My Apocalypse Territory

Brush up the market, equip everyone with some life-saving rune scrolls.

...

Time slipped away while waiting, and Kevin suddenly brought some good news, prompting Tang Yu to rush to the equipment manufacturing district immediately.

"Nancy's weapon blueprint is designed?"

In the workshop, he was somewhat surprised.

Nancy could condense armor and weapons with the Power of Ghost God, but she could still use weapons and wear armor—her companion equipment belonged to a type of energy equipment, which could be used alone or attached to weapons and armor to increase their power.

What Tang Yu entrusted Kevin with was the design of a transcendent weapon that Nancy could wield.

Only those capable of designing and forging transcendent weapons deserved the title of Equipment Master.

During his ten years as a master, Kevin had only made three transcendent weapons, which showcased the difficulty of forging such high-level equipment... and now, it had been just over a month since Nancy was summoned, yet a design drawing was completed, leaving Tang Yu no choice but to be amazed.

Kevin stroked his white beard, which resembled a horsetail whisk, and his face couldn't hide his pleasure, but he spoke modestly, "Oh, it was all thanks to the Rune Language Books you provided, Lord, that I've made such progress during this period."

He treasured a piece of thick leather paper, roughly A2 size, made from high-grade demonized beast fur and brought it over. He laid the blueprint out on the wide workbench, slowly unfolding it.

Tang Yu stepped closer to take a look.

On the paper, one could roughly make out the form of a broad-bladed great sword, composed of countless tiny, tadpole-like runes.

Each tadpole rune was incredibly complex. The already mysterious rune patterns were condensed to the extreme on this blueprint.

Cuan cuang lang zhuo...

She zhe da feng qu...

Bian qian qu liu...

Mao tang qi jue...

After concentrating and scrutinizing for a while, Tang Yu's head began to spin—after all, he was a seasoned basic Rune Master!

Shaking his head to clear it, he looked away, only to see Kevin taking out a long, narrow box.

Upon opening the box, a depressing power emanated from a silver-white arm bone inside.

"The main material for the Calamity Greatsword is this arm bone, do not underestimate it. According to my analysis, the bone's owner was no ordinary being but one who entered the Second Stage of transcendence.

Each drop of blood, each strand of hair is an extremely precious material... This silver-white arm bone, in particular, is a condensed essence of that transcendent being. Using it as the main material and integrating various advanced minerals could maximize the Dark Series energy from the bone. As a weapon, it could increase Nancy Miss's combat power by two to three times until she reaches the Second Stage."

Kevin was quite proud as he spoke, his white beard nearly curling with delight.

However, he shook his head soon after, "Designing a blueprint with the main material as the core is rather easy, but if you ask me to make it, it would take at least three to five months, which is still far from comparable to your workshop, Lord."

At the end of his boast, Tang Yu was quite satisfied.

He took the blueprint and the silver-white arm bone directly and then instructed the Logistics Department to deliver the other materials indicated on the "Calamity Greatsword" blueprint.

Items like Secret Silver Marrow Liquid, Cloud Pattern Fine Gold, Lesser Yin Essence Iron... all exceptionally rare and could serve as the core main materials for an A-grade rune weapon.

Yet, on the "Calamity Greatsword," they could only play a minor role as supplementary ingredients.

The more Tang Yu looked, the more satisfied he became.

For one must craft divine artifacts with the crystal of giants!

Arriving at the workshop, he input the blueprint into the system, and the black box activated.

There was only one blueprint for the "Calamity Greatsword," which was far easier than making a floating airship.

Unexpectedly, instead of the greatsword being instantly transported out after the materials were inserted, a progress bar labeled 'manufacturing' appeared beside the light screen of the black box.

It took about ten seconds for the progress bar to finish, and then a wholly silver-white great sword with only its hilt in black appeared at the other end of the black box.

One could vaguely see the mysterious runes inscribed on the blade.

He picked it up and weighed it in his hand, finding no issue of being too heavy or too light—the weight of such weapons could be altered according to the amount of Source Power infused.

The moment his palm touched the sword hilt, Tang Yu felt a rich surge of Dark Energy resonate with the Source Qi inside him, causing his Qi Sea to boil tumultuously.

A power wanted to burst forth.

