Chapter 559: Desolate Temple (Five Thousand)
Crack, crack, crack.
The sound of the ice crystals breaking became more and more frequent.
A few seconds later, there was a bang, and the ice layer attached to the surface of Irelia's body could no longer withstand the energy from inside to outside, and it exploded. Accompanied by the snowflakes of ice crystals, Irelia's figure appeared in the hazy sky.
When the snow dispersed, Irelia's figure appeared in front of everyone again.
When seeing Irelia now, all the other women couldn't help showing a trace of envy in their eyes.
That skin was as delicate as jade, without any flaws, smooth and soft, and even with a little crystal luster on the skin, soft and warm. Although it was still the same Irelia, this perfect skin was enough to make any woman crazy.
Even the angel Niafu couldn't help but envy it. Even Philomena, a master at the peak of the destruction realm who was much stronger than Irelia, didn't have such delicate skin.
The four words "fragile as a feather" are the most appropriate for Irelia now.
The soft light emanating from her body makes Irelia look even more holy at this moment, like a goddess walking out of a painting, so beautiful that she is beyond description.
Only two of the original twelve wings are left, and the remaining ten wings have disappeared.
After finally waking up, Irelia finally opened her eyes. The moment she raised her eyelids, the whole world seemed to become brighter.
Irelia nodded slightly at Ron, with a slight smile in her eyes, and then turned around and walked towards the left front position. That place was covered with ice and snow, and there was no difference from other areas.
But after the awakening of the goddess blood in her body, as the descendant of the goddess of dawn, Irelia now has a very keen sense of all evil and filthy things. Even though the evil spirit Cassio has been temporarily suppressed by Bai Lan's seal, the leaked breath is still so foul between Irelia's nostrils.
Arriving in front of the seal, Irelia squatted down, put a small hand on the snow, and as her fingertips moved, drops of blood like broken gems oozed out and fell on the snow, gradually melting. The snow was like a blooming of beautiful plum blossoms out of thin air, with two wings behind her facing the sky, and hazy white light began to flicker on each feather of the two wings.
The white light spots were like fireflies at night. Even in a vast snowy field, the white light was still quite obvious.
The white light spots were like snowflakes falling from the sky, falling towards the snow bit by bit.
It was just a very soft white light, but as soon as it fell on the snow, it immediately caused a strong wave.
Ang!
In the depths of the snow, there was a sad and painful roar.
Then, the snowfield of ten thousand feet also trembled violently with this roar. The movement at that moment was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, with a heart-pounding power.
Soon, a complex secret array emerged from the depths of the snow.
It was the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations Secret Array that Bai Lan had arranged before to seal the evil spirit Cassio.
At this moment, the array seemed to be stimulated by something. One after another, complex symbols jumped out of the array, and the symbols trembled slightly, as if they had some kind of resonance with the power of Irelia.
That scene even made Bai Lan's face reveal a little surprise.
But soon, Bai Lan realized that it was not the secret array he arranged that resonated with Irelia, but the evil spirit sealed in the secret array that was trembling because of fear.
This scene made Bai Lan unbelievable.
That was the evil spirit Cassio, the most terrifying existence among the recorded evil spirits. How could he be afraid of a legendary nine-star practitioner?
Bai Lan was very sure that Irelia's strength was legendary nine-star. Although this White Saint did possess some special powers, Bai Lan had never entered the human world, but he had never lost his grasp of various intelligence in the human world.
Bai Lan had also heard of the name of the White Saint Irelia. It was said that this woman's strength improved very quickly. A few years ago, she was just an ordinary nun, but after the disaster in Larnaca City, Irelia seemed to have been strongly stimulated by something, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds.
In just half a year, she directly crossed several realms, from a nun who was not even at the hero level, to a legendary strongman.
In less than a year, she was directly promoted from legendary one star to legendary three stars.
When Bai Lan first met Irelia, his strength was raised to the legendary six-star level.
