Tremors from a Transcendent battle erupted from the back mountain. Two seconds later, countless transcendent auras approached Green Shadow.

The sky changed color in response, and the air seemed to freeze in that moment.

The previously joyful and bustling Green Shadow suddenly fell silent, as if all the survivors had been choked; after a brief stupor, panic ensued.

The brilliant radiance from the Transcendents' clash, even from a distance of one or two kilometers, felt like a sharp knife pressed against their throats.

Few could keep their composure, even members of the Guardian Corps charged with maintaining order were pale-faced—an instinctive reaction from the immense pressure of a higher order of life.

Yet they held on to the belief that Green Shadow had weathered many storms; how could a calamity strike during the splendid moment of the city's foundation ceremony!

Lacking the strength to confront the enemy, they could only fulfill their duties, maintaining order in Green Shadow, making sure chaos didn't erupt at this critical time!

Boom!

Boom, boom!

Amidst the explosions, led by Awakeners of the Guardian Corps, survivors swiftly rushed to the underground shelters. However, no sooner had they begun to move than they saw an Alien Race Transcendent, flying above Green Shadow City.

Terrifying energy gathered.

And struck down immediately.

Boom, boom, boom—

Some closed their eyes, not feeling the disaster descend. Cracking their eyes open just a slit, they saw a pale golden shield enveloping the sky above Green Shadow City, blocking the fearsome Energy Ball's assault.

Hu~

They were left with lingering fears. The Alien Race Transcendent sneered again, forming another terrifying Energy Ball with a lift of his hand.

Boom!

The pale gold shield rippled.

Boom, boom!

The pale gold shield flickered uncertainly.

Boom, boom, boom!

The pale gold shield shattered.

The horrifying energy smashed down again.

Eileen and the others were tightly entangled by the Alien Race Transcendent, and the Floating Airship was incapable of intervening—firing the main cannon would only intensify the blast.

The survivors, with ashen faces, could only wait in despair for the catastrophe to arrive.

Suddenly,

Buzz—

It felt like an invisible wave brushed across everyone's cheeks.

The plants let out joyful chirps, and the landscapes seemed to leap for joy.

A faint voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Disperse—"

...

In the castle's dining hall,

Ten minutes earlier,

The higher-ups of Green Shadow had quietly left, leaving only Chen Haiping, Shay, and others who had yet to breach the Transcendent realm.

Not many cared, as their focus was simply on finishing the meal.

This time, the Purcell Royal Family delegation was led by a novice Transcendent, as well as a few elite scions of the Royal Family.

A Transcendent led the way because the journey was far, and a Transcendent escort was needed.

This task ultimately fell upon the novice Transcendent.

Initially, he was rather frustrated.

Participating in Green Shadow's ceremony would take at least several days of travel, and just as he had broken through to become a Transcendent, it was the best time to stabilize his realm and improve his strength... But considering his position, he was the most marginal and had no choice but to undertake this troublesome task.

But at this moment, as Transcendent Mutant Beast meat filled his stomach, rolling Source Power droplets fell like rain, landing on the lake of Source Power. The novice Transcendent, in his rapid growth phase after his breakthrough, was ecstatic.

His strength was improving more noticeably than anyone's.

He devoured large chunks of Transcendent Mutant Beast meat, barely chewing before swallowing.

"Delicious!"

Beside him, an elite from the Purcell Royal Family stuffed their mouth full.

"Green Shadow's culinary skill is really damn impressive."

"Perhaps we can let our clan pay a price to learn Green Shadow's culinary arts."

"However..." The Purcell novice Transcendent spoke while eating, "After all, culinary arts are just that—culinary arts. No doubt, with the techniques and ingredients, Green Shadow can more easily cultivate masters, but that hardly counts as true heritage."

"I see that the walls of Green Shadow are very majestic, but they can only withstand the Demon Tide. If a Transcendent were to attack, Green Shadow lacks the heritage to withstand it... For example, our Purcell Royal Family, if faced with an irresistible disaster, can sever the arm to save the body, as Divine Mountain can retreat into the Void to escape. But Green Shadow..."

He shook his head. Could Green Shadow City possibly take flight?

During their discussion,

A Transcendent aura erupted in the distance; it was faint to their senses.

In less than ten seconds, the Transcendent aura drew closer, and the transcendent guests in the dining hall grew more serious.

"More than twenty Alien Race Transcendents..."

They exited the dining hall to witness splendid battles in the distance.

Beiting, the Mage Alliance, and other closely allied forces had Transcendents preparing to set off to help.

The Purcell novice Transcendent shrank back, "Look, even with an Array set up, the whole Green Shadow City is still vulnerable, unable to withstand major turmoil. That's what it means to lack heritage..."

