Chapter 474: with translation of chapter title

The Legendary Knight of the mountain range, Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun, probably lacks the ability to teleport over ultra-long distances.

The ecosystem of the Legendary Knight sequence also does not support knights having this type of ability.

Once the Aobeilong Demigod Realm erupts in large-scale war, any support it provides will necessarily pass through this spiritual realm layer channel here.

This channel has accumulated many traces of Legendary passage, and moreover has a rich context of spatial transmission; it is the only channel with Legendary characteristics that I have groped out from within that Legendary realm, leading to the Aobeilong Demigod Realm.

Here, just prepare the means to intercept Legendary beings.

Here, whether it's the distance to Fuluola·Cosmic Mountain Range or the distance to the Aobeilong Demigod Realm, it's very far—a place belonging to the middle of nowhere, with no village ahead and no shop behind.

Here, setting an ambush, that mountain range Legendary Knight Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun has neither the home-field advantage of the Legendary World Tree ecology, nor can he easily escape.

Ta Ke's train of thought paused.

The only thing to worry about is that, according to the data, this mountain range Legendary Knight Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun is a veteran knight who has lived for over fifteen thousand years.

His battles, deeds, and past experiences are so numerous that several books cannot record them all.

Such an old fellow surely possesses many treasure means; this battle, I fear, will not be easy to win.

Fortunately……the God Realm offensive-defensive war cannot be finished in just a day or two.

Just slowly contend with this old fellow.

After preparing the interception of spacetime coordinates, Ta Ke found a tranquil spiritual realm layer in this area and directly dove into it.

That mountain range Legendary Knight Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun possesses a Legendary World Tree ecology realm with a height of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Ta Ke conducted a silent investigation.

Mid-level Legendary!

An ecology realm with a certain degree of demigod faith.

After confirming that place is not something a petty quasi-Legendary wizard like myself could conquer.

Only then did Ta Ke choose the mid-way interception combat strategy.

He entered his own steam wonder cottage.

Ta Ke began to steady his mind and carry out the dual-threaded operation of comprehending the "Chaos Rune Arcana" and practicing the "Chaos·Cosmic Star Phase".

The Chaos Rune Arcana, needless to say.

This is the key threshold for achieving Legendary status and becoming a god.

If one's comprehension of the Chaos Rune Arcana falls short, there is basically no possibility of advancing to Master, Legendary, Demigod, etc.

A sufficiently high comprehension of the Chaos Rune Arcana forms a cyclic state.

It can make one's forbidden spells and divine spells' power become immensely strong.

This is not only clear to Ta Ke, but all transcendent beings, even spirits, understand it.

But comprehending the Chaos Rune Arcana requires spending time to gradually advance; it's impossible to gulp it down like a fat kid.

Ta Ke is no different.

Nowadays, the vast majority of cultivation time is spent on comprehending the Chaos Rune Arcana.

The hope is to make one's progress in comprehending the Chaos Rune Arcana a bit faster.

Likewise!

Ta Ke's divine-level talent-supported Master 153-times Star Phase Body's Star Phase Body is also one of Ta Ke's current capitals for being able to oppose Legendary powerhouses.

As the Legendary sequence seed is established, the 153-times Star Phase Body also undergoes a proportional increase.

The Master state's own resilience and defensive capabilities are rapidly increasing.

Even the star-crystal wall characteristics of the Master state can't keep up.

It's about time to retrieve some God Realm crystal wall characteristics from the Great Bulwark again.

After making preparations, Ta Ke skillfully took out a small metal altar.

As Ta Ke chanted the prayer incantation, not long after, the majestic and vast outline of the Great Bulwark gradually emerged in the altar's flames.

Observing the outline of the Great Bulwark in the altar's flames, Ta Ke furrowed his brows.

Immediately thereafter, Ta Ke turned his gaze toward the depths of the Flora Cosmic Mountain Range.

The context of communication with the altar does not lead to nothingness, but……leads to the depths of the Flora Cosmic Mountain Range.

That is to say, deep within the vine-choked forest of the Flora Cosmic Mountain Range lies a Great Bulwark.

The legendary Great Bulwark is none other than the God Realm Bulwark, and the origin state of all world bulwarks.

Followers of the Great Bulwark are few and far between; I……count as half, I guess! Well……a half pseudo-believer!

