The rain had lessened.
It drizzled, but the chill was especially biting.
In the darkness, Tuck held his shield and raced forward in Shadow State.
Trailing behind him was Andre Van of the Fourth Rank.
As a Fourth Rank Demon Hunter, he had already begun attempting to converge his own “Transcendent State.”
Add to that his innate “Dark Vision” as a Demon Hunter and his own mobility.
Keeping up with Tuck in Shadow State was quite effortless for him.
“We’re almost there!”
As Tuck slowed down, he lowered his voice.
Andre likewise immediately reigned in his transcendent aura.
Soon, Tuck came to a stop in a corner of the forest along the ridge.
“Come out!”
With Tuck’s words, a Third Rank Shadow Flame Demon Wolf Leader leaped out from among the rain-drenched canopies.
“A Shadow Demon Wolf Leader?”
Andre whispered in astonishment and with a “clang,” he drew forth his Fourth Rank Rune, Demon Hunting Silver Blade.
Silver pupils shining bright.
And with his pupils illuminating, the Demon Hunting Silver Blade grew increasingly lustrous.
The Third Rank Shadow Flame Demon Wolf, naturally a Leader Level Transcendent beast, certainly would not indulge the other party.
It too crouched low, coldly surveying the Fourth Rank Demon Hunter, a growl beginning to roll in its throat, its fangs gradually bared.
“Put away your blade; it’s too bright. If the enemies in stealth in the valley notice us, we’ll lose our advantage.”
Tuck glanced at Andre, and while setting up a small altar, he said.
Andre looked between Tuck’s “Shadow State” and the “Shadow” Wolf Leader, and then with a flicker of understanding, he slowly sheathed his Demon Hunting Silver Blade.
Sure enough, as he sheathed the blade, the Shadow Demon Wolf watched him for a moment and then also relaxed its battle stance, trotted behind Tuck, and sat down.
Even in its seated position, it towered over Andre, who was already quite tall and stocky.
“Damn it, you have a Third Rank Leader Level pet, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
“Tsk tsk… A Third Rank Shadow Flame Demon Wolf Leader, a Leader Level creature!”
Andre, having sheathed his blade, was very interested in examining the burly and robust Shadow Demon Wolf before him.
“Who knows how many want to tame a Leader Level beast but fail, ultimately falling prey to it.”
“If I could contract a powerful Leader Level beast, that would be too good, I’d even be willing to exchange a Steam Core for it, but alas…”
Andre Van shook his head.
“I lack the ability to summon and contract.”
As he spoke, Andre still wanted to get a closer look.
But the Third Rank Shadow Flame Demon Wolf Leader glared him back.
“I envy you wizards.”
Andre Van, with a bit of envy, subdued his expression.
However, his occasional glances at the Shadow Flame Demon Wolf Leader revealed that he clearly harbored notions of testing the Leader’s strength.
This way, he could also gauge to some extent the true strength of the enigmatic Steam Wizard “Taniru.”
Soon, Tuck began the Sacrifice Ritual of the Dark Sun Altar.
Afterward, he established the Dark Sun faith’s lineage onto the extended Dark Sun lineage of that hub region, and began inspecting the situation within.
The SSS Level Precision Correction + SSS Level Steam Origin Energy Spirit State that he employed for the deep exploration of the “world’s pathways and trajectories” was a unique skill developed from the depth of his own Transcendent Talent.
Indeed, Tuck’s own shadow contained a Dark Sun faith lineage as well.
But, by utilizing a ritual to build a new faith lineage, rather than directly using his existing one, he could better evade the Power of the Dark Sun.
This newly built faith lineage could be discarded after use, completely undetectable to gods and spirits alike.
In recent times, Tuck had gained many new insights into “Transcendent Faith Studies.”
Half an hour passed quickly.
“Done, the exploration is over.”
In the darkness, Tuck opened his eyes.
“How did it go?”
Andre immediately asked in a lowered voice.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Tuck slowly replied.
“According to my ritual exploration.”
“That Alien Gate is a transit hub for the Dark Sun Church, and judging by its scale and personnel, it is a very important site.”
An important transit hub?
The news from Tuck caused Andre’s expression to darken slightly.
“An important transit hub? Is this type of place something the two of us should mess with?”
“Inside, there must at least be beings of Bishop Level lying in wait.”
“Bishops of over sixty levels are definitely not within our capacity to provoke.”
As he spoke, Andre’s brow twitched incessantly.
“You should notify St. Land, have them dispatch a Transcendent Legion here.”
“Instead of you taking me, both of us going on a suicide mission.”
Tuck nodded.

