Chapter 601: Battle of Speed
The black substance was like hardened rock but with a glistening surface. It formed shapes like walls, protecting Zhang Haoran and the altar. The moment it took a direct hit from the Pillar of Heaven’s Judgement—
Dong! Rumble!
A loud sound, like metal being struck, resounded as the entire area trembled under the impact. The ground beneath the defensive wall was pushed back by the force of the strike, the black wall trembled heavily, but, amazingly, it was not destroyed.
Aldrian, watching this, raised his eyebrows. The defensive wall still held even after taking a direct hit from his full-powered Pillar of Heaven’s Judgement was truly surprising, but not unexpected. He knew Zhang Haoran might possess methods unknown to him.
Zhang Haoran held knowledge of the higher heavens, after all, and must have many tricks to block attacks like this.
Unknown to Aldrian, what Zhang Haoran had just used was his most powerful defensive technique, one he received directly from Tarius. This technique was a reward given to him after completing a certain mission in the past.
It was Zhang Haoran’s trump card in defense, something that normally wouldn’t be brought out during the initial phase of battle. However, he truly had no choice. The attack Aldrian unleashed was terrifying for his current self.
The strange properties of the golden energy and the sheer power behind the strike made him unwilling to rely on the invisible shield protecting the altar. He had no idea what kind of effect that golden energy might have on the barrier surrounding it.
It was better to use his strongest defensive technique first, as it was the only one capable of withstanding an attack at the level of the Pseudo Immortal Foundation stage.
Sensing the power of the attack, he was glad he had used it from the start, as the force behind it was truly terrifying. But he did not wait or remain passive, he immediately used another one of his techniques.
He touched the ground, and suddenly, many giant symbols of a summoning formation appeared around him. There were a total of twenty summoning formations!
