Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 338 Compassionate Salvation
The seven members of the Celestial Team are not on good terms, but they still cooperate when doing things.

While Song Tian was acting chivalrously and recruiting strong people, he was also helping the white priest Elias to stand up for him at Cihang Pudu. It was like a double act, with each of them using their own subordinates to gain merit.

Reincarnators are usually generous when it comes to spending gold and silver.

After all, gold and silver are very cheap in the God Realm.

Ordinary characters in the story cannot see through what the reincarnators seek, thus they cannot see through the true face beneath that generous facade, and thus cannot see through this not-so-sophisticated double act.

But the path of compassion and salvation is different.

The moment the reincarnator came to pay his respects, the imperial advisor, who cultivated by borrowing the dragon energy of the dynasty, judged that the reincarnator had ill intentions and secretly attacked Elias with the deadly Sanskrit chant.

After ordinary methods of salvation failed to control the reincarnated ones.

Cihang Pudu became even more curious about the visitors from afar, and intensified its efforts to convert them, even transforming into a sixteen-foot-tall golden Buddha statue, which it then seized upon, capturing the two celestial beings who had greatly intrigued it.

"We underestimated this centipede monster! It's incredibly powerful. That strange sound attack is far more powerful than anything shown in the movies! And it's incredibly fast; I didn't have time to escape at all!"

Priest Elias, struggling to maintain his position amidst the deadly chanting of the Sanctuary of St. George, desperately pleaded for help from the strongest member of the group:
"Damn it, this monster actually wants to make me his slave!"

“Hector, my double defensive shield can only last for another twenty-five minutes at most, and after ten minutes, we'll have to let Liara fend for herself. This piece of trash isn't very strong, but if he dies, we'll all get negative points. Hurry up…”

Elias's enhanced attribute is Priest, but his core ability is not healing, but Holy Light-based combat ability.

This member of the Celestials team mostly wields the A-grade Durandal Holy Sword to hack and slash, making him a complete melee brute.

In addition to various melee abilities, he also enhanced two types of magic originating from different worlds, both of which can be cast by priests.

First, the Sanctuary of St. George.

This is also his strongest technique, which can be used for defense or to unleash the Dragon King's Sigh for ranged attacks.

The Dragon King's Sigh can also attack satellites in space.

Second, baptismal chanting.

This magic is extremely powerful when dealing with spirit creatures.

At the same time, the wider the spread of Christianity, the greater the power of this tactic.

Most horror movies are set in a modern world where Christianity is prevalent, which makes Elias very comfortable when facing supernatural monsters and can easily earn reward points.

However, when faced with the compassionate salvation, the Dragon King's sigh, which had always been invincible, was like scraping a cup, only making the golden Buddha statue of the compassionate salvation slightly dimmer.

As for the baptismal chants... they fall short compared to the life-snatching chants of the compassionate salvation.

“Marie Rose and I are trying our best to get going,” Hector replied calmly over the communicator.

As he hurried along, he searched for information from his teammates: "Song Tian, ​​Luo Yinglong, do you know anything about this centipede demon?"

This muscular giant from the Celestials team could actually be faster.

However, he believes it is more prudent to gather more intelligence before entering the fray than to rush into battle; as for Elias's current predicament, well, we'll just have to put this teammate through the wringer for now.

Despite being a powerful monster, the Black Mountain Demon is highly respected among demons, and many monsters have heard of this mountain range that resides in the underworld.

Even a minor demon like the Tree Demon Granny is known to many other demons. So why is Cihang Pudu so unknown?

Hector has killed many demons and monsters during this period. He doesn't care what their grievances are or whether they have powerful backers. As long as they can provide him with reward points, he has no choice but to die.

None of the demons and monsters recognized Cihang Pudu, nor did they know which immortal mountain this centipede demon had cultivated on before becoming the national advisor.

This is not normal.

Hector will never engage in a decisive battle with Cihang Pudu before gathering enough intelligence.

Song Tian answered first: "The martial arts practitioners and low-level Taoist priests here do not have information about Cihang Pudu. They know that this monster is the Imperial Preceptor, but they have no idea that the Imperial Preceptor is a demon."

Song Tian was originally targeting the lower levels, and the martial artists and cultivators he had recruited were not very strong.

"I've heard some rumors in the Kunlun Mountains," Luo Yinglong said over the communicator.

Hector listened intently, even slowing his pace.

"This world wasn't originally this bad, but hundreds of years ago, the dragon vein was severed and the connection between heaven and earth was severed! Since then, the free energy in the world has become less and less, and it has become increasingly difficult for cultivators."

Luo Yinglong said, "Cihang Pudu may have originated from an experiment by cultivators. In the movie, Cihang Pudu plans to undergo tribulation to become a dragon, but his core is not a dragon in the real sense, but a dragon vein!"

"The cultivators intend to use this monster to reshape the dragon veins on the land of China, so that the free energy in the world can be recirculated and the gate to cultivation can be reopened."

"This is also why the strong among the righteous people don't care about compassion and salvation at all... The origin of everything is the conflict between imperial power and immortal power. In order to maintain its power forever, the imperial power simply destroyed the dragon vein, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to be gradually exhausted. In this way, what's wrong with cultivators using the fortune of this dynasty to reshape a special dragon vein?"

"Does it have any weaknesses?" Hector asked.

Luo Yinglong answered affirmatively: "Yes, the Xuanyuan Sword is very effective against this monster. It can easily strip away the dragon energy it possesses and break it back to its original form. Weapons of the same type can also play a certain suppressive role."

"It's like Cihang Pudu has had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to encounter Yan Chixia. They have no advantage in terms of timing, location, or people. They might not be able to exert even one-tenth of their full strength."

Yan Chixia possessed a Xuanyuan Sword.

"..."

Hector paused for a moment, then asked, "Anything else?"

The Celestial Team's magical artifacts are all of very high quality, but who would specifically exchange for a Xuanyuan Sword... Even Luo Yinglong didn't prepare one.

Luo Yinglong shook his head and said into the communicator, "Besides that, we can only suppress it with sheer strength and defeat it head-on! Fortunately, it doesn't have many special abilities, and the cultivators who train Cihang Pudu are also preventing Cihang Pudu from getting out of their control."

"But that requires immense power... the power to suppress an entire era!"

"Can we defeat this era head-on?"

The muscular giant Hector chuckled: "Alright, let me test just how strong this monster is, and whether it's worth us using its power!"

His whole body emitted a blood-red aura.

Two long, chain-like blades, burning with flames, extended from his arms, pulling the muscular man swiftly toward their destination.
