Chapter 1932 - 1922: The Western Pope is a Saint!
"Humph. Enough talk. If you can defeat me, then you have the right to stand and speak." As soon as the words were spoken, the old Pope Shi Suo suddenly exploded with an immense and scorching energy, blowing apart all the white cloth wrapped around his body. A rotten corpse emitting a foul stench appeared in the Dark Hall. It hovered mid-air, with demon flames soaring sky-high, resembling a Demon God.However, the aura released by the old Pope Shi Suo did not affect Shi Ka at all.
Swoosh~
The old Pope’s figure shot like an arrow, swiftly forming a cold gleam in the pitch-black hall. The target locked onto Shi Ka. The old Pope understood in his heart that only by displaying his strongest power and making the opponent submit could he have the right to speak. Yet, this time, challenging Shi Ka was no longer as easy as before. Around her was a faint layer of primordial energy. This energy seemed ordinary, but the power it unleashed was unbeatable. Even Lin Zifeng facing Shi Ka might not be able to defeat her.
"Lord Shi Suo, please don’t push me!"
Shi Ka’s brows furrowed deeply; she truly didn’t want to fight the old Pope. But the old Pope was aggressive and oppressive, pressing forward relentlessly, which was what she least wanted to see.
In the end, having no choice, she had to confront the old Pope head-on.
"Boom!"
The two first collided with their bodies primitively and fiercely. Brush. The old Pope Shi Suo flew back and skated over dozens of meters, while Shi Ka stood motionlessly, not even furrowing her brow.
In the vast and dark hall, time seemed to pause for a moment. The atmosphere became extremely heavy.
Because Shi Ka was no longer the Shi Ka of the past. Perhaps her cultivation was even higher than his own.
Swoosh~
Yet, the old Pope Shi Suo showed no sign of giving up, continuing to stride forward like a hurricane. Descending rapidly from the sky, his figure transformed into hundreds of blurred shadows.
Several hundred spatial orientations all aimed to attack Shi Ka.
But all this before Shi Ka was just a meaningless facade. Besides, she had no desire to fight him.
"Snap!"
The terrifying elemental power smashed a huge werewolf statue in the hall into powder. The elemental power palm swept past Shi Ka, yet she was completely unharmed, almost like a transparent person. The palm passed right through her body.
"You!" The old Pope was momentarily stunned. His eyes became somewhat complicated. Even though this palm wasn’t his strongest power, he had already seen the situation.
"What! Did you take the final step?"
"Lord Shi Suo. I think continuing to fight will benefit neither of us." Shi Ka’s cold face remained utterly colorless.
Then she turned to leave the Dark Hall.
"Stop!"
As soon as she turned, she was halted again by the other’s shout.
"Tell me! Did your Transformation Path succeed?"
Behind her, the old Pope’s voice was somewhat trembling. His lifelong desire was to take the Transformation Path and achieve a higher state, but it all remained a dream.
"Lord Shi Suo, you have already seen the truth. I don’t need to answer you verbally." She didn’t even look back.
Just as she was about to move her steps, a gust of chilling cold wind suddenly blew towards her back.
"Lord Shi Suo, please don’t push me any further!"
Suddenly, Shi Ka turned abruptly, delivering a fierce slap.
"Snap!"
A generally strong energy instantly struck the old Pope Shi Suo hard.
"Ugh ah!"
In mid-air, a miserable scream rang out, with fragments of flesh and drops of blood scattering. Shi Ka’s slap directly pushed him back into his original coffin. The lid closed. As he tried to rush out, another surge of primordial energy descended from the sky, fiercely pressing the coffin down. Finally, the old Pope’s voice expressed unwillingness as he was repressed back by Shi Ka.
At this moment, the face of Bright Church’s first Pope in three thousand years, Shi Ka, turned extremely unpleasant. Although she had reached an extraordinary level of cultivation, there was no sense of joy. Instead, she seemed more melancholy.
........
After leaving the Dark Hall, Shi Ka’s face remained cold as white frost. Defeating the old Pope brought her little joy.
Thirty years ago, when she was first taken into the Bright Church by the Pharaohs. The first skill they taught her was ’Survival.’ And over the years, she did indeed kill many people. Years of slaughter had made her heart extremely cold and numb. Even though she succeeded in embarking on the Transformation Path to achieve Saint. Until now, there was still no sense of joy.
Ten years ago, Shi Ka had the opportunity to become a Saint, but she ultimately chose the Transformation Path. Now, her cultivation could be said to reach the heavens. No one knew the level the Pope had reached today.
Walking into her palace, she arrived at her throne. Beside the throne was a Divine Staff. This was her weapon, an ultimate holy artifact, forged from all the holy artifact magical treasures she had collected over the years.
Sitting on her throne, her emotions remained extremely calm. Stroking the Divine Staff, her inner world was very solitary. She did not know what to say. But she longed for freedom, always fulfilling the Bright Church’s kindness in nurturing her.
Time passed silently...
A young girl in a black silk python robe walked in from outside the hall. She had a veil, her figure light and graceful. As she approached not far from the Church, she had a large scroll in her hands. The scroll was purple.
"Your Holiness, here is the information you need." The girl’s voice was crisp and joyful, very pleasant to hear.
At this moment, the Pope Shi Ka’s face was again covered with a cold purple gold silk veil. It was a metallic mesh, her appearance indistinguishable, her voice deep and similar to a man’s.
"Bring it up." The Pope said coldly.
"Yes!" The girl nodded without hesitation, stepped forward, and delivered the scroll. After Shi Ka took the scroll, she waved her hand for the girl to retreat. The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left the hall. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to glance at the Pope.
After turning over the scroll, it recorded all the information about Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng had destroyed the Divine Altar’s forbidden area, the Death Tomb. This event had already shaken the entire Bright Church. In just a few hours, all of Lin Zifeng’s information was grasped by the Bright Church.
"What fortune does this youth have, to achieve so much in just one year?" Her slender and dense brows furrowed slightly twice, and no matter how she looked, Lin Zifeng seemed to have too many suspicious points. From a common person, he suddenly leaped to such heights. In her case, it would have been impossible to achieve such success herself.
"Holy Hall?"
As she browsed through Lin Zifeng establishing the Holy Hall in Huaxia, her lips curled slightly. It was both surprising and exciting.
In her eyes, Lin Zifeng’s achievements were like her own reflection. Back then, she had also aspired to possess such domineering strength as Lin Zifeng.
Also wanted to accomplish great feats, but there were too many hindrances.
The ideal was full, but reality remained quite stark.
