This scene utterly baffled everyone.

The spectacle of light and shadow that had appeared in the sky was already enough to astonish, yet unexpectedly, a Holy Flame Giant appeared as well.

Undoubtedly, the Holy Flame Giant that appeared afterward was transformed by Lin Ye.

His presence alone was even more formidable than those other light and shadow images.

The opposing light images were clearly silent.

They probably never imagined such a scene would happen.

"This is of no benefit to you. Comply with the Holy Light, that is the true path."

After a brief silence, the massive light image finally spoke.

To be honest, what significance does Lin Ye's actions hold?

Publicly challenging the Church Court? Regardless of its meaning...

The outcome alone is clearly not something the Alliance would wish to see, right?

The Alliance has never openly broken ties with the Church precisely because they do not want the Human Race to fragment amidst external threats.

This is why even though the Church and Alliance find each other disagreeable, the Alliance, which has a clear military advantage, has always shown restraint.

But now, what is the point of Lin Ye's actions?

Is it just to publicly defy the Church and embarrass them?

This leaves those within the Holy Core quite baffled...

At this moment, a powerful aura erupted from the depths of the Southern Church Court.

"Arrogant! How dare you look the Holy Core in the eye! This is blasphemous!"

An aged voice erupted, clearly indicating that a Hidden Cultivator of the Southern Church Court was about to take action against Lin Ye.

Whether or not it's justified, the most important thing is to capture Lin Ye and put an end to this farce.

"Seal the area, do not allow anyone to escape!" Liang Jintian quickly issued the command.

At this moment, he knew that since they had moved against Lin Ye, there must be no chance of his escape.

Even if the time comes for the Alliance to settle scores, this action must still be taken now!

Because from the day they knew Lin Ye would attend the Holy Prayer Meeting, both the Holy Core and Liang Jintian had planned to kill Lin Ye if necessary.

Although the repercussions of this matter will undoubtedly be unfavorable, in the long run, it is quite beneficial to the Church.

Of course, the best outcome would be for Lin Ye to willingly submit, allowing the power of the Holy Flame to return to the Church's control.

But if Lin Ye insists on courting death, then they cannot be blamed for their ruthlessness!

After all, the Church would never willingly relinquish the right to interpret the Holy Light.

As the aura of a Hundred-level Powerhouse emerged, Lin Ye's expression changed abruptly...

"Nangong Dou!"

This guy was the strongest of the Southern Church Court, a renowned powerhouse even decades ago.

In the past ten years, he had largely withdrawn from Church matters, always hiding within the Church in an attempt to break through the hundredth level and join the ranks of the strongest.

Yet, until his death, he never took that step.

Lin Ye had little interaction with Nangong Dou, but in his previous life, Liang Jintian, vying for the position of Pope, became embroiled in internal conflicts within the Holy Core. Having picked the wrong side, Liang Jintian was settled by Nangong Dou.

At that time, Lin Ye had protected Liang Houyun from the shadows, inevitably leading to entanglements with Nangong Dou, making him aware of just how ruthless Nangong Dou's actions could be.

However, Lin Ye was not overly fearful at present.

Without thorough preparation, how could he dare to court death in this way?

At this moment, a dark fragment floated from Lin Ye's body, covered with tiny stars. Gazing into it was like peering into the solidified night sky, evoking a sensation of having one's soul being drawn into it.

The moment this happened, it was clear that the Holy Core light image in the sky had sensed something.

"Domain Stone! Nangong Dou, stop him quickly!"

The voice roared, stirring up waves upon waves, with glass on the surrounding buildings shattering at that moment.

Clearly, the members of the Holy Core were truly anxious at this moment!

"Perish!"

A dark shadow surged out from the depths of the Church, a withered hand reaching for Lin Ye's face.

Yet at that moment, Lin Ye had already vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared atop the Holy Stele.

The Holy Flame he had thrown towards the Holy Light Crystal Mother earlier had become the medium for his current movement.

With that, Lin Ye seemed to meld into the Holy Light Crystal Mother, disappearing completely without a trace!

Nangong Dou stood frozen in place!

"He... has entered the City of Light..." Nangong Dou's voice now seemed aged by several more years.

He had practiced all his life, just to gain the privilege to freely enter the City of Light.

After all, it was where the True Meaning of Holy Light resided, and only there could one truly touch the limits of Holy Light.

Yet Lin Ye could freely enter the City of Light without the Holy Core's consent.

This truly made him envious!

Because Lin Ye was the Master of the Holy Flame, effectively a part-custodian of the City of Light.

The vast majority of the Holy Core members had less authority in the City of Light compared to Lin Ye.

In fact, Lin Ye could directly enter the City of Light by merely leveraging the tiny connection between the Holy Light Crystal Mother and the City of Light.

In the face of such authority, even if Nangong Dou were a Hundred-level Powerhouse, or even the strongest, he was powerless.

Because he simply could not enter the City of Light, and even if he did, whether he or Lin Ye would survive was uncertain.

"Is this... just so he could enter the City of Light?" Liang Jintian was somewhat dumbfounded.

He didn't quite understand what Lin Ye was trying to achieve.

"Fool! He has a Domain Stone, his purpose for attending the Holy Prayer Meeting from the beginning was to partition the City of Light!"

Nangong Dou reprimanded.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jintian was stunned.

Partition the City of Light!

This... isn't much different from cutting off the Church's lifeblood, is it?

"Then... why haven't the Holy Core members stopped it?" He looked up at the sky, where the light images were still locked in a stare with the Holy Flame Giant transformed by Lin Ye.

"Perhaps they're unable to return for the time being..."

Nangong Dou's corner of the mouth twitched slightly.

Those old fellows, wanting to show off for the public, ended up getting their home turned over.

Who would have thought that the Strongest Liu Tianyuan would be willing to give a Domain Stone to Lin Ye?

Has he already given up on taking the final step to fulfill Lin Ye?

While everyone was in shock over the upheaval at the Holy Prayer Meeting, Lin Ye had already entered the City of Light at this moment.

And the stone in his hand had temporarily and completely isolated the City of Light from the outside world.

"Senior Liu Tianyuan, as you wished, I will completely separate the power of the Holy Flame from here!"
