Chapter 567: Has the Holy Fortress been opened long ago?
"Tantine... is worthy of being the Sword of the Empire." Gustav couldn't help but sigh.
The Holy Fortress seems to be within reach, but in fact, it has nothing to do with them. They can only watch the Holy Fortress fall into the hands of the empire and spread the empire's reputation.
Anatoly was quite unwilling to accept it. "The empire's luck is too good."
"A waste of time..." The navigator looked up, his meaning unclear and his tone melancholy. The forger looked at him in confusion, and Flory was uneasy and silent.
He understood what the Navigator meant. He meant that everything the Pioneers had done, including the grand goal of trying to split the empire, was just a waste of time and had no meaning.
Just like the Holy Revolutionary Army suffered a severe blow some time ago and had to disappear.
Years of hard work were wiped out in the blink of an eye. The feeling of failure is indescribable.
But the Holy Revolutionary Army had experienced so many setbacks that he could adapt quickly.
However, ever since the Pioneers appeared, they have had insider information about the Blood-Damaged, and have been almost invincible, even until now...
"Did they really let them in?"
In the Holy Castle, Li Ming had already arrived here, forming a mimic body. The Supervisor was standing beside him. He was a little speechless. "This method of the other party is illegal, right? Can't we stop it?"
"Leonidas is the chosen one. Now that he has found the Holy Castle, he can naturally begin the King Trial. This is in the rules." The Overseer shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "There's nothing I can do."
"But those two guys broke in by force. Is there no way to deal with them?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown.
The Overseer explained, "The Holy Citadel is essentially a legacy left by the Overlords to those who come after them. It has its own rules. If one is powerful enough, breaking these rules is permitted. The Overlords would even welcome this."
"It does have the ability to kill from within, but it can only target the Yuan Clan."
"Unless you can become a true master, or a pure-blooded Titan."
Li Ming was helpless. This thing was left behind to fight against the Yuan clan. Except for his own son, the pure-blooded Titan, who had privileges, other races were treated equally. It would be the same for whoever got it, the stronger the better.
He didn't have too much resentment. After all, he got in by cheating.
You can't say that a rule is good only when it benefits you.
The Supervisor glanced at him and took the initiative to comfort him: "But you don't have to worry."
"You opened the door through the King Trial, raising your baseline authority. If they want to come in, they can only pass the King Trial, or use even greater power to force their way through. That guy is far from capable of that."
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. This is a good point.
But the most troublesome thing is that the coordinates here have been leaked, and the empire will definitely try every means to break in.
But he was temporarily unable to move the Holy Fortress. A target that could not move, no matter how hard it was, would eventually be opened.
Not to mention, the Empire's research on the Holy Castle is probably the most profound in the known universe.
"Maybe... I can find a way to delay some time..." He looked through the door at Tandin who was holding his fists.
The deep dimensional world is being broadcast in real time. If one finds a way to kill Tandin, it will probably make the Empire hesitant to act rashly and will also make others more wary of this place.
"However, if the [Power of the Titan] fails to kill him in one blow, he probably won't give me a chance to hit him a second time." He stared at Tandin's arm armor and the armor on his body, all of which were tailor-made for him by the Empire.
Powerful attack and defense, yet perfectly matched with his abilities, without causing reverse interference.
"The deep dimensional world is being broadcast live. If you can't kill it in one blow, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced."
Thinking of the deep dimensional world, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why does the Star of Eternal Silence reflect the scene here? Is it because of me?"
"It's because of you..." The Overseer nodded, "Because you opened the Diglas Holy Castle, and you are also the Submerged King. As an opportunity, you triggered the resonance between the Titan holy objects and built a connecting channel."
"Oh, so that's what it is..." He looked up at the floating ruined crown, "The two of them can resonate, interesting..."
Unexpectedly, the Overseer looked at him again, shook his head, and said, "Not only the Star of Eternal Silence and the Crown of Diglas, but there is also another object participating in the resonance."
Li Ming looked suspicious. The Overseer hadn't kept him in suspense. His mechanical pupils flickered, "The Eternal Holy Throne, and the Subconscious King born from it, are also nearby."
"What?" Li Ming was stunned.
In the deep dimensional world, the giant screen of time and space suddenly stretches to the distance.
