Ove filled with trepidation and doubt.

He was well aware of the overwhelming pressure he exerted in this state on his enemies.

The last time he unleashed this power, the royal wizard had been terrified, his face pale with fear.

Yet, Su Nan remained unfazed, even displaying a nostalgic and wistful expression.

From his tone, it seemed he had encountered similar situations before.

But how was that possible?

Apart from him, could there be other humans on the continent who possessed divine power?

Su Nan quickly adapted to the oppressive aura surrounding him.

In his past life, he had faced countless similar scenarios.

Divine emissaries, divine children, demigods… even true gods, he had faced them all personally.

Compared to those formidable and terrifying beings, the current Ove was simply insignificant.

Su Nan could see that Ove was merely absorbing divine energy into his body and utilizing it.

He was essentially a semi-sacred artifact, his self-will and perception twisted by the mark of faith.

“True divine power is far beyond what you possess,”

Su Nan chuckled, not waiting for the bewildered Ove to ask any questions, he raised his hand and fired a magic missile, striking Ove.

However, the starlight surrounding the latter merely flickered slightly, obliterating the incoming magic missile.

Ove snapped out of his reverie, his face turning cold. He ripped off the star-shaped necklace around his neck, clenched it in his hand, and in an instant, starlight erupted from his palm, quickly condensing into a幽蓝 long spear.

*Swoosh!*

The幽蓝 spear tore through the void, accompanied by a piercing roar as it surged towards Su Nan.

However, Su Nan had already completed his second spell. He suddenly blurred, instantly splitting into eight copies, scattering in all directions.

*Mirror Image!*

One of the images was pierced by the幽蓝 spear, shattering and vanishing like a bubble.

“Illusions!”

Ove snorted coldly, taking out a star book. He slapped the book with his palm, an invisible wave instantly spread outwards, shattering and dissolving every copy of Su Nan, leaving only the original.

Su Nan didn’t mind. Seizing this opportunity, he had already cast *Agile*术, *Tough*术, and *Shield*术 on himself. At the same time, another spell was ready.

*Burning Ray!*

A fiery red beam of scorching heat struck Ove with lightning speed, but it was still blocked by the starlight surrounding him.

“It’s useless, you can’t hurt me,”

Ove said coldly.

After entering this state, his personality seemed to transform entirely, losing his previous composure and calmness.

Hearing this, Su Nan just scoffed and ignored him.

There was no such thing as invincible defense in this world.

No matter how strong a defense, it would have some kind of limit.

Either it had a cumulative damage limit, like the *Ultimate Protection*戒,

Or it had an instant damage limit, which required a large amount of energy to sustain, like the *Magic Emblem Core*.

No matter which it was, as long as the damage accumulated to a certain extent, it could be broken.

His mind racing, Su Nan had already thrown a high-grade rune gem, which transformed into a thunderbolt that roared towards Ove.

At the moment the thunder struck, the starlight on Ove suddenly brightened.

Although he ultimately managed to block the thunder, this display undoubtedly revealed a hint of something.

“So that’s how it is,” Su Nan’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, “This thing of yours must consume a lot of divine grace, right?”

Ove’s face was gloomy, “So what? Can you last until I exhaust my divine grace?”

As he spoke, his hand was already pressing on the star book again.

The surrounding stars suddenly buzzed, then fell down one after another, attacking Su Nan in a torrential downpour.

Su Nan’s figure flickered, dodging the attacks while quickly throwing high-grade rune gems to retaliate.

The battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

Both sides exchanged blows, attacking each other while desperately trying to dodge each other’s attacks, minimizing the damage they received, their survival depending on who would crack first.

For this, Ove was confident.

The last time he killed the royal wizard, he only used seven or eight years’ worth of accumulated divine grace.

Currently, he still had nearly forty years’ worth of divine grace left. Even if Su Nan was stronger than the royal wizard, it would be more than enough to exhaust him!

But as time passed, Ove’s expression gradually became uneasy.

In just five or six minutes, Su Nan had already endured five *Starfall* attacks and seven *Star Spear* attacks, yet why did he still show no signs of exhaustion?

How many magic items did this guy have on him?

Ove wasn’t completely ignorant of magic items. According to his estimation, even if Su Nan was carrying thirty or forty alchemical-grade magic items on him, they should have been depleted by now.

Could it be that Su Nan also had glimmer-grade protective magic items?

And not just one?

Just as Ove was filled with fear, four gigantic gray claws suddenly appeared out of thin air, grabbing towards him, aimed at his head.

