With these thoughts in mind, Augustine’s heart suddenly became somewhat vaguely complacent, and he had almost begun to plan his future revival.
However, after hearing Augustine’s words, a playful smile spread across the corners of his mouth.
Then, a divine transmission from Li Nan came into Augustine’s mind.
“Don’t pretend, you have already recognised me, haven’t you? Grand Prelate Augustine?”
Li Nan said with a sigh of relief.
Hearing these words, Augustine’s entire body suddenly shook violently as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had seen it!
He had already read his own mind!
For a moment, Augustine’s entire body was drenched in cold sweat as he fell into an incomparable state of fear.
Augustine knew very well that the other side would never let him go.
So, without any further hesitation, Augustine lifted the sceptre in his hand and poured his full strength into it.
“Heretic, accept the baptism of the gods!”
Augustine shouted.
In fact, this sceptre was Augustine’s greatest reliance.
This sceptre was the most supreme holy relic of the entire Inquisition, and had existed for at least several thousand years, longer than the Inquisition had even existed.
Even Augustine himself was not very clear about the origin of this sceptre.
All he knew was that if this sceptre was fully activated, it would be extremely powerful.
To use this sceptre at full power was considered a forbidden art by the previous Grand Pontiffs of the Inquisition, and it was not allowed to be used easily until it was absolutely necessary.
Now that Augustine was in a life-threatening situation, he had no choice but to use it.
As Augustine shouted out these words, a shocking scene appeared.
“Boom!”
There was a loud sound.
The top of the scepter instantly glowed white!
The light was so dazzling and blinding that it was as if a sun was close at hand, shining so brightly that everyone in the room could not open their eyes!
“Ah!!!”
The security guards at the side let out a miserable scream the moment the light was emitted.
Almost at the same time, the bodies of the guards were torn apart by the white light from the scepter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were instantly swallowed up by the white light, without even any ashes left!
Not only that, even the tables and chairs, even the walls and the floor in the room were completely torn apart and swallowed up under the white light, disappearing completely!
The power of this white light was so terrifying that it seemed as if anything that was illuminated by it, everything in this world, seemed to be completely engulfed by its light!
Not only that, this white light, while shining, actually gave people an extremely sacred feeling.
It made people feel that even if they were engulfed by this white light, they were not heading towards death, but rather, they had received the baptism of this divine light and were heading towards a heaven that would satisfy their hearts.
So, in the presence of this white light, those whose consciousness is slightly weaker will even actively beg for death!
This is the terror of this sceptre!
In fact, at this moment, even Augustine himself was completely shocked by the power of this sceptre. Even he himself did not expect that the forbidden art that he had always dared not use so easily would be so powerful.
If he had known that, he would not have had to go far away to beg the Hidden Sect, and he would not have had to kowtow to this Mr. Lai and beg for mercy.
At this moment, even Li Nan could not help but have his eyes widened in shock.
Apart from the God of Yin, the divine light of this scepter was the most powerful force that Li Nan had ever seen in his life!
Li Nan could truly feel that even with his strength, he was unable to fight against such a powerful force!
Seeing that the scepter’s divine light was about to shine in front of him, Li Nan did not think of escaping alone at first, but took the lead to block Sheng Yumei’s body.
“Be careful!”
Li Nan rushed up and directly protected Sheng Yumei in his arms.
At this moment, Sheng Yumei had already been deeply shocked by the power of that divine light, and had forgotten even the most basic dodging, and it was only until she was protected by Li Nan at this moment that she suddenly realized.
“No!”
Sheng Yumei exclaimed.
From Sheng Yumei’s point of view, the other party protecting herself like this was simply seeking her own death!
Even Li Nan himself, at this moment, was already prepared for certain death.
However, the next moment, something unexpected happened.
The moment the divine light, which was so dazzling that it could engulf everything, touched Li Nan, it went out completely!
The entire world, as if it had suddenly lost its sun, instantly became dim!
“What ……”
Augustine could not believe his eyes.
He couldn’t understand at all why the divine light, which was clearly that powerful just now, had suddenly gone out!
When Li Nan saw that both he and Sheng Yu Mei were actually unharmed, he was also stunned.
But then, Li Nan immediately understood something.
