Chapter 292: Adding Points
Three enormous mushroom clouds appeared in mid-air, with wisps of smoke drooping from their edges like ribbons. The already desolate city below was flattened by an invisible hand under the impact of the rampaging air currents.
Light, heat, and radiation recklessly filled the area, killing all living things within range.
Fortunately, although nuclear bombs are powerful, their destructive force is difficult to concentrate.
Karl’s physical body was comparable to a meteorite from outer space, and with the support of the third-circle wizardry spell, “Water of Life,” even though his skin and flesh were rapidly melting at the core of the explosion, his body was also rapidly regenerating, resisting the destruction.
The explosion came quickly and left quickly.
Karl, covered in wounds, shook his body, and with a surge of power, he lifted more than ten people from the field into the sky. Soon after, they landed by a small stream.
“Connie!”
“Knight Connie!”
“……”
The crowd hurriedly surrounded him, their voices filled with concern, unable to conceal their excitement.
Except for Hume and the other four, the others had not had much contact with Karl, but had joined the team because they shared his ideals.
And today.
Karl not only revealed strength that was no less than that of a third-order, but also risked serious injury to protect everyone’s safety, earning their true recognition.
“I’m fine.”
Karl gently waved his hand:
“Just superficial wounds, I’ll be fine after some rest. But the Second Elder probably won’t let this go.”
“Yes!” Nicole nodded, her face solemn:
“We thought the Second Elder was just a second-order Holy Knight, but he became a third-order at some point.”
“Perhaps it’s an achievement gained by joining an evil god.”
“Hmm.” Jerry interjected:
“I asked some of the older priests, and the Second Elder was unknown in his early years. After a trip, his strength suddenly increased, and he also mastered a special ability to control flames.”
As apprentice priests of the Holy Sanctuary, they had access to much more information than the others.
Just like the Second Elder……
“The Second Elder, Patrick, was originally a child from an ordinary farmer’s family in the territory of Duke Olaf. When he was young, the Holy Knights discovered that he had the talent for cultivation, and after his parents agreed, he was brought back to the Holy Sanctuary for training.”
“Before he was forty, the Second Elder became a legend. When the Divine Domain collapsed, he broke through to become a second-order Holy Knight. In recent years, he somehow became a third-order, and is one of only three third-orders besides the Bishop and the First Elder.”
Nicole recounted the information she had:
“The Second Elder’s holy technique is called ‘Heavenly Radiance Break,’ a top-tier technique passed down from the ancient God of War.”
“Currently, there are followers of the Dragon Blight and the Creator, two major evil gods, in the base, and there is suspected to be an Upper Follower.”
“There are also the Great God’s Grace coins that Connie mentioned, and a right hand of the Pale Wing, used to refine Desecrated Potions.”
Hmm?
Karl’s eyes lit up.
“The Pale Wing’s right hand is in the base?”
“Yes.”
Jerry nodded:
“According to our information, the Pale Wing’s corpse was divided into several parts and placed in various bases.”
“The Holy Sanctuary Research Institute has most of the corpse. It is said… they have already cultivated a third-order Desecrated Beast.”
As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Karl.
Desecrated Beasts can be third-order, but Desecrated Knights with reason have never exceeded the legendary level.
Karl was the only exception.
It was no wonder the Research Institute wanted to capture him alive. If they understood the principle, could they mass-produce Forbidden Knights?
At this time, Karl had fallen into deep thought.
The Pale Wing’s right hand!
The Pale Wing was a fourth-order evil god. Even if it’s just a corpse, it should have a massive amount of Source Essence.
At the very least……
If he could get the Pale Wing’s corpse, he could use the Three Plates Technique to simulate its original form.
In theory, the Three Plates Technique could use the corpse of an evil god to evolve fourth-order power.
“Haa…”
Letting out a long breath, Karl slowly said:
“I am seriously injured now and need some time to recover. The Second Elder will definitely not let this opportunity pass.”
