Chapter 1020 - 455: Listening to the Wind Is Boring Today—Annihilate the Three Deceits Cult Here

Suddenly, all the followers’ bodies trembled involuntarily, and pure, intense faith erupted from within them.

If before, they offered their faith willingly, now the followers were being ensnared by some indescribable force, squeezing out their Heart and Spirit, and consuming their flesh.

Forcibly extracting the Power of Faith from them.

The followers’ faces turned deathly pale at this moment, and then they fell to the ground one after another.

Following this, faith erupted like a mountaintop waterfall, yet the faith that ought to be pure and holy began to twist and flow into the black light.

The enigmatic black light grew even stronger, with countless chaotic sounds whispering within it.

Under the Xue Yue, Chen Yuan’s body began to dissolve rapidly. At the very moment it was about to completely disperse, he let out a desperate and venomous howl.

"You want me to have nothing, yet even if I face extinction, I will take you with me. Taste the poison of faith!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yuan’s body completely melted beneath the moonlight.

And the black light, now without its controller, began to rapidly expand, reflecting countless devout faces within Su Tu’s pupils.

They were praying, chanting, worshipping their god!!

Those faces spoke of their devotion, told of their faith, whispered their merits for the god. Under the stories of those faces, the holy Power of Faith seemed ready to bloom slowly.

However, at this moment!!

Those faces began to turn insane and ferocious!!

The once devout faces grew greedy, and the holy faith became tainted.

Oh God!! Grant me endless wealth!!

Why is my neighbor’s land richer? God, in light of my devotion, make his land wither!!

Oh God, pity me, lonely and friendless, in faith, grant me a fair maiden!!

Oh God!!

Oh God!!

Oh God!!!!

Behind each cry to God, behind each devout face, lay an insatiable abyss of desire!!

What they kneeled before, chanted to, believed in, was never the so-called god. What they saw when gazing up at the divine altar, was not the Tri-Deity formed of Golden Body, but....

The never-ending, storm-like.... desire!!

"Is this the essence of faith?"

"It truly is... filthy.."

Su Tu looked at the Power of Faith, speaking in a detached voice.

As his voice fell, those countless faces returned to the black light.

Then, the black light spread like mercury, pervasive and all-consuming, madly surging into Su Tu’s body, along with the faith in the cathedral pouring in at the same time.

At this moment, this faith was no longer pure power, but mixed with countless thoughts of desire and greed... a deadly poison!!

It was the Tri-Deity’s attempt to taint the Power of Great Destruction.

This was Chen Yuan’s final method of desperation, using the poison of faith to stain Su Tu, attempting to thoroughly corrupt the divinity within him.

As the black light entered Su Tu’s body, he turned instantly rigid, his eyes becoming extremely hollow, as if transformed into an empty shell.

Seeing this, Liu Yingjiao was shocked to the core; the struggle between Su Tu and Chen Yuan had surpassed her understanding.

But at this moment, she only knew one thing, Chen Yuan had vanished, and Su Tu appeared soulless.

"Little Tu!!"

She quickly approached Su Tu, trying to wake him up, but the next moment she was amazed to discover that Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit... were no longer within his flesh.

"Poison of faith!! It’s the poison of faith!"

Liu Yingjiao recognized the source of that power and instantly realized what had happened.

Chen Yuan had truly mastered the existence of the Tri-Deity Cult for so many years, and even in extinction, he could leave behind such methods.

Su Tu bore the Power of Great Destruction, and that power could be corroded by the poison of faith, possibly even causing the complete annihilation of Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit.

At this moment, within the vast cathedral, countless followers lay on the ground, the Sect Leader Chen Yuan having vanished without a trace, leaving only the white-robed figure bewildered... at a loss.

Suddenly, she sensed a flash of Spiritual from Su Tu’s body, and her eyes contained a flicker of joy.

She formed a hand seal, and abruptly, translucent barriers seemed to manifest from the void, shielding around both of them.

Even though she had seen Chen Yuan dissolve under the Xue Yue, Liu Yingjiao dared not relax for an instant, for she knew too well what kind of person Chen Yuan was.

For his goals, he could lurk for a millennium, sacrifice his homeland, extinguish himself countless times.

If not for Su Tu’s existence, Chen Yuan truly would have succeeded, becoming the first god of the Human Race, their guardian deity.

His faith would have been planted deep within every Human Race member’s heart, his name Chen Yuan perpetually immortal.

Just one step away, just one final step.

But in this final step, Chen Yuan failed too quickly, though he displayed the dignity of a deity, he was completely suppressed by Su Tu, unable to reveal the destruction a deity ought to possess.

Left merely with one final Killing Technique, then vanished into smoke.

All this made Liu Yingjiao feel somewhat unreal, that scheme-mastering, intricately calculating Chen Yuan, would die so abruptly?

Liu Ma does not believe, nor dare to believe, hence she anxiously waits for everything, guarding Su Tu’s body, awaiting her student’s return.
