Chapter 1292: Do You Think It’s Your Own Power?

Chapter 1292: Do You Think It’s Your Own Power?

Lin Nuo felt as if the Holy City was about to collapse. The demonized Sacred Beasts surrounding them were stunned by the explosive force, retreating in fear and not daring to advance.

Honestly, Lin Nuo thought that even if Xiao Ling could wipe out the Handa Alliance, the entire city would be destroyed too— it would be a complete disaster.

This was the fiercest female ghost he had ever seen this century, and she could summon the four Divine Sacred Beasts for a mutual destruction.

“Let’s go, there’s no point in watching the excitement.”

Lin Nuo pulled Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue away. This cursed place was no longer safe. If the explosion got too intense, he could be blown to bits, but these two girls had the Sacred Light protection, so they might not blow up.

Now he had to rely on their Sacred Light shield to keep himself safe while stuck with the main characters for a secure escape.

“Oh oh, okay!”

The two girls hurried after Lin Nuo to find refuge.

Xiao Ling was determined to drive out the Handa Alliance and revive the Tian Du Kingdom, but she was too radical and might end up wiping out the entire Holy City, leaving no survivors among the remnants of Tian Du.

The four Sacred Beasts were fierce beyond measure, and even if Han Zhe pushed to his limits, descending like a god, he would still struggle to withstand their impact.

Inside the temple, the holy warriors scrambled to escape, afraid that one delay would mean instant vaporization. However, once they stepped outside, they faced attacks from the demonized Sacred Beasts.

Screams echoed throughout the Holy City. The land once blessed by Sacred Light was slowly turning into a hell on earth, fires raging through the cities, and corpses littering the ground.

Aike, however, remained calm, or rather, this scene was precisely what he desired.

Though he had a multitude of demonized Sacred Beasts, taking down the temple would still take considerable effort, and he risked being destroyed by Sacred Light.

But now, someone was breaking into the temple for him. He could sit back and watch the chaos unfold, reaping the benefits like a fisherman catching fish.

The four Sacred Beasts might even become his own tools.

After all, he was the one orchestrating all of this.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the flames in the temple raged fiercer, thick black smoke spiraling into the sky as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The four Sacred Beasts were in a frenzy, completely out of control. Their targets were not only Han Zhe and the holy warriors of the Handa Alliance but even extended to the citizens of the Holy City.

Boom!

After several waves of explosions that extended beyond the temple, the once-prosperous Holy City gradually turned into ruins, haunted by souls everywhere.

Han Zhe could no longer hold on; the godlike descent faded, and he was pressed to the ground by the four Sacred Beasts, waiting for the sentence of death.

“Han Zhe, you’ve reached the end of your road.”

Xiao Ling approached Han Zhe, raising her hand, her voice filled with rage.

“You… ha… even if you kill me… can the Tian Du Kingdom be revived? Have you looked at what you’re doing? You’re destroying this city, this kingdom… you’re the one destroying it with your own hands…”

“Shut up! As long as you’re dead, the Tian Du Kingdom will definitely be revived!”

Xiao Ling ignored Han Zhe’s words. She was in a high state, convinced of her righteousness, believing that Han Zhe had ruined the Tian Du Kingdom, and he had to face judgment and bear the suffering of its people!

“Die!”

Xiao Ling shouted, and then the four Sacred Beasts attacked him relentlessly. Amidst the screams, Han Zhe’s life came to an end.

“It’s over! It’s over! He’s dead! Next, the Tian Du Kingdom can be revived! My husband, I haven’t let you down. We can revive the Tian Du Kingdom!”

Xiao Ling was ecstatic, believing that after finishing off Han Zhe, everything would get better. The fallen kingdom would be revived, and all that perished would return to its former glory!

However, when she truly came to her senses, the Holy City was already engulfed in flames. The ground was littered with corpses, and the temple was unrecognizable, with none of Tian Du’s surviving citizens in sight.

“How can this…”

She couldn’t believe it. The rational side of her had just vanished, consumed by an urge to destroy the Handa Alliance, completely neglecting everything around her.

Meanwhile, Aike, observing from the outskirts, began to approach the temple slowly.

“Who?!”

Xiao Ling became alert, ready to confront the intruder, only to find it was a demon.

“You? Aike? Ha, you came at just the right time; I was just about to find you. Today will mark the end of your Handa Alliance. Prepare to die!”

Xiao Ling commanded, and the four Sacred Beasts lunged at Aike. Just when they were about to strike, they missed completely.

“What…?”

Xiao Ling thought she was hallucinating, and Aike reappeared. The four Sacred Beasts rushed at him again, only to find they had missed him once more. It felt like they were chasing after a mirage.

“What’s going on! Where are you? Come out!”

Xiao Ling was enraged. The four Sacred Beasts continued to rampage, destroying everything around, searching for multiple Aikes, yet every time they ended up swinging at thin air.

“Xiao Ling, oh Xiao Ling. You’re just a wandering soul. Did you ever consider why you can still exist on the Sacred Mountain?”

Aike reappeared before Xiao Ling, still merely a phantom, delivering his message.

“Stop trying so hard; it’s all an illusion. You can’t kill me.”

“What do you want!”

Xiao Ling roared, and the Sacred Beasts charged again but still didn’t achieve their goal.

Just an illusion that can’t be killed.

“Seems you still don’t understand. Did you think you survived solely on your own power? How easy it would be for me to destroy you?”

Aike smirked.

“You were able to easily enter the temple and even acquire the two Sacred Beasts from Han Zhe, all thanks to your own abilities?”

“That was my ministers who took them for me.”

“Your ministers, huh? What a joke. They’ve been struggling to survive in the temple, with no real standing. Did you ever consider that the so-called ministers who helped you might actually be dead? And the ones who did help you were nothing but puppets.”

“Puppets?!”

Xiao Ling seemed to realize something. She had heard of the demon realm’s treacherous schemes, often using puppets to sow discord. And puppets looked very similar to their real bodies— almost indistinguishable.

But that couldn’t be possible; how could a demon place puppets inside the Sacred Realm?

“In the Sacred Realm, you were already at a disadvantage. How could you possibly deploy puppets?” Xiao Ling protested.

“You don’t know? I’d planted spies in the temple long before, all in preparation for today. What you’re seeing are my eyes in the temple. But they’re already dead, and you can’t see them again.”

“Even so, what does it matter? I’ve already awakened the four Sacred Beasts; they are under my control!”

“Yes, they are under your control. But only while you still exist. You’re merely a wandering soul; your prolonged existence is nothing but my assistance prolonging your life. Alright, now you’ve had your revenge, it’s time for you to go.”

Aike snapped his fingers, and Xiao Ling felt her body turning transparent, as if she were about to disappear.

“This…! No!”
