Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 385 Holy Spirit's Judgment

Chapter update reminder: Chapter 387 Holy Spirit Judgment (4), reading address.

The Hall of Witness is located inside a tall tower to the north of the court. The hall's doors are two meters high, and when the doors are opened, a faint light shines through. Qin Xiaochuan can clearly sense that there seems to be spiritual energy flowing inside, indicating that a mysterious magic array must be in place.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi exchanged a glance, then Qin Xiaochuan took Guo Shiyi's hand and slowly walked into the Hall of Witnessing the Heart. A faint light enveloped them, and the doors of the Hall of Witnessing the Heart slowly closed behind them, dimming the light inside. At the same time, the Witnessing Stone at the top of the tower lit up with a faint red light. If the people in the Hall of Witnessing the Heart withstood the test of the Holy Spirit's judgment, the Witnessing Stone would turn into a dazzling white light; otherwise, the light of the Witnessing Stone would turn gray.

The horns sounded again, this time twice, signifying that Dragonbone Ridge had fallen and the demon beast army would soon attack Crescent City. Everyone looked tense and turned to the Golden Priest. As the current de facto leader of Crescent City and in charge of the Blood Knights, the responsibility of resisting the demon beast army undoubtedly fell to the Golden Priest.

The Golden Priest, however, seemed not to hear the horn, his gaze still coldly fixed on the Heart-Testing Stone atop the tower: "As you can see, the Uncrowned One has not passed the test of Goddess Nuwa. A person who has no faith in Goddess Nuwa is not qualified to be the Blood Witch King. Therefore, I have decided to abolish Qin Xiaochuan's status as the Uncrowned One. I wonder what everyone's opinion is?"

The wood priest's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but say, "This seems inappropriate. The status of the Uncrowned One was determined by the Goddess Nuwa in ancient times and has not changed for thousands of years. How can it be easily abolished?"

The Gold Priest turned to look at the Wood Priest and said, "If Goddess Nuwa designated him, she should have let him pass the test. However, the result was the opposite. I think this is exactly what Goddess Nuwa wanted. Now that the monsters are about to attack the city, we should unite as one and fight against them together to resist the monster army."

He then turned his gaze to the water priest and the earth priest, asking, "Water priest and earth priest, what are your thoughts?"

The Water Priest immediately said, "With the enemy pressing in, we should naturally follow the Gold Priest's arrangements. I support the Gold Priest."

Although the earth priest was a step behind, he immediately expressed his support for the gold priest.

"Wood Priest, I believe you have no objections now, right?" the Gold Priest asked the Wood Priest coldly at the end.

At this moment, the wood priest also felt that the situation was hopeless, and could only say, "Since everyone agrees, there is no point in me objecting, but I will still reserve my opinion."

The Golden Priest gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to arrange preparations for defending the city.

The demon army arrived at Crescent City by evening, but instead of attacking, they first set up their formation outside the city, surrounding it on three sides.

The city wall, weathered by time, is mottled with patches of brownish-green moss covering its outer surface, revealing large, bluish-brown boulders in the center. The wind howls through the wall, and red flags flutter in the wind.

The Golden Priest stood on the city wall, gazing at the endless army of demonic beasts, and his breathing became tense.

"This is a full-scale attack," the water priest behind him couldn't help but say. No wonder he said that; Crescent Moon City hadn't seen such a scene in a long time. The last time the demon race attacked Crescent Moon City was more than three hundred years ago. At that time, the climate suddenly turned cold, and food became scarce in the Netherworld Mountains. Several demon kings had to launch an attack on Crescent Moon City. Regardless of victory or defeat, war could always solve the survival crisis within the race. But at that time, the number of demon beasts mobilized was less than one-fifth of this time, and not even a single demon king was mobilized.

"No wonder Dragon Bone Ridge fell in less than half a day. What's wrong with the demon race? Have they gone mad?" The fire priest, known for his fiery temper, was now flushed red, his red hair seemingly burning with flames. Clearly, he was extremely agitated in the face of such a scene.

