Chapter 571: The Fall of the Holy Light God

However, as a combat race, this minor injury cannot impair the Pope's fighting ability.

Instead, it gave him a chance; a bright holy light erupted in his palm, seizing the low‑flying evil spirit black dragon on the other side.

That black dragon had intended to flank and ambush, but unexpectedly became the target of the opponent's surprise attack, lagging a beat in an instant.

And that one‑beat delay gave the Pope a chance to seize its neck, and with a single surge he struck the black demonic dragon, causing black pearls to burst and spray, rendering it unable to fend for itself.

"Come, take my fist!"

Yet at this pivotal moment that could have turned the battle, the Pope's sharp, imposing holy light blessing suddenly vanished.

No, it wasn't just the blessing that disappeared; it must have been all the holy light!

It was as if a light bulb were pressed out, a flame blown out, and the entire Sheng Guang Jiao Tang found that no one could wield holy light any longer.

That means…

Bang!

As a brutal Five-Colored Dragon, now transformed into a chaotic evil spirit demon dragon, they have never cared about any martial virtue.

Thus, not only the red demonic dragon, even the black demonic dragon that had barely been captured, after seeing the Giant Pope's light vanish, bit back fiercely.

"Roar!"

Although the intense pain snapped the Pope to his senses, he grabbed the black demonic dragon biting his wrist and hurled it out like a thrown bat.

But the dissipating divine blessing, and the holy light cooling in the ground beneath his feet, still reduced his momentum to the extreme.

Even the red demonic dragon's opportunistic swipe couldn't hold; its massive body turned into a rolling gourd, crashing down three towering mountains in succession.

If up to this point anyone could still stubbornly claim that the Holy Light God remains in the divine realm, that the light is unextinguished,

then, after the Holy Mountain was completely extinguished, a spontaneously formed rain cloud enveloped it, and a golden rain, tainted with filthy, bloody scent, fell.

The fall of the Holy Light God has become an indisputable fact.

Now there is truly no hope; the entire church is filled with wailing, countless desperate, weeping, and self‑destructive souls.

Moreover, as the largest‑scale human calamity of the Sun‑Moon— the Sacred Disaster.

At the instant the Holy Light God fell, every Sheng Guang Jiao Tang in the Hui Guang Kingdom exhaled a suffocating pressure.

Loyal believers, wherever they are, suddenly feel an empty void in their hearts!

After a brief doubt, like a landslide.

"No! My lord… what has happened to my lord!?"

"Has the Holy Light God, the old man, fallen?"

"Heavens!"

Although a similar effect did not occur on Ji Ming, judging from the completely extinguished Divine Ring and the 【sealed】 Judgment of the Saint…

"Uh uh, the old sun really died?"

【At least I'm already out of contact here】

"Damn!"

However, holy light has long ceased to be Ji Ming's primary combat ability, so he didn't turn back; instead, he surged toward the Holy Mountain, accelerating a few strides.

With this trade‑off, the Giant Pope was nearly torn apart by the two demon dragons, only taking hits without a chance to retaliate, in a rather miserable state.

Thus, when he suddenly felt the pressure drop and tried to look up under the cover of his two arms, he was stunned by what lay before him.

"Roar!"

"Demon dragon, shut up!"

A tiny figure, like a firefly, darted through the air, wielding thunder light, single‑handedly chasing the two demon dragons.

... Alright, not a firefly, it's basically a meteor!

Perhaps because he's accustomed to massive boss fights with giants, where punches land flesh‑to‑flesh, moving mountains, toppling trees, and stirring sand and stone.

Now facing a normally sized human opponent, the two demon dragons, in their haste, fell into a disadvantage, their scales burned with several holes!

Moreover, as an unknown power from the Infinite Upper Realm, thunder light divine power inherently carries a bizarre special‑attack effect, like scorching them with a cigarette tip—excruciatingly painful.

【Uh, I thought of…】

"Don't think!"

But Ji Ming has so far not crossed the Level 80 barrier; in front of him are two demon dragons that are far better than the legion's demon dragons, so they should have some upkeep, at least they haven't completely turned into withered legendary demon dragons.

