Chapter 490 The Dragon God Descends (Five Thousand)
The energy required to break through the realm of destruction is an astronomical figure.
Yashburn's breakthrough relied on the energy in Zhou Yang's left arm. Ron was unwilling to plunder Zhou Yang's already limited energy, so he could only plunder it from other places. In this case, Ron's body became the largest magnet in the entire Dusk Continent, and the energy of the entire royal city was mobilized at this time.
The situation of the Church of the Heart of Nature is naturally even worse.
All the energy inside and outside the church was instantly plundered. In a split second, even the people living in the church could feel a strong sense of suffocation.
But even so, the energy is still far from enough.
Although energy was being forcibly drawn in from all around, the speed at which the energy gathered was far slower than the speed at which Ron absorbed it. Ron's body seemed to have turned into a huge black hole. No matter how exaggerated the energy that gathered was, it could not be filled at all.
In this case, one can only plunder from other practitioners.
Ron had already told Isabel before to take her people away from the church headquarters.
At the church headquarters, the number of clergymen exceeds ten thousand, and only a few hundred of them are loyal to Isabel... Although Isabel has the title of a saint, to be honest, in the church headquarters, Isabel is just a force that cannot be any smaller. Any archbishop has more vassals than this number.
Isabel is the typical type of person who has a loud voice and a high position in the church, but has no real influence.
Of course, this does not mean that Isabel is stupid or incompetent.
It was simply because the Marcelino family had controlled the Church of Nature's Heart for too long. Before Patrick became a saint, the Marcelino family had already completely controlled the Church of Nature's Heart.
Passed down from generation to generation, one can imagine how exaggerated the influence of the Marcelino family in the church is.
Perhaps, the Marcelino family has not yet extended its tentacles to those church branches in the more remote areas of the Spang Theocracy, nor does it have the energy to do so, but the Marcelino family absolutely has the final say when it comes to the church headquarters.
In the entire headquarters, more than 90% of the clergy are die-hard fans of the Marcelino family.
This time, the reason why the incident of Ashburne caused such a big stir was that, on the one hand, what Ashburne did was indeed not decent, and on the other hand, the nobles and the royal family, in order to weaken the influence of the church, interfered and provided support behind the scenes, constantly adding fuel to the fire, causing the incident to become bigger and bigger.
Otherwise, with the less than one-tenth strength of the opposition at the church headquarters, let alone making such a sensation, it would be lucky if Marcelino didn't seize the opportunity and crush them to death.
Of course, although these people are Marcelino's opponents, it does not mean that the relationship between them and Isabel is very good.
They just pushed Isabel out, purely relying on Isabel's reputation, using this incident to oppose Marcelino, taking the opportunity to stir up trouble and gain more benefits for themselves.
In some ways, the opposition's behavior is even tantamount to pushing Isabel into the fire pit.
It can even be said that some of the things these opposition groups have done are even more disgusting than Marcelino.
In the eyes of these opponents, a dead Isabel was more valuable than a living one. Once Isabel died, no matter how she died, it could be blamed on the Marcelino family. If she committed suicide, it could be said that Isabel could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide in anger. If she was murdered, it would be that Marcelino assassinated Isabel in order to protect his son.
For this purpose, these opposition members even arranged some assassins to try to kill Isabel.
However, Isabel herself was quite strong, and she had the assistance of some experts around her, so she ultimately prevented the opposition from succeeding.
But since then, the relationship between these oppositions and Isabel has become hostile.
That's right, so during this retreat, Isabel simply abandoned all these opponents, and did not take anyone else with her except a few hundred nuns who were loyal to her.
Today, there are more than nine thousand clergymen loyal to Marcelino and opposition clergymen living in the church headquarters.
The movement of hundreds of people was just a trivial matter for the huge church headquarters, and no one even paid too much attention to it.
However, for these more than 9,000 people, it was truly unlucky.
Just about two months ago, the Pope, the Saint, and the Son of God disappeared at the same time. No one knew what these big guys were going to do. They were just told that everything should go according to plan.
Although these people were a little confused, they felt a lot more relaxed without the suppression from the Pope's Grand Saint and the Holy Son. They even lived a pretty good life. The opposition would not miss this opportunity and kept making small moves.
Originally, everything could be considered calm.
But today, something unexpected happened.
The originally peaceful church was suddenly disturbed by waves of violent tremors. The low roar and the violently shaking earth were like a dragon turning over. Even these powerful practitioners felt creepy.
