At the command of the white-robed elder, more than a dozen powerful protectors rushed towards Chen Mu.
"Fire element, incinerate!"
Chen Mu could sense that these guardians who had taken action had been completely brainwashed by the Demon Seed, so he simply burned them all to ashes with a single move.
"You... you're a devil!"
The white-robed elder was filled with horror. He hadn't even seen how Chen Mu made his move. In an instant, all the protectors who were attacking Chen Mu were engulfed by flames, leaving only a pile of ashes.
It should be noted that these guardians are all experts above the Qi Nourishing Realm, and several of them have even reached the True Spirit Realm. Even in a metropolis like Alkaid City, their strength can be considered elite.
"May your wisdom endure forever! Even if you kill me, the light of your wisdom will still shine upon this land, while you, a devil, will only wallow in endless hell."
The white-robed elder clasped his hands together, and the seven-colored halo behind him emitted boundless light. A blazing, luminous power surged forth, attempting to destroy Chen Mu.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Chen Mu was slightly surprised, because the attack emitted by the seven-colored light circle actually had the power of the Early Stage of the Core Formation Realm, and the nature of this power had nothing to do with the Otherworldly Demon. No wonder the Holy Light God Sect was able to spread throughout the Central Land.
Chen Mu stretched out his left hand to block the power of the seven-colored light circle, then made a fist with his right hand, and his powerful Dharma Power formed a giant palm, which grabbed the white-robed old man and pulled him in front of him.
"There's something strange about this aperture."
Chen Mu put his palm into the circle of light, and through the densely distributed detection runes on his palm, he quickly grasped the essence of this power.
This is a spiritual energy somewhat similar to the Divine Soul, but it is extremely vast and boundless. Its energy level seems to be above Spiritual Power, and it is about the same as one's own Dharma Power.
" The Power of Wishes —could this be the Power of Wishes of All Living Beings?!"
Chen Mu recalled some miscellaneous books he had read before, one of which mentioned a magical cultivation method that could condense the Power of Faith of others to empower oneself.
However, this cultivation method is regarded as a heretical path by mainstream cultivators and has been lost in the Pan Emperor Continent for many years. Unexpectedly, it will be used by the Heart Demon Emperor now.
"A demon! A demon has kidnapped the priest! We must go help the priest!"
After Chen Mu captured the white-robed elder, chaos ensued, and civilians rushed towards Chen Mu, attempting to attack Chen Mu.
"What a hassle!"
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
He could sense that these people had only been brainwashed by the ideology of the Holy Light God Sect and had not yet completely become Demon Slave. If he killed them all, the entire Alkaid City would probably be awash in blood.
He made a hand seal, and a light shield appeared around him, instantly preventing anyone from getting within ten feet of him.
" Old Zheng, keep an eye on Xiaohan for me, I'm going inside to check on him."
There was more than just the white-robed old man as a priest in this Holy Light Sect. Now that things had escalated, Chen Mu simply released his Divine Soul, enveloping the entire Holy Light Sect within it.
The Holy Light Sect is very large, with a total of six temples around it for worshippers. At this moment, the white-robed priests of the other five temples left their temples and ran to the square in the center of the Holy Light Sect.
It was obvious that the commotion we made had alerted them, which was why they had gathered together.
In the central square of the Holy Light Sect stands a colossal statue, around which five priests are now murmuring to themselves, as if in prayer.
Chen Mu grabbed the white-robed old man with one hand, took a step, and instantly teleported to the central square.
He looked up at the huge statue above. Since Xiaozhi had just collected the data on the Power of Wishes, he could now clearly see the energy distribution of the power of Power of Wishes in the air.
In his eyes, the entire church's Power of Wishes was now converging on the statue, being purified through its baptism, and then slowly entering the bodies of the white-robed priests.
"So this must be the Holy Light God!"
The statue depicts a man with six wings on his back, exquisite features, and a perfect physique. He gazes calmly ahead, exuding a vast and profound aura.
"May the Holy One protect me, may His Divine Power be boundless, and may He slay all evil!"
The five white-robed priests shouted in unison, and a holy, seven-colored halo rose behind the sacred statue, which then slowly began to move.
"It has been miraculous! The Holy Light God has appeared!"
Everyone come and see! That blasphemer will surely be destroyed by the Holy Light God soon.
One of the fanatical believers shouted, his whole body trembling with excitement.
This central square is a place only for devout believers to enter. Here, one can see the statue of the Holy Light God and more directly feel the ideas conveyed by the Holy Light God. It is a holy place for believers.
Countless believers surrounded Chen Mu. Chen Mu guessed that Xiaohan's father was probably here as well, but he had never seen Xiaohan's father before and could not tell which one it was.
boom!
The statue of the saintly being slammed down on Chen Mu's head, but it was easily blocked by his Dharma Power shield.
" The Power of Wishes of All Living Beings seems quite interesting!"
Chen Mu, seeing an opportunity, tossed the white-robed old man aside and faced the statue of the Sage directly.
The Holy Statue's strength is already close to the Late Core Formation Realm. The fact that the five priests below, who show no trace of Spiritual Power or Soul Power cultivation, can unleash such a powerful attack shows that the method of cultivating Power of Wishes is indeed unique.
The Dharma Aspect True Body, appear!
Chen Mu made a hand seal, and his body was immediately covered by Dharma Power, transforming into his Dharma Aspect True Body. He raised his fist and punched the statue of the Holy One.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
The statue of the Holy One was indeed not weak, but it was far inferior to Wang Yu, and it was no match for Chen Mu's Dharma Aspect True Body.
After only a few rounds, the statue of the saint was forced to retreat, and cracks began to appear on its body.
" Holy Radiance Blaze!"
Suddenly, a cluster of golden flames rose from the hand of the holy statue and struck Chen Mu with a palm.
" The Cold of Supreme Yin!"
Chen Mu's Dharma Aspect True Body remained fearless, condensing a water droplet in his hand, which collided violently with the Holy Radiance Blaze on the holy statue's hand.
With a soft "poof," two forces, one cold and one hot, dissipated, severely injuring many of the onlookers.
"Alright, I have important business to attend to, so I won't play with you guys anymore."
Worried that the battle here would harm Guo Xiaohan's father, Chen Mu decided to stop wasting time and a Five Elements Ring pattern lit up in the center of his palm.
With a loud bang, an explosion rang out, and the statue of the Holy One was thrown back in disarray, one of its arms blasted into pieces.
Chen Mu pressed his advantage, taking a step forward with lightning speed and grabbing at the chest of the holy statue with his claw.
With a soft "poof, "Chen Mu's hand pierced through his chest, and he caught a bright ball of light in his hand.
Smack!
As the orb of light was removed, the statue of the Holy One immediately began to fall apart, crashing to the ground and turning into a pile of rubble.
