Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1266: Taller Than The Sky

Thousands of gray threads swam and flew, forming a gray-white circular barrier that enveloped Alan. Under the dark golden light pillar that was a hundred meters in diameter, Alan turned into an inconspicuous little gray dot. However, when he hit the light pillar, the light pillar that seemed to never stop for anything was blocked by him. As the countless gray lines flew over the dark golden light pillar, a trace of energy would be scraped off the light pillar. As the countless gray lines flew, the energy of the light pillar was constantly being separated and weakened.

The clouds and winds in the sky had long since changed color. Under the collision of two enormous forces, chaotic energy jets scattered everywhere, turning the space in kilometers into a forbidden zone. The clouds were crushed, and the Origin Energy became incomparably chaotic. If any life entered this region at this moment, it would definitely be crushed in an instant!

At this moment, Alan could no longer see that woman. All he could see was the dark golden Origin Energy surging in like a torrent. He didn't know the nature of a woman's Origin Energy, but Alan was sure that it was definitely not under the Void Heavenly Flame. Otherwise, it would have long dissipated under the White Emperor Sword's repeated divisions. However, at this moment, the pillar of light was only weakened, but it had not yet reached the point of collapse. Alan narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to press forward, resisting the terrifying impact of the pillar of light. Only he could do this. If it was a second-tier expert, not to mention carrying the impact of the pillar of light with one hand, even his hands would be unable to do so.

The empty hand slowly retracted, and Alan's eyes turned white as he spat out the secret flames of the void. He shouted, his voice extremely penetrating, instantly traveling thousands of miles away. Before the final sound disappeared, he punched out and passed through the gray-white barrier of the White Emperor Sword, landing on the dark golden Origin Energy. The tip of the fist emitted a ring of gray flame light, which spread out like a ring, growing larger and larger until it was a hundred meters long and wide before dissipating into the air.

The dark golden pillar of light twisted violently, and an invisible force pushed the surging flood tide of Origin Energy back against the current. As a result, the originally straight dark golden pillar of light arched in the middle, and the front of the flood tide kept moving away from Allen. After it retreated a hundred meters, Allen removed the barrier of the White Emperor Sword and stretched out a finger.

Blue flames burned on his fingertips.

Alan drew a circle with his fingers. The void flames drew a circle of grey lines in the air. When the grey lines connected, the circle was immediately filled with translucent grey-white flames.

"Lightning …" Alan said softly.

At the end of his words, a streak of gray-white lightning shot out from the gray circle. The lightning suddenly appeared, and in an instant, it turned into a flickering light that flashed into the dark golden pillar. The pillar of light changed at the beginning and end. A moment later, a tremor came from inside the pillar of light. One could see circles of shock waves appearing on the surface of the pillar of light. Clearly, the Origin Energy inside the pillar was no longer stable.

The gray-white lightning was one of Allen's Ten Styles. Alan was no longer what he used to be. There was no need for the lightning to flash out. Alan only used his will energy and used the secret flames to perfectly reproduce it. Not to mention the higher level of power, it was far more than that.

In the past, with the Fire Shadow Legion, he could only shoot out nine bolts of lightning at the same time. But now, a bolt of lightning shot out from the gray circle, and two, three … and even countless bolts of lightning continued to shoot out. At this moment, Alan revealed the full name of this lightning variant: "… Hundred Flashes."

Lightning flashed!

The gray circle in front of him was simply like a multi-barrel rotating cannon. Hundreds of pale lightning bolts shot out from that inconspicuous gray circle. Hundreds of light bolts shot out, and in the blink of an eye, the dark golden pillar was riddled with holes. The pillar of light was like a giant dragon that had been shot into a sieve. The light on its surface was uncertain, and it was not far from collapsing.

Allen's eyes flashed with grey flames as he shouted loudly and flashed forward. He clenched his hands, and the White Emperor Sword that he had separated from before converged again, turning into a ray of gray-white flame that shot out a hundred meters in Allen's hand. The flame light was like a saber, and Alan flashed in front of the pillar of light that had collapsed, sweeping the flame saber horizontally.

A gray-white arc flashed through the air.

The dark golden pillar of light broke into several pieces.

Then there was an earth-shattering explosion. The intercepted beam of light exploded, and the entire sky was illuminated by flames. As the flames drowned, they rushed up and pointed straight at the sky. As it fell, it turned into a rain of fire. Looking up from the ground, the entire sky seemed to be burning. There were no clouds and no sky. All they could see was a wave of flames gushing towards the earth!

As the fire surged, Alan was falling to the ground. The shockwave caused him to lose consciousness for a second or two. By the time he regained his senses, he was already falling. The flames howled in the surroundings, and Alan couldn't see anything, as if he was constantly sinking into a sea of flames. This familiar scene reminded him of how he had fallen into the world of the Eternal Ancient Will and crossed the sea of flames.

Just as he was thinking this, he had already passed through the flames and saw the earth below, as well as the horizon in the distance. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the strange world deep in his consciousness. However, in a woman's spiritual world, there was no giant standing on the other side of the horizon.

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through Alan's mind.

In the next moment, he laughed.

Trap.

