With one step, Gosdo entered the Holy Sword Stairway. The scene shifted, returning to the familiar Golden Cloud Space.
The energy gathered and transformed into a young woman wearing a red dress.
"In the form of energy projection? Similar to the academy's Purgatory Tower." Gosdo looked thoughtfully at the woman in the red dress in front of him, who had already attacked. She was an assassin-class Transcendent.
"Annihilate!" Gosdo extended his right hand, and tadpole-shaped black runes flew out from his palm, combining to form a dark spear.
Tear!
The spear pierced the air with incredible speed, and the woman in the red dress had no chance to resist. Her chest was pierced through, and then her entire body disintegrated and dissipated.
"It's not that difficult..." Gosdo shrugged and continued the trial.
Meanwhile, Lancelot had also reached his limit.
Step 409.
His opponent was a bald, burly man, unarmed, tall and broad-shouldered, like a small giant, his strides were like mountains, robust and heavy, with light gold skin, and like Lancelot, he was also a Quebec People.
"The Moon Breaker Maxwell has actually encountered this important figure." Lancelot's eyes widened.
The person before me is one of the strongest individual combatants in the Alliance, having slain many Demigod.
Maxwell's most impressive feat was during the Twilight War, when he crashed headfirst through Oklo I, passing through the Earth's core unscathed, inflicting Deadly Strike on several military bases of the Dawn Empire at the time.
Furthermore, if the Holy See hadn't promptly dispatched several earth-elemental Demigod spellcasters to plug the hole created by Maxwell, Oklo I would have even risked disintegrating and exploding.
It was this battle that solidified Maxwell's reputation, and his title of Moon Breaker also originated from it.
Today, the Moon Breaker have become one of the pillars of the Crimson Alliance, holding a lofty position that even Dean Black Hole Urta cannot match.
It's worth mentioning that the Moon Breaker was also an Innovation School Ability Energy, but the SSS Innovation Skill he created, [Vortex Tyrant Body], had too demanding requirements, and only he himself could meet them, so it was not passed down.
However, the prerequisite Innovation Skill for [Vortex Tyrant Body], the SS-level [Immortal Body], can be found in the library.
Lancelot reviewed the introduction to this Innovation Skill and found that it was quite compatible with him. Many of the Ability Energy that make up the Tree of Life could be used on his Immortal Body.
Unused Ability Energy will need to be adjusted by the user.
However, modifying existing houses is much easier than building a house from scratch.
"It seems this will most likely be the end of the road." Lancelot muttered to himself, staring at the Moon Breaker before him.
There is a certain element of luck involved in conquering the Holy Sword Stairway.
Encountering a projection that you can control, or needing a relatively mediocre Transcendent individual, makes it easier to successfully complete the challenge.
Therefore, the same person may achieve different results each time they attempt the challenge.
Of course, this difference is quite limited.
Lancelot's luck is clearly bad now that he's encountered the Moon Breaker.
If it were during his prime, he might be able to put up a fight, but now, his chances of winning are only about 10%.
Although the Holy Sword Stairway provides rest periods, without external replenishment of nutrients and energy, relying solely on one's own energy reserves will eventually lead to a shortage.
Lancelot is currently only at 60-70% of his full strength. If he were to go all out, he could unleash his full combat power, but his endurance would be greatly reduced.
The Moon Breaker is best known for his boundless vitality and stamina, making him adept at prolonged battles.
"No matter what, it's worth it to be able to fight against the pillar of the nation." Lancelot grinned, activating Flow Method and Cell Liberation simultaneously.
His aura was like the rising sun in the east, brazenly displaying his presence in all directions.
Boom!
The cold-faced Moon Breaker arrived.
Like a meteor falling to earth, the energy-rich plain beneath their feet trembled.
Lancelot suddenly looked up, Moon Breaker's half-meter-long hand slammed down, its aura rising continuously, accompanied by a mountain of Berserk blood and energy that shot into the sky.
For a moment, all Lancelot saw was gold and red, as if there was nothing else in the world.
The Moon Breaker, enveloped in golden-red light, stood like a god who disregarded all living beings, unshakable as a mountain.
"So powerful!" Lancelot was shocked. He had considered the strength of the Moon Breaker, but he still underestimated them. Even with his full power, he could only parry and was forced to retreat.
Boom!
Another palm strike landed, Lancelot's vision went black. He didn't know when, but the Moon Breaker had already entered his forbidden zone. Within half a meter of him, the Moonbreaker lowered its head slightly, its golden eyes coldly meeting his gaze, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Roar!!
A long, resounding roar, like that of a dragon or an elephant, exploded in his ears. Since his rebirth, this was the first time Lancelot had felt such pure power. In a daze, he seemed to see a colossal creature stretching its limbs in the Starry Sky sky, its long tail whipping and shattering meteors one by one.
This is willpower.
Once you become completely immersed in this illusory world, you will be completely at the mercy of others.
At that moment, the passive [Tenacious Will] and the active talent [Willpower Burst] were activated simultaneously.
With a roar, Lancelot suddenly broke free from the Moon Breaker's will and thrust his fists out, determined to meet it head-on.
Knowing he was powerless to win, Lancelot had only one thought in his mind: to fight a fierce and exhilarating battle.
Boom!
The two collided like meteors hitting the earth. A hurricane swept outwards from the two of them, quickly creating a large crater that continued to expand outwards. At the edges, soil and rocks tumbled, and vegetation was pulverized, creating a horrifying scene.
Lancelot's name went dark. 409th step. He finally stopped here.
Outside the Holy Sword Stairway, seeing Lancelot defeated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but a feeling of regret quickly arose, their emotions conflicted.
They wanted to witness the birth of Legendary, but being left far behind must have been disheartening.
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie until Lancelot walked down the steps.
In an instant, all eyes were on him, which surprised Lancelot; there were just too many people.
But soon, he felt a surge of joy, realizing that this would allow Raquel to earn even more.
But... why are the vice dean and Director Steel Tiger here, and all these unfamiliar faces?
Lancelot was momentarily puzzled.
Just then, Steel Tiger stepped out of the crowd, laughing loudly as he walked to Lancelot's side. He put an arm around Lancelot's neck, ruffled his hair vigorously, and laughed, saying, "Good lad, you've really made me proud, and made us Innovators proud."
After saying this, before Lancelot could even react, Steel Tiger looked at Vice Dean Louis and suggested, "Since Lancelot's strength has reached the Tier Seven, why not let him participate in the Planet Golden Bridge Operation as well?"
