Apocalypse Magician

The church headquarters is located on the hillside of the Holy Mountain, with its back against the summit of the Holy Mountain and the infinite prosperity of the High City below.

Originally, this was the palace of the Fantasy Emperor. Back then, the Fantasy Emperor unified the continent, built the imperial city and the three main cities, and built the palace in a relatively open space on the hillside of the Holy Mountain. From here, the entire imperial city can be seen.

After the fall of the Fantasy Emperor, the church was established, repaired the imperial palace that was slightly damaged due to the rebellion in the imperial city, and used it as its headquarters. Then it rebuilt the imperial city and changed its name to the Supreme City.

The former palaces of the Fantasy Emperor in the Imperial City and the three main cities have become the headquarters of each of the four major dioceses of the church, controlled by four archbishops respectively. The Pope himself sits at the headquarters of the Holy Mountain.

When Zhukara and his party arrived at the church headquarters, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the tall building, adding even more momentum.

The main entrance of the church is more than ten meters high. It is made of precious jade and special materials. It is white, flawless and extremely hard. It naturally emits an invisible aura. In front of it, even the top masters will feel a sense of personal insignificance.

On both sides of the main entrance, there are statues of giant lions and beasts. The statues are made in real proportions, looking up to the sky and roaring, lifelike.

Speaking of this giant lion beast, it looks like a lion that has been enlarged several times. It is a subspecies of the ancient armored beast.

The armored beast only appears in mainland legends. It is an existence of the same level as the Dragon Clan. It is cruel in nature and has a notorious reputation. Even if the Dragon Clan sees it, it will be punished.

Although the giant lion beast is weaker than the armored beast, it still has the same combat power as the peak swordsman of the upper class. Especially the armor, which completely inherits the characteristics of the armored beast, is extremely hard. Without the magic weapons, even the holy Even high-level masters felt a slight headache after seeing it, which was far beyond the comparison of ordinary high-level swordsmen.

This characteristic, combined with its combat power, is very similar to the corpse man controlled by Li Xingkong using dark magic.

"What kind of ugly thing is this? It's too ugly!" Zhukara walked up to the statue of the giant lion beast, squinted his eyes and looked around, then kicked the statue with disdain, "There is a statue standing in front of the palace of our Qingtian Empire. The two golden dragon statues are much more powerful than this thing."

As soon as Zhu Kara finished speaking, suddenly, there was a low roar, and the statue actually moved, turning its huge head, its gong-like eyes fixed on Zhu Kara, and its mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. .

"Oh my god..." Zhukara was so frightened that he fell to the ground and rolled around with his hands and feet. He didn't know whether he wanted to dig a hole in the ground or crawl behind Hongta Mountain to hide.

Hong Tashan holds the broad sword tightly with both hands, ready to fight at any time.

"Everyone, please be patient. Please go inside and rest first." Mo Qianjun's voice sounded from behind, and everyone gradually felt relieved.

The giant lion beast glanced at Mo Qianjun, then ignored Zhukara and returned to its original posture, like a statue again.

Seeing that the giant lion beast made no move, Hong Tashan also broke into a cold sweat.

If the giant lion beast had gone berserk on the spot just now, Hongta Mountain could only barely protect itself even at its peak. It would be impossible to break through that layer of iron armor. Plus, it would be really dangerous to protect Zhukara.

As for the other nobles who entered the church headquarters one after another in front of the door, they were more shocked.

After all, most existences of the same level as giant dragons only appear in legends and have been extinct on the mainland for a long time. Among the records of accurate witnesses, giant lion beasts are already one of the very few species with top-level combat capabilities.

The giant lion beasts are unruly in nature and are difficult to be completely tamed. They can put two adult giant lion beasts in front of the door. Only the church in the world has such powerful strength.

By the time Zhukara and his party were completely settled at the church headquarters, it was nightfall, and other guests were arriving one after another during this period.

The noble banquet officially started on the second day, and everyone was busy settling in. Except for a few people with ulterior motives who conspired, nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Li Xingkong and Yueying separated and went up the mountain alone.

Since the banquet started on the same day, many nobles arrived at this time, and the number of people moving was large. In addition, Li Xingkong had the invitation in hand, so it was easy to sneak into the church headquarters.

Based on the palace of the Fantasy Emperor, it has been restored and renovated by the church, and the natural scenery is beautiful and unique.

Entering the main entrance, a road leads directly to the main church. The road is wide and straight, with towering trees on both sides, evergreen all year round.

A hundred meters away, the main church is majestic, like a giant sitting between heaven and earth, which is deeply shocking.

The church building is mainly white, symbolizing holiness and flawlessness. Under the morning sun, it seems to be free from dust.

At the same time, most of the buildings are tall, wide, with sharp edges and corners, and are sacred yet powerful.

This is completely opposite to the streamlined style of the Canglang Empire, but it reaches the same goal by different routes. It also gives people a double shock both visually and spiritually.

However, the most surprising thing is that there are thirteen huge rocks suspended in the sky outside the church headquarters.

The boulder is hemispherical with a flat and open upper surface. The thirteen boulders can be regarded as two groups as a whole. Each group forms a huge circle, surrounding the church headquarters in the middle.

Among them, the inner circle is composed of six boulders, each boulder is 30 meters above the ground, and there are six buildings on it, forming a circle.

The outer circle is composed of the remaining seven boulders, which are much smaller in size than the inner boulders. Each one is only a dozen meters above the ground. Due to space limitations, there is only one building on it. A beam of light rises from the top of the building. Seven beams of light rise into the sky. They gather in mid-air and interweave into a rainbow, bathed in the morning sun, like a fairyland on earth.

After looking up at the boulder for a long time, Li Xingkong couldn't help but be amazed.

Obviously, the boulders rely on the power of the formation to float in the air. The seven boulders in the outer layer are completely beyond imagination. However, no matter from every angle, they are much worse than the inner layer. The six boulders in the inner layer are really uncanny workmanship.

Li Xingkong's formation attainments are self-proclaimed to be first-rate in the mainland. After careful observation and thinking, there may be traces of the outer formation, but when faced with the inner formation, he can only shake his head and smile bitterly, without any clue. .

Behind the main church is a wide square with a radius of several hundred meters. This is the main venue for this noble banquet.

The floor tiles in the square are as smooth as mirrors and mixed with magic crystals. No matter which angle you look at, there are dots of light, like stars in the sky.

In the center of the square, there is a giant fountain. The water column shoots up to a height of more than 20 meters, and then divides into 24 streams, each heading in different directions, spanning more than 200 meters in the air, and falling into the pool around the square.

Each stream of water forms a water curtain, like a small waterfall, falling on the water surface, stirring up a mist, reflecting the morning sunshine, like a dream.

The water flowed across the sky like a whitewash, but did not splash at all on the crowd below. Everyone once again deeply admired this magical masterpiece.

Outside the central fountain, the square is divided into four equal parts, with scenery arranged according to spring, summer, autumn and winter. It seems to be a world of its own, with all things revived, flowers blooming, golden wind and jade dew, and white plums fragrant. It is so beautiful.
