The Black Totem Snake raised his head, staring at Haylon, the Hall Master of the Hall of Knights.

Terrifying lightning surged across the place, striking the Black Totem Snake, leaving scorch marks on his body.

Lightning was very penetrating, and it would still inflict a certain amount of damage on the Black Totem Snake, regardless of how thick his scales were.

The Lightning Punishment Formation not only contained destructive power, it was a strong Sealing magic, too. The lightning trapped its target, and even a Ruler-level creature would struggle to break free from it!

“You won’t escape this time!” Haylon harrumphed coldly. He hovered in the air with his subordinates behind him. He waved his hand with an icy expression, “All knights, Holy Court Mages, and Adjudicators, listen up! Let’s kill this demon snake at all cost!”

Brilliant Star Constellations and Star Palaces shone down upon the place. Even the weakest person among them was still an Advanced Mage. The combined light was like a magic cloud looming over the Parthenon Temple!

The deafening blasts of the magic spells came from behind. Mo Fan could feel the terrifying energy as the different Elements clashed. He turned around and saw different kinds of energy surging at him!

The flames and the howling frost combined into a rain of ice and fire. The sharp blades of wind and the flickering lightning intertwined, while shocking swords of light flew at him rapidly…

Mo Fan had never seen so many magic spells combined together, not even during the battle at the Ancient Capital. The armed forces of the Parthenon Temple were indeed terrifying!

The Black Totem Snake was trapped in the Lightning Punishment Formation, and having difficulty moving. He quickly coiled up as he sensed the great danger approaching!

The Black Totem Snake curled up into a hill, wrapping his body around his head. The magic spells landed on him, damaging his scales!

The sky darkened as the Advanced and Super Spells landed on their target. The whole mountain was razed flat.

The Black Totem Snake remained still. The magic blasts lasted for quite some time. After all, he was going against the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple. When they were determined to eliminate their enemy, even the Black Totem Snake would be injured to a certain degree.

The Black Totem Snake’s scales began to split. Blood started flowing down his scales.

—

“Keep it up, blast it into pieces!” Haylon ordered.

As long as his Lightning Punishment Formation was in place, the enormous snake was merely a huge, stationary target. The Mages just needed to attack with their strongest spells. Even a Totem Beast would eventually turn into scattered ashes and dispersed smoke!

The sacred mountain shook vigorously. The people in the Citadel of Athens could feel it strongly. The quake even spread to the cities further away.

The energy of the spells was already leaking out. If it wasn’t for the magic formation encapsulating the sacred mountain, the fire, lightning, and wind would have endangered the city.

A creature of the Black Totem Snake’s level could easily trigger a Purple Alert, especially when the Skyscraping Snake was on the sacred mountain of their city. Many people even saw the creature’s head reaching the clouds in the sky. Fear spread rapidly through the people!

Considering the risk of the magic formation collapsing, the Mages of the Hall of Faith immediately sounded the Purple Alert and evacuated the people around the sacred mountain.

The conflict between the Parthenon Temple and the Tyrant Titans was still around. Even in these times the Tyrant Titans would occasionally invade the city and attack the Parthenon Temple. As such, the area within five kilometers of the sacred mountain was extremely familiar with the evacuation procedures. Whenever the Tyrant Titans attacked, the Parthenon Temple would evacuate the people to at least five kilometers away so they could set up a barrier and avoid casualties!

The Parthenon Temple would give out the order to evacuate even if the intruder was only a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan. The Black Totem Snake was easily stronger than a Golden Sun Tyrant Titan. A Golden Sun Tyrant Titan could crush a whole street with a single stomp. Why couldn’t the Black Totem Snake raze half a district to the ground with a single sweep of his tail?

The Hall of Faith was responsible for guaranteeing the safety of the civilians. They would not stop and consider whether the Hall of Judgment and the Hall of Knights were able to control the situation. Whenever an emergency took place, they would evacuate civilians immediately to avoid unnecessary casualties!

As a matter of fact, the magic formation was not perfectly safe, either. When so many Advanced and Super Spells were cast at the same time, even the slightest amount of destructive power that leaked out from the barrier could easily destroy an entire mountain…

The sacred mountain was on alert, and the areas nearby were being evacuated. The light of the spells looming over the place had turned into a black hole able to devour anything. The spells had yet to fall, the black hole continued to drag everything nearby into it, filling up the empty gap as the energy that had accumulated was simply too overwhelming.

