Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: The Day of Darkness! (Third Update) The Emperor (to avoid censorship) awaited Ye Qiu’s answer. Ye Qiu lifted his foot, like a bullet, knocking aside all the leaders surrounding him, heading straight into the church. The Emperor thought Ye Qiu was going to fight him to the death, but Ye Qiu did not attack him. “Ah… Turns out he’s aiming for my statue.” Soon, the Emperor realized Ye Qiu’s intention. Entering the church was clearly to destroy the statue where he resided. A loud shout erupted from Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat, followed by pursuit. The leaders panicked and, under the red-robed leader’s command, also surged into the church. To save Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the Purple Gold Rat, Ye Qiu’s plan was to destroy the Emperor’s statue directly. The last time he came here, he identified the statue as the Emperor’s only residence. If it were destroyed, it would certainly inflict enormous damage on this Western god. A god without a physical body, surviving solely on its soul, has limited Divine Skills no matter how powerful. Seeing Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat under the Emperor’s control chasing after him, Ye Qiu knew his plan was effective, or else their expressions wouldn’t be so grim. Since that was the case, he was even more determined to destroy the statue. In a flash, Ye Qiu reached the depths of the church, stopping before the ancient statue. Ye Qiu struck directly at the statue. The statue vibrated, housing the majority of the Emperor’s soul. Facing Ye Qiu’s attack, the statue emitted white light, nullifying Ye Qiu’s strike. Ye Qiu seemed to have anticipated this. The Emperor was too constrained within the statue. Last time, if it weren’t for the sudden arrival of those leaders, he might have destroyed the statue sooner. This time, Ye Qiu acted swiftly, wanting to see whether the Emperor would kill Jin Shanshun and others first or protect himself. “Flood Dragon Devil Fist!” “Eagle Snake Xuan Hand.” Two Cultivation Techniques were unleashed, transforming into streams of light, entwining around the statue. Get full chapters from novel⦿fire.net The Emperor inside the statue was furious. Ye Qiu dared to destroy his only physical form. If the statue were destroyed without a suitable physical body arriving, his soul would wander aimlessly, and then Ye Qiu could easily kill him. Without a physical form for protection, the Emperor was too vulnerable. Therefore, he could not let Ye Qiu succeed. Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat charged in, Ye Qiu moved his hands rapidly, clashing with the two. However, he dared not use excessive force, or Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat would perish. The two controlled by the Emperor had no such scruples, attacking Ye Qiu with deadly moves one after another. The three battled fiercely, the Emperor sneered, “Let’s see how you destroy my statue. By choosing the second option, I will send these three underlings of yours to the afterlife early.” Saying this, Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat attacked frantically, Ye Qiu frowned repeatedly, too constrained to give his all. While exchanging blows, Ye Qiu occasionally attacked the statue, but the purified white light blocked all his attempts. For a time, the attacks from Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat smashed the entire church into ruins, the surrounding leaders watching solemnly. “If this continues, Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat will exhaust their power and die.” Ye Qiu realized the severity of the situation. The entanglement couldn’t go on. Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, deciding to take a risk. His eyes suddenly shot out two streams of precision, one into Qin Feng’s eyes, the other into the Purple Gold Rat’s eyes. Instantly, the two froze. In their minds, the Emperor found the scene before him had changed. Ye Qiu used the Eye of Illusion, pulling the Emperor into a hallucination. Just then, Ye Qiu saw the statue calm down and directly attacked it with King Yan’s Fury. Seeing Ye Qiu’s King Yan’s Fury aiming to smash the statue like cannon fire, the leaders went mad, rushing in to use their bodies to shield the statue from the attack. One by one, the figures blocking the front all turned to dust, instantly destroyed. These leaders, thanks only to their faith in the Emperor, gained power. Even with purification abilities, they were insignificant, unable to compare to Ye Qiu, a powerhouse honed between life and death. Those who rushed forward were just moths to the flame. King Yan’s Fury, with an unstoppable momentum, broke through the barrier, ultimately hitting the statue. The statue cracked, followed by countless fractures, rapidly spreading over it. The statue let out a furious roar. This roar, filled with the Emperor’s endless anger, echoed in the views of many leaders who hadn’t yet managed to protect the statue. With a boom, the statue suddenly shattered into fragments. A white glow floated into the air. Amid the glow, one could faintly make out a small figure. Its face matched the shattered statue’s face. This was the Emperor’s soul. “My god.” Many leaders, seeing the Emperor’s soul, knelt down, performing devout actions. Witnessing this scene, Ye Qiu struck again, directly using Soul Power waves to sweep over the Emperor’s soul. Instantly, the Emperor’s soul roared in anger. The Soul Power wave was unbearable for him. “It’s time.” Ye Qiu’s gaze abruptly shifted, ignoring the Emperor’s soul. He directly plunged his spiritual power into the minds of Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat, taking advantage of the Emperor’s weakest moment to crush the traces of soul power in the two minds. Ye Qiu’s spiritual power was formidable, truly equal to the Emperor himself, let alone a mere trace of his power. The Emperor in the two minds was clutching his head in agony when Ye Qiu struck. Without any surprise. The two traces of soul power were obliterated, and Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat were finally safe. The reduction of soul power enraged the Emperor’s soul even further, roaring, “Oriental… I will remember you. One day, I will make you suffer endlessly, stepping on you.” After speaking, the white glow shot out of the church. Simultaneously, from Jin Shanshun, a wisp of white energy jumped out, rapidly merging with the sky-bound glow. “Do not think you can escape!” Ye Qiu immediately unleashed another hit with King Yan’s Fury. Seeing this, the surrounding leaders shouted, “Protect our god.” Numerous leaders rushed in, forbidding Ye Qiu from annihilating the Emperor’s soul. Ye Qiu swept them aside, regardless of whether they wore black, white, or red garments, all were knocked down. These individuals were unlikable; without them, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have ended up on the moon. All leaders lay prostrate, and when Ye Qiu turned back to search for the Emperor’s soul, it was already long gone. The Emperor had fled! Ye Qiu stared at the sky, finally leaving with Cain, Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the Purple Gold Rat. On this day, the major event in the Vatican was called “The Day of Darkness” by many believers!
