Therefore, this Holier-Than-Thou chruch is often considered as the true primary villain of the whole series by many Chinese fans. The foremost thing is that the members of the church are the driven force of the murder of House Baruch and the mastermind of King Clayde's heinous crimes. The church captured pure hearted souls and sacrificed them to please their god, the Radiant Sovereign.

It is also the primary and final antagonistic faction in its comic adaptation, as the comic versions ended after the War of Parley. It served as the main antagonistic faction from volume 7 to volume 12. However, the Radiant Church is soon revealed to be the most pivotal antagonistic faction of the series. It is a holy church of brightness opposed to the Cult of Shadows. The Radiant Church (simplified Chinese: 光明教廷, the Brightness Church) is a church on Yulan Continent, and the main antagonistic faction of the Chinese fantasy novel Coiling Dragon series and its comic adaptation.

~ Linley Baruch sworn revenge on the Radiant Church, the true murderers of his parents. There will come a day when I will pull you out by the roots. This was all due to the Radiant Church!!! Radiant, radiant, haha! The Radiant Church is radiant? If it was radiant, then why would they murder people with pure, innocent souls and offer them to the Radiant Sovereign? Radiant Church, just wait.
