Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 739 - 378: Liberation of Canglan Star (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
Right as the Third Elder was on the verge of speaking, multiple silhouettes suddenly emerged high above Red Moon City. Three among them wore silver-gray robes, none other than the gray-robed disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
One of the trio, a female disciple, clutched the head of a two-horned woman, whereas the other two disciples clamped the necks of three elderly men, hauling them straight into the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Of those three elders clutched by the necks like lifeless dogs, the Third Elder’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets.
"City Lord?"
Among the captured elders, the Three-Eyed Race individual with three gleaming golden pupils turned out to be Hu Jin, City Lord of Celestial River Domain City—a man the Third Elder had crossed paths with on numerous occasions.
Yet now, Hu Jin’s aura flickered faintly, his form gravely wounded, clinging barely to half his vitality.
"Is the era of our Domain City really concluding in this manner?" The Third Elder stared at the three City Lords marched into the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, struggling to accept the sight for quite some time.
The Four Domain Cities had dominated the Four Domains for more than a century, with folks from the Four Domains cherishing entry into a Domain City. Residents inside believed in its everlasting reign, backed by unmatched power that no rival could topple. Even the premier powers across the Four Domains shared this conviction.
Yet the seizure of the three City Lords now heralded the total collapse of the Domain City’s dominance.
Inside Red Moon City at that moment, not just the folk from the three Domain Cities stood stupefied, but once members of the city’s great powers verified those seized elders as the City Lords of the three mighty Domain Cities, shock rippled through them all.
While every major faction had foreseen the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall supplanting the last three Domain Cities to claim supremacy over the Four Domains on Blue Star after a hundred years, none anticipated such swift fulfillment.
"Hurry! Notify the president at once—we need to accelerate our investments in Red Moon City! It’s bound to rise as the top city across the Four Domains!"
"Alert the clan leader immediately: buy back that plot we just sold in Red Moon City; it’ll prove vital for our clan’s ascent!"
"Inform the City Lord: stop sending those favoring the Genius Training Camp to the three Domain Cities—they must head to Red Moon City now, or entry into the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall might slip away!"
...
Members of various forces inside the city scrambled to reach their leaders, relaying not only news of the three Domain City Lords’ capture but also pressing for an all-out resource flood into Red Moon City without delay.
Leaders of each major force first reeled in disbelief upon hearing the report, verifying it repeatedly. With irrefutable proof, exhilaration and fervor exploded within them.
The Domain City epoch had crashed to a close, but this instant unmistakably launched a brand-new era.
Those seizing the chance earliest would secure loftier positions ahead; factions that wavered or hedged their bets now flung everything behind the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, eager to surge forward in the dawning age.
As powers throughout the Four Domains madly realigned toward the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, chaos also erupted at the Restricted Area Sanctuary.
"What? The wardens from the other three Domains got captured too? Even Huang Jiu’s locked up now?" Suihun froze in shock, gazing at Vanessa as she relayed the scene through the projection.
He had assumed the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall couldn’t withstand a peak half-step Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse like Huang Jiu. Yet not only had they nabbed Huang Jiu, but they’d also dragged in the Insect Race’s final three wardens. The hall’s prowess truly shattered all heavenly limits.
The feat of capturing a titan like Huang Jiu especially baffled comprehension, leaving no clue how the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall pulled it off.
"Could a Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse be supporting the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?" Suihun pondered deeply, landing on this as the sole plausible explanation.
Huang Jiu, a mutant within the Evil Demon Race, had also grasped the Ultimate Technique from the Demigod Inheritance. His power ranked at the pinnacle among all half-step Divine Fusion Realm powerhouses. Even the commander holding the top spot on Prison Dragon Star might fail to overcome Huang Jiu, to say nothing of seizing him.
Seizing a figure like Huang Jiu would demand a genuine Divine Fusion Realm expert.
Yet Suihun swiftly shook his head, casting aside the thought.
Suihun had thoroughly probed the background of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, confirming its status as a local power on Canglan Star, hailing from the Human Race—a species exclusive to Canglan Star and unseen on other life-bearing worlds.
Being only a fourth-class life planet and a mere breeding ground, Canglan Star birthing even a half-step Divine Fusion Realm master was a miracle beyond miracles. The emergence of a true Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse was absolutely inconceivable, limited by both physiological constraints and sheer feasibility.
Setting aside cultivation methods entirely, breaking through to the Divine Fusion Realm calls for immense energy purity and volume, conditions met only by second-class life planets as a rule. This explains why Divine Fusion Realm masters make their homes on at least second-class planets.
Could a Divine Fusion Realm master from some other planet be lending aid to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall? That notion, too, was utterly implausible.
Not originating from Canglan Star, Suihun held profound insight into galactic events. As starry sky warriors, Divine Fusion Realm masters were exceedingly scarce even across a single galaxy, under near-constant watch by rival factions; every move they made stood exposed to scrutiny, given their planet-destroying might and vital roles on Cosmic Empire battlefronts, where they could tip entire regional conflicts—and thus demanded unceasing surveillance.