Ove was startled.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of getting hurt. With the protection of starlight, the gray claws couldn’t harm him.

What startled him was that these four gray claws had directly drained nearly four years’ worth of his divine grace!

“The power of this is definitely beyond glimmer-grade!”

Ove was horrified.

The next second, more gray claws appeared around him.

This time, there were six!

Ove’s face turned green.

He wanted to dodge, but the gray claws clung to him like a leech, relentlessly pursuing him. In the end, nearly six years of his divine grace were consumed.

In just a short while, the divine grace he had left was only seven or eight years’ worth!

Ove suddenly realized that the high-intensity attacks and defenses had already consumed a large amount of his divine grace.

Looking at Su Nan, he still had an unperturbed expression.

“How many tricks does this guy have up his sleeve?”

Ove felt a sense of foreboding for the first time.

Seeing his expression, Su Nan chuckled inwardly.

He had ten *Ultimate Protection* 戒 on him, and only seven had been used so far. He still had three left.

Even if the *Ultimate Protection* 戒 ran out, he still had the *Magic Emblem Core*.

In fact, if he hadn’t wanted to save his spiritual power to use the *Magic Emblem Core* for defense, his offensive could have been even more intense.

The *Disaster* 戒 had indeed been used up, but he had prepared a sufficient amount of high-grade rune gems for this mission. He still had twenty or more in his space ring. He could pile them on and suffocate Ove to death.

In a battle of attrition, he wasn’t afraid of anyone!

With a flick of his wrist, three high-grade rune gems appeared in Su Nan’s palm. Without a word, he threw them out.

In an instant, flames, thunder, and hurricane engulfed Ove!

*Crack!*

The surrounding star domain could no longer hold its ground and shattered with a roar.

Su Nan felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the next moment he was back in the night sky.

Looking at Ove, he had transformed into a ball of starlight, swiftly fleeing into the distance.

The previous strike had consumed more than four years of Ove’s divine grace and completely crushed his fighting spirit.

By now, he had realized that he was no match for Su Nan. If he continued fighting, the moment his divine grace was exhausted, it would be his death.

While he still had a bit of divine grace left, he should run away.

As long as he could return to the church headquarters in Giantwood City, he would still have a chance to rise again!

Unfortunately, his thoughts were destined to be mere wishful thinking.

Before he could escape far, a scorching sensation suddenly came from behind.

Ove turned his head in horror, and what he saw was a surging wave of flames mixed with the smell of sulfur!

*Buzz!*

The starlight surrounding Ove erupted, instantly annihilating the flames. But the next second, a giant beast, resembling both a dragon and a lizard, clawed and bared its teeth, pouncing towards him. The man and beast struggled, crashing towards the ground like a meteor.

“Damn it!”

Ove was both horrified and furious. He condensed a *Star Spear* and aimed it at the beast on him, but just as he made a move, the beast suddenly released him and retreated.

Ove was slightly stunned, a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and sure enough, he immediately saw a torrential storm of silver metal assaulting him.

*Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!*

Countless spikes rained down like a hailstorm, striking Ove’s body, causing his starlight to flicker erratically.

After sustaining two or three breaths, the starlight finally shattered, and the dense spikes instantly pierced through Ove’s body.

The grand priest of the *Starfire Sect* instantly turned into a bloody mess!

“Wait”

He only managed to utter a short syllable before being shredded into a bloody mist.

The silver light flickered and vanished, leaving the night silent once again.

Su Nan slowly landed on the ground, glanced at the *Stealth Dragon*, seeing that it was unharmed, he felt relieved. He then turned his attention to the objects that had fallen on the ground.

A book and a star-shaped necklace.

Using *Master’s Hand*, Su Nan collected the book and necklace. He focused and sensed them, nodding secretly.

The divine grace contained in this star book was at least four or five times that of the one he had obtained from Yensen.

It made sense, after all, it was the sacred artifact wielded by the grand priest, and its power far surpassed the previous one.

The divine grace contained in the star-shaped necklace was less, comparable to the previous star book.

“The divine grace extracted from these two sacred artifacts, combined with the previous ones, should be enough to synthesize completely unpolluted pure energy,”

Thinking that he would soon be able to increase his spiritual power, Su Nan’s mood immediately improved.

The pain of having spent tens of thousands of gold coins on high-grade rune gems during the battle also eased a bit.

After collecting his things, Su Nan reapplied *Levitation*術 and flew towards the lord’s mansion.

Inside the lord’s mansion, the battle continued.

With the blessing of starlight, the *Starfire Sect* members unleashed formidable fighting prowess. Cooperating with the soldiers who rushed in from outside to support them, they had turned the tables and firmly suppressed the magic puppet creatures.

