Chapter 490: The Floating Green Shadow City, The Curtain Falls
Mountainous areas within the territory,
As an Elf controlling the entire mountain range, Zhen's strength increased as the mountains were continually being enhanced.
According to Zhen, it could now confront a Second Tier Transcendent head-on.
With a single move, it suppressed Mute Elder and eight other Alien Race Transcendents.
But it was merely suppression; to protect the Soul Ancient Tree, Zhen couldn't recklessly separate and break down the Alien Race Transcendents.
The Mute Elder knew this too and used humanity's weakness to her advantage, so she sent support Transcendents to directly attack Green Shadow City and disturb the enemy's focus.
However, in just a few seconds, the Mute Elder's expression changed drastically.
"The presence, it's gone! Has it fallen?!"
The presence of over twenty Transcendents, in the blink of an eye, was reduced to less than a dozen.
What exactly had happened?
A bad premonition came over her.
Four strong members of the Ghost Clan, sensing this, fled without hesitation.
The talent of the Ghost Clan allowed their bodies to switch between ethereal and solid states, but before they could even cover a few hundred meters, they found themselves frozen in place, plunging headfirst into the ground one by one.
"This is bad! Is it an Array or…"
Decisively, the Mute Elder shattered one of her Source Cores within her body…She, once a Five Cores genius, had previously shattered a core on the Star Road to escape from the jaws of a Second Tier beast. Now…
In an instant, she was reduced to a regular elite with only three cores.
Her aura surged massively, a phantom Source Core seemed to appear above her head, shattering and releasing a massive influx of Source Power into her body, causing the attached Source Power Qi Flames to abruptly increase multiple times.
She wielded a Divine Weapon Hammer, smashing the ground and creating a huge crater, shattering the concentrated Source Power hand formed by Zhen.
The next second,
She shot out like lightning, with the scenery around her rapidly reversing…
Boom—
Suddenly, the air in front of her solidified, harder than Grade A alloy, and the Mute Elder crashed into it head-on, the next second, she was enveloped by a restraining force…
BOOM!!!
A terrifying fireball exploded in the air, forming a brilliant red cloud that slowly dispersed after dozens of seconds.
A storm swept through, bending the stout trees and leaving the land in disorder.
Tang Yu let out a light breath.
At the last moment, he intended to restrain the self-destruction of the Blood Mouth Clan, but shattering the Source Power Core, combined with the power of the explosion, met resistance.
If restraining the Alien Race Transcendents before was like crushing a cardboard box, then just now, it was like crushing a box made of sturdy cardboard.
It wasn't too big.
Yet, inexplicably, he stopped.
Coming back to reality, the explosion had already occurred, fortunately, the area was uninhabited and the impact was minimal… except for the environment being in a bad state.
The green water and lush mountains of his home!
Tang Yu felt a pang, sighed lightly as he exited the mystical state, and opened the system panel, ready to check the changes the territory upgrade brought. Suddenly, his eyes widened…
"Where is my Telekinesis?!"
He clearly remembered having over four million before using one million for the territory upgrade, which should have left him with over three million!
He was not bad at math!
Looking at the barely remaining one million plus Telekinesis value on the display, Tang Yu furrowed his brows…then saw the Telekinesis value jump again, dropping by a few hundred… then a few hundred more...
Something's not right!
He concentrated, quickly tracing the cause of the consumption—the Transcendents he planted in the ground.
Finally, he understood where over two million Telekinesis values had been spent!
"Fortunately, I was somewhat lucid at the last moment, not forcibly stopping the strongest Transcendent's self-destruction, otherwise… I might have emptied the last of my reserves."
Understanding the reason, Tang Yu immediately had Eileen and Zhen deal with the Alien Race Transcendents, leaving only a few prisoners still planted there.
In less than a minute, from critical condition to resolving the enemy, but the matter was not yet truly concluded.
This time, due to his key role in averting disaster… ahem, his contribution… the human casualties were minimal… the only casualties were from a stampede inside the city.
But other losses were significant.
Right in front of the city wall, that newly constructed area was the closest to the Transcendent battlefield—due to the need to increase the success rate, Tang Yu had no choice at that moment. Systems like the "Source Locking Array" and the "Destruction Giant Cannon", which were not system constructions and complex to set up, and even more troublesome to relocate…
That newly constructed area was now a mess, the ground farther away pocked and uneven, some hilltops had been flattened, some streams cut off… Tang Yu felt another pang of pain.
Thinking of restoring those environmental features, even if he were to make Yan Dingtian labor…
Suddenly his expression changed, 100% Fitting Degree of the territory, sometimes just a thought would search out the correct response mode.
Re-entering "Sovereign Mode", this time Tang Yu limited his Perception range, focusing only on the area in front of the城墙 city wall.
"Indeed, the consumption has decreased a bit..."
He stretched out his hand, gently passing it over the uneven surface smoothed it, the severed streams flowed again with a gush, the gone hills… well if they're gone, let's not bother with them in case we need to expand and have to blast through mountains later.
