Chapter 670 - My Doomsday Territory

My Apocalyptic Territory Chapter 670: Chaos As the intense preliminary rounds concluded, the top thirty-two contestants advanced to the finals. Let's... The host's passionate voice echoed throughout the venue. Unmanned cameras captured aerial shots from multiple angles. A camera flew past Zhushu Li, where she sat straight, a perfect smile on her lips, casting an encouraging gaze at the two individuals about to engage in a "magic duel" on stage. The camera shifted its angle. Zhushu Li's eyelids drooped, her smile seemed somewhat forced, and her ears, hidden under her hair, sagged. She looked as if she were unwell... On stage stood a man and a woman. Five fireballs hovered behind the young man's forehead, and every two seconds, a new one formed. He controlled them skillfully, sending them soaring and exploding in mid-air, transforming into roaring fire dragons that twisted unpredictably. Opposite him, The female contestant launched several swift wind blades, each precisely hitting a fire dragon, sending sparks scattering, deforming the dragons. Then, she seized the opportunity to conjure a series of gales, forming a tornado that engulfed all the fire dragons, reversing the blazing tornado back at its creator. The young man's expression shifted slightly. Faced with the formidable flaming tornado, most of his fire magic lost its effectiveness at that moment. Gritting his teeth, he sent all six fireballs flying from behind his forehead, detonating them as they neared the tornado. Boom! A fierce shockwave swept out, diminishing the tornado's might to less than a tenth. The young man then sent out several bursts of source energy to completely dissipate it. Meanwhile, Scores on the judge's panel began to change. In the opening phase of the magic duel, each contestant started with 100 points, which dwindled as the duel proceeded, with the first to reach zero losing. In the first exchange between the young man and woman, neither was harmed. However, "Beep! Beep! Beep ——" The female contestant's score stopped falling at 91 points, while the young man's continued to slide, eventually halting at 79 points. "You can see from their first exchange that contestant Xiaoxiao utilized Zhiwu's fire to create a flaming tornado, not only countering her opponent’s killer move but also elevating the power of her magic, demonstrating exquisite control and exceptional combat thinking..." This unconventional magic duel was more entertaining than regular battles. Its vivid fire dragons and the apocalyptic flaming tornado were clearly visible without needing slow-motion replay. Unlike high-level awakeners' typical battles, where audiences often watched in confusion, unsure of what was happening, here... even without commentary, viewers might struggle to determine the victor, but the special effects made it worthwhile. Today's ticket was worth every cent! ... The Mountain Seas World, an area adjacent to the Endless Sea. Riiiiip— A dark red arc flashed repeatedly, space contracted, and a few figures emerged. Among them, three were hefty and hairy, their heads resembling a gray wolf, a white bear, and an orange tiger, exuding an aura that warned others to stay away. Yet, they showed deep respect toward the crowned figure resembling a human following them. If Tang Yu were here, he would recognize the crowned figure as the Heart Demon Tribe that had seized Aino's king, and the wolf, bear, and tiger figures as the chieftains of the three clans once defeated by Nancy. "So this is your homeland? Quite an intriguing plane," the Heart Demon Tribe member commented. "It would be a great honor to offer it to the Great Lord," the Tiger Tribe chieftain said sycophantically. The Heart Demon Tribe powerhouse wasn't optimistic, "I need to pioneer, but you three alone aren't enough..." How could pioneering compare to end-stage harvesting? In the Aino Continent, he was responsible for harvesting, not only acquiring the entire kingdom’s treasury but also receiving unimaginable rewards upon completing the task of devouring the Aino World and the World Tree. This could allow him to directly cultivate to the peak domain level within his tribe and perhaps even break through to the Saint rank. Yet now, all was lost! Since those humans and that enormous World Tree vanished before his eyes, his mission failed, leaving him with no reward. Had he not been born into one of the Eight Clans, the Heart Demon Tribe, he might have been executed. Even now, he faced the arduous task of pioneering the Mountain Seas World, without any reinforcement! The Great Lord was already in a full-scale war with the High-Dimensional Allied Resistance Line, and the Mountain Seas World was merely a corner. If he failed to achieve anything, he might grow old here... The Heart Demon Tribe power felt increasingly resentful towards those black-robed humans. "Hope I never encounter them!" He then considered how human geniuses should be protected at the rear, while he, a Heart Demon Tribe genius, faced such hardships, feeling even more stifled. ... Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed. Now in the fifth year of the apocalypse, ever since repelling the Devil Tribe's second onslaught, the alien tribes seemed to vanish without a trace, with only sporadic sightings of scattered groups, and hardly any alien tribe dared to reveal themselves. Instead, conflicts among human shelters never ceased. Under the administration of sanctuaries like Green Shade, large shelters had mostly formed a stable order, but myriad small and medium shelters were continually destroyed and sprouted anew like mushrooms after rain. Without the alien threat, many forces turned against their own. The Green Shade Defense Perimeter had expanded to the size of an entire Tian Nan Province. Post-apocalypse, Tian Nan Province spanned a vast area, its defense perimeter containing certified transit stations and shelters of all sizes, including private ones. All forces within adhered to Green Shade’s order. Under Lord Tang’s leadership, some adventurers prospered first, leading the remaining awakened and ordinary survivors. "But why is the Devil Tribe so timid? Even though I've prepared thoroughly, even if several legendary demonic beasts appeared at once, it would be no big deal. But the Devil Tribe has retreated so thoroughly; could there be… a grand scheme?" The world barrier had only thinned imperceptibly compared to two years ago. Another world was already queued up as number 53, yet the most valuable remained the Mountain Seas World. "The second Transcendent tier is close at hand, and I must secure the Nether Sea Crystal that can shatter origin limits." The Nether Sea Crystal lay deep within the Endless Sea, its exact location unknown. Tang Yu picked up a formal application — Zhushu Li and Lorraine intended to apply for long-term travel. — "On the Formation of an Endless Sea Pirate Crew and the Quest for the Nether Sea Crystal" "Quite formal indeed." ... In the Mountain Seas World, amidst the Endless Sea, on a certain island cluster. Resided some amphibious races. At this time, "Charge!" The amphibious races erupted into brutal combat, staining the land with reddish-brown hues, waves surged in the sea, and the skies fired dazzling bursts. A hidden void Heart Demon Tribe clone slightly nodded, "Time to prepare the next plan."
