Earth.
Floating land, Tree Shade City.
Since a few months ago, when the Lord beheaded the alien Transcendent, the Tree Shade's defensive circle had been calm and peaceful.
Needless to say, the floating Tree Shade City, Lindong and other cities that surrounded the Tree Shade had now enjoyed a long-lost peace.
The raging demonic wave was stopped at the outpost. Instead, it became the best hunting ground for hunters.
Now.
With the influx of a large number of hunters.
Within the defense circle alone, there were more than three million registered adventurers.
A group of hungry adventurers rushed to the front line to hunt demonic beasts. The defense circle had new outposts built almost every day, constantly expanding outward.
Even so, there were still tens of thousands of adventurers assigned to each outpost.
These people took the outpost as a starting point and marched to the surrounding area.
Jungles covered with tens of meters tall trees, moss-covered city ruins, desert-like dangerous places … were the adventurers' hunting grounds.
It was different from the past when hunters went deep into the wilderness to search for supplies and struggled to kill demonic beasts.
Today's Adventurer's Guild had a more complete mechanism.
At each outpost, there was a guild branch. Not only could they receive and hand over missions, but it was also a place for adventurers to exchange information.
Which area had powerful demonic beasts, where the danger level was higher, how the demonic beasts were distributed, and so on.
The information submitted by countless adventurers was summarized at the guild branch. A detailed monster distribution map appeared on the paper and was updated from time to time.
The adventurers carried out the strategy according to the detailed information. In some areas with low danger level, the demonic beasts were quickly beheaded and turned into protected animals.
The danger level of the area dropped again and again.
Sometimes the guild would issue some large-scale missions to organize adventurers to clear certain high-risk areas.
With equipment, level, information, and orderly dispatch, even the strength of the demonic beasts was slowly improving over time. For example, the first and second level demonic beasts were now rare. The third and fourth level demonic beasts were the mainstream, and the sixth and seventh level demonic beasts were not uncommon.
The high-risk area was much more dangerous than when Lindong Shelter cleaned up Maple Leaf Town.
There were many demonic beasts that had awakened to a higher level.
The disaster-level demonic beasts also began to form teams.
But the casualty rate was much lower.
Unlike Lindong, almost all the people were mobilized. The Adventurer's Guild only mobilized two or three nearby outposts.
Starting from the periphery, constantly clearing the demonic beasts in the high-risk areas.
The density of the demonic beast dropped again and again. When the time was almost ripe, the Survey Corps went straight to the root of the problem. In the face of the disaster-level demonic beast, there was no need for the followers to take action. Whether it was the proficient combined combat skills or some war equipment equipped by the corps, they all had the ability to kill the disaster-level demonic beast.
The whole process could be as short as two to three days, or as long as four to five days.
Until the hunters of the Survey Corps suppressed the crack of the abyss and replaced it with the garrison corps, on the map, the area that was shown as dark red turned to light yellow.
Once the outpost advanced and passed through the area, the light yellow color would turn into light green, which represented the safe area.
Ordinary people could also move around in the light green area as long as they had some self-defense weapons.
For several months,
The Tree Shade's defensive circle continued to expand, recovering many lost cities.
Like Lin City, Shuo City, and so on.
Unfortunately, it had been almost a year since the outbreak of the doomsday. These cities had been looted many times, and there were not many valuable materials. At best, there were some high-precision equipment that could be used as reference. After all, the current was unstable. Today's research equipment was almost changed to spirit stones for energy supply.
On the contrary, some transit stations had a lot of traffic and developed prosperous businesses. The transit station continued to expand and gradually evolved into a sizable town.
The former Creek Outpost was now the hinterland of the defensive circle.
First, it was renamed as a transit station. Later, because the Green Horizontal Railway passed through Creek Tree and had a stop, the Creek Tree transit station became more prosperous.
Now it had become a small town with a permanent population of 20,000 to 30,000.
Most of them were professional businessmen who bought materials from the frontline adventurers at low prices, processed them into finished products, and then sold them.
An industrial chain was enough to support countless people.
Today, in the defensive circle, there were also some good-sized companies. He Qingqing's clothing company was one of the leaders.
