Chapter 336: Ascetic
Lin Zhen's battle before Constantinople had far-reaching consequences.
In the face of the siege of three great masters, Yan Huang, Holof and Larex, he was able to kill Holof and Larex first, and seriously injured Yan Huang. People no longer have any doubts about Lin Zhen's fighting ability.
It is even possible to say that he is the first genius of mankind since the Divine Transformation Era. Some people have already made such a statement, but some people still disagree.
But there is one thing that makes people very worried. Larix has driven the Boundary Breaking Nail into Lin Zhen's body, which will continue to suppress Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi and prevent him from advancing. In this way, Lin Zhen will never have any hope of advancing.
And people didn't know where Lin Zhen had gone. Ever since he left Constantinople, Lin Zhen disappeared without a trace, and no one could find him.
People speculated that he went there to recuperate, but the world is so big, and no one would know if he was recuperating anywhere.
But what is certain is that Lin Zhen must still be alive, because after Lin Zhen killed Larix, he has been listed on the Dark Star List.
Larix was ranked 32nd on the Dark Star List. If Lin Zhen killed him, he would be ranked in the top 50 on the world's star list, which means he has truly advanced to the ranks of top masters.
As long as the ranking does not change, it proves that Lin Zhen is fine, which also makes many people who are worried about Lin Zhen feel relieved.
The Pope’s wedding did not take place, and the Vatican fell silent.
The turmoil of Country X withdrawing from the Divine Cult is getting more and more serious. Except for Ice City, there are almost no Divine Cult members in other major base cities. Originally, Country X had nearly 300 million Divine Cult believers, but now there may not even be 3 million left.
Although other countries have not withdrawn as thoroughly as Country X, the number of people is also increasing day by day.
The Divine Religion originally had one billion believers, but after being tormented by Lin Zhen for so long, the total number of believers may not exceed 300 million now.
Moreover, this number is still declining. I don’t know how long the cult, with only more than 200 million people left, can last.
As for Yan Huang's words about leading the people of the Divine Religion to conquer the world and conquer Country X, people sneered at them. If they couldn't even conquer Lin Zhen, how could they conquer Country X? It's better to forget about it.
Lin Zhen's parents returned to Ice City, and this time they were protected by the country.
The top leaders of country x announced that Lin Zhen’s family is protected by the state, and anyone who dares to harm them is an enemy of country x.
However, no one in country x objected to this privilege, and this is what Lin Zhen deserves.
Before, it was Lin Zhen who always protected them. Now that Lin Zhen is not here, it is their turn to protect Lin Zhen’s parents.
An Ning even handed over all the business on hand to the family. She moved to Lin Zhen's home and lived with Lin Zhen's parents, so that she could also take care of them.
There was no movement from the Vatican, Lin Zhen was nowhere to be found, and everything seemed to have quieted down.
******** In Constantinople, Yan Huang waved his arms a few times. After ten days of continuous treatment, his left arm finally recovered completely.
Although his arm recovered, the anger in his heart never subsided.
In this battle, their Holy See lost a great man. They didn't expect that he, Holof and Larix could not stop Lin Zhen even after joining forces, and even lost two lives.
Now he no longer hopes to conquer the world by any doctrine, he wants to rely on strength.
There were flashes of light in front of his eyes, and Shu Mingxuan's water mirror effect appeared in front of Yan Huang again.
"Are you okay with your injury?" Shu Mingxuan asked.
"I have fully recovered. Even if I face Lin Zhen again, I believe I can win."
"Enough!" Shu Mingxuan waved his hands in annoyance. Yan Huang's strength was indeed above Lin Zhen's, but so what? He still lost. When the power gap was not particularly large, the proportion of skills was very large. Lin Zhen was indeed a fighting genius. He killed his Holof clone and Larix one after another. Even Shu Mingxuan had to admit it.
"Let's not talk about Lin Zhen for now. He was hit by that boundary-breaking nail. It is estimated that he will never be able to advance in the future. Your task now is to quickly find him and conquer country x immediately. This is the top priority."
Shu Mingxuan was indeed very anxious. He contacted Xin Ou and Tuhua again yesterday. There were only a dozen days left before they came to Earth. If they arrived here and he had not made any achievements, then even if they gained a lot in the future, the credit would not belong to Shu Mingxuan alone.
Therefore, he must encourage Yan Huang to conquer Country X before Xin Ou and the others arrive. This is the most crucial thing.
"Master Shu Mingxuan, please rest assured. I will leave for Iceland soon."
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news. You can make the matter more serious, because when you were fighting with Lin Zhen, you forgot about the fact that the Church was going to conquer Country X. I heard that many people in Country X are even ready to unite to resist the Church, so you must get the support of those ascetics now."
