In the distance, the battle raged on between Transcendent human and alien races.
The human race was at a complete disadvantage, and although they could hold on for a while, they couldn't escape.
After Mo Ke's tail grew enormously and devoured Gulete, he didn't lift a finger again.
It wasn't until after several minutes had passed and Gulete's life force utterly vanished that Mo Ke's tail slowly retracted and returned to its original form.
A brief flash of light sparkled in his eyes.
"Purcell Royal Family? A decent racial talent, indeed, but sadly used by incompetent individuals."
He scoffed, his eyes twinkling with a hint of pleasant surprise.
glancing toward the distant battlefield where several Transcendent beings of the human race had already fallen, with most of them severely injured, their vitality flickering unstably.
"Freeze..." Mo Ke whispered softly, speaking in the common language of the Fourth Epoch, pronouncing it perfectly.
a white line a few centimeters long appeared and a phantom eye abruptly opened.
Space was gripped in that instant, and all Transcendents, whether alien or human, were terrifyingly frozen in place.

all the Transcendent humans burst open, like over-inflated balloons.
The Transcendent beings of the alien race watched this scene terrified, and after a long while, when the frozen space was released and they gulped down their saliva, they looked at Mo Ke with even greater trepidation.
The Upper Envoy Clan was truly terrifying!
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on a certain island, a bustling little town was established.
Behind the town stood a towering mountain, shrouded in mist, occasionally visible.
That was the Purcell Royal Family's inherited treasure passed down through generations, the "Purcell Divine Mountain."
The town at the foot of the mountain was also named "Purcell Town."
The town was bustling with people coming and going; it was quite lively.
In reality, compared to a large Sanctuary, the town had few residents. Almost all of them were Awakeners of high tiers and above, the rest were family members of a few strong individuals.
Only exceptionally powerful Awakeners were qualified to settle in the town.
As a result, the town was very safe.
There were no Abyssal Rifts on the island, and the occasional attack of demonized sea beasts or the rare outbreak of a Sea Beast Tide were no trouble for the many strong individuals. They couldn't make any waves.
From time to time, Transcendents would emerge from the Divine Mountain.
Take today, for instance, the Clan Leader of the Purcell Royal Family, Gulete, led dozens of Transcendents on an expedition to eliminate an alien race stronghold. Several hours had passed, and the Awakeners in the town were still discussing the fleeting figures of those grand personages.
"I heard this is already the third alien stronghold our Imperial Dynasty has eradicated!"
"With dozens of Transcendent individuals, surely someone as significant as Lord Gulete marching out is overkill for eliminating aliens."
"That's right, places like Myriad Buddha Valley can only hunker down under the alien assault, unlike us... This is the difference."
"That's why I didn't hesitate to settle here, if I'm lucky I might even catch the eye of one of the Transcendent greats."
"I've heard there are many Transcendents in Green Shadow City too?"
"How can they compare to our Purcell Imperial Dynasty!"
Most of the Transcendents in the town came from nearby small nations, and some from farther afield, like Awakeners from Australia and South America—high tier Awakeners didn't have the ability to travel such long distances, they all arrived near the island through the residual space transmission channels of the Holy Domain.
These people were actually those who were eliminated in the initial "Holy Domain Eligibility Battle."
They lacked the capacity to travel to Green Shadow.
Those capable of entering the Holy City and planning to settle in a major power had already used the Holy City's transit space to reach the "Holy Domain - East Eight Zone" and traveled through the transmission channels to the vicinity of Green Shadow.
The Awakener from Purcell Town, however, didn't consider themselves inferior to others.
Especially in recent times, the Purcell Imperial Dynasty had risen to prominence.
"Lord Gulete and his party should be coming back soon, right? If we perform well, maybe we could receive guidance from some Transcendent..."
The speaking Awakener's expression changed, from anticipation to shock, and then to panic.
He stared blankly into the distance.
The once endless blue sky suddenly darkened, with ominous clouds rolling in, casting a terrifying presence that weighed on everyone's heart.
"That, that, that, what is that?!"
A massive head emerged from the clouds, its cold snake eyes looming over the dense crowd below.
Several figures burst out from the Divine Mountain, standing firm in the sky, their expressions grave.
Seeing a few Transcendents appear, the Awakeners from the small town heaved a deep sigh of relief, their clothes already soaked in sweat.
But what they didn't know was that even the members of the Purcell Royal Family, who were Transcendents, felt even more panic at that moment.
The higher they stood, the clearer they saw the gap between themselves and that colossal creature in the distance.
"What, what sort of monster?"
"The, the Clan Leader? Is there no news yet?"
"We've been unable to contact them, could it be..."
The gigantic head slowly drew closer, revealing a body that stretched endlessly and a pair of wings that seemed small in contrast but were in reality immensely vast.
The entire small town, including the towering Divine Mountain at the back, seemed minuscule in front of the world-class Demonized Beast.
The horrific presence advanced, and already numerous Awakeners in the town had fainted under its oppression. Even the High Tier Awakeners were pale and unable to move.
"Run! Activate the Divine Mountain!"
The leader of the Purcell Royal Family immediately ordered, and several figures quickly entered the Divine Mountain.
Golden rays shot up into the sky.
The towering mountain peak transformed into a golden sword and slashed towards the terrifying giant creature.
The dense clouds split apart, and the piercing screech echoed for dozens of miles around the sea area, knocking out all the Awakeners in the town. Those with weaker strengths bled from all orifices and met their demise.
The Hundred-Winged Demon Snake Emperor flapped its wings, and the sky became its territory, with hurricanes rolling forward at its command.
The sharp golden light was blocked by the endless wind pressure, eventually dissipating in front of the massive head.
The entire "Purcell Divine Mountain" seemed to deflate, its peaks adorned with golden light now dimming.
The massive snake head retracted, and Source Qi from tens of miles around in the sea area began to converge.
A terrifying ball of black light formed in the snake's mouth, and like a sword, it shot out piercing through everything!
Tearing through the air,
As if heralding the end of the world, nothing remained but that trail of black light.
The small town was obliterated, without leaving behind a single trace.
Within several kilometers, islands and sea water vanished into nothingness, leaving only a gigantic void waiting to be refilled by the surrounding sea.
Only now did the explosion sound arrive.
The outermost golden light of the "Purcell Divine Mountain" shattered, its lower half along with the buildings, was pierced through by the black light, devoured by the infinite darkness.
The upper half of the Divine Mountain, however, like a lizard shedding its tail, broke free and, along with the already cracking remnants of the mountain, escaped into the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Water once again rolled in, filling the void and creating a massive vortex.
Mo Ke, standing atop the colossal head, flashed a look of surprise in his eyes.
"It turns out to be a broken Holy Artifact, befitting of an Origin Star with a once-glorious civilization, quite interesting..."
