From the moment Tang Yu discovered and rushed into the Demon Tide to pursue the Ghost Hand Clan Commander, less than a minute had passed.
Even though he had triggered the cannon mode, bombarding all the way, few Awakeners noticed—distances were great, and everywhere there were screams and shouts of battle, with everyone seeing red, who had the time to pay attention to far-off events?
Zhou Zhenglei and the others fought bravely, bloodied and fiercely holding on, but gradually they began to despair.
Their only hope was that Green Shadow could show its divine might, but deep down, Zhou Zhenglei and his companions understood that Green Shadow had already shown its power. Those figures battling in the sky against the Transcendent Strongmen of the Eight-Armed Alien Race were the upper echelons of Green Shadow.
Their might was far beyond their imagination.
Getting Green Shadow as strong reinforcement, Zhou Zhenglei once again admired the old chief's foresight.
However, the power of the Doomsday Cult was more terrifying than imagined; four Transcendents had appeared! There were countless members of the Four-Armed Ghost Hand Clan who had achieved Tenth Layer or above in Awakening, each capable of overpowering the top combat power of the Sanctuary on a one-to-one basis.
People of Green Shadow formed battle formations, holding off at the forefront. Several experts were locked in combat with Alien Race warriors. It was precisely because they were at the vanguard that the battle line had managed to hold until now; however, it was only a matter of time before they were breached.
"Unless the Demon Tide's attack can be thrown into disarray, and there's a strong force to carve open a path, there's a slim chance of escape..."
Just moments ago, the incoming Demonized Beasts had become a bit chaotic, and Zhou Zhenglei thought he saw hope, but soon after, the Demon Tide regained its orderly advance and withdrawal.
Zhou Zhenglei turned his gaze toward Green Shadow's battle formation, searching—all his hopes were pinned on Director Tang.
A loud explosion; the ground shook, and Zhou Zhenglei saw several mountain peaks in the distance explode, revealing several massive figures stepping out.
"Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts!"
"How is there still such a thing!"
Several humanoid Demonized Beasts, standing five to six stories tall, were clearly visible even from several kilometers away.
Their naked bodies, disheveled hair, and under the strands of hair, the pair of blood-red eyes.
The towering brown Big Rock Snakes and the hundred-meter-long giant centipedes were all seen by the tens of thousands of Awakeners.
Their complexions turned pale...and could not grow paler.
With the size of Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts, any one of them could easily tear through their battle line.
Without a stable battle line, human Awakeners, inferior in strength and far fewer in number, would be ripped to shreds in a matter of minutes.
"There's someone over there!"
"It's Green Shadow's legendary Director Tang!"
An ability user with eagle-eye powers exclaimed.
But it brought no comfort to the others... Eileen and others had revealed Transcendent powers, and as the foremost expert of Green Shadow, an entity that even several Transcendents willingly followed, Director Tang's power was surely stronger.
Any glimmer of hope that had remained was now entrusted to Director Tang; but now, seeing the situation, it was as though their hearts had turned cold.
...Even Director Tang himself was in a dire situation!
There were a full five Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts, equivalent to five Transcendents!—They did not know the difference between Pseudo Transcendent and Transcendent, but in their eyes, Transcendents far surpassed those of the Thirteen Layer, and so did Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts, which naturally equated the two.
Facing five as one, whether Director Tang was done for, they did not know, but for themselves, there was no need to wait until next year for the grass over their graves to grow three meters tall.
The powerful presence of the Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts pressed in from all directions, its intensity comparable to that of a Transcendent.
Although they couldn't fly and had no bizarre protective fields around them, the Beasts' massive size and tough flesh...even a Transcendent, in a one-on-one fight to kill a Catastrophe Level Demonized Beast, would need to exert a great deal of effort.
1VS5, the best scenario was to hold off the encircling Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts long enough to use the Transcendent's ability to fly far away.
Needless to say, Tang Yu had not fled; his gaze swiftly moved to the stomach of the brown Big Rock Snake.
There was the Source Power reaction of the Ghost Hand Young Clan Leader.
Behind him, many ripples had already dispersed; defenses like cannons and arrow towers were insufficient against Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts... Tang Yu did not consume any Source Crystals to renew the wave of defenses.
He still had his real trump card.
The Super Demon Prism Tower! In linked mode, it was the defense structure with the single highest damage output!
Previously, even if the Prism Tower was placed on the frontline, it had a shortcoming of insufficient range. At the Transcendent Tier, just one casual attack could span hundreds of meters.
The Super Demon Prism Tower could only be used in specific terrains, such as the entrance to the Abyssal Rift.
But after developing the personal combat system, which allowed defensive structures to move with him, Tang Yu found... this setup was tailor-made for the "Super Demon Prism Tower."
Perfectly evading all drawbacks.
Except for the Consuming Crystal—the Prism Tower, in building and for each additional link object, and each charging, the Source Crystal energy consumption skyrocketed by the thousands.
One shot could effortlessly spend tens of thousands of Source Crystals.
It was far more costly than using "Spell" within the territory!
Behind Tang Yu, ripples emerged anew, not covering a large area. Hexagonal Crystals, compressed to the size of a fist, slowly floated up around his body, totaling fifteen Prism Tower crystals forming a ring.
Tang Yu raised his right hand.
Next to him, the first Prism Tower crystal began to spin, emitting a blur of blue and purple light.
The second Prism Tower crystal followed clockwise, slowly beginning to rotate, its speed gradually increasing.
Then, from the first Hexagonal Crystal, a beam of blue-purple light shot out, entering the second Hexagonal Crystal where the blue-purple light shone bright, with the crystal's rotation speed increasing more and more.