What is even more strange is that this abnormal situation only occurred at the church headquarters. Once you leave the huge royal city of the Church of Nature's Heart, everything is calm.
No one knew what had happened. Only some high-level members were worried because they knew some inside information. It was said that an evil god was suppressed underground in the church headquarters. Could it be that the evil god was about to break the seal? That would be too scary.
As night fell, the violent tremors finally died down. But before the clergy could breathe a sigh of relief, the church was suddenly torn to pieces.
The clergy in the church were terrified by this scene.
No one knew what this meant. Was it a punishment from heaven? Was it God's punishment for the church's thousands of years of wrongdoing?
Some people prayed in fear, while others turned and ran with distorted expressions on their faces.
But it's no use.
Before these clergymen could leave the church, the real disaster struck. A huge vortex appeared above the church, madly devouring the energy of the entire royal city. This vortex was like the most greedy glutton in the world.
In the vortex, thousands and thousands of densely packed, thin and long tentacles grew out.
Like a giant octopus.
Dense tentacles spread out in all directions, wrapping around the priests who had no time to dodge. Then, in just a few seconds, the bodies of these priests quickly shriveled up.
Before long, the huge headquarters of the Church of the Heart of Nature was covered with a thick layer of mummies.
Death, death, death.
There were sharp and abrupt screams, and bodies lying motionless on the ground.
The originally holy and noble church has completely turned into a hell of death at this moment.
Countless gray-black souls floated out from the corpses. Wailing, screaming, and hoarse and sad voices echoed in the ears of everyone in the royal city above the church. Then, even these souls could not escape the amazing attraction of the vortex. They were sucked in and devoured, squeezing out the last bit of energy.
The royal palace.
King Barumong and Balk, the patriarch of the Copperfield family, stood on the roof, looking at the scene in the distance, and both of them were shaking.
They had already left the underground palace with Irelia, Simmons and others. They wanted to escape, but they didn't have the courage to do so. Ron was not Yashborn... It was obvious that Ron was stronger than Yashborn.
Moreover, Ron is also known as a prophet.
That's a prophet.
Trying to play tricks in front of the prophet, what's the difference between this and courting death? I'm afraid that before I even had that thought in my mind, Ron had already noticed it in advance, right?
Even though they were all legendary high-star warriors, the top existences in the Dusk Continent, when facing Ron, they still couldn't control the strong feeling of powerlessness in their hearts.
They didn't know why Ron kept them here, and they were terrified, but they could only endure the fear and continue to stay in the royal city.
Balke came to discuss the next steps with Barumong, but before he could say a few words, changes had already occurred in the church. Looking at the huge vortex that enveloped the entire church, both of them turned pale.
That scene was really too horrifying.
Even though they were at a long distance, the aura released from the vortex still made their scalps tingle.
Boom! At this moment, thunder suddenly exploded in the sky.
Tree-like lightning tore through the original darkness.
The blinding brightness flickered in the royal city.
Thunderbolts crisscrossed the air, as if the thunder god in the sky was furious and continuously brought down despairing divine punishment.
Along with the dazzling lightning, giant pythons appeared out of thin air. Each of them was hundreds or thousands of meters long. They were like huge monsters that only appeared in the ancient wilderness. They twisted their bodies at will in the air, as if they wanted to devour something.
This giant python that appeared out of nowhere even made Barumong and Balke feel a fear that came from the soul.
Their eyes widened and they felt like their scalps were about to explode... No, that's not right, that was not a giant python.
Those were dark red chains one after another.
Whoosh! The chain stirred up a violent wind and was submerged in the whirlpool.
Barumong and Balk looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this be the existence that the strong men in the Destruction Realm had to face? Suddenly, they felt that they were not so eager to face the power of the Destruction Realm.
The other side.
In the underground palace.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Niafu was still guarding Ron. She was protecting him and preventing him from being disturbed by other beings at the critical moment of breaking through the realm of destruction.
As for Ron, he was still standing quietly on the ground. Even the expression on his face did not change at all. His breathing was even, as if the chaos outside had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Ron's consciousness was already in another area.
Before this, Ron had already learned about the seven illusions and the chains from Christian, Arianna and others.
He knew what he would encounter in the process of breaking through the realm of destruction, but this was the first time he had to face it in person.
