230: Chapter 230 A Powerful Attack on the Divine Kingdom, Seizing the Holy Flame of Light

[Heavenly Court - First Generation] 47 hours after returning from the Abyss Star Field.

Su Qingyue walked out of the medical pod.

On her left shoulder, the deep, bone-visible claw mark had healed, leaving only three faint pink lines. It was the result of the latest medical technology from the Seventh Fleet of the Eternal Star Domain—nanoscale cellular regeneration, capable of repairing any non-fatal injury within 24 hours.

[Su Qingyue · Current Status]

[HP: 37% → 100%]

[Divine Power: 0% → 100%]

[Left Shoulder: Healing Complete]

[Combat Power Assessment: 340,000-380,000 (Fully Recovered)]

She walked to the command cabin.

Stood beside Lin Ye.

3 seconds.

She held his hand.

This time, it was 17 seconds.

After letting go, she said.

"Three left," she said.

"karma thread."

"reincarnation stone."

"Seed of the Holy Light Flame."

Lin Ye nodded.

He looked at the three light points on the holographic star map.

Darkness Church Headquarters.

Kingdom of the Undead · Underworld God Temple.

God Race · Holy Light God Kingdom.

Qin Ruoxue's voice came from the communication console.

"Boss."

"Latest intel."

"The location of the Seed of the Holy Light Flame has been confirmed."

She projected the data onto the central star map.

[Seed of the Holy Light Flame · God Race Supreme Holy Relic]

[Location: Holy Light God Kingdom · Sun Temple · 9th Floor]

[Guardian: God Race High Priest · Clemens (Rank 85)]

[4. Holy Light Statue · Guarding the core (Rank 86 projection)]

Lin Ye looked at that line "Rank 85".

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was the same as when he faced the Thunder God.

Very faint.

Very cold.

Carrying a trace of... killing intent.

"Rank 85," he said.

"5 Ranks higher than me."

Shi Potian raised his left fist to his chest.

"I'll go with you," he said.

Lin Ye shook his head.

"Not this time," he said.

"The God Race's Holy Light God Kingdom has a natural suppression against the Tyrant Body."

"If you go, your combat power will be cut by at least 30%."

Shi Potian didn't speak.

But he clenched his left fist.

Su Qingyue looked at him.

"I'll go with you," she said.

Lin Ye looked at her.

"You just recovered," he said.

Su Qingyue didn't speak.

But she held his hand.

Lin Ye was silent.

3 seconds.

He nodded.

73rd minute.

[Heavenly Court - First Generation] entered the outskirts of the God Spirit Star Field.

On the holographic star map, a pure white star was rotating slowly.

[Holy Light God Kingdom · 1st Main Star of the God Spirit Star Field]

[3. Holy Light Divine Array: Covers the entire star, any evil faction entering will trigger purification]

[4. Sun God Eye: Saint-Grade Divine Eye × 7, can scan any life fluctuation within a 1,000 km radius]

Lin Ye looked at the pure white star.

3 seconds.

He spoke.

"All-Race Council," he said.

"You can launch the feint attack now."

Qin Ruoxue nodded.

On the holographic star map, 17 red light points lit up simultaneously.

The All-Race Council's feint attack had begun.

[System Notification: God Race main force has been tied down]

[Internal defenses of the Holy Light God Kingdom weakened]

[Surprise attack window opened: 3 hours]

Lin Ye turned around.

Looked at Su Qingyue.

"Let's go," he said.

101st minute.

The two stood at the entrance to the 9th floor of the Holy Light God Kingdom.

[Sun Temple · 9th Floor]

[Gravity: 3.7 G]

[Light-element energy concentration: God Spirit Star Field standard × 3,000%]

[Chaos Dragon Scales · 80% reduction]

[Actual damage: 3,400 points]

[HP: 100% → 96.6% → 93.2% → 89.8%]

He didn't care.

He walked forward.

103rd minute.

They stood in the core area of the Sun Temple.

There, a mass of pure white flames with a diameter of 17 meters was burning.

[Seed of the Holy Light Flame]

[Type: Saint-Grade Core Material]

[Description: God Race Supreme Holy Relic, contains the Origin power of the Law of Light. One seed condenses every 100,000 years, can be used to refine "Saint-Grade Light Pills" or as a core material for "Undergoing Tribulation Arrays".]

[Guardian: God Race High Priest · Clemens (Rank 85)]

Clemens stood in front of the flames.

He was 2.3 meters tall, wearing a pure white robe, holding a golden scepter. Behind him, three pairs of pure white light wings were spread out, with fine holy patterns flickering on each wing.

He turned around.

Looked at Lin Ye and Su Qingyue.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was very gentle, very elegant, like sunlight itself.

"Rank 80," he said.

"Chaos Dragon Body."

"Rank 79."

"Vast Cold Spirit Body."

Lin Ye didn't speak.

"The All-Race Council's feint attack," Clemens continued.

"Very clever."

"But did you think you could fool me with this?"

Lin Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

"I knew you would come," Clemens said.

"The Seed of the Holy Light Flame is bait."

