Chapter 502: Taking Divinity

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Church was powerful and influential. For hundreds and thousands of years, they had staked their claim on the three Space Cracks on the Gold Coast, Stormy Seas Domain, and the Holy Mountain. Even though they were able to reap the harvest of large amounts of top quality minerals from the alternate dimensions, it was also highly possible for demons from the alternate dimensions to come pouring out of the tumultuous Space Cracks. For this reason, there would be at least one Expert who was Divine level and above standing guard at every Space Crack on the continent, including the Gold Coast.

As the only Expert on the Tailun Continent who had advanced to Divine level and had mastered the Law of Lightning, the Light Templar Antonio’s power was no less than a Mid-level Deity, despite only being an Expert at the peak level of a Low-level Deity in name. His powerful Ion Strom had become the stuff of nightmares for his enemies. No matter in one to one combats or group battles, its ability to kill was terrifying.

The Church Templars were divided into the Inner and Outer Templars, but the Warriors were all the same. They were only divided into two types, the Dark and the Light. The Dark Templars specialized in close combat. After becoming invisible, their speed became lightning-fast, and their attacks were precise. The Light Templars, on the other hand, specialized in long-range attack capabilities. Of them, the most powerful were the Light Templars, who specialized in the Law of Lightning.

The Church Templars already had astonishing power. When they worked together to battle, their attack power increased many times over. Notably, when the Dark and Light Templars worked together, they could even unleash terrifying battle prowess.

After unintentionally getting himself surrounded by the Church Templars, Yang Ling did not dare hesitate in the upcoming big battle. But, the situation was more serious than he had imagined!

The ordinary Church Knights and Spellcasters were no match for the Great Magical Beasts Army. But his party, like the Corpse Wizard King and the Giant Ape King, were being entangled by a few Dark Templars and high-level Knights. Even though there were numerous Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats, and Marmots, they were unable to rush over in his aid due to the frightening attacks of lightning by the Light Templar Antonio. What was even worse was that the attacks by the more than a dozen Dark Templars were more getting more intense wave after wave. Yang Ling had no time to cast the ‘Seeing through the Earth’ Wizard Technique and was unable to reveal the invisible Dark Templars in front of everyone.

Wooo...

A wave of dark Knife Arista followed him like a shadow, heading straight for Yang Ling’s chest. At the same time, another wave came at him from below, sneakily heading for the root of his thigh. They were all fast as lightning. After releasing an ear-piercing sonic boom, they left deep marks on the ground. After being surrounded, no matter how Yang Ling dodged, he was always being attacked by two or more waves of Knife Arista at every moment.

What to do?

Relying on his strong physical body and hyper speed, Yang Ling again narrowly avoided two Knife Arista. Seeing another three Knife Arista coming closer, Yang Ling furrowed his brows tightly. These Dark Templars were simply too fast. Every time he cast the Five Element Evasion Technique, and got ready to teleport away, he would instantly get interrupted by them. Thankfully his senses were greatly sharpened after he had advanced to the next level. Or else, he might sooner have gotten hit by their attacks!

It was important to tamper the Ice-sealing Armor again. Before it was completely repaired, it was not wise to use it to defend against the enemy, to prevent permanent damage irreparable damage from being done to the armor. The Ground Guardian exhausted huge amounts of Wizard Power and Mental Energy. It would not do to use it lightly before a critical moment. As such, in order to avoid the many organized attacks by the Dark Templars, and to guard against the lightning attacks by the Light Templar Antonio, Yang Ling had no choice but to have many close shaves at that moment.

“Hmph, God says that a pagan is the root of all evil! Go to hell!” After snorting coldly, the Light Templar waved his hand and released a few snake-like lightning bolts, forcing Yang Ling to dodge to the left, walking into an ambush set by the Dark Templars. In an instant, over a dozen Knife Arista appeared beside Yang Ling, coming at him from all angles.

“Ice Wind Storm!” Seeing that he could no longer avoid being hit, Yang Ling let out a roar, instantly casting the Ice-sealing Divine Domain, condensing a force of ice wind storm, stacked with 16 times of the force of gravity. He acted on the spot like the wind, using his powerful Divine Knowledge to lock on to the soul of one of the Dark Templars, and ruthlessly punched him hard!

Ah...

The sudden Gravity Force caught the more than a dozen Dark Templars unawares. The accompanying Ice Wind Storm that contained a Soul Attack almost caused them to lose control of their souls. The fellow who got hit by Yang Ling was in an even worse state. It just so happened that Yang Ling smashed him right in the center of his chest. With a cracking sound, the force strong enough to fell mountains and move seas instantly broke his ribs, the attack was accompanied by a lightning attack, which caused him to go numb all over. With that smacking sound, he fell onto the ground and was unable to turn invisible.

With the sudden counterattack, Yang Ling seriously wounded a Dark Templar. But he was also hit by the Knife Arista of two Dark Templars. Blood flowed out of his left leg and chest, with a wound the length of a chopstick at each area, burning like fire and giving him waves of stinging pain.

This was how terrifying the Dark Templars could be?

After giving a stifled snort, and gritting his teeth to dodge a few Knife Arista, Yang Ling took a deep breath after looking at his wound. He instantly cast the Ground Guardian, getting ready to stage a great counterattack and end the battle rapidly.

As a high-level Wizard Warrior, his body had been strengthened countless times. Even the Dark Dragon King’s giant claws were unable to leave a mark on his body. One could only imagine how physically strong he was! He did not expect that his physical body’s defenses would be broken by these invisible Dark Templars.

“Everyone, be careful. Don’t let this demon king get near you!” Yang Ling might have been shocked, but the many Dark Templars were shaken to the core.

