Chapter 262: Capture the Demon Spider Lord, Strong Ones Assassinate!

Star Sea Blue Tower, 76 floors.

The Dark Sun Crowned Grand Archbishop is repairing the damage to the meditative star sequence ecology here.

Thanks to the ancient Star Meditation Book being firmly anchored here, maintaining the ecological cycle of meditative stars, restoration is only a matter of time.

Now, the ancient meditative stars hang steadily over Shenglande's sky.

A large number of students from the Tower District's Extraordinary Academy, as well as tower apprentices, have all joined the star meditation system.

Thus, imperceptibly strengthening the cycle of the ancient Steam Meditative Star ecology.

It is said that many extraordinaires living in Treeheart City, to meditate better, have moved to the Tower District to rent houses.

During this period, rent prices in Shenglande's High Tower District have been climbing rapidly.

At this moment.

"Since that's the case, I will lead a group of spellcasters here later; when the ecological war erupts, we will gather the ecological forces they control and go find those geniuses together."

That can be entirely regarded as part of Ta Ke's wandering outside.

"Strike retaliation within the ecology! You have such powerful means—shall I help?"

"I have mastered some special powers; I intend to use them to exact some retaliation and strike against those Dark Sun Church geniuses."

The Soul Curtain Shadow 'Ta Ke' rode up directly.

Even though Ta Ke observes the outside world in the form of a Soul Curtain Shadow, his perception is still slightly distorted by the Dark Sun ecological curse.

The massive Shadow Demon Spider Lord shattered like a bubble with a pop, vanishing completely.

"At the same time, the inherent Dark Sun ecological curse serves as an excellent window for enemies to observe me; it lies entirely within my perception blind spot."

The next moment, intense pain and tearing sensations blossomed simultaneously from every corner of the Soul Curtain Shadow.

"After all, present-day Shenglande is in the spirit realm layer, and the Dark Sun outline upheld by the Dark Sun ecology still hangs high in the heavens."

Some seemingly unremarkable shadow creatures, affected by this bizarre void phenomenon, became 'brave' and bared fangs toward Ta Ke.

"You... you aren't planning something else again, are you!"

The towering man examined his own pale palms with a pair of bright blood‑red eyes.

There lies the lair of the Shadow Demon Spider Lord.

A modest, yet thunderous gasp sounded abruptly beside the Soul Curtain Shadow's ear.

"Aren't we supposed to commence the ecological war next?"

Ta Ke thought for a moment and nodded.

If he does not use the Soul Curtain Shadow, then inside the magical cottage or within the Forbidden Curtain Stage where Ta Ke currently stands, he would not be distorted by external Dark Sun ecological forces.

"The spirit realm can be projected into reality."

The Soul Curtain Shadow examined the charging Shadow Demon Spider Lord.

A rapid, grating shadow screech rippled through the shadow dimension, creating shadow ripple waves dozens of meters high.

Bei Wei Si Tu Wen transformed into a shadow and swiftly departed.

"But retaliation must first locate them, and I don't know them well."

Moreover, the danger was sensed—or even seen—by Ta Ke himself.

This time it still dared to come.

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

After thinking, Ta Ke continued.

Helping Ta Ke better accomplish his plan, which is also one of his main duties while stationed here.

Shadow Layer Realm.

Ta Ke turned around, looking at the outside 'world' through the power reinforced by the Great Barrier.

"So... we can only obtain intelligence from the Church side."

The Ta Ke that emerged this time is merely Ta Ke's Soul Curtain Shadow.

Last time, it was this Shadow Flame Demon Wolf that came to lure it away, causing the spider crystals in the lair to be stolen by shameless thieves.

The entire shadow nest quivered violently, causing the surrounding world to shake as well.

After pondering, Ta Ke added.

"My concealment ability exceeds your imagination."

As Ta Ke approached.

"Additionally... the intelligence you need, I will fetch swiftly."

"The second layer is the Great Barrier I constructed."

Although Ta Ke's real‑world vision is severely affected by the shadow dimension.

Guarding the 76th floor is Bei Wei Si Tu Wen.

"What a pity..."

"The fourth layer is the 'Forbidden Curtain Stage' personally built by the Dark Sun Grand Archbishop."

At the same time.

"Huh?"

The towering, powerfully graceful, pale‑skinned man extended his long hands, feeling around the shadow powder formed from the Soul Curtain Shadow and the demon wolf for a moment, but found nothing useful.

"The first layer, also the outermost, is the tower itself."

The two scenes intertwined completely within Ta Ke's field of view.

Ta Ke spread his hands and said calmly.

At this moment, the power of the four-star-level sorcery 'Soul Curtain Shadow' manifested.

But the implications behind this bizarre void phenomenon are truly thought‑provoking.

"In fact, I do indeed need a certain amount of manpower; I need you to help me find people."

