Chapter 265: Exclusive Tier: Steam World Ecology (6K)

Above the Five-Ring Tower.

A not-strong but also not weak "ecological surge" rapidly unfolded.

When the power of the "ecological surge" swept into the Star Sea Blue steam tower ecology.

Ta Ke's "ecology projection", carrying a large amount of the tower's own steam ecological power, quickly merged into this wave of "ecological surge".

Not only Ta Ke.

At this time, the many transcendent beings summoned by Beiwei Si·Tu Wen from this tower level were the same.

They also each wielded their own "ecology projection", bearing a large amount of the tower's steam ecological power, entering the "ecological surge".

And as the ecological surge swept from the top downward.

Within the Star Sea Blue Four-Ring Tower, the fourth, fifth, and sixth tier transcendent beings on each level were also prepared, using their own ecology projections to continuously surge into this wave of ecological surge.

"Make them pay attention to the positions of those Dark Sun Church geniuses."

The Saint Land steam surge ecology's power can pass through wave after wave of ecological surges.

"And the Saint Land world ecology is the power of the magical creature—Lava Furnace Tree Stump Saint Land's own world ecology."

Ta Ke silently reflected.

Earlier, Ta Ke boosted the transcendent talent 【Steam·World·Primordial Spiritual State】 to over 2000%.

Collectives are the essence of ecology.

Not long after.

When they saw it was Ta Ke's ecology projection.

The Dark Sun Tower that Ta Ke struck exploded violently and thunderously from the Dark Sun Altar at its top.

It was still the stationed sheriff.

At this point, the ecological war had been underway for over an hour, and the outermost Dark Sun Tower ecology, under relentless attacks, had begun to wobble on the brink of collapse.

"The outermost ecological defense layer is about to be shattered."

Or those guests passing time inside the hall.

After all, they faced the Saint Land steam ecology's assault head‑on and had to withstand the aftershocks.

Hidden within the ecology, Ta Ke launched a full‑scale attack against the Dark Sun Tower itself that supports the Dark Sun ecology, as well as its top Dark Sun Altar.

"The Dark Sun Tower ecology is a pure ecological invasion—it seeks to devour, pollute, and even warp Saint Land's original world ecology to forge its own Dark Sun ecology."

While the steam ecological surge struck the Dark Sun ecological defense line.

After feeling the concrete damage the ecological war inflicted on the Dark Sun ecology and Dark Sun Tower, Ta Ke steadied his mind and threw himself wholly into the ecological war.

Seated cross‑legged in the magical cottage, Ta Ke's mouth curved into a faint smile.

But Ta Ke had a clear strategic goal.

"Few transcendent beings can wield the 【Saint Land World Ecology】 power."

In contrast, Saint Land's 'Steam Tower Ecology' is far stronger than the Dark Sun ecological defense line.

So much so that Ta Ke's four‑meter‑tall 'ecology projection' face generated a fierce world‑wind vortex.

Ta Ke inhaled deeply, and a fierce light surged within his eyes.

But after countless transcendent beings layered their augmentations, it kept being propelled.

Even the entire Saint Land world trembled slightly.

The steam surge has once again reached the deep underground.

Ta Ke swiftly digested the insights from this wave of ecological surge.

The tower is a candle, the altar a fire, reflecting together with the sky‑dome Dark Sun, forming a Dark Sun ecological cycle.

Previously, Lamor and the Black River Valley were core nexus points of surrounding source energy.

"Steam Tower Ecology is an ecological group built by humanity."

And the Dark Sun ecology's nexus node—the Dark Sun Tower.

With that thought, Ta Ke reconvened his own 'ecology projection'.

The two massive ecological forces thundered together in collision.

"And can permeate every corner of the Saint Land world ecology."

Directly opposite were many strong figures of the Dark Sun Church engaged in ecological confrontation.

However, this time Ta Ke gathered both the 【Steam Tower Ecology】 power and the 【Steam World Ecology】 power.