—

The black hole was tearing at the Black Totem Snake’s body. The Black Totem Snake slowly extended his coils amid the chaotic wind, lightning, and fire. His scales were emitting wisps of blue light. They separated themselves from the Black Totem Snake’s scales and floated in the surroundings, forming a glowing barrier around the creature!

The Black Totem Snake’s defense was remarkable, and even Super Spells could only leave shallow wounds on his body. As the barrier surrounded the Black Totem Snake, the spells could no longer touch his scales. Even the lightning of the destructive Lightning Punishment Formation was blocked outside of the barrier!

The Black Totem Snake lifted his head out of his coils. He broke free from the Lightning Punishment Formation and curled around a deserted mountain…

The Black Totem Snake still looked stunning even when compared to the mountain, as he was able to coil around the whole peak easily.

The Black Totem Snake extended his head toward the black hole in the sky. He suddenly bit at the black hole and swallowed it down!

The black hole was formed by the combination of various Elements. When different Elements clashed, it would produce a destructive storm, and when the storm grew even stronger, it would result in a black hole…

The black hole that the Black Totem Snake ate consisted of countless Advanced and Super Spells, but the restless energy fell silent after it was swallowed by the Black Totem Snake…

It was as if the Black Totem Snake had digested the destructive energy. The sky immediately cleared up, and the whole place turned brightened up again.

Suddenly, the Black Totem Snake opened his mouth. A spiraling, black vortex came out of the creature’s mouth. It immediately devoured the sacred mountain and the smaller hills nearby. The Adjudicators and the Guardian Knights failed to hold their ground even when they were sticking close together. The strong energy tossed them into the air.

Their defense was a mere decoration in front of the vortex. Even Haylon and Shawshank were knocked flying by the impact!

Swallowing clouds and spitting out fog!

The Black Totem Snake was able to swallow energy and spit out an even stronger breath weapon. When the Black Totem Snake did not have any energy to use, the clouds in the sky were his best weapons…

The Elemental Vortex swept across the place. The armed forces that were previously in an orderly formation on the mountain were now in total disorder. Unconscious Mages were scattered across the place. It felt like none of them were actually strong enough to take on the Black Totem Snake!

The Black Totem Snake glanced at the mountain top aloofly. He started crawling down the steep mountain, and slowly moved away from the sacred mountain!

—

“Strengthen the magic formation!” Haylon snapped furiously.

The sacred mountain had a magic formation surrounding it. The Black Totem Snake would have to smash his way through it if he wanted to leave the place.

—

As the Black Totem Snake was heading down the mountain, a sacred golden magic formation appeared. Its surface was like a beehive shrouding the Mountain of the Goddess, preventing the Black Totem Snake from going any further.

The energy of the magic formation was like a scorching heat that could burn anything to ashes. The heat even melted the Black Totem Snake’s scales. Once he lost his scales, he would suffer great pain if he attempted to break through the barrier again!

The Black Totem Snake did not back away. He swung his tail and slammed it on the magic formation

The sacred, golden barrier shook hard. The scorching heat melted the scales on the Black Totem Snake’s tail. The flesh on the Black Totem Snake’s tail blistered when he continued to slam it on the barrier.

Mo Fan was well aware of how powerful the magic formation was. He was extremely touched seeing that the Black Totem Snake was trying hard to break through the barrier, even if it meant injuring himself!

“Big guy, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve put you in, thank you so much,” Mo Fan said to the Black Totem Snake.

The Black Totem Snake tried hard to break through the barrier. His head turned around and let out a hiss. It was obvious that the people of the Parthenon Temple were approaching.

As the Black Totem Snake continued to slam his tail onto the magic formation, arcs of lightning swept across the place randomly. The people of the Parthenon Temple knew how terrifying the power of the magic formation was. None of them dared to move any closer.

“You’re only digging your own grave. The magic formation will burn you into ashes, we don’t have to do anything at all!” Shawshank shouted, beating his wings and pointing at Mo Fan.
