Chapter 692 - The Saint Yielded (1/2)
692 The Saint Yielded
A Saint?
It was a being on an equal footing with the Earth Level Deities in the East.
Everyone was startled after hearing what Chen Fan said.
They knew that there hadn’t been a Saint in the Christian Church since Saint Augustine died a thousand years before. Even the priests and monks were unaware of his existence!
“Swish.”
The others looked at the elder.
The elder had white hair and his face was full of wrinkles. He seemed to be exhausted, seemingly about to fall down at any time. The blonde knight next to him was extremely respectful as if he were serving a king.
Everyone knew this blonde knight. He was the chief adjudicator of the Religious Court; he had once ranked second on the Divine Roll in the past. His body was surrounded by the raging Gift of Light! They knew that only a real bigwig of the Christian Church could make him act so respectfully, but n.o.body would have imagined that the elder was a Saint.
“Saint Francis, you’re alive?” an old Cardinal suddenly yelled.
“The 42nd Pope, Saint Francis?”
This immediately caused a great furor.
Francis was the most outstanding Pope in the last five centuries, who brought the Christian Church to their golden age, to stand independently from the British Empire. And yet, this was two centuries in the past; he would have been three hundred years old if he were still alive.
“It really is Saint Francis! I’ve seen his painting in the Pope’s hall,” another bishop exclaimed.
Then, everyone knelt on the ground and said with tears in their eyes, “Our great, respected, sacred Saint Francis! Please protect the Christian Church…”
The elder walked forward slowly.
His body was sending out beams of gentle white light which shone upon all those present. He didn’t feel tired anymore and his scars started to heal. His white hair gradually turned black; his wrinkles disappeared and he stood upright, turning into a brawny middle-aged man.
“Mr. Chen Beixuan, you’re an Earth Level Deity of the East. Why did you come to the Christian Church to make trouble?”
Saint Francis’ Gift of Light surged and became as wide as an ocean, which was much stronger than the power of the Blood Ancestor; it had almost reached the peak of the early Connate stage. If Chen Fan didn’t exist, he would definitely be the most powerful Overlord on Earth.
“I wanted to see your person in charge but they didn’t listen and even pointed their swords at me,” Chen Fan said, “The Christian Church is a bit rude. Is this how you treat your guests?”
“Bullsh*t! You’re the one who trespa.s.sed the restricted area!” a priest said.
Chen Fan then glared at him, making him step back.
“Sir, you’re the most powerful person in the world, the Overlord that dominates the East. Why care about the mortals? Just tell me what you want and the Christian Church will do its utmost to help you.”
“All right! I want you to give me all the records and books about the seven Forbidden Lands,” Chen Fan replied.
All the Christian Church members were startled.
The seven Forbidden Lands were the oldest mysteries on Earth. They were related to the secrets behind the disappearance of all the legendary Ent.i.ties. Each of them was extremely dangerous, and countless lives had been sacrificed to get that information… And yet, Chen Fan simply wanted to take it all away?
“Sir, that is cla.s.sified information of the Christian Church. We can’t lend it to you. Please leave,” the blonde knight said seriously.
“You misunderstood what I said. I’m here to take those records, not borrow them,” Chen Fan said.
The North Mystic Celestial Lord dominated the universe and could kill whoever he wanted. How would he be constrained by morality? The Christian Church had to give him the records anyway and Chen Fan wanted to take this opportunity to frighten them, all in order to keep their parents from harm after he left.
“How dare you!”
The bishops were enraged.
Chen Fan wanted to take away the records from the Christian Church forcefully? All the members were completely irritated.
“Lord Francis, I request the adjudicators to take action. Have them punish this man who broke into the sacred grounds and humiliated the Christian Church,” a bishop knelt and said.
The other members also shouted.
The Christian Church had been founded for thousands of years. Even the American soldiers couldn’t enter so easily back then, not to mention there were also Saints lying in wait.
Chen Fan remained silent and took a step forward.
“Boom!”
A powerful energy surged out of Chen Fan’s body and an image of the Kun Peng appeared behind him.
The Kun Peng was a few thousand miles wide which covered the entire sky. Its terrifying energy was spread across the square; many members of the Christian Church collapsed, unable to bear the pressure.
Only the eight Immortal State bishops were still standing, letting out beams of white light.
“Sir, don’t do this.” Saint Francis also let out his energy to protect the members behind him.
“Hand over the records, or die!” Chen Fan said with his cold eyes.
He finally showed the true form of the Celestial Lord, a mighty and domineering existence. His energy surged forward like a thousand-mile tsunami and Saint Francis had no chance of fighting back; it was like a little boat in front of a giant wave.
