Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 623 The Final Battle at the Summit of the Heavens
What Mastert, the "Crown of Chaos," was unaware of was...

Quesanx the dragon—Quesanx has been elevated to the status of a "demon god" of "authority," and is immune to all attempts to weaken or control him.

Even "authority" is the same—it has absolutely no effect on Quesanx!
Masterth thought that the [Divine Riding Heaven] he had activated should have completely sealed off and brought the surroundings to a standstill. But Quesanx had already anchored himself to him—only Quesanx deliberately restrained his spirituality and remained motionless, as if he had truly been "time-stopped" and "frozen."

That did indeed deceive Mastert, making him believe that the dragon Quesanx was no longer a threat in the short term, thus leading him to prioritize attacking "Saintess" Franya.

When Mastert turned his back to Quesanx, he and Rosh unleashed the long-accumulated [Destructive Surge] at Mastert!
--boom!!!!!!!

A surge of intense crimson light intertwined with the sacred and dazzling holy light, churning across the sky.

Through Luo Xiu's piercing gaze in the thick fog, he saw that Mastert had sustained injuries.

Under the clash between the angels and Quesanx, even the truly "strongest" Black Pillar was inevitably put at a disadvantage.

The power of numbers! .jpg
In fact, based solely on the stats of "Demon God" Quesanx, he is enough to go toe-to-toe with Mastert.

While in the "Holy Wing Incarnation" state blessed by the "Pilgrimage to Heaven," Luo Xiu's all attributes and "Holy Light" attribute damage also received a significant boost. Furthermore, ten "Four-Winged Angels" merged into his Holy Wings, serving as the source of his power, thus increasing his strength several times over from its base level.

At this moment, Luo Xiu, although he has only just advanced to the "Seventh Destiny Path", is already capable of contending with the "Crowning Crown" Mastert.

This is the “Lord of Lightwing” – the most powerful hidden class in the Sevenfold Fate Path, and its terrifying nature.

No other profession possesses the ability to summon a mob like the "Lord of Lightwing," while also transforming the summoned angels into their own power, and combining this with the "Holy Wing Avatar" to achieve a terrifying leap in strength.

This was first evident in the "Holy Winged Envoy," and reached its peak in the "Lord of Light Wings."

At this moment, Luo Xiu held the scepter, and a gray-white spiritual light with gold emanated from his body. Just a moment before Mastert blasted the chaotic light surge toward them, he deployed the shield barrier of "Creator of All Things," Amber.

The shield provided by the "Holy Wings Avatar" allows one to withstand a chaotic attack from "Chaos Crown" Mastert without taking damage; and the power of the "Holy Gate of Audience" fused within the "Holy Wings" can trigger up to 40% damage reduction.

Luo Xiu's "Holy Gate of Audience" ability comes from [Pilgrimage to Heaven]. Mastert's question—how Luo Xiu appeared instantly in front of "Saintess" Franya—stems from this ability.

Luo Xiu had gained even more abilities. As he raised the scepter to Mastert, a dozen or so rings of intense light appeared at the edge of the surging waves of light surrounding Mastert.

--boom! ! !

—Boom! B ...

From those dozen or so rings, another surge of annihilating light blasted towards Mastert, while the angels circling around him launched a relentless and fierce attack. Gradually, the profound spiritual energy emanating from Mastert was completely shaken away, leaving only a surge of deep red and brilliant gold light.

……

Behind Luo Xiu.

Franya watched his retreating figure—her eyes held confusion, bewilderment, and relief, but even more so, a powerful, uncontrollable shock welling up from the depths of her heart.

She saw something she couldn't comprehend—that Luo Xiu was actually able to overpower the "Crow of Chaos" Mastert!
—He overwhelmed the truly "strongest" black pillar, that Mastert!
Among the "Seven Fates" saints that Franya could contact, probably only the "Dragon Blood Knight Commander" Demosth could suppress Mastert in a direct confrontation.

Even his own teacher, the "Supreme Sword" Monine, couldn't suppress Mastert. Even with the dragon Quesanx as an aid... the power he displayed was still utterly shocking and terrifying to Franya!

Even though the power was filled with the sacredness of [Radiance], Franya still felt terrified. However, she was also deeply grateful that Luo Xiu was a saint of the "Holy Court," a comrade she could entrust her back to, rather than an enemy she was facing.