If I have time, I could trace back the origin state of the Great Bulwark, which might possibly help me.

Ta Ke muttered to himself.

As the ritual operated.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle……

A large amount of God Realm bulwark characteristics, like rainwater, nourish Ta Ke's Star Phase Body's 'star-crystal wall'.

Hiss hiss hiss……

During the tempering of the Star Phase Body, Ta Ke's Master-state defense is rapidly surging.

Compared to when I first began stockpiling in the Great Bulwark, this God Realm bulwark characteristic is obviously much less.

No wonder the Great Bulwark has few followers; the bulwark characteristics hoarded here have been eaten up by you—who would still want to believe in you?

Although Ta Ke secretly disparaged it with two remarks, when he needs to use the Great Bulwark later, he still has to use it.

In continually enhancing the strong defense of the star-crystal wall.

Before one knew it, more than four months of time flew by.

…………

Just another ordinary day of steady cultivation.

"Buzz—"

Immersed in the wondrous state of the star-phase crystal wall, Ta Ke was interrupted by the violent tremor of the mechanical tech bracelet.

The mechanical tech bracelet not only buzzed and trembled, but also emitted a piercing alarm and a blood-red flash symbolizing the highest danger level.

Ta Ke opened the mechanical tech bracelet, after some operation, he cleared the alarm and also saw a message sent from Phil·Col and Demigod Lord Qietor Lai.

"The divine nation's invasion plan—has it finally begun?"

Ta Ke took a deep breath and looked toward the distant direction of the Oberon demigod nation.

However, this place is too far from there; Ta Ke simply cannot see the specific situation there.

Since the battle has broken out.

Then the divine nation's offensive-defensive battle will surely be spectacular.

"In the past, it was always the Green Star Tribe attacking us, even taking the initiative solely for our divine nation."

"This time, it's surprisingly a rare counterattack by the divine nation against the Green Star Tribe."

"It's a pity I'm still too weak now; if I become a demigod in the future, one-on-one, I could easily push back the Green Star Tribe's demigod nation."

After a moment of scrutiny, Ta Ke withdrew his gaze and focused his mind entirely on the teleportation conduit that the legendary mountain knight Barlo·Sackston would have to pass through.

Since the war in the Oberon divine nation has started.

It won't be long before the legendary powerhouse here, the mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston, will certainly go to support.

Ta Ke lightly clenched his fist, and the steam-light feather blade with a wingspan over a hundred meters rapidly unfurled.

"Woo—"

The steam source energy, like a tide, began to spread throughout the surrounding world.

About half an hour later.

In the depths of the spirit-world teleportation passage, Ta Ke felt an extremely terrifying legendary power approaching.

"Here it comes!"

Anchoring that transmission layer, Ta Ke directly cut off the transmission passage.

As that transmission power reached the severed area.

"Rumble—"

A terrifying huge explosion instantly spread and bloomed.

Spanning hundreds of kilometers, layers of terrifying spatial ripples undulated.

In the core area of the spatial explosion, moreover, vast swaths of the reality layer collapsed, revealing a dark, profound deep-space layer.

"Exhale… inhale…"

In the huge spatial explosion, a heavy breathing sound like a volcanic eruption rose.

Immediately after, a huge, burly mountain knight of a stature fully two hundred meters tall.

Like a building, a huge hand protruded directly from the descending deep-space layer.

"Crack—"

The huge hand gripped onto the reality layer.

The position where its huge hand fell, the reality layer quickly stabilized.

The mountain knight's power can have the effect of solidifying reality.

Then this green-skinned burly mountain knight, with a nimble flip, fell from the shattered spirit-layer into the dimension of the deep-space layer, entering the reality layer.

The towering, burly outline of the mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston stood in the reality layer like a mountain, pressing everything around into firm stability.

Behind him lay the shattered endless deep space.

Even Ta Ke, such a top-tier Chao Shen Da Shi, let alone when facing this powerful legendary powerhouse before him.

That also requires vigilance, lest one become lost in the endless deep-space layer.

The mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston, whose transmission had been interrupted, furrowed his brows slightly.

He glanced toward the distant direction of the Oberon demigod nation.

Immediately, he looked around.

Doubtfully, he turned his gaze to the nearby 'Ta Ke', a weak quasi-legendary flesh-and-blood creature.

