Chapter 49: The Third Saint
The entire multiverse, countless civilizations, races, nations, and federations, all sapient beings, sings such a nightmarish horror.
It is the chaos that walks in the void, the symbol of destruction, the wreckage of civilization, the undead of heaven and earth, and the destruction of all things.
Under their erosion, no being is immune, the stars will dim, the light will dissipate, and even the world will collapse and be assimilated by it.
And the blonde sword-bearer saw the scene that was far away thousands of years ago.
The wrists and feet of the heavens that fell in the clouds, the touch of chaos that descended from the void of the universe—it was a behemoth that man could not imagine, roaming the horror of the world and the stars, the atmosphere shaken by its presence, and the heavens and the earth swayed by its will.
Also, a mediocre blade raised in the rain.
It was not a sword, but it was not a sword, it was a beam of light, a blade condensed by order, which broke through the rain, and the cold silver light shimmered between heaven and earth.
A weary swordsman held the blade of light aloft, his long hair fluttering in the wind and rain, his eyes staring at the black tentacles that squirmed in the sky, like an inverted mountain, and his body stood proudly.
"Chaos."
The calm voice, echoing with the rumbling thunder, the man said, "Stand back." ”
Then, with a swing of the blade, the light stretched endlessly.
The brilliant light flashed away, but it lit up the sky, countless silver lines spread in all directions along the trajectory of the blade, cutting the entire world in half, the atmospheric touch that was so huge that it surpassed the mountain peak was cut off by this trajectory in an instant, and the chaotic wind that collapsed blew away the clouds in an instant, but it was firmly bound in place by the chains made of silver lines, turned into a black ball, and then dragged to the earth.
When the illusion ended, Brandon Kaos closed his eyes, he lamented the suffering of the birth of the evil god, comprehended the mystery of the path of light, the blonde swordsman clenched his hands, and the incomparable power of precision was optimized, reconstructed, and sublimated in his body with his mind.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the realm of extreme intention.
"Congratulations."
On the side, Qiao Shuya, who disarmed the dragon hunting spear and let the Shenji siblings stand behind him, nodded slightly, and congratulated with a smile: "You have also achieved your ultimate intention." ”
Although the corners of the blonde-haired swordsman's mouth were raised, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the warrior with a fierce face in front of him: "Seeing you, a young man who is seven or eight years younger than me, but who entered the Extreme Intention earlier than me, congratulations on my entry into the Extreme Intention...... To be honest, my friend, I couldn't be happier. ”
Joshua shrugged slightly, skipping the topic, he turned his head to look at the remains of the Evil God Fragment - a wisp of green smoke that had not completely disappeared and said, "You also saw it?" ”
Although it is not explicit, the meaning is self-evident.
"Of course." Brandon nodded seriously, he opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "...... It never occurred to me before that the precursor of the evil god would also be a victim. Joshua, did you already know all this? ”
In the past of the blonde swordsman's understanding, the evil gods should be wandering in the void, unspeakable evil, they were born for no reason, and then destroy the world and civilization for no reason, and erase all the fruits of the birth of wisdom, but now, he knows the truth that he has never thought of before, which is indeed difficult for Brandon to accept in a short period of time.
Joshua also knew this, so he just shook his head and said in a calm tone: "Brandon, the sorrow of the mourners has nothing to do with us, the Microve world is not strong enough to pity other worlds. ”
The warrior's words were very direct, and the blonde swordsman was not stupid, so after sighing, Brandon also clearly recognized this.
But at this moment, the black-haired boy was on the side, pulling the corner of the warrior's clothes, and Joshua looked down at Rin, and then followed his finger to the corner of the sealing stone room.
The cobweb-like radiant cracks are silently expanding, and the sacred rune lines of the ancient period are spreading towards the entire stone chamber at an unhappy, but extremely determined speed.
The warrior could see that because of the destruction of the Evil God Fragment, the entire ruin also collapsed, and the sealing core that had lost its energy outlet channel was rapidly destroying itself, and it would not be long before this large area of ruins at the bottom of Mount Modes would completely collapse.
If it were an ordinary person, he should be extremely nervous and rushed towards the exit at this time, but the weakest person who is currently staying inside the ruins is also a golden powerhouse, so neither Joshua nor Brandon is in a hurry, the warrior just glanced at these cracks, and said with some interest: "I'm already a little tired from fighting with Heras, Brandon, I'll leave it to you." ”
And the blonde swordsman, who had just advanced to the extreme intent, felt that the whole world was clear, and the golden-haired swordsman who had a lot of details also wanted to try what kind of strength his current realm was, he laughed and agreed: "Leave it to me!" ”
Outside the sealing stone chamber, Verdani and the other golden powerhouses of the Seven Forces were waiting at the door of the Obsidian Gate.
