Chapter 1536: Holy Artifact Crown of Thorns

Ye Bufan and Situ Dianmo joined forces, and the two of them actually suppressed the God Emperor so thoroughly that they completely gained the upper hand.

Below, however, the situation was vastly different; the Blood Clan had already been suppressed by the Divine Court, and their current strength was completely at a disadvantage.

Ten Cardinals and ten Holy Knights—their combined strength was already enough to crush the few remaining Blood Clan princes.

Although their Physical Bodies were formidable, under the attribute suppression, Asangqi and the others were still routed, one by one, covered in wounds.

As for the smaller vampires below, they were even worse; under the suppression of numerous divine personnel, they had no power to retaliate whatsoever.

Seeing the situation below, Ye Bufan frowned slightly; although he didn’t like these guys from the Dark World, he couldn’t let them perish, otherwise, breaking the balance of the West would bring unnecessary trouble to Huaxia.

But in this situation, even if he went down, it wouldn’t have much effect; the top priority was to quickly defeat the God Emperor, as the situation below would naturally ease once Adams was defeated.

Thinking of this, he sent a signal, and the two immediately accelerated their offensive frequency.

Situ Dianmo pressed the attack from the front, attracting most of the God Emperor’s attention, while Ye Bufan suddenly conjured the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, unleashing several massive bolts of lightning that fiercely struck Adams’s back.

Caught off guard, Adams hastily conjured a Holy Light Shield, blocking the lightning striking down upon him.

Seizing this opportunity, Ye Bufan instantly appeared behind him, his Dragon Fang striking his back.

With a dull thud, although Dragon Fang landed a hit, Holy Light bloomed on Adams’s back, hardily taking the blow.

At the same time, a powerful recoil sent him flying back dozens of meters, and Dragon Fang nearly slipped from his grasp.

Ye Bufan couldn’t help but gasp; a God Emperor Rank expert was indeed formidable; his body-protecting defense alone was not something he could easily break through.

“Huaxia man, you’re not strong enough to hurt me.”

Having been suppressed for so long, Adams was furious; with a loud roar, Holy Light bloomed on his body, finally forming a Holy Light Armor that protected his entire body.

The Divine Court members below watched in astonishment; in all these years, it was the first time the God Emperor had used the Armor of Holy Light, which showed how much pressure he was under.

At the same time, their gazes towards Ye Bufan were filled with shock and awe; he hadn’t even reached the God Emperor Rank yet, but he could injure the God Emperor—perhaps he was the only one in the entire world who could do it.

Ye Bufan, however, didn’t bother with such thoughts; his figure flickered, and he attacked again.

With Holy Light condensed into armor, Adams’s defense increased exponentially, and even his previous disadvantage was significantly reversed.

But Situ Dianmo was powerful, and Ye Bufan was completely immune to Holy Power, so he didn’t have a good solution either; he could only adapt to each move, and for a time, both sides were evenly matched, entering a stalemate.

Seeing that every attack was fruitless, Ye Bufan secretly grew annoyed; if this continued, the Blood Clan might really be wiped out.

Once those Holy Knights and Cardinals were freed up, his and Situ Dianmo’s lives wouldn’t be easy either.

Thinking of this, he no longer held back and directly used his ultimate trump card—the Divine Soul Blade.

With a loud boom, Situ Dianmo and the God Emperor clashed, both evenly matched.

Seizing this opening, Ye Bufan first released a dozen bolts of lightning, then his Dragon Fang transformed into a streak of light, piercing towards Adams’s back.

This situation had occurred several times before, and knowing that the opponent couldn’t break his Holy Light Armor, Adams didn’t take it too seriously, merely using a Holy Light Shield to block the lightning from above his head.

But just then, a sudden, intense stabbing pain shot through his mind, followed by his Mental Energy entering a state of stagnation.

Now, Ye Bufan’s Mental Energy was comparable to a Great Perfection Void Refining Realm expert; how could the Divine Soul Blade used in such a situation be resisted by him?

All of the Divine Court’s spells relied on Mental Energy for support; once this backing was lost, the Holy Light Armor on his body instantly vanished.

Although the time was very short, it was enough for Ye Bufan; the Dragon Fang in his hand met no further obstruction, piercing into Adams’s right chest like a knife cutting through tofu.

Immediately, blood splattered, and the tip of Dragon Fang emerged from the other side of his chest.

Suddenly, there was silence in the arena; no one had expected that the God Emperor, invincible in the Western World, would not only be defeated but also severely wounded.

After a brief silence, the Divine Court members immediately panicked.

“Your Majesty, God Emperor!”

With a cry of alarm, Helena, Casillas, Guardiola, and others swiftly soared into the air, coming to Adams’s side.

Ye Bufan also didn’t continue his attack; he retrieved Dragon Fang, and he and Situ Dianmo retreated to the side.

In fact, he had held back just now; if it weren’t for Helena’s Face, that strike wouldn’t have pierced his right chest, but rather directly pierced his heart.

“Father, are you alright?

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

In her haste, Helena no longer bothered to hide her identity and cried out anxiously.

“I’m fine, all of you get out of my way!”

Adams’s voice was filled with rage.

The dignified God Emperor, the dignified ruler of the Western World, was actually injured by a junior; this made his dignity and Face completely vanish.

Everyone, fearing his majesty, retreated backward.

Adams clutched his pierced chest with one hand, his expression cold as he looked at Ye Bufan.

“Boy, you truly surprise me, to be able to injure me, but do you think this is enough to defeat me, the God Emperor? You are still far from it.”

With that, he extended a hand, and a crown woven from thorns appeared in his palm.

Ye Bufan’s expression suddenly changed; although he didn’t recognize what it was, his Divine Sense could feel the immense pressure emanating from it—this was clearly a very high-Rank treasure.

Adams said smugly, “Why do you think I suddenly came to annihilate the Blood Clan this time? Because today’s Divine Court is no longer the Divine Court of the past; I have recovered the Crown of Thorns that has been missing for many years.”

“What? This is the Crown of Thorns?”

Upon hearing his words, both the Divine Court members and the Blood Clan members showed expressions of shock.

The Crown of Thorns was the supreme Sacred Artifact of the Divine Court in legends, but unfortunately, it had been missing for a thousand years; no one expected it to suddenly appear in the God Emperor’s hand today.

“The Crown of Thorns, ah, that’s wonderful! Your Majesty the God Emperor has actually recovered our Divine Court’s supreme treasure…”

The Divine Court members were all excited, as if injected with stimulants.

In contrast, despair filled the eyes of the defeated Blood Clan members.

The current Divine Court was already beyond their ability to contend with; if they also had the Sacred Artifact, the Crown of Thorns, where would the Blood Clan find a way to survive in the future?

Among everyone present, only Situ Dianmo and Ye Bufan looked bewildered; they didn’t understand Western world civilization and clearly didn’t know what this thing was.

Adams looked smug, raising the Crown of Thorns in his hand and placing it on his head; instantly, the Crown of Thorns radiated dazzling Holy Light.

Then, the thorns on it pierced his scalp, and Holy Power surged wildly, filling his body with dense Holy Power in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the wound on his chest that had just been pierced by Dragon Fang began to heal at a visible speed, almost completely recovering in just one breath.
