My Apocalypse Territory

Some left the core regions to establish their own human realms, such as Dachang Kingdom, Blue Water Duchy, etc., which are almost all situated in less resource-rich lands.

Tang Yu's target was not only the Human Race but also groups that share a similar aesthetic to humans, such as the Feather People Clan and the Fox Clan.

After pondering for a moment, "Don't call it 'Immortal Gate', let's call it 'Tao Sect'!"

To be named after the Tao!

The Laws comprehended by a Saint are just singular Laws, such as Burning and Glazed Flame, which are one of the myriad Laws derived from the Fire Original Law.

Only those who have comprehended the Original Law can be said to have stepped onto the Tao.

In Tang Yu's view, among the few Holy Tier individuals in the Mountain and Sea World, there was not a single existence that had touched the Origin Law... Not even a single Law had they truly begun to comprehend or were they yet to begin.

The Emperor of the Sea, who reigned supreme over the Endless Sea, perhaps, had the qualifications to reach the threshold of the Origin Law.

The word 'Tao' hangs high above the ninth heaven.

Untouchable, unreachable.

But to join the Tao Sect is to directly point to the Tao.

Tang Yu wanted to write this in the promotional material, but he was a bit afraid of getting beaten up.

...

Most of the land was uninhabited wilderness.

The few areas rich in Source Qi were either occupied by various ethnic groups or there were some Mutant Beasts lingering.

The locations provided by Zhuang Laifu are all top-grade treasured lands, most of which are famous perilous or forbidden lands.

The speed at which Tang Yu and his two companions flew was dozens of times the speed of sound; the scenery below was left behind in the blink of an eye, and they even utilized Transmission Arrays several times along the way for transferring.

Even so,

it still took more than half a month to travel through more than a dozen locations.

Five of them were occupied by Alien Races, and several had Mutant Beasts of Unity Realm and even Divine Domain Realm stationed there, which is also why these treasured lands had been preserved.

They were now heading to the last location, which was also the one he anticipated the most.

It was quite well-known in the nearby regions.

Celestine Mountain Range, Kowloon Mountain.

From a distance, the mountains rose and fell in layers. Between the peaks flowed nine continuous rivers, resembling nine divine dragons that converged into a mythical mountain.

That mountain was Kowloon Mountain.

Where nine rivers met, there was a deep abyssal pond, seemingly split in two by an arc line; one half dark, the other light.

It was known as Yin-Yang Pond.

This was not only a wondrous pond but also a cultivation treasure land.

The Intelligence Department discovered that the Yin-Yang Pond could condense Source Power and temper the body.

It was not very useful for him, but for those at the Awakening Tier, the benefits of the Yin-Yang Pond were significant, able to accelerate cultivation speed, solidify foundations, and more.

He had already decided to establish the Tao Sect, and would gather the Human Race's talents, so the benefits of this Yin-Yang Pond were not to be underestimated.

Upon Tang Yu's arrival, he saw many figures at the foot of Kowloon Mountain.

There were people from the Human Race, the Beastman Clan, Jade Clan, and other massive groups from the nearby area, as well as some peculiar races he did not recognize.

Gathered here, they formed several small camps.

"Why are there so many people?"

Nancy obviously hadn't read the report.

Eileen explained, "Inside the Yin-Yang Pond, there resides a formidable Mutant Beast. Each year, at the heart of extreme cold, this beast will emerge from the depths of the pond. All forces offer tribute to the beast. Those who satisfy the beast may allow three to five of their outstanding juniors to enter the Yin-Yang Pond for tempering, which is also helpful for their future breakthrough to the Transcendent... It seems that the period of extreme cold for this region is about to arrive, right?"

Eileen was not too sure herself.

The Mountain and Sea World had spring, summer, autumn, and winter as well, but there was no northern or southern hemisphere, so the seasonal changes in different regions could be completely different.

"It's probably about to reach the period of extreme cold."

He looked toward the ground.

Most were juniors at the Awakening Tier, but among them were no lack of Stepping Void Realm, and even a few Unity Realm figures.

— One must not look at the Unity Realm as being lesser than dogs when exploring the Ghostly Sea; even among top forces, the Unity Realm would hold middle to high positions, and for many forces, having a Unity Realm Ancestor was quite significant.

Tang Yu and his two companions floated silently in the sky, where the surrounding space twisted slightly, not attracting the attention of any of the Unity Realm.

He looked towards Kowloon Mountain, his vision penetrating through layers of obstacles, and saw the Yin-Yang Pond within Kowloon Mountain, peering through the water of the pond.

