Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 989: Chapter 414: Lord Level Power of Root (3)

With Lord Peace taking action, Hou Jingchuan felt much more at ease and immediately commanded the Management Bureau members to begin the operation.

The Four Major Organizations generally operate only within their managed areas for the harmony of the real world.

However, if any organization dares to provoke them, regardless of where the opponent is in the world, the Four Major Organizations can strike back in a short period.

This ability to quickly respond worldwide depends on strategic spaces and temporary administrative permissions.

Each branch of the Management Bureau is directly connected underground to the Red Wave Space within the Crimson Courtyard, functioning like ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays.

Through this method, everyone first arrived at the Management Bureau’s branch in Café Africa, and then, through a large teleportation device, entered the area managed by the Totem Organization.

The Management Bureau members took their positions first, secretly sealing off the area where the Totem Organization was located. Then, Hou Jingchuan informed the other three major organizations of the situation, requesting them to send reinforcements immediately.

Half an hour later, members of the four major organizations gathered around the Totem-controlled area, numbering over six thousand.

On Hou Jingchuan’s signal, the purge against the Totem Organization officially began.

The existence of Transcendents is already a semi-public secret, but before the World Dungeon, they cover up as much as possible.

They didn’t choose to have thousands of Transcendents rush in but instead kept most members on the perimeter to capture Totem members attempting to escape in the chaos.

The real entry into the Totem-controlled area was led by Cold Mountain, a special action group of about sixty people, specifically targeting the high-level Totem members for decapitation operations.

All sixty of them were ranked in the top three hundred in combat power. Dealing with the little Totem Organization was a breeze.

The total population of the Totem Organization exceeded two thousand, with over five hundred remaining at headquarters. Five hundred against sixty, they lasted only fifteen minutes before the special action group broke through their defenses and charged in.

In the domain of Transcendents, if the power gap between individuals is too large, it is extremely difficult to make up for quality with quantity.

As the battle developed to the stage of close combat, the Totem Organization collapsed at once.

The leader of the Totem Organization, ranked 145th in combat power, the Fire Bull, still attempted to break out of the encirclement using the Ultimate Skill of Reincarnation.

But before he could leave the headquarters’ gate, Cold Mountain froze him into an ice sculpture with one move.

Seeing their leader easily dealt with, the Totem members lost their will to fight and fled in all directions.

However, they didn’t know that all the borders of their controlled area were guarded by members of the Four Major Organizations, leaving them no escape.

After being captured, the Four Major Organizations have their own interrogation and identification methods.

Those not related to the Bright Society will naturally not be troubled by the Four Major Organizations. If selected as peripheral personnel by the Bright Society, their fate will be execution.

The Four Major Organizations have a lot of experience in conducting Transcendent battles in the real world. They kept the battle confined to a minimal area, making as little noise as a gang skirmish.

Several small countries sheltered by the Totem Organization were completely unaware that their guardian deities had already been captured and taken away.

As the Four Major Organizations gradually tightened their encirclement, screening for suspicious individuals, a figure suddenly burst forth from the crowd, shooting off into the distance.

The person moved extremely fast, far beyond the ordinary Desolate Realm player. He was the envoy sent by the Bright Society to the Desolate Realm to transport the Hati Divinity.

But as soon as he took off, he slammed into Wu Chang’s descending fist, being smashed back to the ground the same way he came.

Before the Bright Society envoy could get up and resist, Wu Chang expanded his Spatial Domain, trapping him within.

Inside the Spatial Domain, the Bright Society envoy got up vigilantly, looking at Wu Chang and asking,

”Peace?”

Wu Chang did not respond, directly asking, ”How many Imaginary Divinities did you bring to the Desolate Realm in total?”

The Bright Society envoy’s face changed dramatically, understanding that the plan had been thoroughly exposed. Abandoning any hope of a lucky escape, he prepared to fight to the death.

The Power of Root surged within him, under its effect, his body surface reflected a crystalline sheen, making him almost appear like a transparent gem.

