Chapter 0179: The Temple Has Been Destroyed!

The 36-Beam Light Magic Array originated from the Plane of the Light God. In that divine plane, some four-winged angels even used this magic array to trap and kill god-tier warriors.
Although on the Hengyuan Continent, the magic stones used to construct this 36-Beam Light Magic Array were of low grade, Huanglong was merely at the Divine Realm level, and Tobid was confident he could trap and kill Huanglong with this array.
Upon hearing Tobid’s words, Huanglong sneered. A 36-Beam Light Magic Array? Such a crude magic array and still called an array? God-tier warrior? With his current cultivation level, he had no fewer than a hundred ways to break through this array.
The magic arrays in this world simply relied on magic stones to generate celestial energy and use that energy for attacks. Moreover, the magic symbols in these stones were crude and simplistic, utterly incapable of activating the celestial energy within the array.
“Activate the 36-Beam Light Magic Array at full strength!” At that moment, Tobid’s deep voice was heard inside the temple.
Under Tobid’s command, the saints of the Light Church also gathered around the large pillar in the center of the temple. Suddenly, 36 beams of light flashed from the ground around the pillar. Then, 36 magic symbols formed a 36-sided pattern around the pillar, with the 36 saints of Pope Haides standing atop each of those symbols.
Standing atop the temple, four-winged angel Tobid spread his wings and soared into the air, hovering above the temple as he chanted complex magic spells, his entire body enveloped in a white glow.
In the blink of an eye, as Tobid, Pope Haides, and the others infused their magical power and combat energy into the array, intricate magic symbols suddenly appeared on the surface of the central pillar. These symbols wound their way up from the base of the pillar all the way to its top.
“Power of the Light God!” Tobid roared. The power of the Light God contained within the Light God Stone was instantly unleashed, and a mighty force surged up from the center of the temple.
A beam of light shot straight into the clouds.
Above the sacred mountain, there was pure light.
Even the royal city of the Biyou Kingdom could see this beam of light. Everyone gasped in astonishment.
“It’s the Temple Light!”
“The Light Church has activated the Temple Light!”
Those who knew the situation cried out in shock.
“Has Senior Huanglong attacked the sacred mountain?”
“Probably. Otherwise, how else could the Light Church activate the Temple Light?”
Not only in the Biyou Kingdom but also in some smaller kingdoms surrounding it, people exclaimed in shock and discussion.

Of course, the vast majority guessed that it must be the Yellow Dragon attacking the Holy Mountain, which prompted the Church of Light to activate the Thirty-Six Rays of Light Magic Array. Upon realizing that the Yellow Dragon was now attacking the Holy Mountain, the kingdoms and duchies surrounding it immediately became abuzz with discussion. Even many powerful individuals, relying on their own strength, rushed toward the Holy Mountain—such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity was one they certainly wouldn’t want to miss. Inside the temple, Tobid and the others activated the Thirty-Six Rays of Light Magic Array, harnessing the power of the Sacred Light Stone. Yet the Yellow Dragon remained motionless; instead, it unfurled the five-directional flags, and clusters of golden lotuses, red flowers, and white mist emerged, protecting everyone around it. Despite the intense light energy within the magic array, it couldn’t even shake the area within a hundred feet around them. Seeing that the Yellow Dragon hadn’t made any move, Gusta and the others had no choice but to abandon their attack plans. “Yellow Dragon, you’re trapping yourself—thinking you can truly withstand the attack of the Thirty-Six Rays of Light Magic Array? Now, I’ll show you just how powerful it is!” Tobid shouted inside the temple. At this point, he realized that the Yellow Dragon intended to “risk everything” by deliberately getting trapped in the magic array to test its strength?! Filled with anger, Tobid realized that the Yellow Dragon dared to underestimate their church’s defensive array! Did it really think it could handle them after defeating Wendy? Tobid unleashed all the light energy within him, along with the others from the church, to fully activate the power of the Thirty-Six Rays of Light Magic Array. Boom! As the array launched its full-scale attack, the entire space around the Holy Mountain seemed to tremble. Pope Hades and the others also breathed a sigh of relief as they activated the array to attack the Yellow Dragon and his companions. From activation to attack, it took only a few blinks of time—during which they feared the Yellow Dragon and his group might force their way out of the magic array. If that happened, killing them would become difficult. Faced with the overwhelming light energy emitted by the Thirty-Six Rays of Light Magic Array, Bog and the others, though knowing their master was confident in handling the situation, still felt uneasy. Amidst such intense light energy, they felt as if they were boats in a vast ocean, ready to be destroyed at any moment. As the light energy surged forward, a glint appeared in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes; its vital energy surged forth, and the five-directional flags shone brilliantly once again, emitting multicolored light. Streams of elemental energy burst forth from the five flags.

