With Raymond presiding over the proceedings, the various powerful factions very quickly finished dividing the Church’s land and resources amongst themselves.

“In a few days’ time, the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons will be open. Then, we will go in together. Don’t forget to bring your waist tablet!” After reminding everyone of a few things, he left in by dissolving into a ball of flames, disappearing without a trace with a swooshing sound.

“Yang Ling, we’re leaving too. If you have time in the future, remember to come back to the Royal Elven Palace!” The Chief Elven Priestess said her goodbyes to Yang Ling and left together with the God of Swords. One is an unconventional and unrestrained swordsman, the other, an otherworldly Elven Priestess. They looked like a match made in heaven.

“Yang Ling, it’s not urgent to establish the Magical Beast Empire now. Just send someone to take over the Holy Alliance. Be sure not to delay the matter of the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons!” The Elder of the Dark Association reminded Yang Ling and paused and said, “The three of us need to go too. We need to go back and take the time to prepare for the mission after we enter the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. If you run into any difficulties, you can always come to Balark City to look for us!”

“Chief Elder, don’t worry, if we really run into any difficulties, we won’t hesitate to ask for your help!” Yang Ling smiled and waved to say goodbye to the Three Major Heads of the Dark.

...

In order to completely defeat the rest of the powers of the Church, and in order to take over the land of the Church and quickly make the preparations to venture into the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, all the powerful factions rapidly led their own soldiers and left. Not long after, only Yang Ling and the Great Magical Beasts Army were the only ones left in the whole of the Holy City.

“Seylius, you go back to the Magical Beasts Realm and pass on my command. Order Ashnamov to immediately lead 50 thousand soldiers to go to the Holy Alliance quickly, and as quickly as possible, stabilize the situation there. “After pausing, Yang Ling continued saying, “Rodriguez, you will lead the Great Magical Beasts Army to continue to search and clear the area and control the situation in the Holy City and guard each strategic channel. Sala, you will lead the Marmots army to clean up the battlefield. The rest of you follow me. Let’s see how many treasures the Church has scalped and kept over the hundreds and thousands of years!”

While speaking, Yang Ling led members of his party like the Dark Dragon King and Hydra, towards the big cathedral behind Victory Plaza, preparing to harvest the spoils of war rapidly.

Just as the Elder of the Dark Association had said, the Church had accumulated countless fortunes, most of which were stored in the Holy City. The time to getting into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons was getting nearer and nearer, and he needed to do an inventory of all the fortunes left behind by the Church and rapidly stabilize the situation with both the Holy City and the Holy Alliance.

The Church occupied a large space, and there were majestic buildings one after another, and the facilities were complete. There were army camps with colorful flags flying in the wind, a few training grounds the size of a few football fields combined, solemn and majestic great halls used for praying... If one was not familiar with the area, it might be feared that one would be wandering around for half a day without being able to find the right direction. But, with prisoners-of-war who had surrendered, things became much simpler.

Under the leadership of a prison-of-war, Yang Ling and party walked through building after building of tall steeples with sharp spires, and through door after door of sharp arches. Along the way, rose windows depicting classic stories could be seen everywhere. Long windows in-laid with colorful glass mosaic made up picture after picture of colorful religious stories, refracting a strong religious atmosphere.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the huge and powerful Church might have become like an arrogant overlord, but one could not deny that they had achieved great success in their art of architecture!

The prisoner-of-war was called Diogu, with a clean and fair face. He was a middle-aged missionary, usually in charge of leading the prayers of the followers, and was very familiar with the lay of the land of the Holy City. Under his guidance, Yang Ling and the party very quickly came to the front of a majestic looking building.

The tightly closed door was all black, made out entirely of obsidian. Surrounding the building were two towers for shooting arrows and two Energy Towers. There was usually a wing of soldiers stationed there. It was so strongly guarded that an ordinary person would not be able to get near. But after the Holy City had fallen, no matter the tower for shooting arrows or Energy Towers, all had long been empty.

“My Lord, this is our Church’s treasure old. All the treasures that had been offered for tribute from all over the world, and for hundreds and thousands of years, are all stored here!” Looking at the so-called Great Demon King that killed people like flies and the ferocious-looking members of his party like the Dark Dragon King and Giant Ape King, the missionary leading the way was anxious and on tenterhooks. He was worried all the time that he would get ripped into shreds while alive, by the many ferocious and wild Magical Beasts, if he got careless.

When the Holy City fell, he personally witnessed a Templar being ripped into half, fresh blood flowing freely, the innards and intestines all falling out. That bloody and terrifying image still gave him goosebumps and the chills up to his scalp every time he thought of it.

The Templar was the most elite force in the Church. If even they could not withstand a blow, then who else could be a match?

Furthermore, the other party still had a few greatly powerful Divine Level Experts, and the terrifying, powerful Twelve-winged Angel Raymond that could kill a dozen with a hit of his sword. Even if one were to fight to the death, he would definitely be no match for the other party.

So, Diogu made the wise choice of surrendering!

“Who has the keys?” Looking at the tightly closed door, Yang Ling furrowed brow.