Naturally, the production was civilian products.
Rune equipment, props, potions, and other combat supplies were still the official pillar industry of the Tree Shade. It was also one of the reasons why the Tree Shade defense circle became the most popular holy land on Earth.
Another point, naturally, was strength.
The Tree Shade had a record of killing dozens of invading alien Transcendents. Did other holy lands have the same record? Did they?
"Have you heard? Gullit of the Saier Dynasty recently broke through to Transcendent Rank-2! He's probably the first human on Earth to break through to Transcendent Rank-2! "
"Transcendent Rank-2? Emmmmm sounds powerful, but I just don't understand. "
"Let's put it this way. Although Transcendent is above mortals, there are also strong and weak ones. A strong Transcendent can fight five … and the Transcendents we usually call are all Transcendent Rank-1.
Just like our Awakening Order, every breakthrough is an improvement. But the Transcendent's gap is even bigger. From Rank-1 to Rank-2, the difficulty is no less than breaking through from Peak Awakening Order to Transcendent. "
Hearing that, the group of noobs nodded in understanding. Their eyes were full of admiration.
The hunter who spoke first waved his hand in satisfaction and continued, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
"That's not the point. I heard that after Master Gullit broke through to Transcendent Rank-2, he killed ten alien Transcendents in a row. He even destroyed the base of an alien race by himself. It's a rare victory for us humans in the past two months."
"You guys don't know, but the news has spread like wildfire in the Holy City. We've secretly ranked the ten Holy Lands. The Sacred Mountain of Saier has quickly risen to second place, and it's expected to surpass the current first place, Tree Shade."
"There's even more shocking news. I heard that Gu Ling, Warren, and some other Transcendents who are stuck at the peak of Transcendent Rank-1 are preparing to go to the Sacred Mountain of Saier to learn the scriptures. I also heard that the house prices in the small town at the foot of the mountain have skyrocketed recently."
The gap between Transcendent Rank-1 and Rank-2 was like a chasm.
Ordinary Awakening Order hunters didn't quite understand, but the strong ones and even the Transcendents knew very well what Gullit's breakthrough meant.
His combat power soared, and his Rank-2 life-saving ability was even more extraordinary. Even if he encountered an enemy that could crush him, a Rank-2 Transcendent would have the means to escape.
He's the strongest person on Earth!
With Gullit's breakthrough, the Saier Dynasty's influence suddenly expanded a lot with his glorious record of killing Transcendents.
Taking this opportunity, they gathered a group of hunters with potential, and some Fourth Era's Transcendent wandering Transcendents. In order to reach a higher level, they joined the Saier Dynasty.
However, ordinary hunters couldn't reach such a high level. Gullit's breakthrough, for them, was just an after-dinner talk.
Including the hunters who threw out the news, they also heard it from the Holy City as their bragging rights.
To enjoy the other hunters' admiring eyes.
At this time.
A new hunter asked, "Gullit's record of breaking through to Rank-2 was killing ten Transcendents. But didn't our City Lord kill twenty or thirty Transcendents a few months ago? Isn't the City Lord's realm higher? How could Gullit be the strongest Rank-2 Transcendent? "
These words made a lot of sense.
The senior hunters couldn't refute.
… …
Tang Yu knew.
The news … was true.
Gullit was indeed the first person to break through to Rank-2 Transcendent.
"I heard he broke through with five cores."
Breaking through with three cores belonged to ordinary Rank-2.
Breaking through with four cores was an elite Rank-2.
And with five cores, he was already one of the best.
Before the Holy City opened, Gullit was a senior Transcendent with two or three cores. Tang Yu wasn't surprised that he had a harvest in the Holy City and broke through to Rank-2.
"Just five cores …"
He rubbed his chin and felt that he was really weak.
Am I being arrogant?
Tang Yu asked himself, he didn't think so.
After all.
Inside his Qi Sea, seven resplendent Origin Qi cores had formed a ring above the lake where the vast amount of Origin Qi ebbed and flowed. They absorbed the gushing Genesis Qi, condensed the energy, and fed it back to the Origin Energy lake.
He felt his body was filled with indescribable power.
