Chapter 251: A True Powerhouse Is Never Held Back by the Environment

Chapter 251: A True Powerhouse Is Never Held Back by the Environment

After confirming the enemy's life force had completely dissipated, Su Nan retracted his palm and nodded to himself.

He personally dealt with the situation to avoid overly damaging the mage tower, which he intended to reserve for research and later dismantle for materials to upgrade the Starlight Mage Tower.

Since he couldn't continue damaging the mage tower, he had to eliminate the one controlling it.

Additionally, it was rare to encounter a Level 2 mage, and Su Nan wanted to test the power of his [Talent Enhancement] ability.

After breaking through Level 2 Liquidation and Level 2 Crystal Formation, the [Talent Enhancement] ability had doubled in strength.

The doubled power of 'Liquid Metal' and 'Absolute No-Go Zone' didn't disappoint him, easily crushing a Level 2 Liquid Mage.

The only regret Su Nan had was that the enemy was too weak, and he didn't even get to Use the third talent ability before the enemy was defeated.

Otherwise, he would have tested the Power of 'Falling Star Rain.'

Regaining his Composure, Su Nan extracted the three mage souls and turned them into soul crystals, storing them along with the spatial ring. Then he began to investigate the mage tower.

Even though the three mages of the Dark Throne were already dead, the tower spirit of the mage tower was still faithfully executing the program to kill any invaders, continuously summoning puppets from within.

Su Nan simply destroyed the crystal ball containing the tower spirit, and the mage tower finally fell silent, slowly descending to the ground.

After that, Su Nan thoroughly searched the mage tower, inside and out.

Perhaps because this mage tower was built specifically for battle, it didn't store many resources, mostly just some common potions and metals.

There were also very few books.

Su Nan was a Bit Disappointed, but he quickly shook off this disappointment.

The mage tower itself was the biggest gain!

After researching it, he would dismantle it for materials, adding the materials from Destructing Falling Star City, which would almost complete the resources needed to upgrade the Intermediate Mage Tower.

The Dark Mage Tower was already devoid of living creatures, and even the tower spirit was destroyed, so it could be stored in the Magic Cube.

Su Nan directly stored the mage tower and returned to the Starlight Mage Tower.

At the top control center, Lize watched the holographic projection of Tower Spirit 3, showing the scene of the Magic Image Legion massacring the Winged Bone Claws.

With the destruction of the Dark Mage Tower's tower spirit, these puppets lost control, falling into chaos like headless flies, and were easily massacred by the Magic Image Legion.

The battle quickly entered its final stage.

Lize, who had watched the entire battle, was deeply moved.

Though she had long known that the vanguard of the Dark Throne was no match for Su Nan, seeing him win so easily still made her secretly marvel.

The Starlight Continent of the Elemental Wasteland was a hand of bad cards, yet he could play it so well that describing it as a miracle wasn't an exaggeration.

Not long after, Su Nan returned to the Starlight Mage Tower.

Lize gathered her thoughts and asked with a smile, "Any gains?"

Su Nan shook his head, "Besides that mage tower, only one first-stage mage artifact had any value, the rest was almost negligible."

Lize smiled, "They are the Dark Throne, after all, they heavily exploit lower-level mages, so it makes sense that the mages' wealth isn't substantial."

Pausing for a moment, Lize's expression turned slightly serious, "What's next?"

Su Nan pondered for a moment, "Our actions were swift, and we eliminated the vanguard in the first moment. They likely didn't have time to report back to the Dark Throne, so the Dark Throne probably won't send more people here in the short term."

"But if they don't get news for a long time, they might send more people to investigate. We just need to keep an eye on the Eye of Stars, and once we detect any invasion, we immediately eliminate the threat."

Lize nodded slightly, with the current strength of the Star Alliance, the Dark Throne wouldn't pose much of a threat unless they sent a Medium Mage Tower or a Level 3 Mage. We can kill as many as they send, the key is how to handle the Dark Throne's anger once the planar lockdown is lifted."

"Let's go back, we still have a lot to do," Su Nan said.

The matter with the Dark Throne was now concluded.

