Chapter 269: Parthenon Soul
Hai La stared at Mo Fan, its eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. This guy suddenly turned and rushed towards Xin Xia's position, and in the direction it ran, a black pool appeared. That was the dark passage through which it had previously appeared in this world, an entrance to the abyss connecting to endless darkness.
Hai La clearly realized that if it continued to fight Devil Mo Fan like this, it would surely die. Therefore, it wanted to snatch this "offering." As long as it escaped into the Dark Hell, once Mo Fan pursued it there, Hai La's strength would increase due to the special environment, and it might not fear him then.
With this plan in mind, its steps quickened, rushing frantically towards the dark passage. Its massive body now appeared somewhat disheveled.
However, seeing its actions, Mo Fan sneered, his smile full of disdain, as if he had long seen through Hai La's thoughts.
"Buzz~~~!!!"
Just then, a silver light flashed, and Mo Fan's figure instantly appeared in front of Xin Xia, enveloped by this silver light as if teleporting. He stood like a barrier, blocking Hai La from Xin Xia.
The moment Hai La, who was speeding, saw Mo Fan appear in front of Xin Xia, it hesitated not at all and immediately chose to flee towards the entrance of the Dark Plane.
It knew very well that if it continued to entangle itself, it would truly perish here. It was a divine beast under the Dark Throne; how could it die in such a place?
It also realized that it was completely out of Mo Fan's league, this mutated human. Even with the enhancement of the Void Dark Execution Ground, it couldn't gain even the slightest advantage against Devil Mo Fan.
Moreover, it was secretly blaming the slaves of the Holy Judgment Court, feeling that they were utterly unreasonable for provoking such a terrifying existence, thus putting it in such a dangerous situation.
Indeed, what was considered one of humanity's strongest forces, the Holy Judgment Court, was nothing more than slaves to Hai La.
It seemed as if Hai La was fighting for them under their Summoning. In reality, they were offering tributes to it.
And every time it was invited out, the food tasted quite good.
Just like that Dark Forbidden Magic last time!
An immature Forbidden Magic Mage, trying to fight it with dark power in the Void Dark Execution Ground?
What a pity.
It was an existence that mingled with the Dark King. Dark Forbidden Magic?
Only nutrients.
Mo Fan didn't pay too much attention to the fleeing Hai La.
To be frank, although Hai La wasn't a half-step Emperor-level existence, its unique life form and reliance on numerous dark corpse worms made its vitality extremely tenacious. It wasn't easy for Mo Fan to completely slay it.
It existed by relying on dark corpse worms, and there was no telling how many of these dark corpse worms there were. To painstakingly slaughter them all would require a lot of time and effort. Rather than doing so, it was more important to put it aside for now and directly face the situation at the Parthenon.
"Boom!!!"
Mo Fan gently held Xin Xia, and the waves of fire around him grew even more turbulent. The flames seemed to sense Mo Fan's emotions at that moment, burning more fiercely, and the scorching high temperature spread in all directions, illuminating everything around it in a fiery red.
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
Immediately following, an incredibly massive pillar of fire shot up into the sky. The fire pillar pierced through the clouds, and even this void dark space, under the scorching of the raging flames, was directly incinerated by the blaze, creating twisted marks, as if space itself was about to be torn apart by this powerful flame energy.
As Hai La had already fled and escaped into the Dark Plane, the Void Dark Execution Ground completely dissipated. The scene of the entire Athens City now appeared exceptionally tragic.
Aside from the area with the safety barrier, protected by numerous Faith Hall Mages, which was a relatively safe zone, and the Parthenon Mountain still retaining its approximate original appearance, all other places were completely reduced to ashes by Devil Mo Fan. Everything was charred, ruins were everywhere, and the once prosperous City now seemed to have become a doomsday ruin, permeated with thick smoke and an aura of death.
Mo Fan, carrying Xin Xia, broke through Hai La's Void Dark Execution Ground and remained in the ruins of Athens City.
Everyone was in disbelief, and some of the judges of the Holy Judgment Court were also stunned!
An existence that even Death God Hai La couldn't take down—who could possibly deal with such a person?
Though fearful of Mo Fan's terror, the personnel of the Knight Hall and Adjudication Hall still surrounded them.
"Xin Xia, do you feel it?" Mo Fan asked, looking at Xin Xia.
During this trip to the Void Dark Execution Ground, the power of the soul should have resonated with her.
Xin Xia nodded, slowly closing her eyes.
Light, like glistening luminous powder, drifted out from Xin Xia's body. Unbeknownst to her, Xin Xia was completely enveloped by a layer of mysterious radiance, and a silhouette of a divine soul, blurred by this special, mysterious glow, was imprinted behind Xin Xia.
Her hair strands lifted, perfectly revealing Xin Xia's face. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze had undergone a massive change!
It was clearly Xin Xia, but her expression was so solemn that she seemed like a completely different person, especially those eyes, which did not belong to Xin Xia herself!
Many people had witnessed this scene before, and now, everyone looked at the Parthenon Soul appearing before the world, and they all paused!
But because Xin Xia had not performed the resurrection divine art, many people were puzzled.
It was at this moment that Heilong, who had been defeated by Mo Fan earlier, stepped forward.
"This is the Soul of Parthenon!" Heilong suddenly declared loudly.
Upon hearing this, the knights who had previously been eyeing Mo Fan and Xin Xia with hostility, upon hearing what Heilong said, immediately knelt down in unison, burying their heads completely.
The adjudicator mages and the vast Faith Mages behind them also half-knelt in salute. The believers far away in the Faith Hall were also extremely shocked, and as some elders who had witnessed the divine light of resurrection devoutly bowed, countless believers prostrated themselves in worship!
The pain left by death is often endured by the living, and the only thing in this world that can eliminate this pain is the Parthenon's resurrection divine art!
Since Heilong, the Hall Master of the Knight Hall, had spoken, naturally no one questioned it.
Moreover, regarding the Parthenon Soul, some experienced Parthenon powerhouses were well aware of it.
Rain began to drizzle, and the flying petals that had reached high altitudes before falling were everywhere, mixed with the rain, with few intact wet petals visible.
On the Star-Gazing Platform, Yi Zhisha looked down with icy eyes, her entire being like a soulless ghost, devoid of any vitality.
All the believers were not facing her direction but were looking at that girl, bowing to her. This scene further signified that her entire plan had failed; she had not eliminated all the Holy Maidens, nor had she even obtained the Parthenon Soul.
The Parthenon Soul recognized that girl. For ten years, the Parthenon Soul would not be able to accept any new master, and Yi Zhisha did not have many ten-year periods left.
