My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 606 - 534: Personal Domain VS World Tree Domain

Five days before the sacrifice ceremony.

The weather was overcast.

"Those nobles, quite a few of them have temporarily stored their treasures in Duke Morton Mansion," Lorraine said quietly after reading the intelligence.

"It’s not surprising, if the treasures were hidden elsewhere in the Royal Capital, it wouldn’t be absolutely safe. Storing them in Duke Morton Mansion could be because they trust the mansion’s strength and also because they are enticing us."

Tang Yu said; he was also wearing a black robe, with a set of silver war armor underneath. "These days, many Transcendents who have been in seclusion year-round have already emerged. There are frequent comings and goings at the duke’s mansion, among them many Transcendents. This matter, I fear Duke Morton is aware and it would be difficult to completely deceive us... He is throwing down the gauntlet to us."

Grey Blade thought more deeply, "Should we hit other mansions intermittently?"

"No."

"Families with deep roots either have already secured the branches of the World Tree from their treasuries, or they have already moved them... It was never possible to fully collect the scattered branches of the World Tree, but now, what we have in our hands is already considerable. Just getting that batch from the duke’s mansion will suffice in terms of quantity.

Duke Morton may be confident in himself, but aren’t you confident in yourselves?"

Shay remarked, "Lord is right, just go straight at them!"

Lorraine flicked her hair, "I heard that Duke Morton is especially wealthy, plus the treasures stored by other nobles... I feel like I can already see mountains of treasure piling up, even if we only get 10% of the loot from one operation, that still is..."

Her eyes nearly gleamed with light.

Bamboo rat Li urged, "Then let’s act swiftly, I must show them what Illusion Technique is!"

Tang Yu held up two fingers, "There are two things you got wrong.

First, Xiaoli, your task today is different from ours. Just like Xing Ling and Xing Yue, while we confront the duke’s mansion head-on, you’ll seize the opportunity to scour other estates for the World Tree, taking as much as possible. The three of you are quite skilled in this area. Act independently and speed up. If you encounter any ambush you can’t resist, use the Return City Scroll to leave the battlefield."

The bamboo rat Li felt utterly dispirited, already feeling like an ineffective rat and didn’t dare to refute, remembering the last time she was tricked by the lord!

"The second point, the 10% of the loot is if only two people teamed up. Actually, for those participating, it’s a split of 20% of the loot. And this time, aside from me..."

Lorraine was stunned. Her gaze swept over to Shay, Grey Blade, Fani, Kong, herself, and others like Red Moon who had hurried from Green Shadow. If calculated like this, to say nothing of 10%, it was unknown if they even had 3%... Why couldn’t they forego reinforcements!

From her expression, Tang Yu knew what Lorraine was thinking.

Facial reading was especially effective against the greedy and gluttonous.

But a high distribution was impossible, being a lord, he was also helpless! Optimizing the system buildings needed money, developing the territory needed money, paying officials and warriors also needed money...

Tired Tang didn’t want to speak.

"The time is almost upon us, let’s get ready to set out."

...

Duke Morton Mansion.

Over the past few days, some Transcendents had secretly entered the mansion, but for most of the guards and servants in the mansion, it remained as usual.

However, due to some recent rumors around the Royal Capital, the guards charged with protecting the duke’s mansion did not dare to be careless and patrolled attentively.

"The rumors must be false, right? I think it’s been very peaceful recently, who would dare to sneak into our duke’s mansion?"

"Who knows, though I don’t think so either, we at least need to keep up appearances. If any thieves really dare sneak into the mansion, if we’re serious, catching them would mean promotions and riches are just around the corner?"

"That makes sense..."

Whoo—

A shrill alarm sounded.

On the ground and in the air of Duke Morton Mansion, countless arrays emerged.

At the same moment,

A terrifying aura burst forth from the distance.

The guards, terrified, gazed into the distance where several figures in black robes stood in midair.

Looking down upon the mansion.

"Black Robe Organization—"

"We’ve waited long enough—"

Almost like Instant Teleportation, as soon as the alarm sounded, nearly ten figures appeared in midair, confronting the figures in black robes.

Soon, more and more transcendent auras were emanating from the mansion, swiftly converging on the battlefield.