Yan Huang nodded to show that he understood. He had also heard the news that there were indeed many masters in Country X who were ready to unite to fight against the Holy See, but because the Holy See had not taken any action, they did not move either.
However, there is no doubt that once the Holy See really launches an expedition to the East, a large number of warriors from Country X will rebel.
No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, Yan Huang will continue on this path.
After ending the call with Shu Mingxuan, Yan Huang drove the black ghost straight to Iceland in the northwest.
Iceland is located in the ocean and its area is not very large. Sea monsters often land here, so it is the most difficult place.
When the black ghost came over Iceland, Yan Huang even gasped.
A large group of strange fish are besieging a group of people.
Octopuses as tall as mountains, sharks larger than submarines, giant sea turtles weighing hundreds of tons, and countless fish of various kinds are all shocking to look at.
Among these sea monsters, the weakest one is at S-level. The giant octopus that Yan Huang saw was even a quasi-SSS-level mutant monster.
This thing is even more powerful than Ten Thousand Enemies. If it reaches land, it will definitely bring about a disaster.
Such a large group of strange fish are besieging more than thirty people in white robes at the foot of a volcano.
These thirty-odd people were all wearing white priest robes, but the robes were so old that no one knew what had happened, with patches on top of patches.
Everyone's appearance is somewhat similar, with long white hair and white beard, and they all look very old.
However, under the siege of these strange fish, the performance of these white-bearded old men was extremely shocking.
The old man who led the group was tall. When he saw the giant octopus rushing towards him, he simply put his hands together and said, "First team, get ready. Judgment of Light!"
The ten white-robed men on the left attacked together, the light energy elements on their bodies gathered together, and rushed towards the old man who was leading the group.
The old man was like a luminous body at this moment. The light on his body was getting stronger and stronger, like a supernova about to explode. He pushed the octopus with both hands.
The huge beam of light was three meters thick, and it destroyed everything it passed through, vaporizing everything, including the quasi-SSS-level octopus.
This move made Yan Huang dumbfounded. These old guys were too powerful.
Everyone is at least in the Star Realm.
There are basically no star cores in the early and middle stages, and the minimum is the seventh or eighth level star core.
Moreover, the star core stage is a minority here, and most people here are in the wandering stage.
Ranging from Meteor Level 1 to Meteor Level 9, Yan Huang saw that the tall old man leading the group had actually reached the Comet Level! Yan Huang was secretly excited, he didn't expect that there would be a Comet Level expert among these ascetics.
If you want to see a comet in the world, you can only look for it on the Sky Star List. There are basically no comets above the Dark Star List.
Moreover, these ascetics were obviously able to launch a joint attack. They were able to concentrate their strength through some secret method, so that they could easily kill quasi-SSS-level mutant beasts. Yan Huang believed that as long as they were given enough people and formed a posture, they might even be able to kill an SSS-level super mutant beast with one move.
After killing the largest mutant beast, those ascetic monks began to fight on their own and soon slaughtered all the huge sea monsters that had landed.
The tall ascetic monk dug out the crystal of the mutant octopus, then looked up at the sky, said nothing, and walked away with a group of ascetic monks.
Yan Huang hurriedly got off the aircraft and followed these ascetic monks.
None of those ascetic monks paid any attention to Yan Huang. After walking for about half an hour, they moved away from the coastline and came to a group of thatched huts.
There are more than a hundred huts in this area, and an ascetic monk lives in each hut. When Yan Huang walked here, no one paid attention to him no matter who he talked to. It seemed that these ascetic monks were all very busy.
They were either reciting doctrines, or meditating, or mending clothes, or preparing dinner.
Seeing that the ascetic monks were preparing to eat, Yan Huang hurriedly ran to the monks who were cooking and offered his services.
"Seniors, I am Yan Huang, the first Pope of the Holy See and the third Son of Light. Your life here is too hard. I will improve it for you."
As he spoke, Yan Huang took out things from his space ring. He had prepared a lot of meat, wine, dishes, etc.
But none of these ascetic monks even looked at his thing. Some even showed disgust and emitted flames, directly burning the piece of meat that Yan Huang handed to him into ashes.
After several failed attempts, Yan Huang finally learned his lesson and changed his gorgeous clothes. He wore the first set of old priest robes he had worn when he just became an adult. After more than ten years, this thing finally did not stand out so much among this group of old men.
The gazes of those ascetic monks towards Yan Huang softened a little.
It was time for dinner. There was only a bowl of water and some vegetables in front of each person. These ascetics sat there praying devoutly, and Yan Huang also followed them in praying.
After the prayer was over, Yan Huang was given a bowl of water and a piece of vegetable, which he chewed slowly.
Although the conditions were extremely difficult, Yan Huang knew that he had gradually integrated into this group of ascetic monks. By the time he proposed to march east, it might have a good effect.