When Joshua 'opened the door', ripped off an entire door panel and entered, the obsidian door entrance and exit were cut off by a layer of extremely tough energy shield, and although people from the outside could faintly see the flickering light inside, they could not perceive the energy fluctuations and sounds.
Not to mention the elite spellcasters of the Seven Yao Council, the White Tower of Guantian and the Imperial Royal Mage Association, the Eye of Caesar and the Fangs Adventure Team are elite ruins exploration teams active in the Eastern Plains, and their reputations in the industry are all superb, while the Stegosaurus Mercenary Group and the Blue Shield Mercenary Group are employed by the royal family of a country in the Xishan region, and their leaders are ranked among the top gold powerhouses in the entire continent.
Verdani herself, is the strongest level of war mage, she studied under the extreme spellcaster Nostradamus, there are a large number of cherished classics in the family to learn, and the assets of the Scarlett family also allow the purple-haired mage not to estimate the research funds like other spellcasters, but to conduct research according to their own preferences, the strength of this group of people, each alone can beat multiple ordinary gold levels, and has its own unique name.
But even so, everyone was helpless against this layer of energy shield, whether it was the 'Demon Breaking Cone' of the Heavenly White Tower, which specialized in breaking all kinds of sealing shields, or the 'Exorcism Wave' unique to the psionic people of the West Mountain, they could not affect this thin layer of translucent energy, and they could only watch the other side of the shield burst out with bursts of dazzling light that seemed to be the aftermath of the battle, and then looked at each other.
"Why can't we get in when those two little kids can get in?!"
A big man with a giant hammer scratched his head in wonder, he looked at the weapon in his hand that was already somewhat deformed, and cursed: "Shit, can't I even compare to two underage children?" ”
He was naturally talking about Hotaru and Rin - unlike the golden powerhouses present, the divine machines summoned by the warriors could even tear apart the spatial barrier, and the energy barrier naturally couldn't stop them.
After trying many times, and finally determining that he was really helpless, a mage from the Imperial Royal Mage Association also put down the staff in his hand, he turned his head to look at the big man, shook his head and said softly: "Child? They're not kids...... It was the Earl's weapon incarnation. ”
After finishing speaking, he stopped his companion from continuing to try to open the energy barrier: "Forget it, since the Earl of the Northland has entered, then no matter what is sealed inside, it will definitely be crushed to ashes." ”
This sentence was very convincing, and another golden powerhouse of the Royal Mage Guild thought about it, and also withdrew his staff, standing aside and waiting for the battle inside the stone chamber to end.
Along the way, except for the reliefs along the way and the rune circles unique to the Ancient Era, no one found anything worth collecting and studying, and some of the golden powerhouses had already believed Verdani's words, believing that the foot of Mount Modes was just a confining relic that sealed dangerous things. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and there are many remnants of the ancient era in the mountains of the western mountains, although most of them are normal ruins, but there are still some ruins with powerful demons or chaos monsters sealed inside, and there have been many big troubles when the adventure team explored.
"Damn, I thought I could make a big discovery!"
Led by the two gold-level spellcasters of the Royal Mage Guild, all the golden powerhouses present also gradually stopped tempting, and a swordsman wearing animal skin armor who seemed to have barbarian blood spit out half a bloody tooth from his mouth, and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that the first large-scale ruin in the North is actually a seal, and there are so many mad cultists, this time it is really a big loss." ”
Because of the raid of the Plague Cult, all the forces present suffered losses of various sizes, although the gold-level powerhouse did not lose much, but the backbone of the silver combat power suffered heavy casualties. It's okay that all of them are elite mage expeditions and elite adventure teams like Caesar's Eye, and the Blue Shield Mercenary Group and the Stegosaurus Mercenary Group can be said to have almost been removed, you know, the impact of blasphemy spider demons and abyss giant armor is not something that these mercenaries' shoddy battle formations can withstand.
And just as the teeth spit out by the barbarian swordsman who had been slightly injured fell to the ground, suddenly, a loud bang sounded, and countless cracks spread in all directions like lightning around the sealing stone chamber.