After activating the goddess inheritance, he became a legendary nine-star existence.
In the vast Dusk Continent, Bai Lan thought that he had already been a type of extremely terrifying strength improvement, but compared with Irelia, it was still far behind, and they were not on the same level at all.
The most terrifying thing is that it is said that although this White Saint has a peerless appearance, a graceful figure, and looks gentle as water, she has mastered an extremely terrifying power that can directly deprive the target of life. No matter how powerful the strength is, once hit by the magic of the White Saint, the vitality will quickly disappear. Even if it does not die on the spot, it will die of vitality exhaustion in a short time.
Now, with the inheritance of the Goddess of Dawn, the destructive power of the White Saint will certainly be improved.
However, no matter what, when facing Irelia, Bai Lan is still quite confident in her own strength.
First of all, even if the two are in the same realm now, she has stayed in this realm for a longer time and has more experience in manipulating the power of this realm.
Secondly, Bai Lan has also accepted the inheritance of the God of Wilderness, and she is no less capable than Irelia in this respect.
But even though the former evil spirit Cassio was sealed by the God of Wilderness himself, when this evil spirit saw the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations Secret Formation he used, he showed more anger, not fear.
Why is he so scared now when facing the power of Irelia?
Through the secret formation, Bai Lan can clearly feel the mood of the evil spirit. That feeling is like a rabbit seeing a tiger, a mouse seeing a cat, and a venomous snake seeing a hawk...
That is the fear that comes from the deepest part of the evil spirit's soul and is rooted in the origin of the evil spirit.
Seeing Ron with a smile on his face, Bai Lan suddenly understood why Ron brought Irelia with him. Perhaps, the Dawn Goddess was the nemesis of all evil spirits, including the stars in the sky.
Even if Irelia was only the inheritor of the power of the Dawn Goddess, even if Irelia's strength was far from being comparable to that of the real Dawn Goddess, even if her power was quite weak, her natural restraint made it difficult for the evil spirits to bear.
One by one, the light points penetrated into the secret array.
Buzz!
The entire Eight Desolations and Six Combinations Secret Array seemed to have suddenly suffered a violent impact, and it suddenly swelled up like a balloon. The lines that outlined the secret array actually showed inch-by-inch cracks, and the entire array seemed to be completely collapsed at any time.
Bai Lan knew that the evil spirits in the array were unwilling to be eliminated like this and were trying to resist.
But this resistance is so weak, waves of shrill wails continue to penetrate from the secret magic circle, and every penetration of light points can make Bai Lan feel that the resistance of the evil spirit is decreasing.
The power of the evil spirit, the soul of the evil spirit, and the origin of the evil spirit are being weakened bit by bit.
Purification.
One of the most fundamental powers of the Goddess of Dawn.
Purify all the filth in the world.
At some point, the sound of wailing in the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations Secret Magic Array began to gradually decrease.
…
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The cold wind is like a sharp knife, cutting on the face.
Even with the protection of magic, you can still feel the burning pain on your face.
On a vast snowy field, several figures are moving slowly, a man and six women, who are Ron, Bai Lan, Bai Yuan, Niafu, Agnes, Irelia, and Philomena!
This is already fifteen days later.
There is nothing special about the elimination of the evil spirit.
Cassio is very strong, but after being weakened by the sword formation of Roen Zuwen, his strength is less than one-third of the normal strength. Bai Lan took advantage of the chaos to attack him and sealed him with the secret formation of Eight Desolations and Six Combinations.
A suppressed evil spirit can't make much waves.
Cassio tried to break through the suppression of the secret formation, but Bai Lan was constantly reinforcing it next to him and completely sealed Cassio. Bai Lan naturally couldn't do it to seal him for thousands of years, but it was not a big pressure for Bai Lan to constantly repair the seal so that Cassio couldn't break the seal.
With the assistance of Bai Lan, Cassio could do nothing except constantly accept the purification of the dawn under the suppression of the secret formation.
