Chapter 357 - Duel between Divine Treasure Realm Beings (1/2)

At that moment, everyone began brainstorming ways to resist Lu Xuan’s attacks.

No matter how much they thought about it, however, they were all hardly able to come up with anything.

It seemed to them that such a situation was just hopeless.

Lu Xuan was just moving far too quickly for them to keep up.

Before the fight began, none of them genuinely thought the attacks coming from Lu Xuan’s sword could have been so frighteningly swift.

Their vision was so keen that one could equate them with high-speed cameras.

Even so, they were unable to see just how fast Lu Xuan was with his sword all the same, and that served as a testament to his fearsome speed at swordplay.

The thought of trying to withstand such an attack was unthinkably fearsome.

More importantly, Lu Xuan was more than just fast; he was unbelievably strong, as well.

Everyone knew that for someone to be able to swing a sword at such frightening speeds, their body had to be extremely strong and resilient. If their constitution was not high enough, there was simply no way for anyone to withstand swing their sword at such speeds.

Despite that, Lu Xuan had yet to actually use any other means. He managed to deal heavy damage to Pope Innocent through the sheer speed of his sword attacks alone.

Even the most basic of moves would be able to bring forth utterly devastating power at the hands of cutting-edge masters like Lu Xuan.

Pfftt!

Blood spewed from Pope Innocent’s mouth.

Lu Xuan casually glanced over at the pope. There was no doubt that the pope was already half a Divine Treasure Realm being by now, and he would have been able to make a complete breakthrough soon enough.

The truth, however, was that he still had yet to do so.

As such, his power level was still leagues away from that of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan then turned his attention to that two-winged angel.

That angel was the only adversary that stood a chance against Lu Xuan.

That angel was the true trump card that the Roman Curia brought about to take him on.

The Roman Curia had been way too ambitious; they intended to rebuild heaven on Earth, trying to revert the entire planet to how things were in the middle ages.

The pope intended to reform the Roman Curia from a powerful religious organization to one that wielded real power to rule over nations.

The first step they had to take towards such a goal was to target Lu Xuan.

After all, they would not have been able to shake the world if the target were to be anyone else.

At the sight before him, the two-winged angel extended its hand and shrouded the pope in holy light.

The pope’s wounds became completely healed in an instant. Had it not been for his clothes still soaked with blood, no one could have even been able to tell that he had sustained such damage.

“I’m immortal. There is no way you could kill me. The glory of our Lord now manifests in my being!”

Pope Innocent glared at Lu Xuan coldly.

Suddenly, orbs of light from countless statues on St. Peter’s Basilica gushed into the pope’s body.

As the pope instantly transformed, his powers burst to yet another level: that of the Divine Treasure Realm.

Pope Innocent had made a breakthrough into the Divine Treasure Realm.

Boom!

An aura that resembled the light emanating from that two-winged angel spread everywhere.

Everyone immediately sensed a terrifying pressure bearing on their shoulders.

Only one question came to the minds of several people: “Pope Innocent made a breakthrough too?” That thought threw everyone into utter confusion.

That two-winged angel alone had been far more than they were able to handle before, and now even the pope managed to make a breakthrough. That meant that there were two Divine Treasure Realm beings currently present.

That was a huge amount of pressure on all cultivators from all across the world.

No one would have wanted to face off against something so terrifying.