In an instant, sand and gravel flew and huge rocks mixed with steel fragments collapsed with a rumbling sound, and the barbarian swordsman was dumbfounded, he looked up at the already crumbling stone top, and muttered, "Won't it?" My teeth are so bad? ”
Although he joked on his lips, how could the golden swordsman be frightened by this kind of thing, only to see a sword light, a few falling boulders immediately turned into dust, and were blown away by his fighting spirit, and the other golden powerhouses also used their own skills to resist the mountain of Modex Mountain, which was collapsing downward, and ran towards the entrance.
The golden powerhouses are not afraid of landslides, even if they are buried inside the mountain, they can dig a passage, but no one likes to be buried.
Verdani stood in front of the stone gate, she did not retreat with those golden powerhouses, but stubbornly waited for her husband's return, of course the purple-haired mage knew that with the strength of Brandon and Joshua, as long as they were not legendary powerhouses, no character in this world could stop them from joining forces, but Verdani was still faintly uneasy in her heart, wanting to see the blonde swordsman appear in front of her eyes.
The next moment, her wish came true.
A cyan sword light shot up into the sky like a mighty river, and with a single blow, it pierced through the energy barrier that more than a dozen golden powerhouses had been unable to break through for a long time, and from the bottom up, it broke through the Modes Mountain, forming a direct passage to the outside world.
The other people who were affected by the sword light along the way, but they were not harmed by this terrifying power, and the subtle energy flow perfectly avoided everyone, sweeping away all the gravel dust, and then, it lifted upward, and a huge vibration sounded, when a gold-level powerhouse looked up, he was shocked to find that the cloudy sky of Moldova had appeared in front of him, and the moonlight in the middle of the night fell from a huge crack in the clouds, which happened to shine on Mount Modex that was divided in two.
A sword splits the mountain!
Taking advantage of the scene in his mind where the Third Saint divided the world and cut off the tentacles of the evil god, Brandon exerted all his strength, and with the extreme skill and meticulous mastery, he slashed the entire Modes Mountain and the collapsing ruins in two with a single blow, cutting out a passage.
Following the footsteps of the blonde swordsman out of the sealing stone room, Joshua didn't care about Brandon who was hugging the purple-haired mage, but walked slowly on the smooth stone path shaped by the sword light with Hotaru and Rin.
【Atmospheric Evil God】
The warrior pondered what he had learned from the environment.
The tired man who claimed to be the Third Saint, though only a few words, revealed more information than Joshua had imagined.
First of all, there is the number of evil gods.
Starting from Nolan's strongest evil god, the No. 1 ranked [Abundance], to the undetermined No. 13 [Atmosphere], the Mycrof civilization in the Glorious Age has seen at least thirteen different evil gods and fought with them.
Secondly, there is the Chaos Research Institute, which has been delayed for the future.
From the mouth of the Third Saint, it can be known that on the Microf Continent at that time, there was an organization specializing in the study of chaos and even evil gods, and the reaction speed of this organization should be very fast, but after the seal left by the Third Saint was even built into a large seal by the latecomers, the Chaos Research Institute still did not arrive and could see that there must have been some accident on the way, so that the fragments of an evil god were not properly kept, but hastily left in the Northland.
Finally, there is the Third Saint himself.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but subconsciously touch his chest, the Azure Orb that had been integrated into his body.
A long time ago, a fragment of history from the systematic identification appeared in his mind.
- Thousands of years ago, the Sage found the Azure Orb buried in the mountains in the depths of the Bottomless Abyss, and He gave it to the Third Saint with the mission of calming the tide of chaos and sealing the entrance to the Abyss. Since the Lost War, the Azure Orb has lost its sight to the world, but the legacy of the Keeper of Chaos continues silently.
The Azure Orb and the Chaos Warden are the inheritance left by the Third Saint, and Joshua himself can even be said to be the current inheritor of the Third Saint.
"Is it a coincidence?" The warrior asked himself in his heart.
But before he could continue to think about it, Qiao Shuya suddenly found that the Azure Orb in his heart suddenly had a resonant reaction.
The warrior subconsciously turned his head to look at the Seal Stone Chamber and Brandon, which had been torn in half, but soon, he immediately realized that the source of the resonance was not the blonde swordsman and the seal, but in front of him.
Joshua turned his head, he looked not far in front of him, the light blue space-time fluctuations were slowly spreading around, and a holy light passed through the rippling space-time.
A white-haired old man with a pale and kind face, holding a pure white scepter that radiated a warm glow, appeared in front of Joshua like this.
"No see, Joshua." In a gentle tone, he said, "You're getting stronger again. ”
The Church of the Seven, the current Pope Iger, came to the Northland.
