Chapter 522 The Earth Writhes, Power of the Holy Beast_2
A small team in green robes, holding lanterns, traversed the vast Sea of Life on a small boat.
Finally, they reached the island, climbed countless steps, and ultimately arrived at the highest level of the Tree of Hundred Flowers.
The leader of the group slowly took off his heavy robe.
With a hint of mockery in his voice, he said:
"Blood Ancestor, I've heard that you can't even control your own little family, they've betrayed you."
"And you were beaten by a little guy to the point where you had to kneel and beg for mercy, only able to hide in this crack."
"Like a pathetic stray dog!"
The leader continued to taunt.
At this moment, a furious voice finally emerged from the top of this Tree of Hundred Flowers Beast:
"Say one more word, and I'll kill you!"
"Don't forget, old man, even though you're the Archbishop of the Earth Mother Goddess Church, you're still merely a weak Fifth Rank!"
The terrifying Sixth Rank pressure dissipated.
The people behind the robe were instantly pressed down by this force, unconsciously kneeling on the ground.
However, the leader continued to laugh:
"You can try, if you're not afraid of the Earth Mother Goddess, or rather, you're not afraid of the Empress's gaze."
Upon hearing the Empress's name, the grandfather hidden within the trunk of the Tree of Hundred Flowers fell silent and slowly appeared.
The weary-looking grandfather emerged from the tree trunk.
"You've indeed become stronger, my dear Blood Ancestor," the leader laughed.
The man before him had a neatly combed back head, but the wrinkles on his face indicated his age was quite advanced.
He is Norman, the Archbishop of the Imperial Capital Earth Mother Goddess Church, and the previous Pope of the Earth Shepherd God.
Throughout the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, he is also one of the strongest individuals.
Seeing the person before him, the grandfather suppressed the fire in his heart and sat down, saying:
"You simply don't understand, I don't get why our family could attract a Sixth Rank monster."
Sixth Rank? The Earth Archbishop furrowed his brow:
"Who is it?"
It's known that he is quite old, and he is aware of every Sixth Rank Transcendent in other kingdoms.
Moreover, these Sixth Rank Transcendents seldom leave their domains.
The grandfather said:
"A new one, he seems to come from the Witch Sea."
The tides of that sea are indeed..., the Earth Archbishop swallowed:
"However, you're too weak to even defeat a freshly ascended little guy."
The grandfather mocked:
"You go and fight?"
"I'll go, I'll go," the Earth Archbishop said with a smile.
Though he was merely a Fifth Rank Transcendent, he could gain powerful Sixth Rank strength through the unique object of the Forbidden Rift.
If luck stood on his side, killing the opponent wasn't impossible.
The Earth Archbishop was extremely confident.
After all, he might not even encounter the opponent.
The grandfather shook his head:
"Alright, this time, I called you here not to fight."
A glimmer of unprecedented hope flashed in the grandfather's eyes.
He was now forced into a desperate situation by Chen Qi and his family.
Now he has only one choice.
That is to capture the Fifth Rank Transcendent by any means, and then awaken the Beast of Hundred Flowers, initiating the ascending ritual!
Without ascension, death is inevitable!
Otherwise, what awaited him was only death.
However, under the presence of this Empress enveloping the land, he could never fully unleash his true strength.
Fortunately, every Bishop of the church needs to report their progress to the Empress every three months.
And the Earth Archbishop before him, though no longer the Pope, is one of the few closest to the Empress.
The Earth Archbishop is his most crucial backup.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the grandfather's eyes.
Have his actions already been noticed by the great Empress?
The Earth Archbishop's eyes fixed on the tense grandfather, particularly stern.
All at once, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile:
"Blood Ancestor, fortune stands on your side."
"!!!"
The grandfather's heart jumped violently.
"What do you mean?"
The grandfather was extremely excited.
The Earth Archbishop laughed and stated:
"At the edge of the Black Blood Empire and Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, a Forbidden Rift has appeared, and the Empress already went to that Forbidden Rift a week ago..."
"This..."
The grandfather's hand subtly trembled.
As a Demigod of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, the Empress can utilize the statue of the Earth Mother Goddess, the flowers of the earth, to detect those special spiritual powers.
