Chapter 263: Great Chaos on the Divine Mountain
"Destroy it, destroy it for me!" Xiao Shen, the Vice Hall Master of the Adjudication Hall, roared.
Behind Xiao Shen were two hundred adjudicator mages, entirely composed of outstanding High-Level Mages. At this moment, they were completely devoid of combat power, their magic maps in their minds utterly chaotic.
Demons possessed an extremely strict hierarchy: servants feared generals, generals obeyed commanders, and commanders prostrated before monarchs. This hierarchy was not based on bloodline, but rather on the terrifying deterrent force that every higher-level creature exuded from every part of its body.
Mo Fan's aura directly reached the level of a Pseudo-Emperor!
Although it was only a half-step Emperor, just touching the edge meant surpassing a Monarch by an unknown margin!
This deterrent force was like a mental magic so powerful it was impossible to resist, completely breaking down people's psychological defenses!
"War Drum!"
A sound of encouragement came from behind. Great Sage Mei Ruola made her move once again. She used Sound magic, employing inspiring magical sounds to dispel the fear in the hearts of the adjudicator mages.
At the same time, other Sound Mages and Blessing Mages also took action.
As they all took action simultaneously, the pressure significantly decreased.
"Gah~~~~!!!!"
At this moment, the Totem Xuan Snake opened its massive mouth, and a black tide of wind surged out. The immense serpentine breath was like a wind disaster, sweeping wantonly through the adjudicator mages.
The adjudicator mages had just managed to condense powerful magic, but they were immediately subjected to the Totem Xuan Snake's serpentine breath. The black wind tide swirled up to the sky and spread across the entire peak platform, affecting thousands of people.
The serpentine breath was inherently poisonous, but the Totem Xuan Snake had no intention of killing humans. Therefore, most of the adjudicator mages were merely swept into the sky like blades of grass, tumbling several times before falling back down, not directly melting into liquid from this single breath.
The terror of Mo Fan and the Totem Xuan Snake momentarily made even the powerful Parthenon seem to be at a disadvantage.
However, the Parthenon was full of brainwashed loyalists. Regardless of their faction, at this very moment, they all surged towards Mo Fan.
While they fought, most people on the peak platform had already retreated to a distance.
But at this moment, they were also shocked. Could it be that the Parthenon Temple's military might was unable to stop the Totem Xuan Snake and that mutated powerhouse?
Indeed, to them, he was nothing less than a mutated powerhouse.
"Temple... Temple Mother... Something is terribly wrong!" A Sage rushed over on a deer-beast from the direction of the Goddess Hall.
The deer-beast stopped in front of the Temple Mother. Seeing the Sage so flustered, the Temple Mother immediately frowned and rebuked, "Isn't it chaotic enough already? Whatever it is, wait until they subdue that demon snake!"
"It's the remains... It's Yi Zhisha's remains, they were... they were..." The Sage had trouble speaking, her entire face filled with terror.
"Speak!" The Temple Mother said coldly.
"They were dismembered into eight pieces!" The Sage finally blurted out.
The Temple Mother's face instantly changed.
She raised her gaze, a hint of killing intent in her eyes.
The Sage was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.
"Go and see, but don't make a fuss!" The Temple Mother indifferently told a personal maid beside her.
The maid nodded and immediately mounted the deer-beast, following the Sage who had brought the news, and galloped towards the Goddess Hall.
The Goddess Hall was on the highest peak. With a deer-beast, the round trip wouldn't take too long. The Totem Xuan Snake was trapped within the Divine Mountain's restriction and couldn't escape in a short time, but the Temple Mother vaguely felt that this matter might not be so simple.
Not long after, the deer-beast returned with the personal maid, who whispered into the Temple Mother's ear.
But at this very moment, a commotion, originating from who knows where, spread like wildfire across the entire peak platform!
Although a great battle was ongoing here, this was the Parthenon.
They were not afraid!
After all, how could a world-class power be thrown into chaos by just one Totem and one anomaly?
So, they didn't flee; they watched the great battle from here. But who would have thought... that they would hear that Yi Zhisha's remains had been dismembered into eight pieces here???
This news spread extremely quickly, even Grandpa Bao and others became aware of it.
Yi Zhisha was the previous generation's Goddess. Her remains were perfectly preserved in the rear hall of the Goddess Hall, only to be cremated and returned to heaven when a new Goddess took office.
Goddess Peak was already the most heavily guarded place in the entire Parthenon Temple. There was no way for intruders to sneak in. The dismemberment of the previous generation's Goddess's remains into eight pieces was the greatest provocation to the entire Parthenon Temple.
At this moment, the Temple Mother, the Great Sage, and several other Hall Masters' fury instantly surged to its peak!
Today was probably the most humiliating day for the Parthenon Temple. Someone had brazenly trespassed on the Divine Mountain under everyone's eyes, attempting to rescue the sinner who killed the Saintess, and now, even more villainous evildoers had taken advantage of the chaos to desecrate the previous generation's Goddess in such a manner. Their crimes were unforgivable!
"Who is behind this?!" The Temple Mother's fury resonated, and the entire peak platform fell silent.
That was the previous generation's Goddess! Behind this heinous act, there must be a greater conspiracy and a power that completely disregarded the Parthenon Temple!
This was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Parthenon Temple!
Mo Fan's actions today were already audacious and reckless. Who could have imagined something even more vicious and outrageous, so utterly disregarding the might of their Parthenon Temple!
"I've always heard that the Parthenon Temple's greatest miracle is the magnificent Resurrection Spell. So, I'd like to try and see if a person dismembered into eight pieces can still be revived!" Just then, a voice leisurely drifted out, its words directed pointedly at the Temple Mother.
The Temple Mother was slightly startled, somewhat disbelievingly turning her gaze towards a seemingly inconspicuous woman sitting in the guest section!
This woman wore a very elegant, plain white gown, quite appropriate for attending a funeral. She slowly rose from the panicked crowd, her entire being exuding a chilling wickedness that was completely out of place with those around her!
She wore a large sun hat, and a red lace veil covered her entire face and neck, allowing only the general outline of her features to be seen, her true face remaining obscured...
She was like a cold female ghost, emanating a lifeless aura, yet her posture and physique were like those of most beautiful women.
Temple Mother Pamish watched this person who dared to utter such words within the Parthenon Temple, her chest heaving violently!
"Kang Di, what are you doing??"
"Are you insane?!"
Many recognized this woman as Kang Di of the Ocean Alliance, a highly respected female executive within the Coastal Alliance. Who would have thought that Kang Di harbored such deep hatred for the Parthenon Temple, going so far as to send people to dismember Yi Zhisha's remains, and even uttering such shocking words?
