A black giant palm obscured the Heavenly Do, and an indescribable pressure enveloped all the Transcendents within tens of kiloters.
It was as if a pause button had been pressed, the space beneath the black giant palm frozen in amber. Everyone had their eyes wide open, unable to struggle.
Tang Yu was the first to bear the brunt, facing a Holy Tier strike head-on, the pressure... far more intense than any Saint’s might he had felt back in the old Royal Capital, stronger by untold magnitudes.
He too found it difficult to move, the operation of his Source Power falling into sluggishness, creeping forward increntally like a snail.
Shadows enveloped him, slowly spreading to the Floating Island behind him.
Under the black giant palm, the majestic Floating Islands seed rely like a small toy. As the giant palm fell, no one doubted whether the islands would shatter into pieces.
Huff~
Huff~
The Rune Stone, containing a Holy Tier strike, was a one-off item, unlike a Holy Artifact; once activated, Mo Ke had no control over it.
The giant palm advanced in a steep downward line, flattening all obstacles in its path.
The speed was not particularly fast.
At least for him, a Second Tier Transcendent, Tang Yu still had the wherewithal to let his mind wander slightly.
With his speed, escaping before the palm struck was not difficult—the premise being that he could move quickly under the oppressive aura of a Holy Tier strike.
Clearly, that was impossible.
Monts later, he burned his Source Power, and the speed of its operation escalated from a snail’s pace to that of walking, still nothing compared to the Maserati he had once known.
Unless... he used a Return City Scroll or employed Instant Teleportation.
However, behind him lay millions on the Floating Islands, territories he had painstakingly built up since the apocalypse.
His territory as Lord Tang could not tolerate the desecration by a black giant palm!
Tap tap tap—
The massive Floating Islands moved slowly, gaining speed, moving away towards the distance.
But still too slow, unable to escape the encompassing range before the giant palm struck.
Tang Yu raised an eyebrow, his fingers mimicking a grabbing motion.
Boom boom boom!
Dark clouds quickly gathered, lightning flashing and thunder roaring. In an instant, lightning filled with destructive power descended from the sky.
Above the black giant palm, arcs of lightning flickered, hundreds of bolts hamring the huge hand.
The entire black giant palm, as if covered by a net of lightning, dispersed monts later, the palm almost completely unscathed.
...
Mo Ke watched this scene unfold, his laughter growing increasingly wild.
He turned to leave.
From great advantage to slight advantage, then to disadvantage...
In a daze, Mo Ke couldn’t quite understand how, in a blink of an eye, he found himself almost on the brink of death.
A Holy Tier strike was indeed unsurpassable, but Mo Ke had never hoped that a single strike would turn the tide.
It was like shooting mosquitoes with a cannon—how many could one blast kill?
Unless the Green Shadow City Lord swore to share life and death with the Floating Islands. Otherwise, Mo Ke dared not hope that the Holy Tier strike could obliterate Tang Yu. Given the unexpected developnts since the fight began, he had lost confidence in himself.
Advance, the Holy Tier strike would level the Floating Islands, annihilating the Green Shadow City Lord.
Retreat, with the oppressive might of the black giant palm, he could still make an orderly exit... catastrophic as it was for the previous Envoy!
Mo Ke struck out, the chest armor of Puppet Guard Number Two caved in, sending the entire body flying thousands of miles.
He seized the mont to break out of the encirclent, looked up at the Floating Airship Fleet, hesitated but did not attack, and bitterly fled into the distance.
His speed was sowhat impacted by the Holy Tier’s pressure, only a few kiloters out when he suddenly detected Heaven and Earth Source Qi converging like floodgates had opened.
The nearly tangible Source Qi, visible to the naked eye, ford vibrant clouds.
Land, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, clouds... Everything around seed to co alive in an instant.
Mo Ke couldn’t help but look back, eyes wide.
"How can this be—"
...
...
Green Shadow, Floating Islands.
Since noon, the rumbling sound akin to rolling thunder had never ceased.
The sky alternated between dark and light, terrifying world-class Demonized Beasts appeared before the eyes of ordinary people for the first ti.
From Awakener Tier Perfections down to ordinary survivors, a cloud of gloom had continually overshadowed their hearts.
The battles at the Transcendent level were dazzling; they couldn’t make out the details.
All they saw was like an apocalyptic disaster, the earth-shattering explosions, the swiftly fleeting colossal sun...
Hours passed, and ti after ti, despair was shattered, the light of dawn was about to pierce through the darkness.
But at that mont,
a gigantic hand that blocked out the sun pressed down.
Despair surged like a tide once again.
Thanks to the "Holy Light Protection" enveloping the entire Floating Island and the "World Tree" rooted in the back mountain, which weakened a lot of the oppressive aura, although many Awakeners were still engulfed in great terror, unable to move, at least, they were not stunned unconscious.
Yet, in the face of this world-ending catastrophe, those who were seen as powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, those at high Awakening Tiers, even those at Awakening Perfection, were just as powerless as ordinary people.
Dragon Slayer Chen Sheng stood on the rooftop of a tall building, surrounded by several top leaders of the adventure group.
From Lindong to Green Shadow, from being a commander of a rcenary Team to now a renowned adventure group commander and possessing the strength of Awakening Perfection, his life was a success.
In Green Shadow, he had often conversed and laughed with other ’big shots’ and had even t several high-level officials of Green Shadow.
He had even spoken with the founder of Green Shadow!
Yet at this mont, Chen Sheng’s eyes were fixedly staring above, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms, drops of blood falling - he seed oblivious to it all.
Too weak,
too powerless!
At this mont of critical survival for Green Shadow City, he could only watch helplessly, not even qualified to join the battlefield!
"We must... hold onto it! Please!"
He slowly raised his hand, his right fist resting on his left shoulder.
Behind him, the senior mbers of the adventure group, too, one by one, difficultly made the sa gesture.
Unable to enter the battlefield, they could only, in their own way, with their own faith, offer this insignificant support.
They were also people of Green Shadow!
Humanity... will endure!
...
In front of the great gate of the Extre Martial Arts Hall, Sun Yu, Cai Jiajia, and other core apprentices had gathered in the open ground.
Behind them was a densely packed crowd of people.
So couldn’t withstand the pressure, stood unsteadily, clenched their teeth to support themselves, so knelt, unwilling to fall, still with heads raised, staring fixedly at the increasingly close and massive hand that covered the sky.
"We... will win!"
Sun Yu spoke with a quiver, suddenly raising his hand, all five fingers together, stretching towards the heavens.
More and more apprentices and students of the Martial Arts Hall raised their hands, those who couldn’t lift them, tried their utmost to raise their heads, their lips already bleeding.
In the square in front of the adventurer guild.
At this mont, it was eerily silent, figures stood upright, looking up at the sky.
On streets,
inside houses,
atop rooftops,
among the mountains,
those standing, kneeling, prostrating, nearly fainting...
So clasped their hands together; so had their fingers together, right middle finger lightly pressing the temple; so held a clenched right fist to their chest...
Invisible specks of light erged from each person.
Waves of unyielding spirits, streams of undying resolve, at this mont, fused into one.
Humanity... will endure!
...
In a trance, Tang Yu saw a silvery column of light shooting into the sky.
He was not alone at this mont!
He stood with millions of survivors from Green Shadow!
He was... the lord of Green Shadow!
Buzz—
The Telekinesis Pool burned furiously, the World Tree swayed gently.
Never had there been such a mont, where converging Telekinesis, the power of the world, and Source Qi, were so under control.
Tang Yu raised his hand, fingers spread wide, slowly drawing them together.
As if he was grasping the whole world.
