Chapter 4554
Burning!
Rumble!
Golden flames boiled in Agares' shattered divine core. Ling Feng could clearly see the madness reflected in Agares' eyes, but he was powerless to do anything.
His remaining consciousness finally looked in Mio's direction, with a trace of regret on his face.
After all, he can't save anyone!
The runaway chaos vortex had swallowed up Agares' three pairs of light wings, but the power of Agares' self-destruction still erupted from the vortex.
In an instant, heaven and earth became dark, and the impact of destruction was enough to annihilate everything!
All that was left before Ling Feng's eyes was a brilliant and brilliant white, until the entire world finally lost all sound.
Is this what it feels like when death comes?
"Click——"
A tiny shattering sound suddenly resounded in the depths of the void.
In an instant, a huge bronze compass appeared in the sky above the ruins of Mingjian Peak. The twelve-hour scale was vibrating violently, and the water in the Huanxin Pond rolled back into a silver dragon, hovering in the air.
The whole world suddenly fell into a strange stagnation. Agares's furious roar solidified into a distorted reverberation, the exploded fragments of the divine core hovered in the void, and even the splattering blood beads were stilled into crystal rubies.
"Hey--"
A sigh was heard, and the next moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe stepped out from the void.
Click!
Click!
The sound of the middle-aged man stepping on the crystal wall of time and space was extremely crisp, and the time and space texture on his black robe was being annihilated and reorganized at an astonishing speed.
"Is it still too much of a stretch after all..."
The next moment, the middle-aged man stumbled out from the rift in time and space, his body wrapped in the fire of time, which was rapidly burning his lifespan.
Behind him floated a bronze sundial, the needle of which was rusting at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Damn it, even if it is the power of time delay, I'm afraid it won't last long in the face of the power of the shattered divine core!"
The middle-aged man's face was shaking slightly, his black hair was turning white quickly, and his face was aging rapidly.
"Then let me lend you a hand."
Another old voice came from the depths of the void. The middle-aged man turned around and looked, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
The person who came was actually able to transmit sound in his own time-delay hole.
And at this moment, I am clearly using all my strength to keep time still.
This also means that the person coming must be a priest!
"You...you are the Supreme Jade Emperor?"
Huang Long's eyes fixed, and he immediately asked in a deep voice: "Senior, have you finally come out of seclusion?"
"Hey...it's me."
The Jade Emperor sighed and appeared in the void.
The supreme leader of the Martial Alliance had white hair and beard, a bloody scar between his eyebrows, and his face looked indescribably... pale.
His retreat to reach a higher level did not succeed, and he suffered backlash from his priesthood.
But at this moment, he could only burn out the last of his divine power and choose to lend a helping hand to Huang Long.
"This junior has destroyed the Huanglong organization and greeted Senior Yuhuang!"
Chief Huanglong quickly bowed to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor raised his hand slightly, indicating that Huang Long did not need to salute, and then said in a deep voice: "How long can your time-delaying power last at most!"
"At most, ten breaths! No, if I burn up all my lifespan, maybe I can get fifteen breaths."
"Cough cough..."
The Jade Emperor coughed a few times and said in a deep voice, "Huang Long, listen carefully. I have been trying to break through to the second-level godhood in seclusion but failed, and was attacked back. Now, the star marrow of the ancient star spirit at the bottom of the Huanxin Pool is our last chance..."
"The power contained in the star marrow can help me mobilize my divine power again. Combined with your time-delaying power, there is still a chance to reverse the cause and effect of time and space."
Huang Long's expression changed slightly. "Senior Yuhuang, that kid used the Chaos Dantian to detonate eight major priesthoods. Adding Agares' priesthood, there are a total of nine priesthoods. Do you know the price to pay for reversing this cause and effect?"
"Haha, it's nothing but death!"
The void suddenly cracked into spider-web-like patterns, and half of the Jade Emperor's white hair turned into transparent crystal threads.
This martial arts alliance supreme who had been in seclusion for a hundred years had half a broken divine core embedded in his chest, and golden and red blood oozed out of the cracks: "This old man, his life is already coming to an end... Come on, you and I, we don't have much time to waste."
