The Giant Devouring Beast frantically chased after Lin Ye. In terms of intelligence, it was apparently not much smarter than its smaller kin, knocking over quite a few Beast Devourers in its wrath.

Having drawn its hatred, Lin Ye didn't worry at all about losing these Beast Devourers and continued flying forward.

With the grudge these Beast Devourers hold, they basically won't give up chasing unless they settle it with life or death.

So as long as Lin Ye didn't disappear from their sight, he wasn't afraid of losing this hard-won group of Beast Devourers.

Thus, Lin Ye constantly 'led the race' in front of these Beast Devourers, occasionally attracting even more Beast Devourers over.

If it weren't for relying on his speed and the convenience of quick transportation skills like Flashing, Lin Ye wouldn't have been able to pull such a large group of Beast Devourers.

So many Beast Devourers probably don't need all of them; just a tenth of them launching an attack could instantly kill a Professional of the same level.

Being able to hold them off for ten seconds is likely something only top-tier front-liners can achieve.

But Lin Ye didn't care; as long as he didn't dive headlong into the midst of the Beast Devourers, they basically couldn't harm him at all. Their skills were all Space System, so Lin Ye could completely ignore them.

Even if Lin Ye really got surrounded, with his health, it's likely that even if these Beast Devourers gnawed until their teeth broke and claws snapped, they wouldn't inflict lethal damage on Lin Ye.

Moreover, if he really couldn't run anymore, Lin Ye had plenty of means to instantly wipe out the entire horde of Beast Devourers.

In the whole world, there was probably no second person who could cavort like Lin Ye.

Of course, others had no reason to do so either. From a third-party perspective, Lin Ye's behavior seemed utterly foolish, like someone with a loose screw.

But there was no choice; to obtain the Beast Devourer's skills, Lin Ye could only wildly wander all over the map.

...

"Damn it, this is simply too much... That old bastard Liu Tianyuan really went too far this time!"

"Ancestor, if this continues, we will eventually be consumed, and Lin Ye will surely find ways to continue annexing the remaining parts of City of Light."

"We've been tolerant, and this is the outcome we get?"

"Losing the Holy Flame is just the beginning; later punishment, Light Forged... all sorts, Lin Ye and Liu Tianyuan will never let go if they can reach them."

"This time, we have suffered too great a loss; several members relying on Holy Flame Power vanished into thin air during this plunder."

Inside the City of Light, those illusory figures gathered together in a heated argument.

Among them, the most solid-looking figure seemed a bit weary, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

As the surrounding figures spoke, his face grew increasingly grim.

"You useless bunch, shut up now!"

He spoke up, and the surrounding figures immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

The figure addressed as Ancestor stood up, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath; instantly, the endless light within the City of Light gathered frantically around him.

Gradually, his figure became clearer and more substantial from semi-transparent until it became a complete entity.

Although the expressions of the surrounding light figures fluctuated, their fixed gaze revealed an undeniable envy.

This was the power of the Light Forged!

It could form the Holy Light into any needed material at will.

Among the Twelve Saints, in many people's impressions, the strongest was the Saint Flame Pope who controlled the power of the Holy Flame.

But in reality, had the Light Forged Saint not fallen earlier, who was the eldest among the Twelve Saints would indeed have been hard to say.

This Ancestor before him, named Zhao Tianci, though not a patriarch level of the Twelve Saints, was also someone from hundreds of years ago who had brutally integrated the relatively loose Twelve Church Alliance into a unified Holy Light Church Court.

"I chose to slumber to avoid Liu Tianyuan, that defiant being, yet after three hundred years, you almost destroyed the Church Court I painstakingly consolidated?"

Zhao Tianci coldly glanced at the surrounding light figures, his gaze icy.

All were silent with fear. The battle strength of the Light Forged Pope Zhao Tianci surely exceeded the sum of the others.

The mere technique of condensing the Holy Light into a tangible body was one they couldn't even dream of...

Zhao Tianci clasped his hands behind his back and walked forward, while the light figures ahead made way, fearing to impede him in the slightest.

The newly awakened figure, brimming with a grudge from being awakened, was someone none dared to irk.

"Did you wake me just to barter with Gongsun to get rid of that junior named Lin Ye?" Zhao Wuji walked up front and spoke aloud.

Those light figures looked at each other, and finally, someone bravely spoke up: "Ancestor, we have no choice... Currently, only you can suppress these Demon Gods; we are truly incapable..."

"Fools! By your accounts, hasn't that kid already fought Gongsun several times? He dares, yet you don't?"

Zhao Tianci laughed in anger at these fools, even less competent than a mere junior in his Second Transformation, easily toyed with.

Rebuked by Zhao Tianci, they dared not speak, trembling with their heads down.

Zhao Tianci glanced back, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Originally, the City of Light shouldn't have been a refuge for you scurrying mice..." Zhao Tianci remarked.

He resided in the City of Light only to avoid competing for fate with Liu Tianyuan, that anomaly.

The aim was still to break through to the Strongest realm and reach the Origin Realm.

Yet these people failed even to grasp the Strongest realm and had no qualification to step into the Origin Realm, yet dared to live openly in the City of Light...

"Forget it, since the Holy Flame has resurfaced in the world, I don't mind extinguishing it once more..." Zhao Tianci sneered.

He again recalled that fool from decades ago, who attempted to liberate the City of Light, named Luo Daohe.

Unexpectedly, decades later, another successor on the Path of Holy Flame emerged doing near the same thing.

However, compared to Luo Daohe, Lin Ye wasn't as radical, only diverting the Holy Flame's power.

Of course, the most crucial point is...

"Unexpectedly, after my three-hundred-year slumber, I could still hear of Liu Tianyuan relinquishing the Domain Stone. This Origin Realm is heaven's gift to me!"

He whispered fervently to himself.
