“I thought your blood had already been corrupted and turned black, but it’s still so red!” Demon Mo Fan slowly pulled his hand out of Mellaura’s twitching body. He was admiring the blood on his hand as if it was a work of art!

Mellaura did not die instantly. She was still grasping onto her last breath, waiting for Shawshank to protect her.

If everything went according to the plan, Izisha would eventually obtain the Spell of Resurrection. As long as she could preserve her body and her soul, she still had a chance to be resurrected. Mellaura could feel her life draining away at an insane rate. She had only one final wish!

Mo Fan suddenly flipped his hand. A strong wind immediately surrounded Mellaura, destroying her final hope. She could even see pieces of her body drifting in the wind. It looked utterly terrifying!

She never thought she would die such a gruesome death at the hands of a demon that seemed to have come from a different world. Why would this Mo Fan, whom they never treated seriously, possess such terrifying power!?

Shawshank shivered in fear. He and the Golden Sun Knights were totally unaware when Mo Fan had shown up. If he had been aiming for them instead, they would have ended up just like Mellaura!

Mo Fan’s hatred for Mellaura was so strong that he was tearing her into pieces, leaving her no chance of being resurrected.

“Avenge…avenge the Great Muse!” A Golden Sun Knight that was blindly loyal to Mellaura let out a roar, trying to overcome his fear. Even though they were Super Mages, they had never seen anything like Mo Fan!

A giant Demon Judgment Sword of the Light Element descended from the sky, aimed right at Mo Fan’s head. The sword was as tall as a building. Shawshank managed to cast the spell right after recovering!

Mo Fan raised his head and looked at the Demon Judgment Sword, yet he did not try to dodge it.

He slowly raised his other hand. A deep, silver energy burst out of his palm.

He suddenly clenched his hand, aiming at the Demon Judgment Sword above him. The giant sword was immediately shrouded by the silver energy of the Space Element, and crushed into pieces before it could reach Mo Fan’s head!

Shawshank and the rest of the Golden Sun Knights took a deep breath. The demon was able to shatter a Super Spell so easily. How strong could he be?

“Let’s attack together!” A few Golden Sun Knights started constructing Star Palaces rapidly. It was obvious that these Golden Sun Knights had been in the Super Level for quite some time, considering how quickly they were casting their spells. A Thousand Leaves Saber soon appeared in front of the Golden Sun Knight that initiated the attack.

The leaves danced wildly and slashed at Demon Mo Fan like white scythes. They were dense and fierce, leaving no gaps between them.

Demon Mo Fan did not have the ability to fly. He stayed in the air briefly before landing on the ground. The Thousand Leaves Sabers pursued after him, cutting the plants across the mountain into dust scattering in the wind…

As soon as the Thousand Leaves Sabers disappeared, a Golden Sun Light sprang forward using the Slaughtering Wind Slash. He cut at Mo Fan using the wind as his weapon!

The Slaughtering Wind Slash sliced forward from one end of the hill to the other. Demon Mo Fan crossed his arms in front of him, before he slid across the ground after the Slaughtering Wind Slash struck him…

“He…he does not seem to be injured!” another knight exclaimed after taking a closer look.

The Golden Sun Knight with the Wind Element was dumbfounded. It was his strongest spell. Both the Thousand Leaves Saber and the Slaughtering Wind Slash were able to slaughter thousands of demon creatures in an instant, yet they did not leave even a single scratch on the guy. Was he even human!?

“Sinking Ground!” Shawshank yelled furiously from up in the air.

The woods shook. The ravine that Mo Fan was standing in suddenly sank rapidly, as if an enormous giant had just stomped on the ground, leaving a deep pit where Mo Fan was standing.

Demon Mo Fan fell into the sinking pit. His body was buried by the rocks. However, he was not crushed by the force. His eyes flickered coldly instead.

He broke free from the rocks and crouched like a stretched bowstring!

BANG!

With a loud blast, the mountain collapsed as Demon Mo Fan stomped the ground, launching him into the sky like a bolt of black lightning.

Shawshank activated all his defenses, including an expensive Magic Armor. However, when the bolt of lightning swept past him, he felt like all his bones had broken. He fell rapidly to the bottom of the mountain!

Shawshank did not stop even after landing on the ground. He slammed further into a deep hole in the city down the mountain.

