Chapter 559: Desolate Temple (Five Thousand)
Click, click, click.
The sound of ice crystals breaking became more and more frequent.
A few seconds later, there was a loud bang, and the ice layer attached to the surface of Irelia's body could no longer withstand the energy from the inside out, and it exploded. Accompanied by ice crystals and snowflakes all over the sky, Irelia's figure appeared in the hazy state.
When the snow dissipated, Irelia appeared in front of everyone again.
When seeing Irelia now, almost all the other women couldn't help revealing a hint of envy in their eyes.
The skin was as delicate as jade, without any flaws, smooth and soft, and even had a little bit of crystal luster, soft and warm. Although it was still Irelia, this perfect skin was enough to drive any woman crazy.
Even the angel Niafe couldn't help but look at her with envy. Even Philomena, a master at the peak of the Realm of Destruction who was much stronger than Irelia, didn't have such delicate skin.
The words "fragile as a feather" are the most appropriate to describe Irelia now.
The soft light emanating from her body made Irelia look even more holy at this moment, like a goddess walking out of a painting, so beautiful that she was beyond description.
Only two of the original twelve wings are left, and the remaining ten wings have disappeared.
After finally waking up, Irelia finally opened her eyes. The moment she raised her eyes, the whole world seemed to become brighter.
Irelia nodded slightly at Ron with a slight smile in her eyes, then turned around and walked towards the front left. That place was covered with ice and snow and was no different from other areas.
But after the awakening of the goddess blood in her body, as the descendant of the Goddess of Dawn, Irelia now has an extremely keen perception of all evil and filthy things. Even though the evil spirit Cassio has been temporarily suppressed by Bai Lan's seal, the leaked breath is still so foul between Irelia's nostrils.
Arriving in front of the seal, Irelia squatted down and placed a small hand on the snow. As her fingertips moved, drops of bright red blood like broken gems oozed out and fell on the snow. They gradually melted away, and the snow was like beautiful plum blossoms blooming out of thin air. The two wings behind her were facing the sky, and a hazy white light began to flash on every feather of the two wings.
The white spots of light are like fireflies at night. Even in the vast snowy field, the white light is still quite obvious.
The white spots of light were like snowflakes falling from the sky, landing on the snow little by little.
It was clearly just a very soft white light, but as soon as it fell on the snow, it immediately caused a strong wave.
Ahem! Deep in the snow, there was a mournful and painful cry.
Immediately afterwards, the thousands of feet of snowfield began to tremble violently with this roar. The movement at that moment was like the collapse of the sky and the earth, with a heart-pounding force.
Soon, a complex mysterious magic array emerged from deep in the snow.
That was exactly the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies secret magic formation that Bai Lan had set up earlier to seal the evil spirit Cassio.
At this moment, the formation seemed to be stimulated by something. One after another, complex symbols jumped out of the formation. The symbols trembled slightly, as if they resonated with Irelia's power.
That scene even made Bai Lan reveal a little surprise on his face.
But soon, Bai Lan realized that it was not the secret magic circle he had set up that resonated with Irelia, but the evil spirit sealed in the secret magic circle that was trembling with fear.
This scene made Bai Lan unbelievable.
That was the evil spirit Cassio, the most terrifying existence among all the recorded evil spirits. How could he be afraid of a legendary nine-star practitioner? Bai Lan was very sure that Irelia's strength was legendary nine-star. Although this White Saint did possess some special powers, Bai Lan had never entered the human world, but she had never lost her grasp of all kinds of intelligence in the human world.
Bai Lan had also heard of the name of the White Saint Irelia. It was said that this woman's strength increased very quickly. A few years ago, she was just an ordinary nun, but after the disaster in Larnaca City, Irelia seemed to have received some kind of strong stimulation, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds.
In just half a year, she crossed several realms, from a nun who was not even at the heroic level, to a legendary powerhouse.
In less than a year, it was promoted directly from legendary one star to legendary three stars.