"..."

These thoughts raced through my mind.

Franya clenched her fists and raised the scepter.

Luo Xiu once again created a safe environment for her, which allowed her to further deepen and expand the sacred realm of [Unforgivable Manifestation].

"To allow them to repent during the declaration of amnesty is divine mercy;"

Franya murmured a blessing, beginning a new and sacred prayer—

"Let them sink into despair through repentance. This is the sacred price."

"Let them perish in depravity. This is the divine atonement!"

……

—Buzz!!!!

It was during Franya’s increasingly steadfast prayer that the seven overlapping holy rings that anchored and pierced the “skull seat incarnation” Batel, their outlines and interiors, burst forth with dazzling and brilliant light!
The suppression of the "Skull Incarnation" Batel became increasingly fierce. At first, one could see the crimson spirituality surging like flames on the outline of his body, but now that crimson color had completely disappeared, leaving not a trace.

The pressure on Battier has thus become even more intense!

"--you!"

Through the overlapping golden mist, Franya could vaguely see that Batel's expression was becoming increasingly distorted; the muscles on his face were twitching grotesquely as he roared at the sky like a wild beast.

"I'm going to kill you all... I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to wipe you all out!"

For Batel, the "incarnation of the skull," it's difficult for his emotions not to get out of control.

When he saw the "Crow of Chaos" Mastert, he thought he would be freed—but Mastert was suppressed by the "Archbishop" Rosh Carlos, and he was even at a disadvantage!

With red eyes, Batel watched the scene unfolding in the sky.

He felt the same terror, knowing that if he were in the sky at that moment, and were enduring such a terrifying bombardment, he might not have fared much better than Mastert.

However, being the strongest "Pillar of Darkness," Bartel knew that Mastert still had other tricks up his sleeve—

Buzz! ! ! ! !
Even as Bartel was thinking this, a chaotic tremor erupted in the sky. Whether it was the destructive surge unleashed by the dragon Quesanx, or the holy light surge unleashed by the angels and the "Archbishop" Roshu Carlos, all of these, which did not originate from the spiritual surge of "Chaos Crown" Mastert, froze in an instant.

……

Above the heavens, at the center where spirituality is stagnant
That was the Chaos Sword wielded by Mastert—

The demonic sword blade, shrouded in a deep, dark light, had already "opened," with countless tiny blades spiraling around the spine and unleashing an extremely strong suction force outwards.

The suction force, like a storm, caused visible spiritual energy to surge and rush towards the spine of the sword—

That was the authority wielded by "Chaos Crown" Mastert—a Tier III authority belonging to the [Lost] Fate Path, [Chaos Shift]. Its effect was to nullify all surrounding heterogeneous spirituality and "absorb" it into the Chaos Demon Sword, transforming it into power to replenish Mastert's own.

That can be seen as a superposition of a "nullification" authority and a "restoration" authority of extremely high rank.

Once the [Chaos Shift] is completed, all the light surges that were hurtling towards Mastert will be transformed into healing for him—and the excess portion will even be transformed into the chaotic spirituality of the demon sword, giving the surrounding angels, as well as that "archbishop" Rosh Carlos, a powerful counterattack!

However, this is only a theoretical possibility.

Under the gaze of Batel below, and also under the gaze of Mastert facing him, he simultaneously saw a smile appear on the face of the "Archbishop" Rosius Carlos.

As Mastert raised his demonic sword, Luo Xiu also raised his right hand.

A dazzling golden light instantly appeared on the back of his hand, and a scepter was slammed out along with the scepter of the "Chaos Crown" Mastert!
That's the [Radiant Holy Seal]!
——Buzz!!!

A buzzing sound erupted in the air, and behind Luo Xiu, two even brighter rings appeared, one above the other. The other [Radiant] authority, which had already completed the prayer, was released from the tip of the scepter!

The overlapping rings floated rapidly in mid-air, quickly binding Mastert's demonic sword. Their divine essence completely sealed off the spiral of division, precisely severing the inner and outer spiritualities from each other—

--boom!!!!!!!

