Chapter 1042

As he gazed at the golden flames burning on his arm, the High Priest’s pupils suddenly widened!

But the flicker in his eyes was not panic but ecstatic joy!

“This power… this is!!!”

His hand suddenly fell, and instantly the golden light, like a serpent, slithered towards every part of his body! It flowed and twisted within him like worms!

He lifted his robe, revealing muscles as hard as bronze, and blood vessels shining with dazzling gold, making him look like the most exquisite work of art.

His aura surged with terrifying Speed, but his body did not swell like the young man before, instead, the golden light in his blood vessels became even more brilliant, flowing like burning Metal! All Power was firmly suppressed in the blood vessels and constantly cycled for Refinement within him! Until breaking through the bottleneck, and surging once again!

“Have I broken through? The last door of the four great blood Refinement barriers that blocked me for seventeen years was broken just like that?”

Uncontainable laughter emanated from beneath the Bronze Mask. Red Swan looked at the man before her in astonishment. In her memories, the High Priest was always calm as water, this was the first time she saw him so out of control.

“No, it’s more than that, this power is far from its end!”

In the High Priest’s laughter, his Power continued to expand. After breaking through the sixteenth tier, the Holy Blood Secret Scripture advanced to the seventeenth tier, and the bottleneck of the seventeenth tier could not stop it!

When all settled, the energy fluctuations on the High Priest were at least three times stronger than before! At this point, he was unleashing a terrifying aura without restraint, causing Red Swan and the others to shiver and press against the wall!

Eighteenth tier! His Holy Blood Secret Scripture directly rose three tiers! Stepping into the eighteenth tier!

He never dreamed he could reach this realm so quickly; the eighteenth tier of the Holy Blood Secret Scripture, even top experts of a glorious era were merely the same!

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

He couldn’t help but laugh aloud again, looking at Blue Boy with greed, as if gazing at the most precious Secret Treasure in the world!

“Only with this beast, perhaps I can reach realms never walked by predecessors, cultivate the ‘Holy Blood Secret Scripture’ beyond twenty tiers!”

‘Dragon Blood Secret Scripture’ has a total of thirty tiers, Legend says that cultivating this Cultivation Technique to Full Level can become a Divine Envoy under Bright Venerable, yet many high-ranking members of the Void Church believe later realms are mere concoctions of the ruling class—yes, among the upper echelons of the Void Church, quite a few believe Bright Venerable never existed, or was merely a transient figure, and the High Priest was among them.

After all, even before the invasion, the highest Cultivation within the Void Church only reached twenty tiers.

Back then, the High Priest was but a budding young cleric, could only look up to such figures, but now he was full of confidence, feeling he could tread above such figures, seeing more magnificent scenery!

He raised a hand and grasped, Blue Boy rose into the air, leaving Chu Xiu’s body, Blue Boy roared loudly in agitation but couldn’t escape the High Priest’s grip, could only struggle desperately in mid-air.

This sight made Red Swan and the others look at each other in dismay, wasn’t it that the creature indeed enhanced your Power? Then it should be the reincarnation of Bright Venerable, right? How could you treat the reincarnation of Bright Venerable like this?

But no one was foolish enough to speak up.

“Buzz buzz buzz.”

At this time, a low humming sound came from afar, causing Red Swan’s face to change with restrained fear: “High, High Priest, it seems the investigation team has caught up!”

“What are you afraid of?” The High Priest snorted softly, “I detected those scum’s tracks ten kilometers away long ago, compared to my aura when I advanced, it has already been detected by them.”

These words made Red Swan and the others’ faces turn pale; had they been discovered already? Wasn’t that a sure death?

But the High Priest remained composed, merely chuckled lightly: “Escape we must, I am not a person who becomes complacent once gaining some progress, we currently don’t possess the strength to confront the investigation team directly.”

“But just a mere patrol airship, current me doesn’t even consider it!”

Evil glint flashed in his eyes: “Before vanishing, let’s bid farewell by declaring our strength!”

As the words fell, he no longer concealed, Frenzied Power burst forth! Hundreds of tons of steel junk piled overhead were like lifted by an irresistible Giant Strength, as the High Priest soared into the sky! In a flash, already appearing before the airship in high altitude!

He stretched out a finger, eyes hidden with suppressed excitement.

“Let this strike vent decades of the Ming Race People’s hatred…”

“Oh, didn’t expect to gain an unexpected harvest.”

His words were interrupted by a teasing voice.

The High Priest paused in mid-air, staring at a man who appeared unbeknownst to him, feeling his blood suddenly go cold.

The man donned merely a casual short-sleeve, arms crossed, with a thick brown cigar dangling from his lips, standing just like that in mid-air, boldly scrutinizing the High Priest.

“Initially, I joined the youngsters’ activities just on a whim, seems it was truly worthwhile this time.”

“Let me see… Energy Level is decent, but aura is unstable, just entered as a Heroic Spirit? Shouldn’t be many of your kind among the remnants now.”

The High Priest suddenly said nothing, turned to flee!

Yet he had only turned halfway when a red light pierced him, then the force suddenly expanded, like a bursting napalm bomb, igniting his body!