As he spoke, a terrible Energy Ball came crashing down.

Once, twice, three times...

Transcendents from Beiting immediately rose into the sky, their power converging.

The massive Energy Ball, like a meteor falling from the sky, neared the Transcendents of Beiting, who had the power to break it, but not to stop the aftermath of the terrifying energy.

To those below, the survivors and low-level Awakeners, it was still deadly!

How many casualties it would have caused!

Just at that moment,

"Disperse—"

A faint voice echoed between heaven and earth, not loud, but surprisingly clear to everyone.

The Beiting Transcendent, about to make their move, suddenly widened their eyes.

Before them,

the enormous Energy Ball crashing down... shrunk!

Countless Source Qi was peeled away, like air escaping from a balloon. In just a brief instant, the colossal Energy Ball, originally over ten meters in diameter, had shrunk to the size of a fist, its contained power diminished to almost nothing.

The next moment,

it vanished completely with a pop.

Wide-mouthed with a fixed vicious grin, the Blood Mouth Clan Transcendent was stunned.

Where's my... ball?

After snapping back to reality, the Blood Mouth Transcendent charged towards the ground.

The Beiting Transcendent reacted as well, hastily following...

That faint voice rose once more:

"Suppress—"

The echo was profound.

The descending Blood Mouth Clan Transcendent suddenly stiffened, terror on their face as they found themselves completely immobile, their internal Source Power utterly locked.

Their body was repelled backward, flying out even faster, landing outside the city in an open area, head towards the ground...

Bam!!!

They were planted headfirst into the earth, unable to struggle free.

"Suppress—"

"Suppress—"

"Suppress—"

One after another, the battling Alien Race Transcendents were instantly immobilized. Seeing this, Nancy, Eileen, and the others decisively burned their Source Power...

Boom!!!

One by one, mutilated bodies fell from the sky, with a dozen or so figures chasing after them, bursts of brilliant light exploding in succession.

Some Alien Race Transcendents followed suit, plummeting to the ground, planting themselves around the first Transcendent.

Neat and orderly.

...

Castle, bedroom.

Tang Yu opened his eyes, bright enough to pierce the Void.

He could clearly see the shapes of the Transcendents fighting at the front.

"Ding! Territory upgraded to level seven, Telekinesis System unlocked, please explore the specific methods of use yourself, my Lord."

"Ding! Territory Fitting Degree increased to 100%, all permissions unlocked."

"Ding! Sovereign mode unlocked."

"Ding! Authority grant function opened."

"Ding!..."

A flurry of system notifications rang out ceaselessly in his mind.

Inside him, a formerly solid bottleneck shattered in that instant.

Amidst the thunderous noise, the castle complex expanded once more. The two captured Senior Transcendent members of the Blood Mouth Clan were alert and on guard, but nothing happened.

Tang Yu paid no attention to these things.

The upgrade was complete, yet he lingered in that mystifying sensation, clearer and more agile than before.

He could control every inch of the Territory's land and call upon every wisp of Source Power.

It felt like the entire Territory was his hand, his foot.

He could do whatever he wanted!

He was all-powerful!

"Disperse."

Instinctively, Tang Yu uttered a single word and the world promptly responded.

With a mere thought, a tremendous force enveloped the Alien Race Transcendents, like a giant hand, directly thrusting them into the ground.

The Senior Transcendents, usually so formidable, were now like ants beneath his heel.

Initially, he had planned to use the new defense buildings and trump cards granted by the Territory's upgrade against the Alien Race, but now, a direct confrontation would suffice!

He reveled in the joy of it.

Nearly ten Alien Race Transcendents were neatly rooted to the ground, deep in the earth.

The rest of the Alien Race Transcendents also fell one after another.

However, had he been paying attention to the panel, he would have seen that the Telekinesis energy balance was plummeting at a rate of ten thousand points per second, and whenever he concentrated to utter "Disperse," "Suppress," and so on, the consumption of Telekinesis energy multiplied by tens of times.

The three to four hundred thousand Telekinesis energy points he had accumulated over more than a month were showing signs of bottoming out in just a few seconds.

At that moment,

Transcendents from Beiting and other major powers stood dazed in midair.

Eileen, Nancy, Kong, and other Green Shadow high-ups, bloodied, some theirs, some from enemies.

They stood on the city walls, looking into the distance as sunlight added a touch of color to their silhouettes.

The panicked survivors gradually quieted down, gazing upon the figures on the city walls. Not knowing who started it, a resounding cheer erupted.

"Green Shadow, invincible!"

"Humans, invincible!!"
