Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 626 The Battlefield of the Hunt!
The flames that scorched "Blood Crown Venerable" Bogula still surged at the edge of the battlefield. "Compassionate Saint" Hardy turned around abruptly and saw Luo Xiu standing behind him.

With just a glance at the still-writhing crimson on the ground, Hardy understood what had happened. He then looked at Luo Xiu, and simultaneously slammed his "God-Forged" warhammer into the ground. His spiritual energy fully radiated, erecting a sacred wall that completely isolated the flames and crimson—

Even after death, the remaining flesh and blood of a saint like "Blood Crown Venerable" Bogula, who has reached the seventh level of the Red Lotus Destiny, still pose a considerable threat.

It contained a strong sense of corruption and curse, which Hadid knew deeply. So he isolated it before Bogula's flesh and spirit overflowed with flames.

At the same time, he saw the "archbishop" Rosh Carlos, who had put down his magic sword and scepter and was walking towards him.

……

"I am grateful for your support, my comrade, Lord Rosh Carlos."

When Luo Xiu approached the "Red Deacon" and "Compassionate Saint" Hardy, he saw the holy deacon's face display a gentle and friendly smile, and he nodded slightly in greeting.

As Hardy greeted himself, he simultaneously mobilized his spirituality to construct that sacred high wall, which gradually "sealed" the flames burning "Blood Crown Venerable" Borgula and Borgula's corpse. All spirituality that might bring a curse was gradually burned away, and outside the high wall, only intense heat was felt, without any erosion.

“Even I didn’t notice that the black pillar of the Crimson Lotus was so unusual. Lord Rosh Carlos, I must thank you and offer you my highest praise and respect.”

"..."

When the "compassionate saint" Hade spoke these words to him, Luo Xiu truly felt... Hade's unique "benevolence" and "compassion".

I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but there was even a hint of “devotion” in Hardy’s voice – the kind of devotion that comes from facing himself as if he were facing the “fleeting sun”.

“It is my honor, Lord Hardy.” Luo Xiu smiled and nodded in response to Hardy.

The brief exchange lasted only a moment. Soon, "Sword of the Holy One" Monigne, "Spear of Heavenly Law" Asleil, and "Sage of the Blue Sea" Aurelian also arrived in front of Luo Xiu and Hardy.

The fierce battle that erupted on this battlefield has ended with the sealing of "Skull Incarnation" Batel and the annihilation of "Blood Crown Venerable" Bogula. All the Saints can now breathe a sigh of relief.

"...You're that 'Ancient Dragon Bishop,' Rosh Carlos?"

Asleil, the "Spear of Heavenly Law," stared at Luo Xiu with burning dark red eyes. The crimson spear still swirling in his right hand was heavily pressed against the ground, emitting a long "clang."

Luo Xiu knew that this "Pillar Knight" of the Seventh Destiny of the Supreme Realm had already seen too much.

First, Quesanx displayed his power as a "demon god," and then he himself displayed the extremely terrifying power of the "lord of light wings." Both the dragon and himself made Asriel feel apprehensive.

"It's an honor." Luo Xiu looked at Asleil and smiled and nodded at him.

"..."

Asleil, his dark red eyes burning, was still scrutinizing Luo Xiu, as if trying to penetrate this body and see directly the essence of "Luo Xiu Carlos".

But no matter how you look at it, in Asler's eyes, Luo Xiu was just a young saint who was no different from the other "cardinals".

Although it was already shocking enough that a young saint like Luo Xiu had become a "cardinal," Asleil felt that there was more to it than that. His intuition told him that Luo Xiu must be hiding something unknown.

“Yes, I thank you for saving Cole’s life.” Asleil looked at Luo Xiu and said in a somewhat distant voice, “Where is Cole now? I’m going to find him.”

The "Cole" that Asriel mentioned is another "Sky Pillar Knight" who fought alongside Asriel to this place.

"Celestial Knight" Cole had previously fought a fierce battle with "Red Demon King" Mosori, but was swallowed into the Void by "Black Demon King" Anbis, who then tore off his limbs and spat them back onto the battlefield.

At that time, it was the "angel" summoned by Luo Xiu who saved him, taking Cole to the heavens and to a safe place.

Asriel saw it all. Although he was extremely anxious about his comrade's serious injury, he was still fighting fiercely with "Blood Crown Venerable" Bogula and could not spare the time to go to the rescue.