Dark clouds loomed over the demon army, threatening to engulf Crescent City. Everyone on the city wall was tense, no one knowing what kind of fierce battle would unfold next.

"So what if there are more demons? Don't forget, for thousands of years, the demon race has never been able to break through our defenses. Goddess Nuwa will protect us," the Golden Priest said calmly.

A long howl suddenly came from the army of demonic beasts outside the city. The howl was so loud that even from such a distance, it deeply touched everyone's heartstrings, as if someone was beating a war drum in their ear, the sound full of excitement.

As the howl subsided, countless roars erupted from among the demonic beasts, and then the vanguard of the demonic beasts launched their charge like a torrent.

The vanguard was like an arrow shot out, creating two tornadoes on either side as it moved, and the earth seemed to tremble. The main force at the front was still the armored rhinoceros, a monster with thick skin and explosive destructive power, which was naturally suited for charging.

The impact of a single armored rhinoceros is enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. The sheer force of thousands of armored rhinoceroses charging at the same time is enough to terrify anyone. No one dares to stand in their way. A bluish light covers their thick armor, and a white light shines from their horns, forming a flowing galaxy. However, the white light is held back, only exploding when it touches an obstacle. This makes one wonder if the city wall can truly withstand their charge.

Red rune arrays lit up in real time, successfully slowing down the armored rhinoceros's charge speed. Then, a lightning field appeared in the armored rhinoceros's inevitable path, with silver lightning flashing continuously within it, bombarding the armored rhinoceros's body again and again. The armored rhinoceros's defense was too strong; ordinary physical damage was hardly effective against them. Only lightning damage could penetrate the gaps in their thick armor and strike their vital internal organs.

As the armored rhinoceros charged, the demonic beasts on both flanks also launched an attack on Crescent City. Skills rained down from the sky, flames mixed with wind blades, and the dark red firelight almost illuminated the entire Crescent City, leaving a row of shadows of Blood Witch Clan warriors on the city walls. These Blood Witch Clan warriors were not idle; they also released skills at the same time to bombard the demonic beast army.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..." Explosions rose and fell, and the barrier above Crescent City rippled like water, turning the demon army into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​fire.

"Roar..." A dragon's roar suddenly rang out above Crescent City. Immediately afterwards, a black dragon emerged from the clouds. After circling in the air for a while, it opened its mouth, and a huge column of water poured down from the sky, its magnificent momentum like the Milky Way pouring down from above.

A figure rose from the city wall; it was the earth priest. He flapped his wings and flew to the edge of the barrier. He pressed his hands forward into the air, and a thin rock wall appeared on the surface of the barrier's light screen. Although the rock wall was very thin, no matter how the water column impacted it, the rock wall showed no signs of collapsing.

As the water column dissipated and turned into raindrops falling from the sky, the water priest waved his hand, and the raindrops transformed into a giant water dragon that charged towards the right wing of the demon army. Led by a nine-tailed fox demon, the right wing of the demon army was attacking the right side of the city wall. Flame stones, like cannonballs, landed precisely on the city wall, and the deafening explosions continued. Under the powerful offensive, the blood witch soldiers on the city wall could only huddle in a corner of the wall, barely using their defensive skills to resist the enemy's attacks.

On the left flank of the demon beast army, a ten-meter-long black serpent was leading a group of demon beasts in an attempt to climb the city wall. The serpent had wings on its back and floated in the air. Its long tail swayed constantly like a fish tail, spraying black venom toward Crescent City. The venom was foul-smelling and immediately emitted white vapors when it landed on the city wall, clearly indicating that it was extremely corrosive.

The wood priest had already arrived at the city wall and was prepared. He brandished his staff, and a giant banyan tree grew from the wall. The banyan tree shimmered with azure light, and streaks of azure rays emerged from it, not only purifying the venom of the Teng Snake but also sweeping towards the Teng Snake in the air, attempting to drain its life force. However, the Teng Snake was clearly not so easy to deal with. It let out a sharp shriek, and instantly countless black snake shadows shot out from its cry, rushing towards the vibrant banyan tree.

The fierce battle on the city walls has fully begun.
