The remaining five devices had all been set and activated at the last energy node .
No more interference from the elites of Baine University . Once activated, the ritual would suck the life out of all non-believers who were within a several-hundred-kilometer radius .
This huge number of lives would be the fuel to summon the Divinity’s Advent . This was the plan .
What about attacking Baine University, though?
Without the combined attack of multiple Six-wingers, it would be difficult to defeat the university’s SET system .
The Sevenlocks Tower had made the ordinary humans around them their target from the beginning . They did this because these humans were the best ingredient for the blood sacrifice .
Just as he struggled to set off the device, a black-and-gray spike jutted out from his chest .
“Who is it?”
Before the man could turn to look at the attacker, the spike tore open his chest and his skull . His ribs, spine, and internal organs were exposed and blood was all over the ground . Even his blood-stained fat collapsed around like bags of water .
Whalerudder and Blacklion emerged from behind with Blacklion retracting his spike . He then shook off the blood on the weapon . As they looked at the large soul vessel on the device, Blacklion said, “Do it! Bluetail will lose . We have to go now!”
Whalerudder nodded . She squatted down and took out an object wrapped in black fabric from the belt pack on her back . It was an imitation copy of the great soul vessel .
When no one was looking, she swapped the large soul vessel on the device with the imitation in just the blink of an eye . As she pressed her hand on the button, the fake soul vessel emitted waves of soul power, just like the original .
“Let’s go! This fake stuff could only last for five minutes!” Whalerudder warned . They did not bother looking at the others .
The great soul vessel contained a huge amount of soul power . It did not matter who, as long as there were sufficient oblations, anyone could perform the Divinity’s Advent ritual .
The great soul vessel, a paragon of its kind, was not even common in the Sevenlocks Tower . Right from the start, the cooperation between a cult like the Sect of Thousand Graces and the Sevenlocks Tower was only a marriage of convenience .
Now that when interests were at stake, they could just blame it all on the elites of Baine University . Fishing in troubled waters and then running away with the paragon was expected .
The two glanced at Bluetail and Lin Sheng, who were still fighting each other to death in the distance before Blacklion put the great soul vessel into a large black metal box . As soon as the great soul vessel was inside the box, it would lose all signs of its soul power . The box insulated its energy wave and made it look like an ordinary artificial crystal .

“What is that aggressive white power there?” Whalerudder knitted her brows as she saw Lin Sheng shooting ray after ray of holy light .
“It’s the power from the sanctum,” said Blacklion, his voice unexcited . “I have seen it in the intel department; it’s a group who calls themselves the Sanctum in Xylond . They’re dab hands at using pure and aggressive purification power . ”
“The Sanctum?” Whalerudder shook her head and never gave it a second thought . Whoever dared to challenge the cadre of the Sevenlocks Tower must be a kick-ass dark horse . Not to mention it was a battle small fries like them could never interfere with .
“Let’s go!” They took off with the large soul vessel .
A few people, except a dozen of them, were still fighting on the grassland . Most people had fallen back into the university’s defense system . No one would stop them, not the cults, the professors, or the students .
However, the SET defense system did not block everyone out . At least, students could still get in, provided their names were on the university’s register . Otherwise, they would be on their own outside .
Whalerudder and Blacklion moved to pull the unconscious Madsheep out of the lake, made their way across the battlefield, leaped out of the entrance, and vanished .
“I will not forget this!” Bluetail was struck on the shoulder, and he tumbled to the ground . The impact left a ring of cracks on the earth . He got up, turned, and ran . While he fled, he made his dark energy into an eight-eyed squirrel to attack Lin Sheng, trying to slow him down .
Steam was rising from Lin Sheng’s body . It was his sweat vaporizing that created that faint vision . He would not be upset if he could not kill his opponent because he knew he lacked the offensive capability to do so . His strength was in the defense department . The dark-energy crystals, the holy power’s Armor of Dawn, and the blood of the Rock Dragon were the best type of defense . It was not an exaggeration to say that his defense capability had far surpassed his offensive strength .

But, Bluetail was about to get away .
Beating this opponent was not an easy task . Lin Sheng had worn down his opponent by attrition . Even injuring her . If he let her get away, his efforts would be in vain .
“Let’s try this . If you can survive this attack, that means your time isn’t up yet!”
Lin Sheng raised his hand, gathering the last 30% of his holy power on his hand . Taking inspiration from the combat just now, he compressed and formed the energy into three solid discs in his hand and shot them out as if firing a bullet from a gun . It looked rudimentary but good enough . The only problem was, it was exhaustive .
“Go to hell!”
With the flick of his hand, three discs shot forward at once, making a deadly piercing sound through the air .
Bluetail was already one hundred meters out in front and thinking she was safe when she heard something swishing in the air . She looked over her shoulder and her pupils constricted in shock .
Before she could react, the three discs penetrated her last bit of dark-energy defense . She froze in her place .
A few seconds later, three cut marks with blood appeared on her upper body . The discs sliced her body into four pieces, each sliding off the other onto the grassland .

“I… I won’t accept defeat…” Bluetail struggled to utter his final words . He could not believe that he would die here .
As an elite with Six-winged strength, he could have gotten away anytime he wanted . Especially when Lin Sheng lacked the required offensive power . The problem was, he had fought Cainphas previously and been worn down by Lin Sheng . He had no dark energy left with him . So when he sensed the incoming disc attack, he had no way to parry nor dodge .
“He has died! Lord Bluetail has died!”
The cults waiting for the battle outcome in the surroundings watched in disbelief . Horrified, a few headmen from the Sevenlocks Tower withdrew from the scene .
The operation had failed . Not only the person setting up the soul vessel, but the chief commander of the team had also died . Everyone looked at each other, incredulous . They turned around and ran away . But the students and teaching assistants could not care less .
Lin Sheng caught his breath as he descended from the air . No . He could not fly . Just that the explosive reaction in his body kept him up in the air as he fought with his enemy . As the fighting stopped, he did not have to keep floating anymore .
Bluetail was the first elite warrior that he killed . While feeling emotional, Lin Sheng also found out his shortcomings . He was strong in defense but lame in his offense .
“Three things make up my strength . I’ve not used every skill I have, but I know my actual combat strength only a little better than this guy . When back home, I need to think of a way to strengthen my occult skill . ”
Lin Sheng walked up to Bluetails’ body, thinking to get his hands on the corpse and see what he could get from it, a blue light emerged from Bluetail’s head . It moved quicker than lightning across a distance of twenty meters and disappeared into Lin Sheng’s chest .