“My ‘angels’ have escorted Lord Cole back to the expeditionary camp.”

Luo Xiu responded to Aslayl with a smile:
"You need not worry about the safety of your comrade; two Divine Knights are already taking care of him. Lord Cole's injuries also require rest. Our task is to clear this battlefield as soon as possible."

……

"..."

“…Okay.” Asleil nodded.

He was still watching Luo Xiu. During this brief greeting and exchange with Luo Xiu, he felt the gentle and friendly aura emanating from Luo Xiu, but he did not feel the "sting" sensation of being threatened.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was truly a devout and harmless young bishop—if he hadn't personally witnessed the terrifying power that this young bishop could wield, he would never have prejudged the conclusion that he was a "threat".

...Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Asleil couldn't help but think this.

His gaze, which had been intensely fixed on Luo Xiu, gradually softened. He said to Luo Xiu:
"Heaven above. You saved Cole's life, and [Heaven] will surely reward you accordingly."

"And you are right, Lord Luo Xiu—the war is not over yet, and we still have a common enemy to eliminate."

"Goodbye, then."

"..."

Having said this.

Asleil gave Luo Xiu a final nod, then turned around, picked up the crimson-red "Spear of Heavenly Law," and charged towards another chaotic battlefield not far away.

……

Asriel, the "Knight of the Heavenly Pillars" and "Spear of Heavenly Law," is a decisive person.

Luo Xiu watched Asriel's retreating figure as he charged into another battlefield, pondering these thoughts—

He didn't dwell on merely "doubting" himself, nor was he dulled by the serious injury of another "Sky Pillar Knight," Cole. After a brief exchange with himself and gaining the necessary understanding of himself, he left, leaving only a promise of "repayment."

And then there was that "Blue Sea Sage," Aurelian. He always seemed to remain silent, but after Asleil left, he also cast a glance at Luo Xiu and spoke up:
“I saw you kill the traitor of the ‘Sage’s Tower’, and kill that ‘Black Pillar’, ‘Bloodworm Fool’ Kalidon.”

“On behalf of all the sages of the Tower of Sages, I thank you. And we of the [Intelligence] will make the same promise as Lord Asrell, and the Tower of Sages will give you the reward you deserve.”

"..."

Having said all this, Aurelian did not wait for Roshu's response. A giant golem beside him lifted him from the ground, and Aurelian, riding the golem army, led his sorcerers away.

As Luo Xiu was still pondering the weight of the "rewards" promised to him by "Spear of Heavenly Law" Asreil and "Sage of the Blue Sea" Aurelian, Monigne's familiar voice came from behind him—

"...Luo Xiu?"

Luo Xiu turned around.

He noticed a strange look in Monigne's eyes—a look that was a mixture of shock, confusion, and hesitation. Then, he heard Monigne ask him—

"You... have advanced to the 'Seventh Destiny'?"

—It was only after Monigne rescued "Radiant Sacred Pivot" Efra from the battlefield that Luo Xiu ascended to "Sevenfold Destiny" on the back of Quesanx's dragon, witnessed by Franya!
Monigne just didn't get to witness this scene.

Luo Xiu could guess why Monigne would be surprised—

"Yes." Luo Xiu smiled and nodded.

“In the intense battle before, I also saw my own ‘Star Gate’. And in the Pope’s temple in Lorend, His Holiness the Pope also bestowed upon me the ‘Star Key’. I haven’t had a chance to tell you about this yet.”

“However, Princess Franya has already given me her testimony. I am now the ‘Lord of the Wings of Light,’ and what you have seen is the power I can control after my ascension.”

"..."

"……okay, I get it."

Monigne nodded.

After listening to Luo Xiu's explanation, she felt calmer.

Even though his brain momentarily froze upon hearing Luo Xiu announce his advancement to "Lord of the Lightwings," in Monine's view, Luo Xiu was already a "Holy Winged Envoy," and his advancement to "Lord of the Lightwings" was something that Monine expected and was entirely reasonable.

"Lord Monigne," Luo Xiu asked Monigne at the same time:
"Lord Evra... how is the 'Third Cardinal' doing now?"

"..."

“Very bad.” Monigne shook his head.

“Efra was struck by the Black Duke’s ‘Divine Spine Black Sword,’ which severed almost half of his spirituality. Although he is temporarily out of danger, it will be difficult for him to recover.”

"He is currently recuperating at the 'Holy Court's' residence, and an archbishop is looking after him... That's roughly Evra's situation."