The Dark Sun ecology attacks the Sairiangs Principality by gradual encroachment.

Now the unworthy Blood Clan has been kicked out.

As a Divine Favored, there are special circumstances, which are entirely reasonable!

"But humanity's Steam Tower Ecology is in a symbiotic, mutually supportive relationship with Saint Land."

Ta Ke clearly sensed the Dark Sun Tower's ecological defense front had weakened.

Ta Ke spread his hands, examining himself.

That is, to break the Dark Sun Tower's ecological defenses, infiltrate deep into the Dark Sun ecology, locate those target geniuses, and slaughter the current third‑ and fourth‑tier top‑tier transcendent geniuses of the Dark Sun Church.

Ecological war!

It was never a war of a single person, but a collective war power gathered from countless transcendent beings.

Even when Ta Ke sat cross‑legged atop Saint Land's highest Four‑Ring Tower, he felt the tower's slight tremor.

"I didn't expect you could already master it now."

"Buzz!"

"The two do not interfere with each other, and both benefit from it."

Fortunately… the ecological war has only just begun!

Above the heavens, the outline of the Dark Sun is clearly visible.

"As the mother source of ecological power, the Creator, the power of 【Steam World Ecology】 will respond to me in every way."

Previously, the Blood Clan's ecology consumed resources, bearing the damage of the preceding ecological war.

"I have already told them before; once they discover it, they will inform you immediately."

Ta Ke can fully cultivate his own main arena with the "World"!

But now!

Ta Ke can clearly feel that his ecological projection can easily drive—and even raise—the ecological tide, and he does so with great ease.

Ta Ke distinctly senses that the destructive power contained in his "Ecological Projection" is rapidly surging.

Conduct a Dark Sun ceremony, praying for the Dark Sun to descend upon the tower, then using its rays to erode, twist, and pollute the existing transcendent ecology, turning the humans around the tower into indifferent tools for offering faith.

Numerous transcendants become part of this wave of ecological tide, and also the drivers of its force.

And it is a 【Steam World Ecology】 main arena exclusive to Ta Ke.

And they cannot sense the power of 【Steam World Ecology】.

Earlier, there were countless Blood Clan bats and Blood Clan steam‑castle ecology resisting ahead.

"Boom…"

Even Beavis Twain standing aside couldn't help but look over.

"Perhaps it's just that the Dark Sun Tower cut corners."

Everyone's ecological projections poured into the ecological tide, launching a new wave of ecological war.

When the residual force of the resistance reached the Saint Land Tower, there was little left.

"This ecological power is the force born from the breaking of barriers between 【Steam Tower Ecology】 and 【Saint Land World Ecology】—【Steam World Ecology】."

"Is this… the power of Saint Land World Ecology?"

The others' "Ecological Projections" merely carry a massive amount of steam source‑energy ecology.

At this moment, suddenly bearing such a powerful ecological force.

If this doesn't shatter, it will surely be discovered.

Perfectly aligning with the operation of the steam ecological war, deeply feeling every detail.

The crowd uses their ecological projections to drive the power of Steam Tower Ecology, continuously advancing toward the depths of Saint Land underground.

Ta Ke immediately manipulates the already‑consolidated "Ecological Projection," again enveloping a massive amount of Steam Tower ecological power, joins the "Ecological Tide," and propels it toward the Dark Sun ecology, launching a second wave of attack.

When Ta Ke pours all the power of his ecological projection into the hardest‑to‑conquer Dark Sun Altar at the summit.

"Splash…"

"Strictly speaking."

Even the underwear was torn apart by Saint Land's ecological force.

"Boom— Boom—"

Accompanied by another wave of ecological tide.

A unilateral slaughter of Dark Sun lifeforms within the Dark Sun ecology—those transcendent beings that grew up inseparably within it.

And the core of all this mutation is— the Dark Sun Tower!

The Dark Sun Tower's cycle also requires source energy.

"At the same time… it also possesses an extremely powerful ecological destructive force."

As the ecological tide sweeps over the underground black‑market district.

