Chapter 295: Physique: 93
Ten Thousand Buddha Palm - Tiger Subduing Seal!
A colossal Buddha shadow filled the entire research base, making the spacious area feel cramped.
No!
At this moment, the void undeniably exhibited a certain degree of compression.
As a Third Rank, one could already touch the rules of space, such as the Flame Gateway, Dimension Leap, and so did the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm.
Battle aura and mental power converged, and under the influence of martial will, the two Second Elders felt their breathing suddenly halt.
A sense of the sky collapsing and the earth sinking rose in their hearts.
How could this be?
The Second Elders' eyes widened.
According to his understanding, the 'Connie' before him was just a Great Knight more than a year ago.
And now...
He had surpassed the Legendary and the Holy, becoming a Forbidden Knight directly, and his strength was far superior.
Could it be that he truly had the blessing of a divinity?
"Ah!"
Bewilderment, fear, and anger all turned into a roar, and the Second Elder's body swelled as he clenched his fist and struck forward.
Heaven's Blaze Break!
The fierce battle aura, after intricate circulation within his body, burst out from his fist, unleashing a force several times greater.
This battle technique, passed down from the ancient War God, was said to be able to punch through a star.
The Second Elder, of course, did not possess the strength of the War God, but with a single punch, he could easily level a small mountain.
"Peng!"
Their fists collided, and the space trembled, with waves of energy surging.
The research base, made of alloy, couldn't withstand the collision of two Third Circle practitioners, instantly shattering into pieces, collapsing under the onslaught of the roaring energy. Countless stones rained down from above, followed by a barrage of debris shooting out in all directions like cannonballs, creating a deafening roar.
"Hmm!"
"Puh!"
After only a few exchanges, the Second Elder grunted, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
So strong!
Just then—
"Roar!"
A fierce dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire base, and a metallic giant dragon crashed through the chaos, charging towards Karl.
Demon Lord's Vassal!
This High-Order Favored not only received the Creator's blessing but also gained a Dragon Tyrant's blessing.
Dragon Aura!
The Third Circle Dragon Aura unleashed without restraint.
The entire base was enveloped by the Dragon Aura, causing the knights and priests engaged in a chaotic battle to pause, trembling. Only the Blasphemy Beast could barely move under the suppression of the Dragon Aura.
Dragon Flame!
The golden flames possessed the power to burn through everything, piercing through rocks and soaring into the sky.
Three figures closely followed, bursting out of the base.
Karl stood in mid-air, a faint smile on his face as he observed the two individuals before him, their auras heavy with intensity:
"If I hadn't obtained the Demon Arm of the Pale Wing, I wouldn't have been fully confident against the two of you."
"But now..."
"Peng!"
Before he finished speaking, a rift appeared in the void behind him, and a claw emerged from within.
Void Claw!
The High-Order Favored of the Creator possessed a certain degree of control over space.
Although not as agile and abrupt as Mevia, it still left others unable to react for a moment.
Alas...
The dragon claw collided with the battle aura surrounding Karl, creating ripples, yet it couldn't advance any further.
"How could this be?"
This time, even the Demon Lord's Vassal felt his heart racing.
He hadn't held back at all, and a flesh body capable of withstanding his attack was almost equivalent to a demi-god.
Before he could recover, darkness suddenly enveloped him.
Ten Thousand Buddha Palm - Dragon Suppressing Seal!
Thirty-Six Continuous Strikes! Countless palm seals filled the sky, covering the space around the two, pressing down with immense force.
Demi-god?
If a physique score of over a hundred is considered a demi-god, then a score of ninety-three is almost equivalent.
Even if not, it's a matter of lacking the power of bloodline blessings rather than a disparity in flesh or physique.
Of course,
This is just Karl's speculation.
After all, he hasn't encountered a true demi-god, and Duke Ferdinand, being injured, isn't in his prime condition.
Although the Second Elder and the Demon Lord's Vassal are also Third Circle, they are only at the initial or mid-stages, a level below Karl.
"Boom!"
The immense force directly disrupted the elemental particles in the void, with earth, fire, wind, and water surging in mid-air, resembling a grand fireworks display, beautiful yet concealing a terrifying intent.
