Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 324 The Nine Hidden Families and the Foundation of Parthenon

A hint of surprise flashed across the giant eyes of the Golden Titan.

He had been absolutely confident in the dark mist he had just casually unleashed.

In his perception, the two intertwined auras below were of different levels. One was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, posing no threat whatsoever; the other was wild and malevolent, but in the eyes of this mighty emperor, its energy level was no different from that of the panicked ants around it, at most... a slightly stronger insect.

Its attack wasn't because it sensed any threat; it was simply because it disliked that aura.

Although it was very weak, he still wanted to destroy it.

It had thought that once its mist passed, everything would fall silent.

However, reality deviated from its predictions.

Instead of turning to ashes in the mist, those two tiny figures burst forth with an extremely peculiar and destructive flame!

The nature of the flame subtly restrained the deathly stillness and annihilation power within the mist, stubbornly blocking its attack at the cost of an almost frenzied self-burning.

"Ok?"

A deep, thunderous groan erupted from its chest.

But at this moment, it had no time to delve into the situation there.

Because other troubles are already looming.

"Form ranks! For the glory of the temple!"

"Stop it at all costs!"

The knights of the Knights' Hall roared, and several super-rank knights had already regrouped and were closing in again.

Their breaths were connected, their magic intertwined, forming a battle formation halo far more powerful than the sum of their individual strengths, which bound and attacked the Golden Titan's limbs and torso layer by layer.

Although it is difficult to inflict a truly fatal wound, it greatly slows down its movements and depletes its strength.

High above in the distance, the two forbidden spellcasters also seized the opportunity and resolutely made their move.

The old man on the left was wearing a robe that seemed to be woven from thousands of stars. He held his hands in front of his chest, and an extremely complex three-dimensional magic circle was rapidly spinning and expanding between his palms.

Behind them, star palaces stood tall, quickly forming a divine palace.

"Starfall Vortex!" A powerful forbidden spell pressed down on him.

The old woman on the right, her thin body almost blended into the gnarled ancient wooden staff at her feet, uttered obscure and ancient syllables.

Starting from the point where she struck with her staff, visible gray-white ripples spread wildly, and wherever they passed, whether it was the hard boulders paved in the square, the scattered building ruins, or even the dust floating in the air, they all instantly lost their vitality and color.

"Dust returns to the sunflower!"

When two elders from a reclusive family unleash their forbidden spells together, it becomes a truly forbidden technique capable of rewriting the terrain and annihilating all living beings!
Even a powerful being like the Golden Titan cannot be careless in the face of this destructive energy.

Its massive body shuddered violently, and the dark mist that had been spreading wildly and devouring light around it surged back and receded at an unprecedented speed. It was no longer an extension of the attack, but transformed into an extremely dense barrier of darkness, protecting it fiercely.

However, the forbidden spells invoked by the two elders intertwined and entangled, forming a more terrifying compound forbidden spell effect, like an invisible giant net that firmly trapped them.

“Buzz—Boom!!”

A massive amount of dark mist and the complex forbidden spell collided violently.

The vast and incomparable mist was being evaporated and torn apart at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Its towering body was uncontrollably thrown backward step by step by this tremendous force!

These two veteran forbidden spell masters possess strength and experience far exceeding that of ordinary forbidden spell casters. They can not only cast forbidden spells individually, but they can even repel an Emperor-level Golden Titan.

Meanwhile, the temple matriarch Pamis, who was watching the battle from a high place in the temple, had a face ashen and no longer showed any of her usual compassion and composure.

The authority of the entire Parthenon is being trampled upon like never before.

She knew that it was now her turn to step forward and stabilize the situation.

The power structure of the Parthenon was complex and subtle.

On the surface, the goddess holds a supreme position, ruling over the three major halls: the Knights' Hall, the Judgment Hall, and the Faith Hall. She is the dual leader, both in spirit and in substance.

She, as the temple matriarch, is more like a manager and guardian under the halo of a goddess.

However, all the successive temple matriarchs came from reclusive families, and what they truly controlled were the nine reclusive families behind their temples.

This force is usually hidden, but once it is unleashed, its influence and destructive power are no less than the three main halls that are openly visible!
The two forbidden spell elders who are making their move right now come from two of these ancient families, representing the true foundation of the Temple Mother lineage.

"We can't wait any longer!" A fierce and decisive glint flashed in the eyes of the temple mother. There had been too many changes today, completely beyond her expectations and control.

This Golden Titan must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise how will Parthenon save face?

Her own authority will also be questioned.

"Make your move and annihilate this fiend here!"

With her command, more hidden family forces began to be mobilized, and an invisible killing net was slowly tightening towards the Golden Titan.

The Golden Titan was forced back by these two attacks, and the forbidden spell tore apart the dark mist protecting its body.

With a deafening crash, as if a giant metal pillar had been forcibly snapped, a terrifying gap was blasted open in its indestructible body!

Blood spurted out, the body became dull and broken, and wisps of destructive energy swirled around it.

The intense pain transformed into a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The Golden Titan locked its gaze on the two elders in the distance, whose auras were slightly sluggish due to the casting of a forbidden spell, and its terrifying imperial might once again coalesced.

It will seize this fleeting moment to retaliate with the most ferocious power and crush the two of them completely!

However, the Parthenon's history is not that simple!
Without giving it any chance to breathe, the fluctuations of the third forbidden spell had already soared into the sky!

This time, it didn't come from the sky, but from the earth, from the distant Aegean Sea that seemed to resonate with it!
"Boom--!"

The endless seawater surged backward against the heavens, as if the entire ocean had been seized by an invisible giant hand, transforming into a giant waterspout connecting heaven and earth!
It was an old man who had been following the temple's mother who made the move.

"The abyss has been overturned!"

This world-destroying tide surged upwards, crashing head-on into the Golden Titan that was about to unleash its power!

"Boom!!!"

The Golden Titan's counterattack, which was only halfway gathered, was forcibly interrupted and shattered by this overwhelming force!
Its massive, wounded body could no longer hold its ground in the face of this terrifying impact, and it was uncontrollably pushed off the ground, retreating step by step!

Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, this arrogant emperor-level being was actually forced out of the sacred domain where Mount Parthenon was located by this world-defying tide!

The Parthenon truly lives up to its reputation as one of the world's top heritage sites.

They displayed unparalleled power and unfathomable depth, capable of dealing with emperors even without goddesses.