When Bai Lan first met Irelia, her strength had risen to the legendary six-star level.
After activating the goddess' inheritance, he leapt into a legendary nine-star existence.
In the vast Dusk Continent, Bai Lan thought that his strength had improved extremely terrifyingly, but compared with Irelia, there was still a big gap and they were not on the same level at all.
The most terrifying thing is that it is said that although this White Saint has a peerless appearance, a graceful figure, and looks as gentle as water, she possesses an extremely terrifying power that can directly deprive the target of his life. No matter how powerful he is, once hit by the White Saint's magic, his vitality will quickly dissipate. Even if he does not die on the spot, he will die of vitality exhaustion not long after.
Now, with the addition of the inheritance of the Goddess of Dawn, the destructive power of the White Saint is bound to reach a higher level.
But no matter what, when facing Irelia, Bai Lan is still quite confident in his own strength.
Firstly, even though they are at the same realm now, she has stayed in this realm for a longer time and has more experience in manipulating the power of this realm.
Secondly, Bai Lan also accepted the inheritance of the God of Wilderness, and in this respect she is no less capable than Irelia.
But even though the evil spirit Cassio was sealed by the God of Wilderness himself, when this evil spirit saw the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations secret array that he used, he showed more anger than fear.
Why is he so scared now when facing Irelia's power?
Through the secret magic circle, Bai Lan could clearly feel the evil spirit's mood. That feeling was like a rabbit seeing a tiger, a mouse seeing a cat, and a venomous snake seeing a hawk...
That is the fear that comes from the deepest part of the evil spirit's soul and is rooted in the very nature of the evil spirit.
Seeing Ron with a smile on his face, Bai Lan suddenly understood why Ron brought Irelia with him. Perhaps, the Goddess of Dawn was the nemesis of all evil spirits in the sky and on earth, including the stars.
Even though Irelia is only the inheritor of the power of the Dawn Goddess, even though Irelia's strength is far from comparable to the real Dawn Goddess, and even though her power is quite weak, her natural restraint makes it difficult for the evil spirits to bear.
Points of light penetrated into the secret magic circle one by one.
Buzz! The entire Eight Desolate Six Combinations Secret Formation seemed to have suddenly suffered a violent impact, and it suddenly expanded like a balloon. Cracks appeared on the lines that outlined the Secret Formation. It seemed that the entire formation could collapse completely at any time.
Bai Lan knew that the evil spirits in the formation were unwilling to be destroyed and were trying to resist.
But this resistance was so weak. Waves of shrill wails continued to seep out from the secret magic circle. With every penetration of light, Bai Lan could feel that the evil spirit's resistance was decreasing.
The power of the evil spirit, the soul of the evil spirit, and the origin of the evil spirit are being weakened bit by bit.
Purification.
One of the most fundamental powers of the Dawn Goddess.
Purify all the filth in the world.
At some point, the wailing sounds from the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations secret array began to gradually subside.
…
Woo! Woo! Woo! The cold wind was like a sharp knife, cutting my face.
Even with the protection of magic, I could still feel the burning pain on my face.
On a vast snowy field, several figures were moving slowly, a man and six women, none other than Ron, Bai Lan, Bai Yuan, Niafu, Agnes, Irelia, and Philomena!
This is already fifteen days later.
There is nothing special about the destruction of evil spirits.
Cassio is very powerful, but after being weakened by Ron Zuwen's killing sword formation, his strength is less than one-third of the normal level. Bai Lan takes advantage of the chaos and attacks him, sealing him with the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies secret formation.
A suppressed evil spirit cannot cause much trouble.
Cassio tried to break free from the suppression of the secret magic circle, but Bai Lan was constantly reinforcing it and sealing Cassio completely for thousands of years. Bai Lan naturally couldn't do it, but constantly repairing the seal so that Cassio couldn't break it was not much pressure for Bai Lan.
With Bai Lan's assistance, Cassio could do nothing but continue to be suppressed by the secret magic circle and accept the purification of the dawn.
