It was noon in this world, and after a four-hour flight, everyone finally saw something unusual above the endless abyss.
"That should be the Tower of Paradise, right?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the shadow towering in the clouds and mist in front of him, knowing that their destination had been reached.
"This is it, but please be careful, Lord. I have been to the Tower of Paradise once before, but it is protected by a very powerful barrier. If you want to climb, you must first find a way to break through the barrier."
Hilna said.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. Thanks to the guidance of the undead princess along the way, everyone did not get lost in the boundless abyss.
I don’t know how this person was able to identify the direction without any reference. If it were him, he probably wouldn’t be able to find this place without placing signposts.
Ordering Alculus to fly closer again, Zhang Xiaoman could clearly see the shape of the Paradise Tower this time.
This is a wide, cylindrical tower with an angle of almost ninety degrees. There are some carved patterns on the outside of the tower, but judging from the traces, it seems to have been left a long, long time ago.
However, after Zhang Xiaoman looked at it carefully for a moment, he discovered that this thing did not seem to be a man-made tower. If the wonder-like carvings were removed, this thing was more like a naturally formed peak with a strange shape.
"Could it be that this is the mountain peak mentioned by the Eye of Truth?"
He secretly wondered, then took out the eyeball-shaped prop from the storage ring and pointed it at the Paradise Tower not far ahead.
"Peak height: 41769.23 meters."
The answer given by Eye of Truth is in line with its usual style, concise and accurate.
"This is it."
Zhang Xiaoman took back the props and looked up at the sky along the tall tower.
I saw the huge Paradise Tower extending into the clouds, with no end visible. Looking from this angle, it seemed to be straddling everyone's heads, as if it was about to topple down at any time.
The other Binbreakers also showed expressions of wonder, even the three giant frost dragons were no exception.
It was the first time for them to see the legendary Tower of Paradise, and it was also the first time to see such a majestic "building". In addition, it was rumored that it could lead directly to the kingdom of God, which made everyone's senses about it become different. Even more intense.
"Let's get ready to go. Everyone should follow me. There is a barrier here to protect us. Let me break through its defense first."
Zhang Xiaoman drove the giant dragon forward cautiously. When the distance was less than 300 meters, he suddenly felt a weak shock coming from the front.
"This is...a barrier made of dark energy...?"
In front of their eyes, a pale yellow light curtain flashed, and everyone could see with their naked eyes that a barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking their way.
"Sure enough, there is a protective barrier! Let me try it!!"
Dwarf King Yohad shouted, and immediately opened the weapon ring impatiently, condensed a golden battle ax in his hand, and threw it out as soon as he raised his hand.
"Cool!!"
The dwarf shouted excitedly. When he got the ring, he already wanted to try its power, but everyone was in a hurry along the way and there was no chance for him to use it.
It's just that although he threw an ax with confidence, the result was not very satisfactory. The protective barrier only trembled slightly and blocked his attack.
Not only that, as Yohad's attack was intercepted, a burst of dark yellow lightning suddenly appeared on the side of the barrier and blasted towards him. It even had the function of automatic counterattack.
"Buzz!!"
There was a trembling buzz, and Zhang Xiaoman raised his hand to apply a layer of shield to the opponent, blocking the lightning that contained dark spiritual power.
"What a great defense! Thanks! Pole Star!"
Yohad touched his sweat with some fear. He could clearly feel the violent power of the thunder and lightning just now. If it were hit head-on, it would definitely make people feel better.
"Reckless and stupid dwarf, turn off the ring quickly and stop wasting your hard-earned power."
Alculus made a taunt at the right time. Even though it had turned into an undead, it still did not get rid of its arrogant character.
Yohad also had a bad temper. He was not willing to suffer any loss after being humiliated, so he immediately started to scold him.
However, the scolding battle between one man and one dragon was quickly stopped by McAvey. Alculus just snorted disdainfully and then stopped immediately.
It still gave some face to the strongest holy magician in the human race. After all, this is a world where strength speaks for itself.
Zhang Xiaoman ignored them. He frowned and used his mental power to carefully perceive the barrier in front of him.
"With such a tall tower and such a powerful defense, how much energy does it need to consume...?"
He felt a little incredible.
He raised his head and looked at the sky again, thinking about the tens of thousands of meters high area. If this barrier were to cover the entire mountain peak, the energy consumption required would undoubtedly be an extremely astonishing figure.
What's more, according to Sirna's description, this tower has existed a long time ago. Even judging from the legends and stories of people on this continent, the Tower of Paradise was born long before humans appeared.
If this is the case, then has the magic circle of the Tower of Paradise been in operation for countless years?
Zhang Xiaoman really couldn't figure out how to achieve that level of consumption.
"Let's go up and take a look first. Maybe the barrier of this tower is only in the lower half, and the upper area is not protected..."
Zhang Xiaoman put forward his opinion.
Naturally, no one objected. With the strength that Zhang Xiaoman has shown now, his voice and prestige in the Binding Breakers Association have also been greatly improved, and he has the potential to surpass the founder of McAvoy.
The group of people immediately started flying high into the sky on three giant frost dragons. The three dragons used their superb flying skills to lead everyone all the way up vertically, and the height of everyone was climbing rapidly.
After estimating the position of the sea level, when Zhang Xiaoman and others arrived at an area of about five thousand meters, the three giant frost dragons were obviously beginning to struggle.
From the pressure provided by the barrier that enveloped the world, the effect of the forbidden air seemed to become more obvious the higher you went, and later even the ninth-level frost dragon could no longer go up.
