Jinyi Youth, who was collapsed at the Shadow City gate, appeared to be Judgment Hall Master's nephew, but in fact, he was Judgment Hall Master's illegitimate son who had been hiding for decades and never revealed anything to the outside world.
This matter was extremely secretive and was suppressed by the Judgment Hall Master. No one in the entire Shadow Church or the entire Shadow City, from the top Radiant Church to the ordinary monks, knew about this shady blood relationship.
It is precisely because of this layer of protection that no one knows that young people can be unscrupulous and domineering in Shadow City, bully men and women, commit all kinds of evil, and repeatedly cause terrible disasters, but they can be suppressed and smoothed over by Judgment Hall Master without any mistakes.
But this time, everything ended completely.
His lifelong cultivation was abolished by Shiheng himself, his meridians were cut off, and he was reduced to a useless person. Even if he saved his life, he would only be able to live like a zombie from now on, without even half of the arrogance of the past.
For Judgment Hall Master, who valued his face and bloodline as his top priority, such an ending was no different from dying directly, and was even more humiliating.
When the monks under his command sent the news back to the Judgment Hall, the majestic palace shrouded in endless shadows was instantly swept away by a cold aura that destroyed the world.
In the hall, Judgment Hall Master was sitting on a dark throne, his robes motionless in the wind. The extreme pain of losing his son and the overwhelming anger completely destroyed the reason and character he had cultivated all his life.
He is the supreme power of Saint Apex and the true ceiling of Saint's practice. He is only the last step away from the God realm that everyone admires.
Looking at the entire Yulan Continent, there are only a handful of strong people who can reach this level, and one would be dissatisfied with counting them on both hands. Each one of them is an existence that can make the continent tremble and all forces compete to win over them.
Ordinary forces, even the top empires, would not dare to easily become enemies of such powerful men. To have a grudge against them would be tantamount to setting themselves on fire, and it would be an extremely unwise act of self-destruction.
But at this moment, Judgment Hall Master no longer cares about this.
The blood-connected parent and son ended up like this, and his endless anger had already burned all his reason. He had forgotten all about weighing the pros and cons, the layout of the continent, and the fear of powerful enemies.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to make Shiheng pay for his debt with blood, crushing his bones and raising ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Since Shiheng entered the city, he has never deliberately concealed his aura and whereabouts. In addition, Shadow Church, as the top power in the mainland, has an intelligence network covering every corner of Shadow City, with dense eye-catchers and extremely fast message transmission.
In just half a stick of incense, a piece of extremely detailed information recording all of Shiheng's past achievements, cultivation strength, and life experiences was delivered to Judgment Hall Master's hands.
The thin piece of information was tightly clenched on the fingertips, and the paper was wrinkled under the extreme force. Murderous intent surged in Judgment Hall Master's eyes, Laws of Darkness's whole body was frantically agitated, and the tables and chairs in the hall instantly shattered inch by inch.
"Shiheng... what a Shiheng!"
He gritted his teeth and spoke every word. His voice was cold and bone-chilling, with a hatred that would destroy the world, "If you dare to hurt my own son and destroy my foundation, just wait for me. This time I will make your soul fly away and you will never be reincarnated!"
After the words fell, Judgment Hall Master moved and disappeared in the Judgment Hall instantly. When he reappeared, he had reached the deepest part of Shadow Church, which was heavily guarded and prohibited anyone from entering at will. Pope Secret Chamber.
Within Shadow Church, there have always been two sets of authority systems, light and dark.
On the surface, Shadow Pope is the master of Radiant Church, holding the power on the surface, ordering all the monks of Radiant Church, and representing the entire Shadow Church to the outside world. He is the recognized leader of Radiant Church in the mainland.
But in the dark, Judgment Hall Master holds the power of life and death for Radiant Church, commands Judgment Hall, and is in charge of all assassinations, punishments, and secret affairs. His power is deep-rooted, and he is the real number one person behind Shadow Church, with far more say than Pope.
In Secret Chamber, the light is dim and filled with extremely rich Shadow Divine Power. The surrounding walls are engraved with strange Shadow Runes, exuding a cold and frightening atmosphere.
Shadow Pope is sitting on the high stone seat of Secret Chamber, his whole body is shrouded in a faint shadow halo, his eyes are slightly closed, and his breath is unfathomable, as if he is integrated with the entire Secret Chamber.
Judgment Hall Master walked straight to the center of Secret Chamber without stopping. Without any courtesy, he got straight to the point. His voice was cold and biting, with undisguised murderous intent. "Pope, I have something important to discuss."
Shadow Pope slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with deep darkness. No emotion could be seen in his eyes. He said calmly, "The master's aura is so restless this time, but something big happened?"
"Shiheng is here, Shadow City, and he has destroyed my people!" Judgment Hall Master's voice suddenly worsened, and hatred surged in his eyes, "This man has already reached the peak of his age at a young age. If you reach Saint Apex, you and I are no match for it. Your talent and strength are extremely terrifying. Given time, you will definitely be able to break through Saint Apex, become a god in one step, and achieve Divine Position!"
"I, Shadow Church, have been feuding with him for many years. All the grudges in the past have been deeply rooted. The conflicts cannot be reconciled, let alone resolved. If he is allowed to grow up, he will become the biggest threat to me, Radiant Church!"
"This time he took the initiative to step into Shadow City and fell into our territory. God wants to kill him. It is a God-given opportunity for us to eradicate this scourge! Pope, what do you think?"
Shadow Pope Hearing this, a trace of solemnity finally flashed in his eyes, and then he was covered by a fierce look. He tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the stone seat, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "What you said is true. This boy is a great threat. He is a rare genius in ten thousand years. No one can predict whether he can take the last step and successfully break through and become a god."
"We cannot afford to bet on such a potential threat, and we dare not bet on it."
"With his current Saint Apex strength, if we confront him head-on, even if you and I join forces, we have no chance of winning. We may even be counterattacked by him, causing Shadow City to fall into turmoil."
At this point, Shadow Pope changed the subject, and a hint of viciousness and determination flashed in his eyes. "But he should never, never, should not step into Shadow City alone."
"This is my Shadow Church's holy city, our home ground! On our territory, even if it is a hidden dragon, it has to be coiled up, and even if it is a tiger, it has to lie down!"
Judgment Hall Master's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Pope, do you have any countermeasures?"
Shadow Pope slowly stood up, Shadow Divine Power surged around his body, his voice was deep and fierce, with unquestionable determination. "Start Shadow Secret Scripture, prepare God Descent!"
"Go and preside over the ceremony in person, activate the power of Shadow True God enshrined by me, Shadow Church, and let True God come to the mainland. Use the power of God Descent to kill Shiheng with your own hands and completely eliminate this potential disaster!"
"In addition, this move can shock the entire continent and make all those forces who covet me, Radiant Church, see clearly--"
"I, Shadow Church, have stood on the mainland for countless years. What kind of terrifying secrets I hide? Whoever dares to be my enemy, Radiant Church, will be punished by Shiheng!"
As soon as the voice fell, Secret Chamber was instantly enveloped by a cold and sacred aura. A shocking conspiracy against Shiheng was finalized. A God Descent catastrophe that could shake the entire Shadow City was about to begin.
