Chapter 519
Earth.
The floating continent, Tree Shade City.
Ever since a few months ago, when the lord had forcefully killed an alien Transcendent, Tree Shade’s defensive circle had been calm throughout this period of time.
Needless to say, Tree Shade City, which was floating in the air, was now enjoying the long-lost peace in the city of Tree Shade, who was in the east and the other arched guards.
The surging Mana Tide was stopped at the outpost and turned into the best place for the Hunters to hunt.
Now,
With the influx of a large number of Hunters.
Within the defensive circle alone, the number of registered adventurers had exceeded three million.
A group of adventurers rushed to the front line to hunt demonic beasts. The defensive circle had new outposts built almost every day, constantly expanding outwards.
Despite this, there were still tens of thousands of adventurers in each outpost.
These people used to be outposts and set out for the surroundings.
The forests covered dozens of meters of tall trees, the city ruins covered in moss, the dangerous places like deserts… were all the hunting places for adventurers.
In the past, when Hunters went deep into the wilderness to search for supplies, they were different from how difficult it was to kill demonic beasts.
The current ‘Adventurer Guild’ had a more complete mechanism.
Every outpost had a guild point. Not only could they receive and hand over missions, it was also a place for adventurers to exchange information.
Which region has powerful demonic beasts? Where is the danger level higher, how the demonic beasts are distributed, and so on
The information submitted by countless adventurers was compiled at the guild point. A detailed monster distribution map appeared on the paper, and it was updated from time to time.
Adventurers followed the detailed information of the guide. In some areas where the danger level was not high, the demonic beasts were quickly killed and turned into protected animals.
The danger level of the area dropped again and again.
Sometimes, the guild also issued some large-scale missions to organize adventurers to clear some high-risk areas.
Under the management of equipment, levels, information, and order, even the strength of a demonic beast was slowly increasing as time pa.s.sed. For example, the first and second level demonic beast had become a rare treasure. The third, fourth, and fifth levels were the mainstream, and there were many sixth, seventh, and eighth levels.
The high-risk area was much more dangerous than the time when Lin Dong Shelter cleared Maple Leaf Town.
There were many high-level demonic beasts that had awakened.
The Calamity Grade demonic beasts also began to form teams.
However, the casualty rate was much lower.
It was not like the previous Lindong where almost everyone was mobilized. The “Adventurer Guild” only used two or three outposts and four to five outposts nearby.
Starting from the periphery, they continuously cleared out the magic beasts in the high-risk area.
The density of the magic beasts decreased again and again. When the time was right, the Survey Corps would directly attack… In the face of the disaster level magic beasts, there was no need for followers to take action. Whether it was the proficient combination combat skills or the combat equipment of the corps, they all had the ability to kill the disaster level magic beasts.
If the process was short, it would take two to three days, and if it were forlong, it would take four to five days.
When the Hunters of the Survey Corps suppressed the abyss crack and replaced it with the garrison corps to defend, the dark red area on the map turned into a light yellow color.
Once the outpost advanced forward and crossed the area, the light yellow color turned into a light green color representing the safety area.
Ordinary people, as long as they had some self-defense weapons, could also move in the light green area.
For several months,
Tree Shade’s defensive circle continued to expand, reclaiming quite a few lost cities.
For example, Lin City, Shuo City, etc..
Unfortunately, since the outbreak of the apocalypse,
It had been almost a year now. These cities had been searched many times, and there weren’t many valuable resources. At most, they were some high-end equipment that could be used as a reference… After all, the current was unstable, and the current research equipment had almost all been converted into source crystals.
On the contrary, there were some transit stations that had a lot of people and developed a prosperous business. The transit stations continued to expand and gradually evolved into a small town of considerable scale.
The former outpost of the stream wood had now become the center of the defensive circle.
First, it was renamed as a transit station. Later, because the green horizontal railway pa.s.sed through the stream wood and the dock station, the stream wood transit station became more prosperous.
Now, it had become a small town with a population of 20,000 to 30,000.
Most of them were professional merchants who bought materials from the frontline adventurers at a low price. After some simple processing, they would sell them out.
A single industry chain was enough to support countless people.