The Bright Society envoy’s Power of Root was very special, named Crystal.

This Power of Root, when applied to himself, can make his body incredibly durable, hard to harm with either physical or energy attacks.

He would simultaneously form a circle of Crystal Domain around him, which crystallizes the body of anyone entering his domain.

The Power of Root he showcased was immensely powerful, not inferior to Cold Mountain.

Seeing the Bright Society envoy’s abilities, Cold Mountain immediately furrowed his brow, contemplating whether he had a method to defeat the opponent.

The answer was that it would be challenging. His cold Power of Root could at best trap the opponent’s crystal but might not suffice to break their defense.

Not to mention himself, even among the Desolate Realm players possessing the Power of Root, players with the supposedly strongest attacking Power of Root like Sword Star might not be able to break the Bright Society envoy’s crystal defense.

Cold Mountain understood the formidable nature of the crystal defense, as did the Bright Society envoy, who was chosen to enter the Desolate Realm precisely because of the strong defense of his crystal Power of Root.

With the crystal Power of Root, even if discovered by the Four Major Organizations, they still could not hold him down.

He concentrated his crystal Power of Root in his right arm, forming a crystal Long Saber, intent on tearing open Wu Chang’s Spatial Domain to escape by force.

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow slightly, extended his hand forward, and clenched it forcefully toward the Bright Society envoy.

In his vision, the spatial threads around the Bright Society envoy twisted and rotated under his control, shredding the invincible crystal defense to pieces, more crisply than an ice-crushing machine grinding ice.

In others’ eyes, it seemed as if several gigantic hands in the void twisted the crystalized limbs of the Bright Society envoy like a rag.

The Bright Society envoy’s unbreakable crystal defense shattered instantly, with his limbs being twisted into a pretzel in the space distortion, reduced back to a flesh-and-blood form.

Even when Wu Chang was at the Grandmaster Level of Space Magic, he had already accessed the Power of Spatial Root Source through Space Magic, injuring Realm of Reason players with his full power then.

Now that he had elevated Space Magic to the Lord Level, within his Spatial Domain, he could suppress with rules-like Power of Root.

Even players from the Realm of Reason couldn’t withstand him without having Lord Level Power of Root.

This is the power of the S-Level Cultivation Technique.

Less powerful players could only perceive Wu Chang’s methods as bizarre, but to those like Cold Mountain and Sword Star, who possess Power of Root, the scene was not bizarre but terrifying.

Precisely because they had Power of Root did they perceive the strength of Wu Chang’s Power of Root.

This absolute demonstration of overpowering strength could only be achieved when the ability of the Power of Root reaches the S-Level.

Cold Mountain and Sword Star exchanged a glance, with Cold Mountain posing a question, did Lord Peace ever display this level of Power of Root during the Steam Phantom Dungeon?

Sword Star shook his head, indicating no.

The two fell into silence, unsure whether Wu Chang had this S-Level Power of Root all along, merely not pressured enough in the Steam Phantom Plane to reveal it, or if the S-Level Power of Root was a reward obtained after clearing the dungeon.

They both smiled bitterly. Either scenario exceeded their imagination.

With the Totem high officials executed on the spot and the Bright Society envoy easily dealt with by Wu Chang, the remaining battle held no suspense.

The Four Major Organizations took only less than forty minutes to completely defeat the front-line organization of Totem.

Next came the interrogation phase.

Having now returned to reality, Wu Chang no longer needed to induce resentment artificially for intel from the Bright Society envoy.

He restrained the Bright Society envoy and casually handed him over to Cold Mountain, instructing him to get the Divine Tongue to prepare some Truth Serum, convey the intelligence after the questioning.

Seeing Wu Chang preparing to leave, Hou Jingchuan quickly called out to him, saying,

”Wait, Lord Peace, regarding the intelligence you sent back before the qualifying dungeon, there’s another matter I need your assistance with.”
