Chapter 500

In an instant, the entire city lord manor seemed to come to life.

This feeling was very familiar.

Wasn’t it just the power of the domain?

This power was very weak, so weak that he felt that if he opened up his personal domain, he might have to burst the power of the city lord manor.

However, no matter how weak it was, it was still a domain. It was a sign that belonged to the third step of the Transcendent realm. Now, it seemed to have been solidified with some sort of method.

It was a little interesting.

It had piqued his interest.

Hutt had already stood up from his throne. His personal guard immediately handed over a knight spear. Even more elite warriors dressed in silver armor and wielding various types of weapons rushed out from all over the hall, surrounding them.

The Personal Guards were the most elite force of the City Lord, Hutt. There weren’t many members, only around thirty of them. Each of them possessed the strength of a peak ninth layer cultivator, and each of them possessed a set of rare runic equipment. Among them, there were a few who had already broken through to the Genesis Tier. They were one of the few great experts in the city!

The small n.o.bles were so envious that they panicked. Many of their family’s attendants, the strongest of them, were only at the peak of the ninth layer.

At this time,

An invisible force connected the thirty or so personal guards and City Lord Hutt, causing their auras to continuously rise.

Tang Yu was surprised once again.

“This is the Gehrmann City, or perhaps the unique foundation of this world. It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Perhaps this kind of suppression and amplification was still somewhat weak in Tang Yu’s eyes. There were many more high-end corps battle formations in the gains of the Sacred City. However, this was a different technique.

In different worlds, after countless years of development and acc.u.mulation, there was always something unique about them. Since the former Origin Star had fallen into the hands of the Devil Race, now there were only the heads of a hundred families, and they could not let go of any methods to improve their strength.

Because they needed to observe, Xie Yi cooperated very well and did not interrupt the improvement of Hutt and the others.

After more than ten seconds, the strongest City Lord Hutt, just his aura alone was infinitely close to transcendent, and the other personal guards also almost had the aura of a great circle.

Dozens of surging auras soared into the sky, and the air in the entire banquet hall distorted. The weaker small n.o.bles had already knelt on the ground, their eyes full of shock.

Several top n.o.bles in the banquet hall had almost retreated to a corner, worried that they would be affected.

“The foundation of the City Lord’s Mansion is indeed terrifying.”

“After all, it was the home court built during the time of the previous City Lord, and it has been nurtured for two to three hundred years. It would be strange if not for strong.”

“I think it will take at least fifty to sixty years of acc.u.mulation this time. If all the acc.u.mulation is exhausted, the authority will be wasted. Hehehe, the City Lord will take turns to do it. Come to my house next year.”

Hutt clenched his fists hard, feeling the endless power in his body, his confidence instantly surged out.

“To force me to use this state, you guys are pretty good”

Bang!

A solid sh.e.l.l hit Hutt’s face, the explosion was deafening, the huge ball of fire was like a rising red sun.

City Lord Hutt flew backwards, crashing into the walls of the banquet hall, flying for several hundred meters before crashing into the City Lord Manor’s barrier, a wall of light.

The several dozen personal guards who had their auras tied together trembled in unison, their faces flushed red as they spat out a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.

Xie Yi’s right hand was equipped with a gun that had changed into the shape of a hand cannon, and he sighed, “Headshot.”

“Ah -“

Hutt, whose cheeks were charred, roared loudly, seemingly teleporting back to the banquet hall, his aura rising once more.

The blood, Qi, and Origin Energy of the surrounding guards who were spitting out blood rushed towards Hurt, their faces visibly drying up, while the City Lord Hurt’s aura became more and more terrifying.

Xie Yi’s expression became a bit more serious.

“If it was ordinary Transcendent, it would really be possible to fail in this City Lord Manor,” Tang Yu a.n.a.lyzed.

“Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the power is, the one who decides everything is the one who uses power… Moreover, this power is not strong.”

Not far away,

City Lord Hutt was like a mad demon, locked in battle with Xie Yi. The artillery sh.e.l.ls and energy flows had already destroyed the entire banquet hall. In the ruined hall, the n.o.bles and followers had countless casualties.