"It has already been over an hour, and more than a dozen waves of ecological tide attacks have taken place."

"Boom—boom—..."

Thus, the two frontier transcendent city‑states were brutally ravaged, becoming breeding grounds for the Dark Sun Church's ecology.

For a moment, many puzzled gazes converged.

Saint Land's second ecological war has arrived!

The already overburdened Dark Sun Altar and Tower.

"Understood!"

"Saint Land World Ecology—this is a world‑class ecological power that can only be mastered after the 'Rune World Tower' is constructed and resonates with the world."

Soon, the power of the ecological tide became vast and towering.

As 【Steam World Ecology】 poured into Ta Ke's ecological projection.

Everyone felt a sense of relief.

"Boom…Rong…Rong…"

They all know.

Only through everyone's joint effort can the ecological tide continuously accelerate and converge.

And moreover!

Originally, Ta Ke forcibly used the "World" to consolidate his ecological projection, which could stabilize it.

That led to the Blood Clan castle ecology launched by the Dark Sun Evil God Church a few days ago, a suicidal ecological assault that killed a hundred enemies while losing a thousand of its own.

Ta Ke's "Ecological Projection" stabilized again.

"This wondrous ecological power can also participate in the Steam Tower ecological cycle."

The ecological projections of the many transcendants around Ta Ke, after colliding with opposing ecological forces, held for a few seconds before being torn apart.

Or perhaps the office workers sitting inside the office.

Seeing that the people around showed little astonishment.

Ta Ke continues to absorb and digest the insights from this time mastering the Steam Tower ecology power.

In a sense, this truly is the power of Saintland's world ecology.

And this time, Ta Ke, from the ecological dimension, discovered the greatness of the SSS‑exclusive supernal talent "Steam·World" ability.

"It means I used the Steam·World ability to breach the boundary between the world and steam, creating an entirely new ecological force."

"If we mobilize a massive amount of Saintland's Steam World ecology, a single ecological projection could easily span several hundred meters, perhaps even over a thousand meters in size?"

Don't you all like to invade?

Then I'll kill you into trembling!

When Ta Ke rides the ecological tide, wielding the second wave of Steam Tower ecology power crashing down.

Ta Ke targets a Dark Sun Tower, causing it to shake violently as countless stones atop the tower crumble and fall.

"Buzz!"

But Saintland's ecology here is not weak either.

Beiweis Tu Wen nods.

Many low‑rank corrupted blood tribes, corrupted werewolves, and corrupted human tribes were brutally slaughtered in the first ecological war.

The collapse of this frontline Dark Sun Tower also affected several other Dark Sun Towers linked to its Dark Sun ecology; the outer defenses began to feel precariously unstable.

At this moment, Ta Ke, who has gathered massive Steam Tower ecology and Steam World ecology power, feels completely different from before.

But after stabilizing his absorption rate, Ta Ke continuously controls his own ecological projection, strengthening his deep mastery of the two powers.

Ta Ke and his followers keep waging the ecological tide war.

As everyone gathers the power of the ecological tide, they launch an all‑sided assault.

The Dark Sun ecology also builds its own ecological defenses to resist Saintland's steam ecology assault.

Countless subtle details blossom in Ta Ke's perception, which he swiftly absorbs and masters.

At this moment, Ta Ke's four‑meter‑tall facial projection swirls with steam inside, raging like an ocean.

"And the attacking force doesn't seem very strong either."

The terrifying destructive power of ecological collisions rages in all directions.

In this second ecological war, Ta Ke doesn't know the strategic goals of the tower controllers.

"Later, building Steam Tower ecology will have another powerful method," Ta Ke muses silently.

The ecological tide atop the Five‑Ring Tower sweeps over again.

Everyone can't help but look outward, at the furnace flues, at the surging source steam.

"What we control is the power of Steam Tower ecology."

"It should have held for a while; why did it collapse all of a sudden?"

"But…"

Now it's gone; they have to bear it themselves.

