Chapter 366: Holy Light
"That's right, we still have the stone coffin and the holy item!"
"Hurry and open the stone coffin!"
"Quick!"
Hearing Ren Yaoyao's words, everyone quickly came to their senses.
A few stronger men immediately came up and pushed it, trying to open it up.
However, things were not as easy as they expected.
The stone coffin was extremely heavy, and pushing it outside the museum had already used up much of their strength.
Now, they found that trying to open up this stone coffin was extremely difficult.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not open this stone coffin.
If it was not the fact that there were cracks in this stone coffin, signs that it had been opened before, they would have thought that this stone coffin was impossible to open.
"Quick, put more effort into it!"
As the terrifying curse approached, the light from the stone coffin became weaker and weaker.
It seemed that many people would soon die.
Facing this, many people shouted impatiently, wishing that the coffin would be opened soon.
Sensing the urgency in the surroundings, the men around the coffin tried even harder, causing their muscles to bulge.
In the end, under their efforts, there seemed to be some changes in the coffin as the top seemed to move a bit.
"It moved, it moved!" Seeing this, everyone felt delighted and urged the men on.
In the distance, the terrifying curse began to attack.
Massive amounts of curse energy condensed into black fog, which turned into a massive black arm that slammed towards them.
Under this strike, the pure light seemed to waver, as if it was collapse at any moment.
"Move!!" Sensing this, many people roared and used the rest of their strength.
As if it sensed the danger they were in, as well as their wills, the top of the stone coffin moved a bit more.
Instantly, everything seemed to go quiet.
Ahead, light burst out, covering the land and looking incredibly resplendent.
The light stopped shrinking back and stabilised itself, not allowing the black curse energy to continue to take lives.
In the air, as the holy light blossomed, the massive arm condensed from curse energy was scattered.
Everything became calm again.
Sensing this ,everyone became excited.
"It's working! Keep going!"
They felt as if a massive stone had been lifted from their hearts.
However, just this was not enough.
The terrifying curse in the distance had not left, and was still approaching.
Just this amount of light was not enough to banish it.
Thinking to there, the men deeply breathed in and began to push again.
They desperately pushed, trying to open the top of the coffin, to reveal the holy item within.
As they did so, the light began brighter and brighter, and the range it covered increased.
As Ren Yaoyao and the others watched on, as the coffin was opened up, the holy light continued to spread out, soon covering the entire school in the distance.
Any curse energy or curses that were covered by the light were purified and destroyed.
Pained howls sounded out.
Ren Yaoyao and the others looked over and saw many figures in the black fog being set alight by pure golden flames.
Seeing this, they let out a sigh of relief.
"Roar!!" In the distance, that mountain-like figure was still approaching; it looked like it had been enraged by this light, and madly approached.
It was incredibly powerful, and caused its surroundings to shake.
The sky was covered bya black curtain, and terrifying scenes appeared, causing people to feel terrified.
Seeing those scenes, no one could remain calm, and all felt great apprehension.
Undoubtedly, this was like a natural disaster, and no one could resist it, not even the legendary Curse Bearers.
Everyone's hearts trembled as they looked towards the stone coffin.
At this moment, many people directly knelt down and began to pray.
"Almighty Holy Mother, benevolent Holy Son… Please send your power and save your faithful servants…"
Prayers continuously sounded out, making this place sound like an enormous church.
The Holy Mother faith had already been deeply-rooted in this world, and today, the Holy Mother and Holy Son were worshipped by countless people.
At this moment, everyone earnestly prayed to this holy item that the Holy Son had left behind, hoping that the Holy Son would send his power to destroy the evil.
As they prayed, in a place where no one could see, golden faith threads descended from the sky and landed on a certain existence's body.
Massive amounts of faith energy condensed, seeming to call out to that existence.
Boom!
Ren Yaoyao and the others were shocked to find that the stone coffin in front of them began to move. The top lifted off by itself, as if it was affected by a strange energy.
In that moment, light blasted out, causing the surroundings to quieten down.
Within the stone coffin, there was not the holy item they were expecting, but a young man's figure.
He was about 15 or 16 years old, and wore a pure, white robe.
His appearance was exquisitely handsome and perfect, and had an irresistible charm to him.
"Who… is this?" Seeing this young man, everyone felt stunned.
Many people began to think of his identity.
To have such an effect, his identity definitely was not ordinary.
In fact, it was very likely that…
As they thought to themselves, they felt quite apprehensive, not knowing what to say.
