Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

More importantly, he also sensed that the Aries cosmos beneath the boulder had not disappeared, but instead was growing stronger.

boom!

The cracks on the surface of the boulder quickly expanded to their limit, and then exploded with a deafening roar, sending endless fragments of rock flying in all directions.

Celestial Star Locke did not dodge, but stood quietly in place, letting the pebbles hit him and clang against his Undergarments.

Once the shards of rock had cleared, Aries Shion's figure reappeared.

His holy armor was half torn, and he had several bleeding wounds, making him look extremely disheveled.

"Wow, that's really impressive!"

"I really underestimated you!" Shion sighed deeply.

Despite setting up four layers of crystal walls, he still couldn't withstand that terrifying attack.

Fortunately, in addition to the four layers of crystal walls, he also wore a 'crystal robe' on his body.

That's a variation of the Crystal Wall. Although it lost the Crystal Wall's reflective properties, it retained the Crystal Wall's strong basic defense.

Even so, despite being weakened by four layers of crystal walls and one layer of 'crystal robe', he was still seriously injured by Tianjiaoxing's attack.

Sighing won't help!

Skyhorn Star Locke couldn't help but mock, "Even if you survive one move, what about the second and third?"

"Let's see how many more times you can hold out!"

As he spoke, he launched another offensive.

"Rotating Cannonball Kill"

The endless fist energy transformed into spinning stone projectiles that shot out.

Although it was a move that Shion had seen before, it was much more ferocious than the previous one.

However, having already experienced the opponent's sudden surge in strength, Shion did not dare to take it head-on this time. He used Instant Transmission to dodge far away before the rain of stone projectiles could take shape.

Rumble!

The spinning projectiles fell one by one, creating small craters the size of washbasins in the open ground, but they did not harm Shion in the slightest.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

Having just gained a foothold, Shion decisively launched a counterattack.

A dazzling nebula materialized and directly enveloped the celestial horn, which had no time to escape.

Bang bang bang!

The stars in the nebula spun rapidly under the influence of gravity, continuously colliding with Arcturus.

However, Tianjiaoxing showed no sign of tension. Instead, he channeled his inner power, transforming it into a shockwave that spread outwards, constantly resisting the stars shooting towards him from all sides.

"You think you can defeat me with attacks like that? You're dreaming!"

With a furious roar from Tianjiaoxing, he took a deep breath and, after a brief pause, suddenly unleashed an even stronger surge of energy.

boom!

The spreading impact collided with the stars once again, but this time the impact was exceptionally strong, instantly annihilating most of the stars in the outer layer.

Immediately afterwards, the force of the impact and the collision with the stars tore open cracks in the brilliant nebula, and the bright stars gradually dimmed.

"not good!"

Shion's heart sank, and he decisively stopped the transfer of his cosmos.

Boom!

Then, a deafening roar was heard, and the brilliant nebula exploded instantly, releasing a terrifying shockwave.

"Crystal Wall"

Shion secretly rejoiced at having let go in time and quickly set up his strongest defense in front of him.

Boom!

The impact followed immediately, like a raging torrent crashing against his defensive wall. The force, weakened and transmitted back by the crystal wall, still sent him staggering back several steps, crashing directly into the wall of the Demon Palace behind him.

Long!

The walls of the Demon Palace also couldn't withstand the powerful aftershocks of the impact, and a large hole was instantly torn open.

"Stop struggling, just accept your death, Aries!" The now-free Arcturus Locke charged forward once more.

"Rotating Cannonball Kill"

Another round of stone projectiles formed in mid-air, then spun rapidly and bombarded Shion.

"You want me dead? Not so easy!"

Knowing he couldn't win by force, Shion decisively used Instant Transmission once again, tearing through space with his powerful teleportation to teleport himself away.

Boom!

The attack from Tianjiaoxing missed its target again. Countless stone projectiles bombarded down, directly collapsing the already damaged wall of the Demon Palace.

Swish!

