Chapter 275: Chapter 139: Celestial Demonic Killing Array, Double Eruption! (Part 1)

Those words pierced the Specters’ eardrums like ice awls.

The Celestial-tier Specters flew into a rage. Their black Surplices gleamed coldly under the sunlight as they clenched their fists, a chilling aura spreading over the Sanctuary.

Had it not been for Athena’s divine domain, which circulated a faint golden light around the Sacred Mountain to form an invisible barrier, they would have already charged up the steps and torn Alex and Athena to pieces.

"Boy, all you can do is hide inside the Goddess’s divine domain and flap your lips!"

The Celestial Prison Star, Gordon, raised his battle axe, the blade striking sparks against the ground. His tone was full of disdain.

"Come out if you have the guts! I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be cleaved in half by the Minotauros Axe!"

The Celestial Alacrity Star, Sylphid, vibrated his insectoid wings at high speed. A vicious light flickered in his compound eyes as he roared in agreement.

"A coward hiding within the Goddess’s domain is fit to be called the strongest of the current era?"

Alex’s expression remained entirely unchanged, his dark eyes not showing the slightest ripple. He turned his head and gave Saori Kido a slight nod, his voice as calm as a placid lake.

"Miss Saori, I’m going to take care of these dancing clowns."

Saori Kido pursed her lips into a soft smile, her eyes full of trust. She nodded gently.

"Don’t worry about me. The Sacred Mountain is protected by the divine domain; it’s very safe. Besides, Dohko has also arrived..."

Both of their gazes turned toward the foot of the mountain at the same time. A hunched old man leaning on a walking stick was slowly climbing up the stone steps. The old man wore a simple traditional Tang jacket and was as short as a dwarf. It was none other than the Libra Gold Saint, Dohko.

After the seal on the Evil Star Tower shattered, he hadn’t lingered in Lushan, rushing to the Sanctuary at the first possible moment.

At this moment, although only Alex and Dohko remained as the two Gold Saints currently in the Sanctuary, its actual defensive strength hadn’t diminished in the slightest. One was recognized as the absolute strongest of the current era, while the other was a veteran survivor of the Holy War from 243 years ago with unfathomably deep foundations.

A faint smile curled on Alex’s lips as he thought to himself.

’Dohko still couldn’t put his mind at ease regarding Athena. Right after finishing his sealing duty, he rushed over in such a hurry. What, is he afraid I’ll slaughter her?’

However, this was also within his calculations. Once he finished cleaning up these Specters, he planned to find the right moment to strike at the Twin Gods. When that time came, someone had to guard Athena, and Dohko, who was hidden from the sight of the gods, was the perfect candidate.

Alex turned around and walked down the steps, crossing paths with Dohko on the stone stairs in front of the Sagittarius Temple.

The Cosmos around both of them faintly materialized, their golden energies clashing in mid-air like physical entities. It was only a brief probe before they quickly retracted their power.

Dohko paused his steps slightly. On the surface, he maintained his indifferent demeanor, but his heart was already churning like a stormy sea.

’This boy... exactly how does he train? We both possess the Eighth Sense Cosmo, yet the intensity of his is a hundred times greater than mine!’

The level of one’s Cosmo was a division of realms, but the disparity in strength within the exact same realm could be as vast as lake and ocean. Just like Saga’s Seventh Sense Cosmo, which was already at the pinnacle of its realm; a single Galaxian Explosion was virtually unstoppable.

And the intensity of Alex’s Cosmo, among all the Saints who had awakened the Eighth Sense, was fully worthy of being called unprecedented.

Arriving at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, Alex came to a halt. He wasn’t wearing his Aquarius Cloth, dressed only in simple white linen clothes, his dark hair fluttering in the gentle breeze.

Thirty-three Celestial-tier Specters completely surrounded him, looking like evil spirits crawling out of the abyss. They radiated the foul stench unique to the Underworld. The dense laws of death acted like ink dripping into clear water, dyeing the Sanctuary’s pure air an ashen black and causing the surrounding vegetation to wither rapidly.

The Specters weren’t in a hurry to attack. Alex’s title as the strongest of the current era had long since spread throughout the three realms of Earth, the Sea, and the Underworld. To say they weren’t wary of him would be an absolute lie.

The Celestial Defeat Star, Ivan, slapped his chest plate and mocked him.

"What ’strongest of the current era’? Alex, you’re way too arrogant! You dare to face all thirty-three of us without even wearing your Cloth?"

Another Specter added with a malicious grin. "You’re finally willing to step outside the divine domain? We’ll make sure to entertain you properly!"

The thirty-three Specters shifted slowly. Their formation faintly aligned with their respective constellations as a glint of pleasant surprise erupted in their eyes.

They exchanged glances and roared in unison.