The battle lasted for five or six seconds.

The violent aura around Hutt faded away like a tide. Xie Yi chuckled and put away his gun. “Bang Bang Bang” He raised his fist and used a combo to hit Hutt like a sandbag, causing him to float in the air.

When his fist landed on Hutt’s armor, the already broken armor suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces.

His palm grabbed onto the lance and in the next moment, the entire lance exploded into countless pieces that fell down.

Bang!

Hutt flew high into the air and landed heavily on the ground again.

His originally middle-aged appearance now had his messy hair turning white, his cheeks thin and withered, just like the guards around him who had not fallen. His aura was constantly weakening, from Transcendent, half-step Transcendent, thirteen levels, ten levels…

In the end, there was only a trace of aura left, like an old man at the end of his life.

The surrounding n.o.bles were all trembling like they were living beings.

Ferocious, too savage.

“Where did the adventurers come from? Are they from the kingdom in the center of the continent? Aren’t they too busy with their own affairs?”

Tang Yu sighed.

If he said it, no one would believe him.

At first, he just wanted to see the local customs here. He really did not intend to do anything. No matter how much he disliked the n.o.bles, he knew that the n.o.bles were indeed the guardian force of this city. Without the n.o.bles, this city would not be able to resist the next Demonic Tide.

We are just pa.s.sers-by.

But why are you so irritable?

But forget it… Ever since he decided to set up a sub-territory here, Tang Yu’s mentality had been upgraded from a pa.s.ser-by to a landlord. Looking at the surrounding n.o.bles, all of them were the owners of the land. The small inner city would be completely divided.

Thinking of this, well, it would be best if all of them died.

At this time, because of the commotion caused by the City Lord Residence, the army in the city had gathered. Tang Yu originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but in the end, the n.o.bles who were still alive, the higher-ups under the City Lord, immediately surrendered and drove the soldiers away. Then, he piled up a smile and walked forward.

Hehe.

…

“My lords, this is the original City Lord Hutt’s treasury. However, only Hutt and his two sons know how to open the doors to the treasury.”

A high official from the city led them to the core of the City Lord Residence.

It was said that the treasury had been sealed for hundreds of years.

“Where are Hutt’s two sons?”

“Uh.” The official paused for a moment, then carefully said, “Just now in the banquet hall, I was careless and died.”

Forget it,

It wasn’t important.

The treasure gate was made of high-hardness metal and had several rune arrays set up.

Normally speaking, it was difficult to quietly open the treasure gate without the use of a teleport channel. However, the treasure gate was originally guarded against thieves who sneaked in. Now that the owner of the city was dead, they could open it however they wanted.

Nancy raised her sword and said,

Boom!

The entire door was split in half by the purple-black energy. It did not explode, but a two-meter-wide gap was cut open.

Tang Yu stepped inside.

It was not a treasure house, but a huge secret room that was deep under the city lord’s mansion.

On the walls of the secret chamber, streams of light flashed past from time to time.

“This secret chamber seems to be the core of the domain created by the City Lord Residence.”

As far as the eye could see,

The most valuable items in the treasury were the sealed runic armor and weapons. It could be seen that Hurt valued Hutt equipment very much. A peak ninth level Awakened with excellent equipment could indeed defeat two or three people without equipment.

However, in his eyes, these runic equipment were too low-end.

The knight spear and armor used by Hutt himself weren’t high-end either. Otherwise, no matter how strong Xie Yi’s talent was, he wouldn’t have been able to destroy them with a single touch.

The amount of Origin Crystals in reserve was even fewer, and the medicinal ingredients were also almost missing.

It was expected.

Only some minerals were valuable to him.

“It’s crimson flame crystal iron, the main material for making the giant cannon. We don’t have many on our side.” Elaine picked up a red crystal iron that looked like it was burning hot.

There were at least two large boxes of red crystal iron on her hand.

Killing and robbing was indeed a quick way to get money… Ah, but this time.. i’ts just self-defense, not robbery

Tang Yu walked deeper into the secret chamber.

The energy flowing on the ground was almost tangible.