"Just now? Was it you who did that?"

The voice of the mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston, amidst the tremor of source energy, was like thunder.

Yet his tone was unusually calm.

"Yes!" Ta Ke nodded indifferently.

"Then why didn't you run? Do you think I'm a knight class and can't catch up to a caster like you?"

"Or rather..."

In Barlo·Sackston's pupils, Ta Ke's silhouette appeared.

"Do you think your level 199 quasi-legendary class can oppose me?"

As a middle-ranking knight who has lived over ten thousand years, even retaining the aura of divine fire on his body.

Facing a mere upper-tier Chao Shen Da Shi who isn't even of legendary class.

The mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston really couldn't find any reason to worry.

However, even so, the mountain legendary knight Barlo·Sackston still maintained due vigilance.

Gazing at the silhouette of the night‑curtain starlight.

Suddenly, Barlo·Sackston's pupils contracted slightly.

"I seem to have seen you in some data..."

"Right!"

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun suddenly slaps his head.

"You are… the Nightfall Giant 【Xue Bairun】."

Ta Ke: "…"

"No wonder you're a veteran knight who has lived fifteen thousand years; that memory is indeed remarkable."

Ta Ke does not intend to correct this "mistake".

"The Starlight Giant Clan's super celestial caster—Xue Bairun?"

"With the old knight saying that, I actually do resemble that guy a bit."

Deep within the Cosmic Mountain Range, Ta Ke has encountered several strong individuals, among them some Sequence Preachers of the Starlight Giant Clan.

Regarding the legendary knight's mention of the "Nightfall Giant Xue Bairun," Ta Ke naturally learned some information.

He is also a 199‑level quasi‑legendary strongman, a top‑tier genius within the Giant Realm.

The Green Star Tribe killed between eight hundred and a thousand.

More importantly, this Nightfall Giant possesses a giant silhouette of shadowy starlight.

He also masters many powerful Celestial Divine Spells.

He is a top Starlight Giant that the Green Star Tribe is eager to eliminate.

"It's just… the size doesn't quite match."

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si mutters, seeming to ponder seriously.

At that moment, the old knight suddenly leapt, covering over three hundred kilometers in an instant.

Brandishing that divine war shield, he rushed straight at Ta Ke's face, leaving no trace of his earlier contemplation.

This old fellow is more cunning than Ta Ke imagined.

The war shield comes straight at him, imbued with a certain Shield Strike trait; if Ta Ke gets hit, it will be unbearable.

"Kid, die for me!"

The roar of Source Energy is laced with the Sequence Shock Deterrence trait.

It's not only an ambush, but also a double‑pronged strike.

A "Clang!"

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun crashes head‑first.

"Hahaha… kid, I've caught you."

The old knight's half‑god greatsword slashes down fiercely.

The holy sword slices through the void.

"Clang!"

A radiant, starlit silhouette before the half‑artifact war shield raises the shield and blocks the strike.

"Hm?"

Using Shield Vision.

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun sees, in front of his half‑artifact war shield, five radiant small giants, each about 190‑plus level and over fifty meters tall.

These small giants blocked Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun's over‑two‑hundred‑meter half‑artifact war shield ambush, and also intercepted his holy‑sword attack.

Although the small giant that blocked his sword was knocked back over a thousand meters, its master‑state scattered, it still managed to block his legendary knight's strike.

"What the hell are these things?"

Just as Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun was puzzled,

the five radiant small giants surrounded Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun.

Some attack with weapons, some with war shields, and some simply rely on their massive fists.

Boom—boom—boom…

Various attacks continuously rain down on Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun.

The erupting Source‑Energy waves also carry fluctuations of Legendary State, and even of a certain Legendary Sequence.

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun's expression suddenly changes.

"Roar!"

The roar spreads out like a muffled thunder in the cosmos.

Visibly, spatial fluctuations ripple outward.

Legendary traits of Confinement and Deterrence are forcefully injected into these steam constellation bodies.

The steam constellation masters attacking Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun are each, for a moment, trapped in the void.

With a grim expression, Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun retreats while swiftly probing that guy's location.

Those 'Starlight Giant Puppets' may look unimpressive, but their attacks are highly deterrent.

Even though Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun wears half‑god battle armor, when these Starlight Giant Puppets hit him, part of the damage still seeps directly into his Legendary State and Legendary Sequence.

