My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 322 - 319 Dark Sky

Chapter 322 -319: Dark Sky
The meeting ultimately failed to produce an effective countermeasure.
This was within Lu Jianjun’s expectations. Even the Beiting Defense Circle was having a tough time; he had not expected to easily find a solution. He merely wanted to inform others so they would be prepared mentally.
Once the Eight-Armed Black Demon appeared…
Lu Jianjun frowned, “I fear we may have to abandon the Sanctuary and organize the survivors to break out in multiple directions.”
At that time, there would inevitably be countless deaths and injuries.
He looked towards the conference room door, the direction in which several people had left.
“Thankfully, no matter what Green Shadow has obtained, whatever opportunities he has come across, at least he’s human… That’s enough.”
…
…
Tang Yu walked the streets of Lindong and noticed that the survivors, compared to before, had less sallow complexions.
A few months prior, Lindong Sanctuary had expanded a lot, with multiple food cultivation areas opened up in the outer perimeter and a large quantity of food purchased from Green Shadow, which could basically satisfy the consumption of hundreds of thousands of survivors.
Compared to the initial confusion and despair, the survivors now had a bit more vitality.
“If the Eight-Armed Black Demon attacks, Lindong… I’m afraid it will follow in the footsteps of Xiajiang Sanctuary…”
The crisis loomed, and yet others remained oblivious.
Tang Yu shook his head.
He didn’t hope for Lindong’s downfall; it’s just like he said, self-preservation might not even be feasible, let alone anything else?
“Transcendent…”
There was one thing he didn’t mention: the Eight-Armed Black Demon was likely not a demonized beast but similar to the Skeleton Clan that appeared in Luoxia… Perhaps it was an alien race; at least, it was a form of intelligent life. Much stronger than the Catastrophe Level demonized beasts that only had child-like intelligence and relied more on instinct, the Eight-Armed Black Demon was much stronger.
Whether it was intelligence or its own combat power… Tang Yu suspected that the performance shown in the video wasn’t the full extent of the Eight-Armed Black Demon’s strength.
“We must cultivate our own Transcendent Combat Power as quickly as possible.”
Currently, Eileen was the closest to becoming Transcendent. To help her make an early breakthrough, Tang Yu had spared no expense in investing various resources, support potions, cultivation rooms, and all sorts of Ice series treasures… Unfortunately, breakthroughs to Transcendence relied more on oneself.
Even though Eileen had received the inheritance of an Ice Frost Mage, giving her a high chance of a breakthrough, achieving it in a short time frame was almost impossible.
“The Puppet Guards are currently at Half-step Transcendent. If I can find the required material ‘Soul Nodule’, perhaps Number One and Number Two could be upgraded to Transcendent Puppets, and they would be able to fight against a true Transcendent.”
“There’s another method. The suspected S-grade Summoning Array, if it could summon an S-grade follower, might make it easier to break through that bottleneck of Transcendence.”
Thinking this way, there seemed to be many strategies; however, all of them required time.
The system provided no hints about the ‘Soul Nodule’, and after searching for months, he hadn’t even a clue.
The target for the Sky-splitting Crystal required by the Summoning Array was clearer, yet secret realms were extremely rare. Over 99% of Awakeners did not even know of the secret realm’s existence, and even fewer had seen it with their own eyes.
The three teams—Red Moon, Fani, and Greta—had discovered many true and false clues in their two months of searching. The closest one was when Fani’s team witnessed a vortex-shaped space gate that led to a secret realm, but before he could get there, the entrance to the secret realm shrank and disappeared right in front of Fani and the other two.
Only then did Tang Yu realize that secret realm entrances did not always exist.
Some secret realms were covertly controlled by certain local forces, while most remained unobserved due to their remote locations. Worse still, some Awakeners who found entrances excitedly rushed in but never returned.
Tang Yu pondered.
The sky had already darkened, and the dim yellow light from the street lanterns flickered.
Survivors came and went, and nighttime was the busiest moment in the Sanctuary. Those Awakeners returning triumphant were all smiles, while those injured or with failed missions were despondent, hurrying past.
Tang Yu strolled along, heading toward the residence Grey Blade had purchased on the Lindong side.
Boom~
Without warning, rolling thunder exploded in his ears.
Many survivors were startled and looked up at the sky, where the bright moonlight had been obscured by dark clouds at some point, and blue-purple streaks of lightning zipped back and forth under the clouds.
“Is it going to rain?”
“It’s so sudden, that thunder seemed to fall right beside me, and my ears are still buzzing.”
“I miss the days when we had weather forecasts, even though I used to watch them in reverse.”
The survivors discussed among themselves but didn’t seem particularly concerned; they simply quickened their steps, looking for shelter from the rain. Sidewalk vendors, on the other hand, frowned in worry and briskly began to pack away their goods.
Tang Yu abruptly stopped walking, turned in a circle, and looked around.
‘Something’s not right.’
The booming thunder resounded nonstop, with blue-purple lightning snakes moving wildly, more extravagant than the prelude to the Destructive Thunderbolt he gathered.
And the scope was much wider.
He looked as far as he could, the lightning illuminated the clouds overhead, yet their edges were nowhere in sight.
North, south, east, west, in every direction, the clouds and lightning seemed endless, stretching on forever.
Like the apocalypse… even though they were already living in one.
Zzz… Zzz…
The streetlights around him flickered intermittently and suddenly dimmed completely. If someone looked from high above, they would see that in a moment, all the lights within the Sanctuary had gone out. After a while, only a few key buildings within the Sanctuary lit up with some weak lights that kept fading in and out.
The moonlight was obscured, and the streetlights went out in an instant, as if plunged into darkness where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
On the streets, the crowd grew restless.
“That’s strange, why can’t I turn on my mobile phone, and why is there a burning smell?”
“Mine too, it took so much effort to find those resources!”
Wails also came from the internet café on the street, “Admin, what’s happening, what’s going on, I just paid for an all-night session!”
Initially, people thought it was an isolated incident, but it quickly became apparent that the entire Sanctuary was experiencing the same situation.
The survivors became increasingly panicked.
Tang Yu’s expression grew solemn. Through a contract, he contacted Luo Zhe, who was staying in the Territory, and the news he received was not good.
Inside the Territory, many electronic devices had failed, and only system buildings and a few instruments powered directly by Source Crystal energy were still operational.
For now, it didn’t significantly affect the Territory.
However,
Tang Yu’s expression became even more grave, “Luoxia… is the same as Lindong, with thunder rolling, and it plunged into true darkness in an instant. This change… I fear it’s global.”
The thunder continued for about a few minutes and then gradually, the clouds dispersed, and a crescent moon reluctantly peered out again.
The soft moonlight fell upon them, every face shadowed.
The Lindong officials had begun to organize manpower to calm the survivors, and the science academy was also assessing the impact of the changes.
Tang Yu didn’t stay any longer here but hurried toward the city gate. Perhaps it was because of the sudden changes, an order had already been given to close the gate firmly. He used his feet to spring up, stepping through the air, and directly flew over the twenty-meter-high city wall.
Once outside in the wilderness, Tang Yu drove his Floating Chariot and flew straight back to the Territory.
