"Despicable!" Mu Yun roared. He originally thought that Kraken was attacking Conch Douluo, but in fact, he wanted to use this attack to remotely restore Tieshan and Mo Yuan! "So this is your goal!"
"Coral Douluo! Well done!" High Priest, in the midst of his busy schedule, swept over with his spiritual thoughts and saw Coral Douluo "sacrifice" himself to absorb the terrible Energy Orb, successfully "thwarted" Kraken's "conspiracy", couldn't help but let out a cheer with regret and approval! In his opinion, Coral Douluo maintained the stability of the battle situation at all costs!
However, just as High Priest cheered, his mind relaxed slightly due to Coral Douluo's "bravery" -
Changes, sudden changes!
"Roar--!!!"
A dragon's roar that seemed to come from the ancient times, full of endless majesty, domineering and destruction, exploded without warning from the depths of the clouds directly above Sea God Island! This dragon's roar was so vast and terrifying that it even instantly overwhelmed all the roars on the battlefield!
Immediately afterwards, the clouds were torn apart by a pure, domineering dark golden power that seemed to be able to tear the sky apart and destroy all laws! A ferocious dragon claw covered in pitch black ink but flowing with dark golden divine light suddenly emerged from the shattered space!
It's Dragon God Claw! Moreover, its target is none other than High Priest who was distracted for a moment!
The timing of this attack was extremely cunning and vicious! It was an absolute gap between High Priest and Demon Empress, who had just fought hard, and had just lost their old strength and had no new strength, and were slightly relaxed because of Coral Douluo's "bravery"! Moreover, it was a sneak attack from directly above that he was absolutely unexpected!
"What?!" High Priest was so stunned that he had no time to make any effective defense or dodge. He could only rely on Limit Douluo's instinct to place Sea God Scepter in front of him, injecting the remaining divine power crazily, and at the same time activating several life-saving Soul Tool items on his body!
"Dang--!!! Chila--!!!"
Dragon God Claw gripped Sea God Scepter hard! The scepter, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of Demon Empress, let out an overwhelmed whine! The light of the scepter dimmed instantly, and a streak of Clear cracks emerged! Immediately afterwards, Dragon God Claw's indestructible dark gold edge Penetration broke through the scepter's defense and grabbed High Priest's chest!
"Pfft--!"
As if High Priest was hit by a meteorite, the protective divine light and Soul Tool Shield were shattered like paper. Several terrifying claw marks with deep visible bones and even squirming internal organs appeared on the chest instantly! The destructive power of dark gold was crazy. It invaded his body and eroded his meridians, Soul Core and soul! He spat out a mouthful of pale golden divine blood mixed with internal organs fragments. His whole body was like a kite with broken strings, flying backwards violently, and his breath plummeted and wilted at a terrifying speed!
"High Priest!" Coral Douluo, Sea Swallow, Sea Turtle Douluo, Conch Douluo, Mu Yun and others roared in despair.
However, the attack is not over yet!
At the moment when High Priest was seriously injured and flying upside down, and his consciousness was blurred by the severe pain and erosion, Demon Empress, who had been fighting fiercely with him head-on, flashed a trace of cold sarcasm and joy in her golden and purple eyes. Her huge body adjusted slightly, and her huge mouth was aimed at High Priest, who was flying upside down. Her golden eyes and purple eyes lit up with dazzling light at the same time!
"Vortex... strangle!"
A two-color spiral of dark gold and deep purple appeared inside, with space cracks tearing at the edges, exuding a terrifying energy vortex of Devouring and the aura of annihilation of all things. It was like teleporting, arriving first, striking hard and swallowing up the seriously injured High Priest!
"Boom--!!!"
The two-color vortex rotated crazily, strangled, and annihilated! From inside came High Priest's extremely suppressed groan of pain and the fluctuations of fierce burning resistance of divine power! When the vortex slowly dissipated, a charred, ruined figure with terrifying claw marks and erosion marks on its chest, and a breath so weak that it was almost extinguished, fell feebly towards the sea.
