Chapter 335 -332: The Great Sacrificial Officer Yan Testing the Waters on the Edge of Doom
“Transcendent, what do you feel?”
“Feel… what’s that?”
Back at Cultivation Spot Number One, Tang Yu couldn’t wait to ask Nancy about the powers of the Transcendents.
However…
He overestimated Nancy’s understanding.
After much trouble, Tang Yu and Eileen finally got a relatively accurate answer from Nancy.
Reaching the Transcendent Tier did indeed enable flight. But to say so wasn’t quite accurate; upon breaking through to become a Transcendent, an odd force field constantly enveloped the person, a field that could negate Earth’s gravity and produce a propelling force, enabling one to fly or hover as if stepping on air.
Tang Yu’s thoughts wandered elsewhere immediately.
‘If Awakening Tier already has the ability to fly—like those with Wind Series powers or wings—wouldn’t it be a loss to break through to the Transcendent Tier?’
But on second thought, he realized that wasn’t right.
The special force field of the Transcendents and the ability to fly came from different power sources, and it wasn’t said that the two couldn’t be combined… With this in mind, the ability to fly still held many advantages. If one considered a regular Transcendent as single-core, then a Transcendent Tier with the ability to fly would be dual-core, with powerful drive.
This special force field not only provided the ability to fly but also counteracted most attacks, meaning Transcendents could survive in all manner of harsh environments. Techniques like blanket bombardment and encirclement would be useless unless one could break through the odd field surrounding the Transcendent—they couldn’t even get a speck of dust on them.
Tang Yu could only marvel; indeed, they were non-human.
…
…
Lindong, high-rise residential area.
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan had been cultivating these days, securing his foothold in the Transcendent Realm.
The elderly high-ups, including members of the Rhino Mercenary Corps, gathered all information on Green Shadow from various sources and delivered it to Great Sacrificial Officer Yan.
He paid particular attention to Green Shadow’s battle with the Catastrophe-Level Demonized Beasts.
“No, that Tang Yu from Green Shadow is definitely not a Transcendent.”
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan pondered, “If he were Transcendent, he wouldn’t need to rely on Heavenly Punishment Weapons to kill those three Catastrophe-Level Demonized Beasts…”
Initially, Sacrificial Officer Yan thought Tang Yu from Green Shadow was just too lazy to take action, but he learned from the detailed reports that the defense battle was dire, with a section of the city wall destroyed and hundreds of Awakeners killed in the defense.
As the Sanctuary Director, a position similar to that of a city lord, Great Sacrificial Officer Yan believed that even if ‘Tang Yu’ were cold-blooded, he wouldn’t stand idly by if he had Transcendent strength and his city was being destroyed.
So,
the only truth was one: Tang Yu was not a Transcendent, merely a run-of-the-mill ability user with flying capability.
“He’s clearly not one of those old fogies who woke from the Fourth Epoch, just a twenty-something youth. Though his strength should be decent, it’s worlds apart from that of a Transcendent.”
“However, being able to establish a Sanctuary on top of ruins, he must have talent, even if it came from luck. If he knows the score and works for me, I might as well give him some perks…”
“I’ve been too cautious, forgetting that I’m already a Transcendent; it doesn’t matter if Green Shadow has no Transcendent Strongmen or even if they do—The power of Heavenly Punishment is decent but even Catastrophe-Level Demonized Beasts may dodge it, so it poses less than a half-threat to me…”
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan felt it was time to adjust his mindset and adopt the bearing of a true strongman.
He called for Rhino, “The task of demanding rune technology from Green Shadow, I’ll leave it to you. Do it well, don’t disappoint me.”
…
On the other side,
since Nancy’s breakthrough to Transcendent, Tang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Eight-Armed Black Demon did not reappear, and that golden giant eagle had also vanished without a trace, everything settling back into calm.
The only minor difference in the past few days was that Fani and Greta, along with their teams, successively discovered Secret Realms.
The Secret Realm Fani found was deep in the mountains.
Greta and his group of five went to the Yangtze River Delta region, where they had established a sizable force. They sent out people to search and discovered two Secret Realms, and even the outgoing Investigation Corps stumbled upon a Secret Realm.
It seemed that since that shift in the skies, Secret Realms had multiplied out in the wilderness.
