Chapter 2421: Apostle

Everything before them proved that the legends were all real. The Region of Light was indeed where the Bright Temple was.

Ye Futian looked forward. The divine temple was incredibly grandiose and magnificent. It looked like an enormous castle, extending into the skies to s.h.i.+ne down an endless array of light from high up in the air.

Other than being ancient, the temple was a little dilapidated, with several areas damaged. These seemed to be damage from the great war of the ancient era. Below the divine palace, there was a door that looked like another Portal of Light. Two statues of light, each holding a scepter, stood on either side of the door. They seemed to be the guardians of light.

The light continued morphing gradually. Yu Hou opened his eyes too as he could finally see the scene before him clearly. It sent waves of shock through his heart. He said softly, “I didn’t think that the legend was real. This is indeed a divine relic.”

One by one, the others opened their eyes. Although they were a little unaccustomed to the light, they were all gradually able to start seeing the scene before them. Perhaps it was because of the changes in the physical s.p.a.ce of this Small World. When they raised their head to look at the skies above the divine palace, they could see a diagram of light that looked like a divine matrix. The power of light was s.h.i.+ning down from there, guarding the divine palace.

The cultivators started walking forward one after another. The cultivators’ eyes from each of the forces started getting heated as their gazes slowly filled with greed and desire. For generations, they had been on guard at the Region of LIght. Now, they finally saw the divine relic.

They didn’t think Blind Chen’s prophecy would come true just by walking through the Murderous Light Matrix. No one thought that it would be that easy to break through the murderous matrix. Perhaps it was because they knew nothing about light, yet Ye Futian could see right through it.

Bling Chen walked forward, supporting himself with the cane in his hand. He came before the remains of the Bright Temple and knelt on the ground once again. He kowtowed to the temple with great piety, as if he was the most pious believer of the Bright Temple, which made everyone even more suspicious of his true ident.i.ty. Perhaps Blind Chen was related to the Bright Temple.

Then, Blind Chen stood up and said, “Chen Yi, go in.”

“Yes.” Chen Yi stepped forward and walked towards the divine palace.

“Futian, sorry to trouble you,” Blind Chen then said to Ye Futian. Ye Futian nodded and followed behind Chen Yi, preparing to escort him into the Temple of Light to inherit the powers of light.

Perhaps all of the secrets laid inside the Temple of Light.

Hum! Just then, several extremely powerful auras erupted inside the s.p.a.ce, the cultivators from all four of the great forces intervened, and the four elders were the first to attack.

Patriarch Lin was the fastest amongst them. With just a thought, he sp.a.w.ned a Sword Will so great that it deluged the skies, traveling across the s.p.a.ce and attacking Chen Yi and Ye Futian.

But at the same time, Blind Chen turned. His back was facing where Chen Yi said he was. Blazing will of bright erupted from his body, blinding everyone who looked at it directly. The light inundated the s.p.a.ce and blocked off Chen Yi from him. Formless pulses erupted from the voids as the will of light collided with the will of sword from Patriarch Lin.

At this moment, Blind Chen finally unleashed his spectacular power. He turned out to be a cultivator who had overcome the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path as well. His power level was definitely comparable to the four great elders.

“Stop him,” Patriarch Lin said with an ice-cold voice. Instantly, cultivators from all of the four great forces attacked. They had already paid a heavy price to get here and had suffered great losses, including the death of many of their clan members. Now that they had finally reached the divine palace, how could they let Chen Yi enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices alone?

If they allowed him to do so, it would really be putting in all this effort for someone else.

Blind Chen’s cane suddenly knocked a few times on the ground of the Bright Temple debris. Instantly, stone fragments and dust started flying, and at the same time, blazing light filled up the void. Everywhere the light went, terrified shrieks could be heard. The cultivators who dashed forward were pierced straight through by the light before being turned into ash and disappearing into the air.

“Sword of Light.” The expressions on the four strongest cultivators changed. In just an instant, many of their cultivators died. They had all been killed by Blind Chen. Many of them had been Renhuang level cultivators. This made the rest of them hesitate and not dare to move forward.

Blind Chen stood there as if he was a one-man army. Ye Futian and Chen Yi had already walked through the door and entered the Bright Temple.

Boom… The four great elders stepped forward at the same time. A terrifying dominion of the Starry Great Path appeared around them. Celestial stars surrounded them and blocked out the skies, and the sun and intercepted the Sword Will of Light from Blind Chen.

A Divine Sun Diagram appeared behind the Great Elder of the Yu Clan and launched toward Blind Chen, clas.h.i.+ng into his Sword of Light. It took a coordinated attack from the four strongest cultivators at the same time to stop the might of Blind Chen’s Path.

“Get in!” Patriarch Lin’s raised voice echoed through the air, immediately prompting the rest of the cultivators to dash forward, going around the battlefield to enter the Bright Temple.

The path might of the four great cultivators attacked simultaneously, attempting to overwhelm Blind Chen as the elders moved in an attempt to bypa.s.s him and enter the divine palace. At this point, they were far more concerned about the relic of the Bright Temple than if Blind Chen was dead or alive.

While Blind Chen couldn’t see, the four cultivators’ every move appeared in his perception. An even more magnificent light erupted from him. Instantly, a dominion of light appeared and engulfed the skies. Inside this dominion, the four elders squinted as if they could no longer see. Here, there was only light; it was actually similar to what they had experienced inside the Divine Matrix of Light.

Could it be that this was a type of the Powers of the Laws of Light?

But inside this light, they saw a pair of eyes that made their hearts pound. Those eyes contained endless lights; it was Blind Chen’s eyes.

Blind Chen opened his eyes!

He opened his eyes with light!

Tsss… When the four great elders witnessed those eyes, they felt a stinging pain inside their irises, and their eyes started to bleed uncontrollably. The power of light had infiltrated their spiritual soul, attempting to purify everything and obliterate them in the process.

Hum! A furious roar surged through the void as a formless sword pierced through s.p.a.ce, stabbing toward their eyes within a fraction of a second.

Yet the next moment, the eyes disappeared and reappeared in another location. It was as though these eyes weren’t actual eyes but the eyes of light.

Blind Chen’s tattered clothes fluttered in the air as he stood atop the rubbles with an unyielding expression. The cane in his hand had morphed into a scepter of light similar to the scepter in the hands of the guardians who stood before the Bright Temple.

Blind Chen was indeed related to the Bright Temple. He was the apostle of the Bright Temple who shouldered a mission pa.s.sed down for generations. His mission was to find the heir of light.

And Chen Yi was the one he was looking for. For him, Blind Chen could sacrifice everything.

The only reason he stayed behind to block the way and let Ye Futian bring Chen Yi into the Bright Temple was that he had absolute trust in Ye Futian. Or perhaps it’s better to say that he had absolute trust in the person who came to look for him back then!
