The Duke's Mansion was in ruins.
The buildings had almost disappeared and were replaced by countless holes of different sizes. Only the shadows of some buildings could be seen at the end of the horizon.
— — those were the buildings of other noble mansions outside of the black screen.
Even though it was several times larger than the Marquis's mansion, the damage was far greater.
The entire Duke's Mansion had reached the point where it could be replaced.
It was always a one-sided battle in the past, but this time, the battle lasted for dozens of minutes.
Duke Morton's aura was weak, his face was dejected, his body was tied up like a dumpling with special ropes, and most of his power was sealed by a sealing spell. He even wanted to die.
This was not logical!
They clearly had the upper hand in the beginning! If it wasn't for the sudden disappearance of the World Tree array, they would have had a good chance of winning!
Duke Morton still couldn't understand how such a huge domain suddenly disappeared.
At the last moment, the domain seemed to have become extremely unstable.
Could it be that the maintenance personnel of the formation didn't put their heart into their work and caused the problem?
It was confirmed!
Duke Morton really wanted to capture those people and sacrifice them to the heavens.
But on second thought, those formation masters might have already died in the aftermath of the previous battle.
Including the guards in the mansion, even if they hid in the underground facilities, there were many cases where the hundreds of meters underground were broken through.
Those were all reinforced by runes!
Duke Morton dared to fight in the mansion because of the foundation they had accumulated for thousands of years. They were the strongest here. On the other hand, all the buildings in the mansion were made of high quality materials and reinforced by runes. In addition, there were formations set up everywhere that could absorb the escaping energy … Unless a Transcendent deliberately destroyed them, there wouldn't be any major damage.
But now …
The energy-absorbing array formation exploded from the overload.
The buildings reinforced by runes had also completely collapsed under the devastation of the shockwaves.
Other than the treasures that were robbed from the treasury, the other losses were also incalculable.
At this time …
Duke Morton heard a light sound coming from not far away.
His gaze swept across the area. Many Transcendent with weak auras and serious injuries were like him, sealed by physical and magical means, completely immobilized.
He shuddered.
Feeling the hostility of those Transcendent gazes.
The Duke's Mansion wasn't the only one that had been looted. There were also many treasures that had been left here by other nobles as bait.
In the battle just now, there was no lack of Transcendents dying!
The reason why he, Duke Morton, could gather dozens of Transcendents was that although the Black Robe Organization was powerful, they had not killed anyone yet.
The other nobles in the faction felt that since they couldn't die, they still had to give face to the duke.
Who would have thought that the "Black Robe Organization" would be so cruel today? Who knew how many Transcendents had been killed … Every Transcendent was the pillar of the big aristocrats. Some aristocrats who had lost too many Transcendents and were greatly weakened felt like killing Duke Morton!
But damn it all!
If they knew that it was because the enemies from the Duke's Mansion were too strong, and they couldn't hold back, and were too lazy to hold back, which was why they killed a few Transcendents, who knew what they would think.
…
At this time, Tang Yu and the others, who had emptied the Duke's Mansion, had returned to the suburban base.
The branches of the World Tree of different sizes and thicknesses were lined up in a row, and the faint power of the world dissipated. The entire space in the secret chamber began to distort, as if it had already been separated from the real world.
"The World Tree is indeed a supreme treasure. Even a branch is not weaker than an Extraordinary Divine Weapon."
Tang Yu held the World Tree Scepter in his hand.
It was made from a branch of the World Tree that was relatively close to the trunk. Its rank was comparable to a Tier 2 Extraordinary Divine Weapon.
But it could only be used with the World Tree Array.
For the rest of the time, it could only be used as a decoration.
"This is too bad. This level is not good."
In addition to the contained World Power, this branch itself was a material that could be used to make a Tier 2 or 3 Extraordinary Divine Weapon. But now it was used as a domain controller.
Tang Yu immediately returned to the Tree Shade and went to the Research Institute. He put the scepter in for analysis and got an optimized blueprint. Then he swooshed to the workshop and added some auxiliary materials for optimization.
Soon.
A new World Tree Scepter that was comparable to a Tier 3 Divine Weapon was born.
With a thought, a faint world force seeped out from the scepter. It was reduced to the power of a domain, and under his control, it swept through the surroundings.
The source power in his body revolved.
Boom!
A huge fireball emerged from the top of the scepter and swooshed towards the distance.
Boom!
It hit a load-bearing pillar, leaving a charred mark.
Tang Yu shuddered at the thought of his past actions of accidentally causing large-scale damage to the castle.
Fortunately, this time it was just a test of his skills. He also used a long-range attack that he wasn't good at. Its power was equivalent to a new Transcendent's full power attack.
Wait!
He swooshed towards the load-bearing pillar and reached out to grab it. The surrounding air surged, forming a wind pressure that washed away the charred marks on the pillar.
"… It doesn't seem to be damaged much."
"A castle in a rank 7 territory is already so resilient?"
He reached out and poked it.
Poked it harder.
Poked it harder.
Accidentally poked it with a combat technique.
Crack.
His fingers sank into the gray-white load-bearing pillar, and a spider web-like crack spread outwards.
Tang Yu froze.
"Did I … did I destroy it again?"
"Repairing the load-bearing pillar seems to cost spirit stones?"
"Last time I accidentally destroyed the garden, so I was scolded by Elaine. This time … uh, I didn't make any noise. It's not a big problem. I won't be discovered …"
Crack.
Crack.
Crack.
The cracks on the load-bearing pillar grew more and more. The originally pure and white pillar had been tattooed with dense tattoos. With a loud bang, the load-bearing pillar completely collapsed.
Tang Yu: "… …"
… …
King's City, Outer City.
The sky was gray, and the rain was getting heavier.
The road was washed muddy by the rain and washed away some of the strange smell in the outer city.
Tang Yu wore a black robe and hood and followed the Great Sage to a place in the outer city.
He was surrounded by abandoned buildings covered with ivy.
They walked into one of the buildings and came to the corner of a cracked wall.
"This unstable space node was accidentally discovered more than a decade ago. It can lead to the real space where the King's City is located." The Great Sage said, "It's just that the space node appears and disappears from time to time. I can't tell exactly when it will appear. But I've observed it before. There are several space distortions in a day. As long as we concentrate and observe, when the space node appears, we can pass through …"
He didn't finish his words.
He saw a black-robed man behind him step forward and slash the black scythe in his hand.
Buzz-
The space in front of him distorted, and layers of water-like ripples spread out.
The Great Sage was dumbfounded.
What, what's going on? The space node was cut out?
Tang Yu continued to attach himself to the Nightmare puppet. Relying on the puppet's extremely high spatial affinity, not only could he clearly perceive the space node in front of him, but he could also perceive the space on the opposite side. Even if there was no space node, the Nightmare puppet could reach the opposite space with its space travel ability.
The black-robed Nightmare puppet passed through first and quickly returned.
"No problem, we can return to the city instantly from there. Let's go."
… …
Buzz-
The space distorted, and a black-robed figure walked out.
"This …" Fanny looked up at the sky, her ears perked up in shock.
The old King's City was in ruins as far as the eye could see.
There were ruins everywhere, vegetation withered, and the earth cracked into a huge ravine. It was dead silent.
The sky was like the wilderness of the outside world. It was gloomy and oppressive. Under the gray clouds, there was a red mist that pervaded the air, making one feel very uncomfortable.
Under the red mist, in the center of the King's City, a dark brown pillar pierced the sky.
Looking closely, it looked like a withered giant tree.
Even most of the branches had fallen.
It was probably the World Tree!
But it looked a bit miserable. Was there any hope?
