Chaos

Countless Level 9 and Sanctuary-level magical beasts emerged from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and began wantonly wreaking large-scale destruction upon this land that had once belonged to humanity.

The Sanctuary magical beasts—the Purple-eyed Golden-haired Ape, Nine-headed Serpent Emperor, Tyrannosaurus, Blood-eyed Mane Lion, and the Golden Behemoth, said to be capable of tearing dragons apart with its bare hands—were all renowned throughout the continent. Each one required a peak human Sanctuary expert to restrain it, yet now they began their rampage with no one able to stop them. There were also countless Level 9 magical beasts: Silver Dragons, Black Dragons, Frost Dragons, and more.

There were also innumerable Level 8 and Level 7 magical beasts ravaging this land.

The once-sturdy walls of Fenlai's royal capital collapsed under the savage impacts of the Sanctuary-level Blood-eyed Mane Lion and Tyrannosaurus. Broken sections of wall and stones flew everywhere. Just a single collision between the two magical beasts sent flying rubble crashing down and killing many people.

The two beasts charging into the city were like two vicious wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, except the combat power of these two Sanctuary magical beasts was far beyond that of ordinary wolves. The gigantic beasts, each more than ten meters tall, charged straight into the terrified crowd and began a feast of slaughter.

Bolan happened to be rushing over from a small mountain outside the city when he witnessed this brutal scene. Though he desperately wanted to kill the two beasts, he was afraid. Before reaching the God-level, he would not last even a second against the divine beast Dilin before being slain. Nor would Dilin spare a mere human Sanctuary who stood in the way of the magical beasts' advance. Bolan gritted his teeth and rushed straight to the holy capital near the church, preparing to wipe out the Radiant Church in one stroke once Dilin broke through.

At this moment, the Radiant Church had also become an ocean of magical beasts. Countless high-level flying magical beasts surrounded the entire Radiant Church so tightly that not even water could pass through. Within the ranks of these Level 8 and Level 9 magical beasts stood more than a dozen enormous beasts, each bearing a fearsome reputation.

"Earth Violent Bear, Blood-eyed Mane Lion, Thunder-speed Lightning Leopard, Thunder Dragon, Tyrannosaurus..." These Sanctuary magical beasts hovered in the air. At their head stood a bewitching young man dressed in a dark-golden robe. It was Dilin.

Opposing the magical beasts were the forces of the Radiant Church led by Pope Heidens. There were six Sanctuary experts in total. Originally, there had been seven, but Wusennuo had been killed by Bolan. It was plain to see that the Radiant Church was at an absolute disadvantage. Every one of them looked utterly bedraggled.

Dilin, the leader of the magical beasts, said, "Sorry to disturb you on Yulan Festival, but I have something to inform you of. Your Radiant Church should find yourselves a new holy capital." His tone was domineering, as though the Radiant Church, which had ruled the continent for countless years, was nothing in his eyes.

No matter how furious Heidens and the others were, under the pressure of a God-level magical beast, they could only swallow their anger and surrender the holy city.

It was as though Dilin and the others above had already reached an agreement. Heidens and the Radiant Church's upper ranks, along with more than a dozen Level 9 experts and dozens of Level 8 experts, decisively abandoned their holy city and flew toward the Land of Chaos. The magical beasts left behind became even more unrestrained, reducing the Radiant Church's holy city, which had stood on the continent for countless years, directly to ruins. Heidens and the others had not yet flown far when they heard the rumbling collapse of the holy city behind them. Without looking back, they accelerated away. Though their hearts were filled with resentment, there was nothing they could do. The Radiant Church had no God-level expert, so they were destined to swallow this grievance.

What they did not know was that a god of death was waiting ahead to reap their lives. Bolan had long since been waiting along the route the Radiant Church's people had to take.

The Radiant Church's people flew over from the direction of the holy city, all of them looking miserable. Some were still cursing. "Damn magical beasts! Damn Dilin! Why doesn't he go after War God O'Brien and the High Priest? He only knows how to bully us!" Heidens and the other Sanctuary experts at the front remained silent. No one noticed that below them, a god of slaughter clad in azure dragon armor and holding two blood-red swords had been waiting for them for a long time.

Seeing that Lord Luoye, the leader of the Ascetic Legion, was closest to him, Bolan shot into the sky. Before the Radiant Church's people could react, he cleaved Luoye in two with a single sword stroke. Even at the moment of death, Luoye wore an astonished expression, as though he had never expected anyone to dare kill him amid the Radiant Church's forces. Heidens and the others were equally stunned that someone would dare ambush them in the presence of six Sanctuary experts. Seeing Lord Luoye slain outright, they immediately flew into a rage. Only Leiming, who had fought Bolan before, stared at the two blood-red swords in Bolan's hands in terror.

"It's Bolan Baruch!" Seeing the people around him charging directly at Bolan, Leiming shouted in fear.

Upon hearing Leiming's cry, the others did not slow down. Instead, they moved even faster.

We can't defeat a God-level expert, but can't we defeat a mere Dragonblood Warrior? That was what they all thought.

But reality proved that they truly could not. Bolan used only three strikes to break apart the combined attack of the five men. Then, with a casual sweep of his sword, he killed a red-robed archbishop at the early Sanctuary stage amid their stunned gazes. Blood splattered across the faces and bodies of those around him.

"Run! I'll hold him off!" Seeing Bolan so easily shatter the five men's combined attack and then forcefully kill a Sanctuary expert while surrounded, Leiming, who had initially been terrified by Bolan's appearance, stepped forward to block Bolan and told the Radiant Church's people to flee first.

The white birthmark on Leiming's forehead suddenly emitted a blinding radiance, while the silver staff that Bolan had previously cut in two became whole again. Dazzling white light burst from the staff as it smashed toward Bolan.

Bolan guessed that Leiming had used some kind of forbidden technique. At this moment, Leiming's strength was certainly no less than that of a peak Sanctuary expert. But such a powerful forbidden technique had a fatal flaw: it consumed one's life. Even though reaching the Sanctuary level in the world of Coiling Dragon granted one endless life, the price of the forbidden technique Leiming used could not possibly be so simple.

Heidens and the others finally snapped out of it at Leiming's shout. Heidens felt deeply humiliated. How had the Radiant Church, which had dominated the continent for countless years, fallen so low that anyone could bully it?

"Everyone, scatter and flee!" Seeing Leiming use a forbidden technique, Heidens knew Leiming intended to use his life to carve out a path of survival for them. He could only painfully issue this humiliating order.
