Chapter 1275: Chapter 201: That’s the Unyielding Fortress!

At this moment, he recalled the words of Crown Prince Carlos.

[As long as I’m prepared… death won’t catch up to me!]

As he thought of this, a blinding light followed.

At the forefront, The Unyielding Fortress felt as if a new star had burst before his eyes, like a sun exploding right in front of him, eradicating all darkness and future.

Following that, there was an incredible ‘shock’ and ‘collapse’!

The knight shuddered, feeling as if every organ and his soul were bearing an invisible heavy pressure, with forces far beyond his original capacity exerting on every cell, threatening to crush them!

The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon unleashed its attack, not just a mere light cannon or shock wave, but a ‘gravity wave weapon’!

By releasing primal aether to form an aether flow, it altered the local gravitational field of the target area, creating a short-term hypergravity and high-temperature high-pressure. This weapon is also equipped on Earth, used by large expansion ships when developing asteroid mining areas. Back then, its principle was to use quantum collapse to emit high-energy gravity waves, creating a conical gravity cone for directional high-energy strikes.

This was also the true nature of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon’s breath: what appeared to be flame was essentially a gravity beam, capable of producing terrifying physical impacts as well as high temperature and pressure, destroying all matter in its path.

Under such an unfathomable destructive power, the surrounding mountains, forests, and rocks all began to collapse and shatter, turning to dust before combusting in the ultra-high temperatures, becoming a sea of molten lava. However, a sharp-angled cone of land with Mahdi at its epicenter stubbornly remained unchanged!

Boom! The Worm Nest Crystal Dragon Heart Light Body at the forefront shattered after persisting for about a second. The immense power level of the gravity wave caused it to collapse and shatter, with countless fragments scattered by the wind like snowflakes in a fire.

Next, the invisible yet scorching wave struck Mahdi’s Heart-Light Shield at the forefront, the terrifying pressure instantaneously compressed the spherical Heart-Light Shield into an ellipse, then completely shattered it. Meanwhile, the surrounding earth and stone had evaporated into sparkling golden-red mist, falling like raindrops.

In the next second, two layers of spirit energy shields and the ice shield blessed by Ian exploded outward in all directions, with ripples shredding the Origin Shield of the Dragon Scale Armor, then tearing through the superheated steam layer enforced by Gaer.

The sea of lava was blown into a steep cliff-like curvature by the terrifying impact, with a large amount of superheated magma propelled skyward, leading to an incessant downpour of glowing lava. This wave of destruction finally shredded the spirit energy jewelry gifted by Anfa, causing the Blood River Armament to disintegrate and reach the knight’s flesh and blood, beginning to burn and crumble his indomitable body!

At this moment, within the shattered fragments of the jewelry, the ‘Ningmoxiyan’ powerful enough to suppress any attack within the Third Level had completely extinguished, dissipating after consuming too much energy.

Finally, the waves of the lava sea crashed down, forming gigantic rings of impact that spread outward, engulfing the barely standing nearby lava mountains in an instant.

The entire testing ground was destroyed by the energy shockwaves released by the Fourth Energy Level.

However, amidst this towering sea of flames, one silhouette still stood tall!

[It was blocked!]

The Second Generation of the Immovable Firmament, Mahdi, stood straight despite his body appearing like charred coal. Though he could no longer speak, the Origin Quality reverberated the atmosphere: [I blocked it!]

On the knight’s body, the last layer of Dragon Scale Armor had been scorched black, nearly shattered, and among the shields imposed by other young heroes, only Aina’s ‘Sunflame Body Shield’ barely persisted… but indeed, he had blocked all the gravity beams directed at this place, stopping the full-map attack recklessly unleashed by the Dark Gold True Dragon!

His right hand and most of his body had been wrecked and ignited in the previous attack, leaving only skeleton and internal organs relatively intact, surrounded by a carbonized layer. The ‘Ether Phase Transfer’ of his Body of Light could only redistribute attacks striking certain areas across his entire body, but the gravity beam earlier assaulted his whole body, making it impossible to transfer, only mitigate the impact as much as possible.

The spirit substance body of the Blood River Armament was gradually recovering, actually faster than the knight himself.

This was a critical injury, an unprecedented devastation…

—But The Unyielding Fortress accomplished it!

Ian truly withstood the attack of the Fourth Energy Level!

[This, impossible!]

At this moment, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon had exhausted all the primal aether it refined earlier, indeed plunged into the ‘weakened period’ predicted by the Prophet, revealing a gaze of astonishment: [How could this be… to block it?!]

—Why not?

At this moment, those shielded by The Unyielding Fortress emerged from behind Mahdi. They silently stepped over Mahdi’s body and then stood before the knight.

The feeling of being protected by someone… what is it? Is it reassurance? Happiness? Or perhaps an overwhelming sense of gratitude?

No… none of those. To these proud young talents, the feeling of being protected could only be described as disgrace.

A disgrace that could only be washed away with blood!

Boom!!!

At this moment, accompanied by intense aether fluctuations, a brilliant light radiated. They had fully unleashed the ultimate power of their trump cards… One by one, splendid rays emerged, with spiritual energy from various origins erupting, submerging the entire testing ground in rainbow light, illuminating the expressionless dragon head of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon and the figure of the knight.

—That was… The Unyielding Fortress!
