Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

When Mo Fan emerged from the Holy Maiden's Palace, her long dress trailed on the ground.

On the steps, the Golden Knights stood solemnly, their imposing presence awe-inspiring. The magical aura emanating from them coalesced into a powerful pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

Looking down, two entire squads of judges stood ready. The deputy temple master, Xiao Shen, who was in charge, almost spitting fire in his eyes, wishing he could personally execute her to comfort Pan Nijia's spirit in heaven.

Two hundred judges formed a death formation; with a single command, all elemental magic would transform into a destructive force, annihilating them completely.

Further away, Panicja's funeral was underway. Many members of the Parthenon were gathered, including a holy judge clad in authoritative armor. Their power was far beyond the reach of ordinary people!
With such heavy guard, escape is simply a pipe dream.

"Mo Fan, put her down! If you dare to take another step outside with her, the Golden Knight and the Judgment Mage will execute you on the spot!" Kulun shouted sternly.

The moment the door opened, everyone saw Mo Fan carrying Xin Xia as he walked out.

Lin Lan stood outside the door; the young man's aura was like that of a thousand troops.
These two are truly audacious; they could easily wipe out a mere super-level mage and a high-level mage.

What I can't understand is why these two promising individuals would choose to do something so impossible to move.

“Ignorance is bliss,” Yafa said with a mocking smile. “There are always some madmen in this world who will do things that are incomprehensible to others.”

“Lin Lan, it’s not too late for you to stop now. Once you take her out of the Temple of the Holy Maiden, the Parthenon and the Court of Judgment will consider you an accomplice. Lin Lan, although you are the benefactor of the ancient capital’s catastrophe, Salang’s sins are heinous, and as an accomplice, you are equally unforgivable!” the sage Suti warned.

"What's unforgivable? I almost killed Salang back then. Do you think I don't know whether Salang is Ye Xinxia or not?" You claim to be the most authoritative and impartial people in the world, yet based solely on your so-called ironclad evidence, without even having seen the real Salang's mask, you eagerly pinned all the blame on a girl who knows nothing, fabricating such ridiculous claims... You keep saying that another soul, another personality, resides within her—that is Salang. Ye Xinxia does indeed have another soul, but then I ask you, who has personally witnessed this soul, this personality, engaging in scheming and committing evil deeds? And not a benevolent soul? You ignore the most basic principles, yet present potentially untenable evidence as ironclad proof. This is your Parthenon Temple, this is the Holy Tribunal with its unquestionable authority! I know better than you how corrupt and filthy your inner workings truly are." Lin Lan's words were unvarnished and clearly resonated throughout the entire platform. The atmosphere instantly froze, and waves of killing intent surged from the powerful mages who dared not be challenged!
"The Black Church regards its rules as a sacred mission, considers harming others as a glorious achievement, and never doubts the sins they have committed. In their eyes, what the bishop orders them to do must be the noblest and greatest. Take a good look at yourselves; the Black Church and you all share a deeply ingrained belief. I used to think that the difference between you and them was that even when faced with absurd decisions and orders, Parthenon was Parthenon because you still maintained a sense of justice and the ability to distinguish between good and evil. But now it seems that you are no different! Based on those fragmented pieces of evidence, you are convinced that she is Salon, and you are eager to convict and execute her. Isn't that ridiculous!" Mo Fan's anger transformed into sharp, sword-like words that pierced the crowd.

……

"If we are wrong, we will apologize to the dead. But if she is truly Salang, then she has saved countless lives. Ye Xinxia, ​​if you have any compassion left, you should make a sacrifice. Why let the demon sleeping within you continue to wreak havoc on the world? Why let Mo Fan, with his promising future, be buried with you? This is the Parthenon, its authority is not to be challenged, and it has the highest power of execution; it can kill you on the spot!" Grand Judge Durank declared loudly.

It means he was determined to kill Ye Xinxia.

Lin Lan and Mo Fan remained unfazed and stepped directly out of the Saintess Temple. The consequence of this step was that they were met with Yafa's super-tier wind magic, Wind Slaughter...

Lin Lan knew, of course, that his own abilities were far too insignificant in the face of the Parthenon, but this time he had brought reinforcements: totem creatures.

The moment Lin Lan invoked the totem bead, a thick fog instantly filled the air, obscuring all vision. Within the mist, a massive, dark blue silhouette appeared and disappeared. As the fog spread, the body continued to expand wildly…

Afa froze, his gaze fixed on the ever-expanding fog. Suddenly, he met a pair of terrifying, enormous snake eyes that opened from the mist!