Currently, there were some companies with decent scale in the defense circle. He Qingqing’s clothing company was considered outstanding among them.
Naturally, they produced civilian products.
Runic equipment, props, potions, and other combat products were still Tree Shade’s official support industry. It was also one of the reasons why Tree Shade’s defense circle became the most popular holy land on Earth.
Another point was naturally strength.
“Have you heard? Guts of the Sair Dynasty has broken through to the second level of Transcendent in recent days! He is probably the first human on Earth to break through to the second level of Transcendent!”
“Second level of Transcendent? Emmmm sounds very powerful, but I just don’t understand.”
Let’s put it this way. Although Transcendent ranks are above mortals, there are still differences between strong and weak. One strong Transcendent can fight five… And the Transcendents we usually call are all at the first level of Transcendent.
“For example, we are at the first level of awakening. Every breakthrough is an improvement, and the gap between Transcendent ranks is even greater. The difficulty of breaking through from the first level to the second level is no less than breaking through from the great circle of the awakened realm to Transcendent.”
With that said, the group of people nodded in realization, their gazes filled with admiration.
The first awakened who spoke was very pleased as he waved his hand and continued,
“This is not the main point. I heard that Lord Guts killed ten foreign Transcendents in a row after breaking through to the second level of Transcendence. He even destroyed the base of a particular foreign race. This is a rare great victory for us humans in the past two months.”
“You guys don’t know, but this news has already spread like wildfire in the Sacred City. We have secretly ranked the top ten Sacred Grounds. The Sier Sacred Mountain has already risen to second place, and there is a chance that it will surpa.s.s the current number one Tree Shade.”
“There is even more explosive news. I heard that Ancient Spirit, some of the Transcendents who are stuck at the peak of Rank One are preparing to head to the Mountain of Saier to learn from it. I also heard that the price of houses in the small town under the Mountain of the Mountain has soared.”
There was a huge gap between Rank One and Rank Two.
Ordinary Hunters did not understand, but the experts and even Transcendents among them knew very well what Guts’s breakthrough meant.
His combat strength soared, and his Rank Two life-saving ability was even more extraordinary. Even if he met an enemy that could crush him, a Rank Two Transcendent would have ways to escape.
Moreover, he was the number one person on Earth!
With the help of Guts’s breakthrough, the glorious battle achievements of the foreign race’s Transcendents were greatly expanded.
Using this opportunity, they gathered a group of potential Hunters, and some of the Fourth Age’s Transcendents joined Sair Dynasty in order to reach a higher level.
However, ordinary hunter would not be able to come into contact with such a high level. To them, Guts’s breakthrough was just a topic of conversation.
Even the hunter who threw out the information were also heard from the Holy City as their capital to boast.
To enjoy the admiration and admiration of the other hunter.
At this moment,
A newbie Awakened asked, “That Gu whatever’s record of breaking through to Tier 2 was to kill ten foreign Transcendents, but didn’t our City Lord kill twenty to thirty foreign Transcendents a few months ago? In that case, the City Lord’s realm should be even higher, right? How could that Guts be the number one in Tier 2!”
What he said made sense.
The veteran hunter could not refute.
…
Tang Yu was clear.
The news… was true.
Guts was indeed the first person to break through to the second level of the Transcendent realm.
“I heard that he broke through from the fusion of five cores.”
The breakthrough of the fusion of three Origin Power cores was an ordinary second level breakthrough.
The breakthrough of the fourth core was the second level of elite.
As for the fifth Origin Energy Core, it was already one of the best.
Before the Holy City opened, Guts had been a second-core or three-core veteran Transcendent. Tang Yu was not surprised that he had gained something in the Sacred City and broke through to the second level.
“Only five cores…”
He touched his chin and actually felt that he was really weak.
Did I swell up?
Tang Yu asked himself, but he didn’t think so.
After all,
Inside his Qi Sea, on the lake where a ma.s.sive amount of Origin Energy was rising and falling, seven resplendent Origin Energy cores formed a ring, absorbing the gushing Origin Energy. After condensing the power, they were then sent back to the Origin Energy Lake.
He felt that his body was filled with an indescribable power.
With a casual snap of his fingers, the condensed Origin Energy shock wave was enough to flatten a building that was several hundred meters in radius.
