Chapter 933 - First Probe

As expected, Sadra and the rest made the same choice. Especially after they saw the gigantic and terrifying cyclone, they had no other alternative thoughts.

Their predicament left them no choice, the families’ alliance was already destroyed. Each family had huge losses, at least more than 30% of their forces were gone. Such a huge loss was not enough to destroy the few families, but most importantly, they had no way of retreat, they were in a position of despair, and the families who chose to leave would only die even faster.

The painful losses was a terrible experience for any of the families.

But the place where it was harmed the most was the morale and confidence.

In the past, the reason why Sadra and the rest were unhappy about their situation and dared to contend with Temple for authority was mostly because of their confidence, and was the ambition of the various heroes of the Prestigious Families. They firmly believed that they were the true masters of Honorable Martial Continent, and believed that they had the qualifications to share the power over Honorable Martial Continent with Temple.

This ambition did not come from nothing or from their profound accumulation of wealth, but from their ancestors who used their own hands and blood to build a powerful and strong foundation, through the generations of victories, through countless glories, through the countless days accumulating their beliefs, that formed their identities as Prestigious Families.

But this time, all of their beliefs and conviction were completely destroyed. In the face of the Great Clan Elder, they were rendered weak and helpless like children. The casualties of the various families increased, and they realized that they were unable to change the situation. They had nowhere to run, and the fear of waiting to die nibbled away their courage, their vitality, and like that, even their hope started to dwindle away.

Their decision to join under Tang Tian meant that they had completely gave up their pride as the top of the food chain, and from then on, they would be treated as mortals on plain earth.

Sadra and the other Patriarchs knew of it, but compared to the complete destruction of their families, what was losing their pride? At least their families could continue surviving.

Sadra and the rest had no other choice.

They finally realized that they were just mortals, and the battle they were in were fought by monsters. At such a time, they no longer had the luxury to blame themselves for the foolishness, their strength had determined that they could only be supporting roles in the battlefield, which included the strength that supported their ambitions.

Sadra and the other Patriarchs saw the glimmer of hope that was glowing on their family members’ faces, and the pain in their hearts lessened. All of the Holy Flames around Snow City were being drawn in by the Sword Tempest Cyclone, allowing all of the soldiers who had overstretched their brain activity to quickly fall into deep sleep.

Finally, they were able to have a safe rest.

Everyone hoped that their monster would win, and prayed towards the gigantic cyclone.

Time continued to pass, and the atmosphere in Snow City became even heavier. The soldiers responsible for observing the fourteen pillars at Temple returned to report the changes.

Everyone immediately became alert. Sadra and the few other Patriarchs personally went to visit Temple.

The fourteen pillars at Temple had started to crystallize at its base, and the golden fiery pillars were congealing into golden crystals. The fourteen terrifying auras were completely different from what they had experienced the few days before, every one of them had become even more violent. The monsters inside the fiery pillars started to grow in strength and heartbeat, which sounded like drums, every beat resonated and caused the sky to ripple. Even from the distance, they could hear the impatient breaths.

Sadra and the rest had a premonition, that when the monsters inside the fiery pillars had completely metamorphosed, and could appear at any moment.

They were afraid, the cyclone was still growing without any signs of completion. But if the Great Clan Elder and the fourteen monsters were to appear first, they would instantly be in danger, and the situation seemed to be turning into the direction that they did not desire for.

What they did not know was that in the sky behind them, Du Ke was observing the fiery pillars with a solemn expression. Since he had mimicked the Holy Flames and cheated the seal in the sky, he was able to fly wherever he wished.

Du Ke was able to sense the terrifying auras inside the fiery pillars, and the Holy Flames were unable to block his sight, allowing him to see through the fiery pillars clearly.

Countless of golden silk that resembled a human’s veins, and converged towards a Spirit General from various parts of the fiery pillars. Du Ke instantly realized, ~Spirit Generals, those strange flames were prepared for Spirit Generals.~

Du Ke’s expression remained serious, he was able to sense the strength of the Spirit Generals, and they were at an unprecedented level that he had never seen before. It was not an unfathomable realm, but just the accumulation of power. In his eyes, there were no techniques that purely accumulated power, but the uncountable store of power was forcing the Spirit Generals to metamorphosize again and again.

Du Ke never thought that the world actually had such a simple and violent method to grow powerful martial artists.

That’s right, the Spirit Generals inside every Fiery Pillar released auras that were like monsters climbing out from uncultivated floods. Even from the distance, he could sense the terrifying auras of the Spirit Generals. They did not even conceal their auras, every Spirit General felt as if they were formed by the oceans of Holy Flames. The ripples formed by the compression of the huge volume of power was simply unconcealable, and he was able to clearly see the Spirit Generals inside the fiery pillars distorting as Laws were in chaos.

It was the pinnacle of power compression, one never seen in history.

