From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

High Priest Sky Blue's face was filled with disbelief as he stared at the five people who had suddenly traversed nearly a thousand miles to arrive, unable to help himself from bellowing loudly!

"You actually have such a method?"

He couldn't help but ask:

"Exactly how did you do it? Could it be that you paid a heavy price, using some kind of powerful Forbidden rare artifact?"

At this very moment, Sage Dark Blue within him reminded, "Calm down, it doesn't matter, there's only one 'Monarch-level' among the enemies, and that lady has also arrived."

"The situation is three against one, things will develop just like they did in the past..."

The terrifying invisible toxic fog had already enveloped Priestess Cyan Blue. She continued to pray, suddenly gripping her own throat in immense pain, her eyes continuously widening, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"Uh, ah..."

She convulsed uncontrollably, curled up on the ground, pain seemingly manifesting throughout her entire being.

The aged High Priest Sky Blue stood by calmly, prepared to watch her, the betrayer, die in agony, with no intention of attacking further.

He said coldly:

"Hmph, a betrayer's death is nothing to lament!"

"Buzz."

High Priest Sky Blue heard the sound of a Gold Coin.

In Byrne's hand was a gold coin, already flicked into the sky, and the next moment, the agonized Priestess Cyan Blue swapped places with the gold coin, bringing her, still struggling, to the side of the Fischer family.

Yeager concentrated on the enemy, saying with a fighting spirit, "Don't be afraid, the great Lord of the Lost shelters us."

Lilian's eyes gleamed with the verdant light of the Spirit-returning Tree.

"Let the divine relieve your pain."

The next moment, the terrifying poison inside Priestess Cyan Blue began to subside gradually, her trembling, pained body also returned to normal. In just a short span of a dozen seconds, she was completely cured and stood up from the ground again.

"Just a dozen seconds to relieve my poison... How is this possible? Just an Extraordinary Exponent at the Transmutation Level, could it also be using a Forbidden rare artifact?"

High Priest Sky Blue was once again filled with shock, feeling everything happening before him was too unbelievable.

His own potent toxin, could it really be neutralized by an Extraordinary Exponent at the Transmutation Level in a short time?

Theoretically, it was almost impossible, but facts were facts, and he could only accept it.

No big deal, the heart of High Priest Sky Blue was not completely shaken yet.

Lilian, having used the power of the Spirit-returning Tree, frowned slightly and immediately reminded her family members around her.

"It's a potent poison, even using the power of the 'Spirit-returning Tree' requires a dozen seconds to completely cure it, even more difficult than Limb Regeneration."

After the narrow escape from death, Priestess Cyan Blue knelt on the ground and laughed uproariously.

"Hahahaha! I'm not dead! Not dead, thanks be to the great Lord of the Lost, please allow us to completely annihilate that monster from the depths of the ocean, haha!"

The members of the Fischer family all looked alarmed, except for Lilian, who felt that everything was in God's control, and wasn't too concerned.

However, Byrne knew the situation at hand was delicate; the family had completely come to the edge of the cliff, and they no longer had the option to escape.

Indeed, the mental state of this Priestess Cyan Blue was unstable, as she was one who had converted after experiencing some extreme events. Perhaps because she had no intention of betrayal, she also hadn't suffered divine punishment.

"To have such a loophole in the Blood Receiver system... "

He took a deep breath.

If High Priest Sky Blue or Sage Dark Blue were allowed to escape, or if they were able to convey this information to others, things could turn very bad, and the Fischer family might even face destruction!

The expression of High Priest Sky Blue was very complex.

"So you are people of the Lost Cult, that explains it... This way, many things make sense."

He didn't feel any fear, rather there was disdain and excitement deep inside him.

Good.

It will be good for you to ambush me!

"Not bad, I thought the Winged Folk would come, but it's just you... Very good."

Chris stared deep into the eyes of High Priest Sky Blue.

He remained silent but still poised, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Apart from Chris, the other four, Byrne, Lilian, Darren, and Yeager, had all arrived at the island through the black mist.

They were almost all in battle readiness. Except for Darren, who wore an Iron Mask, making his expression indecipherable, the rest were all very serious.

Ambushing a Monarch powerful expert!

It was undeniably a major event, not something anyone could afford to take lightly, or let their guard down.

Lilian, holding a sacred object, knelt on the ground, closed her eyes, and began to pray.

"Great Lord of the Lost."

"Please grant us victory."

"We will offer the flesh and power of our enemies as a sacrifice to You, so You can rise again from the fall! To become the ruler of the world!"

Karl's consciousness rose higher, gazing calmly at the battlefield from above, deeply understanding how terrifying his newly mastered abilities were in strategic terms.

As long as he had a place that belonged to his own followers, he could air-drop Extraordinary Exponents from a great distance to strike.