Before he finished speaking, cracks began to appear on the bronze sundial. It seemed that they were running out of time!
Huang Long clenched his fists, looked at Ling Feng, and took a deep breath. "Never mind, it's just another life of mine. I will never be able to shake the Judgment Council in my entire life. Ling Feng, I hope you can complete my unfinished business!"
Within the time-delay field, a tear fell from the corner of Ling Feng's eye.
Although he could not do anything, the power of the eight divine positions in his body allowed him to sense everything that Chief Huanglong and the Supreme Jade Emperor did.
"No... no!"
Ling Feng roared hysterically in his heart, but unfortunately, he couldn't make any sound.
Or, even if Huang Long and the others heard Ling Feng's roar, they would never stop.
They want to save more than just Ling Feng's life.
"Pfft!"
The Jade Emperor raised his hand and grabbed towards the Huanxin Pool. The star marrow of the ancient star spirit immediately rose from the bottom of the pool and fell into the palm of the Jade Emperor.
In just this moment, half of the Jade Emperor's white hair had turned to ashes.
As the price of acting within this time-delay field, every move he makes must also be paid with the cost of burning his lifespan.
"This is a star marrow of the ancient star spirit, which contains the powerful power of the original star spirit!"
The Jade Emperor stretched out his fingers and slashed the crystal, and the majestic power of the star spirit poured into the sundial like a dazzling galaxy.
Huang Long let out a muffled groan. The sundial, carrying a huge amount of star spirit power, actually had several more cracks on it. Even he could hardly bear it.
"That's enough, Senior Jade Emperor, this is no longer a force I can control!"
He gasped for air and gritted his teeth, "My power of delaying time can only stop time, but it cannot reverse the clock. Senior, I'm counting on you!"
"give it to me!"
The Jade Emperor glanced at the vortex of chaos surging in Ling Feng's chest, took a deep breath, raised his hand to absorb the remaining power of the star marrow into his body, and the next moment, a huge golden arm floated behind him and gently moved the pointer of the bronze sundial.
In an instant, the sundial pointer suddenly spun counterclockwise, the blood on the battlefield flowed back into the wound, and the shattered mountains rose from the ground again.
When the pointer passed the last grid, Agares's divine core just returned to its complete state.
"puff!"
Huang Long suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and the bronze sundial exploded: "Three! Two! One!"
When time started to flow again, Ling Feng's bone sword was still three inches away from his chest. He was shocked to find that there was an extra memory in the depths of his consciousness, which was a vision of death from the future.
At the same time, Agares also showed a look of horror and retreated madly.
Obviously, the memory just now also appeared in his mind.
After all, he is also a priest with divine powers!
The memory of his near-death suicide explosion left him with lingering fears.
"The Supreme Jade Emperor!"
For a moment, Agares's gaze was fixed on the Jade Emperor.
Similarly, he also noticed the weakness of the Jade Emperor at this moment.
"Somebody come!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The four great natural disasters and Hecarim were summoned, together with the holy guards and bishops around him, dozens of powerful men in total, flew to protect Agares at the same time, each of them was ready for battle.
"You old fool! You are not dead yet!"
Agares stared at the Jade Emperor, but did not dare to make any rash moves.
Although the Jade Emperor must be extremely weak at this moment, the "death" just now has made him more cautious and he dare not take any risks anymore.
What's more, the Jade Emperor has absorbed most of the power of the star marrow. If you gamble everything on it, there is still a chance that he will be buried with you.
Someone like Agares, who thinks himself superior, would never gamble his life if there was even the slightest chance.
"You're not even dead yet, how dare I die!"
A smile appeared on the old face of the Jade Emperor, and he immediately raised his hand and placed it on Ling Feng's shoulder.
The power of the seven sins that was running rampant in his body calmed down a little after being baptized by the power of the star marrow, but Ling Feng's current condition was still not optimistic.
As for Huang Long, although he was still able to stand, in fact, almost all of his strength had been drained.
"Do you think you still have a chance?"
Agares's eyes became colder than ever before. "Come on! Kill them! Kill all these ants!"
"Yes!"
The four natural disasters rushed out first. Although they were facing a priest, Agares always had his hands on their lives.
