"The Emperor behind you is merely a projection of power. How long can it last? And how great a price will you have to pay for borrowing such immense power?" Mother of the Temple Pamir said indifferently.
As the Hall Mother who controls the Nine Hidden Families, she has several Forbidden Spellcasterss under her command.
As the Pope of the Black Vatican, an underground ruler who made many countries and international organizations tremble in fear.
She felt she could face the Emperor's aura without fear.
"..."
Jiang Yuan did not answer.
The armored robe behind him moved, and the space behind Mother of the Temple Pamir shattered, with endless darkness surging within!
Feeling a fatal threat, Pamir dared not look back. This power was enough to instantly dismember her if she made even the slightest move!
The numerous Pathenon Temple Mages watched in terror, their faith feeling as if it had been thrown to the ground and trampled upon.
"You should be grateful that I won't kill you right now," Jiang Yuan said.
The Emperor ritual he prepared for the Twisted Undead was just like the Eight Souls ritual the Red Demon had designed for Mo Fan.
The painful soul of the Pope was indispensable.
"You dare to kill me?" Pamir took a deep breath, staring intently at Jiang Yuan.
"Kill you? Why wouldn't I dare?" Jiang Yuan sneered.
"You!"
Pamir suddenly shrieked, her entire right arm instantly swallowed by a spatial rift, blood gushing out.
She quickly used Healing magic to treat her injuries. The severe blood loss made her face extremely pale, and a sense of weakness and exhaustion washed over her.
However, before she could say anything more.
A crack opened above Jiang Yuan, and a completely transparent, agate-like gemstone ring, fully inlaid, fell out.
The Papal Ring. As long as it wasn't fused with the Pope's blood, no one, not even in the Holy City, could know it was the Papal Ring.
"Do you think Xinxia would wear this ring?" Jiang Yuan toyed with the Papal Ring, suddenly bringing up Xinxia.
Pamir's heart pounded.
Why bring up Xinxia and the ring?
Did he know something?!
Even Pamir, who had faced countless storms, suddenly felt an inexplicable fear at this moment.
Ever since she ascended to the positions of Pope and Hall Mother, all her schemes had remained unknown.
Even those in the Holy City wouldn't have imagined that the Pope of the Black Vatican would become the Hall Mother of the Pathenon Temple!
But today, a Chinese man she had never met seemed to know all her secrets.
To think one had control over everything, only to suddenly discover that in an unseen place, someone was watching all of one's actions.
How could this not cause fear?!
"Keep it safe. Don't let your blood stain such a beautiful ring." Jiang Yuan specifically highlighted the blood and the ring, then tossed the Papal Ring to Pamir.
Pamir caught the Papal Ring with her remaining left hand, saying nothing.
Having done all this, Jiang Yuan led Mo Fan and Xinxia further down the mountain.
Everyone watched as the three walked past them, no one daring to step forward and block their path!
"My Lord, I have already informed the Nine Hidden Families. They are on their way and will arrive in a few minutes," a strong expert from the Hidden Families, dressed in a grey robe, appeared.
Pamir struggled internally for a long time, biting her lip, about to speak.
Several black energy-emitting stones appeared out of thin air around Ye Xinxia, followed by a few more, totaling eight black stones rotating around her.
"What the hell are these things?" Mo Fan touched these extremely bizarre black stones, but the dark energy corroded his palm, making him quickly pull his hand back in pain.
"Sins Stones."
Jiang Yuan said with an unfriendly tone.
He looked towards the Judgement Hall, letting out a chilling sneer.
"They even dare to perform Dark Judgment on you. These dogs truly aren't afraid of death!"
The Sins Stones burst forth with black light, forming a Dark Judgment imprint that was about to fall on Xinxia's forehead.
Xinxia felt herself being isolated by a force.
Jiang Yuan would not allow such a thing to happen, controlling the armored robe to intercept the Dark Judgment imprint in mid-air.
The Dark Judgment imprint vibrated frantically.
But its power was too weak before the armored robe, and it could not land on Xinxia.
Jiang Yuan used the Emperor's power to activate the Undead Tentacles, and dozens of enormous Undead Tentacles slammed towards the Judgement Hall.
High Judge and the other judges who had thrown the black Sins Stones watched in horror as the palace collapsed.
Suddenly, the Dark Judgment imprint appeared before them, its emanating black light enveloping them, instantly swallowing them and making them disappear from everyone's sight.
Subsequently, a towering light barrier appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Inside a vast black void, High Judge and the other judges from earlier stood dazedly.
"Where is this?" Dulanke looked around in a panic.
Darkness.
Endless darkness.
"Are you not familiar with the Dark Execution Ground? Enjoy the last wails and despair of your lives!"
Jiang Yuan's voice echoed in the Dark Execution Ground.
Dulanke and the others finally realized where they were. They had been brought to the Dark Execution Ground by the Dark Judgment they themselves had released!
They had no time to panic. A massive roar echoed within the Dark Execution Ground, its vibrations shaking the entire city of Athens!
From the darkness, a grotesque black horned helmeted head rose. Inside the helmet was a face covered in tentacles, with countless black beetles hanging from its entire lower jaw, a terrifying sight that was nauseating!
Hollow eye sockets shot out red light, landing on Dulanke and the others, intensely terrifying!
"It's the Death God Hala!"
"Help, I don't want to die here!"
"No!!!"
"Ah!!!!!!"
They screamed and yelled frantically, begging Hala to spare them.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
According to the signed contract, Hala would kill any creature that entered the Dark Execution Ground!
The Death God had already arrived by their side!
Everyone in the Pathenon Temple watched in horror as Dulanke and the others were brutally killed in the Dark Execution Ground.
When they looked at Jiang Yuan again, the fear in their eyes was uncontrollable!
Was Dark Judgment also a plaything in his hands?!
Then what did the Holy Judgment Court's judgment even count for?!
"Let them go, don't stop them."
Pamir said this with all her might, then collapsed weakly to the ground.
She finally understood how ridiculous power struggles were in the face of absolute power.
What if the Pathenon Temple had an incomparable number of Super-Order Mages compared to other organizations?
Just a single Emperor phantom was an insurmountable chasm!
What about the Dark Judgment that judged evil?
Before true power, it was nothing more than a toy to be played with at will!
What made her most uneasy was that her identity as the Pope was no longer a secret known only to her.
Once exposed, her name would surely be on that list of angels!
Wails echoed above the Parthenon.
The three arrived at the mountain steps at the top of the Star River Mountain Path. Jiang Yuan turned to look at the Pathenon Temple members and smiled, "I suddenly don't want to leave. You made Xinxia suffer injustice; it can't just end so casually, can it?"
His smile was clearly amiable, but to the Parthenon members, it was chilling.
He had already killed so many people, and he still wasn't willing to let it go?!