On the other side, although Brack and Yoris couldn’t defeat the legendary two-ring spider puppet, they relied on the power of their sacred artifacts and didn’t have to worry about being defeated in the short term.

The situation was developing for the better.

However, Earl Holan’s heart was still hanging, unable to relax, and he would occasionally look up towards the direction where Su Nan and Ove had left.

He knew very well that the outcome here was insignificant. The real key was the outcome of the battle between Su Nan and Ove.

As long as Ove killed Su Nan, the magic puppet creatures here would be nothing to fear.

But once Su Nan won, then everyone present would be facing a disaster tonight.

Seeing Earl Holan’s furrowed brows, Casper whispered beside him, “My Lord, don’t worry, with Grand Priest personally taking action, there’s definitely no problem!”

Casper’s tone was filled with strong confidence.

Outsiders weren’t aware, but they, the mid-to-high-ranking members of the *Starfire Sect*, knew that Grand Priest Ove had received divine favor and could wield divine power!

Even wizards wouldn’t be a match for a grand priest who was a divine favored one!

From the moment Su Nan didn’t immediately leave but chose to show himself, his fate had already been sealed.

“Once we eliminate Su Nan, Shining Light Territory will also be no threat. After suppressing the rebels, the sect’s missionary plans in Starsea Duchy will no longer face any obstacles, and the sect will usher in prosperity,”

Casper thought silently, a slight smile creeping across his lips.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from beside him.

“Someone is coming!”

Everyone immediately looked up, and sure enough, they saw the silhouette of a person flying towards them from afar.

As the distance closed, everyone gradually saw the person’s features clearly.

When they recognized the young face, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

Casper was even more pale, his voice hoarse with disbelief:

“Impossible! How could it be Su Nan?!”

“How could the Grand Priest lose?!”

Earl Holan had already forgotten Casper’s失态表现, from the moment Su Nan appeared in his field of vision, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his limbs icy cold.

Even Ove had been defeated, no one in the entire Holan Prefecture could stop Su Nan.

They were finished!

Intense regret instantly flooded his heart, and Earl Holan felt extremely remorseful.

If he had known that the *Starfire Sect* was so unreliable, he shouldn’t have rushed to join their side.

Even if he disobeyed the Grand Duke’s orders, at worst, he would be reprimanded and have some of his territory confiscated. How could it be like this now, where he had lost everything, including his life and his family?

What a regret!

Looking at Casper, whose face was pale beside him, Earl Holan suddenly flew into a rage. He swiftly drew the long sword at his waist and thrust it into Casper’s heart.

Casper was in a state of despair, completely unprepared for Earl Holan’s sudden attack. He was caught off guard and stabbed right through the heart. He looked at Earl Holan with a gaze filled with astonishment and anger.

“You, you”

He couldn’t finish his words before Earl Holan pulled out the sword and slashed his head off with a backhand.

Su Nan, who had landed on the ground, saw this scene and a playful expression appeared on his face.

In-fighting already?

*Clang!*

Earl Holan tossed away his weapon and squeezed out a smile towards Su Nan, “Mr. Su Nan, actually, there’s no need for us to get to this point. After all, we have no grievances with each other, right? It’s all the *Starfire Sect*’s fault. I can betray them and offer Holan Prefecture with both hands. I only beg you to spare me and my family!”

Su Nan looked at Earl Holan deeply and suddenly smiled slightly.

Upon seeing this, Earl Holan was overjoyed, thinking that Su Nan had agreed to his proposal, but the next second, a bolt of lightning pierced his forehead.

“Extinguishing you and your family, Holan Prefecture will still be ours, and it will be cleaner,”

As Earl Holan’s face filled with confusion and resentment, Su Nan said calmly.

Then, without even looking at the corpse that had fallen on the ground, he turned his gaze towards Yoris and Brack, who were swiftly fleeing towards the distance.

The moment Su Nan appeared, these two grand priests of the *Starfire Sect* had not hesitated to abandon their followers and turn to flee.

Unfortunately, Su Nan had already anticipated this.

Before they could escape far, they were intercepted by the *Stealth Dragon*.

The *Double-Bladed Spider* quickly followed suit.

Two two-ring legends against two one-ring legends, the outcome was obvious.

Su Nan retracted his gaze and began to clean up the battlefield.

The night grew even darker.

Moments later, Su Nan calmly walked out of the lord’s mansion. He glanced at the dark silence behind him, leaped into the air, and quickly disappeared into the night.