Without thinking, Tang Yu's wrist turned, and the blade swept gently through the air.

Just then, a dense burst of Dark Energy erupted from the blade, forming a pillar of energy and blasting forward.

Boom—!!

Even the robust walls of the fifth-level workshop were blasted open, leaving a huge hole.

Looking out through the hole in the wall, a hundred-meter-long trench snaked its way out of the garden. The surrounding ground had been corroded by dark energy, turning ink-black. The even more distant and vibrant flowers all drooped their heads, a dead grey as if withered.

Startled by the disturbance, Eileen and Nancy from the castle immediately leaped out.

They locked eyes.

The scene was incredibly awkward.

Tang Yu: "..."

I'm not taking the blame for this. It was clearly the Calamity Greatsword that did it!

...

Shan City, military encampment outside the city.

This was an area specially designated by the Shan City Sanctuary for various sanctuaries to regroup.

Setting off early the next morning toward the mountains where the Doomsday Cult was located to facilitate things, troops from various sanctuaries needed to spend the night outside Shan City—they were probably not allowed into the city for fear of inviting wolves into the house—even if the likelihood of that was slim.

"Probably the hotels in Shan City can't accommodate so many people, even if they offer daily or weekly rentals."

The floating airship descended about twenty kilometers away from Shan City, and then Tang Yu, Eileen, Nancy, and about a dozen followers, accompanied by a five hundred-strong Investigation Corps, a three hundred-strong Fire Fierce Horse Cavalry Corps, and dozens of Martial Arts Hall apprentices, totaling more than eight hundred people, arrived in Shan City.

Not a small number, but compared to other large sanctuaries, it was perhaps not even a tenth.

When Tang Yu arrived, several large sanctuaries had already gathered within the areas designated by Shan City, setting up camp and pitching tents. It looked like several small settlements with people coming and going.

Shan City promised to sell a certain amount of food, and seeing the business opportunity, many vendors from inside the sanctuary swarmed out of the city, selling local specialties and goods.

But the various sanctuaries rarely bought.

When going on a long journey, it was impossible to rely on outsiders for food and supplies. Tang Yu could see countless trucks carrying food and other supplies.

It was his first time witnessing such a spectacular sight.

This was a true Awakener army, no longer the ordinary mix of soldiers and Awakeners as before.

At least five to six thousand, and sometimes more than ten thousand.

Their energies intermingled, like a hot pot with all sorts of ingredients added, very flavorful.

Tang Yu's arrival also drew frequent glances from other sanctuaries, mainly because of the three hundred cavalry riding Fire Fierce Horses whose manes flamed with the wind, which was quite surprising.

Seeing a formalized cavalry corps was a first.

Although small in numbers, they were indeed elite, and many people weighed the strength of Green Shadow in their hearts.

...

After ordering the Awakeners of the two corps to set up camp,

Tang Yu took a stroll, heading toward Lindong's camp.

The team was led by the old acquaintance Zhou Zhenglei, who had frequently visited Green Shadow lately to investigate the Doomsday Cult. Tang Yu could tell that Old General Lu was planning to train Zhou Zhenglei as his successor.

Upon arriving at Lindong's camp, Zhou Zhenglei also hurried over upon hearing the news.

Dressed in sparkling combat gear and walking with a formidable presence, his strength seemed to have advanced further.

Commander Zhou bowed slightly, "Director Tang, long time no see."

"Commander Zhou..."

Entering Lindong's camp, the bustling figures of Ancestor Dragon warriors were everywhere... Zhou Zhenglei said that they had brought a total of five thousand people this time. Tang Yu, sensing the strength of these people, found that no one was weak, and they had a disciplined iron-blooded style.

Compared with another sanctuary nearby whose name he couldn't recall, which had many people of varying abilities, Lindong was strong among the forces involved in the eradication of the cult.

After touring around and returning to Green Shadow's camp, the outdoor tents had already been set up.

They bore the Green Shadow logo, a design that was both practical and comfortable.

Tang Yu entered one of the luxurious tents, and Eileen and Nancy were staying in the tent...next to his.

Gradually, caravans from other major sanctuaries also arrived in Shan City.

Outside the city walls of Shan City, the atmosphere was bustling.