It is High Priest! He is not dead yet, but he is already seriously injured and on the verge of death, his combat power is reduced to ten percent, and his foundation is completely destroyed!
"Target accomplished. Withdraw." Demon Empress's cold voice echoed across the battlefield without any hesitation. Her huge body twisted first and crashed into a huge space crack that opened unknown when. Tieshan and Mo Yuan got rid of their opponents without hesitation. Afterwards, Kraken also "unwillingly" sprayed a mouthful of poisonous mist towards the three Coral Douluo, rolled up his tentacles, and disappeared into the crack together with the shadow of Di Tian who had just recovered Dragon God Claw and revealed a pair of cold golden eyes from the clouds.
"High Priest!" Coral Douluo and others rushed over like crazy to catch the falling High Priest. Ye Yang had passed away, and everyone could only hurriedly transfer the most precious elixir and treatment Soul Skill to High Priest was hit on the body, but with little effect. High Priest's injuries were too serious, especially the "Dragon God Claw" and "Vortex Annihilation", which almost cut off his life, and he was only hanging on to his life with the last afterglow of Sea God's Power.
The high priest opened his cloudy eyes with difficulty, and slowly glanced at the people around him - the sad and angry Mu Yun, the conch with depleted soul power and blood on the corner of his mouth, the pale and unstable Haiyan and Turtle, and... Coral, who was "seriously injured" in order to "save" his colleagues, and was looking at him with "sadness" and "concern" on his face.
His gaze finally settled on Coral Douluo's face. Yes... Coral Douluo... At the critical moment, she did not hesitate to absorb the fatal blow, saving Conch Douluo, and indirectly stabilizing the flank battlefield... She is loyal, brave, and... After experiencing the deaths of Ye Yang and Crayfish Douluo, she transformed painfully and became more tenacious.
Today's Sea God Island, Sacred Pillar are withering, surrounded by powerful enemies, internal and external troubles... We need someone who can stabilize the situation and get support from the remaining Sacred Pillar, and at the same time... someone who is delicate and knows how to tolerate and sacrifice.
"Cough... cough cough..." High Priest coughed out a few more mouthfuls of golden blood foam. He used his last strength to raise his trembling hand, stained with his own blood, and slowly but firmly held Coral Douluo's hand.
"Shan...Coral Douluo..." His voice was as weak as a gossamer, but it carried an undeniable heaviness of a final entrustment, "I... I can't survive...Sea God Island... I leave it to you..."
"High Priest!" Coral Douluo "trembled all over", tears burst out of his eyes instantly, and he shook his head desperately.
"Listen... listen to what I have to say..." High Priest held her hand tightly, with the final majesty and pleading in his eyes, "You... are the next...High Priest... in the name of Sea God... I... appoint you..."
He took a breath and looked at Mu Yun, who was also shocked and grieved next to him. "... Assisted... Elder Mu... completed...God Trial... This is... the oracle... also...Sea God Island... the last... hope... keep... remember..."
Before he finished speaking, he held Coral Douluo's hand and dropped it feebly. Those eyes that had witnessed the rise and fall of Sea God Island for hundreds of years and experienced countless storms finally slowly closed, and their breath... completely fell into silence. Only in the corner of his mouth, there seemed to be a trace of regret for not being able to protect the holy land, and a trace of... relief after being entrusted with a heavy responsibility?
"High Priest--!!!" The mournful cry echoed through Sea God Island.
Coral Douluo knelt there "dumbly", holding High Priest's already cold hand, looking at the lifeless old face in front of him, then raised his head, looked at the sobbing colleagues around him, looked at the devastated holy land, and looked at the deep ocean in the south that seemed to hide endless conspiracies and sneers...
"Tears" kept rolling down her eyes, full of "sadness", "confusion" and "huge pressure". However, in the deepest part of the tears and grief, a cold and dark light that was extremely difficult to detect quietly flashed through.
The plan... worked.