Ron's soul was resting on the top of a mountain. Between the rolling mountains was a lush forest. According to the information he had, this should be a killing illusion.
It won’t be long before countless killers swarm out of the mountains and forests.
By then, corpses will cover the entire forest, and blood will gather into an ocean. The bloody smell and the wails of death will constantly stimulate the souls of the trial-takers, and eventually make them immersed in killing and unable to extricate themselves.
Mind and nature.
This is the most important point of the seven-level illusion test.
Never let your mind get lost at any time. Once your mind is lost in the illusion, at best you will fail to break through, at worst you may even be immersed in the illusion and unable to extricate yourself.
There are billions of living beings in the Dusk Continent. During the long period of eight thousand years, countless talented people have appeared among these billions of living beings. Among them, there are countless people who can reach the level of Agulal. There is definitely a large number of people who try to break through the seven-level illusion and cut off those shackles.
But so far, the only ones who can truly step into that realm are blasphemers, sages, elven high priests, and...Ashburn before.
Among them, it seems that the only one who truly broke through by his own strength was the Blasphemer.
Saint, Ashborn relies on the power of the last Twilight King.
The elven high priest Heferson relies on the power of the evil god.
These powers not only enable them to break free from their shackles, but also sustain their spirits so that they do not collapse in the illusion.
And at this moment, Ron did not rely on any external force.
Rustling.
The assassin hidden in the forest has not appeared yet, but the rustling sound has quietly penetrated into Ron's ears through the air. He doesn't want to wait any longer.
His soul was rippling gently, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his lips opened slightly:
"Dragon God Possessed!"
This is just an illusion.
Here, Ron can freely and freely exert his power.
Possessed by the Dragon God, the most powerful skill attached to the Dragon God's Eye Scepter.
This skill can only be used seven times in total.
In the real world, Ron had never used this skill, because this skill would cause an extremely terrible burden on the user's body. This was to guide the power of the Dragon God to descend upon his body, so that he could possess the power of the Dragon God in a short period of time.
One can imagine the requirements for physical strength in order to bear the power of the Dragon God.
Even though Ron's physical strength has always been quite amazing, if the power of the Dragon God really attaches to him, his body and even his soul will collapse instantly. Not to mention using it to destroy the enemy, he won't even know how he died.
But here, Ron doesn't have to worry about this problem at all. This is just an illusion.
Ang! Just as Ron's voice fell, a sad dragon roar suddenly came from the sky above his head.
Ron swore that it was the most exaggerated, violent, and heart-pounding sound he had ever heard in his life. The moment the dragon's roar appeared, the mountain under his feet began to tremble violently, and the entire mountain range seemed to sway with it.
In the forest, the leaves rustled.
The mountain walls seemed unable to withstand the pressure that appeared out of nowhere. They crackled in the middle with a crackling sound. Under the violent tremors, huge rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain.
Ron just casually glanced at the situation around him, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above his head.
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the sky.
It was clearly just a pure soul, but at that moment Ron felt goose bumps all over his body. His soul was trembling. What did he see? What kind of existence was that?
Dragon God.
Unlike the western dragons in the Dragon Valley, the dragon god that appeared above looked more like the divine dragon in the eastern legend. His body was slender, like a terrifying giant python several hundred feet long, and golden all over. Even in this gloomy space, each scale was shining with dazzling golden light.
It is like the most beautiful sculpture in the world, and there are absolutely no words to describe or praise it.
On the abdomen, there are silky dragon claws that are as sharp as knives.
The slender dragon's tail swung freely in the air, and wherever the dragon's tail passed, the space was cracked.
Further up, there are two majestic dragon horns.
The dragon head below was actually a huge skeleton, with only white bones and some rotten flesh stuck on them.
The eye sockets were like two huge caves, flashing with an eerie scarlet light.
The image of the Dragon God was exactly the same as what Ron had seen in the Temple of Dusk before.
Obviously, for Ron, more than two years have passed since the Temple of Dusk, which is not a short period of time. However, for a being like the Dragon God, it is just a blink of an eye. Such a short period of time is not enough for the Dragon God to recover from his physical injuries.
Ang! There was another dragon roar, and the Dragon God's body suddenly spun in mid-air, then swooped down.
The bloody mouth opened wide and swallowed Ron's soul into its stomach with a whoosh.
The next moment, Ron could clearly feel that his soul was rapidly merging with the phantom of the Dragon God! Chapter 2 (End of this chapter)
