My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 979 - 794: Purple Flame Sky Domain (Extended - )
But the Purple Flame Sky Domain is equally vast.
Even if the number of Holy Tier were to increase tenfold, it would be like throwing gold into the sea, disappearing instantly.
Tang Yu had learned that in terms of area, the Purple Flame Sky Domain could rival half the size of the Dark Teeth Star Domain... and that is a Star Domain!
In such a range, even the complete spread of a Holy Tier’s perception cannot cover a billionth of it.
Finding a safe region should be feasible.
He did not immediately enter but instead performed space shifting along the boundary of the Sky Domain.
His figure intertwined between reality and void, capable of flying across vast cosmic distances in an instant.
After a period of time, an island floating in space appeared before Tang Yu.
As he approached, the island grew larger in view... it wasn’t an island at all, but rather an expansive continent.
Floating silently in the cosmos.
Upon closer inspection, there was a magnificent city at the center of the continent, and outside the city, there was a massive semi-transparent light shield enveloping it.
From time to time, powerful beings piloted flying boats, landing on the continent, passing through the light shield unobstructed, and entering the city.
This is a Space City, with land serving as its foundation, likely brought here by a mighty being with great power.
The Space City will not manifest in the higher realm void.
It is not a world, lacking a world barrier and unable to form its own cycle, but precisely because of this, the floating continent is not hindered by world barriers and can become a neutral place of rest.
During Tang Yu’s period of cosmic exploration, he also rested in this type of Space City built by powerful forces, where civilizations, powers, or strong beings qualified to explore the universe came and went.
Many civilizations do not possess the ability to break through world barriers to descend upon planets, but building space gates and the like is not too difficult.
It was during a visit to a Space City that he heard news about the ’Purple Flame Sky Domain’.
However, the Space City before him now was the largest in scale he had seen.
To construct such a neutral Space City in a Star Domain like the Purple Flame Sky Domain, where Holy Tiers frequently pass through, the energy behind it cannot be underestimated.
"Qino Empire, huh..."
He had only briefly inquired along the way, and learned that the Qino Empire’s territory spanned five or six surrounding Star Domains, making it a cosmic overlord-level force.
Although not comparable to the Four Races of the high-dimensional Upper Realm, it was still a premier power.
Tang Yu transformed into a beam of light and flew into the city.
Upon entering the light shield’s range, he immediately felt the temperature rise significantly, approximately 10~20°C, and there was air, with various components similar to that of a typical life planet.
Tang Yu looked around, and there were quite a few ’handsome-looking’ Sharp Horned People within the city. They were the most populous race within the Qino Empire’s territory, considered a branch of the Human Race, but to ordinary humans, the appearance of Sharp Horned People seemed rather complex.
These Sharp Horned People were all ’ordinary people’ below the Transcendent Tier, serving as the service personnel of the Space City. The light shield enveloping the Space City was not used for defense but to provide an environment in which the Sharp Horned People could survive.
Of course, it also allowed the strong beings resting in the Space City to feel homely warmth.
Tang Yu waved away a Sharp Horned Person who wished to serve him and wandered alone within the city.
He did not expand his perception, because it was uncertain which corner of the city might house a Holy Tier. Expanding perception could easily be detected and is considered uncivilized behavior, and if encountered by someone with a bad temper, it could lead to getting beaten up.
"Oh?"
He looked up as a burst of flame light erupted in the distance, and within the flame light, a powerful being with a Domain Level Peak aura burned away completely.
There were also some residual traces left by a Holy Tier when they took action.
Some surviving Sharp Horned People fled with a low cry, but most appeared accustomed to it.
In the Purple Flame Space City, ordinary Sharp Horned People held the lowest status, akin to pigs and sheep; even peak strongmen and invincible strongmen needed to tread cautiously in such a place, unsure if they would provoke a Holy Tier.
And the Saints were at the top of the food chain.
The Qino Empire, the force behind the Purple Flame Space City, had guards and strong beings stationed in the city, but they only managed Transcendent Tiers, turning a blind eye to Holy Tier presences as long as they didn’t go too far.
There’s no need to offend a Holy Tier presence over trivial matters.
Of course, Holy Tier presences had their limits when they acted, as evidenced by the recent issue involving a Saint, which only affected a teahouse. Aside from the Domain Level Peak quasi-monster, only two or three Transcendent Tiers and dozens of Sharp Horned People perished, a matter of little concern in the eyes of the behind-the-scenes managers.