With this experience, the Star Alliance gained the experience needed to handle future invasions, and Lize could take charge of the next steps.

Unless they encountered a formidable enemy that required Su Nan's personal intervention, he could focus all his energy on cultivation and upgrading the Mage Tower.

In the Underworld, Dark Lake City.

In the central stone pillar palace's corridor, Tanna stood by the window, gazing at the purple demonic flames burning on the stalactites above, her face showing a deep contemplative expression.

It had been over two hundred years since Su Nan arrived on this continent, and he had gradually grown accustomed to life here.

Although he felt a bit of a pityland's surface, witnessing the flourishing development of the Starlight Continent, which grew stronger year after year, was quite intriguing.

The Star Alliance's attitude toward him was favorable, except for the dimensional space called Dragon Forest, which he was not allowed to enter. However, no other restrictions were placed on him.

They even arranged a private laboratory, meditation room, and spell cultivation room for him at Base Number 2, allowing him to exchange knowledge for cultivation resources.

For this, Tan Na was quite grateful.

However, recently, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

The Star Alliance seemed to be dealing with something, frequently mobilizing armies and wizards.

Despite the signs not being very obvious, Tan Na, situated in the core territory of the Star Alliance, still keenly felt it.

It was as if the Star Alliance was preparing for the arrival of some enemies.

Just then, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful energy particle fluctuation burst forth.

Judging by the direction, it should be on the surface.

Even through the thick crust, he could feel how intense the energy particle fluctuation burst was!

"Level 2. No, a Level 2 wizard's battle shouldn't have this intensity."

"Level 3 wizard? Or a wizard tower?"

Although he couldn't gauge Su Nan's power level, Tan Na felt the other party shouldn't be a Level 3 wizard.

As for a wizard tower, Tan Na had never seen one on the Starlight Continent, given the environment, it was impossible to construct a wizard tower.

So this energy particle fluctuation shouldn't be from the Star Alliance.

But if not the Star Alliance, then what else could it be?

Tan Na wanted to investigate the place where the energy particle burst occurred, but the Obsidian city, or rather the entire underground world, had issued a ban recently.

Without permission, no wizards or legions could leave their respective cities, where they were originally stationed.

Tan Na, though not a member of the Star Alliance, was also restricted by the ban.

Or, precisely because he wasn't a member of the Star Alliance, he was more restricted by the ban.

However, just over an hour later, the ban was lifted.

Soon, someone came to inform Tan Na he could act freely.

"Please wait a moment."

Just as the other party was about to leave, Tan Na called to him, slightly recalling, quickly remembering the other party's name, who seemed to be another wizard of the Star Alliance.

"Mr. Fleming, can I ask what exactly happened just now?"

Fleming smiled slightly, "Mr. Tan Na sensed that energy particle fluctuation just now?"

Seeing Tan Na nod, Fleming thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Tan Na, I don't mind telling you, anyway, you'll know soon enough."

"Just now, enemies invaded the Starlight Continent, but were dealt with by Lord Su Nan himself."

External invasion!

Tan Na was startled, subconsciously questioning, "The blockade of the Starlight Continent hasn't been lifted, how could any beings get in?"

Since the term 'invasion' was used, it meant not just a coincidental entry like his, but a premed breach of the dimensional barrier.

"That's correct," Fleming shrugged, "ordinarily, no one can enter the Starlight Continent, but the Obsidian Throne left anchor points here, and if they are willing to pay the price, they can breach the dimensional barrier now."

"You mean the Obsidian Throne?"

Tan Na's face slightly changed, his shock growing.

Of course, he knew about the Obsidian Throne, one of the most notorious large wizard factions in the multiverse!

He never imagined the invaders would be the Obsidian Throne!

However, he quickly remembered what Su Nan had told him about the event two thousand years ago, and after a moment's reflection, he understood.

It seemed the Obsidian Throne had their eyes on the Starlight Continent, aiming to occupy it before the dimensional barrier was lifted.

Given the Obsidian Throne's style, it wasn't surprising they would do this.

Doubting, Tan Na couldn't help but ask, "What about the energy particle fluctuation?"

Fleming didn't hide anything, honestly saying, "The Obsidian Throne activated a wizard tower."