The spiritual fluctuations that were dissipating in all directions stagnated again, and his gaze involuntarily focused on the black beam of light that crossed the fleet.
This black beam of light came extremely suddenly. When they saw it, it came from the edge of their vision. Countless demonic faces screaming in pain rolled on the surface of the beam of light.
Wherever it passed, the Imperial warships were like flies falling into amber, their adamantine armor carbonized into ash in a thousandth of a second, and their particle shields evaporated into nothingness before they even had time to ripple.
Even the ion fireballs that exploded were devoured and turned into nutrients for the extended light column.
The Imperial Fleet also had X-level life forms stationed outside. When they sensed the change, several figures immediately rushed over. After a split second of collision, they all flew back.
The power is almost unstoppable!
"Where did this tough guy come from?"
"It's so amazing, it seems like I've been waiting for a long time."
"Wow, there are still people who dare to snatch meat from the Empire? But how do we get in? Tandin's previous attack didn't even cause a ripple."
The dissipated spiritual fluctuations became agitated, and all eyes were fixed on the black beam of light.
Kostat's heart seemed to be tightened, but when he thought of the indestructible energy shield, he felt as if he had something to rely on.
However, under everyone's gaze, the black beam of light did not stop at all.
It crashed straight into the energy barrier, but the expected collision did not happen. Instead, it penetrated directly into it as if it were a perfect match.
…
"As expected, you're lucky. It's worth it for me to force you to be promoted to A-level."
Heckler looked at Leonidaq on the ground and was in a good mood. "I guessed right. The first goal of that energy beam was to protect you. That's why we were able to get in with you."
"Don't worry, I will give you everything I promised you. You will return and marry your wife with the blessing of an Imperial Prince."
Leonidas felt severe pain all over his body and was unable to speak. Suddenly, gray-black mist surged out from all around him, but dissipated after a moment.
A beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping him, and the scars on the surface of his skin began to repair.
"The Holy Castle has detected his condition and cannot conduct the King Trial. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until it's repaired before we can proceed." Heckler had anticipated this. "But it doesn't matter. We won't conduct the King Trial. No one can open the Holy Castle gates that way."
His gaze fell on the main building enveloped by energy, and everything was hazy.
"Is the trial to become a king... really that powerful?" Tandin couldn't help but ask.
"That is the most powerful trial for selecting the Titan King. It is extremely difficult. The challenge targets the Yuan Clan, and you have to fight sixteen of them at the same time."
Heckler explained, looking around, his eyes mainly focused on the prism column supporting the energy shield, as if thinking about how to break through it.
But at this moment, Tandin's face suddenly changed. He turned around and saw a crack in the energy shield.
The moment the black beam of light penetrated the energy barrier, the metal scales on Tandin's fist suddenly stood up collectively. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and punched.
Those reverse-growing spikes tore through layers of scarlet energy rings and collided violently with the oncoming torrent of annihilation.
It should have exploded with light brighter than a star, but there was an extremely powerful suppressive force inside the holy castle. The prism columns even emitted chains that absorbed all the aftermath.
Tandin retreated in doubt and the black light in front of him dissipated, revealing two burly figures, one big and one small. They were the Black King and Morris.
In the Black King's hand, he was holding a rough columnar weapon, which was not a common weapon.
"Giant species? Titan branch?" Heckler's face was gloomy. This sudden change disrupted all his thoughts.
"That is..." His eyes were fixed on the crimson crystal in the small giant's arms, which contained a beating heart.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
"Who are you?" Tandin asked in a deep voice, extremely alert.
This guy can actually compete with him, probably he has evolved to the limit on the road to the ultimate.
But he had never seen the other person in the known universe.
"Are you sure you want to fight the Empire for the Holy Castle?" Faced with the sudden change, Heckler felt uneasy and could only threaten.
"Struggle with the Empire?" The Black King was indifferent and sneered, "This holy fortress has long been opened."
"This... guy can get in too?" Li Ming pointed at the familiar black giant in the Holy Castle. "Did he cheat?"
"The heart of a pure-blooded Titan..." The Overseer's expression was extremely cold, with sparks of electricity flashing in his mechanical pupils. "The Holy Castle is just a dead object, thinking it is the arrival of a pure-blooded Titan."
