Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1321: Power of Light

The valley was deathly silent.

The smell of blood hung thick in the air.

Ten minutes later, Luo Tian saw the Paladin Legion. He had to admit, they looked incredibly impressive, completely awe-inspiring. The sight was so shocking that if he hadn’t known he was in the real world, he would have thought he was inside some large-scale online game.

The glittering golden armor, the warhorses, their solemn expressions, and the paladin aura radiating from them. The holy light of divine protection surrounding their bodies all displayed their formidable strength.

In the very center stood an old man in a black robe, whose depth was even more unfathomable.

The Black Robe High Priest smiled and said, “You have finally arrived.”

It was as if he had been waiting for Luo Tian all along.

Indeed, he was waiting for Luo Tian.

Luo Tian was momentarily stunned before stating, “You look like you knew I was coming.”

The Black Robe High Priest maintained a calm smile and replied, “I knew you were coming three years ago. Looking at you is like looking at an old friend; you truly have arrived as scheduled.”

Three years ago?

Luo Tian’s brow furrowed.

At that time, he was still on the Tianxuan Continent!

He hadn’t even entered the Ancient World yet, yet this man claimed to have been waiting for him for three years.

Could it be…

Did it start from the moment the Ancient King brought his consciousness into Pangu’s Cave?

Liu Zhan asked in a low voice, “Boss, didn’t you say you came to the Ancient World from a lower plane? Why has this guy been waiting for you for three years?”

The Saintess whispered, “God’s Prophecy.”

The Black Robe High Priest was briefly surprised. For the first time, his gaze fell upon the Saintess. After inspecting her closely, his expression changed a bit. “The Saintess of Phoenix Sky Mountain… you truly surprise me. It seems you all come from the Misty Cloud Academy.”

Behind him, the expressions of the members of the Paladin Legion darkened.

A hint of hatred flickered in their eyes.

If a Saintess hadn’t appeared on the Four Divine Beasts Continent back then, they wouldn’t have lost that battle, and the honor of their paladins wouldn’t have been tarnished. It was all because of the Saintess of Phoenix Sky Mountain.

Their auras fluctuated visibly.

The eyes of the iron-blooded woman to the right of the Black Robe flickered, and the aura of the Sky Sword Technique surged from her body as she glared intensely at the Saintess.

The Black Robe said, “Kailin, she is not the Saintess who killed your father. Your hatred should not be directed at her.”

The iron-blooded woman was named Kailin, the Commander of the Tribunal’s Paladin Legion.

Kailin withdrew her aura and replied, “Okay.”

Despite this, her eyes never left the Saintess. She just kept staring at her.

The Saintess glanced at her before looking back at the Black Robe. “Phoenix Sky Mountain does not interfere in secular affairs. Even when the previous Saintess descended the mountain, she did not do so. That war brought too much slaughter, so it was just heaven’s punishment upon you. This time…”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “The power of the Seven-Colored Divine Stone is not something you can control. Not even the supreme God of your Holy See can master it. I advise you to turn back. Otherwise, the consequences…”

She did not finish her sentence.

Just as the Holy See had God’s Prophecy, Phoenix Sky Mountain possessed divine powers that also allowed them to see into the future.

The Saintess’s goal in coming here was to stop the Holy See.

Not even Luo Tian knew this.

“Hahaha… are you going to say the consequence is another punishment from heaven?” The Black Robe High Priest chuckled softly.

“Last time, Phoenix Sky Mountain tried to stop the war, but it broke out anyway. This time, someone from Phoenix Sky Mountain has appeared again, but you won’t be able to stop or change anything.”

Immediately after, the Black Robe High Priest’s voice turned cold. “Since you know we are here for the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, then you should understand the Holy See’s style. We never stop until we reach our goal. Saintess, you had better not interfere, or else you will die before you can witness heaven’s punishment against us.”

After speaking, his massive aura instantly covered the entire valley.

Luo Tian felt a slight tremor in his heart as he thought to himself, “Such powerful strength!”

He then said, “You waited three years just for me to appear. Then you should also know that without me, you won’t find the Ancient King, nor can you hope to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Stone…”

Before Luo Tian could finish speaking, the Black Robe High Priest interrupted with a laugh. “That is the only reason you are still alive.”

It was just a glance from him, but Luo Tian felt as if he had entered hell.

The crushing pressure was so immense that even the Vermilion Bird power within his sea of consciousness could not react in time.

Cold sweat drenched Luo Tian’s back.

Illusion Fairy immediately exclaimed, “An expert of the Honorable Emperor realm!”

“He cultivates the power of light. Luo Tian, you must be extremely careful. Your Vermilion Bird protection is useless against this kind of power. The Vermilion Bird is only effective against evil power, but it cannot defend against this power of light.”

The Black Robe High Priest’s voice carried a trace of killing intent.

It was as if Luo Tian were an ant in his palm; three ant lives were held in his hand.

And rightfully so, since the Church had waited three years for this day.

How powerful were the preparations made over these three years?

It was so significant that the Holy See directly dispatched the most elite Paladin Legion from the Tribunal, along with a Black Robe High Priest of the Honorable Emperor realm!

The Black Robe High Priest withdrew his aura and said indifferently, “You have no choice. From the moment you stepped into the Pangu Mountain Range, your lives no longer belonged to yourselves.”

After saying that, he shot a cold glance at Luo Tian before turning to point toward the dark, eerie, massive cave nearby. “Please step forward and lead the way. Do not even think of saying no, or the fat man beside you will instantly disappear from this world.”

His tone was calm, yet it carried an unshakeable power.

This was a high-level powerhouse!

It was a supreme pressure that commanded authority without needing anger.

It was even more formidable than the aura released by the Huang family’s ancestor.

Luo Tian’s mind was completely suppressed, causing him to uncontrollably tremble.

Liu Zhan’s face darkened as he said, “Boss, don’t…”

The corner of the Black Robe High Priest’s mouth curled into a cold smile before he lifted his index finger.

“Ommm~!”

“Ommm~!”

Two humming sounds echoed out, and Liu Zhan’s body was instantly hoisted into the air by a powerful force. He hung suspended in mid-air with his arms and legs spread wide, completely out of his control no matter how hard he struggled.

The Black Robe High Priest smiled and said, “Do you want to watch your brother be torn apart?”

He was using Liu Zhan to threaten Luo Tian!

Undoubtedly, this touched Luo Tian’s reverse scale.

Luo Tian hated nothing more than people targeting those close to him.

But at this moment, Luo Tian also smiled and replied, “I’ll lead the way.”

The Black Robe High Priest chuckled before saying, “Very sensible. If you continue to be this sensible, you might live a few days longer.”

After saying that, he turned around.

In the sky, Liu Zhan started falling before crashing directly onto a rock. Unable to use his cultivation realm for defense, the impact caused him to cough up a large mouthful of blood.

The Black Robe looked at Luo Tian and smiled coldly, “Consider this a warning!”