With a snap of his fingers, the condensed source power shockwave was enough to raze the buildings within hundreds of meters to the ground.
So strong that even he was afraid of it.
"Transcendent Rank-2 is nothing. It's not like I haven't fought before."
With a large amount of information from the Holy City, the Spiritual Space could also simulate Transcendent Rank-2 enemies.
As a seven-core powerhouse, he could confidently say, Transcendent Rank-2? I've lost count of the number of people I've defeated.
As for the fact that he could condense seven cores, it was because of the Pure Source Power Pool and the consumption of a huge amount of resources. Lord Tang selectively ignored it.
I used my own abilities to cheat, so why should I feel guilty?
"But the strongest point of Transcendent Rank-2 is that they can be reborn from a drop of blood. It's almost immortal. It's very suitable for exploring some dangerous places. Coupled with the Return Scroll, I don't have to worry about being ambushed in the future."
"Besides, Gullit is a Grade Two with five cores fused. The innate ability of the Sairean royalty is also very powerful. If I really fight him, there's a high chance that I won't be a match for him. Plus, I can't get arrogant … It's a pity that I don't have Gullit's data. Otherwise, I could try it in the Mental Space."
Tang Yu touched his chin and suddenly had a bold idea.
Inviting Gullit to the Tree Shade as a guest? That's not realistic.
However.
He heard that there was a bustling town at the foot of the Saier Mountain. It was an important place for them to communicate with the outside world. Sometimes, the Saier Royal Family's Transcendents also appeared in the town.
Tang Yu wondered if he could set up a sub-territory there and build a training camp. Maybe one day, Gullit would enter the Spiritual Space and give him a holographic scan. The data was as detailed as it could be.
"I have to take it slow. I can't waste my telekinesis points."
A sub-territory was worth millions of telekinesis points.
Just opening up two sub-territories in the Royal Capital and the extension of the territory cost more than 2 million. Telekinesis points were more precious than spirit stones.
Tang Yu opened the system panel.
His telekinesis points were 513.
Not much.
Relying on the contract, he directly sent a group message to his followers who were currently in the Tree Shade.
Asking them about their cultivation progress.
Nancy 8 cores.
Elaine 7 cores.
Sky 7 cores.
Roger 6 cores.
Gretel 6 cores.
Winnie 6 cores.
… …
The first three cores purely absorbed energy. The success rate of condensing could be called 100%. It's just that ordinary Transcendents couldn't condense a core in a hundred years without a chance.
From the fourth core onward, there was a failure rate.
It varied from person to person.
For example, the probability of condensing the fourth core was 80%, the fifth 50%, the sixth 30% …
Once the condensation failed, it would take decades, hundreds of years to absorb the source energy would dissipate. It was equivalent to those decades of cultivation would be in vain.
It might even affect the previously condensed source energy core, causing core damage.
Tang Yu felt this was similar to the strengthening rules of some unscrupulous games before … + 4, + 5, + 6. However, if one failed, it would fall back to + 3.
He felt Gullit had the ability to condense the sixth core. However, he didn't dare to gamble. Once he failed, not only would he waste a lot of time, but he might fall back to the realm of four or even three cores.
Even in the second era when the Origin Star was at its peak, those who could condense seven cores were amazing talents.
His future was limitless.
"If it weren't for the fact that normal cultivation is too time-consuming, I would also be an amazing talent."
Tang Yu shook his head and sighed.
Unfortunately.
He chose to cheat.
The energy that needed to be absorbed for cultivation wouldn't take much time with the 'Pure Source Power Pool'.
Strengthening … Ahem, the success rate of condensing source energy core was too low. Consuming telekinesis value could improve the success rate of breakthrough.
It's just that every time he condensed a source energy core, he needed to stabilize it for a period of time. Otherwise, the success rate would be too low. Even with the protagonist's aura, it would be useless.
"It's been half a month since Nancy condensed eight cores. Calculating the time, it should be … about time."
"The capital is deep. Without enough high-end combat power, I can't be reckless, but I don't dare to be reckless. It's really … not fun!"
He walked out of the room, went next door, and knocked on Nancy's door.