It was no problem to smash the door open. Even the hardest metal door would not be able to withstand the wild and ferocious Magical Beasts. The problem was that no one knew if there were any traps behind the door. If one accidentally fell into an ancient Spell Formation, then it would be troublesome. It would be best to be more careful.

“The key is in the hands of the Managing Elder. But now, I’m afraid... I’m afraid that no one knows where he is” Looking at Yang Ling’s cold expression, Diogu kept sweating cold sweat, afraid that he unintentionally had the terrifying Great Demon King Yang Ling.

“My Lord, let me at it!” The Giant Ape King was, by nature, crazily violent. Looking at a metal door that was blocking his way, he was long itching to take action in impatience. With a roar, he ruthlessly used the bat and smashed it into the door with a whooshing sound.

Rumble...

After a low thunderous sound, the Giant Ae King was jolted till his mouth went numb, and he involuntarily took a few steps backward. But the pitch-black metal door did not move an inch, like a thousand-pound anchor that was insistently blocking their way. Just as Yang Ling had expected, this was not as simple as an ordinary door.

Since this place contained the Church’s collection of treasures over hundreds and thousands of years, the Church definitely would have spent much effort on it. There was no way anyone could easily break into this place!

Howl...

The Giant Ape King was reluctant to give up and, with a roar, rushed up to it again. One smash, two smashes... He kept smashing the hard door without stopping. Unfortunately, even if he had used up all his energy, the door still refused to budge and did not even tremble. It was even harder than the gates of the Holy City.

“Move, let me try!” the Nine-headed Snake King Hydra said while transforming to his true form, circling the air a few times before diving straight down, slamming into the strong door ruthlessly with a rumbling sound. In an instant, the whole building shook like there was an earthquake, and in response, a few cracks appeared on the door.

Compared to the Giant Ape King, the Nine-headed Snake King Hydra, which was at the peak level power of a Mid-level Deity, was stronger many times over!

“One more time, open for me!” Looking at the cracks on the door, Hydra was greatly encouraged and ruthlessly slammed into it once again. Once, twice... Every time, it was like an earthquake, shaking the whole building. The thunderous banging sounds traveled far and wide.

Rumble...

Just as Hydra slammed hard into the door a few dozen times, and was jolted till his head was about to explode, the heavy door finally fell with a crash, revealing a large treasure room. What made Yang Ling heave a sigh of relief, was that apart from a cloud of dust, there was no trap or ancient Spell Formation behind the door. It looked like the Church was full of confidence about the heavy and hard door, and thought there was no chance of failure. No one had thought that the door would one day encounter the extremely strong Nine-headed Snake Hydra!

“Heavens, Crystal Coins, Purple Crystal Coins that are piled higher than a mountain!”

“The Crystal Coins are nothing. Look at these top quality Crystal Stones and high-level Magical Beasts Essence Crystal. Heavens, how much are these worth?”

“Secret Silver Minerals, Heavy Metals from another dimension, tsk tsk, these are the real treasures that are valuable!”

...

Looking at the dazzling area of treasures, the treasures that were piled up high like mountains, everyone was in awe. Even though they knew that the Church had fleeced countless treasures, no one expected it to be so numerous. Not to mention the Crystal Coins and top quality Crystal Stones that were piled as high as a mountain, just a few pieces of alternate dimension’s mineral stones that had come out from the Space Cracks were priceless.

The mineral stones from an alternate dimension had a market, but no supply, even a thousand pieces of gold could not buy the stone. But here, they were countless and piled like high like a mountain!

No wonder the Church was so generous, and could build large cathedrals that occupied astonishingly large areas. No wonder every Knight of the Church was equipped with strong armor. No wonder the Church’s Spellcasters were all full of Magical Weapons. So this was the reason!

“Quick, take them, take them all, leave none behind!” Looking at the dazzling array of treasures, Yang Ling was ecstatic, ordering everyone to spread out and keep the treasures into the Space Ring as quickly as possible. After stuffing the Space Rings to the brim, he simply just kept all the rest into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, leaving them for the Six-winged Angel Ophelia to slowly tidy up.

“Eh, a Dimension Star Indicator. My Lord, hurry, come over here quickly!” After unintentionally spotting a simple and old looking bracelet, Hydra, who had transformed into a Snake Maiden, screamed loudly.

The Dimension Star Indicator was a Divine Weapon that could accurately pinpoint the position of the other dimensions. If one wanted to go to an alternate dimension through the Space Crack, one must have a detailed and precise Dimension Star Indicator. According to legend, this mysterious Divine Weapon could only be made by the elusive Dimensional Wanderers and was extremely valuable. Not to mention and ordinary organic dimension, even on the Magical Beasts dimension, the Dimension Star Indicator was extremely rare.

“This is the Dimension Star Indicator?”

Coming over after hearing the news, Yang Ling took the Dimension Star Indicator from Hydra’s hands. He looked at the shiny star map on the bracelet, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. This was no Star Indicator, it was obviously a vast star map that was drawn on a bracelet. Every small shining dot represented a planet. Together, they formed a galaxy that looked like a white stream!