Thus, after leveraging his size advantage and seizing a brief upper hand, then engaging in a chaotic melee with the two demon dragons that have recovered, he feels somewhat lacking in stamina.

"Divine Chosen!"

But in this dark version where the Holy Light God has fallen, JiMiYin the Great Deity can still emit light and heat on its own, making it both lofty and solid.

So the Pope, seeing this, had no comment, swallowed the spirit‑gathering medical pack Ji Ming tossed, and quickly got up to help.

However, after giving him a glance, Ji Ming did not rejoice, merely advising.

"No need for the Pope's crown, the others are in greater trouble; you go help them first!"

At this point, the four Level 70 fighters Ji Ming brought had already joined the battlefield, clashing into a tangle with the half‑day‑tired Level 70 demon dragon officers.

And Xiguang Duke's influence remained sufficient; although he couldn't restore the collapsing church morale, organizing a modest resistance was still feasible.

Thus, when the Giant Pope halted the peak confrontation, turned back, and using his Level 80 prowess to bully smaller foes, beating up various minor demon dragons, the situation surprisingly improved.

Of course, everyone knows this is a false tailwind; all victory still lies in the heavens, whether the Divine Chosen can withstand the pressure from the two Level 80 great demon dragons.

"Ah this, need I say? I definitely can't hold up!"

Even with Ji Ming wielding thunder light divine power in one hand and righteous Qi protection in the other, he couldn't endure the flanking of the two legendary beasts, struggling endlessly, and finally fell into disadvantage.

【Ah?】

The little boss was stunned; since the Savior's descent, it had never seen Ji Ming at a disadvantage in combat.

After all, this old rogue always talks his way out of fights, and if he can bluff, he won't tear his own face.

By the time he makes a move, he'll be absolutely certain—a full hundred percent!

【So, Savior, you really can't defeat them?】

"Um… I think we should be able to escape, otherwise it'd be a disaster."

【Really? You're not trying to trick me, are you?】

"I'm not lying, I'm not omniscient; before coming I didn't expect a fully committed level‑80 to be this strong!"

【What should we do then? Go to the dungeon to call for help?】

"Probably not; I ordered them to mobilize fully, and they've all gone to reinforce the Radiant Ancestral Land."

"Sigh, actually the pressure over there is greater than ours; there shouldn't be any units above level‑80 that can be deployed here."

Those words left the little boss silent for a long while; seeing Ji Ming truly willing but powerless, almost struck by a breath of the Black Demon Dragon, they couldn't help but speak.

【Um, Savior, as your loyal World Will, I must remind you that you still have dozens of skill points unspent.】

Ji Ming: "Oh, right!"

【Huh?】

"No, what I mean is… I know, it's just to meet them first, to test the depth, that's all."

【...】

"Really!"

Ji Ming currently has sixty‑six skill points in reserve; under his frugal mindset, that's essentially never having used any.

But money, no matter how much you hoard, eventually has to be spent, and the same goes for points.

Now, then, the time has come to unleash what we've accumulated!

The first skill Ji Ming enhanced was the Cramp Technique.

After acquiring the instant‑hair‑style attack skill Saint's Judgment, this once‑leading control chain soldier hadn't been used for a long time.

Unexpectedly, with the gods' blessings gone, one day it could return to the eyes of Ji Ming, who has seen countless sails.

Haha, perhaps that's a kind of karmic cycle.

Ji Ming didn't waste it; instead, he patiently added points bit by bit until a full ten points were poured in, causing a qualitative change before stopping.

【Withering of All Things Technique: just wave a finger at the target, and the target's flesh will gradually lose vitality.】

【Intro: I know this effect sounds overpowered, but don't rush; it does have resistance, what if it can't flow?】

Although the intro was cautious, Ji Ming tried it and found the effect quite good.

At the very least, the Red Demon Dragon, which previously showed no reaction to the Cramp Technique, slowed its flight speed noticeably after this move.

"Hm?"

Moreover, the Red Demon Dragon had no idea what was happening, assuming it was due to its interrupted nap.

It then amusingly kept readjusting its flight posture, trying to figure out what was going on.

Seeing the point addition useful, Ji Ming added another ten points to the Fart Technique, which shares its name with the Cramp Technique.

