The King of Black Fog

Chapter 1300 - 573: First Holy Temple (Part 3)

"Ladies and gentlemen, I withdraw. I won't compete for the first Saint Position." A Divine Elephant said.

"I'm withdrawing as well." The Heavenly Fox with twelve tails said.

Many powerful beings stated their positions, choosing not to contest the first Saint Position.

Some had self-awareness; after the earlier encounters, they knew they weren't a match for the big figures;

Others were waiting for the rest to wear each other down, fighting to the death for the first Saint Position, as the subsequent positions would be relatively easier.

And some, after a moment of silence, set their sights on the two Light Gates in the side halls.

Life only grants one chance. While the Saint Position was desirable, it also required surviving to sit on it; dying on the path would be worse than becoming a Semi-Saint, slowly enduring until potentially becoming a Saint on one's own.

In the Holy Temple, everyone exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Anyone daring to show a determined ambition for the first Saint Position would become the target of concentrated attacks; one wrong step could lead to an abyss.

No one dared to use Voice Transmission either.

Those present were either ancient titans or enigmatic players traversing across ages; Skills were useless against Heavenly Will, but intercepting Voice Transmissions was not a problem.

"Since no one is speaking, then I'll take it." Li Changzhou said, "Cover me!"

Instantly, everyone's gaze shifted, a mere look capable of annihilating the form and spirit of Heavenly Beings.

"Boom!" Li Changzhou truly soared up into the sky.

Li Qianxia, Yang Qinglan, and the Turquoise Pool followed closely.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Everyone unleashed terrifying methods, including those who previously agreed not to compete; they suddenly launched attacks on Li Changzhou, who was at the forefront.

Immortal Energy filled the air, Divine Skills surged, incantations raged, sorcery was cunning, human Laws reached the heavens, and various Divine Arts overwhelmed like a tidal wave.

Yet, Li Changzhou suddenly turned back, diving down.

"Die, all of you, false victor's stance!"

The aura of annihilation spread.

Swish, countless people were frightened, withdrawing and retreating.

"He's deceiving us!" A combatant strong enough saw through Li Changzhou's scheme.

The aura of annihilation was Li Changzhou's [Annihilation Divine Light] under twenty-one times the combat power surge.

Boom!

Even though most withdrew, Li Changzhou was still overwhelmed, his Divine Body shattered, yet quickly reorganizing.

He reached Li Qianxia's side, explosive with twenty-two combat power, throwing her towards the main hall Light Gate.

"Brother!" Li Qianxia shouted.

"Don't look back." Li Changzhou charged into the second wave of attacks, his eyes bloodshot, his Divine Body cracking.

With twenty-two times the combat power, he couldn't sustain for ten breaths.

The Turquoise Pool and Yang Qinglan stayed by his side.

The second wave of attacks far exceeded the first; the three naturally didn't dare face it directly, dodging and using Heavenly Will to interfere.

Meanwhile, Li Changzhou first launched an [Annihilation Divine Light] at the second wave of attacks.

Then, targeting the bottom, a twenty-two-fold indiscriminate attack: "Destiny Vortex!"

[Heavenly Will·Fate] demonstrated its indescribable magic; all beings were caught in destiny, unable to launch a third wave of offensives.

Yet, it was useless; there were too many strong opponents, and even with twenty-two times the combat power, Li Changzhou couldn't control the destinies of these people simultaneously.

He suffered backlash, his half-Heavenly Willized body falling back to nine Heavenly Destinies, his Divine Sense throbbing with intense pain.

But he managed a momentary restraint, preventing the immediate launch of a third wave and weakening the intensity of the second wave.

The Turquoise Pool's twenty-seven Heavenly Will Beads lit up, shutting madly, blasting against the second wave's energy frenzy.

Yang Qinglan wielded the Ruyi to draw the Jade Cauldron, the Cauldron thundering forth, continuously striking the energy frenzy, partially scattering it.

Li Qianxia herself fought with all her might.

"Li Qianxia's personal small wonderland" unfolded, consuming 10,000 points of Ability, recreating the 'King of Black Fog's twenty-two-fold [Annihilation Divine Light]!

All Heavenly Beasts were dispatched, six "Antimatter-Antihydrogen" spiraled downward!

The Primordial Divine Tree emerged, absorbing pollen, unleashing a full-force strike.

The Heavenly Destiny Banner fully unfurled, blocking midway.

The second wave of attacks, under the assault of Li Changzhou, the Turquoise Pool, and Yang Qinglan, partially disintegrated like bark falling from a tree, striking straight at the [Annihilation Divine Light] executed by Li Qianxia.

[Annihilation Divine Light] was mercilessly extinguished;

All Heavenly Beasts perished instantly;

"Antimatter-Antihydrogen" stirred bead-sized ripples in the energy Light Sea;

Full-force strike shattered;

As the Supreme Heavenly Device, the Heavenly Destiny Banner blocked briefly, the flag surface pierced through.

The second wave of attacks was more than half weakened.

"Boom!" Li Qianxia turned to ashes.

Whoosh!

A blue butterfly flapped its wings, Li Qianxia reborn, quickly rushing into the Light Gate.

Everyone held their breath, incredulous.

Some people hadn't even reacted; the King of Black Fog had actually given up his chance to become a Saint, letting his sister go first!