"It was used to fish for you—Night Emperor."

1st second.

He raised his scepter.

[Holy Light Divine Domain · Deployed]

Pure white light instantly engulfed the entire space.

He didn't move.

He just looked at Clemens.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was very faint.

Very cold.

"Bait," he said.

"Perfect."

2nd second.

He moved.

[Nine Strikes of Chaos · First Strike · Breaking Delusion]

Gray sword light pierced toward Clemens.

Clemens didn't dodge.

His Holy Light Body, immune to all non-light damage?

No.

Breaking Delusion ignores immunity.

[Hit]

[Damage dealt: 47,000 × 300% = 141,000 points]

9 swords.

27% HP.

Clemens stood in place.

On his robe, there were 9 sword marks.

Every sword mark was emitting gray mist.

That was Chaos Power eroding his Light Saint Body.

He looked at Lin Ye.

3 seconds.

His smile disappeared.

"9 swords," he said.

"27%."

Lin Ye did not speak.

5th second.

Clemens raised his scepter.

[Light Judgment]

A pure white beam of light 1.7 meters in diameter descended from the sky.

Target — Lin Ye.

Lin Ye did not dodge.

He raised his left hand.

[Nine Strikes of Chaos · Fourth Strike · Heaven Devouring]

A gray vortex formed above his head.

The light beam crashed into the vortex.

[Absorption: 500% × 47,000 = 235,000 points]

[Conversion: 117,500 points of Divine Power]

[Lin Ye Divine Power: 70% → 87%]

Clemens's pupils contracted violently.

He summoned angels.

3 Level 84 Angel Projections walked out.

[Angel Projection × 3]

[Level: 84]

[HP: 370,000 × 3]

[Traits: Light Immunity, Physical Resistance + 50%]

Lin Ye looked at the 3 angels.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

"Qingyue," he said.

Su Qingyue nodded.

[Vast Cold Immortal Domain · Expand]

Icy blue light instantly engulfed the 3 angels.

[Vast Cold Immortal Domain · Effect]

[Damage per second: 30,000 points]

[Movement Speed - 90%]

The movements of the 3 angels instantly slowed by 90%.

Completely wiped out.

Clemens stood in place.

His expression changed for the first time.

7.3 seconds.

Lin Ye stood before him.

The sword tip pointed at his throat.

Clemens looked at him.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was the same as when the battle began.

Very gentle.

Very elegant.

But this time, it carried a hint of... relief.

"You won," he said.

Lin Ye did not speak.

"But you know," Clemens continued.

"Even if you kill me, you won't get the fire seed."

Lin Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

"The fire seed," Clemens said.

"Is guarded by the Light Statue."

"Only those recognized by the statue can touch it."

7.7 seconds.

The Level 86 Light Statue behind him opened its eyes.

[4. Every 10 seconds launches a "Divine Might" screen-wide attack, dealing 170,000 points of damage]

Lin Ye looked at the statue.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

That smile was crazier than when he faced any other enemy.

"Level 86," he said.

"Physical Immunity."

"Light Immunity."

"Chaos damage will even heal it."

He paused.

"Then — don't use Chaos."

8th second.

He put away his sword.

He walked towards the statue with bare hands.

Clemens was stunned.

"Are you crazy?" he said.

"Without using Chaos, what will you fight with?"

Lin Ye did not answer.

He just raised his right hand.

[True Dragon Legacy · Body Tempering Chapter · Dragon Fist]

On his right fist, a layer of crimson dragon scale phantom condensed.

That was pure physical strength.

Without any Law augmentation.

Without any Chaos attributes.

Only — power.

8.3 seconds.

One punch smashed into the statue's chest.

[Damage dealt: 47,000 points (pure physical)]

[Statue HP: 770,000 → 723,000]

[Kill · Level 86 Light Statue]

[Time taken: 9 seconds]

[Punch count: 27 punches]

[Lin Ye HP: 70% → 31% (tanking statue counterattacks)]

The statue fell.

It turned into countless light spots.

After the light spots dissipated, a pure white flame remained in place.

[Light Holy Flame Seed]

Lin Ye reached out.

Grabbed it.

[System Prompt: You obtained "Light Holy Flame Seed" × 1]

[Material Progress: 5/9 → 6/9]

But the moment the flame was in his hand, a golden light surged from the fire seed.

It sank into his chest.

Lin Ye looked down.

Looked at his own chest.

There, an extra pure white, burning flame pattern appeared.

[Light Curse · Mark]

He smiled.

That smile was very faint.

Very cold.

"Permanent mark," he said.

"Just right to let them come find me."

He turned around.

Looked at Su Qingyue.

"Let's go," he said.

17th minute.

The two rushed out of the Light Divine Kingdom.

Behind them, pursuers had already been dispatched.

31st minute.

[Heavenly Court - First Generation] extraction point.

Lin Ye stood at the cabin door.

Watching the approaching pursuers.

17 Saint-Grade.

He smiled.

"Let them chase," he said.

"We'll talk when the Materials are complete."

[System Prompt: Remaining Materials]