“And this…”
“is also our opportunity!”
“Nicole, Jerry, are there people in the base you trust, who can help me send in a flame?”
He had originally planned to use Source Essence to increase his mental power and accumulate enough Source Essence to reach the fourth order in one go.
Now it seemed he needed to change his strategy.
◈◈◈
If it were possible to obtain an Evil God’s right hand, then even abandoning the current Source Essence would be worthwhile.
Moreover, the Source Essence wouldn’t be wasted.
An increase in mental power cannot significantly improve strength in a short time; one must master more wizardry.
On the contrary.
If added to the constitution, the power of the physical body would explode, quickly increasing strength.
With a thought, more than four hundred Source Essence disappeared, and the constitution stat also soared from fifty to seventy-three.
The powerful, violent force filled his body, causing Karl to grunt, his muscles tensing.
Holy Demon Transformation!
With more than seventy points in constitution, although he couldn’t cultivate the Holy Demon Transformation to the ninth level, he could reach the eighth.
The physical body at the eighth level was comparable to a peak Late Stage, Third-Order powerhouse.
If the Second Elder was only at the initial stage of the Third-Order, then Karl was confident that he could defeat him within a few punches.
“Caution is paramount!”
“The Second Elder is likely not at the initial stage of the Third-Order, and besides, he has a Third-Order Upper Follower by his side. Even if they joined forces, I might not be their opponent…”

The base.
A three-dimensional holographic screen was replaying the scene of Karl killing the Evil God’s Follower not long ago.
“Stop!”
The Second Elder suddenly spoke, and the screen paused:
“Zoom in on his body.”
The Evil God’s Follower beside him gently waved his hand, and Karl’s body on the screen zoomed in, the details so clear that every hair could be seen.
The Creator’s Followers all have ‘cameras’ that record their experiences, and the Upper Followers can freely access them, making it convenient to find the culprit and gather information.
“It really is a Desecrated Knight!”
The Second Elder looked at Karl on the screen, his expression complex, with excitement, incomprehension, and a hint of fear:
“A battle aura that obliterates all life, filled with the aura of death and depravity, and those wings…”
“A being who desecrates the gods dares to claim he will change the current state of the Holy Sanctuary, what a joke!”
The Pale Wing was killed for defying the Moon Goddess, and now his bloodline is saying he will reorganize the Holy Sanctuary?
It sounds like a joke, but now it seems to be the truth.
“Patrick.” The Creator’s Upper Follower beside him spoke:
“This Connie hasn’t reached the Third-Order, but his battle aura is unique, capable of suppressing all living things, even mechanical life, which is how he was able to kill the Middle Follower.”
“If he advances to the Third-Order, we might need to join forces to take him down, and his growth is too fast. In just over a year, he has gone from a Grand Knight to a Late Stage, Second-Order, as if he has truly received a God’s blessing.”
“Don’t worry.” The Second Elder grinned:
“He’s injured now, and I have an informant by his side. It won’t be long before we find him. He has no chance.”
“However…”
“The power of the nuclear bomb doesn’t seem as strong as you said?”
“Nuclear weapons are not single-combat weapons; they are used on the battlefield to clear out the miscellaneous troops.” The Upper Follower shook his head:
“However, Connie was at the center of the explosion to protect others, so he must be seriously injured. This is our chance.”
“Indeed.” The Second Elder nodded:
“Let’s find him first!”
…………
One month later.
Several figures left the base, flying towards the distance.
At the bottom of a mountain.
Karl opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the base. Beside him were Hume and the others.
“They’re coming!”
“The Second Elder and the Creator’s Upper Follower have left the base. This is our chance to turn the tables.”
He took a deep breath and reached out with one hand.
Gate of Flames!
In the void, elemental particles collided in a complex sequence, and mysterious runes emerged.
Then…
A Gate of Flames leading to the base quietly opened.