"A pure-blooded Titan, with such high authority." Li Ming was speechless. "So, they were able to find this place because of that heart."
"The Holy Castle has been opened?" Under the giant screen of time and space, there was an uproar.
Anatoly couldn't help but look at Gustav, "We seem to have been active in the interstellar space, right?"
Gustav remained silent, just watching the conversation on the giant screen.
"Impossible... Impossible..." Costat shook his head and muttered to himself, unable to believe it. "This is the Holy Castle. How can it be opened at will?"
The noisy mental fluctuations transmitted various information in all directions. Everyone was equally surprised and analyzed the known information.
"This thing was opened? Who opened it? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Aren't you curious about who this black giant is? He can actually stand on equal footing with Tandin."
"What's important now is not who he is, but the Holy Castle. It's the Holy Castle, and it's already been opened!"
"You believe him when he says so?"
Heckler's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said in a deep voice, "Impossible! This holy fortress has only been revived for less than ten years. How could it have been opened by someone?"
The Black King just glanced at his face indifferently, and when he found this place, he realized that he was already one step too late.
Even though he had the heart of a pure-blooded Titan, he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't rush in until the guy he feared entered the Holy Castle and no one from the outside could stop him.
"Impossible? Morris, let them see it." He reached out and took the pure-blooded Titan's heart from Morris behind him.
Morris nodded and landed on the ground. Tandin and Heckler stared at him closely, neither of them making any rash moves.
Morris said calmly, "Where are the Overseers here? I need to undergo the Peak Transcendence Level Trial to become a King."
As soon as the words fell, gray-black mist rose out of thin air.
In an instant, it enveloped the surroundings and formed a ring in the center. Morris stood on the ring with a solemn and uneasy look on his face.
All around, gray and black fog intertwined, gradually outlining an unclear figure.
"No... How could the target of the trial be a human?" Heckler was shocked. It didn't match the information.
The Black King said calmly, "The King Trial has been updated. This person has passed the trial, and his life force is far greater than that of sixteen members of the same level of the Abyss Clan combined, so he has replaced the original challenge target."
More powerful than the sixteen Yuan clans combined?
Heckler was stunned and even more surprised. He couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"
Under the giant screen, Gustav frowned, and the others were also confused and surprised. They all heard the conversation just now.
I've already been shocked by the difficulty of the so-called trial to become a king. Let alone sixteen members of the Yuan clan, even defeating sixteen ordinary evolved beings of the same level is almost impossible. It's too abnormal.
But this figure, in the mouth of this life form that can compete with Tandin, is actually far more powerful than the sixteen Yuan people combined.
Morris subconsciously gathered energy and took a defensive stance. Various evolutionary features appeared on the surface of his body, and the aura he revealed was quite impressive.
"Peak transcendence level, corresponding to the X-level genetic evolution body with a development progress of 100%..." Gustav said abruptly.
X-level life forms that are quite familiar with the evolutionary system of the Terrax civilization have already been popularizing this concept, causing a sensation.
"Why does this life form seem stronger than me..." the Dwarf King muttered, "Could it be an X-class life form that hasn't even embarked on the path to ultimate perfection? Where did this abnormality come from?"
At the same time, everyone was even more curious about who the other figure on the stage was.
Fighting at the same level could actually make this abnormal evolutionary being so cautious, even fearful.
"But... I feel that his life force isn't that strong." Anatoly frowned.
However, at this moment, a flash of purple light was reflected in his eyes, and his pupils suddenly condensed into needles. His face was distorted with horror, and he screamed in shock: "How is this possible!"
Gustav's cheeks twitched violently, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Why, why!?" Costat's expression was extremely ugly, and he was even trembling slightly. Hidden in this question was a kind of fear and panic.
Not only was it different from what he had expected, he also felt a suffocating sensation as the stagnant water gradually swallowed him.
All roads were blocked and suffocating.
"As expected of you!" The navigator felt excited, while the people around him felt numb, as if the amount of information was too much and their brains were hurting.
Amidst gazes of shock, confusion, and fear.
On the giant screen of time and space, the human on the ring, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, had a purple light flashing in his hand, and a hammer that everyone was familiar with appeared.
Made in imitation of the Infinite Hammer, it is held by the Azure Dragon!
