"After Blood Fortress, the Holy Church was also destroyed under the wrath of the Azure Emperor."
" The Holy Church is now in ruins."
"No, there aren't even ruins left. It's as if the entire site of the Holy Church was wiped out."
"No way, this is terrifying! That's Holy Church!"
" The Azure Emperor is defying the heavens!"
"Doesn't the Holy Church possess Holy Sanctuary Magic? Could it be that the Azure Emperor's power is stronger than the combined power of all the Holy Church's Martial Soul?"
"Hasn't Saint John already rushed there?"
" Saint John, the Holy Church, and the Holy Church's treasure Holy Ark —can't even that stop the Azure Emperor?"
"Invincible, Azure Emperor! Even the Divine Radiance Angel probably couldn't do this, could they?"
" The Divine Radiance Angel hasn't made a move in a long time. I heard he's been accumulating strength to break through to the Ninth Tier. But in terms of attack power, he might not be able to compare to the Azure Emperor. It's said that this time, with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening, the Azure Emperor used the More-More Fruit to amplify the Five-Hundredfold Quake Frequency, destroying the light arrow released by the Holy Ark with a single sword strike."
"That light arrow was destroyed in one strike? That's terrifying."
"I saw it too. That sword destroyed everything. After the attack, a huge canyon appeared on the ground. It was truly earth-shattering. Even many people watching from afar were blown away by the aftershocks."
"Yes, thankfully we were far enough away, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
This is different from the last battle at Blood Fortress.
No one outside the family knew about the last battle, but rumors had already spread before Zesi went to the Holy Church this time.
Leaving aside the Holy Church, the largest power in the Federation, the Fourth Shinobi World War Heavenly Supremacy Ranking Heavenly Supremacy Ranking attracted countless spectators.
Therefore, many people rushed to the vicinity of the Holy Church to watch before the battle even began.
However, due to the solemnity of the Holy Church, they only watched from a distance.
Thankfully, we were watching from a distance. If we had been closer and caught in the crossfire, we might not have survived.
"But no matter what, after this battle, there's no doubt that the Azure Emperor will rise to second Heavenly Supremacy Ranking."
"That's right. One person's power overwhelmed the entire Holy Church. If the Azure Emperor hadn't held back, the entire Holy Church might have been destroyed."
"Forget being second on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking, this level of combat power is enough to rival the Divine Radiance Angel for the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking."
"Although the Azure Emperor isn't the strongest, his combat power is simply too heaven-defying. With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening and the tremor frequency amplified by five hundred times, who could withstand such an attack?"
"Just thinking about it is terrifying."
"Perhaps he could even be number one on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking."
"That's impossible. The Divine Radiance Angel is Angel Martial Soul. Although it's only at the Eighth Tier, its combat power is definitely at the Ninth Tier. Moreover, it's said that Lucifer obtained an extraordinary treasure during his last adventure. Many people outside are eyeing this treasure, but they haven't come over because of Mercury's hundred-year protection period. With this treasure, even Ninth Tier opponent might not be his match."
"Moreover, I heard that with that treasure, the Divine Radiance Angel can advance directly to the Ninth Tier in no time."
"Although the Azure Emperor's combat power is strong, he hasn't even surpassed the Eighth Tier to reach the Ninth Tier, has he?"
"That's hard to say. I heard from the people at the Holy Church that Saint John even predicted that the Azure Emperor's attack power had surpassed the Eighth Tier and reached the Ninth Tier."
"Could it be that the Azure Emperor truly possesses the strength to rival the Divine Radiance Angel?"
People online were astonished and full of doubt.
In the Divine Desolation World, in the Holy Angel City, Lucifer also heard his subordinates' report.
"To be able to annihilate the Holy Ark Light Arrow enhanced by the Holy Sanctuary Magic with a single sword strike? That Azure Emperor's combat power has indeed reached the Ninth Tier. I never expected that such a heaven-defying individual would appear on Mercury."
Lucifer frowned upon hearing his subordinate's report and said...
Others may not know the power of Saint John 'Holy Ark, but Lucifer, who had withstood this attack, clearly understood just how terrifying it was.
"Lord Lucifer, with the Azure Emperor's combat power, he will inevitably grow stronger in the future. Once he grows stronger, I'm afraid..." Lucifer's subordinate said, the implication being self-evident, but he dared not say it aloud.
"This Azure Emperor is destined to rise, but that's fine too. After all, the hundred-year period is almost here, and those people are probably eager to get what I have. Having him around might help me share some of the pressure," Lucifer said calmly.
" The Azure Emperor is, after all, from the East. If we need to share the burden, Blood Earl Saint John of Blood would probably be a better choice."
"They have no right to share my burden," Lucifer said dismissively.
"Withdraw the kill order against the Azure Emperor Martial Soul Envoy and order all assassins to immediately withdraw from District Z."
"The Blood Earl said in a somber tone."
The assassin attack in District Z was orchestrated by Blood Earl.
After destroying Blood Fortress, Blood Earl even greater resentment towards the Azure Emperor and was preparing to intensify his pursuit of Zesi.
However, after the battle at the Holy Church, Blood Earl never had that idea again.
It wasn't just the pressure from Saint John, but also the recognition of Zesi's fighting prowess.
He used to dare to provoke Zesi because he thought that no matter how strong Zesi was, he might not be able to compare to him. Moreover, he had the huge power of Blood Fortress, so why would he be afraid of Zesi alone?
It doesn't matter if you provoke him.
But after this battle, Blood Earl completely changed his mind.
Blood Earl also went to watch the battle at the Holy Church. After witnessing Zesi's terrifying fighting power, Blood Earl immediately knew that the Azure Emperor was absolutely not someone to be trifled with.
Otherwise, if the Azure Emperor really went mad and launched a massacre in the West, probably no one outside of the Western Lucifer Azure Emperor.
Lucifer wouldn't risk his life for them and the Azure Emperor; even if he brought the entire Blood Fortress with him, it wouldn't be enough to stop the Azure Emperor's massacre.
"Unable to defeat him by force," was the Blood Earl's first thought after witnessing Zesi's battle.
So after that battle, without Saint John even needing to say a word, Blood Earl immediately recalled the assassins.
He also gave orders that any assassination attempts targeting the Martial Soul Masters of District Z or the Martial Soul of the Azure Emperor would be considered acts of defiance against Blood Fortress.
At the same time, Saint John also issued the same statement.
Surprisingly, Lucifer, who was always aloof, also issued the same order.
The Blood Earl and Saint John are not only two of the most powerful forces in the Divine Wilderness World's Strongest, but they also wield immense power and influence in the real world and within the Federation.
Not to mention Lucifer Divine Radiance Angel number one figure in the Federation.
Even if Zesi reached the top of the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking, he could never have the prestige and power of Lucifer.
He was the first person in the Federation in decades, and had always been a transcendent being.
After they made their move, the Assassins' Alliance immediately recalled its assassins and rescinded its orders to find and hunt Zesi, instantly restoring peace to District Z.
