Chapter 2134: Chapter 1192: Deeper Into the Predicament

Under the shadows of pitch black and dark red, Lorenz’s wrinkled hand just touched an ancient relief engraved with radiant brilliance, and a sacred light surged from it.

For a moment, the ancient relief seemed to merge with the emitted brilliance, giving a sense of timelessness yet powerful strangeness.

Although that trace of sacred light was soon swallowed by the surrounding darkness and dark red, our side’s strong ones all felt enveloped by a warmth, and the energy within their bodies began to recover more actively.

“This is the true power of the Temple of Light, but now…”

Some of the priest-type powerhouses in the team, who once left the Temple of Light, couldn’t help but lower their eyebrows and clench their fists as they felt the warmth brushing their cheeks.

Since Radiant City had been closed for a century, they had not been to this legendary holy land before, but had admired its splendor in many classics and epics.

Who would have thought that when they first set foot on this holy land in their hearts, what they saw was this doomsday scene filled with blood and bizarre traces, everywhere in ruin.

Just as these priest-type powerhouses were filled with sorrow, the solemn old Lorenz exerted force with his aged hand and directly pushed the ancient relief inward.

The heavy sound of friction followed, and soon, the recessed relief formed a small arched door, seemingly leading straight into the main temple.

“Old mate, what is this?”

Seeing this, Yonir asked in amazement.

With the appearance of the arch, this top powerhouse of the Human World immediately noticed.

The few Magic Barriers and prohibitions on the main gate hadn’t dissipated, yet it was like a backdoor had opened before their eyes, bypassing the gate’s barrier completely.

“This is the emergency passage only known to the core members of the synod. By the time it reached my generation, only I remain, including the real Gannon the Ninth, of course.”

Lorenz withdrew his hand, his old face full of bitterness as he said, “It seems that mysterious entity, though replacing His Majesty, has not mastered all the secrets of the Temple of Light.”

Upon hearing this from the old bishop, Leo Ray and the others felt both sighing and invigorated.

This undoubtedly means that the mysterious entity hasn’t reached the level of using all the power of the Temple of Light to the fullest, which is clearly one of the few good news for us.

The most crucial thing is, with the help of the old bishop, we effortlessly opened a passage to enter the opponent’s lair!

“Your Highness, please follow this way with my old self. This small door can also lead to the main hall of the main temple.”

Old Lorenz nodded at Leo Ray, then several sacred light spheres rose around him as he walked directly into the arch.

Under the guidance of old Lorenz, our side followed through a passage filled with dust and antiquity, and after turning two bends, Lorenz pushed open another relief.

“Your Highness, here is the main hall of the main temple…”

As the wall slowly moved to the side, Lorenz’s words abruptly stopped.

His aged body stiffened, and an incredulous voice quickly resounded again: “How can this be? How has the main hall become like this?!”

Upon hearing the old bishop’s surprised voice, Leo Ray immediately frowned.

Due to the slow movement of the wall and Lorenz blocking the way, Leo Ray couldn’t yet see the spectacle inside the hall from his position.

However, an extremely strong stench had already crazily rushed into Leo Ray’s nostrils.

Compared to the outside, the stench from ahead was not only more intense but also extremely viscous, almost to the point of being suffocating.

With Leo Ray’s current Energy Barrier-like shield strength, it was still within bearable range, whereas many of the caught off guard team members behind began to retch again.

After Elder Bing’s Power of Divine Grace’s new round of blessings and the desperate Purification Spells from the priest-type powerhouses, the situation finally improved.

When the wall in front was fully opened, allowing the whole group’s view to broaden, Leo Ray further noticed.

The sight before them was indeed unexpected.

The extremely spacious hall was dark to the extreme, emitting an eerie dark red glow, even shining magic spheres couldn’t cover it.

Within the hall, dark red roots crisscrossed like webs, covering every corner of the vast space, truly shocking to the senses.

Vaguely, Leo Ray could still see the originally existing staircases, fountains, statues, and reliefs in the hall, but under the pressure of countless dark red roots, most were shattered and twisted, all in a state of chaos.

Among the surprised strong ones, especially the priest-type powerhouses who had seen the main hall in paintings numerous times, their eyes were wide with disbelief.

Clearly, this was vastly different from the supreme temple depicted in the paintings, brimful of sacred brilliance and intertwined warmth.

“Your Excellency, the detestable aura is extremely strong, it seems deep inside here is indeed the source of these roots.”

Elder Bing’s blue eyebrows slightly furrowed as he nodded at Leo Ray.

“Understood.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then walked to the old bishop’s side and said, “Sir, we should proceed.”