Most of these discovered Secret Realms were already abandoned and not dangerous, but they also barely contained anything valuable. Only in one Secret Realm did they find an old undying from the Fourth Epoch, recently awakened, just like Zuofo initially was.
But this time, just after spewing a couple of boasts upon awakening, the old undying was promptly exterminated by Greta and the others.
He was probably the most aggrieved one to die…
During this period, Tang Yu, aside from venturing into the Secret Realm, spent all his other time in cultivation, and two days ago, as things fell into place, he finally broke through to the Awakening Tenth Layer, successfully stepping into the ranks of frontline experts in the Territory.
As for the only person in the Territory currently beyond the frontline experts, Nancy…
Hmm.
Tang Yu glanced over, seeing Nancy dressed in a white striped top and blue overalls, sitting on a chair. Despite her usual expressionless face, her eyes were filled with concentration, unblinkingly staring at the chopsticks on the table, with one hand already reaching out into the air.
Seeming to hesitate, Nancy finally made up her mind and stretched out her fair hand to grasp the chopsticks, lifting them up.
Snap—
The chopsticks, made of high-quality wood, broke at the moment she picked them up and immediately fell to the ground.
Nancy turned her head to look at him, then looked down at the pieces of wooden chopsticks scattered on the floor, her face full of bewilderment.
“Eat… I want to eat…”
Her voice carried a hint of grievance. Before Tang Yu could take any action, Nancy had already bent down, burying her head in the bowl of beef offal noodles on the table, slurping eagerly. In just a few seconds, she had gulped down the entire bowl and looked up, becoming the very spitting image of a little flower cat.
“Tasty, um… I want more.”
Eileen hurriedly took a towel and wiped Nancy’s face.
Tang Yu held his forehead.
It felt more taxing than taking care of a child… even though he had never had one.
At this moment,
Nancy suddenly twisted her head to look outside the window, “Someone’s coming, enemies.”
Tang Yu was startled, and immediately opened the Territory map.
Sure enough, several red dots had appeared inside the villa area, surrounded by a few green dots, and some hundreds of meters away from these dots, there was a red dot that looked like a big light bulb.
Very conspicuous.
…
Rhino Boss had been in high spirits recently, having latched onto the Great Sacrificial Officer Yan, a hugely influential figure in Lindong, and with high-level connections, the Mercenary Corps expanded swiftly from a dozen people to over a hundred.
His strength, with the ample supply of resources, had also risen rapidly, reaching the Fifth Tier Peak of the Awakening Stage. As long as he crossed this bottleneck, he would become a Boss Level figure. In the future, he could leave one top-tier Mercenary Corps after another far behind.
“The boss entrusting us with this task is a show of faith; we must execute it perfectly.”
The confidants following the Rhino Commander unanimously agreed, “Boss, look at this place, Green Shadow. It’s very well-built. Instead of just acquiring the rune Equipment crafting technology, why not take over the entirety of Green Shadow? Then we’ll also have the manpower needed for equipment production.”
Rhino Boss’s eyes lit up, and he approvingly patted his subordinate on the shoulder.
A group of them entered the Sanctuary and walked up to the front of the castle, where they were stopped by members of the Guardian Corps.
Seeing those Awakeners, whose presence was no weaker than his own, Rhino Boss began to feel anxious, but thinking of his powerful backer, with the Great Sacrificial Officer Yan also now in Green Shadow, he quickly regained his composure.
He raised his head and declared arrogantly, “What are you staring at? Get your Director to speak to me.”
The Guardian Team members ignored Rhino Boss’s delusional declaration, with a few of them stepping forward, preparing to subdue them.
Rhino Boss’s voice got louder as he pulled out his connections.
However, he soon realized that the members of the Guardian Corps didn’t have any idea what a Transcendent was—regardless of what he said, it all fell on deaf ears.
Rhino Commander fought back in a frenzy but was quickly taken down by an Awakener of the same tier.
Just as they were about to be tied up…
A terrifying aura swept through, instantly freezing all the members of the Guardian Corps in place.
Everyone looked up to the sky, where a figure, hands behind his back, stood in the Void above. freewёbnoνel.com
As if a deity was looking down upon the human world.
“Who dares to touch… touch my people?”
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan’s eyes widened as he stared ahead.
A small figure in armor emerged from the castle window and stood in midair, facing him from afar.
That unmistakable aura of the Transcendent Tier enveloped and locked onto him.