After Hutt died, the faint power of the domain also disappeared.

At this time, as he approached the core of the secret chamber, he sensed the domain power again. This time, there was no rejection or suppression.

A stone platform appeared in front of him.

On the stone platform, there was a branch that was the length of a forearm.

On the brown branch, a faint domain power spread out.

With Tang Yu’s current vision, he could tell at a glance that some of the layout of the city lord’s residence was centered around this branch.

Branch was the key.

Technology was secondary.

When he opened his eyes, countless data flowed past his eyes.

[One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi. This is a branch that contains extremely weak world power. It has endless magical uses. ]

“!”

Only the power that contained the will of the world could be called the power of the world.

It was countless levels higher than the power of the domain.

The territory that Tree Shade had spread out could now be called the power of the world. It was precisely because of this that he could a.n.a.lyze it.

But he did not expect to see it on a branch.

“The root of the mysterious tree is definitely a treasure!”

He broke through the barrier and when his finger touched the mysterious branch, he suddenly felt a faint invisible force on it.

However, most of it had been consumed, and the remaining thread was extremely weak.

…

Xie Yi did not enter the secret room, but stayed outside to guard.

He strolled around on patrol.

A few n.o.bles who had already surrendered… or rather, the surviving n.o.bles still had lingering fears.

“Hutt’s treasury is too cheap for those foreigners.”

“So what? I just hope that they don’t search my house.”

“We have already surrendered. It shouldn’t be so. On the contrary, Hutt is already dead. When those foreigners leave, wouldn’t the entire city… hehehe.”

The few remaining n.o.bles looked at each other and smiled.

From the looks of it, it didn’t seem to be bad.

If those foreigners only took Hutt’s treasury, this city, including the already dead n.o.bles’ a.s.sets, would all be theirs.

Wonderful!

Five minutes later, the foreigners walked out of the treasury and came before them.

“We will stay here from now on. From now on, the City Lord’s Mansion, including this city, will belong to the Lord. Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, you can raise them. After all, our Lord is very democratic.”

“?”

Democracy?

The few n.o.bles held back, feeling like they were stuck in their throats and did not dare to utter a word.

Soon,

The City Lord Residence’s demolition project began.

The banquet hall, which had already been reduced to ruins, was the center of the area.

Then, he had everyone leave.

Tang Yu opened up his domain and raised his hand. The Origin Crystals in the spatial necklace were consumed. Soon, a five-story fortress appeared before them.

The teleportation formation was immediately constructed.

As expected, Tree Shade’s teleportation had already been lit up.

His connection with the main territory also became clear.

It was the same as staying on Earth, remotely controlling the territory.

This was a steady move!

He let out a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly,

The broken stones on the ground trembled slightly.

The sound of alarm rang out.

“The Dark Tide is coming!”

…

Without the city lord, most of the n.o.bles had died. The commanders and generals in the city were still waiting near the city lord’s mansion.

For a moment, the soldiers were in a panic.

This time, the black tide was exceptionally terrifying. It was the same as the one a few months ago.

Until a few n.o.bles, escorted by their guards, climbed up the city wall. When they saw the black tide, their faces turned pale.

We’re finished…

All the power was built in the good condition of the city. They did not care if the outer city was gone, but the inner city was where their family was.

The morale of the soldiers defending the city was even lower. They mechanically waved the weapons in their hands, numbly supporting themselves.

“Please save us, new City Lord!”

Some n.o.bles thought,

Turning around, they saw Tang Yu and the others walk up the city wall.

The girl in the blue dress suddenly held an ice crystal staff in her hand and raised it.

The n.o.ble trembled.

Snow fell from the sky and the ground was covered in ice.

The scene in front of him suddenly became beautiful, but it contained deadly killing intent.

The icicles of all sizes pierced through the dark creatures, the ground and the sky. At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Only the figure holding the ice crystal staff became the center of the world.

Bang!

There was a light sound.

The countless dark creatures that had been penetrated and frozen turned into pieces in the wind.

The soldiers widened their eyes.

The generals and commanders gasped.

Several n.o.bles almost bit their tongues.

It’s over?

It was terrifying!
