Chapter 742: Chapter 732: Sky-Holding Cicada

"Won?"

Wen Wen, standing behind the Barrier Master, shamelessly poked his head out and asked.

The Barrier Master shook his head and said, "Sort of won, but not quite."

"The True Order Monster created by that mysterious entity was indeed killed by me, but the fundamental source that created the True Order escaped."

"I never harbored the hope to stop it, after all, it belonged to a Catastrophe Level Strength, and it was merely returning to its origin."

"However, even if the opponent can create another True Order, it would require some time and sufficient materials..."

"Materials..."

Wen Wen let go of the Barrier Master’s sleeve, ran to the blurred mass, and began poking it with a stick.

"Ordinary cicada monsters are made from plants, building materials, soil, metals, and various other garbage, but this True Order Rank cicada monster..."

"It must be an Upper Sequence strength Angel!"

"Considering the freshness of the blood, it must have been alive recently!"

The name Blue Cicada Holy Envoy was something Wen Wen heard at the Dragon Pond Villa, so he didn’t explicitly mention it here to the Barrier Master.

The Barrier Master nodded and said, "Maybe it’s not just an Angel, and not just Upper Sequence strength. I’ll notify Glory Church and the internal Association that superpower users above the Middle Sequence should be extra vigilant and adopt special response measures if necessary."

Wen Wen shrugged, the so-called special response measures were essentially to warn everyone to commit suicide promptly if captured.

It just didn’t sound pleasant outright.

Then the Barrier Master looked at Wen Wen, "But speaking of which, why was this monster chasing you?"

Wen Wen’s expression remained unchanged; he had already thought of an excuse to use.

"This might start from a monk who liked creating trouble for others..."

...

On the east side of Liaozhou City, by the sea, there was a small deserted island.

Oh, it wasn’t deserted anymore, it was just a larger rock now.

The intense battle of True Order Level had caused this unknown little island to disappear forever from the map.

Wu Liugen was chanting Buddhist prayers while using a scalpel to remove the source of trouble from the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy that was chasing him.

The Blue Cicada Holy Envoy, excited to rise and thank him, was promptly decapitated by Wu Liugen, who also pierced his heart.

A certain period of convalescence was needed after removing the source of trouble, otherwise, there might be difficulties urinating in the future.

Not a crease was on Wu Liugen’s clothes, making it clear that he hadn’t suffered any injuries during the fight.

However, he was not particularly proud, as he anticipated this outcome.

He was the hope for revival in Buddhism. If he could not handle a degraded True Order, what chance would he stand against Glory Church?

But Wu Liugen also understood that the attack on him was aimed at the Power of Faith of Buddhism within him.

Thus, the existence of the God Defiler was not just a threat to Glory Church, but also to a declining religious sect like Buddhism.

Even for certain secret organizations that worshipped the Evil God, it was an enemy of faith.

If Glory Church was defeated by the God Defiler, other minor religions would have no means to withstand this colossal threat, which led Wu Liugen to resolve to wait until this incident was resolved before leaving this place.

The Blue Cicada Holy Envoy, after a period of rest, grew even weaker.

So Wu Liugen simply made a generous decision, he kicked its head off, creating a particularly brutal scene.

After the head flew off, the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy completely lost its breath, and a blue light burst out from its body, which disappeared after not flying very far.

Wu Liugen dusted off his clothes, preparing to leave the place and check on Wen Wen’s situation back in Liaozhou City.

He had assumed that both Blue Cicada Holy Envoys would chase him, which could somewhat count as a battle, but he didn’t expect only one to follow him—seems like Wen Wen has no less secrets than he does.

Just as he took a few steps, a cold sweat broke out on Wu Liugen’s back.

"No... I seem to have overlooked something."

"The power inside the cicada monster comes from the ’God Defiler’, so it’s natural for the power to return to its source upon death."

"But why did that power disappear after flying less than a hundred meters?"

"Unless..."

Suddenly, Wu Liugen looked towards the direction where the blue energy had disappeared, and his eyes burst with a golden light.

He could control other people’s five senses, so naturally, he could also enhance one of his own senses to the extreme. Pushing one sense to its limit could reveal an unbelievable ability, able to see through all false appearances.

The old monks in Buddhism called this ability that Wu Liugen possessed... Heavenly Vision!

With the Heavenly Eye opened, the world in Wu Liugen’s eyes was dramatically different. The clouds appeared a terrible green, while the sky was dark and gloomy.

In that eerie sky, there was a colossal, shocking creature that touched the heavens!

In the waters, a giant wooden Cross, at least three hundred meters tall, stood proudly. The wood showed no signs of joints, making one wonder what kind of gigantic tree could be used to make such an immense cross.

On that giant cross, there was a blue cicada a hundred meters tall.

The cicada had a metallic blue luster all over its body, while its wings were colorful and splendid. The gigantic wings were nailed to the both ends of the Cross with iron nails over fifty meters long, and five similar iron nails pierced into the body of the cicada in sequence.

Wu Liugen muttered under his breath, "Is this the main culprit behind those cicadas, the God Defiler?"

As he laid eyes on the massive cicada, the cicada’s eyes also turned towards him, and an onslaught of complex information instantly flooded into Wu Liugen’s brain.

"This is bad; I shouldn’t have looked."

Acting swiftly, Wu Liugen grabbed a handful of Bodhi Seeds and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing them whole.

Um...the kind Wen Wen cherished as treasures.

Then he began chanting Buddhist scriptures loudly. Golden scriptures swirled around him as he retreated step by step.

...

Under the guidance of the Barrier Master, Wen Wen returned to his previous suite.

Tao Qingqing and the other two pets, upon seeing Wen Wen return unhurt, breathed a sigh of relief.

What comforted Wen Wen was that the Barrier Master had decided to temporarily stay at this hotel.

After the incident of the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy’s attempt on Wen Wen’s life, the Barrier Master realized the gravity of the situation and the fact that the root of the matter was indeed in Liaozhou City.

Thus, not only was he staying temporarily, but he also arranged to redirect a significant part of the Association’s forces scattered throughout Menxia Province to Liaozhou City, greatly enhancing Wen Wen’s safety.

Later, Wen Wen made some compensations to the hotel manager, and erased the memories of all relevant personnel.

However, Wen Wen was somewhat worried because he had been waiting until evening, but Wu Liugen had not returned.

Based on Wen Wen’s estimation, the strength Wu Liugen concealed should be astonishing. He should not have any trouble dealing with that degraded version of True Order.

"Um... that thief of a monk cannot be judged by common sense; maybe after severing the root of trouble from the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy, he went to console some troubled ladies."