Boom! A tremendous shockwave erupted, causing the entire Sacred Mountain to tremble. The attack from the 36-ray Light Magic Array collided with the elemental energies from the Five-direction Flags, causing spatial distortions and rocks from the surrounding mountains to roll down. Apart from the main peak of the Sacred Mountain, trees and buildings on other peaks were also affected, all being destroyed, sent flying, or collapsing. Although the Light Church and others had already set up defenses on the surrounding mountains, they still underestimated the destructive power of this battle. Fortunately, they had gathered all the knight orders of the Light Church underground beneath the main peak, so the collision did not cause any casualties among them. Under this impact, inside the temple, Tobid, Haides, and others shuddered as they were forced to halt the circulation of their magic power and combat energy. On the side of the Yellow Dragon, the elemental energies from the Five-direction Flags dispersed, the Golden Lotus and white mist vanished, and the Yellow Dragon led everyone back dozens of feet. “What?! It’s unharmed?!” Tobid and the others were shocked to see that the Yellow Dragon had withstood the attack and only retreated slightly. Looking at the Five-direction Flags on the Yellow Dragon’s head, Tobid’s expression darkened. Suppressing the surging energy in his body, Tobid shouted, “Use our life force as a catalyst and launch it again!” For those who practice cultivation, their life force contains the energy of their cultivation level. If all the saints of the Church used their life force to activate the 36-ray Light Magic Array, its power would double. However, just as they were about to do so, the Yellow Dragon moved. Soaring into the air, it instantly broke through the layers of light energy in the array. Then, with a flash between its brows, the Immortal Pavilion emerged. As soon as it appeared, the spirit of the weapon, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, let out a roar that dispersed all air currents within several miles. “True Dragon Dance!” Hundreds or even thousands of golden dragons appeared all over the body of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon; these dragons were all formed from its own vital energy, and then they began to dance. What was the scene like as these dragons danced? Amidst the countless dragon shadows, terrifying waves of dragon energy spread out, wave after wave crashing toward the main peak of the Sacred Mountain. Like tidal waves, strike after strike battered the mountain. The Immortal Pavilion itself became like a giant mountain, a massive structure emitting golden light. The Yellow Dragon pulled it downward with both hands, pressing it fiercely toward the Sacred Mountain’s temple. With the Five-clawed Golden Dragons dancing around, the temple shook violently again and again, like branches in a storm. Tobid and the other four-winged angels were unable to activate the 36-ray Light Magic Array for a time.

What’s going on? Tobid and the others were shocked. As this thought flashed through their minds, suddenly, darkness covered the sky. Through the Light Crystal of the Temple, Tobid and the others looked up and saw a giant mountain of gold rushing straight down at them.

Boom, boom!

The temple itself was built from Light Stones, with countless magic runes engraved on its surface. As the Mountain of Immortals descended, these magic runes emitted a dazzling light, temporarily slowing down its momentum. But it didn’t work—the mountain continued its descent after just a brief pause.

What?! Seeing what was happening, Tobid and the others’ calm expressions turned into panic.

As everyone panicked, the mountain finally crashed into the temple. The temple emitted a series of cracking sounds.

“Run!” Tobid, unable to care about anything else, shouted in anger.

Just as they fled the temple, the temple that had stood on the Hengyuan Continent for over ten thousand years was completely destroyed, reduced to piles of rubble!

Even the main peak of the Sacred Mountain began to shake violently and crack.

Seeing Tobid and the others escape, Huang Long frowned slightly and retracted the Mountain of Immortals back into his body.

“Rebirth Cutting Technique!”

In an instant, rays of light surrounded Huang Long’s entire body. The rays spun and cut through the air.

As soon as Tobid and the others fled the temple, they saw countless rays of light approaching. In terror, they quickly channeled their inner magic to dodge.

Just as Tobid managed to dodge, screams rang out around him. Eight out of the eighteen winged angels beside him were cut to pieces due to their inability to avoid the attacks, their bodies turning into streams of blood that splashed downward.

Several knights from the Church also met the same fate.

“Huang Long!” Tobid, filled with anger and panic, looked up at the cold-faced Huang Long in the distance.

Huang Long launched a series of powerful attacks. Seeing Tobid dodge, he wasn’t surprised and continued to move swiftly, delivering a punch after another.

Strike while the enemy is weak!

Huang Long didn’t want to give him even a chance to breathe.

“Twelve Stars Fist!”

His fist power condensed, and star energy burst forth, as if twelve stars were attacking fiercely.

Seeing Huang Long attacking again, before his fist could even reach them, his overwhelming strength shattered everything around them. Tobid, filled with anger and panic, showed signs of distress.

“Sword of Judgment!”

In his panic, Tobid wielded the Sword of Light and swung it, firing beams of light. As these beams flew, they created patches of darkness in space.

Everyone has sin in their hearts. The darkness brought about by these countless swords of light, as seen through the Yellow Dragon’s eyes, stirred a sense of guilt deep within it, as if it itself were a sinner who had committed heinous crimes.