“You’re right, notify St. Land, and then have them confiscate all the spoils of war into the warehouses of St. Land.”
“And for us, the harvest is zero.”
“You can’t expect us to sit here and have those treasures fall into our laps, can you?”
“But…”
Andre spread his hands.
“The presence of a Dark Sun Bishop Level existence, that’s too dangerous.”
Tuck took a deep breath and said slowly.
“The crux of the problem lies here… there are no Bishop Level powers from the Dark Sun Church over there.”
“None? Are you sure there aren’t any?” Andre raised an eyebrow.
“I am certain. A Sixth Rank Transcendent will naturally affect the transcendent ecology around them.”
“And my detection ritual is particularly sensitive to this aspect.”
“If I say there aren’t any, then there definitely aren’t any.”
“But the problem is, inside there are six long-distance portals, plus one Alien Gate, and one exit—right under the valley on the other side, the ‘Layered Domain Passage Door,’ very close to us.”
“You can understand it as an independent transcendent domain space with eight Magic Doors.”
“As long as we… destroy these eight passages.”
“Then… everything inside will be ours.”
Tuck’s words sent a thrill through Andre Van.
The higher the risk, the greater the reward!
This was the first time Andre Van fully grasped the allure of that phrase.
The feeling was like robbing a central bank in the heart of a Transcendent City State.
Although he knew that getting caught meant death, escaping would mean a fortune!
He suppressed the surging currents within his heart.
“Destroying eight Magic Doors at the same time, the difficulty… seems rather high, doesn’t it!”
“To be precise, it’s six that need to be destroyed,” Tuck explained methodically.
“We don’t need to bother with the one close to us; the powers of Black River Valley won’t move easily.”
“I imagine… your Sixth Rank Transcendents from the Demon Hunter Guild are already waiting outside! Am I right?”
Andre Van laughed and didn’t refute this.
“The Alien Gate doesn’t require too much worry either. It’s just a passageway with an energy limit of just over fifty levels, not enough to accommodate a Sixth Rank Transcendent.”
“We just need to destroy six to ensure that no Bishop Level powers will interfere with us.”
“If we destroy seven, Black River Valley won’t be able to threaten us either.”
“If we destroy all eight…”
“Then we would have successfully made ourselves a massive coffin!” Andre Van interjected bluntly.
Tuck smiled without offering too much explanation.
After all, Tuck’s next task was to turn this place into a “coffin”.
“So…”
“We will have to charge in directly very soon.”
“Just destroying six Magic Doors is enough.”
“Hold on!” Just then, Andre interrupted Tuck’s optimistic exposition.
“You said there are no Sixth Rank Bishops inside.”
“But the Dark Sun Church’s Fifth Rank [Deacons] are also quite formidable.”
“Not to hide anything, I have encountered a Fourth Rank [Deacon] from the Dark Sun Church.”
“Back then, I had just advanced to Fourth Rank and almost died at their hands.”
“But even though I am now a stable Fourth Rank in the Steam Sequence, not weaker than any Fourth Rank Dark Sun [Deacon],”
“facing a Fifth Rank [Deacon], I fear…”
“There are two Fifth Rank [Deacons] who are permanent residents inside, and there are twelve at the Fourth Rank.”
Tuck cut off Andre’s “fear” and stated the facts directly.
“Hiss… this… can we beat them?”
Andre’s eyes started twitching violently.
Two Fifth Rank Dark Sun Servants.
Andre felt that those two Fifth Rank Dark Sun Servants could tear him to pieces while he was still alive.
“I think it would be safer to call a transcendent legion from St. Land,” Andre thought to himself, sharing his most sincere thoughts.
Tuck also knew the strength of those Dark Sun [Deacons].
These Dark Sun Servants were all A Grade Geniuses, or at least top B Grade talents, inheriting the powerful Different Domain Dark Sun Sequence.
In the lands of the Southern Continent, and even across the Star Sea on the East Continent, there were members of the Dark Sun Organization gathering geniuses. The Church of the Dark Sun had no shortage of talent.
“You don’t need to take them head-on, just cause a disturbance inside,” Tuck outlined slowly.
“I’ll quickly destroy all the Magic Doors.”
“After that, we’ll have all the time we need, slowly taking them out.”
“But what if a Bishop from the Dark Sun Church comes after you while you are destroying them!” Andre asked his most pressing concern.
“If a Bishop from the Dark Sun Church dares to come, I’ll dare to die right before his eyes!” Tuck stated calmly.
Andre Van stared for a moment.
After scrutinizing Tuck for a long time, he finally squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth: “You madman.”
