Chapter 968: Crumbling of the Temple!

Translator: Kun Editor: TheAlliance

Yue Zhong told Annie, "Take a step back!"

Annie retreated silently.

Yue Zhong sighed a while, thinking deeply, before inserting the key warily.

As the crystal key went into the hole, there was a bright, resplendent gold radiance that shone out of the altar, as the Gold Grade Battle Armor began to exude a terrifying aura, before shooting and latching onto Yue Zhong.

Amidst the radiance, Yue Zhong's body was covered with that Gold Grade Battle Armor, at the same time, a powerful aura began to emit from him. His eyes closed and he did not move.

A powerful will imprint then went into his mind, forming into the True God-expert with golden eyes.

After the True God-expert formed, Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness trembled. He could only quickly summon his avatar within his consciousness.

The True God-expert gazed at Yue Zhong with a look of disdain, as though he was viewing an ant, and barked out, "Pathetic lifeform, I'm the great True God Wade! Stop resisting and surrender your body to me! I will grant you eternal life and endless glory!"

Inside his consciousness, Yue Zhong looked at the True God Wade's avatar, and his eyes were filled with battle intent, "Another lingering will? I've already destroyed you once before, this time, it's not going to be any different!"

"Lingering will? No, within this Gold Battle Armor, it is not just a lingering will, it is an undying strand of my soul! You think that you could obtain the Temple key so easily, enter my Temple, and obtain my treasure, just because of your luck? No, it was all within my calculations. Throughout the ages, among those who had obtained the key and entered this Temple, only your body can handle my soul imprint, and allow me to revive!"

"This avatar of mine is an undying soul strand, and even a True God-expert would find it hard to remove. Just based on you, a mere Type 8 powerhouse, and you want to defeat me? Just hand your body over and be a good slave. Once I stand at the peak once more, I will help you reform another body, and give you eternal life and endless glory. I'm invincible and undefeatable!" Wade glared at Yue Zhong coolly, as though he was an ant, trying to beat down Yue Zhong's sense of self-confidence.

Inside this consciousness, where strength depended on the will and confidence of the expert, if Yue Zhong was to lose hope, Wade would gain an advantage. He might look arrogant and unbridled, but it was all part of his ploy.

"What a joke, if you were really invincible, how come there's only a strand of soul left? Just scram back to your grave!!"

Yue Zhong's mental fortitude was too strong, and he shot forward and fired out a Cosmic Finger, pressing down on Wade.

Wade laughed coldly when he saw that, directly obliterating it, "The Cosmic Finger is my secret technique, you've barely gotten a grasp on it. Break for me!"

After destroying the image of the universe, Wade's palm slapped out, causing an encompassing figure that blotted out the sky to slap down viciously, destroying Yue Zhong's avatar, as pain coursed throughout his body.

In just a second, Yue Zhong's avatar had reformed, and he looked at Wade with a hint of trepidation, "Strong. This soul strand is definitely more than 10 times stronger than the previous lingering will."

After reforming, Yue Zhong continued to launch attacks upon Wade. He had to destroy this soul strand, otherwise, death was all that awaited him.

At the same time, in the temple, the moment Yue Zhong donned on the Gold Battle Armor, there was a surge of strength that emitted out.

"The aura of a Type 9 powerhouse!!"

"That's a Type 9 strength!!"

"..."

The other experts who were searching for treasures turned around, noticing Yue Zhong who had the armor, and their eyes were full of shock and envy.

Qian Chang Qing stared at Yue Zhong, his eyes filled with undisguised jealousy, "How did he do it?"

Hai Yin also stomped his foot, his eyes filled with envy, "Damn it!!! Why isn't it me!!! Why didn't the armor choose me?!"

Hong! Hong! Hong!

When the Gold Battle Armor landed on Yue Zhong's body, the entire Temple began to tremble, as it started to fall apart.

At the areas where the Temple started to disintegrate, spatial tears appear in those places, looking extremely threatening.

One particular Holy Son stood at the edge of the Temple, and when the Temple started falling apart, he was caught in the sudden spatial tear. He only had time to scream out, "Save me!! Save me!!"

Qian Chang Qing swept a glance at the still Yue Zhong, before shouting out, "Run!!"

At that instant, he threw down everything and took the opportunity of the momentarily calm to flee outside.

The rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters also fought to follow after.

Yue Zhong was still immobile, standing near the altar.

Within the human faction, only Annie rushed up to Yue Zhong, grabbing him while he was still exuding a Type 9 aura.

Annie's right hand had just touched the gold radiance, when many golden lights suddenly shot out and sliced her hands, causing blood to flow.

She bore the pain, as she roared out, "Yue Zhong!!! Run!!! The place is going to collapse!!"

However, no matter how she screamed and shouted, Yue Zhong was immobile, as though he was already dead.

"Damn it, Heaven Silk Domain!!"

She had a resolute look as she waved her hands, as countless silk shot out and formed a domain, wrapping around them. With a wave of her hands, the Heaven Silk Domain shrunk and formed 10 main beams, wrapping around Yue Zhong.

As the silk touched the Gold Battle Armor, they were pierced by the golden beams, constantly being worn down. However, with the support of the domain, the silk continued to repair while securing Yue Zhong's figure.

The moment she secured Yue Zhong with the Heaven Silk Domain, she tapped her foot and shot outside.

However, right at that moment, the path ahead collapsed, as a huge spatial tear appeared, swallowing both Annie and Yue Zhong.

As they were being swallowed up by the spatial tear, Annie's face turned pale, and her heart was filled with despair, "Oh no!!"

Even a Type 9 powerhouse with spatial laws would not dare to spend too long in a spatial tear.

Without any protection, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would be torn apart in an instant, wiped out from this world. Only a person with good enough fortune would be able to pass through the spatial tear and reappear somewhere else.

As Annie was despairing, Yue Zhong, who had been immobile and his eyes shut suddenly opened his eyes, his hand reaching out to pull Annie into the area of defense provided by the Gold Battle Armor, and the both of them fell deeper into the abyss, disappearing within the chaotic space.

Falling into space, Yue Zhong was still engaged in battle with the soul strand of Wade within his consciousness. Both parties continued to slaughter each other, or rather, Yue Zhong was being obliterated over and over again.

Wade's soul strand was incredibly powerful, even after fighting within Yue Zhong's consciousness for so many days, his energy had only been depleted by a mere fraction, and yet, Yue Zhong's avatar had already crumbled tens of thousands of times.

In the process, Yue Zhong's will became weaker, but at the same time, it was being ground and tempered.

Wade stared at the reformed avatar of Yue Zhong, each time his face pale, as he frowned and barked, "Give up, human. You can never best me!! Before I finish expending my energy, your will would have collapsed. No one would be able to help you resurrect then!"

Yue Zhong then retorted, "No!! I might not be able to defeat you now, but it doesn't mean I don't have a way to deal with you! Seal!!"

Immediately, the Radiant Battleship hidden within the void glowed, and the Type 9 Mutant Beast nuclei within began to ignite, allowing the numerous cannons to light up and blast out a hole in the chaotic space, before shooting Yue Zhong and sending his spiraling body out of the space.

At the same time, a powerful sealing power was shot out of the Radiant Battleship, entering Yue Zhong's consciousness, forming a cage that sealed Wade's soul strand within.
