Chapter 2559

The illusion array Grace had prepared was remarkably clever.

Even innate-level martial arts masters—experts in their own right—would easily lose their way in it.

But against someone like Zeus, the God King? It was useless.

His spiritual sense and cultivation had long surpassed the array’s power.

He didn’t need to see through it—he just brute-forced his way through.

Every array had a base and a core. Once struck by overwhelming force, both would be destroyed.

And when that happened, the array naturally collapsed.

That’s exactly how Zeus broke through—brute strength.

Whenever he got trapped, he didn’t bother probing with spiritual sense. He simply unleashed devastating power, clearing out everything within hundreds of meters.

One blast was enough to take out most formations.

If not, he’d fire again.

With Zeus’s monstrous power, no array had ever survived more than three of his energy strikes.

“Break!”

“Break!”

“Break again!”

Zeus shouted as he waved his arms, blasting energy in every direction.

Formations fell one after another.

He advanced, destroying everything in his path.

Behind him, Hera followed casually, looking bored, making no effort to help.

In this way, the two God Kings ascended Loxuia Mountain, leaving behind a trail of destruction—shattered trees, blasted rocks.

Finally, they reached the summit.

There stood an ancient, majestic temple.

In front of its gates were dozens of monks, all holding iron staffs.

They were all skilled fighters—two of them were even grandmaster-level.

When the God Kings approached, the monks immediately stood alert.

“Please stop here, honored guests,” said a middle-aged monk, gripping a diamond-studded staff. “This is a sacred Buddhist ground. Violence has no place here. Please leave peacefully.”

“Hand over Logan, and I’ll spare your lives,” Zeus said coldly.

He didn’t even see the monks as a threat. But he could sense a powerful energy near the temple.

It felt like the Five Elements Blood Evil Formation—but stronger.

“Amitabha. The sea of suffering is endless. Turn back now, before it’s too late. Do not take more lives,” the monk urged.

“Enough nonsense! If you won’t hand him over, you’ll all die!” Zeus growled. His patience was gone.

And once he acted, there would be no mercy.

“If you insist on this path, we’ll have no choice but to stop you,” the monk replied sternly.

“Stop me? You bald-headed fools? You’ve got no idea who you’re dealing with.”

Zeus was done talking.

He raised a hand and pointed.

“Sizzle!”

A blue lightning snake shot out, heading straight for the monk’s chest.

A hit like that would instantly kill any martial artist.

“Buzz~!”

Just before the lightning struck, a golden light flashed.

The electric snake vanished—completely absorbed, like a rock sinking into the ocean.

“Huh?”

Zeus’s brows twitched. He was surprised.

That flash of gold… if he wasn’t mistaken, it was a golden pagoda.

It appeared for just a moment before disappearing again.

And his lightning hadn’t even caused a ripple.

“Interesting.”

Behind him, Hera perked up slightly, intrigued for the first time.

She hadn’t cared about any of the earlier formations, but this golden pagoda caught her eye.

It was huge, beautiful, golden—and could absorb energy.

If she could get her hands on it, it’d make a perfect defensive treasure.

“So, you’ve got a magic weapon. No wonder you dared to stand your ground.”

Zeus narrowed his eyes. “Let’s see how much of my power that thing can really take.”

He slowly raised his hand and formed a claw.

Blue lightning began gathering in his palm.

At first, the energy ball was the size of an egg. But it grew steadily as Zeus built power.

Soon, it swelled to the size of a basketball, electric snakes crackling inside—brimming with terrifying energy.

“Let’s see you stop this!”

He hurled the lightning sphere at the temple gates.

“Buzz~!”

The golden pagoda reappeared in an instant, covering the temple like a mountain.

The lightning ball smashed into it.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion rocked the mountaintop.

The pagoda trembled slightly—but then stabilized.

Most of the lightning was instantly absorbed.

The remaining energy surged outward, away from the temple like a shockwave.

“Huh?”

Zeus frowned. That was two attacks stopped cold.

Now he realized—this golden pagoda was no ordinary weapon.