His Magic Armor was broken into pieces. He was still alive, yet the tremendous pain in his chest prevented him from rising to his feet.

He was the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment; he never thought he would be defeated so easily one day!

Driving a man from the mountain’s waist to its foot. How strong would the impact have to be!?

After some time, Shawshank recovered slightly. He glanced at the mountain’s waist and saw the demon grabbing the Golden Sun Knight that had sworn his loyalty to Mellaura.

Shawshank could not see what the demon did. He only saw blood jetting up into the sky, before the Golden Sun Knight’s body was tossed into the valley like a piece of trash…

The Golden Sun Knights stood no chance against the demon. They were all taken out at different spots.

—

A loud cry sang out. The snake’s breath swept across the mountain like a black tornado. The armed forces hiding in the mountain immediately received a destructive blow, many human figures were knocked into the sky…

Mo Fan turned around and looked at the Black Totem Snake. He saw that it had slightly recovered during this short period. He was lending a hand by cleaning off the rest of the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple.

The number of Mages that the Parthenon Temple had was just too high. It was impossible to kill every single one of them. Besides, apart from those that had sworn loyalty to Izisha, Dulanc, and Mellaura, Mo Fan had never planned to kill every person of the Parthenon Temple!

Not everyone in the Parthenon Temple had submitted to Izisha. It was quite obvious that the Hall Master of the Hall of Knights, Haylon, was totally unaware of the conspiracy!

The people that wanted to kill Xinxia were Dulanc and Izisha!

Mo Fan did not waste his time further with the Adjudicators, Mages of Faith, and the Golden Sun Knights, knowing that the Black Totem Snake was clearing a path for him. He transformed into a bunch of Wolf Shadows and sprinted down the mountain.

The Mages of Faith did not stop attacking with their magic along the way, but most of the attacks only consisted of Intermediate Spells. They were unlikely to inflict any damage on Mo Fan, considering how fast he was moving.

Mo Fan’s Demon Element had grown stronger than it had been at the Ancient Capital. It turned out that the Demon Element also grew with his cultivation!

——

A black pillar stood between the sacred mountain and the flourishing city. The people nearby had been evacuated after the Parthenon Temple’s Hall of Faith sounded the alert. The city looked empty, and the boundary of the Dark Execution Ground made it look like something out of an apocalypse.

The city was deserted. The Dark Execution Ground had been established in the city, and a feeble woman was trapped in it alone…

The black Stones of Guilt were circling Xinxia. The seal of the Dark Execution had almost burned through her forehead, leaving her in great pain, her sweat pouring down like a rain.

A dark light was shining upon Xinxia. The shadow it was projecting was completely different from Xinxia’s outline. It was a slender figure, its waist-to-leg ratio different from normal humans. Its black hair was reaching its knees!

Outside the Dark Execution Ground, Dulanc acted as if he had just seen the most wonderful thing in the world when he saw the shadow being projected from Xinxia. His eyes were brimming with greed!

“It’s the Soul of the Parthenon Temple, it’s really on her!” Dulanc had the urge to pounce on the girl. However, he was not allowed to enter the Dark Execution Ground, and the Soul of the Parthenon Temple would not reside in the body of a Great Magistrate, either.

The Soul of the Parthenon Temple would only reside in the true successor of the Parthenon Temple. Only the Saintesses that had received the Blessing of the God’s Seal were able to inherit the Soul of the Parthenon Temple.

—

When the Soul of the Parthenon Temple was revealed, a figure standing on the observatory tower on the Hall of the Goddess glanced down the stairs. She could just see the Dark Execution Ground, and the stunning outline of the Soul of the Parthenon Temple was like a gorgeous painting on the ground.

The person grinned, her heart overflowing with joy.

Izisha had been waiting for years to get her hands on the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. Once she claimed the Soul of the Parthenon Temple, it was time for her to stand at the top of the world!

Izisha’s eyes were fixed on the Soul of the Parthenon Temple on the Dark Execution Ground. She did not seem bothered by the blood splattered across the mountain.

The battle for power in the Parthenon Temple had always been paid in blood. Even if the Black Totem Snake had not shown up, she would still take out every single person that was unwilling to submit to her, and the number of casualties would be several times greater than the number of people dying now!
