Chapter 451: Outside the City

Shui Wuge led Yun Ye and the others out of the fiftieth floor.

She pressed her head, unable to maintain her outward smile.

She could already see a bleak future ahead!

With so many enemies, even if her brother could win, it would be fraught with incredible challenges…

“However, overcoming difficulties can be interesting. Changdong, what do you plan to do next?”

Shui Wuge quickly adjusted her mindset and put on her usual smile.

“First, I need to confirm whether this thing works. Xiaoxian and Guanglin should also familiarize themselves with the Spiritual Attire.”

Yun Ye shook the crystal key in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, he conjured a black rope out of thin air to tie the crystal key and then hung it around his neck.

Li Xiaoxian and You Guanglin witnessed this scene and instinctively reached for their little sword necklaces at their chests. They relaxed only after confirming its real existence.

This was their proof as Foreign Warriors; without the Spiritual Attire, nothing could begin.

“Dawn Chasing Darkness is indeed a powerful Holy Attire, but it has high requirements for its user. Throughout history, no captain of Team Two has been weak.”

Shui Wuge nodded.

“Speaking of which, Wuge, you also use a Holy Attire, right? It looks similar to mine.”

Yun Ye suddenly said.

“Ah, so Elder Brother noticed! This is the eighth-ranked Holy Attire, ‘Watercolor Paradise,’ which perfectly matches my abilities, so my mother gave it to me.”

Shui Wuge smiled.

“Impressive! I can already imagine what kind of weapon it is; it really enhances your strength.”

Yun Ye clapped his hands.

He understood the effects of Shui Wuge’s Spirit Law and could reverse-engineer to deduce the general effects of the Holy Attire.

“Actually, it’s not much. There is still a qualitative gap between me and my sisters. Regarding the problems Elder Brother will face next, if it involves Qingya or Rihui, we might just have to submit, so before that, let’s focus on boosting our strength.”

Shui Wuge said seriously.

She stopped the elevator on the forty-fifth floor and led everyone out.

“Here, we can use the sacred department’s air portal to reach various locations directly. It allows support to arrive within a minute.”

It sounded a bit slow.

But for Foreign Warriors, this speed was already considered incredible. They didn’t have transmission like the law realms, making their travel quite slower.

With such a transmission device, the farther the support needs to travel, the more valuable it becomes.

In modern warfare, logistics alone could take days to prepare. Using examples from the world’s top three military powers, whether it’s transporting supplies, firearms, or gathering troops, moving forces to designated locations takes time; even the fastest preparations would still require several days.

As for cultivators, they have spatial equipment, and combat supplies are carried with them, requiring no preparation time.

As for Foreign Warriors…

Dongwang City does have spatial equipment, but the quantities seem limited, with the vast majority being in the form of Spiritual Attire, unlike the cultivator era, where they had storage equipment with hundreds of cubic capabilities.

Yun Ye and the three others took a tour around the Sacred Department Building. They obtained Spiritual Attire and space rings.

Li Xiaoxian and the others received two-cubic-meter rings, which could only hold some food and clothing; they couldn’t store large amounts of weapons and equipment.

Since Yun Ye held the position of captain, he received a twenty-cubic-meter ring.

This volume was basically sufficient, and Yun Ye didn’t waste points on a bigger space ring.

On the forty-fifth floor, they could exchange for some supplies, most of which were free, like compressed food and water cubes.

As they needed to leave the city to familiarize themselves with the Spiritual Attire and carry out some small-scale cleanup tasks, Yun Ye prepared ample supplies, gathering food, water, clothes, tents, and other essentials to ensure they had enough living materials.

As for various spiritual items, magical tools, and formations and talismans, one word summed it up: "expensive." Yun Ye glanced at them and skipped past entirely.

Points could either be spent on Rare Treasures or Spiritual Attire. He decided to pass on general consumables since he wouldn’t need them.

Preparation finished.

The five were suddenly enveloped in light, disappearing from the forty-fifth floor of the Sacred Department Building.

…

Endless city walls vanished at the horizon, marking the boundary between light and darkness.

Numerous puppets stood atop the city walls, mechanically eliminating everything that approached.

Within the walls, the land for hundreds of miles lay desolate, with no signs of life, only a solitary tall tower standing alone.