What's more, as the purification progressed, Cassio's resistance and struggle became weaker and weaker. In the end, even without Bai Lan's repair, the secret formation could easily suppress Cassio.
However, Irelia's strength was not enough after all.
If it was the real Dawn Goddess, not to mention that she didn't need help, even if it was Cassio in his strongest state, she could probably evaporate Cassio from the Dusk Continent with just a glance.
However, when it was Irelia's turn, things became quite troublesome. The entire purification process lasted for thirteen days, and Irelia even stopped to rest for a whole day to recover her magic power.
For Cassio, this feeling was definitely not pleasant, just like a blunt knife cutting meat, scratching his body piece by piece, and the feeling of living a life worse than death lasted for thirteen days. Cassio finally ushered in the real death and ended his sad life.
In comparison, it is estimated that Cassio would rather be killed by the Dawn Goddess directly than endure such painful torment.
After the evil spirit finally died, the group was not in a hurry to return to the tribe of the fox girl clan.
Bai Lan just used the message magic to convey the news that the matter had been safely resolved to the sisters in the tribe, so that they did not need to worry too much, and then took Ron and others and began to head further north.
This was Ron's request.
Ron wanted to enter the Temple of the God of Desolation and wanted to check the seal of the evil god in the deepest part of the Temple of the God of Desolation.
This time, the orcs were able to successfully break free from the disaster of the evil spirit thanks to Ron's help. If it were not for Ron, and Niafu and Irelia brought by Ron, even if the two brothers and sisters obtained the inheritance of the God of Desolation, they would not have the ability to seal the God of Desolation.
Not to mention that Ron is Bai Yuan's lover, just for this favor, Bai Lan would not refuse any of Ron's requests.
In the northern border, there are two seals.
One is the seal of the evil spirit Cassio, and the other is the seal of the evil god.
In the inheritance of the fox girl clan, once the seal of the evil spirit is broken, the entire orc clan will be destroyed, and if there is a problem with the seal of the evil god, it may even cause a catastrophe for the entire world.
In theory, the seal of the evil god should be more important, but the patriarch of each generation of the fox girl clan pays more attention to the seal of the evil spirit, just because the seal of the evil god has been peaceful for 8,000 years, and there is no sign of damage at all.
On the contrary, the evil spirit will make trouble from time to time.
Of course, after learning the truth of the world from Ron before, Bai Lan also understood that the so-called seal of the evil god suppressed no evil god at all, but the remains of the last Dusk King.
This seal is in the northernmost part of the North.
It is also the coldest place in the entire orc territory.
The distance is not too far, but because the weather and environment are too bad, even if the strength of the group is quite good, the speed of advancement is quite slow.
"We should be there in half a day." Bai Lan looked around and roughly judged the current location, and then spoke slowly.
The North is covered with ice and snow all year round. No matter where you go, the scenes you can see are almost the same. It is easy to get lost in such an environment. The temperature here is extremely terrifying. Ron judged that it was at least 70 to 80 degrees below zero. Once you get lost in such a place, even a legendary master will not get any benefit.
The terrifying ultra-low temperature consumes a lot of energy in the body of the practitioner every moment.
Once the energy is consumed, the human body cannot resist this ultra-low temperature at all. It won't take long before a stiff ice sculpture will appear on the glacier. After a few days, the ice sculpture will gradually be submerged by the wind and snow, and no trace can be seen.
The seal of the evil god is still deeper, and the temperature there is lower than here, which is even more unbearable.
At the same time, that place is the ruins of the Temple of the God of Desolation.
Although the God of Desolation Sect is one of the seven orthodox religions, it is obviously different from the other six churches.
The headquarters of other churches often gather all the elites of the entire church, and the number of believers is also the largest. In addition to the headquarters, a large number of branches will be set up to spread the faith.
But the Huangshen Church is different. In addition to the headquarters, the Huangshen Sect does not have other messy branches.
