Transcendent Dawn

“This seems like it’s guarding something important!”

Su Lu was very cautious about everything in the Dream of the Ancient God.

But after sensing something, he immediately felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

“The real passage… is in the temple!”

“It’s impossible for me to rush in, facing unknown horrors… Still, at least I have to get to the perimeter of the temple. That way, my positioning will be more accurate.”

At this point, he was confident in his ability to traverse back to the real world, but his location would be randomly placed somewhere between the Old and the New Continent.

Su Lu didn’t want to end up thrown into the Chris Empire, having to take a ferry back for several months.

He thought for a moment, intending to go over and call out to Theo and the others, collecting some information in passing.

Oliver and the others had arrived much earlier than him, and should have gained some experience.

“It’s you!”

“A wanted criminal of the Federation!”

“Black Knight!”

Upon seeing Su Lu, Theo and the others immediately became alert and assumed defensive postures.

‘Damn… I forgot I’m wanted!’

After thinking for a moment, Su Lu said in a low voice, “In the face of the obstacle ahead… we need to unite!”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Looking at Su Lu’s fiery gaze, Theo firmly refused the proposal for cooperation: “I will never cooperate with a criminal! Especially… since you’ve killed people from our Eleventh Bureau!”

In reality, there were two reasons for this. One, they simply didn’t believe that Su Lu had the strength to enter the temple.

“Really…”

It seemed that these people were still unaware of what had happened to their bodies in the real world.

Su Lu chuckled lightly: “What a pity.”

At that moment, Oliver, who had been closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened them, “I pray…Let the light descend!”

A burst of holy light fell on Su Lu’s cloak, burning fiercely.

—”Holy Light Attack!”

“So they made the first move? Did they sense my hostility?”

Su Lu let out a hearty laugh, spurring his horse forward: “Kill!”

With a single sweep of his blade, he killed several of the men in black cloaks from the Eleventh Bureau who were caught off guard.

These men were all “Soldiers”, “Gunfighters”, and the like. If they had guns and special bullets in the real world, Su Lu wouldn’t dare to assault them like this.

But now… their Spiritual Bodies were only a bit stronger than ordinary people’s.

Bang!

As Su Lu was charging, he was struck by several bullets.

The bullets, engraved with runes and emitting a sacred glow, made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Looking up, he saw Theo aiming at him. Theo was holding an old-fashioned firearm, seemingly of the earliest flintlock design.

“A marvelous weapon of that level that you can bring into the Spirit World?”

Su Lu sneered: “Spirit oppression!”

Boom!

After two rounds of advancement, his terrifying spiritual power, which had already reached 10.0, combined with the temporary increase from the Spirit Oppression, came crashing down like a raging river from mid-air.

His Spirit Oppression could be compared to the might of an average Giant Dragon, demonstrating a top predator’s disdain for its prey.

The members of the church and the Eleventh Bureau who were below the third rank Transcendents couldn’t resist at all. They were crawling on the ground, their Spiritual Bodies trembling.

‘Because they are Spiritual Bodies, the effects are even better!’

Su Lu let out a hearty laugh, lifted his scimitar, and started another massacre.

“Holy Light Cage!”

At this moment, Oliver, who had been chanting, finally stopped his prayers and pointed at Su Lu.

Several beams of white holy light flew out, forming a cage-like structure, trapping the Black Knight inside.

Lines of white and majestic light, filled with a fierce aura formed into cross-shaped swords, continuously falling and piercing the Black Knight’s body.

“Ah!”

An agony that pierced directly into his soul caused Su Lu to cry out uncontrollably.

If he were not in a state of possession by the evil spirit, he might have already been finished!

“Evil… Shall be purged!”

Oliver moved forward step by step, his face resolute.

“Evil… Your definition of evil?”

Su Lu roared suddenly, several trick cards appearing in his hand.

After being possessed by the evil spirit, he wasn’t merely the ‘Black Knight’. He was also a third-tier Magician!

Boom!

Several fireballs exploded in the small space, fierce waves of fire sweeping through, reducing a few unlucky low-level occupational persons in the front to ashes.

“Cards? You are… a Magician from the Ancient Snake Society!”

A light shield appeared around Oliver, protecting him like a shell. A look of shock appeared on his face.

“Go… to hell!”

Amid the flames, Su Lu rode out on his horse, the cards in his hand rapidly shattering, transforming into a series of spells.

–‘Acceleration Spell’!

–‘Slowdown Spell’!

–‘Vine Entwining’!

–‘Weapon Enchantment’!

All of these were his ‘harvests’ during this period. He activated them all at once, boosting the Nightmare Horse’s speed to the limit, while the actions of the enemy on the other side slowed down considerably.

Huge vines, with sharp thorns, sprouted from the ground, sweeping towards the remaining enemies.

Bang!

Su Lu was shot in the chest by Theo for the third time.

But that was his last attack.

The next moment, two strands of vines entwined around Theo’s legs, and as Su Lu sped past, he harvested his spiritual body like a grim reaper.

In the blink of an eye, only Oliver was left from the original team of the church and The Eleventh Bureau.

The man was, after all, a fourth-tier master occupational person. Even if he was only left with his spiritual body, his defense was extremely terrifying.

“You, take this!”

However, Su Lu had no intention of fighting him head on.

He waved his right hand, and a lot of chains appeared, binding Oliver into a ball and fiercely throwing him towards the temple.

Boom!

In mid-air, the chains of spirituality shattered.

Next was Oliver’s holy shield.

He let out a scream, fell to the ground and was engulfed in a sea of Character Soldiers.

“Demon’s lackey!”

“I curse you!”

He fought bravely, his whole body swirling with holy fire, burning every Character Soldier that pounced on him to ashes.

But the enemies were too numerous to count, like ants, pouring in wave after wave, quickly depleting Oliver’s strength.

Desperately breaking through the encirclement, he saw Su Lu coldly waiting for him outside the safety line.

“Die!”

Su Lu’s scimitar swept past, taking Oliver’s head. He immediately retreated swiftly.

The Character Soldiers watched this scene, and they slowly backed off, standing at their respective posts like statues that wouldn’t move for tens of thousands of years.

“So… these Character Soldiers only defend and never pursue?”

“But … even after being killed in such numbers, their total count seems not to have decreased, as if they’re being constantly replenished. Therefore, the strategy of attrition is completely useless!”

“However, killing Oliver and the others’ spiritual bodies granted me a substantial amount of experience… It seems that my guess was right. Experience comes from True Spirits… the most mysterious part of spiritual bodies!”

Su Lu retreated to the safety line, looked at the temple, and a lot of thoughts came into his mind.