It was so strong that even he was afraid.
“Second stage Transcendent, but it’s not like I haven’t fought before.”
With the large amount of information he obtained from the Holy City, “spiritual s.p.a.ce” could also simulate an enemy of the second stage Transcendent.
As a Seven Core expert, he could confidently say, Second stage Transcendent? I can’t remember the number of those who lost to me.
As for the reason why he could condense seven cores, it was because of the existence of the “Pure Origin Energy Pool” and the ma.s.sive amount of resources he had to expend at all costs… Great Lord Tang chose to ignore it.
I used my ability to cheat, why would I have to feel guilty?
However, the strongest point of a second stage Transcendent is the ability of quantization or rebirth by dripping blood. It is a characteristic that is close to immortality. It is very suitable for exploring some dangerous places. With a Return Scroll, I won’t have to worry about being sneak attacked in the future.
Moreover, Guts is a second stage fusion of five cores. The innate divine ability of the Sair royal family is also extremely strong in terms of combat strength. If we really fight, I have a high chance of not being a match for him. I can’t expand… It’s a pity that I don’t have Guts’s data. Otherwise, I can try it in the spiritual s.p.a.ce.
Tang Yu rubbed his chin and suddenly had a bold idea.
It was unrealistic to invite Guts to be a guest of Tree Shade.
However,
I heard that there is a bustling little town under the mountain. It is an important place for them to communicate with the outside world. Sometimes, the extraordinary of the royal family is also in the town.
Tang Yu wondered if he could set up a sub-territory there and build a training camp. Maybe one day, Guts entered the “spiritual s.p.a.ce” and gave him a holographic scan. The data was more detailed.
“I have to take it slow. Can the Psychic Energy value be used indiscriminately?”
One territory was worth a million Psychic Energy Points.
Just the two territories opened by the capital and the range of the territory alone cost more than two million… Psychic Energy Points were even more precious than Origin Crystals.
Tang Yu opened the system panel.
His ability value was 513,000.
It was really not much.
He relied on the contract and sent a group message to Tree Shade’s followers.
He asked about their cultivation progress.
Nancy Eight Cores.
Elaine Seven Cores.
Kong Seven Cores.
Luo Zhe Six Cores.
Grett’s Six Cores.
Winnie’s Six Cores.
…
The first three cores only absorbed energy. The success rate of condensation could be called 100. It was just an ordinary extraordinary cultivation. If there was no opportunity, one could not condense a core in a hundred years.
Starting from the fourth core, there is a chance of failure.
Different from person.
For example, the probability of condensing the fourth core is 80%, the fifth is 50%, and the sixth is 30%…
Once the condensation fails, the Genesis Qi that has been absorbed for decades and centuries will dissipate. It is equivalent to the decades of cultivation wasted.
It might even affect the Origin Energy Core that had been condensed before, causing the core to be damaged.
Tang Yu felt that this was similar to the strengthening rules of some unscrupulous games in the past… +4, +5, +6, but after failing once, it fell back to +3.
He felt that Guts had the ability to condense the sixth core, but he did not dare to gamble. If he failed, not only would it waste a lot of time, but it was also possible to fall back to the fourth or even the third core realm.
Even in the Second Epoch when Origin Star was at its peak, those who had the ability to condense seven cores were outstanding people.
His future achievements were limitless.
“If not for the fact that cultivating normally would take too much time, I would also be a genius.”
Tang Yu shook his head and sighed.
Unfortunately,
He chose to cheat.
The energy he needed to cultivate and absorb had the “Pure Source Energy Pool”, so it wouldn’t take much time.
Strengthening… Cough, the success rate of condensing Origin Energy Cores is too low. The consumption of Mental Energy can increase the success rate of a breakthrough.
It’s just that every time I condense an Origin Energy core, I need to stabilize it for a period of time. Otherwise, the success rate will be too low. Even if the main character halo is added, it will still be useless.
“It’s still half a month away from Nancy condensing eight cores. Counting the time, it should be about time.”
“The capital is vast. Without enough high-level combat strength, I can’t be rash and don’t dare to be reckless. It’s really… really unpleasant!”
He walked out of the room and went next door. He knocked on Nancy’s door.
