The mountain path was difficult to walk.
Apart from the gravity exerted on his body, the howling wind was a huge obstacle. Going up, Lucy and the other two girls had to fight against gravity and wind at the same time. Even though the two of them had activated the shield of their protective suits and set up the Origin Energy Barrier, they still found it difficult to move forward.
What was even more difficult was that every time they walked three laps of the mountain path, the gravity on their bodies would increase a little. The higher they went, the stronger the wind became. After the two of them walked through the nine laps of the mountain path, every step consumed a lot of physical strength and Origin Energy. Arriving here, it was as if they were enemies with the entire planet. Gravity wanted to crush them flat, and the howling wind was looking for an opportunity to blow them into the void on the other side of the mountain path.
At this time, there was no sand in the wind, but there was exceptionally hard hail. The small hailstones were the size of fists, and the larger ones were dozens of centimeters long and wide. Some were irregular, while others were as sharp as thorns. Walking on the mountain path, the two women had to pay attention to the hail. Although they wouldn't die if they were hit by a piece, it would affect their movements. From time to time, the two of them would use their fists or golden roses to shatter the incoming hailstones.
On the tenth circle of the mountain path, the two of them found a leeward place and temporarily hid in a depression in the mountain that was less than a meter deep to hide from the wind. Not only was the wind strong here, the temperature was also low. The temperature had probably already dropped below zero. The energy consumption of the protective suit was very fast, and the shield was not as thick as before. The two of them took the opportunity to eat some high-energy food. Angeloni rubbed her hands and said, "This damn place is worse than any place I've ever been. I won't come here again even if I'm beaten to death."
Lucy forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid I won't have a second chance. Don't forget that this planet is about to be destroyed."
"Your Highness, it won't be destroyed in a day or two, right?" Angeloni was a little guilty. After all, the current environment was so harsh that it was like a natural disaster caused by the destruction of a planet.
"That won't happen. The information says that Eternal Night Star won't be destroyed for at least a year. Even if the process can be shortened, it can't happen in a day or two. " Lucy frowned and said, "As for the unreasonable gravity here, it looks like it was deliberately set up. In addition to the will I felt earlier, this Holy Mountain was probably deliberately sealed by him, right? "
"Could it be that Master Gwa didn't have such an arrangement when he found the temple?" Angeloni said in surprise, "In that case, the master probably alarmed the will in the temple, which is why this is."
"That should be the case. Anyway, we can't stop here." Lucy stood up. "How are you? Can you walk?"
Angeloni smiled and said, "Of course, I can't lose to Your Highness. Otherwise, where will I put my face as a guard in the future?"
They prepared to set off and took a few steps. Angeloni pulled Lucy back, and they clung to the mountain wall on one side. The wind was too loud to talk, and Angeloni could only write in Lucy's palm, "There's someone behind."
Lucy looked behind her. The wind howled along the long mountain path, and the holy mountain seemed to be squeezed into a storm. Visibility was extremely low, and Lucy could not see anything at all. But a moment later, there was indeed a blurry black shadow. It seemed that someone had indeed caught up.
However, a moment later, there was indeed a blurry black shadow. It seemed that someone had indeed caught up.
"Marquis Main?" Lucy used her finger as a pen and wrote on Angeloni's palm. Your Highness, you go first. I'll stay. If it's an interstellar mercenary, it'll be easy to stall him. If it's Lord Main, then we'll meet at the top of the mountain. "
Lucy didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. She only wrote two words, "Be careful." Then, she continued up the mountain.
Angeloni stayed behind. She adjusted her breathing until her body was in its best state. She finally saw the figure clearly. No matter how she looked at it, the other party's blonde hair and blue skin didn't look like Main at all. Angeloni spat. Strands of faint purple flames spread out, and countless manipulators danced around her body like little purple snakes.
In the next moment, Angeloni's Qi surged, and even the storm on the Holy Mountain could not conceal her aura.
Lucy, who had sensed something, looked back and knew that the person who had come was not Ma Yin. She could only grit her teeth and continue forward. The rest of the journey was long and distant. This was simply a test of willpower and stamina. On the twelfth lap of the mountain path, the energy of the protective suit was exhausted and could no longer support the shield. Lucy could only rely on the Origin Energy Barrier to block the wind and bounce off the hail that was wrapped in the wind.
By the time she reached the fifteenth lap of the mountain path, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hair was wet with sweat, sticking tightly to her forehead. The Origin Energy Barrier was already thin, as if it would disappear at any moment. The gravity exerted on her was close to twenty times. Even with Lucy's current Level 27 Origin Energy, she couldn't withstand the consumption of all aspects. For a moment, she thought of giving up, but when she thought of Allen, she gritted her teeth and walked up.
After walking another two laps of the mountain path, she was no longer able to walk upright. She could only bend down and hold onto the mountain wall as she slowly walked forward. At this point, Lucy was almost numb, just repeating the same action mechanically. After walking for an unknown period of time, her entire body suddenly lightened, and the gale and hail suddenly disappeared.
Without the pressure of the outside world, Lucy relaxed and immediately fainted.
However, it didn't take long for her to wake up. After barely sitting up, she didn't rush on her way. Instead, she let herself eat some high-energy food first. After recovering some of his stamina, he stood up against the mountain wall. She found that she was still on the mountain path and looked behind her. The mountain path dozens of meters away from her was still blocked by the storm, but the side she was on was calm, as if there was an invisible wall separating them from the storm.
Lucy took a deep breath and took a step forward. The rest of the mountain path was quickly completed, and at the end of the mountain path was a platform. When they arrived at this place, the Holy Mountain Fruit was as Gwala had said. The mountain peak was flattened, and a gentle breeze blew on the platform. This place was so quiet that it seemed like another world.
Lucy raised her head. The light above her head was dim, and from time to time, a meter-long icicle would smash down. However, this phenomenon made her even more certain that there was an invisible barrier at the top of the Holy Mountain, isolating it from the harsh weather outside.
Looking forward, Lucy's line of sight was immediately filled with huge statues. On the flat ground a hundred meters away stood two statues that looked like the Royal City Guard Shariff she saw outside Suraka. However, these two statues were far larger than any Shariff statue, and they were more than twenty meters tall. Both of them had a giant sword in one hand, and their other hand was stretched out horizontally in front of them. Their palms were open, as if they were preventing outsiders from ascending the platform.
Behind these two statues was an even larger stone statue. It was a stone statue of a man sitting on a throne. Below the throne was a scene of rising flames depicted in bold curves. As for the man on the throne, his facial features were extremely dignified. Even though it was an inanimate object, it gave people the feeling of worship.
What surprised Lucy even more was that this man's appearance was exactly the same as the one she saw in the illusion.
With great difficulty, she withdrew her gaze from the man on the throne. Only then did Lucy see that there was an entrance under the throne, and on both sides of the entrance were other relief sculptures. The relief sculptures were of people kneeling in the direction of the entrance. It seemed that this huge sculpture had been installed on the Temple of Zheka.
As Lucy walked through the entrance, the originally dark passage suddenly lit up. It was actually the oval-shaped crystals on the walls on both sides of the passage that lit up. At the same time, there were also lines of graceful lines that connected the crystals and led to the depths of the temple.
After a hundred steps, Lucy walked into a hall. The hall was circular in shape, and it was surrounded by thick stone pillars that supported the arched dome. From the ground to the dome, there was a distance of a hundred meters, making the entire space seem unusually deep and vast.
There was a cylindrical stone platform in the center of the hall, and there was something slowly rotating on the stone platform. Lucy walked over quickly. When she got closer, she saw that it was a stone slab!
