Chapter 849: Chapter 27: Break Through!
Lynch, Abbas, Gordon, and Meiweisi, the four Rule Wizards, along with Space and Vanilla, the two Domain Peaks, transformed into rays of light tearing through the sky at a speed beyond sound, swiftly heading towards the Holy City Eden. The vast mountains, towns, and fields below rapidly receded in their view, turning into blurred blocks of color.
However, this nearly extreme speed of flight did not last long, and an unsettling mutation abruptly occurred!
"Buzz——"
It did not come from ahead, but from below them, from that vast land of the Ancient Ruins, long ruled by the Freemasonry Church!
One beam... two beams... ten beams... a hundred beams... a thousand beams...!
Countless azure beams of light, like cascading waterfalls in reverse, suddenly shot up from various places on the ground without any warning! They originated from towns, villages, and even some remote corners.
These blue beams were pure and icy, exuding a rich soul wave, and converged towards the Holy City Eden with a clear target, vying for the lead!
Each blue beam’s rise accompanied the withering of a life. Through perception at the Rule level, Lynch and the others could "see" clearly, under each blue beam, a believer with a pale rune flashing on their forehead. Their eyes dimmed instantly as if all support had been pulled away, their breath of life extinguished like a candle in the wind, softly falling to the ground.
Whether it was farmers working in the fields, citizens praying in the cities, or fervent priests within the church. Their souls were forcefully stripped by that eerie rune, transforming into this blue stream of light rushing towards the "Holy City"!
"Not good!"
Dean Abbas’s gentle eyes suddenly burst with unprecedented gravity as he abruptly stopped, looking at the blue soul torrent surging towards Eden like rivers converging to the sea, his voice tinged with urgency:
"Erodion’s ritual has already begun! He is forcefully harvesting the souls of all believers! We must stop him, otherwise, when we arrive, it will be too late! By then, not only will his strength balloon to an unpredictable extent, but these billions of souls will also be completely annihilated!"
He took a deep breath, as if innumerable star trajectories flowed in his eyes, and the serene vastness of his Space Domain expanded with unprecedented speed! "We can’t let these souls converge any further! With the Space Rules, I will block them first!"
In an instant, an invisible yet extremely majestic will enveloped the entire sky over the Ancient Ruins! Abbas’s figure seemed to merge with the spatial structure of this world. He moved his hands rapidly in the void, stirring bottom-level rule veins beyond ordinary comprehension.
"Space Lock!"
The command was given, and the Law followed!
Only to see those countless blue beams originally shooting straight towards Holy City Eden, upon reaching a certain height, seemed to suddenly lose all sense of direction, spinning and spiraling wildly in the sky like headless flies!
They crashed into a space maze forcibly twisted, folded, and set with infinite loop paths by Abbas! The once mighty soul torrent now turned into a chaotic woven sea of blue light within a specific airspace, unable to advance further!
Abbas maintained the vast domain, his face slightly pale, but his tone remained steady as he quickly explained to Lynch and the others: "I temporarily altered the Space Rules of this airspace, creating a direction disorder effect."
"As long as Erodion’s ritual is not completely fulfilled, and the energy link is not solidified, these lost souls can return to their bodies once the ritual is interrupted! But this method is enormously consuming and cannot last long!"
"Lynch, Gordon, Meiweisi, it’s up to you now! You must reach Eden quickly and disrupt his ritual core!"
"Understood!" A cold light flashed in Lynch’s eyes, without hesitation.
"Go!" Guardian Gordon said succinctly, an earthy yellow glow emanating around him.
Prophet Meiweisi nodded slightly, the threads of fate flowing in her eyes, already calculating the best path.
Space and Vanilla, even more emboldened with battle spirit, followed closely.
The six figures once again exploded with extreme speed, like six meteors, streaking across the sky straight toward the foreboding Holy City looming in the distance!
Almost at the very moment they reached the outer sky of Holy City Eden——
"Boom!!!!"
A deafening roar, not from an attack, but from the city itself! An immensely thick, hemispherically inverted light shield, exuding a dense pale Holy Light and countless twisted prayer runes, suddenly rose with the majestic Justice Cathedral at its center, firmly enclosing the entire Holy City Eden!
The energy flowed on the surface of the shield, radiating an impregnable aura of rules, like a barrier where divinity and despair intertwined, fiercely blocking Lynch and the others’ path!
"Hmph, a futile struggle!" Gordon coldly snorted, his rigid facade showing no fear, stepping forward with the rule domain containing mountainous strength coalescing on his fist, ready to unleash a punch.
However, before he could make a move——
"For Father God! Purify the heretic!"
"Glory is my life!"
Along with deafening fanatical battle cries, figures in white robes exuding domain-level fluctuations, with hollow yet fervent eyes, surged from all parts of the Holy City, especially from within the Justice Cathedral! Their numbers astonishingly reached several dozen!
They completely disregarded their own depletion, burning with life and faith, transforming into pale meteors, fearlessly launching a death-defying charge at Lynch and the others! These were the hidden depths of the Freemasonry Church, the domain-level fanatics fully brainwashed by faith!
Simultaneously, on the walls of the Holy City, within the streets, tens of thousands of Libra Knights, Battle Priests, and various War Golems surged like a tide, constructing layered defensive lines, all aiming their long-range weaponry and defensive arrays at the invaders in the sky.
At this moment, the entire Holy City Eden became an iron hedgehog with all spikes erected, fighting like a cornered beast!
With the solid city barrier in front, domain-level death warriors swarming from all sides, and a waiting army below. The curtain of the final battle was completely drawn against the backdrop of soul wails, Holy Light barriers, and surging murderous intent!
Seeing this scene, not a single one among them backed down.
Lynch’s voice wasn’t loud, but carried an unyielding decision, like ice crashing, clearly permeating each companion’s ears, instantly overshadowing both the fanatic’s war cries in front and the army’s clamor below.
"Charge through!"
With those three words spoken, there was no more hesitation!
Lynch’s usually restrained aura burst like a slumbering volcano suddenly awakened! It wasn’t merely an outpouring of energy, but a more fundamental, more unsettling change—a deployment of his rule domain that was not combative, but... covering and altering!
"Rule Specification: The road ahead, unobstructed!"
His words, like magic, took effect! The thick, pale Holy Light city shield before them, upon contact with Lynch’s rule domain, rippled intensely as though a stone had been thrown into water!
The prayer runes glowing on the shield flickered rapidly, unstable, their defensive foundational rules being forcibly twisted and negated! Although it did not immediately disintegrate, a "gap" large enough for several to pass through, its edges constantly twisting, breaking, and attempting to mend, was forcibly "defined"!
"Go!" Lynch led the charge, transforming into a beam of light, shooting straight at the forcefully opened gap!