Moreover, the church headquarters is not too luxurious and magnificent. It may barely be regarded as the tallest and most majestic building among the orcs, but in human society, any noble’s private castle may be more luxurious.
At the same time, not too many members will be left in the church headquarters.
After all, this place is too cold, so cold that most orcs can’t bear it.
Under normal circumstances, only the most basic believers who can ensure the normal operation of the church order will be left in the church headquarters, and the other believers are scattered in different tribes.
As for why the church is set up in such a cold place... God knows.
That was eight thousand years ago, and the real reason has long disappeared in the long river of time.
However, one thing is certain, the location of the church headquarters should bear a large part of the responsibility for the decline of the Huangshen Sect.
The church headquarters is located in a remote location, which makes the control of the Wild God Church over believers extremely disadvantageous.
In addition, there are too many different tribes within the Orcs. For these tribes, the influence of the Pope is far less than that of their respective patriarchs.
The most important point is that the Orcs are in constant conflict. In the places where humans, elves, dwarves, and giants live, because there are dragons to suppress them, although there are occasional dirty things between countries, national wars rarely occur. Even if there are occasional national-level conflicts, they will be quickly quelled by dragons.
It is under this deterrence that hundreds of countries have maintained peace for thousands of years.
However, the Orcs are different. Although there are hundreds of tribes, the entire Orcs are nominally a country. The Dragons have always been indifferent to the civil strife between countries.
What's more, the life of the Orcs is quite poor, and they can't produce wealth that can arouse the desire of the dragons and make them willing to take action.
Therefore, the 8,000-year history of the Orcs is also a history of war.
More than 90% of the tribes gradually died out in the long-term war.
It is said that there are believers of the God of Wilderness in every tribe, and the God of Wilderness sect should call on believers to maintain peace at this time, but unfortunately, the Pope's orders are far less convincing to the orcs than the orders of the patriarch, and the efforts made by generations of popes to maintain peace have not yielded any results at all.
There have even been several cases where the patriarchs of powerful tribes disliked the pope for being too noisy and assassinated the pope.
A church that cannot protect its believers, or even the life of the pope, is bound to decline.
From its establishment to its disappearance, the God of Wilderness sect may not have existed for more than a thousand years. More than seven thousand years ago, with the fall of the last generation of popes, the God of Wilderness Church no longer existed.
Except for the fox girl tribe who would pay tribute to the God of Wilderness, other tribes have even forgotten the existence of the God of Wilderness.
The most exaggerated thing is that three or four thousand years ago, evil spirits came to the world and caused disasters everywhere.
The orcs were on the brink of life and death. It was the God of Wilderness who killed and suppressed the evil spirits that were raging in the orcs' territory, but in the end, except for the fox girl tribe, few orcs were willing to believe that it was the work of the God of Wilderness. In order to consolidate his power, the contemporary orc king even shamelessly took the credit for suppressing the evil spirits on his head.
Crack, crack...
The soles of his feet stepped on the snow, making a sound like ice crystals breaking.
Along the way, Bai Lan told Ron and his friends about the history of the orcs, which didn't seem too boring.
Although Ron knew very well that the God of Wilderness never asked for any rewards or coveted any beliefs, but... in Ron's eyes, the entire orcs, except for the fox girl tribe, were simply a group of garbage that was not worthy of redemption.
Survival of their own will should be the best ending for them.
Bai Lan walked in front.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the long silver hair that hung down naturally swayed, and some hair ends hit Ron's face, itching.
Under the long hair lifted by the cold wind, a snow-white neck was exposed. From the corner of the eye, Bai Lan's eyes were seen, as if they were condensed from ice and snow, pure and clear.
Looking at an iceberg standing on the glacier in front of him, Bai Lan exhaled slightly, and the air just exhaled instantly turned into fine ice crystals.
"That's the Temple of the God of Desolation." Pointing to the iceberg, Bai Lan said.
The wind and snow for many years have already submerged the Temple of the God of Desolation.