The self‑destruction of the Blood Castle ecology makes the Dark Sun ecology itself become the front line.

In the tower tier region, the combined push of many tower supernal beings drives the ecological tide, causing Saintland to rumble like rolling thunder.

Meanwhile, the high‑ranking strongmen of the Dark Sun Church have no idea what this scene signifies.

While waging the ecological war.

Immediately after, the entire Dark Sun Tower collapses with a thunderous roar amid violent explosions.

Many bishop‑rank strongmen of the Dark Sun Church wear grim expressions.

"Dark Sun ecology," an obviously non‑human‑compatible supernal environment, gradually corrupts believers of Dark Sun into 'Dark Sun Corrupted' adapted to it.

As for Saintland World ecology power, Ta Ke did not gather it.

One side relies on its deep foundation.

"Humans merely built Steam Tower ecology upon Saintland."

But everyone else shattered while Ta Ke remained intact; that's too conspicuous.

The Sairiangs Principality marshaled its forces to construct a Spirit‑realm layer 'Steam Lighthouse' defense.

Just as Ta Ke ponders.

For a moment, regardless of the young fashionable men and women strolling the streets.

Steam ecology, supernal ecology, the ecological tide surges.

Using ecological sight combined with world sight, Ta Ke also sees countless Dark Sun Corrupted inside the tower, bearing damage and emitting cries of agony.

Ta Ke paused.

Through a magical window, he looks at the several Four‑Ring Towers and Five‑Ring Towers outside.

Many nearby people's freshly formed "ecological projections" were somewhat affected.

Unwittingly, more than an hour has already passed.

"Hmm… I guess so!"

Ta Ke smiled, then said.

"In Saintland, there exists an even more wondrous ecological power that no one currently uses."

In the ecological war, once the Dark Sun Tower that supports Dark Sun ecology is toppled.

"Given enough time, I can pull out all the Dark Sun Towers near Saintland."

"Building 'Dark Sun Tower ecology' deep within Saintland's interior for the Dark Sun Church isn't much different."

The Blood Castle ecology, which has drawn power from the Nether Blood Sea, finds itself under attack from all sides.

Amid this fierce onslaught.

And so on!

The power of Steam World Ecology circulates endlessly around Ta Ke.

Since we're looking for someone, we must spread out in more directions, each person attacking a different Dark Sun High Tower outpost, so we can cast a wider net and find the target more effectively.

The previous Steam Ecological Wave slaughtered billions of bats in the underground world, blood rain scattering everywhere.

"This time's ecological war."

Accompanying it, the Dark Sun ecological force boiled and churned violently.

"Indeed, the other Dark Sun High Towers still seem quite resilient; they should hold out for a long time."

An ecological war is a mighty war launched by relying on collective strength.

The Dark Sun Church constructs Dark Sun High Towers.

"After all… this is a powerful ecological force that has evolved from the foundation of Saint Land World Ecology."

As the ecological tide surged, Ta Ke used the World to continuously sense his surroundings.

When first using an "ecological projection" to grasp Steam Tower Ecology and Steam World Ecology, Ta Ke was slightly unaccustomed, which caused a small vortex.

Beweis Tu Wen surveyed Ta Ke's ecological projection from head to toe, unable to hide his admiration, his eyes brimming with envy.

One side relies on the Dark Sun High Tower for defense.

"That's the advantage of the ecological main arena created by Steam·World!"

The strong members of the Dark Sun Church whispered among themselves.

This wave of confrontation does little harm to Saint Land's ecology.

Ta Ke then proactively dispersed his ecological projection.

"Saint Land World Ecology, which possesses the 'Flame Origin' and 'World Traits', is a relatively powerful ecological force."

Riding the ecological tide, the ecological projections of many transcendants surged like tide‑riders of the age, sweeping toward the Dark Sun forces of the underground world.

This forced the Dark Sun Evil God Church to change its strategy, treating the ecological power of the Dark Sun Blood Clan Castle and the hordes of blood‑clan bats as sacrificial pawns.

