You can just take advantage of the period of Tianyi's strengthening to make progress in the suffering of the ascetics.
Li Yan made up his mind, stood up again, turned on the summoner state, and used the card in his hand as the target to activate his ability.
When the soft white light dissipated and his vision became clear, Li Yan looked forward.
"Um?"
Li Yan discovered that far ahead, there was a beam of pure white light reaching straight into the sky.
this?
Have you unlocked a new map?
Li Yan looked to the front. The ascetic was moving steadily towards the direction of the white light pillar.
The ascetics have a peculiar temperament.
He seems to have completed some kind of transformation.
Could it be?
Li Yan took the ascetic as his target and unfolded his evolutionary path.
Then Li Yan discovered that the route of ascetics suffering 1,000 times had been cleared.
On the road to 8 stars, there is only one last mission left.
That is to say, smash the pilgrim statue with your own hands.
Looking at the white beam of light in the direction of the ascetic's progress, Li Yan suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that this direction contains what ascetics need for their evolution?
Li Yan summoned the flying carpet, went straight up into the sky, and looked into the direction of the white light beam.
"really."
Li Yan confirmed.
In the direction where the ascetics are moving, there is a huge city that is white, sacred, and shrouded in white light, like a kingdom of God.
This huge city and the wasteland outside are like two different worlds.
Outside the wasteland, time is frozen in the dusk of the blood moon, depressing and despairing.
Within the Kingdom of White God, there is a huge white sculpture in the center. The white beam of light that reaches the sky rises from this sculpture.
As if as a reflection of the sculpture's light beam, the sky above the white and holy giant city was shrouded in soft white light, like a holy land, exuding a holy and peaceful atmosphere.
"Is this the hometown of the ascetics?"
Li Yan looked curious and looked intently at the giant statue located in the center of the white holy city.
The colossus is extremely tall, many times higher than all the buildings in the city. It is guaranteed that you can see the colossus from any place in the city.
Seeing this giant statue, Li Yan suddenly showed surprise.
"Angel!?"
This colossus is actually a seraph!?
Could it be that this seraph is the "god" that the ascetics are pursuing?
At the front, the ascetic who was walking slowly suddenly stopped, then took off the healing spirit from his shoulders and placed it on the rocks beside the road.
Then the ascetic rushed out in one step and reached the giant city in the distance in an instant.
"Qiang!"
Along with the ascetic's fierce charge, countless sharp blades were unsheathed.
Almost as soon as they arrived, the ascetics were stopped by a group of soldiers.
Li Yan discovered that in front of the giant city, there were actually hundreds of soldiers wearing pure white holy armor guarding the city.
These soldiers were like divine disciples, exuding a solemn and solemn atmosphere. They were all equipped with sharp silver fists and swords, blocking the path of the ascetics.
At the same time, a high priest wearing a white sacrificial robe, a silver helmet on his face, and golden sharp gauntlets on both hands stepped forward, looked at the ascetic, and said in a solemn voice:
"If you rebel against the path of pursuing God and return, you will be judged here and your soul will return to heaven!"
As the high priest's voice fell, behind the high priest, hundreds of gods held cold fist swords in their bare hands and rushed straight towards the ascetics.
"puff--!"
A divine disciple swung down his fist and sword with his right hand, and a bloody scar was pulled out in front of the ascetic.
Almost at the same time, the disciple who was wielding a fist and sword suddenly stopped and fell to the ground in pain.
The ascetics did not attack or even counterattack.
He just kept moving forward and continued to move towards the giant statue that represented the faith of the Holy City.
"What are you doing!? Hurry up and bring judgment on him! Anyone who retreats will be sent to the path of God!"
The high priest couldn't help but burst into anger when he saw that every time his disciples slashed at the ascetic, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Li Yan couldn't help but sweat for him when he saw the ascetic being beaten continuously.
Ascetics only recover blood quickly, but they are not immortal.
He just let others chop him and absorbed all the attacks. Can he withstand it?
Li Yan had already descended and landed next to the healing elf, stopping the anxious looking healing elf who wanted to save the ascetic.
If the healing spirit is castrated, the ascetic will go berserk.
"Don't be impulsive, I will protect him."
Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the anxious healing elf. While speaking, he summoned the Holy Light Mage.
Almost at the same time, scars were all over the ascetic's body, and the blood-red magic lines spread over half of his body.
Looking at the opponent, all the disciples have fallen to the ground.
All of them dealt a fatal blow to the ascetics.
Instead, they fell to the ground first.
Although the ascetic had shocking wounds all over his body, he still did not fall down, and his wounds were glowing with blood and seemed to be slowly shrinking.
The high priest in white was already stunned on the spot.
"How can it be!?"
"With this power, who are you?"
Scarlet lines were beating all over the ascetic's body. His steps were firm and he didn't stop for a moment. The blood had soaked his helmet and dyed his sight red.
He looked up at the statue that symbolized the holy city, and finally spoke firmly:
"I want to prove it."
"I want proof!!"
As the words fell, along with the scarlet magic patterns covering the ascetic's body, the violent breath of life was released.
The soldier who had just fallen tried to get up, but fell to the ground again in the face of the ascetic's violent power fluctuations.
The high priest in white stood in the field, looking in disbelief at the ascetic's helmet and shackles that were made a hundred years ago, feeling the terrifying energy erupted by the ascetic, and murmured:
"impossible!"
"This is impossible!!"
Li Yan originally wanted to send down the holy light and give the ascetic a mouthful of milk.
But now, Li Yan stopped.
The ascetic has magic marks all over his body, and all attributes have been maxed out. His figure is as firm as when he first turned around in the wasteland.
It seems that ascetics know very well that if they are injured, they will become stronger.
So the attack he just endured was just intentional on his part to enhance his physical condition.
"Crack——!"
At the front, the ascetic gathered strength, but the ground beneath his feet could not bear the violent force and was already cracking.
However, at this time, the white-clothed high priest looked at the ascetic's helmet, and regardless of the strength exploding from the ascetic's body, he stepped forward and shouted hysterically:
"You are the great priest from a hundred years ago!!"
"You are clearly exiled!"
"Why! Why are you back again!"
"Your faith! Isn't it the purest!!"
At the end, even Li Yan looked surprised when he heard the words of the white-robed priest.
The ascetic before his exile.
He is actually the great priest of this kingdom of God!?
No wonder the ascetic can walk alone for hundreds of years.
Facing the question of the white-robed high priest, the ascetic acted as if he had not heard anything. His eyes were always fixed on the white statue in the city, and his voice was hoarse and he said:
"If there is no God, end this meaningless penance and atonement."
The ascetic seemed to be talking to himself, or as if he was replying to the high priest in white, and continued:
"If there is a god! Let me end it! This god who brings suffering!!!"
As the ascetic's words fell, the aura around him had risen to the extreme, and the violent and scarlet breath of life rushed to the sky, even attracting the attention of countless residents in the city.
When the high priest heard the ascetic's words, he quickly said in horror:
"Do you know what you are talking about! You will be punished by God!!"
