Chapter 529 The Magnificent Cross
Amidst the vast expanse of red sand, raging winds and surging heat waves.
The closer you get to the edge of the desert, the more extreme the temperature becomes, and the endless scorching winds rage day and night, seemingly without end.
Yet, even in such extreme weather, there is a place where a gentle breeze blows, and under the soft sunlight, it maintains a tranquility that seems like another world.
Pure white light permeated the red sand, shaping a land of platinum. Rows of tents stood in orderly rows, radiating a holy light distinct from the fiery desert.
The source of that glory came from the central tent.
The cross, as solid as steel, stood in mid-air, exuding a chilling majesty that seemed to freeze space itself. Even the raging flames of the fiery desert seemed to falter before its majesty.
Without a doubt, the origin of this cross is Joseph Nessalionovich Felum, the Patriarch of the Ursus Orthodox Church.
At this moment, in the tent beneath this cross, Joseph, clad in a red robe, sat like a god on a throne made of steel.
This orthodox patriarch had a typical Ursus physique, his burly body sat upright, his cold and dignified face was covered with a thick beard, and his eyes had a steely silver-gray color.
He simply sat there, a symbol of authority, representing an iron-clad order and power.
"You want to stop the alliance between Ursus and Eastern Xia?"
Joseph rested one hand on the armrest, his silver-gray eyes fixed on a monk dressed in a kasaya.
The monk appeared to be around forty years old, with a round face. He wore a yellow robe under his red kasaya. While turning the prayer beads in his hand and circulating his inner energy to stabilize his mind under the pressure, he replied in Ursus: "It is not to prevent the two sides from forming an alliance, but to inform the Holy See how to obtain the greatest benefit."
""
The monk's blood surged, and his face shone with a clear golden light, as he used his indestructible body to suppress the invisible pressure.
He let out a soft breath and continued, "Currently, the Western Alliance's five-star generals are attacking the Izumo Wasteland, attempting to open the spatial rift in Japan. On the other hand, the Shinra Empire is also advancing, forcing the Eastern Xia Federation to fight on two fronts."
"The Divine Luo Empire deliberately chose the vicinity of Wanlong Mountain as the battlefield, which is the territory of the Dragon Clan. In the past, the Dragon King of Dongxia personally killed a true dragon from Huanglong Nest in order to break through the barrier, which made the Dragon Clan of the Mountain and Sea Realm regard him as an enemy. This time, the Dragon Clan may take the opportunity to retaliate."
,
"Now is the time when the Eastern Xia Federation desperately needs allies."
The monk didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already clearly expressed.
The Eastern Xia Federation needs allies, and this is the perfect opportunity for Ursus to make exorbitant demands.
At this point, waiting for a better price is the most advantageous option.
"Ha," Joseph chuckled emotionlessly, "an Eastern Xia man is suggesting to me how to make Eastern Xia pay an even greater price. How amusing."
"In fact, I am also one-eighth Ursus blood."
The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Moreover, I have been teaching martial arts in the Ursus Federation for many years and helping your country cultivate talents. Your Highness can also regard me as an Ursus citizen."
The monk's words did not elicit any response from Joseph; his expression remained calm, even cold.
This steel patriarch stood high above, like a god, looking down upon the monks' performance.
But in his heart, Joseph was indeed somewhat tempted.
It wasn't that the monk was exceptionally eloquent, but rather that he himself harbored the intention of seizing even greater benefits.
The monk's appearance gave Joseph a pretext.
Thinking this, he was about to speak when his eyes suddenly twitched.
An unfamiliar radiance entered this land.
It was a radiance that shared the same origin as the holy light of the Orthodox Church, yet it was far greater, more majestic, and more benevolent than the light of the most devout believers, and it also carried a sense of profundity and unfamiliarity.
That was a radiance that even the Patriarch Joseph did not recognize.
Outside the tent, a priest entered at the opportune moment, bowed his head and said, "Holy See, a brother has arrived at the territory, but he is dressed in military uniform and claims to be carrying orders from the Master."
The term "brother" signifies that the other person is indeed someone who shares the same divine light.
But wearing a military uniform represents his stance.
In Ursus, such people all served under that saint, Mo.
Even if he was serving Catherine, Joseph should not feel like a stranger.
He may not know all the members of the orthodox sect, but he knows all the powerful ones very well.