Anyone who attempts to touch the existence of a Demigod cannot escape her eyes.
However, all of this has one premise.
That is, the Empress is located on this land.
The Earth Archbishop extended his hand and said:
"Hurry up, Blood Ancestor, this will be your only chance in this life."
"We are still waiting for you to kill this false Earth Mother Goddess."
In the eyes of many church leaders, the current Empress is merely a Fake God replacing the position of the Earth Mother Goddess.
Only when the Empress dies will the true Earth Mother Goddess, who once protected the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, return.
The Grandfather stood tall, gazing at the world before him, his eyes filled with endless ambition.
Upon hearing this news, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated.
The reason he couldn't defeat Chen Qi and the members of the family was that he expended a vast amount of Strength to cultivate his Monster Legion.
The Grandfather asked:
"When will the Empress return?"
The Earth Archbishop replied:
"One or two months maybe, that's a long Forbidden Rift.
Moreover, the Emperor of the Black Blood Empire also entered the Rift, I don't know the exact time either..."
One or two months... The Grandfather's heart pounded.
This time is enough.
As long as the Empress is not present, he will be the strongest existence on this earth.
He doesn't need any concealment, doesn't need any restraint.
The Grandfather proceeded forward, arriving on a giant leaf of the Tree of Hundred Flowers.
He gazed into the distance.
All the Titans and Monsters on the earth were before his eyes.
Come forth...
Creek! Creek!
On this land, countless undying monsters, under the command of the Grandfather, began to move like a beast tide.
"Beast of Hundred Flowers, after a hundred years of silence, you can finally feast."
He extended his hand, slowly dropping the Spiritual Power Cores he had collected.
The Spiritual Power Core fell to the earth like a dewdrop.
And the vast power also converged into the massive roots of the Beast of Hundred Flowers.
Like a gentle rain falling, beneath their feet, the bark of the Tree of Hundred Flowers began to tremble, countless buds blossomed, and countless blood-colored arms emerged from them—
At this moment, the giant tree before them resembled a standing Divine filled with flowers and arms.
Even more terrifying was the earth before them.
A green mountain range, stretching tens of thousands of meters, rose from the ground with a roar.
That was the hidden root of the Beast of Hundred Flowers beneath the ground!
Boom! Boom!
The core of that root was clearly at the exit of the Forbidden Rift.
At the same time, in the real world, the underground roots of the Beast of Hundred Flowers also began to tremble.
For the past century, the roots beneath the Art Capital had long connected with the roots of the Beast of Hundred Flowers!
The roots broke through the ground, and under the Grandfather's command, these roots, relying on their predatory instincts, sought more Fifth Rank Transcendents.
The Earth Archbishop looked at the scene before him.
Too insane.
He knew the Grandfather's actions just now were enough to cause chaos throughout the Kingdom, even destroy the entire Kingdom.
He initiated a catastrophe, and the only one who could stop him was not in this Kingdom.
And once discovered, he and his family will face destruction!
And those who helped the Grandfather, himself included, will not be spared.
They have already begun the countdown to death.
Life is about to fade, yet the Earth Archbishop felt no fear; instead, he was exceptionally excited.
"What a grand gamble..."
The Earth Archbishop raised a faint smile.
The Grandfather glanced sideways at the Earth Archbishop:
"The Beast of Hundred Flowers has already started its actions.
However, while the Beast of Hundred Flowers possesses great Strength, it can only search for them and not truly capture them, all of this..."
The Earth Archbishop walked beside the Grandfather:
"I know, I've already arranged some Hunters, though most are Fourth Rank Transcendents, but combined with your Monster Legion, they might capture some Fifth Rank Transcendents..."
"Indeed."
The Grandfather nodded.
He looked over the earth, at the constantly writhing flowered mountains.
The rolling stone of his desire had already fallen from the mountain peak, resounding with thunderous booms.
There is no turning back now...
But now, not even Chen Qi and the Golden Canary Family, nor the Empress, can stop him.
"It is time to change the Deity over this Kingdom's sky."
The Grandfather gently waved his hand.
His Monster Legion surged toward the rift's entrance like an unending tide.
