> Temple of the Holy City is the tallest and grandest building in the entire city. On the roof of the temple stands a minaret up to 100 meters high, the whole body is made of metal, and the surface is covered with fine and complex lines, which is extremely exquisite. If a grandmaster-level craftsman saw this minaret, he would be shocked, because the tower was beyond the current level of craftsmanship of the Norland humans. It's so big, it's so detailed, and when you put it together, it's a miracle. Perhaps there will be human craftsmen in Norland who can create metal components with this level of precision, but there are only a few craftsmen of this level, and it would take hundreds of years for everyone to work together to create such a huge tower.

The minaret is in the form of a tapering four-cornered spire, dark and dull, with the occasional glimmer of light flowing through the lines. Although there is still a considerable distance from the battlefield, if the powerhouses of the Sanctuary gather their eyesight, they can still see the existence of the minaret. However, from Aceris to Richard, they did not pay much attention to the minaret, but regarded it as a landmark in the Holy City. There are more than a dozen such buildings in the Holy City.

But now, as the three divine envoys continued to chant incantations, their power was constantly pouring into the round platform in front of them through the aura. In front of them, each rose a screen of light, on which flashed large expanses of information composed of mysterious words. The three oracles were oblivious to the information on the screen, as the text did not belong to any known system, and they could not read it discerningly.

The minaret was actually much higher than it seemed, and it had a considerable section running through the temple and into the underground halls. The end of the minaret resembles a complex machine, or the roots of a giant steel tree, branching out into countless long and short branches. Ten meters below it, there is a huge metal platform tens of meters high, the surface of which is also engraved with a large number of mysterious characters.

The underground of the temple is a very large and huge hall, nearly 100 meters high, with a radius of hundreds of meters. Such a magnificent space is actually all artificially built, and its architectural standards are so high that even the dwarves with the highest voltage stabilization. The four walls, the sky dome, and the floor of the temple are also covered with dense lines. As the three divine envoys continued to inject power, several lines in the underground hall began to light up, and the light continued to extend, and finally several continued to reach the body of the metal spire, while the others just scattered downward, winding all the way into the metal round platform in the center.

There was a low roar in the hall, which began to vibrate slightly, and there were several extremely dim red lights, so that people could faintly see the outline of the hall. The base of the spire at the top of the temple moved suddenly, then slowly rotated and sank, and the metal branches above continued to expand and undulate. The round table below rotated at the same time, and the lid opened in an ingenious spiral, revealing a dark red viscous liquid inside. The flickering red light reflected the bright and uncertain branches hanging above.

The base of the minaret finally submerged into the metal platform, and then eight metal grippers popped out of the edge of the platform, buckled to the root, and then locked.

At the top of the temple, the metal tower shook slightly, and the shell of the surface opened up like petals, like a long black spike tail flower. The spire of the tower bloomed like a flower center, and from within it rose a large black crystal supported by three slender metal arms, and then a little light began to shine in the depths of the crystal.

At this moment, in the temple, the three oracles were already sitting on the ground, all of them sweating profusely, and their faces were as pale as if they had just been seriously ill. But they didn't bother to pay any attention, just staring at the magical image on the round platform. It's just a phantom day by day, and his expression is even more nervous.

In the middle of the battlefield, Richard had just ordered the followers chasing the dragon star to return, leaving only Zong Hu and Crimson to continue to follow, looking for an opportunity to assassinate the dragon star. On him, the light of magic was constantly lit up, and quicksand and Nayou surrounded Richard, and one by one magic fell on him like raindrops. Richard didn't know what Long Xing had done to him, but he could clearly feel a strange power in his body. It was so clear that not only Richard, but also the followers next to him could feel it. But no one could tell its attributes, not even Quicksand, Nayu, and Lina. But no matter what kind of power this is, the power released by Long Xing will definitely not have any good intentions.

Therefore, Quicksand and Naiyu are both trying to exorcise this power, but one by one, the magic techniques have sunk into the sea, and they can't react at all. That force was still pulsating in Richard's body according to its own rhythm, let alone being expelled, not even weakened. So many magic spells have passed, but its pulsating rhythm has not been chaotic at all. And quicksand and Nayu have already used all the exorcism and purification magic techniques that can be used, and even the divine techniques related to buffs and healing have been tried one by one, but they can't affect that power.