After all, Ekaterina was Joseph's biggest rival.
Although Joseph never considered that girl a rival, "Let him wait."
Joseph said calmly, "Tell him that I am currently receiving an envoy from Dongxia."
"Yes." The priest acknowledged the order and withdrew.
The monk, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
Joseph's actions undoubtedly indicated a tendency to adopt his own suggestions.
The priest quickly relayed Joseph's words to his brothers who had come from afar.
Inside are envoys from Dongxia, so who am I?
Bathed in the light, Bai Ze, with his hand on a military knife, thought to himself, "Could it be that the God of War is trying to have his cake and eat it too, drawing two cakes at the same time?"
They informed Bai Ze through Vladimir, appointing him as an envoy.
They then appointed other envoys.
Since the God of War had a secret deal with Vladimir, he should know how much influence Bai has in Ursus.
In other words, it's very likely that what's inside is fake.
Bai Ze turned his gaze to the priest before him, smiled slightly, and said, "Coincidentally, the mentor's orders also coincide with those of Dongxia..."
...
"That's relevant. Perhaps I could also meet the envoy from Dongxia."
As he spoke, Bai Ze took a step forward, and was immediately met with a series of chilling mental energy locks.
As far as the eye could see, two lines formed, with the knights in front simultaneously drawing their swords and pointing their silver spears at Bai Ze.
The swordsmen of Ursus do not use pure firearms, but weapons that take the form of firearms and output their own power.
Therefore, even in the realm of mountains and seas, these sword-wielding knights are still fully equipped, and their silver spears seem to be telling others that times have changed.
"The Holy See has made you wait outside, so you cannot overstep it."
The priest who delivered the order also turned cold, and he gripped the holy book that was chained to his waist.
The metal-bound corners of the book indicate that this sacred text had more than one function: evangelism.
Ursus's fierce culture dictates that even civilian officials are formidable fighters. Those who serve as close associates to the Patriarch are even more formidable than ordinary priests.
A dazzling light shone on the priest as he picked up the holy book, ready to rebuke the transgressor on behalf of the Patriarch.
"Step back."
'
The word "Step back" did not come from the priest, but from Bai Ze.
An invisible force took control of the bodies of the priests and even the sword-wielding knights, causing them to involuntarily retreat to both sides.
"Holy Words? How could there be such powerful Holy Words?"
The priest looked incredulous.
It's not that the power of the Holy Word is insufficient; the Holy Word of the Iron Patriarch is capable of making mountains and rivers tremble and the earth collapse.
To the priest's disbelief, a martial artist at the Three Souls Realm appeared and commanded him to step down with a single word.
You should know that he is an eight-star.
Only Joseph, the Iron Patriarch, would do something like sending an eight-star messenger.
The priest certainly didn't think that he, an eight-star priest, could overpower the other party, but he absolutely couldn't be dismissed so easily.
But that's the truth, and no matter how much you don't believe it, it's useless.
With an expression of disbelief, the priest stepped back.
The two sword-wielding knights on either side knelt down on one knee to welcome Bai Ze's arrival.
Bai Ze, with his hand on his saber, walked straight between the two squads of sword-wielding knights, his feet treading on the platinum-gold ground.
His direct approach immediately drew a more intense response.
Vladimir's envoy was naturally someone to be taken seriously. Ostensibly, only the priest greeted him, but secretly countless spiritual forces were watching him closely.
As Bai Ze strode in, dazzling rays of light appeared simultaneously, converging before his eyes to form a world of light.
Within the radiance lies the will of the powerful, directly exerting pressure on Bai Ze's consciousness and soul.
Just as the will of the Ursus military can be compatible, the will rooted in orthodox faith can also be united into one.
"But there isn't a single demigod," Bai Ze said calmly.
Beneath the Iron Patriarch, there was not a single Heavenly Gate Warrior.
The warriors of Tianguan will not blindly follow anyone; even if they were to blindly follow someone, it would be to blindly follow Vladimir.
Moreover, the path of the Ursus Orthodox Church originates from faith.
Faith is like dividing porridge; if you have more porridge, others will naturally have less.
Joseph was already vying with Catherine for faith, so how could he possibly give it away to others?
Therefore, Joseph Mo has many experts, and even uses eight-star warriors as errand runners, but there is not a single Heavenly Gate warrior among them.
Since that's the case, Bai Ze walked straight into that world of light, his steel combat boots shattering the radiance.