Du Ke squinted his eyes, his heart overwhelmed with shock. He finally understood why Temple required so many Holy Flames. He could feel that through the fiery screen flowing in the sky formed by the unknown connection of the other fiery pillars, the fourteen pillars were able to continuously absorb the Holy Flames floating in Saint Continent.

~Truly terrifying……~

When anything reached its pinnacle, many things could happen.

Every single Spirit General posed a threat to him. His enlightenment of Laws were at the pinnacle, and the Law Domain he had was a matchless power, but the power accumulated inside every individual Spirit General was much larger than the power he could utilize.

Just the pure power was sufficient to pose a threat to his laws.

Right at that moment, suddenly, the Spirit General inside the middle pillar opened his eyes, with his cold and indifferent glare, he looked at Du Ke.

Du Ke’s heart was shocked, ~The enemy discovered me!~

He quickly calmed down, although the enemy was powerful, but he still had absolute confidence in his own strength. Yes, even with his Law Domain, the enemy could still pose a threat to him, but at the same time, no matter how vast the enemy’s power was, his Law Domain was also a threat to his enemy.

It was just that the situation was not advantageous for him, but he was not alone.

The Great Clan Elder could sense the threat from Du Ke, and was inwardly shocked, his eyes gleamed with a light: “So you are a surviving member of Sin Domain!”

The Great Clan Elder’s voice shot out from the fiery pillar, and the Holy Flames in the sky suddenly became agitated. Du Ke felt as though he was in a torrential storm, winds blew against him, and the Holy Flames all pounced towards him ferociously, as though they wanted to burn him to ashes.

Du Ke remained calm. The air around him turned sluggish, and no matter how violent the Holy Flames were, they were unable to enter a 30m radius of him.

The Holy Flames in the sky transformed into a wave, which flowed towards Du Ke with an earth shattering power, causing the entire sky to tremble.

“Temple treats its citizen worse than pigs and dogs, and slaughtered all of them just to nourish your own bodies, your sins are beyond redemption, even with a hundred deaths, you can never redeem yourself!”

The Holy Flames covered Du Ke’s figure, but Du Ke’s voice came out clearly from the Holy Flames, in which the rumblings could not conceal.

Du Ke’s figure was revealed once more, he was like a rock situated in the middle of a stream, while the Holy Flames were like the water, that flowed around him. He was unharmed, and remained indifferent, but his tone was resounding and powerful.

The Great Clan Elder’s face turned dark, he knew that he was unable to do anything to Du Ke, and sneered: “You can speak all you want. History is written by the victors, the losers will become the evil one, I want to see whether you will still be able to smile when we come out.”

With that, he no longer cared about Du Ke, but his absorption of Holy Flames increased.

Du Ke also knew that he was unable to do anything or stop the enemy, all the Fiery Pillars and the fiery screen in the sky were of one entity. If he tried to attack one, it meant attacking all of it, which he held no chance of winning.

And when the Spirit Generals completed their metamorphosis, their bodies would undergo qualitative changes, at that time, they would no longer need to enter the fiery pillars, and would no longer require the power of the fiery pillars.

~These Spirit Generals are almost completely metamorphosed.~

Du Ke looked at the pillars, then turned towards another direction, as he could sense a portion of the Holy Flames surging in the other direction. Furthermore, he could sense a familiar aura from the said location.

~Tang Tian!~

Du Ke instantly became excited, no matter how powerful the enemy was, Tang Tian would not sit idly either. Seeing how plenty of Holy Flames were surging towards Tang Tian as well, Du Ke’s mind instantly worked, ~Could it be that Tang Tian is also using the Holy Flames?~

The more he thought, the more possible he felt that it was, and he became curious. Tang Tian was a man not held by common sense, and could always perform extraordinary and strange things, this was something Du Ke had concluded of Tang Tian. And if Tang Tian did not do anything strange, Du Ke would feel that that would be strange.

He immediately increased his speed, as though he was skiing on the Holy Flames, he flew extremely fast. The terrifying Holy Flames were unable to do anything to him.

Below, Sadra and the other Patriarchs were dumbstruck, they did not recognize Du Ke, but when they saw how he was able to fly despite the restrictions in the sky, and could still fight against the Great Clan Elder, they saw how he was not at an disadvantage.

~Powerful!~

All of them had the same feeling, as the moment they went closer to Temple, they would already be terrified. But the attack of the Holy Flames were so violent, yet they were unable to harm Du Ke. Sadra and the rest felt as though their knowledge of the world was being toppled, as one after another, random powerful existences were appearing.

The only clue they had was the term “Remaining Survivor of Sin Domain”. ~But, since when did Sin Domain have such powerful people? He is too powerful, and looks young.~

~Wait a minute!~

They suddenly reacted, ~Isn’t the direction that the powerful Sin Domain martial artist, towards Snow City?~

Everyone looked at each other, and frantically sprinted back to Snow City.
