by a strong wind!
So fast?!
Those were elite troops she had painstakingly cultivated over decades, capable of directly confronting any abyss-level superhuman!
actually……
Can't even delay the other party for a moment?!
Just as the high priest was utterly shaken and in disbelief—
boom--!!!!!!
An indescribable, boundless, and terrifying will descended from the heavens like a majestic divine might descending from the highest heavens, without any warning!
That golden will was domineering and unparalleled!
It seemed as if it wanted to completely tear apart and pierce through the sky above this abyss!
Ignoring the tower's solid physical defenses and the evil energy emanating from the crimson magic circle, it pierced through layers of barriers with an almost tyrannical and unreasonable manner, and slammed into the high priest's spiritual world!
"Hmm!"
The high priest's face, hidden beneath his hood, suddenly turned pale, and he let out a painful groan!
She felt as if her mental world had been struck by a burning meteorite falling from the sky, creating a monstrous wave!
That golden will, like the hottest lava, frantically washed, burned, and purified her spiritual ocean, which had long been tainted by the power of the abyss!
Her immense abyssal will, which had long been integrated with her flesh and soul and was comparable to that of a mysterious human powerhouse, was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun in the face of this domineering golden torrent, and was frantically suppressed, melted, and evaporated!
An unprecedented, excruciating pain surged forth wildly from the deepest recesses of her soul!
"What...what is this?!"
For the first time, her hoarse voice carried an undisguised shock and...fear!
