Chapter 398: Chapter 398: The Protection of the Ancient Holy Beasts (3rd Update)

Garry was in a good mood as well.

For this outing, he had specifically brought along his treasured copy of the Covenant of Light.

Of course, this wasn’t the true Covenant.

The true Covenant, along with the Crown of Light and the Sword of Light, hailed as the three legendary artifacts, were all managed by successive heads of the church.

The Covenant in his possession was a replica made by an Ancient Sage, and there were a total of three copies.

Even though it wasn’t the real Covenant, it could still be considered a powerful holy artifact.

He hadn’t expected to actually use it, and even managed to capture so many Dark Night Elves in one go.

However, what was most important was this false deity.

As long as he offered this deity, he would receive even more rewards from the higher-ups, and might even enter the core of the church hierarchy in the future.

Thinking of this, Garry couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

And it was at this moment when he suddenly heard a young girl’s cry of pain from below.

Looking down, he saw Xue Nian holding her own finger, tears brimming in her big eyes as she winced in pain.

Isabella and Youna, along with others, all called out anxiously, “Nian Nian, are you alright?”

Xue Nian shook her head, with tears in her eyes she said, “I just touched the white light and it cut my finger! These people are really mean!”

Xue Nian’s words brought a slight smile to Garry’s face as he prepared to capitalize on the victory.

But at that moment, an immensely vast and powerful aura suddenly burst forth from Xue Nian.

Under this aura, the white light that trapped her melted away rapidly like snow under the blazing sun, and even the surrounding white light was swept away by the powerful force.

Garry and Alonso’s eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

“How is this possible? Why is there such a powerful aura?” Alonso exclaimed in shock.

But this was only the beginning.

Suddenly, a giant Kunpeng phantom appeared behind Xue Nian.

Although it was only a phantom, it still exuded an ancient and powerful breath.

Seemingly stimulated by this breath, a confused Xue Xiang also experienced a fluctuation behind her, and then a Vermilion Bird’s phantom appeared.

Garry and Alonso were dumbstruck.

Even though they didn’t know what these divine beasts were, the formidable aura was unmistakably genuine!

But this was still only the beginning.

One by one, phantom images began to emerge.

Azure Dragon, Kylin, Xuanwu, White Tiger, Pixiu, Bai Ze, Phoenix, Bi Fang, Hook Chen…

These ancient sacred beasts of immense power majestically appeared in the sky, eventually even obscuring the entire sky.

An unmatched force caused the entire Elf Sanctuary to tremble and show signs of collapsing.

Garry and Alonso turned deathly pale and shivered uncontrollably.

For before the might of heaven and earth, they felt so insignificantly small.

Chloris was also dumbfounded, then suddenly began to smile wryly.

She understood.

It was all because Xue An was worried about his daughter’s safety, so he cast a guardianship spell on them.

But this guardianship spell was a bit too outrageous, wasn’t it?

It was as if he had invoked all the ancient divine beasts!

It was at this time that Xue Xiang snapped out of it and pointed at Garry and Alonso among others, “They are the big baddies!”

Following Xue Xiang’s command,

these formidable sacred beast phantoms simultaneously lowered their bodies, looking down at Garry and the others as if viewing ants.

An endless onslaught of attacks fell like flowing water.

Azure Dragon’s Divine Flame, Phoenix’s fire, Xuanwu’s force, White Tiger’s strike…

Although these were not real sacred beasts, their power was still astounding.

The church members who came with Garry couldn’t even let out a whimper before being annihilated into nothingness by these attacks.

Alonso endured a little longer, but within a breath’s time, the armor of the Power of Light he wore shattered bit by bit.

Terrified, he screamed “Lord Garry! Save me!”

With a clench of his teeth, Garry lifted the Covenant of Light above his head, “The grace of God is like the sea!”

With his shout, the Covenant of Light suddenly burst into flames!

And with the burning of the sacred artifact, magnificent white light also bloomed forth.

After all, these holy beasts were merely illusions, and not physical entities.

Thus, they were all annihilated into nothingness under the white light emitted by the burning artifact.

After a final thunderous burst of white light, all the holy beasts disintegrated and vanished.

And with them, the Covenant of Light disappeared too.

Garry’s heart bled for the loss, for these were sacred artifacts of which the Church of Light had only three in total.

This was a huge loss!

Alonso, however, let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Xue Xiang, Nian Nian, and the others with lingering fear, then sneered.

“Heh heh, you actually caused the death of so many of our people, you will all become slaves, and you will atone for this until your deaths!”

The many elves had looks of utter despair.

Chloris struggled to gather the Force of Nature.

But Garry’s previous attack had wiped out all the Force of Nature within a dozen or so miles, and now the surrounding area was filled with the Power of Light.

This rendered her extremely weak.

“Let’s deal with these two little girls who popped out of nowhere first!” Garry commanded anxiously.

Alonso nodded, “I know, just leave it to me!”

Saying this, he charged straight at Xue Xiang and Nian Nian.

The two girls let out screams.

But just then, a voice laden with boundless killing intent came from the sky.

“How dare you bully my daughters?”

Everyone was startled and looked up.

They saw a streak of light speeding toward them, reaching Alonso’s proximity in an instant.

The speed was so great that Alonso didn’t even have time to react, and a punch filled with supreme rage was already hurled forth, smashing directly into Alonso’s face.

Bang!

Under this punch, Alonso’s head exploded like a firework display.

His body then shattered inch by inch, as if crushed by something!

Blood scattered across the sky.

One punch.

This former deputy commander of the Radiant Knight Order, Alonso, was blown into pieces.

Only then did everyone see the man standing mid-air, his face filled with overwhelming killing intent.

Upon seeing this man, Xue Xiang and Nian Nian cheered with joy.

“Daddy!”

“Dad, you finally came to save us!”

Indeed, it was Xue An.

At that moment, Xue An’s heart was brimming with towering rage.

He had just finished slaughtering Blood Mountain and was preparing to return to the S country when suddenly, he felt an intense palpitation.

He then sensed that the protective arrays he had placed on his two daughters had both been triggered.

This deeply shocked him, for it surely meant that his daughters were in danger.

He immediately planned to return to the Elf Sanctuary using the mark given by Chloris.

But unexpectedly, Chloris was trapped by the Light, causing the mark to fail.

In a fit of rage, Xue An burned his cultivation level and crossed over a thousand kilometers in a single step, arriving directly at the farm outside of London and breaking in.

Only upon seeing his daughters safe and sound did his heart slightly relax.

Then came the fury and killing intent intense enough to incinerate The Multiverse.

In his three thousand years of Immortal Cultivation, Xue An had only one rule.

Whoever dared to hurt An Yan and his two daughters, no matter if you are the supreme being of the Myriad Realms or a deity from the nine heavens, you must be killed!

And now, the Church of Light had finally provoked an individual they should never have crossed!
