"Holy Artifact?" those who knew were shocked beyond asure.
Those who didn’t understand also slightly opened their mouths, pretending to keep up with the conversation.
Each Holy Land force possessed its extraordinary inheritance, and the Holy Artifacts passed down from the era of the Ancient Spirit Royal Family ranked within the top three or two in terms of Holy Land inheritance.
Most representatives from the Super Forces didn’t understand what a Holy Artifact was, let alone the power of a Holy Artifact.
Even among the Transcendents from the Super Forces, the vast majority did not possess Transcendent Divine Weapons.
"How powerful is a Holy Artifact, really? Can it threaten that world-level Demonized Beast?"
Sitting beside the Ancient Spirit Emperor, a Senior Transcendent had finally retrieved his confidence and pride as a mber of the royalty of one of the Fourth Epoch’s Three Great Countries since the eting started.
"What is a Holy Artifact? It is a treasure capable of manipulating the Laws! It can even unleash power comparable to a Saint’s full-strength strike. According to the literature, that world-level Demonized Beast is only ’Pseudo Holy’—far inferior to a Saint."
Many Transcendents brightened upon hearing this, their previously suppressed emotions significantly relaxed.
This was true for many from Beiting, Myriad Buddha Valley, and the Hero Club.
However, only a few remained grave.
The leader from Warrendo shook his head, "Indeed, a Holy Artifact can exhibit incredible power, but are you certain it can harness the full extent of that power?"
Naturally, it was impossible.
That was a weapon ant for Saints, and a group of Transcendents, who didn’t even reach Domain Level, fell far short.
"Moreover, ’Purcell Divine Mountain’ is also a Holy Artifact, but..."
He didn’t continue, but the others recalled the scene they just witnessed: the Divine Mountain crumbling on one side and fleeing on the other under the ferocious strike of the world-level Demonized Beast.
A Holy Artifact couldn’t withstand the destruction?
It was uncertain whether anyone from the Purcell Royal Family had survived.
Suddenly, their mood plumted, like a rollercoaster diving into the depths.
"You make a valid point, but we need not be too pessimistic."
The Ancient Spirit Emperor spoke up, "’Purcell Divine Mountain’ was, after all, a damaged Holy Artifact with only the upper half intact. The lower half of the Divine Mountain was repaired over thousands of years by the Purcell Royal Family using countless precious materials, but...
How could they possibly restore a Holy Artifact? It rely had the semblance of one!
Clearly, the part patched up by the Purcell Royal Family collapsed imdiately under the powerful attack."
"And," Imperial Lord Ancient Heavenly Venerate shared a secret unknown to most, "’Purcell Divine Mountain’ is a ’Palace-type" Holy Artifact, primarily used for storage, escape, and preserving life. Naturally, its offensive capabilities are ordinary.
However, our Ancient Spirit inheritance’s Holy Artifact is an ’Attack Type’ Holy Artifact. I admit it is difficult to unleash the true power of a Holy Artifact, possibly having only enough for one strike, but if used well, it could severely injure, or even kill, that terrifying world-level Demonized Beast."
Of course, the hope for complete annihilation was slim since the Ancient Spirit Royal Family’s treasure, ’Lustrous Sun Bow’, was also a damaged Holy Artifact.
This was sothing Imperial Lord Ancient Heavenly Venerate would not say; he looked toward Tang Yu.
Now, only Green Shadow had yet to reveal his trump card.
A Floating Island? So mysterious ancient Array? Or...
Tang Yu was lost in thought.
The trump card of Ancient Spirit was sowhat beyond his expectations.
The Three Great Countries of the Fourth Epoch indeed had profound inheritances. Although Warrendo didn’t possess a Holy Artifact, their chanical City was more mysterious and powerful than their presented ’Star Annihilation Flying Boat’.
It was said to also be an inheritance from the Second Epoch’s Radiant Era.
Tang Yu even speculated that Warrendo hadn’t shown the chanical City because they wanted to leave themselves a way out in case the campaign against the world-level Demonized Beast failed and humanity lacked the power to resist – Warrendo... could at least pilot the chanical City into the cosmos to preserve the last spark of civilization.
Thus, Tang Yu could not demand that Warrendo reveal the chanical City, just as he himself couldn’t possibly sacrifice along with Earth if things turned dire.
"Our Green Shadow can allow a part of our people to exponentially increase their strength in a short ti."
"How much of an increase?"
"Over ten tis."
"Oh, over ten tis, wait, ten... TEN tis?!"
An almost cracking voice of astonishnt ca from the side, and seeing everyone looking over, the speaker embarrassingly closed his mouth, but the shock in his eyes was unmistakable.
How powerful would a Transcendent be, enhanced tenfold?Undoubtedly, he could dominate his peers with just one hand and a basic Transcendent could crush advanced Transcendents.
