Chapter 320 The Vulnerable Parthenon

The Golden Titan, with its ancient demonic form, descended with overwhelming darkness and deep-seated hatred, embodying a power that devours light.

The terrifying pressure it brought instantly seized every beating heart on the sacred mountain, pulling all eyes that were originally focused on Mo Fan's challenge to this suffocating darkness that covered the sky!

Parthenon is in crisis!

Faced with this catastrophic disaster, personal grudges, conflicts among the saintesses, and even the rules for venturing into the mountain all seem insignificant and laughable.

Faced with the oppressive aura of an ancient god of imperial power, a primal fear, stemming from their very life instincts, began to fester deep within their souls.

"Enemy attack—!!! High alert!!!"

A roar exploded instantly, forcefully suppressing the pervasive panic!

The one who spoke was none other than Heron, the Lord of the Knights' Hall of the Parthenon's armed forces!

He was clad in dazzling golden holy armor, his face as resolute as a rock, and although his eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity, he showed no sign of backing down!
His tall figure stood at the forefront of the trial square, his voice booming and echoing throughout the entire sacred mountain:
"Knights! Hear my command! Abandon all internal affairs! Primary objective—Guardian Mountain!!"

"Activate the highest defense sequence! All Gold Knights, using the Holy Radiance Medal as a node, construct the 'Divine Realm Barrier'!"

"Quickly! For the glory of the Parthenon!"

Upon hearing Hailong's voice, the Golden Knights suppressed their fear of the dark giant shadow!
They quickly dispersed, rushing towards the pre-set magical nodes throughout the sacred mountain.

Each Golden Knight raised the Holy Radiance Medal, a symbol of oath and power, high on their chest, pouring their immense strength into it!
"Buzz—buzz buzz buzz—!!!"

One after another, beams of holy light, azure blue mixed with silver radiance, shot into the sky from every corner of the sacred mountain!

They intertwined and connected in the sky, quickly weaving into a huge blue-silver net of light that covered the entire Parthenon and even parts of Athens below!
Above the light network, countless complex and profound divine runes flickered and flowed, exuding an indestructible and profound aura!

This is the ultimate defensive barrier that the Parthenon Temple has been proud of for thousands of years—the Divine Barrier!
It is said that its power source is directly connected to the earth veins and the power of faith of Goddess Peak, and at its peak it could even withstand the full force of an emperor's attack!
Just as the "Divine Realm Barrier" was barely formed, the Golden Titan shrouded in churning black mist in the sky above moved!
It loathed the "firefly light" emanating the Parthenon's sacred glow beneath its feet.

A gigantic hand, large enough to cover half the mountain peak, slowly emerged from the black mist.

With his fingers slightly bent, he held a ball of dark energy compressed to its limit and gently pressed it down towards the blue-silver light screen.

"Thump—!!!"

The moment the giant hand made contact with the "divine barrier," a muffled and terrifying roar was heard!
The entire Parthenon, like a sand table model held in the hands of a giant, began to tremble violently!
The mountain groaned under the weight, the magnificent palace trembled, and cracks appeared on the exquisite reliefs and stone pillars!

People in the square lost their footing and fell in droves, their screams drowned out by the deafening crashes and the wailing of the mountain!

The seemingly indestructible blue-silver light screen emitted a teeth-grinding "creak" sound under the pressure of the giant hand!

Centered on the point where the palm lands, the entire light screen visibly concaves downwards in a huge, twisted arc!

"Click...click..."

The incredibly clear and crisp sound pierced everyone's ears!

Countless thick cracks, shimmering with black light, quickly appeared on the blue-silver light screen. The opponent had only used one strike!
The Parthenon's "divine barrier" is on the verge of collapse!
"Pfft—!" As the main node, Hailong was struck hard. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the golden armor on his chest. He staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief!
He could feel the power of the barrier rapidly dissipating!
On the high platform, the expression of the dignified and composed Temple Mother Pamishi and several white-haired elders changed completely!
"How is that possible... one hit and..."

"The power... is on a completely different level... Is this the true power of the ancient Golden Titan?"

"Damn it! If the goddess could summon 'divine grace,' the barrier would not be so fragile!" Temple Mother Pamis thought to herself.

Without the goddess, Parthenon is like a giant without a heart, possessing a huge body and heritage, but unable to mobilize the most core power!
Many supreme divine spells that require the authority of a goddess to perform have now become mere illusions!
"Knights! We must not retreat!" Hailong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to steady himself.

Above the golden Titan in the sky, amidst the churning black mist, a faint yet disdainful snort seemed to emanate.

It was as if it were mocking the ant's last struggle.

Its giant hand, which was pressing down on the barrier, suddenly clenched its five fingers!

An even more terrifying power surged into his palm!

Then, the second palm struck down with a thunderous roar!
"boom!!!!!!!"

It was as if the sky itself had collapsed!
The "Divine Barrier" is like a crystal dome struck by a heavy hammer, utterly unable to withstand this absolute power!
Under the desperate gazes of all the Parthenon members, the blue-silver light screen, already covered with black cracks, let out a deafening wail and then exploded!
"Bang--!!!!!"

Hailong, who was on the main node, was sent flying backward and crashed into the side hall behind him, which had collapsed halfway!
The barrier has completely shattered!

Mount Parthenon, along with the main city it guards, was completely exposed to the cold, hateful, and destructive gaze of the Golden Titan!

The enormous figure in the black mist slowly descended.

Its gaze, as sharp as an abyss furnace, had locked onto those tiny, terrified "insects" at the summit, who had lost their last refuge.

"Knight! Keep your oath!" Hailong's voice rang out again.

"Ignite your chivalrous spirit! Merge your spirit and strength into one! For the people behind you! Chivalry, glory forever!"

Led by Hailong, the Golden Knights began to chant the ancient knightly oath.

Their lips, stained with blood and dust, moved:

"With my soul, may your eternal glory shine!"

"Where faith points, the blade will strike!"

"Glory...is my destiny!"

Accompanied by this vow of facing death without fear, a blazing power, like a holy flame being ignited, burst forth from the chests of every knight!
Golden beams of light shot into the sky.

By combining the power of chivalry, these golden knights can reach the level of forbidden spells.
