Chapter 319 Mo Fan Ventures into the Divine Mountain, Darkness Envelops - The Golden Titan Descends
Surrounding them were countless Parthenon devotees and clergy, their eyes filled with doubt, anger, and even... hatred.

On the high platform, an elder with a stern face was reading out a lengthy and accusatory statement.

"...Saintess Panija, with a benevolent heart and virtuous character, bestowed blessings upon all living beings...However, candidate Saintess Ye Xinxia harbored wicked intentions, repaying kindness with enmity...In the Divine Calendar...cruelly murdered...the evidence is irrefutable..."

"Bullshit!" A furious roar came from afar!

"Who would dare to lay a finger on a single hair of Xia's head..."

"I'll tear down this dilapidated temple of yours today!"

Mo Fan was still far from the sacred mountain, but his voice echoed throughout the entire holy mountain.

In the center of the square, Ye Xinxia, ​​who was bound to a wheelchair by sacred chains, suddenly trembled!
She struggled to lift her head, her clear eyes instantly filled with unbelievable surprise, which was then replaced by deeper worry!

She saw that familiar figure standing alone at the entrance to the mountain path of the sacred mountain.

"Brother Mo Fan...no..."

She understood better than anyone the chaos and danger Parthenon was in, and she knew that Mo Fan's actions were tantamount to venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair alone!

However, at the entrance to the mountain path, Mo Fan could only see the frail figure bound by chains.

The deep worry in Xinxia's eyes was like the most intense fuel, making the anger in his heart burn even more violently!
But he was not completely consumed by anger.

"Xinxia, ​​wait for me!" Mo Fan roared in his heart.

He may be arrogant, but he's not stupid!
Before he arrived, he had already learned about some of the "traditional" rules of the Parthenon through Lingling—especially during the special period before the candidates were finally convicted.

One of the rules is: anyone who has a deep bond with the candidate saintess, if they can rely on their own strength to pass through the "Star River Mountain Path" constructed by the will and protective power of the temple's powerful figures throughout the ages, and reach the summit of the goddess peak, will be qualified to meet the saintess, and even... raise objections in the presence of the elders!
This rule embodies Parthenon's proclaimed "sacred justice" and "proof of courage."

At this moment, however, it became Mo Fan's only lifeline to get close to Xin Xia and buy time!

At this moment, countless believers, knights, elders, and even the temple matriarch are watching from all sides of the sacred mountain. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Parthenon would never break the rules established over thousands of years!
This is his only chance!
A sharp glint flashed in Mo Fan's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he took a sudden step forward and boldly entered the Star River Mountain Path!

He was like a humanoid beast, swimming against the current in the magical storm.

Finally, after a bloody battle, he broke through numerous obstacles and reached the last formidable pass near the summit of the Star River Mountain Path—a precipice platform guarded by a powerful Silver Moon Titan giant!
This enormous rock giant, covered in a silvery sheen like moonlight, is like a war god from mythology, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression!

Its massive stone fist clenched, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, its eyes locked on the tiny Mo Fan, it let out a deep, thunderous roar, and took a step forward, causing the entire platform to tremble!

This is one of the ultimate barriers protecting the sacred mountain!

Mo Fan's eyes were solemn as he gathered the power of thunder and fire in his palm to its limit, preparing to face this final and most dangerous battle!
"Roar—!!!" The Silver Moon Titan let out a warlike roar, and its huge stone fist, with the force to shatter mountains and split the earth, smashed down on Mo Fan's head!

Mo Fan's pupils contracted, his muscles tensed, and he was about to launch a full-scale attack!

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Buzz!!!" Without warning, the entire sky above Mount Parthenon was plunged into absolute darkness!

It wasn't covered by dark clouds, nor was it nightfall!
Instead, a deep, ink-like darkness, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, instantly enveloped the entire sky!
The sacred golden sunlight, the soft starlight, and even the void purple light emanating from the Void Rift in the distance were all obscured by this sudden darkness!
The entire sacred mountain, from the temples at the summit to the plaza at the foot, was as if it had been plunged into a dark, deep sea, so dark that you couldn't see your own hand in front of your face!

An immense pressure, a thousand or even ten thousand times more terrifying than that of the Silvermoon Titan, filled with antiquity, savagery, hatred, and destruction, emanated from afar.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy footsteps made the sacred mountain tremble violently with each step, and rocks tumbled down!

The darkness that shrouded the sky seemed to come alive, converging towards the center!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying figure, so enormous that it obscured everyone's view and shrouded in churning black mist, slowly descended from the center of the dark vortex!

Its size far exceeds that of the Silvermoon Titan!

The silhouette alone exudes a despairing sense of oppression!

Amidst the churning black mist, one could vaguely see a thick suit of dark gold armor covered with ancient war scars and eerie runes!
As the dark figure descended, the Silver Moon Titan, who was about to smash Mo Fan to pieces with a single punch, became incredibly sluggish!
The silver light in his eyes flashed intensely, revealing a kind of instinctive fear and awe that came from the depths of his blood!
Its raised stone fist froze in mid-air, as if it had lost all its power, and its massive body trembled slightly before ceasing its movement!
"What...what kind of monster is that?!" a believer screamed in the square.

When the swirling black mist that shrouded the figure dissipated slightly, revealing part of its true form.

All the Parthenon high-ranking officials who saw it clearly, including the dignified Queen Mother Pamis, who sat on the high platform, turned ashen-faced in an instant, their eyes filled with unprecedented horror and disbelief!

The dark gold armor, covered in mysterious runes…

That physique, as imposing as a mountain, yet carrying a rhythm of destruction…

“Golden…Golden Titan!!!” A Golden Knight cried out in shock, his voice filled with the terror of a collapsing faith!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Another elder stood up in disarray, pointing to the sky, his fingers trembling violently.

"The Golden Titans... were utterly annihilated long ago by the Holy Army led by the First Goddess of Parthenon! Their divine blood has long since dried up, and their totems have long been trampled! They... should have been extinct by now!"

Parthenon and the Titans, especially the "Golden Titans" who symbolize the supreme power and status of the Titan race, have a hatred that is etched into each other's very bones!

Who would have thought?

Who could have predicted it?
Just as the Parthenon was embroiled in a power vacuum and a crisis of trust due to the mishaps of all four candidates for sainthood, and was plagued by internal chaos and unable to cope with its own problems...

Against the backdrop of an apocalyptic world where the entire European continent is ravaged by void creatures, holy cities have fallen, and fear grips the people…

This golden titan, which should only exist in ancient murals and forbidden books and symbolizes the ultimate power of Parthenon's nemesis, has actually descended, carrying dark power and hatred that seeks to destroy everything!

Its goal is self-evident!