From the beginning, when he pulled that woman into this spiritual world, the woman had set him up. This set included the Bar army, as well as the figure of the woman in the sky and in the sun.

This was the world of the mind. This was a battle of wills. There was no need for a battle of willpower to be carried out in such a subtle and specific way. The battle between the armies on the ground at high altitudes was just a misleading thing for women. She wanted to limit Allen's will to a certain level. Clearly, the battle between the two armies on the ground was the lowest level. But Alan had surpassed that level, so she set up another battlefield high up in the sky, making Alan mistakenly think that it was the final battlefield.

However, that was still not the case.

Spiritual will should be a product of freedom, and it should not be bound by any form. Both battlefields were in one form, both on earth and high up in the sky, and women confined Allen to a certain form, thus occupying a more advantageous position.

Allen could not defeat him no matter what because his mood was limited.

Now it was another matter.

The flames in the sky suddenly shrank, turning into a woman's face. However, this face was simply too large. It was a gigantic face that was more than ten kilometers square. Even so, the woman's face was still dignified and beautiful.

"Looks like you've noticed," she said.

"That's right." Ellen closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm angry. I'm taller than the sky."

When he opened his eyes again, everything in his eyes shrunk and disappeared into the distance. The earth, the sky, the fire clouds, the woman, everything was gone in Alan's eyes. He did not fly high into the sky, but his consciousness in the spiritual world was rapidly expanding. In the blink of an eye, he had already transformed into a figure that was connected to the heavens like the giant shadow of the world of will. However, Alan's body still hadn't stopped growing, so the planet couldn't accommodate him any longer.

He transcended the planet and saw the universe, countless planets, galaxies, and unfathomable beautiful nebulas.

In the end, he saw nothing.

Above the snowy plains of the Land of the Lost, on an icy rock that was extremely far away from Alan. The woman who had been motionless all this while slowly opened her eyes. A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on her body. But as she shook her body, the ice and snow dissipated. It wasn't falling, but completely disappearing, as if it didn't exist at all. The woman looked in Allen's direction and let out a breath. She held a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "You're really there. Even my spiritual world can't hold your spirit energy. Even the child who is already known as a supreme being can't do this …"

She suddenly stretched in a childish manner and murmured, "It's time for us to go back. But I'm sure we'll meet again soon."

Raising his bare feet, he stepped a hundred meters away. The woman walked like she was taking a walk, but she took a step of a hundred meters. After a few breaths, she had already disappeared into the distance of the snowy plains.

In the cave, Alan opened his eyes. He first saw the top of the cave, then Trisley's face. "What's wrong with you?" Tracy pulled him up when she saw him wake up.

"How long have I been lying?" Ellen replied.

"It's been two hours, right?" Trisley counted on her fingers before replying.

"Two hours" Allen laughed. "Fortunately, I thought it would take longer."

He never mentioned what had happened with that woman in the spiritual world, but after experiencing that spiritual war, Alan could clearly feel that his will had been tempered to the point that it was stronger than steel. Especially that final enlightenment, that self-esteem that was higher than the heavens, which allowed him to climb to the height that he had never reached before.

That anger was the anger of being trapped in the Iron Prison, the sadness of their loved ones leaving, the cry for freedom, and the unyielding face of power. Everything that he had experienced in the past had finally perfectly fused into Alan's mood at that moment.

If there is injustice, then there will be a cry, and a cry will be as high as the sky.

It was precisely that unfair aura that allowed Alan to finally surpass his previous self, surmount the mysterious woman's spiritual world, and return to his original body.

"Although you don't seem to have changed much, I still feel that something is different." Tracy looked at Ellen seriously. It was normal for an expert of her level to observe her.

She was keenly aware that Alan was different in some respects, but she could not say in detail, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Alan smiled faintly without explaining. He looked out of the cave. His line of sight was blocked by the light screen, but everything outside the cave seemed to be reflected in the water, clearly appearing in his mind. So he could clearly "see" the snow beast lying around the sleigh, as well as a few soldiers.

He let out a sigh, but the image that was reflected in his mind disappeared. Alan was surprised. Not only did his spiritual power increase greatly, there was also a mysterious spiritual power that might have something to do with the last scene in the spiritual world.

At that time, he was above everything else and above everything else. Everything within sight was enormous. Currently, due to the limitations of his body, he had lost his divine perspective. However, wherever his will came from, he seemed to be able to clearly see everything in one place.

This was much more convenient and intuitive than using Origin Energy to perceive things. Moreover, there was no dead end, so there was no limit. Alan decided to test it on the spot. He concentrated and his spiritual energy slowly spread out like a tide. Thus, he "saw" the cave where he was. He saw the snow beasts and soldiers outside the cave, and the scene was still expanding. He looked down from the sky and saw everything below.

He thought for a moment and then concentrated on "looking" in Bai Xicheng's direction. Suddenly, the angle of the scene in his eyes changed. What he saw was no longer a plane, but from the point of view of standing on the ground, his field of vision became limited. He could no longer see all directions, so his gaze could only focus on the front. Alan flew straight ahead as the snowy plains continued to retreat. A moment later, he saw a gray city.