What's more, as the purification progressed, Cassio's resistance and struggle became weaker and weaker. In the end, even without Bai Lan's repair, the secret magic circle could easily suppress Cassio.
However, Irelia's strength is ultimately insufficient.
If she were the real Goddess of Dawn, not only would she not need help, but even if Cassio was in his strongest state, she would probably be able to completely evaporate Cassio from the Dusk Continent with just a glance.
However, when it came to Irelia's turn, things became quite troublesome. The entire purification process lasted for thirteen days, and Irelia even stopped to rest for a whole day to recover her magic power.
For Cassio, this feeling was definitely not pleasant, just like a blunt knife cutting meat, scratching his body piece by piece. The feeling of being worse than death lasted for thirteen days. Cassio finally met his true death, ending his sad life.
In comparison, Cassio would probably prefer to be killed instantly by the Goddess of Dawn rather than endure such painful torment.
After the evil spirit finally died, the group was not in a hurry to return to the fox girl tribe.
Bai Lan simply used message magic to convey the news that the matter had been safely resolved to the sisters in the tribe, telling them not to worry too much. Then she took Ron and a few others and began to head further north.
This was Ron's request.
Ron wanted to enter the Temple of Desolation and check the seal of the evil god in the deepest part of the Temple.
This time, the Orcs were able to successfully escape from the disaster of the evil spirits thanks to Ron's help. If it weren't for Ron, and Niafu and Irelia who were brought by Ron, even if the two siblings had obtained the inheritance of the God of Wilderness, they would not have the ability to seal the God of Wilderness.
Not to mention that Ron is Bai Yuan's lover, just based on this favor, Bai Lan would not refuse any request from Ron.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the North, there are two seals.
One is the seal of the evil spirit Cassio, and the other is the seal of the evil god.
In the tradition of the fox girl clan, once the seal of the evil spirit is broken, the entire orc tribe will be destroyed, and if there is a problem with the seal of the evil god, it may even cause a catastrophe for the entire world.
In theory, the seal of the evil god should be more important, but the clan leaders of each generation of the fox girl clan have focused more attention on the seal of the evil spirit, only because the seal of the evil god has been peaceful for eight thousand years, with no signs of damage at all.
On the contrary, it is the evil spirits that make trouble from time to time.
Of course, after learning the truth about the world from Ron, Bai Lan also understood that what was suppressed in the so-called evil god's seal was not an evil god at all, but the remains of the last Twilight King.
This seal is in the northernmost part of the North.
It is also the coldest place in the entire Orc territory.
The distance was not too far, but because the weather conditions were so bad, even though the group of people were all very powerful masters, the progress was very slow.
"We should be there in another half a day." After looking around and roughly determining his current location, Bai Lan spoke slowly.
The North is covered with ice and snow all year round. No matter where you go, the scenes you see are almost the same. It is very easy to get lost in such an environment. The temperature here is extremely terrifying. Ron judged that it was at least minus 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. Once you get lost in such a place, even a legendary master will not benefit from it.
The terrifying ultra-low temperature consumes a large amount of energy in the practitioner's body every moment.
Once the energy is completely consumed, the human body will be unable to withstand such extremely low temperatures. It won't be long before a stiff ice sculpture appears on the glacier. After a few more days, the ice sculpture will gradually be buried by the wind and snow, and no trace of it will be left.
The seal of the evil god is even deeper down. The temperature there is even lower than here, and even more unbearable.
At the same time, that place is also the site of the Temple of the God of Wilderness.
Although the Huangshen Sect is one of the seven orthodox religions, it is obviously different from the other six churches.
The headquarters of other churches often gather all the elite members of the entire church and have the largest number of believers. In addition to the headquarters, a large number of branches will be set up to spread the faith.
But the Church of the God of Wilderness is different. Apart from a headquarters, the Church of the God of Wilderness has no other messy branches.
Moreover, the church headquarters is not too luxurious or grand. It may barely be considered the tallest and most majestic building among the orcs, but in human society, any noble's private castle may be more luxurious.