Duke Morton was at the forefront, his chilling gaze sweeping across the six figures in black robes. "Have you all arrived? Well, that is expected... It’s all within my calculations."

Glancing beside him at nearly fifty transcendent beings, Duke Morton remarked that although the opposition was prepared, his preparations were even more substantial.

There were twenty transcendents affiliated with the Duke’s mansion, and nearly thirty others he had invited, all of whom were experts among transcendent beings. With such strength, it surpassed even ten Marquis Mansions.

He could see no reason for failure.

Despite this, Duke Morton still planned no idle chatter nor underestimated the enemy. He directly activated several enhancement arrays constructed with World Tree branches at their core, each offering support to the strongest individuals present.

"The strength of these Black Robe Organization individuals is formidable, but they are outsiders after all. If we can beat them to a pulp, perhaps, we can recruit them."

The power enhancement from a single array increased Duke Morton’s power nearly tenfold in a short period. The surging waves of energy pushed his allies several steps to the side.

On one side were nobles’ transcendent with various equipment, and on the other side were figures in black robes.

Both sides released their momentum without reservation, splitting the sky in half, creating a visible dividing line between them that was now moving towards the Black Robe side.

Tired Tang raised an eyebrow.

In terms of momentum, they were somewhat lacking.

After all, they were fewer in number and not far superior in realm: both Seven Cores Senior Transcendent and Three Cores Senior Transcendent were essentially First Tier transcendent, affected by the World Tree Array...

"So, let’s just get straight to it."

"Haha, I’ve been waiting for Lord Tang to say that!"

Shay launched a bombardment, a giant fireball blossoming in the air and sending waves rolling outwards.

Kong wielded two swords, and the invisible Sword Domain spread out, clashing and compressing with the unstable domain formed by the World Tree Array.

Lorraine, Grey Blade, and Fani also made their moves.

Fireballs exploded in the air, thunderous noises echoed without ceasing, and the clouds were torn open one after another. Further away, the light curtain covering the Duke’s Mansion rippled layer upon layer.

They were surrounded by nearly forty transcendent beings, most of whom were Senior Transcendent.

The main force consisted of a few transcendents whose powers were significantly boosted.

On the battlefield, Shay and the others found themselves at a disadvantage.

The Duke’s Mansion was indeed well-prepared, and although Red Moon and Greta were still hidden, even their addition might not resolve the battle quickly enough.

His gaze fell on Duke Morton, who, unlike other nobles whose control dramatically decreased after a surge in power, managed to maintain strong control with minimal power leakage...

It only meant that Duke Morton had activated the World Tree Array multiple times before to attempt and become proficient.

He was a wealthy man.

"Not only that, the Duke’s Mansion’s array is of a higher level, the domain power it disperses is more stable. Besides Kong, everyone else was more or less affected by the domain."

Tired Tang himself felt the discomfort, as if a mountain was pressing on him.

Several other transcendent beings were eyeing him eagerly, ready to strike at any moment.

He snapped his fingers, and his personal domain unfolded.

Buzz—

Invisible fluctuations spread, and the oppressive domain engulfing him was dispelled, providing much relief.

He expanded his personal domain to about one kilometer, feeling little resistance. Glancing over at Kong, he noticed that while Kong was unaffected, the Sword Domain faced compression, shrinking in scope.

"Perhaps, the tier of my personal domain is relatively high."

His domain continued to spread, two kilometers, three kilometers, five kilometers... suddenly covering a top transcendent enhanced by the World Tree Array.

Instantly, the transcendent’s expression changed, the power enhancing him fluctuated wildly, and Fani, seizing the opportunity, struck him down with a palm.

Tired Tang stroked his chin, "Could it be that since the power enhancement comes from the World Tree Array’s domain, once the domain is affected, the enhancement also becomes unstable? What if the domain is completely shattered?"

The core of an array is generally very well-hidden and hard to destroy. He had not considered such a plan before, but now, it seemed more direct.

Great Lord Tang steadied the mask on his face, and with an "Instant Step", he crossed several kilometers to a spot near the top transcendent Fani had struck down.

Concentrating, he controlled his personal domain to thoroughly disperse the domain power surrounding them from the World Tree Array.