"It's more than seven thousand meters...the barrier here still exists..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt the faint vibration in front of him and was quite surprised.
"It seems that this barrier should be able to be directly connected to the Kingdom of God. We can't continue flying now. It seems that we must find a way to break through the barrier..."
McCarvey pondered.
"How about you let me try it? With the power of this ring, I should be able to break through its protection."
Zhang Xiaoman did not veto his proposal, but nodded and motioned for him to take action.
He also wanted to see what level the Holy Magister would reach after possessing the increased power of the ring.
Immediately afterwards, McCarvey began to chant, and the crazy thunder and lightning power gathered in his hands. Coupled with the strengthening of the armed ring, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but be moved by this powerful destructive power.
"So powerful..."
He secretly marveled at the opponent's strength. If he had been the one to receive this blow, it would probably be difficult for him to withstand it head-on.
Although the spells used by the indigenous people in this world are not pure dark spiritual power, their defense is almost non-existent in front of the latter.
But this does not mean that their attack power is low.
On the contrary, the energy limit of a ninth-level peak person like McCarvey is very terrifying. If he is replaced with dark spiritual power, Zhang Xiaoman even thinks that he has the strength close to that of an intermediate controller.
"boom!!"
An explosion echoed in everyone's ears.
I saw the thunder in McAvey's hand being released, hitting the yellow barrier with a power that could destroy the world.
Everyone held their breath at this moment, looking forward to the scene of the barrier being breached.
"Chi~"
However, a slight friction sound was heard, and the thunder McAvey released with all his strength disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea. However, the barrier was not damaged at all, and there was not even the slightest ripple. The pair looks as good as ever.
"impossible!"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes shrank, the scene in front of him was really beyond his expectation.
Even if McCarvey's attack couldn't break the barrier, it was outrageous that such a powerful thunder blast didn't even cause a splash of water!
Immediately afterwards, as McAvey's attack was launched, the barrier also reflected a yellow lightning, which was stopped by Zhang Xiaoman who came to his senses.
"What the hell is this! I don't believe I can't break its turtle shell today!"
Yohad became angry and yelled as if he was about to rush over and hit the barrier with a few more axes.
"Don't be impulsive, Yohad!"
Zhang Xiaoman stopped the other party with words.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the weak vibration force coming from before his eyes, and felt that something was wrong in his heart.
In fact, he had already noticed something was wrong when he saw the barrier below, but he couldn't tell where it was specifically.
Now that he saw McCarvey returning in defeat, Zhang Xiaoman began to carefully recall his previous experiences, trying to find a way to break the situation.
"The range of this barrier is very large, and the intensity is also ridiculously high. Coupled with its duration, the energy consumed for so long must be very huge..."
"Although this world is enveloped by a huge barrier as soon as it reaches the ground, there is no comparison between the forbidden air barrier and the defensive barrier in front of us. If those gods want to prevent others from coming up, they should not use it too much. Two high-cost barriers are used for protection. They only need to interrupt the mountain..."
Zhang Xiaoman thought of this and suddenly glanced towards the side of the barrier. The two lightning attacks seemed to come from there.
He fell into deep thought, and then his eyes twitched slightly.
"The attack fed back by the barrier shouldn't be attacking from the front. Why would it come from there..."
His heart moved, and a hint of understanding suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Could it be that……"
Zhang Xiaoman broke away from Alculus, and his body slowly floated towards the barrier in front.
"Pole Star!?"
Behind him, McCarvey and others couldn't help but look worried when they saw his actions.
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand behind him to indicate that he was fine.
Immediately afterwards, he came to a position less than one meter in front of the barrier and gently placed his palm against it.
Everyone also watched this scene with bated breath.
The next second, a yellow barrier emerged, blocking Zhang Xiaoman's palm from the outside. It could not penetrate directly as some people expected.
Zhang Xiaoman also felt a burning sting coming from the palm of his hand the moment he came into contact with the barrier. He quickly took back his palm and saw that the palm of his hand had been burnt black.
"Uh-huh!"
The lightning feedback attack struck again. This time Zhang Xiaoman did not use the shield directly, but raised his other hand to catch it abruptly.
"Pole Star! How are you!?"
Regina asked anxiously. Everyone saw him being attacked and did not turn on the shield defense. They were all worried now.
Zhang Xiaoman did not answer them, but raised his hands in front of him, palms facing up, and looked down at the injuries.
The right hand that touched the barrier was a scorched lake, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
As for the left hand that resisted the yellow lightning, you can see the obvious white traces left by the lightning attack. Although the palm is a little numb, it is not serious.
The golden light flashed in Zhang Xiaoman's eyes. He stared at his hands in silence for a long time, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, so that's it..."
When everyone saw this, their expressions perked up, knowing that he had achieved results.
I saw Zhang Xiaoman flying back to Elkulus's head, and then let the other two frost dragons come closer to him.
"Putting another layer of enchantment on top of the real enchantment not only reduces the consumption, but also allows those who want to break through the boundary to make a lot of useless efforts and finally be killed or expelled. It's really clever. Means..."
The smile on his face faded and he returned to a calm look.
"It's a pity that I have already found out..."
Zhang Xiaoman fired a burst of spells from his hands, and little fluorescent lights appeared from his fingertips, as if they appeared directly in everyone's minds.
Magical power to destroy illusions!
With the flash of fluorescence, a white light illuminated everyone's hearts. They only saw that the yellow barrier that had been blocking them suddenly disappeared, and then came the towering paradise. The tower also disappeared, and everything seemed to be just an illusion.