Puppet creatures of a high‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi, which should not break defense, nevertheless inflicted slight damage on a respectable mid‑tier Legendary Knight.

This is what astonishes Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun.

While pulling the distance, Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun's pupils flash with fierce light.

"Indeed, the methods are formidable; no wonder they're the top talent our Green Star Tribe's expansion corps wants to eliminate."

"That kid should be in the steam gray mist over there; shall we go?"

"However, that guy is a top quasi‑legendary wizard who wields Celestial Divine Spells, and also the chief creator of the steam sequence in the ruined world our tribe is attacking."

"If we go, we might get hit by the divine spell."

Yes!

Ba Luo·Sa Ke Si Dun knows Ta Ke's identity completely.

He deliberately misstated the opponent's identity, disturbed their thoughts, then feigned a sneak attack.

But that mage was obviously also well prepared; his little tricks weren't very effective.

Instead, he was caught by those Steam Star Aspect Puppets and beaten.

Just as Baló Sākèsītùn hesitated slightly.

Those controlled Steam Star Aspect Bodies each broke free of the strong control.

One after another, like meteors, they rushed to chase and kill Baló Sākèsītùn.

"What great speed!"

Seeing that speed far surpassing his own, Baló Sākèsītùn's face sank again.

"First kill these puppets, then look for a chance to finish off that guy."

"Hmph! The Legendary Knight known as 'Baló Lǎoye' in the depths of the Cosmic Mountain Range is not something those battlefield cannon-fodder Legends can match, nor can you, a puny Quasi-Legendary Wizard, touch."

"Whoever dares to provoke me, Baló Sākèsītùn, today is your day of death!"

He suddenly gripped the Holy Sword.

Boom—...

Upon the Holy Sword, scorching annihilating green light spread and blossomed, as if substantive.

One sharp slash came down.

The leading Steam Star Aspect Master raised his blade to block.

"Clang!"

As the weapons collided,

The green light sparkled like fireworks, blossoming gorgeously.

And the exploding green-star fireworks, pulled by mysterious force, swiftly gathered onto the Steam Star Aspect Master.

Upon contact!

Hiss—...

The terrifying green-star corrosive power radiated and burst forth rapidly upon the Steam Star Aspect Master's Aspect Master state.

Though its defensive power was extremely strong and its Master state highly resilient, the Steam Star Aspect Master's Master state was visibly eroded away.

The other few Steam Star Aspect Masters also came chasing and killing him one after another.

The Legendary Knight, Baló Sākèsītùn, struck down with one sword after another.

The terrifying green corrosive power instantly disposed of those five high-ranking Steam Star Aspect Puppets, each over level 190 and possessing fifty times the Aspect Body, leaving nothing.

The Steam Star Aspect Masters had always been invincible.

In the hands of this veteran old Legendary Knight, their efforts were futile!

The surging depths of steam source energy.

Watching the annihilated Steam Star Aspect Masters, Tǎkè's face remained calm as an ancient well.

Even if the methods were restrained and destroyed, as long as one played the opponent's certain trump card, it was an effective attack.

"The annihilating power of the green-star clan is astonishingly strong, and… it even carries a hint of divine nature."

"Anyone able to live this long must have undergone the tempering of divine fire, and not just once."

"This annihilating green-star power imbued with divine nature—if it hits you… even if you don't die, you'll shed a layer of skin."

In his thoughts, Tǎkè seemed to sense something.

Silently, Tǎkè's body withdrew slightly backward.

A star-aspect projection nearly identical to Tǎkè's bodily outline perfectly appeared in place.

And this star-aspect projection lightly clenched a fist.

"Hum—..."

The Demigod Artifact Ring of Forgetting faintly blossomed open.

Just as the star-aspect projection had just activated the power of the demigod artifact,

"Hum!"

A burly figure, seemingly following the nature of some special power, leapt directly before Tǎkè.

It was none other than the Legendary Mountain Range Knight, "Baló Sākèsītùn".

This old Legendary Knight's agile rushing methods were not only extremely mysterious but also seemed numerous.

"Kid, I've found you—you can't escape!"

The Battle Shield slammed down, pressing like a heavenly canopy with a booming roar.

Even the extremely agile Star Aspect Projection found it somewhat difficult to evade at this point.
