Within the stone temple, pieces of stone were falling from the statue in front while it slowly stood up.

Lin Sheng also heard the noise behind him. He looked back quickly and saw that the green pool was boiling violently.

Many pale arms were slowly floating up.

A huge face, made up of countless arms, was slowly rising from the bottom of the pool.

The pale arms were waving and swimming out of the pool in all directions.

The arms were like countless white worms, detaching themselves from the human face one after another and occupying the entire surrounding space.

Soon, the hole behind him was blocked by a large number of arms.

The arms stopped at the hole and did not enter. They looked like they were blocking Lin Sheng’s retreat and also seemed to fear the situation in the stone temple.

Lin Sheng stabilized himself and looked straight ahead.

The giant stone statue slowly stepped down from its chair, the green glow in its eyes burning like flames.

It suddenly raised the huge ax, and a silver light flashed across its edge.

Then, more and more silver rays emerged from the surrounding out of thin air and shot into the ax.

The silver rays on the ax grew brighter and sharper.

A weirdly familiar atmosphere quickly spread and instantly filled the whole stone hall. It reminded Lin Sheng of something.

“It feels like... Could it be...?!”

“In the name of God.” Suddenly, a dull and loud male voice sounded in the stone palace.

“F*ck!! Ashen Seal!” In a split second, it froze Lin Sheng’s blood, and he recalled what it felt like.

There was no time to think. The holy power within him rose rapidly, and at the same time, his body was partially dragonized, lunging sideways.

“KADUYA (judgment)!” A loud roar reverberated in the air.

The huge ax, held aloft in the air, fell sharply.

*Swoosh!*

A circle of silver halo instantly spread out in all directions.

Everywhere the silver halo went, everything split in two.

Lin Sheng was still in the air. The heavy armor he was wearing cracked and fell to pieces of black dust.

The sword in his hand also cracked and broke into pieces.

*Bang!*

Lin Sheng fell hard to the ground. His body was covered by a thin layer of soft white light while two Ashen Seals emerged from the white light on his chest.

The statue put down the ax and was about to go toward Lin Sheng.

Suddenly, white light and the Ashen Seals emerged from Lin Sheng’s body. The statue stopped slightly, turned around, pounded heavily back to the stone chair, and sat down.

Soon everything was back to normal as if the statue hadn’t moved at all.

Lin Sheng struggled to get up from the ground.

As soon as he got to his feet, his entire armor crumbled and fell to the ground.

The silver halo seemed to have the most overbearing force. If it wasn’t for the great immunity of Ashen Seals and holy power to the same source of power, the situation would be really bad...

“Is it because it sees the holy power and the Ashen Seals in me?” Lin Sheng guessed, otherwise it would not let him go so easily.

“It is also a stone statue driven by holy power, but the gray angel didn’t have such preferential treatment.” Lin Sheng shook the pieces off the body, wearing a layer of white holy power, began to move around the statue.

He tried to remove the holy power from the surface of his skin.

*Crack!*

The statue moved!

It startled him so he quickly activated the holy power again.

After a while, the statue sat there quietly. Lin Sheng then removed the holy power on him again.

*Crack!*

The statue moved again!

After trying a dozen times in a row, Lin Sheng found that as long as he removed the holy power, the stone would see him as an intruder, and immediately woke up.

“Interesting.”

Once he knew what to do, Lin Sheng now focused on exploration.

Time was running out for him, and he hoped he could get some real help from this place.

“The force just now seems to be the ability to produce Ashen Seals. The kind of waves it produces is almost exactly the same as my Ashen Seal – Sanctuary and Furious Roar. Is it possible that this stone statue is also engraved with Ashen Seals?”

Lin Sheng wandered around and found nothing in the stone temple, so he refocused on the stone statue.

He moved closer to the statue and looked closely at the huge double-edged ax in its hand.

The statue maintained the posture of holding the ax flat on its knees. His hands rested lightly on the handle of the ax, his eyes closed.

Lin Sheng reached out and touched the hands of the statue.

Cold, hard. It was nothing more than an ordinary stone statue.

He reached out and patted its arm. Still no response. Lin Sheng quickly searched around the statue.

But after searching for a while, nothing was found. Then his eyes fell on the huge ax in the hands of the statue.

Lin Sheng thought for a moment, reached out and gently grasped the handle of the ax, then slowly pulled it out of the stone statue.

“Cool!” He took the ax in both hands and retreated slowly to the entrance of the stone temple.

Outside the hole, pale hands wriggled everywhere like worms.

Carrying the double-bladed ax with all the strength he had, Lin Sheng looked at the wriggling pale hands outside the hole. Through the cracks between the pale hands, he could clearly see the huge, eerie face floating on the water.

“Now that I have this ax in my hand, maybe I can try?” Lin Sheng looked at the wriggling arms and thought. He was not sure if it worked, but he should give it a try.

He recalled the spell the statue had just roared out.

He, too, had the holy power in him, mimicking the spell might bring the same effect.

Lin Sheng looked back at the statue. The statue must also have holy power within it, otherwise, it would not have been able to use the Ashen Seal.

“Let’s try it on the thousand-limb-faced monster.” He made up his mind. With the ax in hand, he was not afraid of the monster.

Standing at the hole, he grasped the ax with both hands and struck hard at the arms blocking the hole.

“KADUYA!!”

The ax cut into the arms easily like cutting tofu. Soon, all the arms were cut in half.

And the broken arms clattered to the ground.