This temporary increase in strength didn’t co at the cost of potential exhaustion.
Also, it could enhance physical constitution, Source Qi, and spiritual power in all aspects.
—With the power of the World Tree combined with "Telekinesis value," the consumption was reduced considerably, making it feasible to enhance about a dozen people to support one battle.
After a thorough inquiry, even Ancient Heavenly Venerate showed a pleased expression.
Even if his strength increased tenfold, he still wouldn’t be able to confront a World-Level Demonized Beast head-on.
But,
it could allow him to exert greater power when wielding a Holy Artifact!
All his trump cards combined, the odds of winning might not be high, but undoubtedly, he had the capital to fight.
No one wants to give up their own family business!
Just as they were preparing to discuss specific battle strategies, they heard the Green Shadow City Lord continue, "Of course, our Green Shadow can still bring out other trump cards, but before that, we need to eliminate a certain unstable factor to prevent any leaks."
"???"
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.
Could there be a traitor among them?
But everyone present was a high-level leader of major forces and all were Transcendents—it made no sense for them to betray the Human Race!
Many had expressions that shifted mysteriously.
Following the gaze of the Green Shadow City Lord, their eyes fell on a burly middle-aged man.
He was one of the great powers’ leaders, the Red Fla City Lord, and one of the two Transcendents from Red Fla City attending the eting.
The other Transcendent from Red Fla City was furious.
How could his leader possibly be a traitor!
It must be the Green Shadow City Lord trying to suppress dissent and establish his authority!
"You—"
He began to curse in anger, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if his neck was being choked.
An invisible fluctuation swept through, filling the entire eting room with faint golden light; visible Source Qi particles moved about, the air distorted, and the space shifted.
The immobilized Red Fla City Lord had a faint shadow struggling to erge behind his forehead.
...
In South Arica,
the Hundred-Winged Demon Snake Emperor coiled within the dark clouds, its presence overwhelming.
The land was desolate, covered with black cracks, looking like scorched earth.
In just two days, the concentration of Source Qi here had dropped significantly; within the range of scorched earth, there was no sign of life, just utter silence.
"Lord Mo Ke, as you predicted, the Human Transcendents are gathering together, discussing their so-called counterasures."
"Hmm."
Mo Ke stood at the edge of an Abyssal Rift, his syringe-like tail coiled around his waist. After devouring Gulete, his aura had beco even more profound, and his pupils occasionally flashed with brilliance.
If one observed carefully, they could see the space around him slightly twisting.
The innate talent of the Purcell Royal Family, after being devoured by him, was employed to a greater extent.
The Alien Races behind him regarded him with even greater awe.
"But my Lord, since we have already devastated South Arica and are no longer adopting a gentle extraction thod, why not strike in one go and obliterate all Human powers?"
Devouring a Life Planet’s Origin mainly involved utilizing the Abyssal Rift, with the Alien Races assisting through various ans.
Typically,
they adopted a asured mining approach, not instantly slaughtering all beings of a planet.
The reason being,
to harvest more of the planet’s Origin.
Average Basic Life Planets needed a few months, Interdiate Life Planets one to two, or two to three years; Advanced Life Planets often required five to ten years... These were the experiences gained by the "Devil Race" after devouring the origins of countless Life Planets.
In worlds like Aino, due to the presence of the World Tree, the extraction ti was much prolonged.
And for Origin Star, as the highest tier of Life Planets, gentle extraction would take at least fifty to sixty years.
But after the previous envoy of the Devil Race was killed, and either due to outrage among their higher-ups or fear of the Sages of Origin Star, Mo Ke had been hinted that there was no need for delay. Even if destructive mining ant losing so of the Origin, any potential threat from Origin Star must be completely eradicated.
Mo Ke’s plan indeed targeted the Ten Great Holy Lands.
His voice was sharp, "Don’t underestimate the contingencies of the Origin Star Sages. Even if none remain, those legacies should not be underestimated. Who knows what other Holy Lands have up their sleeves. If we had understood the Holy Artifact of the Purcell Royal Family earlier, they wouldn’t have escaped..."
"But well..." Mo Ke was confident, "I’ll give those Humans a little more ti to struggle. I have already had the Heart Demon Clan infiltrate the high ranks of the Human Race..."
So that was it!
The Alien Races behind him understood.
The Heart Demon Clan, best at infiltration, directly assimilated the target’s soul, much like possession, capturing the target’s aura, mories, and strength. Even a Saint, unless using a special Holy Artifact to probe the soul, would not detect any anomalies.
He knew of Green Shadow’s sophisticated scanning arrays; spies were hard to infiltrate, but could those compare to a Saint? Compare to a special Holy Artifact?
No wonder Lord Mo Ke was not in a rush at all.