The aura of the Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf was discovered by the Shadow Spider Lord.

"When the ecological war breaks out, I need you to help me locate the exact positions of those geniuses from the Dark Sun Church."

At this moment, it is precisely by relying on the "Soul Curtain" that Ta Ke's capital and confidence, while wandering outside, were upheld before the turmoil of Saint Land swept in.

Inside the Forbidden Curtain Stage, Ta Ke swiftly inserted four fragments into the stage.

Wherever his gaze reaches, he can use the Forbidden Curtain Stage to insert and retrieve fragments of the forbidden rule.

He doesn't even need Ta Ke to launch an active attack.

Or perhaps a more terrifying force is lurking in the shadows, awaiting Ta Ke's appearance?

Although the Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf trembled with fear, it mustered ferocious courage and let out a low, snarling roar toward the spider lord many times its size.

The Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf leader, with Ta Ke, plunged into a dim corner, stirring layers of shadow ripples.

"The ecological power here is dense; I can only grasp a portion, but you can fully help me find people later."

He slowly withdrew his gaze from the bizarre, strange void scene outside.

The outline of the Shadow Spider Lord swiftly enveloped, wrapped, and intersected within Ta Ke's pupils.

Ta Ke's words caused Beiweis Tu Wen's eyebrows to lift slightly.

"He's only at the third tier, not even the fourth."

"Bang!"

Ta Ke looked toward the corner.

Within a mass of shadow in the corner, the Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf leader swiftly materialized.

Following the principle, "Whoever wants to face this danger, face it; I certainly won't."

At this moment, Ta Ke silently sensed something.

Having nothing left to lose, the Shadow Spider Lord immediately charged wildly toward Ta Ke and the Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf leader.

At this very moment, Ta Ke's own body hadn't even manifested.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke glanced toward the distant light‑shadow boundary of Saint Land's outer layer realm.

That is also the main objective of Ta Ke's journey.

At the edges of Ta Ke's vision, the shadow's power continuously seeped, twisted, and kept extracting the colorful threads of his normal sight.

"If possible... you can recruit more manpower, preferably spellcasters, and gather at the top of the Four‑Ring High Tower during the ecological war."

The events Ta Ke has been creating in Saint Land, which completely altered its historical course, have already made Beiweis unconditionally trust Ta Ke's actions.

"As long as I hide deep enough, you won't find me."

"The third layer is my wondrous little house with a sealed barrier."

"After the last raid didn't kill me, now... are you attacking me again?"

"Finding people?"

Staring at the Shadow Spider Lord, which surged forward like an armored tank in fury.

The weather should have been tranquil, natural, even quite clear.

The shadow ground of the Shadow Realm rumbled under the spider lord's impact.

"Not only did it snatch the spider lord directly, but it also fled cleanly, leaving nothing behind."

"This is official business, not a personal need."

"What do you want with the specific name‑list information of those genius transcendents from the Dark Sun Evil God Church? And you also insist on their exact magical projections for detailed identification."

The fourth‑tier Soul Curtain was meticulously fractured in every direction on an extremely fine level.

Even the Shadow‑Flame Demon Wolf that had followed Ta Ke for a long time could not escape fate; under this horrific method, it too was torn into fine shadow fragments, even powder.

Ta Ke, however, saw a heavy leaden cloud pressing down, and could faintly hear the wailing of the surf.

Or... are there other dangers lurking in the shadows, coveting Saint Land?

Moreover, it was affected by an indescribable "Void Phenomenon Omen."

"Yes!"

The Soul Curtain and the demon wolf were instantly annihilated.

After a moment of thought, Beiweis Tu Wen nodded.

Fortunately, Ta Ke possesses many visual dimensions; Precise Vision, Phase Vision, and World Vision are all top‑tier miraculous abilities, so the extraction of real‑world colors by shadow is no big deal.

At the moment the Shadow Spider Lord was about to mount Ta Ke.

There is a potential danger.

"If there are enemies secretly watching me, they will certainly observe me within the Dark Sun ecological dimension."

"Just as Mi Xie Er said, this kid... is quite resourceful and powerful."

But if they dare bare their fangs, they will be instantly devoured by the Shadow Wolf.

"Sss…"

"If I find them, I can use my methods to strike them."

"If I can't find them, there's nothing I can do."

After hearing Ta Ke's exposition, Beiweis Tu Wen surveyed Ta Ke from head to toe and said softly.

What is an impenetrable barrier to others is naturally no obstacle for Ta Ke.

Is this the looming gloom of heavy war damage that the upcoming battle will bring to Saint Land?

On the wasteland, the Shadow Wolf, with Soul Curtain Ta Ke, rapidly approached the Shadow Spider Lord's lair.

"It seems to have guessed that someone was secretly spying on it, and even... it prepared for that!"

"Indeed, it's a very troublesome fellow."

So… it must be eliminated!
