Angel Battle Sword

The one who struck was Liewen.

He had originally intended to kill the blond young man outright, but after Luoye's warning, the blond young man still managed to react, causing Liewen's attack to miss its mark.

Liewen held the blond young man's severed arm.

A white ring was on the severed thumb.

"An Interspatial Ring!"

Liewen's eyes lit up. He immediately took it off and put it on his own hand.

An Interspatial Ring could store items. With one, important belongings could be carried at all times.

To those below the Saint Realm, such an item was a treasure. To Saint Realm experts, however, it was nothing remarkable; they could generally obtain one.

War God's personal disciples each basically had one. When Wharton got engaged, War God had even given him an Interspatial Ring as a congratulatory gift.

Liewen had only entered the Saint Realm recently and had not joined any major faction, which was why he did not have an Interspatial Ring of his own.

However, this Interspatial Ring did not yet belong to him. An Interspatial Ring had to be bound by blood before it could be used. The blond young man was still alive and had not removed the binding, so he remained its owner, and Liewen could not open it.

Besides the Interspatial Ring, the severed hand was still gripping that white longsword.

The blade of this white longsword was pure white throughout. Its hilt had flawless curves, and the guard was shaped like an angel's wings.

"This sword..."

The moment the longsword entered his hand, Liewen sensed that its material was extraordinary. Moreover, from what the blond young man had said earlier, he and Luoye had come for this sword.

He immediately cut open his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the longsword.

Generally speaking, anything that could be bound by blood was no ordinary item.

The blood seeped into the longsword, and it let out a ringing cry.

The binding had succeeded!

"Looks like that blond young man was too excited and did not bind it immediately." Liewen was delighted.

"You are Liewen Andrew!"

Enduring the pain of his severed arm, the blond young man glared viciously at Liewen.

White light covered the wound on his right arm as he used light magic to heal it.

Luoye and the Saint-level Two-Headed Silver Dragon also flew over, eyeing him menacingly.

After Liewen's battle with Useno, he had already been placed on the Radiant Church's blacklist as an extremely dangerous target who had to be killed.

"Liewen, this Angel Battle Sword belongs to our Radiant Church," Luoye said solemnly.

"Oh?" Liewen paid Luoye's words no mind. He tossed away the blond young man's severed arm and swung the Angel Battle Sword, getting used to its weight.

"From what I heard you discussing earlier, this sword should belong to that Purple-Eyed Golden Ape, right?"

Liewen looked toward the cave not far away. The blond young man had rushed out of it just now, so the Angel Battle Sword should originally have been inside.

The explosion caused by the blond young man's charge had collapsed the cave. Among the rubble, Liewen spotted some strange patterns.

His expression changed as he recalled something, and a trace of unease rose in his heart.

He released a stream of battle qi and swept aside all the rubble, revealing a complex magic formation. Its glow was dim now, clearly no longer functioning.

There was a gap at the center of the magic formation, where something should originally have been inserted.

Liewen examined the gap carefully. It matched the Angel Battle Sword in his hand perfectly.

"You pulled this sword out of that magic formation?" Liewen's face darkened.

"So what if I did?" the blond young man replied forcefully.

Liewen ignored him. He recalled the cave in the Mist Mountains.

Linley had become a Dragonblood Warrior in that cave, and he had also pulled the Violet Blood Soft Sword from the magic formation within it.

That magic formation sealed a spatial weak point between the Yulan Continent Plane and the Gebados Plane Prison.

Once the magic formation collapsed, the experts imprisoned in the Gebados Plane Prison could return to the Yulan Continent Plane through that spatial weak point.

The Yulan Continent Plane and the Gebados Plane Prison were two sides of the same whole.

In the Coiling Dragon World, every Material Plane had a connected prison plane.

Whenever Saint Realm or God Realm experts angered the Plane Overseer, the Plane Overseer would imprison them in a prison plane.

The Gebados Plane Prison held countless experts from the Yulan Continent who had angered the Plane Overseer over the years.

Under normal circumstances, several people would be sent there every ten thousand years. The Yulan Continent Plane had existed for endless ages, far more than hundreds of millions of years. One could only imagine how many experts were imprisoned in the plane prison.

The Gebados Plane Prison had an extremely harsh living environment, filled with bloodshed and slaughter. Everyone imprisoned there longed to return to the Yulan Continent Plane.

After Linley pulled out the Violet Blood Soft Sword, the Divine Beast Dylin escaped from the Gebados Plane Prison, triggering the Day of Destruction.

If this magic formation was also a spatial weak point, then with the Angel Battle Sword now pulled out, experts might escape from it as well.

"Go!"

Liewen immediately decided to leave. If a God Realm expert truly escaped from there, who knew what kind of temperament he might have? Staying here could get them killed.

"You want to leave? It won't be that easy!"

Liewen wanted to leave, but Luoye had no intention of letting him go.

They believed Liewen still possessed only the strength he had shown when defeating Useno.

They had no idea that Liewen had improved again during this time and was already comparable to a Saint Realm Limit expert.

Countless fine white threads emerged from Luoye's body as he tried to trap Liewen. His strength had never been inferior to Useno's, and with the Saint-level Two-Headed Silver Dragon assisting him, he was confident he could fight Liewen.

"Lord Luoye, hold him off first!" The blond young man stared fixedly at Liewen and began chanting an incantation.

The Angel Battle Sword was something he was determined to obtain. He would never allow Liewen to take it away.

The blond young man was named Benjamin, one of the Radiant Church's two papal candidates.

According to Radiant Church tradition, once a pope assumed office, he had to begin cultivating a successor to ensure an orderly succession.

One requirement for a successor was naturally faith in the Lord of Light and loyalty to the church. The other was strength.

The stronger one was, the more likely he was to become the next pope.

Benjamin was one of the two most outstanding people of his generation in the Radiant Church. Not only was he a light-element Saint Magus, he had also comprehended Fate Law.

Fate Law, Nature Magic, and Necromancy were simplified versions of the Rules of Fate, Life Law, and Laws of Death respectively. They had been passed down by three Overgods, so there was no need to mention their power.

What the current Radiant Pope Heidens cultivated was Fate Law.

Within the Radiant Church, it was not that only the pope could learn Fate Law. Rather, those who learned Fate Law had a great chance of becoming pope.

However, although Benjamin was outstanding, his rival was no less so and had also comprehended Fate Law.

As a result, the two had equal prestige within the church.

To surpass his rival, he had to make an effort elsewhere—for instance, by rendering great service to the church.

Such as killing Linley, killing Liewen, or becoming a Saint Realm Limit expert, even a God Realm expert.

By chance, Benjamin had discovered this Angel Battle Sword.

He could tell that the Angel Battle Sword was at least a divine artifact. If he could obtain it, it would undoubtedly count as a great achievement.

However, the Purple-Eyed Golden Ape was near the Angel Battle Sword, and he was not confident he could handle it alone.

Thus, he reported the matter to Heidens, who sent Luoye to assist him.

While Luoye kept the Purple-Eyed Golden Ape occupied, he successfully pulled out the Angel Battle Sword.

But he had never expected Liewen to ambush him.
