The illusion array set up by Margaret was
indeed clever.
For most martial arts grandmasters, once
trapped inside such an array, it was easy to lose their sense of direction.
And escaping it in a short time was nearly
impossible.
However, in the face of a top-level powerhouse
like God King Zeus, illusion arrays were no longer effective.
His divine sense and cultivation had already
surpassed the array’s limits.
Even if his eyes couldn’t see through it, he
could still break it forcefully.
Any array has a core and a foundation. Once
these are hit by a powerful force, they will be damaged.
When that happens, the array naturally
collapses.
This was exactly how God King Zeus dealt with
such situations --- brute force.
Once trapped, he didn’t bother to investigate
with divine sense; he would simply unleash his immense power and sweep
everything within hundreds of meters.
A single energy blast was usually enough to
destroy an array.
If once wasn’t enough, he’d do it a second
time.
With Zeus’s terrifying cultivation, no array
had ever withstood more than three of his strikes.
“Break!”
“Break!”
“Break again!”
With a wave of his hand, Zeus sent out waves of
energy, blasting indiscriminately in all directions.
Various arrays shattered one after another.
Zeus continued forward as he broke through the
formations.
Everywhere he passed looked like the aftermath
of a storm --- utter devastation.
Meanwhile, God Queen Hera followed behind
leisurely, looking relaxed and showing no intention of helping.
In this way, the two god-kings advanced up
Luoxia Mountain, destroying a large swath of forest and rocks before finally
reaching the summit.
Atop the mountain stood a grand and majestic
ancient temple.
In front of its gates stood dozens of martial
monks wielding staffs.
These were elite fighters from the Arhat Hall,
including two ultimate grandmaster-level experts.
As Zeus and Hera reached the summit, all the
monks grew alert.
"Please halt, benefactors," said a
middle-aged monk holding a vajra staff. "This is sacred Buddhist ground.
No violence is allowed. We ask that you leave at once."
"Hand over Logan Rhys, and you may
live," Zeus said coldly.
He didn’t take the monks seriously, but he did
sense a powerful energy near the temple.
It was similar to the Five Blood Fiend Array he
had felt earlier, but stronger.
“Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless.
Turn back and there is shore,” the monk advised. “Please do not commit more
bloodshed.”
“Enough nonsense! If you won’t hand him over,
then you all die!” Zeus growled.
His patience had completely run out.
The moment he acted, it would be a river of
blood.
“If you two insist on this path, then this
humble monk will have to stop you,” the middle-aged monk said, frowning.
“Stop me? With you baldies? Hmph! You
overestimate yourselves!”
Zeus had no interest in further words. He
raised his hand and pointed.
Zzzzz!
A streak of blue lightning shot out, aimed
directly at the monk’s chest.
With his strength, any average martial master
would be killed instantly.
Buzz~!
Just as the blue lightning was about to strike,
a flash of golden light appeared.
The lightning was instantly absorbed, vanishing
without a trace, as if it had sunk into a bottomless ocean.
“Hmm?”
Zeus raised an eyebrow, surprised.
That golden flash looked like a golden tower.
It appeared and disappeared in an instant.
What shocked him was that his lightning attack
had made no impact whatsoever — truly strange.
“Interesting,” Hera said with a smirk, finally
intrigued.
She had shown no interest in the previous
arrays, but this flash of golden light had caught her attention.
Big, beautiful, golden, and capable of absorbing energy --- if they could acquire it, it would be a superb defensive artifact.
“So, you had a treasure protecting you. No wonder you dared to stand here at the gate.”
Zeus narrowed his eyes. “But I want to see just
how many of my attacks this treasure can withstand.”
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and
spread his fingers wide, beginning to gather power.
A ball of blue electricity appeared in his
palm.
It started the size of an egg, but quickly grew
to the size of a basketball.
Electric arcs danced within it, containing
terrifying energy and an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“Break for me!”
Zeus hurled the lightning ball at the temple
gate with great force.
The ball shot forward like a cannon shell,
carrying tremendous destructive power.
Buzz~!
The massive golden pagoda appeared again, like
a mountain, enveloping the entire temple.
At the same time, Zeus’s lightning ball smashed
into the pagoda.
Boom!
With a loud bang.
The golden pagoda trembled slightly, but
quickly stabilized.
As for the lightning ball Zeus had thrown, most
of its energy was absorbed the moment it exploded.
The small portion that remained turned into a
gust of energy, blowing away from the temple.
“Hmm?”
The fifth failed attempt made Zeus frown.
At this moment, he finally realized --- this golden pagoda was no ordinary object. - Ton