Under Mastert's bewildered gaze, the alien spirituality within the demonic sword in his hand exploded within the sword's spine before it could even be transformed due to incompatibility!
Although the power of this explosion was much smaller than the actual bombardment of Mastert, Mastert was unable to recover its strength from it, nor could it convert it into a force for retaliation.

The explosion left a shallow burn mark on his wrist, but the Chaos Sword remained undamaged. A "divinely forged" quality sword still possessed considerable resilience. Mastert immediately drew his sword and flew backward, his gaze fixed on the "Archbishop" Rosh Carlos opposite him.

A little thought reveals that one's "authority" has been nullified by the archbishop on the other side—the [Lost] Level III authority is not high enough and will indeed be completely neutralized by the "Radiant Seal".

However, what surprised Mastert was that the timing of the "Archbishop's" use of the "Radiant Seal" was quite precise—it happened precisely at the moment when the Chaos Demon Sword absorbed too much alien spiritual energy and could not effectively complete the transformation. Otherwise, it would not have caused such an explosion; at most, it would have just rendered the authority ineffective.

As Mastert's mind raced through these thoughts, he vaguely saw a provocative smile appear on the face of the "Archbishop" Rosius Carlos opposite him.

Those blazing golden eyes flashed with a light that inexplicably irritated Masterat. It was as if Masterat could see right through him, even what he was thinking and what he was about to do, sending a chill down Masterat's spine.

Those who attain sainthood and can be described as having "seven destinies" all possess a unique kind of "intuition."

An instinctive premonition of danger made Masterth cautious. He stared intently at the archbishop opposite him, and also felt the dragon behind him, the angels around him, and the archbishop himself watching him.

Countless spiritual entities had relocked onto him, and Mastert pondered the source of that earlier sense of danger.

But he ultimately failed to find—or rather, he didn't expect that [Radiance] had other means to nullify the authority he was about to use.

The Archbishop has already used the [Radiant Seal] once; it cannot be used again!
With this thought in mind, Mastert no longer hesitated. His expression finally turned ferocious as he simultaneously raised the demonic sword and scepter he held in his left and right hands, crossing them at his chest—

Buzz!
A terrifying tremor came from mid-air, and the demonic sword and scepter, which emitted a deep and chaotic light, melted as if they were flowing out of black and turbid liquid droplets—a dark mist quickly spread from his body and had already infected a considerable area of ​​the sky.

That is the authority of "ancient inheritance"—

Level V Authority, [Crown of Chaos]!
This is the origin of the name "Crow of Chaos" Mastert, which comes from his symbiotic domain, the effects of which are nothing short of monstrous.

Besides providing Masterst itself with extremely high bonuses, its most distinctive effect is that within the area of ​​effect, all skills and authority skills used by the designated target, except for "Chaos Crown" Masterst, have a very high probability of being nullified.

That wasn't considered a "negative effect," but rather a "positive effect" inherent to Mastert. Its outward spread was also quite rapid, almost reaching Luo Xiu's surroundings.

But under Mastert's gaze, he saw it once again—

The "archbishop" Rosius Carlos raised his right hand once again.

The same holy seal pattern appeared on the same spot on the back of the hand.

—Another [Radiant Holy Seal]!
Mastert had no idea—he could never have imagined—that Luo Xiu would be able to use the [Radiant Holy Seal] once again!
And that comes from the specialty [Sacred Authority of the Day]—

—【Once a day—When you use the [Radiance] Level I/II Authority for the first time each day, you can use the [Radiance] Level I/II Authority an additional time each time!】
"impossible……"

Mastert's pupils dilated in shock, and he murmured something.

He immediately recognized the attributes of the "holy seal".

His mind went blank for a moment, but Level II authority could not completely erase Level V authority.

Mastert knew all this. At this moment, the domain of the [Crowning Crown] was still expanding. When he looked at the archbishop opposite him, he saw that a dense golden light was gathering in the palm of the archbishop's raised right hand.

Golden shadows writhed along its edges, cracks appeared, and golden blood seeped out.

That did not seem to be "authority," but it made Mastert feel a deep and inexplicable sense of dread.

The dense golden light continued to rise, and at a certain height, it fully bloomed, and the golden blood accumulated within it surged and burst forth in all directions!
It was about to touch Luo Xiu's [Crow of Chaos] domain, and even receded wildly due to the splatter of golden blood!