Using telekinesis to lock onto the target, Shion teleported himself behind the Celestial Horn Star and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

There was no time to use any more combat techniques, so he quickly threw punches, and a dense barrage of fist energy rained down on Tianjiaoxing's back.

Rumble!

Caught off guard, Tianjiaoxing was sent flying by the sudden attack.

Chapter 472 The Scorching Staircase

boom!

The celestial star crashed heavily into the collapsed walls of the demon palace, instantly raising clouds of dust.

But then, the ruins of the wall exploded, and the figure of the Celestial Star reappeared.

"No need to waste your energy!"

Skyhorn Star Locke, beaming with smugness, sneered, "Your fists are so weak, they have no power whatsoever, they can only tickle me!"

"I think you should stop struggling!"

"Just obediently prepare to die!"

As he spoke, he pushed off with his feet, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball, charging towards Shion once again.

Having already experienced his opponent's strength, Shion dared not confront him head-on and could only choose to evade and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Although they were at a disadvantage, they were still able to barely protect themselves for a short time thanks to powerful combat techniques such as 'teleportation' and 'crystal wall'.

Meanwhile, Wuxin and the others continued to climb the cloud-like staircase.

However, along the way, no one was in the mood for idle chatter. Everyone hurried along in silence, and the only sounds were the clatter of shoes on the meteorite belt and each other's breathing.

Suddenly, Pegasus, who was leading the charge, slowed down and hesitated, saying, "There seems to be something ahead!"

He vaguely sensed that as he continued to ascend the stairs, the temperature of the surrounding air also rose.

It felt as if something was continuously releasing heat in front of us.

At first, because the distance was still quite far, he didn't feel anything, but as they got closer and closer to the upper steps, the temperature around them became higher and higher, giving him a feeling of being in a tropical savanna.

This is extremely abnormal.

Because air temperature should decrease as altitude increases.

Sasha glanced ahead and said seriously, "That's a person, a person like the sun, constantly radiating heat in all directions!"

With her divine vision, she could already see what was happening ahead.

"A person who is like the sun?"

The Saints exchanged glances, and a vague answer formed in their hearts.

Long ago, Shion and Dohko went to Italy, the hometown of Pegasus, to conduct reconnaissance. There, they encountered Hades Aaron and clashed with Hades' subordinate, the Specter Tenpokai.

That man, as fierce as the sun, fought Dohko to a standstill, which became the root cause of Dohko's later death and left a deep impression on all the Saints.

"I think there can't be anyone else besides the Heavenly Explosion Starfire!" Wu Xin immediately concluded.

In particular, Tianjianxing also provided information that the guardian of the Third Demon Palace seems to be Tianbaoxing Huihuo.

"It must be him!"

The other Saints nodded in agreement.

Sasha observed further, and then said to everyone, "Just as we guessed before, as the guardian of Earth's Demon Palace, Tianbao Star has also received planetary power bestowed by Pluto."

"However, he seems to be able to exert the power of planetary forces even more than the Celestial Star."

"He has broken through to the level of the eighth sense."

"The heat in the air is caused by his inability to fully control his power, resulting in the continuous dissipation of energy!"

Having also gained planetary power, Tianjiaoxing's strength was enhanced to some extent, but it did not completely exceed the scope of the Seventh Sense.

However, Tianbaoxing in front of him underwent a complete qualitative improvement and officially entered the realm of the Eighth Sense.

Combined with that planetary power, his strength has reached an extremely formidable level.

"So, facing such a formidable enemy, who should stay behind to hold him off?" Odysseus of Ophiuchus turned and glanced at the crowd.

However, his gaze was mainly fixed on Wuxin and Regulus.

Because only the eighth sense can counteract the eighth sense.

Although he also grasped the Eighth Sense, it was definitely not a good choice for him to stay.

After all, as a physician, he wasn't particularly skilled in combat.

At least, that's true when comparing items of the same level.

Upon hearing this, Wuxin and Regulus exchanged a glance, and then spoke the same words to each other in unison.

"You're staying?"