As a beam of light descended from the sky, the figures of the five appeared atop the tower.

“Hmm?”

As soon as Yun Ye arrived, he realized he could sense the spirit energy again; although it was very sparse, even less than in Baishi Town, it indeed existed!

He instinctively drew in the spirit energy, beginning to cultivate the Ethereal Law.

As a cultivator, his strongest power came from the Spiritual Roots Law, and once mastered, it would lead him directly to the Mystic Realm!

But soon, Yun Ye stopped.

Now, he possessed the most perfect Five Elements Spiritual Roots, yet practicing Ethereal Law seemed a bit lacking; Ethereal Law was merely the Triple Fusion, and he had only two types of Spiritual Roots participating, with the third being Spirit Sense.

“In the fifth era, my control over spirit energy was always inadequate, preventing me from incorporating the fourth attribute into the law, which meant the Earth Spiritual Root had hardly any effect.”

“But that was in the law realms and Mystic Realm… now, just being in the Mortal Realm, I could actually achieve the fusion of the Four Attributes.”

“Even the fusion of all Five Attributes might not be impossible!”

“The challenge is how to maintain the fusion of all five attributes while spirit energy evolves into magical power, and then into True Essence without relying on the laws.”

Advancing from the spiritual realm to the law realms would grant the Great Transformation of Laws, essentially a forced way to enhance control, since everything would be directly fixed within the body.

Without the Great Transformation of Laws, even if he could previously achieve the fusion of three attributes, he wouldn’t be able to do so after advancing to the law realms because the requirements would increase.

“That was in the past; perhaps things are different this time. If I could directly enhance my power, I might be able to do so without relying on any methods…”

Yun Ye sank deep in thought, completely oblivious as the others moved forward and reached the city walls.

“Elder Brother!”

Shui Wuge suddenly grabbed Yun Ye, causing him to stumble, and he realized he had already reached the middle of the city wall, about to step out.

“Ah, I didn’t notice I was already here… Is this the area we need to clear?”

Yun Ye came to his senses and looked ahead.

However, he saw nothing.

Only blue skies and white clouds stretching down to the ground, like a large dome, enclosing the entire Dongwang City around the middle of the city wall.

“This sky… it turns out it’s entirely a barrier? But wait, to clear out the disaster beasts, we must go outside, right?”

Yun Ye was slightly stunned; he had never paid much attention to the sky. Given his height, his Spirit Sense couldn’t reach that high, only now realizing the anomaly.

“Captain, once we cross the barrier, we’ll enter the outside world, where dangers from the Calamities are everywhere. We must activate the Spiritual Attire… otherwise, we’ll be the ones in danger.”

Li Jianbing said.

“I remember now; if you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot. By the way, what exactly are these Calamities?”

Yun Ye pulled out the crystal key, infused it with life force, and then suddenly plunged it into the air. With a heavy turning sound of the key, a spatial door opened, transforming into a ring that enveloped Yun Ye from top to bottom.

“Holy Attire Authorization!”

“Second Armament Restrictions Lifted!”

“Dawn Chasing Darkness—”

“Equip!”

When Yun Ye reappeared, he was covered in white armor, with numerous black patterns spreading across it, resembling thorns.

The armor was adult-sized, but when Yun Ye put it on, he naturally switched to an adult perspective, as if the armor had become his limbs.

However, this precision came at a cost; Yun Ye clearly felt the incredible weight pressing down on him, continuously breaking him down at a genetic level.

“Is this like an armed version of the evolution technique? It completely integrates with the user but carries a burden far exceeding that of magical tools!”

Yun Ye moved his limbs, feeling a dramatic enhancement in both his senses and physical qualities. The armor’s performance surpassed that of any magical tool.

Magical tools often had overly singular functions, with only the top-level treasures possessing rich abilities. In contrast, this armor combined the power of many magical tools, naturally crafting a perfect combination of capabilities.

Moreover, the materials felt extraordinarily different, giving Yun Ye a sense of having life, amplifying his Spirit Sense, body, and Spiritual Roots on all fronts.

Undoubtedly, this was top-tier technology only found in Tomorrow Nation, entirely constructed from Extreme Spiritual Law, maximizing the performance of every single component.