Just one glance was enough for Yafa to feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar from head to toe, with a chill that went straight to his bone marrow!
"What...what is this?!" he cried out in shock.

Before the cry had even faded, a colossal head, as large as a house, suddenly emerged from the thick fog. Without any fancy moves, it simply opened its gaping maw and swallowed the arrogant and domineering Golden Knight Commander, Yafa, whole!
The head was so enormous that even Shawshen, the deputy temple master of the Judgment Hall standing at the bottom of the steps, was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly. The two hundred Judgment Mages behind him were even more dumbfounded—why would such a terrifying creature appear in the Parthenon?! Was it a Titan??
The entire summit erupted in commotion! The cloud of mist continued to expand, almost touching the low-hanging clouds. Just then...

"Crack!"

A pale bolt of lightning tore through the somber sky, and a torrential downpour, accompanied by a deafening roar, swept down, creating a cacophony of noise.

The wind whipped up the rain, and the air was filled with the damp, honey-brown and turquoise fluff, creating a beautiful yet unsettling and eerie scene.

Above the torrential rain, people finally saw the full form of the dark blue-green creature in the mist. It was a colossal serpent! The mist obscured part of its winding, mountain-like body, but its head, suspended above the rain, indifferently looked down at everyone on the platform, like a god scrutinizing ants.

"Oh my god!!"

"A snake! A giant snake!!"

"Lord! This is a monarch-level creature! How could it appear in the Parthenon?!"

Exclamations of surprise arose from all sides. Although there were many high-level experts on the summit, very few people had actually seen a being like the Totem Serpent.

monarch?

The totem serpent was no ordinary ruler! When its form appeared and its gaze swept over the peak platform where thousands of people had gathered, its innate arrogance and domineering power were like an invisible mountain, almost crushing the minds of all the powerful people present!

The Totem Serpent slowly opened its mouth and spat out the Golden Knight Afa, which it had just swallowed.

In just a short while, the once splendid and majestic knight commander was now ragged and covered in disgusting gastric juices. He was casually thrown out like a dead dog, and landed right at the feet of the great judge, Durank!

Durank looked at the trembling, disheveled Yafa at his feet, and his face twitched violently.

"Goddess Peak is so heavily guarded, let alone a monarch-level creature, even a commander-level creature couldn't possibly sneak in! Lin Lan's summoned beast and contracted beast are not this giant snake, so how could it appear here!" The Temple Mother immediately questioned sharply.

"It's a totem bead! I just saw something in Lin Lan's pocket sparkle!" Merora's face was extremely grim. "When totem creatures encounter a crisis in their inheritance, they can hide inside totem beads."

"It's just a larger beast, yet it dares to act so arrogantly in the Parthenon! Shawshen, have your men kill this snake!!" Durank was furious. At this moment, he no longer cared about the origin of the giant snake. Anyone who dared to challenge the authority of the Holy Tribunal had to die!

……

The totem serpent slowly lowered its head to the ground. Mo Fan, holding Xin Xia, lightly leaped onto its platform-like head, while Lin Lan stood in the very center.

There was a special scale groove at the snake's head, enough to withstand the effects of most magic. Mo Fan gently placed Xin Xia inside, but did not hide himself. "The big guy will protect us, don't worry. Lan Zi and I will handle everything." Looking at Xin Xia's pale face, Mo Fan stroked her head and forced a reassuring smile.

The head of the totem serpent slowly rose, and Lin Lan stood atop it. A torrential downpour raged, and withered flowers danced wildly in the wind. He surveyed the crowd on the entire platform below, his gaze resolute.

"Lin Lan!!"

Lord Hylon of the Knights' Temple stood below, pointing angrily at Lin Lan, who stood atop the serpent's head, and roared like thunder, "You are utterly audacious! Are you trying to make an enemy of the entire Parthenon?!"

Everyone could see that Lin Lan's strength far surpassed Mo Fan's, and this totem creature was also summoned by Lin Lan. Lin Lan's actions were also a confrontation with the entire Parthenon Temple.

They knew that Lin Lan had powerful figures in China behind her, but they could not easily withstand the wrath of the Parthenon.

On Goddess Peak, a colossal serpent stands tall. Even those at the foot of the mountain can clearly see this astonishing sight!
"I'm putting this out there, I'm protecting these two today." Lin Lan's eyes were resolute, and because of the sound element, his voice carried throughout the entire Parthenon.

Today, Lin Lan is taking Mo Fan and Ye Xinxia away. (End of Chapter)
