Northeast corner of the [Abandoned City].

As a Purple Resource Zone, it is similarly vast, stretching over ten kilometers in length and width, resembling an iron jungle composed of the remnants of countless skyscrapers.

Various buildings seem to echo those found in Coastal City, but none are filled with Spirit Gold frameworks and Spirit Rune Array materials, appearing quite dilapidated, like remnants of war.

Rumble!!

At this moment.

The building at the very center of the city is rapidly collapsing, with floor slabs shattering, air waves rolling, and debris scattering.

Only a strange-looking dark gray metal hill seems to extend numerous Ether force fields invisible to the naked eye, advancing while swiftly cutting through the surrounding hundreds of meters of building remnants.

That is Yuanhu Industry’s [Chaos].

It wreaks havoc on the surface like an ancient Giant Beast, demolishing and devouring each broken building while slowly moving toward the safe zone with seemingly clumsy speed.

The metal elements and various materials contained within the building frameworks are gathered swiftly, clinging to its surface, melting into it rapidly.

Strangely, despite devouring countless building materials, its body does not appear to expand at all.

——In the west of Kunlun, there is a beast; its shape is like a dog, covered in long fur with four legs, it resembles a bear but has no claws, has eyes but cannot see, cannot open its walk, has two ears but cannot hear, people know its path, has a belly but no guts, has intestines, straight but does not rotate, food passes through straight.

At this moment, it truly resembles the description of the Spirit Beast [Chaos]; the materials devoured seem not to remain within its body, as if they vanished straight away.

However.

If a sufficiently attentive audience locks their view on [Chaos], they can feel...

The ground beneath this fierce beast, apart from the tremors from the collapsing buildings, is also inexplicably vibrating gently at all times.

Inside [Chaos], in the pure white cockpit, a middle-aged True Master is watching dozens of rapidly flashing split screens in front of him, which are imperceptible to ordinary people.

His facial lines bear some resemblance to Li Jiatu, although he appears calm, there remains an inexplicable madness in his eyes.

The founder and actual ruler of Yuanhu Group, a Six-Star Peak existence.

Coastal Li Family, True Master Li Feng.

What these screens display is not the external scenery, but extremely complex data like resource conversion rates and core loads.

The core load on the screen is rising bit by bit, as if something is accumulating and brewing.

And this True Master’s eyes become brighter, the iron-gray light formed by the intertwining of True Intent and Talent conveys a terrifying brilliance unabashedly.

——This time’s champion, Yuanhu Industry is determined to win!

......

Southwest corner.

Purple Resource Zone [Mine].

[Mist of the Abyss] has begun to seep in from the cave entrance. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Yuedong Group’s Battle Top [Celestial Punishment] transforms into a streak of pitch-black light, madly shuttling through the narrow cave.

It doesn’t seem eager to leave this cave toward the safe zone, but is accumulating something as much as possible.

The pitch-black top spins rapidly, not only absorbing all the Ether in the air but also constantly scouring nearby treasure chests, trying to capture as much Ethereal Crystals and items as possible.

It continues growing bit by bit, having transformed from the initial 10 meters upon entering the cave to 15 meters.

This underground tunnel network is intertwined with many Blue Resource Zones and Green Resource Zones.

A machine body is shredded to pieces on its path with casual rotation before continuing onward.

Besides, the handsome-looking young True Master closes his eyes tightly, hovering in an extremely narrow cockpit filled with light blue buffer liquid.

[Yuedong Group] CTO, True Master Qian Yue.

Numerous dense spiritual power connecting lines link his body, seeming as though he’s already merged with the top.

The glimmer of True Intent in his eyes becomes even brighter, a faint smile emerges on his lips, revealing excitement and anticipation.

——Are you ready to face the might of [Celestial Punishment]?

......

Southeast side.

In the direction of the safe zone, [Zero] spreads its light wings like an elegant knight, slashing through a green machine hovering above a large lake.

But it doesn’t immediately eliminate the opponent, nor does it target the cockpit deliberately, allowing its dark blue light saber to linger in the machine’s core for several seconds.

Numerous rays of light are forcibly drawn from the opponent’s Spirit Rune Array structure, as if it’s absorbing and devouring something.

Its sleek mechanical surface seems to emit a sheen, adding to its mysterious aura.

With a casual shock, the machine slowly slides down.

As this machine is transported away,

Suddenly, the lake surface beneath it explodes.

Wow!!

A machine hidden in the lake attempts to take an adventurous risk, attacking it from underwater while it’s paused.

In the next moment,

A high-pressure water blade imbued with intense Ether flashes a lethal cold light, stabbing directly at [Zero]’s chest.

Faced with this sudden ambush, [Zero] lightly sidesteps, a flicker of its energy wings evading the deadly strike with millimeter precision, as if predicting the future.

Then...

A flash of light.

It transforms into a streak of light, piercing through the core of the ambushing machine with its light saber.
