My Apocalypse Territory

Zuofo stood by the side of the coffin, his hands clasped across his chest, an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Translucent Mysterious Runes flickered underfoot, gathering the life energy from the refined fresh blood and pouring it incessantly into his body.

Having slumbered for too long, even after employing all his methods, he still couldn't fully resist the ravages of time, which had aged not just his body, but his soul as well.

True sleep wasn't merely about being frozen; moreover, he did not know for how long he had been asleep, not even he was clear on that matter.

But the entire world, without a doubt, had changed beyond recognition.

"Fortunately, I'd anticipated this situation and spent a fortune to have those Rune Masters arrange this special Rune Array......"

Zuofo glanced at the struggling Awakeners with some surprise, "To think they lack even a decent legacy, no wonder their strength is so weak..."

The entire Secret Realm was his setup; once certain conditions were met, it would break free from the wandering layers of space to successfully link with the main world.

To obtain a sufficient number of sacrifices, he had intentionally opened several more exits in the Secret Realm, decreasing its stability as a consequence, but Zuofo didn't care. All these arrangements were for the sake of arriving at this era of infinite possibilities.

"What I didn't expect is although these people are weak, the life energy contained within their blood is surprisingly abundant. I initially planned to gather some sacrifices after restoring a certain level of my strength, but now it seems that just these individuals are enough, more than sufficient, even."

"Moreover, the blood seems to contain traces of very pure soul energy," Zuofo mused. Restoring his life force would revive his strength, but with the nourishment of that pure soul power, not only could his aged soul be rejuvenated, it might even advance further.

Such a purity of soul power was likely to be a gift from this era, which ignited a fiery passion in his heart.

"Perhaps, I will soon break through to the long-coveted realm. It is indeed as the prophecy foretold, an era of all things reviving. In the previous era, despite all my efforts, I could not achieve a breakthrough, yet now, it seems within reach."

He suddenly glanced to the side, "Oh, there are a few stronger ants, and they possess professional legacies, now that's interesting."

At that moment, Grey Blade emerged from the shadow of the coffin.

Wielding dual swords with empty hands, his speed was lightning fast; with a raise of his hand, dazzling silver sword light dimmed the entirety of the hall.

The surrounding chill surged, about to encase Zuofo in frost.

In the distance, the booming sound of gunfire roared.

And a golden radiance spilled down, draping a layer of golden gauze over several individuals.

In an instant, they struck simultaneously, their coordination tacit.

......

Far away, Tang Yu's eyes flickered as he stared at a Reconnaissance Crystal the size of a chicken egg in his hand.

The crystal projected a light screen the size of a tablet, on which a miniature Zuofo was displayed.

This was the result from a Basic Reconnaissance Crystal.

[Zuofo]

Tier: Currently Tenth Layer of Awakening/Thirteen Layer Perfection (Peak)

Age: ???

Gender: Male

Race: Hybrid Human

Abilities: 1. Ghostly Soul Touch; 2. ???; 3. ???; 4...

Weakness: ???

After all, the Reconnaissance Crystal was only basic, and with Zuofo's high level of strength, the amount of useful information it could detect was limited.

But it also confirmed Tang Yu's suspicions.

This Zuofo was using some method to recover his strength, and at his prime, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Awakening Tier.

Furthermore, Zuofo was different from the Awakeners he had encountered previously, possessing some unique techniques according to the situation.

Tang Yu was not surprised.

After all, he came from an ancient era, self-proclaimed as the Thief King, who had mastered many runes, and was even capable of setting up such a tomb. No matter how cautious they had been, it wasn't overcautious.

If it weren't for the Sky-splitting Crystal, Tang Yu would have thought about escaping back to the city by now.

"However, fortunately, Eileen and the others all have the strength of the Seventh and Eighth Awakening Tier, and the gap between them and Zuofo wasn't too large, coupled with their cooperation..."

Indeed, as expected, Zuofo was being suppressed by Eileen and her group.

The other Awakeners struggling to hold on couldn't help but reveal smiles of joy.

However, Zuofo didn't show the slightest worry on his face, "My knights, take care of them for me."

He drifted backward.

The two warriors clad in full armor, however, charged forward, flipping over many Awakeners along the way, and even the Heavy Armor Puppets were overturned as well.

In terms of sheer ferocity, these two Super Soldiers seemed even fiercer than Zuofo!

"Darn it, we still can't stop them!"

An Awakener shouted, after the two Super Soldiers joined the fray, there were still many Heavy Armor Puppets attacking those experts, and from the opened caves, an endless stream of Heavy Armor Puppets continued to emerge.

Their numbers were even greater than the ones that chased them through the Beast Mouth passage before.

The situation reversed in an instant, and the few experts who had just suppressed Zuofo were suddenly in crisis!

"Damn it! Those experts are indeed not a match for Zuofo."

"Alas, those few are actually very strong. They were able to hold on for such a long time against Zuofo and those two knights. Didn't you see the Warhammer Commander couldn't even withstand a single blow?"

"But what good is that? They are still no match. It's over, we're all going to die here!"

Among the crowd, some elite Awakeners understood the principle of when lips die, teeth feel cold, and wanted to rush forward to help.

The leader of the Silver Wolves, the man with long hair, suddenly had his black hair turn silver-white, and a bright crescent mark appeared on his forehead.

His fingers elongated into claws as his entire body turned into a phantom that whizzed through Heavy Armor Puppets, and in the next instant, the man materialized, with many Heavy Armor Puppets around him cut in two.

He took a deep breath, his speed burst forth again, turning into a silver light, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind one of the Super Soldiers, his claws falling heavily on the head of the Super Soldier like a downpour.

The next moment,

Boom!

The man was thrown out like a burst sack, hanging on a stone wall, with crimson blood continuously flowing from his mouth, and his silver-white hair had already turned back to black.

There were a few others present like the leader of the Silver Wolves, who had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Awakening.

However, at the same Body-shaping Stage, these people had not yet tapped into their potential and lacked Combat Skills and Magic. In front of Zuofo and the two Super Soldiers, they were completely out of their league.

The Silver Wolf Commander, already seriously injured, gave a wry smile, "I never imagined the gap between me and them would be this huge. Those people are definitely stronger than the Military's strongest, yet what kind of monsters are Zuofo and those two invincible warriors?"

The battle was a catastrophic defeat.

The mercenaries of Lindong grew more and more desperate.

Suddenly, someone remembered something and shouted, "Where's the big boss? The big boss hasn't taken action yet, maybe we still have a chance!"

"Look, the big boss is over there!"

At the entrance of Black Stone Gate, they saw Tang Yu in tycoon-level battle armor, slowly approaching.

A golden glow shrouded his armor, and several blue shields revolved around his body. Above his head, red and blue halos spread out.

As he passed by, the Awakeners around him suddenly surged with infinite strength, and even the courage that had been gradually lost, in this instant, emerged from the depths of their hearts.

"Charge!"

Someone yelled.

In their eyes, the light radiating from Tang Yu made everything and everyone in the hall pale in comparison!

In this world, only the figure that slowly walked forward remained.