There were no Mutant Beasts throughout Kowloon Mountain, but at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Pond, he sensed a deep and powerful presence.

"It's about to awaken."

Splash—

The pond water boiled.

A surging aura began to spread.

One of the nine rivers outside the mountain thundered with flowing water.

A gigantic fish with dragon whiskers emerged from the wide river surface.

Dragon Fish, the dominant existence within the territory of Kowloon Mountain.

It surveyed its surroundings, its whiskers dancing as it swung them downward.

Many forces in front of Kowloon Mountain had dealt with the Dragon Fish before; a Transcendent from one force stepped forward, taking out a mountain-like heap of treasures from his Space Ring.

These were mostly rare medicinal materials collected from various places, and some were pills refined from them.

"Your Highness Dragon Fish, these are this year's tributes from our Purple Jade Clan."

The Dragon Fish opened its mouth and inhaled; a massive current of water swept the offerings from several kilometers away straight into its mouth.

After a moment,

it seemed very pleased and exhaled, projecting an arrow formed by the currents ahead.

A Transcendent from the Purple Jade Clan bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness Dragon Fish."

The Purple Jade Clan was one of the major clans in this area; they were familiar with what the Dragon Fish required and had prepared many tributes. Immediately, more than a dozen Awakening Tier descendants headed towards the Yin-Yang Pond.

Outside Kowloon Mountain, there were numerous humans from what appeared to be several different forces, but those leading the groups were only Stepping Void.

They did not dare to rush forward.

Tang Yu watched from the side, in no hurry.

Aside from the Purple Jade Clan, typical clans would only receive three to five entry quotas after presenting their tributes.

"Respected Dragon Fish Your Highness, doesn't our clan have five...five quotas?"

A Transcendent, forehead sweating,

stood beside five descendants about to enter Kowloon Mountain. At that moment, they were blocked by a Water Arrow.

"Hu~ Woo~"

The Dragon Fish's eyes bulged; its aura pressed forward, altering the landscape.

The Transcendent no longer dared to speak, for even as the second strongest in his clan, a force to be reckoned with among numerous Alien Races, he felt meek in the presence of His Highness Dragon Fish.

He selected three descendants.

"Looks like it's about time we made our move."

Tang Yu and his two companions revealed their forms, quietly unleashing their auras.

The Dragon Fish, in the midst of reclaiming its tributes, suddenly stopped. This made the next Transcendent in line tense up—could it be that his tributes had not pleased Lord Dragon Fish?

However, the Dragon Fish wasn't looking at him; instead, it gazed up at the sky.

Consequently, the Transcendent looked up as well.

"What fools..."

Sensing the faint but deadly aura emanating from Tang Yu, the Transcendent quickly stifled the nonsense his descendant was about to spout.

The other human forces were also paying attention.

"Those few elders, are they from the Human Race?"

"Unlikely, they seem to be figures even the Dragon Fish is wary of; we've never heard of such powerful individuals among our Human Race."

"Perhaps they belong to a race that just looks similar to our Human Race." The Stepping Void Transcendent spoke with a dim expression.

They saw that the three figures in the sky seemed to disregard the Dragon Fish entirely, heading straight for the peak of Kowloon Mountain.

The male Transcendent in the center waved his hand, and although they perceived nothing, an incredible force seemed to envelop them. Instantly, the peak of Kowloon Mountain was flattened, and a series of palaces and temples appeared at the summit and along the mountainside.

The male Transcendent's hand pressed down,

and Kowloon Mountain immediately roared as it transformed. The mountain near the Yin-Yang Pond stretched to form a canyon that encased the pond.

The side of the mountain facing the Celestine Mountain Range became much smoother, winding from the peak down to the base.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A stone stele hundreds of meters tall rose up, and Tang Yu brought his fingers together like a sword.

Swish! Swish!

In an instant, three characters with a dragon-like flow were carved into the giant stele, exuding a Sword Intent that encompassed nearly ten different Law essences.

Many races, including the Human Race, did not understand the characters.

Yet a single glance made it clear—on the giant stele, the words.

Tao Sect!

Just one look was like seeing an entire ocean of fire, witnessing a moon that could freeze the soul, a colossal tree holding up the Heavenly Dome, and more...

Returning to their senses, whether Transcendent or Awakening Tier, all were profoundly shaken.

Only the dumbstruck Dragon Fish suddenly let out a piercing screech.

What to do when another dominates you?

Eat, eat them up!