Tang Yu slightly frowned, his steps unceasing as he continued moving forward.
Perception didn’t spread well, but his hearing was excellent. Even if some strongmen chatted without intentionally concealing their words, he could hear clearly even across kilometers.
"Another unlucky peak strongman, must be a newcomer."
"Hey, don’t talk about this. Have you found the fire seed?"
"How could it be so easy? I’ve been in the Purple Flame Sky Domain for fifteen years, stayed two years the first entry, five the second, and the third time was just recently, barely made it out. I only saw the purple flame fire seed appear from afar once, but... it was snatched by a big shot. I didn’t dare to speak."
"Ah, same here. Unless one can delve deep into the sky domain, the probability of discovering fire seeds increases significantly, but risks also multiply. I once tried and almost lost my life."
A voice coming from another direction caught Tang Yu’s attention.
"Things aren’t peaceful lately, I’m afraid the Purple Flame Sky Domain can’t stay anymore."
"What happened?"
"Have you heard of the high-dimensional upper realm? It’s the nest of peak tribes like the Human Race and Spirit Race. I heard that not long ago it was breached by the Devil Race, the entire universe might ignite in war again."
"Devil Race? Heard they leave no grass wherever they go? Damn! Why do the Human Race and Spirit Race fall so quickly?"
"I heard the Spirit Emperor Hall of the Spirit Race and Human Emperor Pavilion of the Human Race have fallen, only a few Holy Tier big shots survived. The glory of the peak tribes might be history... Yet, if the sky falls, taller people will hold it up, no need for us to worry blindly. Besides, the universe is so big, if we provoke the Devil Race, can’t we just hide?"
"You’ve got a point."
Tang Yu concentrated, listening to the secrets one by one, suddenly shadowed by the darkness ahead.
Two brawny figures over twenty meters tall blocked his path.
Tang Yu glanced at them. They resembled Stonemen, but their body surfaces had complex patterns and black flames burning continuously.
They’re from the Molten Rock Demon Tribe.
"Human Race kid, just arrived at the Purple Flame Sky Domain, right?"
The other Molten Rock Demon spoke loudly, "Don’t ask why we know, we can spot newcomers like you with a glance. Entering the Purple Flame Sky Domain rashly as a newcomer, the probability of falling is at least eighty to ninety percent. Joining an established battle group is the best way."
"Yes, our Holy Fire Corps is currently recruiting newcomers. As long as you contribute enough during exploration, you’ll be awarded a purple flame fire seed. This is your rare opportunity, seize it well, Human Race kid."
Tang Yu halted, did not raise his head.
Holy Fire?
In the Purple Flame Sky Domain, there are many temporary corps assembled, but those with ’Holy’ present must have a Holy Tier entity presiding, among numerous Fire Takers, at the top tier.
But, what does this have to do with Lord Tang?
"Move aside."
"Agree and sign this contract... wait a minute, what did you say?" The Molten Rock Demon strongman’s voice suddenly rose several folds, attracting the gaze of many Transcendent Tier individuals.
But soon they looked away, walking towards the distance, their pace gradually quickening.
"I said, move aside."
Lord Tang is a peaceful man, unwilling to act, he directly bypassed the two Molten Rock Demons, continuing his pace neither fast nor slow. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The Molten Rock Demon’s face gradually turned rigid.
"You might not know, the Holy Fire Corps was established by a great Saint."
Tang Yu’s steps remained uninterrupted.
"You dare to disrespect the Saint!" His fan-sized hand grasped forward, the palm burning fiercely with black flame, clearly intending to use the excuse of disrespecting the Saint to forcibly act, pressuring the newcomer.
The moltent rock demons weren’t doing this for the first time.
As long as they handled it right, they could recruit some ’cannon fodder’ for the corps; within the Purple Flame Sky Domain, areas are divided into moderate danger or extreme danger, requiring clueless cannon fodder to explore.
But before the Molten Rock Demon’s huge hand grasped down, a touch of glazed flame shadow appeared in his vision, the instinctive sense of crisis surged straight to his brain, but before he could react, consciousness plunged into darkness completely.
The other Molten Rock Demon strongman stared blankly, his gigantic body shivered, retreating a step involuntarily.
Until a Holy Tier aura rose, enveloping him, the terror on his face gradually faded, replaced by a fierce look in his eyes.
