” Who are you, Heathen? How dare you obstruct the knights of Punishment Order!?” Leo pulled out his sword shining with golden radiance as he pointed at the sky.
” Whoa, Calm down your temper a bit.” Jun Tianyun’s voice echoed as a suppressive aura burst out from above, falling on the knights like a mountain of oppressive force.
” Kheugkh!”
” Everyone! Gather…Together!”
” In the name of Lord!”
” In the name of Lord!”
Golden chains circled around all the order’s knights as as it created a barrier around them.
” Oh? That’s interesting.” Jun Tianyun felt a tinge of surprise when he saw that.
It wasn’t the regular aura a knight uses. It’s the aura mixed with a form of holy energy.
‘ I see, There is indeed a fundamental difference between ordinary knights and those who are affiliated with various powerhouses. And that’s the reason why knights of west was able to contend against the martial artists of east, despite having lesser advantages.’
With Jun Tianyun’s Eyes of Fortune, he could see that all the knights were connected by a thin strand of divinity.
Indeed, even for Xiantian Realm martial artists, controlling the force of nature and divine laws are very difficult. But how could these knights with lesser strength be able to use it?
‘ It’s blessings. Looks like the religions in this world isn’t that unresponsive as my previous world.’
‘ Their prayer has an obvious effect and they are blessed to be able to use divine laws. Although it’s power is one millionth of a regular one, it can create an edge over the martial artists.’
Besides Aura and Internal Energy, Knights and Martial Artists have an additional difference.
Martial Artists use their ‘Self’ and cultivate it till they achieve the ‘Dao’.
Meanwhile, Knights can only show their true potential under a blessing. As their faith remains strong, they remain resilient and walk on the path of Divinity instead of Grand Dao.

[ Duration: 2 hours]
Jun Tianyun easily analyzed the divine spell used by the knights with a single glance.
However, Even if he lost his divinity, the remnant pressure is enough to make these people waver like a dry leaf in a storm.
” You think that puny barrier is enough to stop my gaze? How foolish!”
*BOOOM! BOOOOOOM!*
The barrier rumbled violently as cracks spread across like spiderwebs. The knights of the Punishment Order felt the oppressive force increasing more and more, like a vice gripping their throat.
” Kneel!”
The mutants of the Fortune Charity Group were elated when they heard the booming voice. They instantly knelt, prostrating before the symbol of Jun Tianyun.
” All hail the Monarch of Heaven’s Fortune!”
” Great Lord, You really came here to save us!”
‘ Um, I wanted them to kneel though?’ Jun Tianyun mumbled inwardly when he saw that.
But not long after, the knights fell on their knees one by one. Leo and the Commander tried their best to stand still. However, Jun Tianyun’s voice was so thunderous and compelling that they couldn’t resist.
” Ugh! Wha-What are you?”
” The Radiant Church…Won’t forgive you!”
” Oh? You really think I fear those shiny wings and sprinkling starlights?”
” Apologize obediently and leave, else I won’t mind refining you into nourishment.”
A chill spread across the spines of the knights when they heard Jun Tianyun’s threat.
” I… I ask for forgiveness.”
” Leo!”
” Lord Leo!”
” Silence!”
Leo shouted as he got on his knees and bowed. ” I ask you… to allow us to leave.”
” Go, Those with ill intentions aren’t allowed here.” Jun Tianyun’s voice echoed as the suppression vanished.
The knights quickly got up and walked out.
” Why did you do that? If we waited…”
” You think you would have stayed alive till Inquisition Squad arrived?” Leo snorted when he heard that.
” The being that talked to us, do you think he is a mere mortal? Did none of you feel that monstrous pressure? Do you think that’s all his strength?”
Hearing Leo’s words, the other knights became silent.
” It’s better to return and report this event to Archbishop Seres.” The Captain nodded with a grave expression.
” Let’s hope they are not affiliated with Dark Pentagram.”
After they left, the remaining five knelt before the radiance.
” Thank you, Oh Lord. For saving us from those bastards.”
As they all raised their head, they saw Jun Tianyun sitting on the altar, looking at them.
” Did Evangeline send you here?”
” Great Young Lord! It’s you!”
A man knelt before Jun Tianyun when he revealed his true face. ” My name is Fredrick, and I am managing this place.
” Yes, Saintess sent seven apostles across the world, to spread the teachings of Heaven’s Secret Tower. Apostle Hester is currently outside. Otherwise, we could have fought against these intruders.”
Jun Tianyun remembered Hester was one of the A rank superhumans on Planet Gaia. After coming here, his rank should have decreased to B rank.
However, with Jun Tianyun and Shi Zhen’s help in technology and alchemy, those who come from Planet Gaia can now recover their previous strength.
‘ No wonder the faith I am gaining rapidly increasing day by day. Evangeline is really putting effort into making me a god.’ Jun Tianyun smacked his lips.
‘ Guess I need to give her some baptism after I return.’
” Alright, but you had better remain careful of them. Looking at you, Your strength feels pretty low.” Jun Tianyun frowned as he looked at them.
Waving his hands, he produced a large amount of pills and weapons.
” Take these pills and they will help you boost your strength and heal serious injuries. As for these weapons, these are all magical weapons. So, use it will caution.”
Although he was injured, Jun Tianyun kept practicing the art of alchemy and treasure refining. Although these products were of no use to him, it’s certainly treasured by others.
” This…So many treasures!”
” Great Lord, This is simply too much.”
” Take it as compensation.” Jun Tianyun waved his hand. ” On the other hand, bring me the report of all the powerhouses in the Federal States.”
” As you wish, Great Lord!” Frederick knelt before Jun Tianyun.

” Great Lord, There is one thing I wish to report about.” Frederick thought for a moment and replied.
” What is it?”
” Recently, there is something strange unearthed from an excavation site nearby. Then recently, the local church’s father and three priests have been killed.”
” There have also been reports of something eerie lurking around here, scaring the people in the night time. We used this chance to boost our influence. Not to mention, many people came here to pray for safety.”
” But it really turned into a double edged sword, attracting Radiant Church’s attention in the wrong way.” Frederick gave a wry smile.
” Interesting. I didn’t expect that.” Jun Tianyun rubbed his chin.
” Keep an eye over it. If anything happens, you know what to do.”
” I shall pray for the blessings, Great Lord!” Frederick bowed before Jun Tianyun.
Nodding off, Jun Tianyun vanished from his position. However, instead of returning back, he inspected the suspicious area.
His Eyes of Fortune shone as he looked for the anomaly. Good enough, he didn’t have to put in much effort.
