The Temple was the only shrine's here. The Sky Islands have no earth, no trees, no stones, and all the buildings and roads are built by Island Clouds. To their side, there is an upturned room made entirely of Island Clouds and painted with an unknown red paint. The walls are carved with strange murals of people with huge wings and beaks, flying in a thunderous sky.
As there was no place to go, Mark walked inside.
Noticing his movements, the soldiers outside the shrine became anxious.
"No! He is going inside the Temple!"
"What about Divine Servent? Quickly call the Divine Servant here!"
"Divine Servant Sama is out! He will only come back in the afternoon!"
This shrine is the Holy Land for all Birka people. To them, its status is the same as that of the Shandas have for "City Of Gold" Shandora and the Celestial Dragons have for "Holy Land" Mary Geoise. Without permission, they would not even dare not step in it as their King would cut off their heads!
Only God's Officer and Divine Servant can clean up the temple and worship God...
As Mark walked inside the shrine he kicked the door with "Bang" and glanced at the layout, and couldn't help but turn his eyes.
He saw inside the shrine was a statue that resembled both a bird and a human. It had three heads, six arms, and a body made entirely of gold. There were three items in its hands; a golden trident, a golden drum, and a prayer bead. Apart from this, there was also a table covered in red cloth in front of it.
A golden dish filled with offerings was placed on top of it, together with the golden cauldrons that stood on both of its sides, there was also a golden circle placed in the middle for the worshipers.
But Mark focus is not on the huge amount of gold, but rather on the statue sitting cross-legged with its hands holding.
A round sky-blue fruit,
It was a devil fruit...
He didn't Know what kinda of devil fruit!!!
Just as Mark trying to grab the fruit, a sigh echoed in the empty Temple.
"Such blasphemy, leave!"
Boom!!!
Contrary to the sigh, a terrible Sound Explosion appeared instantly and it was deafening!
Mark finger was only three centimeters away from the devil fruit.
As he was about to get it in his hand, he even felt a powerful impact directly hit him at the waist!
"Puff----!"
After vomiting a pool of blood in the air, Mark flew out without resistance and heavily hit the wall made of clouds and fell after a second of stagnation. He curled up in pain and grabbed the ground with his head.
Such force, he has never felt in his life before!
He used to fight with people and would normally get punched on various parts of his body, so he was not unfamiliar with the concept of pain.
But this time, however, his bones were "Creaking", making his eyes wide, his forehead was getting filled with cold sweat and drool dripped down from the corners of his mouth.
"... God left a divine decree, this fruit will bring great power but it will also bring irreparable disaster at the same time.
An old man in the grey robe, with his shiny forehead and chicken wings on his back, stepped out of the corner of the temple, looking neither sad nor pleased. He was not angered by Rowen's offense, nor is he pleased by the effectiveness of his attack, he was as calm as water.
As he spoke, he walked up to Mark who was still curled up on the ground and stood beside him. The old man then raised his palm and pointed it towards Mark. At the center of his palm, there was a Scarlet Red Shell tied to his hand with a rope. The attack just now had come from this same shell.
This is one of the Sky Island's specialties, the Impact Dial.
This Impact Dial can absorb the impact of the outside into the shell, one just need to press the switch to launch it when needed, and an overwhelming attack would burst out of the Impact Dial!
Judging from the fact that the soldiers outside did not dare to approach it, this shrine must have a special status. Being able to hold an Impact Dial inside the shrine, there is no doubt about this old man have a high status, the Impact Dial he used must be a top-level product, ordinary Impact Dial can never launch an impact power that is this powerful!
Not being directly blown to death by the impact is already proof that Mark physical strength is different from ordinary people.
"You came to this place with that fruit as your target; this proves that you know what it is….But it does not belong to you, Blue Sea-Dweller. So ..."
MARK suddenly sneered, as He laugh mocking at the old man giving the latter a ominous premonition. The expressions on the Old Man's face suddenly changed and he began to frown and said.
"Why are you laughing?!"
"I'm laughing at what you said ... you old thing."
Mark raised his head, with blood at the corner of his mouth and he spits out bloody sputum before saying: "The fruit you said just now? Is this what you were talking about?"
While talking, he loosened his hands, and a sky blue fruit fell to the ground, rolling all the way to the old man's feet. The fruit had an obvious tooth mark in it, and there was a trace of blood between the flesh.
"Not good!!"
Suddenly, the old man's pupils contracted suddenly and he looked back.
The statue is still sitting cross-legged, with a natural look. But the devil fruit in its palm has disappeared!