At the same time, not too many members will be left in the church headquarters.
After all, this place is too cold, so cold that most orcs can't bear it.
Under normal circumstances, only the most basic believers who can ensure the normal operation of the church order will remain in the church headquarters, and the other believers will be scattered in different tribes.
As for why the church was set up in such a cold place... God knows.
That was eight thousand years ago, and the real reason has long been lost in the long river of time.
However, one thing is certain, the location of the church headquarters is largely responsible for the decline of the Wild God Sect.
The church headquarters is located in an overly remote location, which puts the Church of the God of Wilderness at a natural disadvantage in terms of its control over its believers.
In addition, there are too many different tribes within the Orcs, and for these tribes, the Pope's influence is far less than that of their respective tribe leaders.
The most important point is that there are constant conflicts among the orcs all year round. Where humans, elves, dwarves, and giants live, there are dragons to suppress them. Although there are occasional conflicts between countries, national wars rarely occur. Even if there are occasional conflicts at the national level, they will be quickly quelled by dragons.
It is under this deterrence that hundreds of countries have maintained peace for thousands of years.
However, the Orcs are different. Although there are hundreds of tribes, the entire Orcs are nominally one country. The Dragon Clan has always been indifferent to the civil strife between countries.
What's more, the life of the orcs is quite poor, and they simply cannot produce the wealth that would arouse the dragon's desire and make the dragon willing to spend it.
Therefore, the eight thousand years of history of the Orcs is also a history of war.
More than 90% of the tribes gradually disappeared in the years of war.
It is said that there are believers of the God of Wilderness in every tribe, and the God of Wilderness sect should call on believers to maintain peace at this time, but unfortunately, the Pope's orders are far less convincing to the orcs than the patriarch's orders, and the efforts made by generations of popes to maintain peace have not yielded any results at all.
There were even several cases where the patriarchs of powerful tribes assassinated the Pope because they thought he was too noisy.
A church that cannot protect its own believers, and cannot even protect the life of the Pope, is bound to decline.
From its establishment to its disappearance, the existence of the Wilderness God Sect may not have exceeded one thousand years. More than seven thousand years ago, with the fall of the last generation of popes, the Wilderness God Church ceased to exist.
Except for the fox girl tribe who still offer sacrifices to the God of Wilderness, other tribes have even forgotten the existence of the God of Wilderness.
The most exaggerated thing is that three or four thousand years ago, evil spirits came to the world and caused disasters everywhere.
The orcs were already on the brink of life and death, and it was the God of Wilderness who stepped in to kill and suppress the evil spirits that were wreaking havoc in the orc territory. But in the end, except for the fox girl tribe, few orcs were willing to believe that it was the work of the God of Wilderness. In order to consolidate his power, the contemporary orc king even shamelessly took credit for suppressing the evil spirits.
Click, click…
The soles of my feet stepped on the snow, making a sound like ice crystals breaking.
Along the way, Bai Lan told Ron and the others the history of the orcs, so it didn't seem too boring.
Although Ron knew very well that the God of Wilderness never asked for any reward or coveted any faith, but... in Ron's eyes, the entire orc tribe, except for the fox girl tribe, was simply a group of garbage that was completely unworthy of salvation.
For them, leaving them to fend for themselves should be the best outcome.
Bai Lan walked in front.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the long silver hair that hung down naturally swayed with it, and some hair ends hit Ron's face, making him feel itchy.
A section of snow-white neck was revealed under the long hair lifted by the cold wind. Bai Lan's eyes could be seen from the corner of the eye, as if they were made of condensed ice and snow, pure and clear.
Looking at an iceberg standing on the glacier in front of him, Bai Lan exhaled slightly, and the air he just exhaled instantly turned into tiny ice crystals.
"Over there is the Temple of the God of Desolation." Bai Lan said, pointing at the iceberg.
The long years of wind and snow had already submerged the Temple of the God of Desolation.