Monigne briefly explained these things to Luo Xiu, then looked at Luo Xiu and said:

"However, that's not what we should be concerned about right now."

"The war of 'trial' is not over yet. Rosh, we should not stay here any longer. There are some things we can save for after the war is over and we have won."

After saying this, Monigne gripped the hilt of the "divinely forged" holy sword tightly with both hands, pulled the sword from the deep earth, and raised it high.

That fiery, sun-like spirituality had returned; Luo Xiu could feel it, as if he were facing a furnace truly called "the sun"—

Monigne then followed in the footsteps of Asleil, the "Spear of Heavenly Law," and Aurelian, the "Sage of the Blue Sea," and charged into the new battlefield.

Luo Xiu then looked at the "Compassionate Saint" Hadi beside him and said:

"Then let's take action."

"Just as Lord Monigne said, let us end this war—"

—Go grind for all the special rewards in [Judgment Day of Dark Omens]!

“Okay.” Hardy nodded solemnly.

Luo Xiu saw that the eyes of the "Red-Clad Deacon" and "Compassionate Saint" Hardy were shining brightly.

Even though his face still wore an expression of kindness and compassion, his eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement and fervor—he had already raised the "divinely forged" warhammer and responded to Luo Xiu:
"Then, let's go."

“I will accompany you, Lord Rosh Carlos.”

……

--boom!!!!!!!

As the heavy hammer slammed down, golden light surged forth, and a row of black-clad soldiers simultaneously lost their heads, blood gushing from their severed necks, their bodies spinning as they fell to the ground.

—Hardy, the "Compassionate Saint," he is the true berserker! .jpg
Luo Xiu and Hardy charged into another chaotic battlefield—they were practically unstoppable, and all obstacles they encountered were obliterated by the surge of light unleashed by Luo Xiu and the warhammer in Hardy's hand. No enemy could stop the two "Sevenfold Destiny" Saints!
The expeditionary force fighting here was therefore in high spirits.

But the Dark Army was terrified. They couldn't understand why two Saints with "Sevenfold Fate" had been summoned here at the same time!
On this battlefield, the highest-ranking officers were the three "Chief Executioners"—in less than two minutes, two of them had already perished in the sudden holy light blast.

It was Luo Xiu who killed them—his holy technique, "Heavenly Torrent," which pierced the battlefield almost brushed against the black scalp of the soldiers, precisely striking the chest of a giant.

The chief executioner of [Bitter Tea], the upper body of a "giant lord", was directly annihilated by the blazing holy light, and this scene also brought irreversible damage to the morale of the Dark Army!

The other was the chief executioner of the [Lost], whose first thought when he saw the two saints of the "Seven Fates" rushing towards him was not to escape, but to fight back.

However, the "Primordial Mother" did not protect him. His left half of his body was smashed into a pile by Hades, while his right half was burned to ashes by the "Ancient Dragon's Ferocious Breath" unleashed by Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu's attack was the final blow to him.

After advancing to the "Seventh Destiny Path", as long as you have a definite target and the opponent cannot avoid it in a short time, the efficiency of killing a "Sixth Destiny Path" Saint is indeed maximized.

At this point, the objective of defeating the three "Chief Executioners" and obtaining the highest three "Legendary" quality feats in "Judgment Day of the Dark Omen" has been completed!

The situation of the "Final Battle" is also clear in the mission panel—

【当前战况——现存“漆黑之柱”：4/14，现存“首席执刑官”：6/36，现存“执刑官”：37/148】

【…】

The Black Army's true resistance force was almost exhausted.

Luo Xiu was focused on what was displayed on the panel, but suddenly—

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
He heard a deafening roar, the loudest and deepest he had ever heard before!

A massive, deep red beam of light surged forth from the distant battlefield belonging to the "demigods"—from the greatsword of Emperor Augustusville!

Even from a great distance, Luo Xiu could clearly see that the Great Emperor had ascended to the heavens, and the world he was in had turned completely crimson, like a purgatory!
On the other side, a similarly chaotic and pitch-black pillar of light surged forth—

--boom!!!!!!!

The same enormous and heavy roar, accompanied by streaks of pale lightning falling from the sky, illuminated the figure of the dark-skinned Grand Duke, lifting him to the same height as Emperor Augustusville.

The Dark Duke had also raised the [Divine Spine Black Sword], gazing at Emperor Augustusville from afar.

—The final moment is approaching!