It was undoubtedly an extraordinary mystical maneuver, incomprehensible and unpredictable to the enemies, who could only remain shockingly incredulous.

Chris, through telekinesis, caused himself to float high in the sky, fully unleashing the aura of a Demon-Hunting Master, which made both the High Priest Sky Blue and Sage Dark Blue quite uncomfortable.

They were like prey being watched!

There was simply no way to escape the lock-on!

At that moment, Chris was the first to sense something was wrong and abruptly discovered that inside the High Priest Sky Blue, the concealed Sage Dark Blue also possessed the aura of Monarch Level.

When everyone first learned of the resurrection of Sage Dark Blue through the Forbidden Knowledge of the Spirit Realm, they were all very surprised, and still found it unbelievable even upon seeing it with their own eyes.

Could there really exist such a peculiar phenomenon as "two souls in one" in this world?

The Forbidden Knowledge of the Spirit Realm was varied and bizarre, perhaps truly anything was possible.

"Be careful."

Chris calmly warned everyone from the Dawn Church.

"Dark Blue has opened the gates of the palace."

Byrne and the others were deeply shaken, staring incredulously at High Priest Sky Blue.

The aged high priest sneered, with a ghostly shadow gradually emerging beside him—it was the soul manifestation of Sage Dark Blue.

"Dual Monarchs?"

Byrne furrowed his brows deeply, unconsciously glancing at his daughter, Lilian.

He couldn't help but say, "Lilian, the situation is just slightly unfavorable, don't recklessly use 'that'..."

Regardless, Byrne never wanted his daughter to leave him; if he had to choose a family member to sacrifice, he hoped it would be himself.

Lilian fell silent, not speaking.

She considered that although she had known through Priestess Cyan Blue that Sage Dark Blue had resurrected, no one had heard that he had already reached the Monarch Level.

And the rest of the Fischer family were mostly unaware of one fact: there was still another powerful expert of Monarch Level lurking from afar.

Only Chris noticed that.

That existence might have been even stronger than High Priest Sky Blue, the one Chris needed to be most wary of, as the opponent possessed some sort of terrifying aura.

Therefore, Chris shook his head and continued to speak:

"Three Monarchs."

The members of the Fischer family all froze upon hearing this, their faces a picture of astonishment.

An enemy of Monarch Level outside their field of vision?

No wonder that High Priest Sky Blue was completely unfazed, not panicking, but instead sneering incessantly.

Six of us against three powerful Monarch experts?

Can we win?

A strong sense of fear surged in Byrne's heart, knowing the game changer was likely the "brain trust," Sage Dark Blue, and he too apparently had the idea and preparation to "lure the snake out of its hole."

The imminent battle was going to be extremely difficult, likely leading to the annihilation of the Fischer family's main fighting force!

At that very moment, the hidden Monarch powerful expert made the first move.

Fire-red clouds suddenly appeared all around, coalescing and surging towards the members of the Fischer family.

Byrne's expression drastically changed as he immediately recognized the fire-red clouds—that hidden Monarch powerful expert was one of the assailants who had ambushed and tried to kill the Thunderous Monarch years ago!

Moreover, it was highly likely that this was the silent "Spirit Essence" from the Alchemy Council!

Although there had been little communication, Byrne always felt that "Spirit Essence" was very dangerous, even having a vague sense that even if she was less powerful, her fearsome nature was no less than that of "Solar Gold."

"Be careful! The one hiding is the most threatening one!"

While everyone was shocked by the fire-red clouds, High Priest Sky Blue also released an invisible, colorless, but extremely poisonous fog, which floated along with the fire-red cloud towards them.

The two special types of fog merged, rapidly becoming scalding hot, and then exploding with a bang!

"Boom!"

The furious explosion instantly formed a sea of fire, engulfing the members of the Fischer family in a flash.

The fire spread rapidly, devouring all surrounding objects, forming a vast area ablaze with flames that shone with a dazzling bright hue. As the fire's intensity increased, the heat generated in the inferno caused the surrounding air to rise steadily, creating strong currents.

Yes, in that battle decades ago, High Priest Sky Blue discovered something.

When his poison fog combined with that lady's fire cloud domain, it triggered something called a "chemical reaction," leading to a very violent explosion!

And the power of the explosion was immense, enough to instantly inflict heavy damage on Monarch Level Extraordinary powerful experts!

With the aid of his brother, "Sage Dark Blue," High Priest Sky Blue couldn't help but sneer, feeling certain in his heart that the members of the Fischer family were doomed.

He gazed at the sea of fire before him and said aloud:

"Oh, frenzied Sea God Sovereign! Today is truly a lucky day bestowed by you! We will soon be fortunate for your sake, ready to vanquish our powerful foes on this very spot!"

"Let us offer you the freshest bait!"