Richard himself was the one who felt it most clearly, and that force was running in his body according to the established lines and rhythms, and was not disturbed or hindered by other forces in the slightest. Even Richard's true talent struggles to catch traces of it, and it is only when it passes through certain places that it catches a little incomplete number. But these numbers do not come from the power itself, but from the magic or bloodline energy of Richard himself, which is slightly affected by it. True Talent can now only track this mysterious power by recording and analyzing changes in Richard's own power.

Richard's heart suddenly moved slightly. This power does not seem to exist in this world, but operates in a different time and space, just locked to Richard in a way that he simply cannot understand. This speculation is ridiculous, but it fully explains the current situation. If that power simply exists in another world, then naturally it will not be expelled by the magic of quicksand and naiyu. It's just that such a mysterious power, how can it be driven by the Dragon Star, and what is its purpose?

As soon as Richard thought of this, his whole body suddenly seemed to be drenched in a stream of ice water, and he was almost frozen in an instant! He turned his head as fast as he could, and his eyes just caught the sudden light in the distant sky!

The black crystal on the temple tower has been completely lit, and the milky white light inside is viscous as if it is substantial, and it is flowing out of the crystal bit by bit, and then converging into a thick band of light, constantly extending forward, and the speed is slow and fast.

Richard, who was dozens of kilometers away, had almost all his hair standing on end in an instant! His eyes were so wide that even the corners of his eyes were cracked, but he didn't know it!

This is the call of death!

It's not that Richard hasn't encountered a life-and-death crisis before, but never once has it been so clear and magnificent. Richard only felt that at this moment he was like a death row prisoner hanging on the gallows, and he could feel that the noose was tightening little by little, and he could clearly experience the process of death coming.

After Richard, many of his followers also changed color, and they also sensed the horror of that light. As long as it is illuminated, it must be the annihilation of the soul. In an instant, all the followers were ready to dodge, but none of them made a move. They were all strong men with extremely rich combat experience now, all of them were calm and composed, and they all saw that the light still needed an accelerated process, and there was still some time before it was shot here, enough for them to dodge into the distance. So the followers were waiting for Richard's orders, and they were used to waiting for Richard's orders.

Richard felt danger more than anyone else, and therefore reacted faster than his followers. By the time his followers were alert, he had already moved a few meters to the left and right of his place, and then returned to his original position. However, no matter how he dodged, the shadow of death always hung over his head, and it never changed. From where he stood, the distant light was just a dazzling point of light. But the faint flicker of light could not escape Richard's eyes, and he noticed that the direction of the beam of light had been fine-tuned twice, always in his direction. The mysterious power that Long Xing had placed on him before began to stir, and emitted a clear heat, echoing with the beams of light in the distance.

In an instant, Richard understood that what the dragon star had descended on him was a power similar to a tracking mark, which could mark the direction of an unknown weapon that bombarded from afar. As long as this power cannot be expelled, then no matter how much you dodge, it is impossible to avoid the bombardment of that light.

If you can't dodge, you can only resist!

In an instant, dozens of ways flashed through Richard's mind that could give him a chance to live. He even had a flaw, and he glanced at the people around him and far away from the corner of his eye. What Richard saw were followers, knights in gear who were chasing down the remnants of the enemy or ready to go, Huran warriors from afar, and two strong men who were not followers, Asiris and Fasqi. And the light in the distance, the power almost does not deplete with the increase of distance, and when it hits Richard, the power will still be equivalent to the full force of the legendary powerhouse. No follower could block such a blow alone, not even Asiris. And that light was not just a blast of energy, and Richard had already sniffed out an indescribable smell of danger from it.

The pillar of light was accelerating, and it was actually faster than the legendary powerhouse's flight, and its speed was increasing. It only gave Richard a little time, which was for thinking, not dodging. Because Richard has a tracking mark, he can't avoid its attack at all!