In other words, if they were killed by the Supreme Jade Emperor, they could still be resurrected with the power of Agares.
But if Agares took the initiative to abolish their status, they would never have a chance to make a comeback.
In an instant, dozens of truth practitioners simultaneously mobilized the power of their status and pounced on the Jade Emperor.
But the Jade Emperor just waved his sleeves lightly.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of practitioners of the Law of Truth vomited blood and flew out.
"Second-level priesthood!"
Agares' eyelids jumped suddenly. At this moment, the crushing power of the law displayed by the Jade Emperor had reached the level of the second-level priesthood.
According to the grade of the priesthood itself and the degree of integration and perception, the priests are also divided into four levels.
The first step is to initially integrate the priesthood and control the divine power, which is the third-level priesthood!
Going further up, it can be divided into second-level priesthood and first-level priesthood.
In the Priesthood of the Arbitration Council, most of the clergy are second-level clergy.
Only the top three are first-level priests.
As for Taiyi, he is an existence beyond the first-level priesthood and the only independent ruler.
It is precisely because of his existence that the priesthood is divided into four levels.
Of course, at this moment, the Jade Emperor had only relied on the power of that star marrow to barely touch the threshold of the second-level priesthood.
But for existences at the level of the four great natural disasters, this is already a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Do you think you can deal with me with these trash?"
The Jade Emperor smiled coldly, staring at Agares with his hawk-like eyes. His cracked palm suddenly condensed into the shape of an ancient sword: "Agares, do you recognize this thing?"
Agares stared at the ancient sword, his eyelids twitching suddenly.
His six wings trembled violently and uncontrollably, and a terrifying memory that spanned eternity came from deep within his divine core: "Heavenly punishment? Impossible! Even Ling Taiyue failed to inherit this power! It's absolutely impossible!"
"Is it possible? You can give it a try!"
The Jade Emperor's roar immediately caused a resonance between heaven and earth, and nine giant bronze pillars suddenly rose from the bottom of the Huanxin Pool.
The surface of each column has reliefs of gods pierced by chains, and every god has his chest pierced by an ancient divine sword!
The shape of that divine sword vaguely resembled the "Ten Directions Heavenly Punishment" of Ling Taixu, the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao!
Agares looked horrified.
If the Jade Emperor used the remaining star marrow power in his body to activate the Heavenly Punishment, perhaps...
He could really be killed on the spot!
Even if the chance was only one in a thousand, he would never dare to gamble!
"Either, fight me! Or, go back to your Purdue Academy now!"
The Jade Emperor roared loudly, and the whole world trembled!
Agares' eyes suddenly burst into blinding blood light. In countless possible times and spaces, he saw that there was perhaps a one percent chance that he would perish on this battlefield.
He clenched his fists tightly. After a while, the six wings behind him suddenly tore through the void and fled away, leaving only one sentence: "Taishang Jade Emperor, you'd better pray that you can live longer!"
Seeing that even Agares had escaped, Cardinal Snake quickly issued an order, "Everyone from the Purdue Church, evacuate!"
All of a sudden, the army of Purdue Academy quickly evacuated. The four natural disasters stayed behind and looked at the Jade Emperor vigilantly, fearing that this powerful second-level god would make another move.
With their strength alone, they cannot contend with such an existence.
"We can't let them get away like this!"
Ling Feng endured the severe pain of the Seven Sins' backlash and swung his sword, but found that the Holy Flame in the vortex of gluttony suddenly went out of control. The Pride Mark turned into a black chain and wrapped around his wrist, and the Jealousy Mist was corroding his optic nerves.
"puff!"
Under the backlash of the priesthood, a mouthful of blood gushed out again.
The Jade Emperor gently pressed his wrist and shook his head slightly, "This is already the best ending..."
Before he finished speaking, another crack appeared on the divine core on his chest.
The power of the star marrow was only temporarily sealed in his body, allowing him to forcibly exert the power of a second-level priesthood, but this was ultimately not his own power.
Being able to hold on until this moment is already the limit.
He was betting on Agares's fear of death, and now it seems that his bet was right. (End of this chapter)
