Apotheosis

Beneath the black pillars of smoke was a large city; the gathering place of the Elemental race.

Spots in the Deep Space such as this were constructed quite simply and crudely, keeping with the forms of a primitive tribe. Elder Xue had introduced some unique construction techniques to the Elemental race and helped them build an exquisite city. However, it had been decimated.

The Deep Space races present in the huge square had their ways of spreading news.

In fact, they had already done so when the Elemental race had climbed up to two hundred feet in the Levitation Tower. They hoped Elder Xue would decipher the mysteries of the Levitation Tower, but also wanted all the information they could get from him. This made it very difficult for them to correctly choose their time of attack on the Elemental race.

As the Deep Space races hesitated, waiting for their opportunity, Elder Xue and Geoffrey entered the tower and reached a height of two hundred feet. News of this mobilized them. No matter how unintelligent they were, they knew they would have to make a move as soon as possible.

Before Geoffrey had gotten to the top of the Levitation Tower, the five races had already set off to attack the Elemental race.

At the center of the gathering place was a wooden pavilion with a narrow underground passage beneath it. In the innermost secret basement, sat the white-haired Elder Xue.

Bang, bang, Bang...

A muffled sound could be heard from above.

"What is that... noise?" Elder Xue asked.

He was still a fourth-grade creature in nature. Although he had been in the Deep Space for a long time, he was limited to his own life level, and his understanding and awareness of his surroundings was still very unrefined. He heard the huge muffled sound, but was unable to tell its direction.

A man of the Elemental race in a red robe said shakily, "Elder Xue... They are attacking the pavilion..."

Elder Xue sat motionless and murmured, "So soon?"

Truthfully, he had a feeling this day would come when he planned to go to the Levitation Tower with Geoffrey.

"Elder Xue, I'll get you out through the tunnel!" yelled that man of the Elemental race.

Elder Xue had built a complicated system of tunnels below the ground to make it more convenient for the Elemental race to escape.

d a powerful wave of energy coming from the sky. By the time they saw it clearly, it was only a hundred feet away from the golden-haired Cold Ape.

The golden-haired Cold Ape sensed that something was wrong and was about to run, but it was too late.

Boom!

Geoffrey's burly body plummeted like a mountain, smashing the golden-haired Cold Ape into the soil.

Everything else in Elder Xue's eyes were made up of rings, but he saw Geoffrey as clear as day.

A huge sense of relief washed over him when he saw Geoffrey and the Heavenly Ring Staff in his hand. "What... What are you doing here? You should go back to the chaos to find Master Kincaid..."

"I can't find a way back," Geoffrey said with a smile.

"But it's too dangerous here. You shouldn't have come," insisted Elder Xue.

"That's not an issue!"

Geoffrey bellowed with a confident grin.

He grabbed the Heavenly Ring Staff and slammed it into the ground twice. His own power began to drain rapidly and was absorbed by the Heavenly Ring Staff.

He had discovered this ability of the Heavenly Ring Staff when he was at the top of the Levitation Tower. The staff needed to absorb power to be a help to him.

The staff had taken a lot of his power this time. His limbs felt weak and the Heavenly Ring Staff then released an intense pressure

that swept through almost everything. The members of the Elemental race and the other races then felt as if their legs had been filled with lead. They all collapsed face first into the ground, unable to get up again.