In the next moment, he saw the buildings, streets, sculptures, and people coming and going in and out of the city. Alan's heart trembled, his mind distracted, and his mind returned to the cave. However, he was overjoyed. After the experiment just now, he had basically figured out how to use this ability. Simply put, this ability could be divided into two states: surface and line. When his spiritual energy was spread out in a planar form with him as its origin, he could observe everything that was several hundred meters square. If one stretched their spiritual energy, they would be able to see farther away.

The two states are long and short each other, although the planar vision is comprehensive, but the scope is limited. Linear shape can be seen farther, but field of vision is limited.

However, in general, it was much more convenient than simply sensing Origin Energy.

He gave this psychic ability an apt and old-fashioned name.

A pickup truck with a stone statue was carved in the studio as Alan swept his mind over Bai Xicheng. That pair of hands, which had always been as stable as stone, suddenly trembled, and the saber moved a little, leaving an absolutely impossible scratch on the plaster. He put down his knife and looked up at the dome. Just now, he felt a will flash past him. Unfortunately, it came and went quickly, and before the pickup truck could feel the aura of will, it disappeared without a trace.

Pickup truck's heart was heavy.

Looking at the edge of the Lost Realm, there was probably only one person who could allow his will to cross over Bai Xicheng. The expert who killed the Blood Eye, Green Light Town's new master. But as far as Pickup knew, even his boss, White Devil Luci, would find it hard to do so. After all, Green Light Town was not close to this place. In a non-combat state, how strong would the other party have to be to allow his will to cross such a large distance?

Could it be that the new owner of Green Light Town is stronger than the boss? Pickup thought uneasily. He was unwilling to admit it. Because the messenger that he had just arrived in Green Light Town had been killed, and now the man named Rock Mountain was being sealed in the plaster under his hand. Pickup was planning to send the plaster sculpture to Green Light Town. When the guy named Alan discovered that the sculpture was actually his subordinate's corpse, Pickup believed that his expression would be very wonderful.

The corpse was also a substitute for Luci's book of war.

But now, the pickup truck hesitated. Previously, he absolutely believed that Luci would not lose to an outsider, but now his confidence began to waver. Even if he wanted to send out the "War Book" in his hand, it was hard for him to decide.

After some thought, the pickup truck left the studio. He sent an inquiry message to the Fallen Hall. He needed Luci's confirmation before he dared to continue with his previous plan. Due to the influence of the force field in the Lost Realm, the communication with the Great Wasteland could only be carried out with one-way information. After sending the message, the next thing the pickup truck could do was wait. He had no intention of returning to the studio.

Suddenly, he realized that he was actually uneasy.

Alan walked out of the cave entrance at the snowy plains cave. Behind him was Trisley. Seeing the two of them, the soldiers who were resting in the leeward hurriedly got up. They almost crawled to Ellen's side. Ellen looked at them and said, "Listen to Trisley, Bai Xicheng's pickup truck killed Rock Mountain and sent people to hunt you down?"

"Yes, Your Excellency." The leader lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for Miss Trisley, even the few of us would have died in this snowy plain."

"Very well, it seems that the White Demon side does not intend to negotiate peacefully. Since he wants a war, I will give him a war." Alan looked in Bai Xicheng's direction. "Pack your things and set off immediately."

The soldier hesitated for a moment. "Sir, are we the only ones?"

Alan did not answer and turned to leave. Tracy walked up and kicked him twice in the snow, then smiled and said, "Nonsense, is there anyone else here? Besides, you trash are not expected to fight. All you have to do is watch from behind and see how Bai Xicheng is broken in Master's hands!"

The soldiers were dumbfounded.

Moments later, the three sleds drew new marks on the snow and headed in the direction of Bai Xicheng.

As the hourglass turned to the daytime zone, the number of people on the streets gradually increased. In addition to controlling two green glazed ore veins, Bai Xicheng also produces a rare metal, white iron. Although there was an iron character in the name of White Iron, its hardness was far above that of steel. It is a natural gray-white color, and has scalelike patterns, so it is also known as scaled iron.

Scaled iron is widely used, and Demonic Shadow Empire buys it in large quantities every year. Therefore, the exploitation of white iron has become a major source of profit for Luci's subordinates. Most residents of Bai Xicheng work as miners or in refineries. Only a small number of them would be engaged in hunting exotic beasts. Apart from beast hunting, these people would also be engaged in exploring and gathering information from deeper parts of the Lost Realm. The job pays more and, of course, has a higher risk factor.

Bai Xicheng had an army of around three hundred people, and its army was well-equipped, far from being comparable to Green Light Town's. In addition, Luci also equipped the city with a complete weapons system, including an energy cannon and multiple defensive turrets, as well as multiple beam cannons, and so on. It can be said that Bai Xicheng has not been captured since it was built. Even though the Bone King had coveted the scaled iron ore here for a long time, he did not dare to start a war.

Having a powerful firepower weapon system was undoubtedly a great blessing for the soldiers of Bai Xicheng. Coupled with years of peace, the soldiers in the sentry tower did not take it seriously when they discovered three sleds coming from the north-east, a kilometer ahead of Bai Xicheng.