However, before anyone could say anything, changes once again happened within the stone coffin.
Light and darkness collided as holy energy and curse energy clashed against each other, resulting in great chaos.
Within the chaos, a pair of golden eyes slowly opened.
Boom!
Light once again appeared brilliantly; not only was it no longer suppressed, it surged forwards, devouring the darkness and protecting this area.
Within those holy eyes, a holy, inviolable intent appeared.
"Roarr!" Ahead, sensing this terrifying power, the mountain-like curse gave a furious roar.
This roar spread out in all directions, shattering many tall buildings in the distance.
In this moment, its body continuously retreated as it seemed fearful.
"A curse near the Origin level?" A calm voice sounded out.
Hearing this voice, everyone instinctively looked into the air.
There, a figure had appeared.
His figure was tall and straight, and was dressed in white robes.
It was the figure that had been lying in the stone coffin.
Light appeared behind him, condensing into a terrifying angel's image.
That image was incredibly big, and even thoughn it was made of divine energy, every inch of its skin and feathers were incredibly clear.
Only its face was a bit hazy, and seemed to be continuously changing.
Incredible might appeared.
In the air, the young man's expression was calm, and he only lightly sighed before waving his hand.
A massive sword of light appeared in the angel's hand, which directly slashed down.
Light exploded in the surroundings, and as Ren Yaoyao and the others watched on, the savage monster's body froze before it's head slowly fell to the ground.
As its blood dripped to the ground, it stained many places, causing those places to become demonic ground.
However, this was just a shrot moment.
Following this, massive amounts of divine energy flooded out, baptising this area.
Under the effects of the divine energy, the curse energy in the ground disappeared, causing it to return to its original state.
After being affected by Chen Heng's divine energy, the effects would last for at least a few millennia.
Within this holy land, not only would curse energy not be able to exist, even other energies different to divine energy would be suppressed.
Ahead, after losing its head, the curse finally fell, and all of its energy was absorbed by Chen Heng.
"Even though it can't compare to that Origin Curse from before, it's still not bad."
Standing in the air and sensing those changes, Chen Heng thought to himself.
After waking up and killing that curse with a single strike, he turned and looked at the land.
In the distance, there was still black fog covering the land, covering the entire city.
"So it's like that…" Seeing this, Chen Heng's expression was calm, "It's being assimilated into the Cursed Land…"
This city was going through the same thing as the Changyuan City in the past.
A large Cursed Land had fused into this city, and was turning this city into a Cursed Land.
If there was no external influence, all living creatures in this city would die.
Of course, this city's life or death had nothing to do with Chen Heng, but most of the people in here were his folloewrs.
Standing in the air, Chen Heng could sense many people praying to him to protect them.
Chen Heng could tell that within this city, his followers made up nearly half of the people here.
Since that was the case, this city was connected to him.
After all, in terms of faith, the followers in this city were his assets.
Since they were his assets, he would have to protec them.
"Looks like my clone has done well while I was asleep," Chen Heng thought to himself.
In the past, he did not have this much faith in this world, but he had woken up with a lot—this was due to he Holy Son clone.
It seemed that while Chen Heng had been asleep, the Holy Son clone had drawn many followers, causing him to obtain much faith energy.
"Let's give it a try then…" Chen Heng thought as he silently raised a hand.
As he raised his hand, massive amounts of divine energy apepareed in his body.
A magic skill framework appeared and fused with the divine energy, causing light to spread out.
"That… That is…" Behind him, everyone looked into the air, expressions of shock on their faces.
They could see a golden sun suddenly appear in the air.
Compared to the real sun, this golden sun was not too striking, and it could be looked at without any pain.
However, there was massive energy within this golden sun, and its light covered the entire city.
The moment it appeared, let alone this city, even the neighbouring cities could see it.
Under this light, the entire city's curse energy was dissipated.
Following this, the golden sun did not disappear, and continued to hang in the air.
Chen Heng once again waved his hand.
Immediately, the golden sun began to fall towards a certain place.
"Is the sun falling?" Everyone in the city felt quite fearful, but they soon understood.
As they looked over, they saw a dark Cursed Land appear in the distance.
Compared to the Cursed Land that Chen Heng had seen in the past, this Cursed Land was much smaller.
However, its power was not weak at all, and if it broek out, it could easily devour an entire city.
At this moment, the golden sun was landing towards it.
With a boom, cracks began to appear within the Cursed Land.
