277: The Temple of the Holy Nativity was suddenly attacked by the enemy!

Current accumulated Collapse Value: 1080!

After Lin Sheng spent 1000 Collapse Value to raise his cultivation from Thirty-second Realm Tenth Stage to Thirty-third Realm Tenth Stage.

He casually gave a wave of small blessings to the players who came to congratulate him.

This drew continuous praise from the players.

"Lord Lin Sheng is truly amazing."

"Yeah, he can be considered the first helpful NPC on our players' growth path."

"We must repay him after we become stronger."

"......"

Strictly speaking, giving blessings didn't provide Lin Sheng with any actual benefits.

In the future, when players discovered his boss identity, they would still go all out against him.

However...

Lin Sheng didn't care about these trivial matters. He lived by whim now; if he didn't want to give blessings one day, he wouldn't. It was that simple.

Inside Saint Descent Hall, the players were still lively and bustling.

Some chatted, some traded, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity.

But changes often occurred amidst peace!

Crack!

A lightning-like roar suddenly came from the sky!

Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see the dome suddenly crack open with dark fissures, and nine azure lightning pillars violently struck down!

"Holy crap! Why is the sky cracking open?"

"I don't know!"

"Why does this feel like an enemy attack?"

As the nine azure lightning bolts struck down, a large number of players instinctively scurried away, holding their heads.

"What are you panicking about!"

The burly player with the ID "Blood Drink" swung his greatsword, "This is Saint Descent Hall! Not only is Lord Lin Sheng here, but it's also our resurrection point! What are you scared of!!"

At this moment.

Lin Sheng had already flashed to the highest point of the jade steps in front of the hall, his white robe shimmering with starlight.

"Enemy attack?"

A strong sense of confusion arose in his mind.

He turned his head and exchanged glances with Lin Moxuan, Hong Tianji, and others who were equally shocked, all sensing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

This was Saint Descent Hall, personally built by Myriad Immortal Empress, existing independently outside of heaven!

Who would have the courage to invade it!?

The lightning pillars pressed down, causing the entire Saint Descent Hall to tremble violently with a "rumbling" sound.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng's eyebrows twitched.

In an instant!

His Thirty-third Realm pressure solidified, forcefully suppressing the trembling of the entire hall and square!

"Wow! The square isn't shaking anymore!"

"Lord Lin Sheng made a move! Is this an NPC battle!?"

While the players discussed in panic.

They saw the nine lightning pillars transform into nine figures in azure robes! They broke through the air, each wearing a tiger-head mask on their face.

As soon as the leader appeared, he raised his hand, brought a bronze bone flute that appeared out of thin air to his lips, and blew a sharp, piercing flute sound.

It was as if countless wronged souls were wailing around everyone, making their souls feel like they were about to shatter.

At the same time.

The sound waves visibly transformed into a huge, greenish-blue venomous dragon carrying a thick aura of decay, which directly and straightforwardly charged towards Lin Sheng!

Hmm!?

Attacked immediately upon appearing!

And coming straight for me!?

Lin Sheng's brow twitched slightly. Although he was confused, he still raised his hand and lightly tapped the void. In an instant!

All sounds ceased!

The venomous dragon formed by sound waves was frozen two meters away from him, like a greenish dragon sculpture encased in ice.

"Heh."

"A bunch of cowards hiding their faces."

He flicked his finger, and stardust erupted from his fingertip.

The sound wave venomous dragon disintegrated inch by inch, turning into stardust that swirled back.

The protective aura around the nine azure-robed figures shattered like thin paper, and black blood spurted from the seven orifices beneath their masks simultaneously.

"Holy crap! Black blood!?"

"What is that thing?!"

The players' exclamations and discussions suddenly caught in their throats.

They saw those killer-like invaders twisting in the starlight.

After their azure robes burned away, what was revealed was a scaled body, clearly some kind of humanoid fierce beast.

Lin Sheng, however, had already turned to look at the sea of clouds outside the hall, his tone as indifferent as usual: "Since you're here to die, dying sooner or later is still dying. What are you dawdling up there for?"

The clouds suddenly surged like boiling water, and seventy-two azure chains struck through the air!

Each chain was adorned with a skull artifact at the end, and cages formed by pale white finger bones enveloped the entire Saint Descent Hall.

A galaxy rotated in Lin Sheng's eyes. He lifted his foot and shattered the jade steps—the entire hall suddenly inverted, the sea of clouds beneath his feet turning into a mirror, and the chains seemed to have pierced through to the bottom of the hall.

"Is that all?"

He pointed his fingers like a sword and sliced through the void, and a river of stars descended from the broken clouds.

A giant sword formed of starlight pierced through heaven and earth, severing all seventy-two chains. The remaining sword qi continued its momentum, splitting open the blue sky in the distance!

Boom!!

The muffled roar in the distance was astonishing.

Before the players could breathe a sigh of relief.

A sudden change occurred!

An azure-robed figure wearing a ghost-face mask appeared out of thin air behind Lin Moxuan, pressing a withered, claw-like hand onto her crown. The girl's magic power poured out like a burst dam, frantically flowing into the ghost-faced figure's body.

"Master, be careful!"

She barely managed to shout this sentence before collapsing to the ground, the tips of her hair visibly turning frosty white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Sheng's pupils constricted slightly, and he immediately activated his detection skill!

[Name]: Wuwang

[Realm]: Forty-fifth Realm Tenth Stage

[Personal Profile]: Ghost-level leader of the Celestial God Path, sent to kill the Celestial Descendants and test the true strength of Saint Descent Hall's Master, Lin Sheng. Skilled at absorbing others' magic power for his own use.

The ghost-faced leader's entire body exuded a strong aura of decay and decline.

It was as if he had absorbed the magic power of many corpses, making it nauseating.

"Hmph!"

Lin Sheng lightly snorted, forcefully interrupting the opponent's spell!

The opponent was quick to flash away, dissolving into mist, and quickly re-condensing elsewhere.

"No wonder the Empress specifically designated you as the Master of Saint Descent Hall. You do have some strength."

"Although I can't discern your realm, being able to defeat my avatar so easily suggests your magic power is not below mine."

The ghost-faced leader's voice was hoarse.

He extended his hand towards Lin Sheng, his azure robe billowing without wind behind him.

"Are you interested in joining our Celestial God Path?"

"Celestial God Path?"

Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow.

He raised his hand and flicked a pure white spiritual light towards Lin Moxuan, instantly restoring her to normal.

This technique made the ghost-faced leader clap his hands.

"Impressive."

"Besides the group of perverts in Man Xian Heaven, I've never seen anyone else who could so easily break my 'Reverse Law Curse'."

It sounded like genuine praise.

Lin Sheng smiled upon hearing this: "That's because you haven't seen the world."

The leader was right in front of him, but he wasn't in a hurry to kill him, instead asking: "What is the Celestial God Path?"

"An organization dedicated to acting on behalf of heaven, eliminating the Celestial Descendants."

"Acting on behalf of heaven?"

Lin Sheng chuckled twice, then asked: "The Celestial Descendants have just arrived, they are weak and harmless, they haven't eaten your rice, nor have they provoked you, why do you want to deal with them?"

The leader tilted his head back, his five fingers reaching towards the sky in a grasping motion, his tone chilling: "The Dao Master said that the Celestial Descendants are sinful, so they... should be eliminated."

With that, he suddenly spread his arms wide!