"A wizard tower!" Tan Na was startled.

Not because the Obsidian Throne activated a wizard tower, but hearing Fleming's words, it seemed the Star Alliance still won in this situation!

How did they manage that?

A wizard's tower isn't something that can be solved by mere sea tactics. Even with the Star Alliance's numerous wizard-level puppets, it should be impossible to defeat the Dark Throne's wizard tower!

Unless the Star Alliance also has a wizard tower!

But given the environment of the Starlight Continent, how could a wizard tower be constructed?

But Tan Na thought, if Su Nan could create the Star Alliance's wizard faction and build a wizard tower, wouldn't that be impossible?

Hasn't this man created enough miracles by now?

For a moment, Tan Na was somewhat shocked and uncertain.

Hesitating, he couldn't help but ask.

"Does the Star Alliance have a wizard tower?"

Fei Lemming smiled at his question without answering directly, instead saying, "In over a decade, the planar blockade will be lifted, and Mr. Tan can leave here then. Rest assured, the Dark Throne matter won't implicate you."

"I have matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company. Farewell."

With that, Fei Lemming turned and left.

Though he didn't answer directly, his attitude revealed much.

Tan Na stood stunned, unable to regain his composure for a long while.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

"Indeed, true powerhouses are never constrained by their environment."

After resolving the Dark Throne matter, Su Nan returned to refining the talent crystal model.

With ample construction agents, the entire process went smoothly.

In just over a year, Su Nan successfully refined the 'Falling Star Rain' talent crystal model, creating another beautiful and intricate core crystal.

"Next is to fill it with mental energy."

Sitting cross-legged beside the elemental pool, Su Nan focused his mind and began to fill the core crystal with mental energy.

A month passed.

[Talent Crystal Model Filling Progress: 0.01%]



"A month to fill 0.01% of the mental energy."

Su Nan shook his head inwardly.

At this rate, it would take nearly a century to fill the talent crystal model.

Even with the energy particle concentration on the Starlight Continent nearly restored to its peak, and the large elemental pool providing a buff, it was clear how much mental energy was required to fill the third talent crystal model.

"This efficiency is too slow. I need to find a way to speed up the filling process."

A thoughtful expression appeared in Su Nan's eyes.

After the planar blockade on the Starlight Continent is lifted, he could trade resources with other wizard factions and obtain items like mental pearls to accelerate mental energy recovery.

However, Su Nan didn't have high hopes for this.

After all, such resources were scarce and in high demand, and few wizard factions were willing to sell to outsiders.

Even if he got lucky and bought some, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to what he needed.

Unless he joined a wizard faction.

Like students at the Starlight Academy, he could buy many resources unavailable outside with contribution points.

"There's another method: continue upgrading the elemental pool."

Generally, a large elemental pool was already top-tier. Beyond that, it was the elemental furnace.

However, that was an energy supply device used in Sky City, which Su Nan currently lacked the capability to manufacture or acquire the necessary resources.

But for others, upgrading the large elemental pool was not a problem for him.

As long as he continued to synthesize with small elemental pools, he could keep upgrading and enhancing the effects.

"Given the Star Alliance's substantial revenue growth, diverting some funds to upgrade the elemental pool shouldn't be an issue."

Su Nan had a plan in mind.

Upgrading the elemental pool would also benefit the Starlight Wizard Tower's long-range firepower.

The battle against the Dark Wizard Tower had already proven the effectiveness of the Spell Cannon Tower II and the Displacement Cannon II.

If Su Nan wanted, he wouldn't even need to mobilize the Demon Legion; just sustained firepower could destroy the Dark Wizard Tower.

The only issue was the enormous energy consumption, which, even after improvements, remained substantial.

Three rounds of synchronized fire from three hundred Spell Cannon Towers II, plus one shot from the Displacement Cannon II, would deplete nearly half the tower's energy.

Dealing with a small wizard tower was manageable, but once facing a medium-sized wizard tower, the firepower's sustained deficiency would become apparent.

Upgrading the elemental pool would address this problem.

"Since the wizard tower is about to be upgraded, this will help resolve the elemental pool issue smoothly."