After fixing these, looking again, the Telekinesis value spent was not much.
"Is it because this land itself is part of the territory? This must be the proper way to use Telekinesis values…"
Directly using it to restrain Alien Race Transcendents was too crude.
The most important thing was that few people could see or understand it, except for the Transcendents flying in the air and the members of the Guardian Corps on the city walls, who were contributing a great deal of telekinesis value at the moment. For the other survivors, the increase in contributions was just a bit more than usual. How could this small gain allow him to cut his losses in time?!
Additionally, after the territory upgrade, the defense installations had to be rearranged. On one hand to target Transcendents, and on the other hand to reduce the damage caused by the aftermath of battles.
Tang Yu fell into deep thought.
...
The city-building ceremony continued.
The song and dance music, which had been interrupted, once again resounded throughout Green Shadow. However, at this time, many people's minds were not on the celebration; they were still frightened. The immense pressure from high life forms left many Awakeners still pale-faced.
Conversely, some ordinary people had fainted the moment the powerful aura burst forth, and now, as they groggily awoke and asked around, they began to understand what had happened. But without having experienced it firsthand, they couldn't grasp the true point of fear; instead, they felt quite hungry and continued to gorge themselves.
"Where's City Lord… Tang's honorable person?"
A Transcendent from a top-tier force inquired.
In the recent battle, there were more Transcendents from Green Shadow that appeared than they had imagined, but the legendary City Lord Tang showed his face only at the beginning of the banquet.
Initially, they thought that the person fighting against several Alien Race Transcendents behind the mountains was City Lord Tang, but they quickly realized the aura was wrong.
It wasn't until the final moments, as a mighty force enveloped the Alien Race Transcendents, that these top-tier force Transcendents noticed.
What kind of method was that?
It was terrifying as… as…
For a time, especially in the eyes of the people from the Three Great Countries of the Fourth Epoch, Tang Yu's stature continually grew, rising to the level of an Ancestor, and they spoke with a trace of humility.
Even the people of the Purcell Royal Family felt the same.
Green Shadow might lack depth, but if they were strong enough, wasn't that all that mattered?!
"The City Lord… he still has some minor matters to tend to."
"Minor matters?"
During the conversation,
The ground began to tremble, and pebbles kept jittering.
The awakeners who had narrowly escaped death instantly became extremely vigilant, gazing keenly at their surroundings.
"Look, look over there, the mountain... it's getting taller!"
The back mountain of Green Shadow was just an ordinary mountain peak, not very high, but the trees became especially lush after the apocalypse.
At this moment,
The mountain,
Visible to the naked eye, was increasing in height, getting bigger.
Three hundred meters, four hundred meters, six hundred meters, one thousand meters…
It wasn't just the mountain that was expanding; the vegetation was growing as well, but it didn't appear sparse.
In the blink of an eye, the small mountain range behind Green Shadow had turned into a vast range of high mountains, with the main peak over one thousand meters tall, surrounded by smaller mountains shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling an Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, an Awakener frowned, his keen Perception making him feel, "It seems like we're rising?"
"It's not just seeming; we are rising indeed, f*ck!"
Looking into the distance, the surrounding mountains appeared lower and shorter, and there was a noticeable disparity at the horizon's edge.
Some Transcendents with the ability to fly couldn't restrain themselves anymore and soared high into the sky.
At this moment,
Maple Leaf Town, Lindong stationed an Army to suppress the Abyssal Rift.
The Army was conducting routine patrols around the Rift.
Suddenly,
The sky darkened.
"Alert!" the Army Commander shouted uncontrollably. As he looked up, there was a large piece of land slowly detaching from the ground.
It was like an inverted mountain peak, leaving a huge pit in the earth, with some fragments of rock sprinkling down, but not many.
Ultimately, this huge piece of land floated about one to two hundred meters above the ground, along with some smaller floating land pieces scattered around, resembling islands.
Even the Green Lin Railway track didn't break. The sandstone road carrying the tracks meandered and, with the help of midway floating islands, reached all the way to the ground.
...But had the track been stretched?
The Army Commander rubbed his eyes, not understanding how a routine patrol had stumbled upon this event.
What day was it today?
Oh, Green Shadow's City Building Day.
Wait a minute...Green Shadow!
What have they done now!
...
Green Shadow, Floating Islands.
High above,
A Purcell Royal Family genius, using the power of the wind, flew several kilometers away and saw the neatly scattered Floating Islands and the main Floating Continent. In the blink of an eye, black and white high towers were being built on the Floating Islands.
He gaped, looking at a Purcell Royal Family Transcendent beside him, "Second Uncle, Green Shadow City has taken flight."
Seeing that the Transcendent did not respond, he emphasized, "Second Uncle, Green Shadow City really has taken flight, and the surrounding vast lands too!"
You said it was impossible for Green Shadow City to fly!
