happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Tao Nai Xiang or the hundreds of thousands of subordinates in Liu Ying City, all were stunned and bewildered at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, they looked up toward the source of the sound, staring at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was, as always, shrouded in thick, grey clouds, oppressive as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s broken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone on the walls of Liu Ying City screamed at the top of their lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy cloud layer had been pierced by something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth-shattering noise was unending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds rolled and surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Liu Ying City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts that had been poised to attack the city had actually halted their actions at this moment, instinctively staring at the sky in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their instincts told them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something terrifying was descending from above!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzzz——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the clouds, columns of blue-white light burst out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beams were more than ten thousand meters thick, each radiating an incredibly intense energy aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang, the Tier Five City Lord of Liu Ying City, felt her scalp go numb just seeing it from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those energy beams...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a single breath was enough to turn her into nothingness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, not just her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the entirety of Liu Ying City, if struck by those blue-white beams, would surely be annihilated in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang couldn’t help but swallow hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dazzling peach blossom petals swirling around her withered and faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to slow to an unbearable crawl in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe only a few breaths, maybe as long as a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, in the clouds, an enormous outline appeared—too massive to put into words—a phantom of colossal size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow it cast nearly enveloped the entire A409 Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Liu Ying City lay right at the center of this shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous roar, that massive object slowly descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It completely burst through the clouds, hovering thousands of meters above the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-white streams of energy erupting from beneath it faded quietly, though it was unclear when.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang finally saw the thing’s true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A

rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a moment later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzzzz——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky City suddenly gave a gentle tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue light flashed above the Wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light faded, there were already tens of thousands of figures floating midair in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang almost pissed herself out of fear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those figures, there were over a hundred thousand of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And floating in midair—this was the mark of a Tier Five Evolver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering in the sky right now were more than a hundred thousand Tier Five Evolvers or higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang stared at the leading figures in the front row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura they gave off was definitely more than just Tier Five or Tier Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every breath, it felt as if even heaven and earth pulsed along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier Seven, Tier Eight, Tier Nine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Nai Xiang dared not let herself think any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this moment, she even forgot Liu Ying City was in the midst of a mutant beast siege crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind went completely blank—she wasn’t thinking at all, just looking up at the sky out of sheer bodily instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those in the sky, the slender figure at the very front raised a hand and pointed downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzzzt——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spatial ripple spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundreds of thousands of beasts outside Liu Ying City vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They transformed into streaks and black pixels on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash-crash——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Liu Ying City, a brilliant rain of crystals began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh-whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of cutting wind snapped Tao Nai Xiang back to reality from her dazed, crashed-brain state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figures appeared before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front stood a young-looking man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to get some information about this planet from Tao Nai

kowtow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin and those behind him fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier Nine City

seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neil and Naiya stood to his left and right, massaging his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below him, Tao Nai Xiang was sprawled prone on the ground, butt raised high in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin thought the pose looked a bit indecent, but Tao Nai Xiang insisted that this was the highest show of respect in their civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Yu Jin was digesting the information he got from Tao Nai Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The A4 Planet, overall, wasn’t much different from the A3 Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same system of Refuge Cities, the same Evolver tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pollution level on this planet seemed just a bit lower than that of A3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There existed here a legendary, unimaginably powerful Level 9 Shelter City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its City Lord was also the only Tier Nine Evolver on this planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Tao Nai Xiang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That City Lord had dominated the A4 Planet for decades; his individual legend and the legend of his city were already well-known throughout the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that piqued Yu Jin’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Area? Location? Name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin fired off three questions, leaving Tao Nai Xiang momentarily dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what this mysterious ’alien’ wanted, but her gut feeling told her that even that legendary Level 9 Shelter City was nowhere near as mysterious or powerful as the Sky City she had just seen with her own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A480 Area, central region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial King City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for that Tier Nine City Lord’s name, your servant truly does not know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only know his code name: Invincible Celestial King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin raised his eyebrows at this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invincible Celestial King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he for real with such a cheesy name?