The Full Moon Scimitars in their hands were made of top quality minerals mined from alternate dimensions. They were also blessed by every generation of Popes. Not only could it make them immune against low to mid-level Spells, but it also had the effect of being more damaging towards demons. Its killing power was far beyond the Curved Moon Blades that the ordinary Dark Templars use. At first, they had thought that having succeeded in the strike against Yang Ling, at least a leg of his would be cut off, or that the blade could pierce an organ, wounding him fatally. Unexpectedly, the blade managed to only scratch the surface of Yang Ling’s skin. While it looked bloody, but actually, there was not much harm done!

“Ion Storm, kill!” Seeing that Yang Ling had not only avoided a carefully planned ambush but had even severely wounded an invisible Dark Templar with his bare fists, the Light Templar Antonio was greatly shocked. He rapidly released terrifying lightning and commanded the many Dark Templars to surround Yang Ling completely.

“Hmph, I managed to stop the Lightning God Tribulation. I don’t believe I can’t stop these tiny snakes of lightning of yours!”

Looking at the Ion Storm descending from the sky, and looking at the many Dark Templars whose speed had been greatly reduced under the influence of the sixteen times Gravity Force and Ice-sealing Divine Domain, Yang Ling gritted his teeth. Ignoring the bolts of snake-like lightning, Yang Ling locked on to the soul pulse of another Dark Templar, then with a whooshing sound, Yang Ling charged over, breaking the Dark Templar’s ribs with a punch, and shattering his internal organs.

One, two... Using his hyper-speed and astonishing physical strength, he instantly caused five Dark Templars to lose their ability to do battle, causing many Templars to be shocked and angered! But, what surprised the Templars more was that when the Ion Storm enveloped Yang Ling, the expected cries of anguish were not heard. Then an astonishing thing happened!

They could only see that a mysterious symbol appeared on Yang Ling’s forehead between his brows. And immediately after, the snake-shaped lightning that blanketed the sky and earth tunneled into his body from in between his brows, completely disappearing in a blink of an eye. It was as if it had encountered the legendary wormhole, or as if it had met a terrifying Magical Beast and was being swallowed alive!

“A naturally born lightning body. How can this be?” Looking at the strange scene, the Light Templar Antonio paled in shock. He had thought that this time around, he could finally give Yang Ling, who had nowhere to hide, such a shock that he would be electrocuted to a pile of burnt charcoal. He did not expect Yang Ling to break through a sky full of lightning so easily. It was simply incredible and unimaginable!

“Hmph, 32 times Gravity Force. Go to hell, all of you go to hell!” Taking advantage of the moment of the Templars’ shock, Yang Ling spared no expense and exhausted large amounts of Wizard Power and Mental Energy, instantly increasing the Gravity Force to 32 times, launching a ferocious counterattack on the spot. One punch for each, killing every single invisible Dark Templar like the strong wind blowing leaves to the ground.

Even though Yang Ling could not see where the invisible Dark Templars were with his naked eye, he could rely on his powerful Divine Knowledge to easily lock on to their soul pulses. If not a smash of his fist to their chests, it would be a smash of his fist to their heads...Using incomparable force to break their bones and shatter their organs. The accompanying lightning damage served to render them completely unable to battle or move.

Monster, this was definitely an unprecedented monster!

Looking at the human-shaped murder weapon that was Yang Ling charging at him, and looking at the vague sparks of lightning surrounding his fist, the Light Templar Antonio turned tail and ran. As a powerful Low-level Deity, the enemies and powerful Magical Beasts that had died in his hands over hundreds and thousands of years were countless. But, he had never seen such a strange and terrifying adversary like Yang Ling.

His physical body was incomparably strong and was able to directly defend against the Dark Templars’ Full Moon Scimitars without an armor. He was able to smash a powerful Templar at the peak level of his Domain to death with one punch. He was extremely fast. He looked like a Warrior specializing in close combat, but his speed was faster than an Expert who trained in the Law of Wind. His body was even stranger, like the legendary lightning body, and could actually absorb lightning that blanketed the sky and the earth...

To Antonio, the so-called great demon king Yang Ling was a monster who was non-human, scarier than an evil demon from an alternate dimension! No wonder he could destroy over a hundred cathedrals of the Church in the South in a short period of time. No wonder he could completely destroy the majestic Saint Peter Castle!

Faced with this type of big demon king, Antonio retreated decisively! Even his best skill, the Ion Storm, did not seem to have any effect. He understood that if he stayed, he would definitely be courting death. He was going to run as far as he could!

Antonio’s speed was lightning fast. Having guarded the Space Crack on the Gold Coast for over thousands of years, he not only gained further understanding of the Law of Lightning, but he had also begun to gain an understanding of the Law of Wind. Not to mention anything else, at least his speed of fleeing for his life had increased. In a blink of an eye, he flew out like a gust of wind, hundreds of miles out, far away from the battlefield.

“A butcher, that definitely is a scary butcher!” Turning back to look, and seeing that Yang Ling was not in pursuit, Antonio finally heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of the many Dark Templars and the big group of Church Knights, he shook his head despondently. Even the residents of the capital could not escape death, not to mention the soldiers of the Church.

“Tsk tsk, you run faster than the Siberian Snow Rabbit. Unfortunately, you’re still too late!” Just as Antonio was leaning against the tree and catching his breath, getting ready to get a drink of water from the Space Ring to quench his thirst, suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air, and immediately following, Yang Ling emerged from the air, ruthlessly stabbing the sharp Blood Elf Dagger into his heart. “God says that he needs servants like you to serve him. Go and leave your Divinity behind. Go to heaven and serve your God!”

After leaving a mark on the soul of Antonio, who was panicking and fleeing for his life, Yang Ling leisurely twisted and broke the necks of more than a dozen Dark Templars. He then used a Teleportation Portal to teleport straight to where Antonio was, killing with a strike!