The metallic giant dragon roared, its dragon scales falling, and golden blood splattered the earth.
"Let's go!"
The Second Elder roared, his body springing into the sky like a tightly compressed coil, soaring towards the distance.
However, he didn't notice that twelve pillars had appeared in the void, sealing off this piece of heaven and earth.
Fourth Rank Artifact—Twelve Star Palace!
"You want to leave?"
A cold smile crept onto Karl's face.
"Can you really leave?"
Ten Thousand Buddha Palm—Thunder Seal!
The void tore, and thick, lava-like red lightning erupted from within, striking both of them.
Then, the thunderous power intensified, and nothing else could be seen.
"Connie!"
"Connie's Messenger!"
"..."
When Karl landed, he was greeted by looks of awe, fervor, and reverence.
"Connie."
Josie, the first priest to pledge allegiance in the group, was covered in blood, making her stand out even more.
She looked at him with a complex expression.
"Did you truly receive the Goddess's blessing?"
"..."
Karl nodded.
"I did receive it once."
He wasn't lying. Decades ago, when he cultivated the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique, the Moon Goddess had indeed blessed him.
However...
At that time, the Moon Goddess was so weak that she could only bless, but not bestow any gifts. Now, she was probably long dead.
The others didn't know Karl's thoughts, and upon hearing his words, their eyes lit up with excitement.
"God!"
"He hasn't abandoned us!"
"Hmm..."
Of course, there were also 'rebels' who scoffed at this, turning away in disdain.
"The Moon Goddess has already fallen for hundreds of years. No one has truly received her blessings in all this time. Why do you believe what others say?"
"Connie wasn't even a Legendary Knight more than a year ago, but now he's a Forbidden Knight, capable of killing the Second Elder and a High-Order Favored of the Demon Lord. Even in the era of the Gods, such a situation was rare. How could he have achieved this without the blessing of the Divine?"
"Indeed!"
"Exactly!"
"..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, their spirits lifted as a group.
...
"In the past few years, the Divine Realm collapsed, and the Demon Lord's power began to invade our world. The Cathedral said that we needed to gather Divine Flame and Divine Gifts to resist them, so we've been secretly collecting these things."
Old Fran led Karl to the base and extended his hand, pushing open a large door that was already ajar.
"It's all here."
"Huff..."
As the door opened, a gentle breeze blew from within, lifting the robes and sleeves, causing Karl to squint.
Divine Flame!
There were over a dozen Divine Flames quietly burning in the room.
Additionally, seven or eight Divine Gifts were scattered around, including stones, books, musical instruments, and branches.
Karl gently brushed his hand over the Divine Gifts, his mind filled with thoughts.
To him, Divine Gifts were equivalent to the mental imprints of Fourth and Fifth Rank powerhouses.
The God of Music, the God of Hunting, the Goddess of Beauty, the God of Wisdom...
Hmm? Karl paused, picking up a crystal-clear branch with intricate patterns in its texture.
"The God of Wisdom..."
"Wisdom Maiden!"
The God of Wisdom was composed of two aspects: Hundred Wisdom and Wisdom Maiden. Karl had once come across a Hundred Wisdom artifact.
This time, he encountered the Wisdom Maiden.
Moreover,
This Divine Gift seemed to have never been used before, and its divine essence was so rich that it could help him enhance a Fourth Rank martial skill or comprehend several Third Circle Spells.
"What a treasure!"
Karl's eyes sparkled.
"Are there similar things in the other Cathedral bases?"
"Yes." Old Fran nodded. "But the Second Elder was quite meticulous in his work. Other bases probably couldn't have collected this much."
"Unless it's the Cathedral!"
Karl slowly nodded.
He had obtained the Second Elder's memories and now knew the location of the Cathedral and how to enter it.
The Cathedral,
in fact, was the palace where the Moon Goddess resided in the Divine Realm, and it was itself a Fifth Rank artifact.
This was also the reason why no one had ever found the Cathedral, and even the knights trained there didn't know its exact location.
"No rush."
Karl muttered to himself.
"Let's digest our gains first."
