Can you build indestructible structures with Obsidian?

The answer is yes and no. TNT or Creepers or any enemy mob cannot destroy any structures you build with Obsidian Block. However, the destruction is possible of anything inside the Obsidian Structure.

In Minecraft, all explosions have a blast radius. Blast Radius affects all items within it. If you make an obsidian wall, place a chest on one side of the wall and TNT on the other side, light it, and let it explode. As a result, the explosion will destroy the chest but, the wall will remain intact.

Based on this, you can make obsidian walls to protect yourself and your items. By making walls at a reasonable distance away from the items you wish to protect. No mob can break through the obsidian section, and anything you want to safeguard is safe. Use it as a perimeter fence.