Not a single Heavenly Gate Warrior could stop him.
With unhurried steps, he trampled the light underfoot, his advancing figure shattering the world woven from spiritual energy.
A few muffled groans came from the shadows, clearly indicating that the mental energy of those who were blocking the way had been damaged, causing them pain.
But as these obstructors were forced to retreat, the steel cross at the center began to radiate light.
The cold, silvery-gray luster transformed the world into a realm of steel.
The air was filled with a misty vapor, and the color of the evaporated metal and steel seeped in from all directions.
As a renowned expert from the Heavenly Gate, Joseph's supernatural abilities are naturally widely known.
Its name is "Iron Will," a supernatural power that uses an absolutely idealistic will to interfere with reality and even forcibly distort the laws of physics, making the world yield to it.
Judging from its appearance alone, it is quite similar to Bai Ze's ability to make his words come true, as well as the painter's supernatural powers, only it is not as omnipotent and miraculous as Bai Ze's ability to make his words come true.
Words become law; with enough power, one can directly change the rules.
"Iron Will" actually follows the path of sheer force and sheer power.
If one's will is strong enough, even the laws of physics can yield to it.
It can be said that it is a supernatural power very much in the style of Ursus.
The phrase "iron will" also reveals just how steadfast and unyielding this Iron Patriarch's will truly was.
"Your 'iron will' is the biggest reason why your mentor gave up on you," Bai Ze said calmly.
A cold snort came from the central tent.
The patriarch, who was as indifferent as a god, was completely broken by Bai Ze's words.
Space solidified and compressed inward, as if the surrounding world had transformed into a steel coffin, imprisoning Bai Ze inside and sealing him away.
Layer upon layer of silvery-gray solidified the air, covering Bai Ze's body.
Then, "Boom!"
'
Like a cosmic explosion, an invisible boundary spread out from Bai Ze at its center, with one large star after another appearing behind him.
The power of faith burns, transforming into energy, allowing a realm that is both real and illusory to manifest.
Hua Letian!
Bai Ze had taken Hua Letian away, but he reused him.
Although the Great Freedom has been lost as the source of power, and only the power of faith can be used as energy, the power of the Transcendental can only be used for a short time.
But for now, that's enough.
This is also the biggest reason why Bai Ze can roam freely in the Flame Desert and even cause trouble for the Steel Hand Legion.
Ten large stars pierced through the silvery-gray world, unfolding a magnificent scene like entering the universe behind Bai Ze.
The arrangement of the stars formed an enormous cross, piercing through the steel world.
"Magnificent cross."
"The simulated stars almost became real entities, and the gravitational forces of the celestial bodies interacted, tearing apart the will that interfered with reality."
Bai Ze strode forward and entered the camp in just a few steps.
The magnificent cross and the image of the silver-gray steel world vanished instantly, signifying the end of the confrontation.
After all, he was Vladimir's envoy, and even a hardliner like Joseph wouldn't dare to truly oppose the enemy of God.
Ursus's culture is different from that of Dongxia; anyone who dares to defy their divine enemy is truly courting death.
Moreover, Vladimir was not only an enemy of the gods, but also the founding father of the Ursus Federation, a mentor to countless warriors, a leader revered by many demigods, and a pioneer beloved by the people.
If names could become people, there would be so many that this tent wouldn't be able to hold them all.
Joseph does not accept Vladimir's arrangements, but he absolutely cannot be Vladimir's enemy.
Even if he is the patriarch of the Orthodox Church.
However, judging from the fear in Joseph's eyes, it was clear how unwilling he was to back down.
He thought that Catherine would be the biggest obstacle to his taking over the orthodox church, but he never expected that there was an even stronger orthodox church system expert above Catherine.
Ironically, this patriarch was completely unaware of its existence.
Vladimir, is this your plan to control me? You've actually cultivated someone specifically to target me all along.
Or is it that Ekaterina is just a decoy, and this is the person you actually chose?
Doubts swept through my mind like a storm.
Joseph slowly clenched his fist.
Why won't you accept me?
Bai Ze, on the other hand, scanned the area and took in the monk.
"This is the first time I've ever heard of a monk serving as an envoy. Even though I'm from Ursus, I know that in Dongxia, monks are considered recluses."
""
Bai Ze said calmly, "What is this? Bald monk diplomacy?"