Just now, when the divine light had reached him, he clearly felt that the Spirit of Zeus in his hand had triggered as if it had sensed something!
The moment the Spirit of Zeus was triggered, the divine light instantly retreated as if it had received some kind of order!
Although Li Nan did not know exactly what this was all about, he had probably guessed something.
I’m afraid that this scepter in Augustine’s hand was somehow connected to the Soul of Zeus in his own hand!
The Soul of Zeus in Li Nan’s hand had now been proven to be related to the gods of Olympus, a relic from Greek mythology.
Thus, a suspicion naturally formed in Li Nan’s mind.
The sceptre in Augustine’s hand was probably also related to the gods of Olympus!
In fact, Li Nan’s guess was not wrong, the Inquisition had always dealt with matters related to the gods and faith.
The sceptre was obtained from an ancient cathedral by the original grand pontiff of the Inquisition.
That Great Pontiff had seen the terrifying power of this sceptre, and ever since then it has been considered the greatest sacred object in the whole Inquisition!
“Impossible! This can’t be!”
It was clearly a holy relic of their Inquisition, but now it was against their will, a result that Augustine could not accept at all.
He tried to inject his full strength into the scepter again, but the result was the same as before, the dazzling divine light instantly dissipated and returned to darkness the moment it touched Li Nan.
It was as if even the divine light seemed to have a deep scorn for Li Nan!
At this moment, Augustine was completely dumbfounded.
He reluctantly tried to continue, but unfortunately, Li Nan was no longer prepared to give him such an opportunity.
Without waiting for Augustine to make another move, Li Nan’s mind moved.
“Whoosh!” There was a sound.
The scepter that was originally in Augustine’s hand instantly flew into Li Nan’s hand.
“What!?”
Augustine’s face was filled with disbelief.
One had to know that this scepter was bound to successive grand pontiffs with divine thoughts, and according to reason, only a true grand pontiff would be able to drive it.
But now, this Mr. Li was able to take away his scepter so easily.
When he thought of the fact that the divine light could not hurt Mr. Lai, a bold thought immediately formed in Augustine’s mind.
Augustine thought to himself, “Is this Mr. Lai the real owner of this sceptre?
Countless thoughts came to Augustine’s mind, but unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to think about them.
When he looked at the scepter in his hand, he injected his divine thoughts into it and saw that the top of the scepter was indeed lit up with light.
Seeing this scene, Li Nan’s heart was instantly clear.
It seemed to be just as he had guessed, that this sceptre was indeed inextricably linked to the gods of Olympus!
At this moment, Augustine’s entire face, however, had long been taken over by panic.
“Impossible! How is this possible!”
Augustine was almost going mad.
The corner of Li Nan’s mouth, however, revealed a cold smile.
“There is nothing impossible.”
Li Nan looked at Augustine and said, “It seems that you are not very good at using this thing, so it is better for me to teach you exactly how it should be used ……”
With those words, Li Nan lifted his scepter.
“Boom!”
An intense divine light fiercely blasted out from the top of that scepter, and directly shot towards Augustine.
Before Augustine could react, his entire body was instantly torn to pieces by this divine light, leaving not even any ashes behind.
The divine light, on the other hand, pounded all the way out, causing a huge hole to be made in the wall behind Augustine.
The white divine light shot straight up into the sky, instantly disappearing into the heavens!
Such a scene was seen by countless people in the Wide Sea.
Only, this divine light dissipated instantly, so much so that the crowd had no idea where exactly this divine light had come from, or else it would have inevitably caused no small amount of chaos again.
Looking at the sceptre in his hand, Li Nan was also unable to help but feel emotion.
In fact, he had just felt the connection between himself and this scepter and wanted to try it out casually, but he did not expect it to bring about such a great power!
Li Nan’s heart was also completely shocked by the power of this sceptre.
At the same time, while he was holding this sceptre, a name came straight to his mind.
Eternal Light!
Li Nan’s eyebrows raised, was this the real name of this scepter?
Although it was a bit middle-aged, there was no doubt about the power of this scepter.
Li Nan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that he hadn’t come here today for nothing, to be able to obtain such a powerful weapon, his overall strength would definitely rise to another level!