And the upgraded Fart Technique likewise follows its original design, because its skill effect is…

【Annihilation of All Laws Technique: just hook a finger at the target, and the target's various transcendental energies, including mana, will start to drain.】

【Intro: Rest assured, the basic fart effect remains, and it will add extra effects, after all the invincible vagabond's weapons aren't limited to this.】

Ji Ming's experimental target this time was the Red Demon Dragon, and he struck precisely while she was spewing dragon breath.

As a result, after he hooked his finger, the opponent's extremely fierce dragon breath halted, and she coughed several times as if suddenly choked.

"What's happening? Why did it suddenly stop spewing?"

Having obtained these two literally 'dragon‑slaying' moves, Ji Ming felt steadier inside and no longer rushed.

It was like suddenly cheating midway through a game; the now‑difficulty‑free situation made everything seem less important.

Thus, instead of using those two skills to continue tormenting the Red and Black Demon Dragons for a swift victory, he actually slowed his attack pace.

But he felt at ease, while the two dragons grew increasingly impatient.

After countless years, finally getting such a chance to make a name for himself, only to be interrupted by some inexplicable little bean that flew over?

More importantly, those two Thus we will have Cultivation: Zhen Shen have already slain the Holy Light God; if we still have to pay a huge price to capture the Holy Light Church, then they would have contributed nothing to this battle!

Damn, if you do it like this, how can we ever hold our heads up in the organization later!

Regarding Ji Ming, they naturally kept breathing and biting, fighting desperately to bring him down.

However, as mentioned before, Ji Ming, now with a guaranteed win, has already changed his mindset.

It's as if he activated an invincible cheat; he no longer cares about those attacks.

And aerial combat, under this relaxed mindset, actually performed even better.

After dodging several pursues and blockades, he even had the leisure to see how Lord Xi Jue and the others were faring.

"Not bad, they've already teamed up to slay three dragon officers; the old man is really efficient."

Now the dragon sisters are truly upset; the younger Red Demon Dragon even started swearing loudly.

"Cowardly meatworm, is all you can do to run away?"

Ha, finally couldn't help but want to negotiate, huh?

In fact, unbeknownst to them, the battlefield of the three of them had already shifted from near Holy Mountain to a sparsely populated northern mountain region.

And Ji Ming led them here not to lure them to a deserted spot for killing, but rather to make the battle more lively.

Thus, after downing another bottle of SpiritGathering Liquid, Ji Ming stopped his retreat outright, and then…

Then, squatting in midair, he began to sob uncontrollably: "Great! Waa—, great!"

Demon Dragon:???

Even though just now the sudden feeling of total limpness wasn't that chilling, the two dragons were truly frightened by Ji Ming.

They even looked around for a while, then layered two magical shields on themselves before tentatively speaking.

"You! What do you mean?"

Ji Ming cried for another two eight‑beat intervals, and only after he had completely aroused the two dragons' curiosity did he speak.

"Don't you find it strange? I'm just a mere Chosen One, how could I possibly have the strength to oppose two great dragons of the eighty‑level rank?"

Black demon dragon: "Um, I think…"

Red demon dragon: "It does seem rather strange?"

Black demon dragon: "... Um, yeah, that's how it is."

……

Hehe, appraisal complete, indeed it's two 2B!

Seeing the two dragons actually follow his guidance and start pondering, Ji Ming couldn't help but smile inwardly.

Demon dragons are fine in every way, but as bizarre undead‑type creatures they are a real headache; even an eighty‑level one is only fit to be a fool.

Given that, I can't blame myself for fooling them!

So after wiping his tears, Ji Ming let out a long sigh, as if with a story to tell.

"Although I don't know where you come from, since you are also demon dragons, you must know Demon Lord Pa Te Li Xi Ya, right?"

【Oh my god, I knew you were going to play the dead card; just because they're dead, can't they have a little peace?】

"Yang Yue, shut up!"

The Battle of Falling God Peak was widely disseminated, but the authorized full version was actually very rough and didn't elaborate much on the details.

At least it didn't detail Ji Ming's actions as the Chosen One; after mentioning his capture, there was hardly any more narrative.

So Ji Ming was gambling, betting that the two dragons before him knew the hidden truth behind this matter.