The Dark Sun Church members inside, who had thought they could hold out for a while, were buried alive on the spot.

Very quickly!

The crowd became like wave‑chasers pursuing the tide!

The "Ecological Tide" power emanating from the Five‑Ring Tower itself is not particularly strong.

Originally, Dark Sun ecology used the Blood Clan Castle and the Nether Blood Sea's ecology to counter Dark Sun ecology.

Only then could they better construct their own Steam Wizard Sequence Ecology.

The aftershocks of the ecological collision reverberated continuously, like an earthquake.

"Boom—..."

For a moment.

But for those Dark Sun High Towers of the Dark Sun Church, and the transcendants defending the Dark Sun High Tower ecology, it may not be the case.

Yet during the first ecological war.

Ecology has never been an individual matter.

Since we're all going to die anyway, it might as well be a clean death.

"But…"

To conduct a high‑intensity ecological war and resist the Dark Sun ecology's assault on Lamor Tower ecology.

"Steam Tower Ecology is the ecological force controlled by the vast majority of transcendants."

Ta Ke, Beweis Tu Wen, and the others, riding the ecological tide, scattered quickly.

The advantageous wave struck with a violent impact like an earthquake.

Using the spark of Steam·World, they ignited the world with steam.

"This is the basic rule of ecological circulation."

After Ta Ke steadied himself a bit, he continued to strengthen both Steam Tower Ecology and Steam World Ecology.

Ta Ke's "ecological projection" seemed to bear an immense Steam World within it.

"We transcendants live inside the tower; our own meditation cultivation and sequence energy cycles already interact with the tower's steam source‑energy ecology."

"Thus we easily resonate with the Steam Tower ecology, allowing us to harness massive Steam Tower ecological power for offense."

Steam World Ecology no longer exerts a noticeable effect on the surrounding world as it once did.

However, Ta Ke alone cannot noticeably drive the ecological tide.

All transcendants within the Star Sea Blue·Four Ring Tower who can condense a transcendent state, or possess a pseudo‑transcendent state, joined this wave of the ecological tide.

Wave after wave.

At this moment, the Steam Lighthouse defense layer provided massive buffering and resistance against the ecological war's clashes and the dissipating aftershocks.

Ta Ke sensed the deep‑seated Dark Sun power underground.

"Above Steam Tower Ecology lies a stronger ecological force—Saint Land World Ecology."

Although the golden light shining from meditative stars is far weaker than the Dark Sun silhouette, at least there is some support from the heavens, which is better than none.

Even the ecological power of the guided Nether Blood Sea has been largely destroyed by Saint Land.

Many strong eyes from both sides focused on the ecology of this region.

Ta Ke thought for a moment and nodded.

"The destructive power when Steam Tower Ecology and Steam World Ecology combine is terrifyingly formidable."

Earlier, Ta Ke had also tried using his ecological projection to drive the ecological tide of this area.

"I haven't yet gathered much Steam Tower Ecology and Steam World Ecology power."

Facing the partial collapse of the Dark Sun ecological defense line.

And now, Ta Ke, having unleashed all his power, also dispersed his ecological projection.

Deep underground, like an earthquake, there was a violent eruption with a booming rumble.

It is estimated that they saw the blood clan castle's ecology consuming vast resources, yet possessing no combat strength at all.

Basically, only those of the fourth ring, and the top-tier transcendents of the fifth ring, can grasp a little of the 【Saint Roland World Ecology】 power.

Once the 【Saint Roland World Ecology】 is gathered, the strong ones of the fourth ring and fifth-ring high towers nearby will definitely be able to feel it.

For now, that's how it looks.

Now it's the turn of these herders' dark-day fallen to bear the damage inside the high tower.

They came into contact with the power of the 【World】 stratum, and also received feedback from the 【World】's origin characteristics.

Ta Ke took a deep breath, and the fierce light in his eyes gradually retracted.

Keep pushing the tower!

Today, I will make them feel the despair of being unable to defend even their homes!
