My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 472 - 437: Station No. 2269

The closer they got, the clearer the energy fluctuations became.

They could already glimpse from afar the intense glow of Source Power blossoming, illuminating the dim Mirage Mountain Range.

A completely blood-red, single-horned, winged giant beast towered over the members of the Blood Mouth Clan.

The giant beast swung its claws, easily slicing through space.

The transcendent members of the Blood Mouth Clan used their methods to actually block the Single-Horned Giant Beast’s attack.

Nightmare watched this scene from afar.

Tang Yu was very surprised... Alien race members below transcendence had already been killed by the shock waves, but fifteen First Tier transcendent creatures could actually hold their ground against a Second Tier transcendent?

Tang Yu, who had some understanding from the documents, knew that the gap between First Tier and Second Tier was as vast as a chasm.

"No, that’s not right... The transcendent holding the giant hammer, with combat power far surpassing the other elders, alone took on most of the pressure. Ordinary First Tier transcendents weren’t of much use."

Moreover, the Single-Horned Giant Beast was at ease, probably not using its full strength, while the transcendent alien race members were already struggling.

Seemingly aware they were no match for the giant beast, the transcendent members of the alien race, though infuriated, were also ready to retreat and not intent on a direct confrontation.

At that moment,

a hint of mockery flashed through the giant beast’s bell-sized eyes, followed by its right claw turning golden. A huge shadow of a claw emerged, enveloping the heavens and earth, tearing down with a swipe!

The transcendent with the giant hammer’s expression changed dramatically, seeming to have made some decision. The next moment, Source Qi burst forth from his body, enveloping him in dense Qi.

At a certain cost, he suddenly unleashed a power far beyond his own.

Wrapped in the massive Source Qi, the transcendent gripped the hammer with both hands, spinning rapidly.

Boom!

Bright light burst forth, and the violent energy tide swept in all directions.

Nearby peaks collapsed one after another, turning into dust.

The ground formed a huge crater, river water flowed in reverse, eventually turning into a lake.

Tang Yu took a sharp intake of cold air.

If those attacking alien races possessed this kind of strength, not to mention whether we could withstand them, just the aftermath of their fight would completely destroy the Sanctuary miles away.

"It seems necessary to increase research into defense-oriented large-scale spells." frёewebηovel.cѳm

The tide of energy gradually dissipated.

Nightmare peered closely, the transcendent alien race, seizing the opportunity, had already fled far away, nearly disappearing from sight.

What about the Single-Horned Giant Beast?

As Tang Yu was wondering why it hadn’t pursued them, he saw the Single-Horned Giant Beast curiously circling the palace a few times.

It reached out its claw, tapping on the palace, a faint light film emerged, with even more golden light shining through.

The Single-Horned Giant Beast got startled, flapping its wings to instantly fly away, but it soon realized the golden light had no intimidating power. Its claw turned golden, pounding at the light film. The emitted golden light fell on its claw, but it couldn’t inflict a scratch.

Tang Yu’s teeth ached.

The alien race was gone, but it left behind an even more terrifying mutant beast.

This is not what I had expected!

...

The Single-Horned Giant Beast seemed to have found a new toy, playing with great delight. Tang Yu’s prayers for it to get bored and leave didn’t happen.

"What do we do? The light film was obviously weakened a lot by the alien race before, it poses no threat to the Single-Horned Giant Beast; at this rate, it won’t be long before it breaks through."

He felt inclined to lure it again, but if Nightmare appeared once more, catching the Single-Horned Giant Beast’s attention again may not be as feasible as before.

The most likely scenario was that the Single-Horned Giant Beast would directly gather the massive claw shadow and strike down.

The disparity in strength was too great; Tang Yu didn’t even know if he had a chance to enter Deep Space. If he couldn’t escape, the best outcome would be to use the Return City Scroll, but that also meant having to give up this palace.

It seemed like his prayers were heard.

The Single-Horned Giant Beast, after bombarding for dozens of minutes without success (in reality, the light membrane had already dimmed), began to grow restless, flying back and forth frequently.

Coincidentally, figures of the Alien Race appeared in the distance.

It seemed that they hadn’t fled far and were still lingering nearby, planning to reoccupy the palace once the Single-Horned Giant Beast left.

But as soon as they showed themselves, the presence of the Alien Race was hidden, yet it couldn’t compare to that of Nightmare, and the Single-Horned Giant Beast discovered them instantly. Having grown tired of the palace, it let out a roar, its wings flapped, turning into a stream of light as it shot away.

"Just like that, it left?"

Nightmare blinked.

He silently thanked his best opponent, without hesitation, he quickly approached the palace.

Upon getting closer, he realized that the palace was extremely large, comparable to a typical university campus.

The palace consisted of a main hall and two auxiliary halls. Nightmare walked around but naturally did not find any gap.

Breaking the light membrane? That was impossible too.

Even the Single-Horned Giant Beast’s bombardment could have taken an hour or two and with Nightmare’s destructive power, an entire week would be futile.

"The only thing left to try is whether Nightmare’s abilities can penetrate the light membrane."

Tang Yu actually wasn’t very confident. Although Space Series abilities were rare, they weren’t unheard of; a light membrane that could stop a Transcendent Second Tier shouldn’t be able to stop a Space Series ability user.

But he couldn’t give up without trying.

Starting with a shallow space traversal, Nightmare stepped forward, preparing for a potential golden light counterattack.

When his palm touched the light membrane, it passed through without any resistance.

"???"

Was it really that simple?

Tang Yu was skeptical. He thought about it and had Nightmare, whose body was semi-illusory, solidify. He extended his hand to touch again...and again, it passed through without any resistance.

Until Nightmare entered entirely; the light membrane seemingly did not exist at all.

It was as if he had been granted some sort of access permission.

...

He arrived in front of the palace gate.

The gate was not closed, and one could see the empty hall inside from the first glance.

Without hesitation, Nightmare stepped inside, and the moment he crossed the threshold, a message appeared in his mind.

"Welcome to Station #2269, where you will enjoy the most attentive service."

This was a mental message, its meaning immediately comprehensible.

Tang Yu controlled Nightmare to enter, his body half-illusory, alert and ready to flee at any moment.

But he was overly cautious.

There were no traps or mechanisms within the palace; it seemed... it was just a station.

The great hall was extremely spacious, probably inscribed with a space-related Rune Array. From the outside, the palace seemed very large, but the space inside was ten or hundredfold greater.

What met his eyes were artificial mountains hundreds of meters high, with potted flowers and plants on either side, and countless buildings, both grand and exquisite, resembling a small town.

But it couldn’t withstand the passage of time.

The waterfalls cascading down from the artificial mountains were completely dry, flowers, grass, and plants all withered, and the ground was littered with items that had lost their luster due to age.

Tang Yu picked up some of these items for inspection. They were all junk, but the materials used were not ordinary, so he kept them in his Space Ring.

It was evident that due to some reason, people had left in a hurry.

"The Single-Horned Giant Beast and the Alien Race might return, I must hurry and quickly search for valuable items, preferably finding some data about the past of Origin Star!"
