Chapter 368: Chapter 309: The Red Moon Reappears! (Request for Monthly Pass)

Blue Star, Ember Secret Realm.

In the empty training ground, there was only one figure, clad in briefs, bare-chested and sitting cross-legged.

His muscles weren’t overly exaggerated but still outlined a clear eight-pack, and from his sturdy body billowed a red mist—the manifestation of surging, wave-like vital energy, roaring and humming as if it were prying at the very fabric of space.

This handsome young man was none other than Fang You.

Inside the sealed training ground, there was no need to wear the white robe that signified his role as a tutor; after all, training would cause sweating, especially when practicing body-forging techniques.

The handsome young man suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant flash of golden radiance flickering within his pupils before slowly receding.

’Gluttonous Body Sculpting (Entry: 99%)’

"I’ve finally reached the entry level; this body sculpting skill really does have its special aspects."

"Besides the straightforward physical enhancements, similar to basic swordsmanship, cultivating it to a higher level can improve one’s control over their body."

Mastering basic swordsmanship to an expert level affords one especially precise control over their body, allowing quick mastery even when strength surges uncontrollably, which he defined as ’Body First Tier Control’."

To cultivate it to the MAX level is to achieve ’Four Tier Control’.

Powerful body control, acute environmental perception, and even developing an ability akin to ’inner sight’, allowing one to discern minute changes in their surroundings with their eyes closed.

All of these significantly enhance one’s combat power.

The tutor Fang was able to come and go seven times amidst the Mysterious Evil waves not just because of his brute strength.

But after that, no matter how many basic skills he cultivated, he could not advance further.

Until now, the epic skill ’Gluttonous Body Sculpting’ had given him hope.

"Not only that, Gluttonous Body Sculpting also has a characteristic that allows one to accumulate a vast amount of energy inside their body by indulging in food and drink beforehand."

"Simply put, a Superhuman usually eats about two to three days’ worth in one sitting, but after cultivating Gluttonous Body Sculpting, one could consume a week’s, or even a month’s worth at once. After such a feast, if one does not engage in battle, they can go without food for half a month; if in battle, they possess an energy reserve far surpassing that of normal times."

"As the level of Gluttonous Body Sculpting increases, the energy that can be stored grows."

"This epic foundational skill is truly great; it’s just that..."

Gurgle gurgle—

The growling of his stomach echoed like a tractor engine, he was so hungry it was starting to hurt.

Fang You’s expression slightly altered, and he immediately took out a large quantity of high-energy food from the pouch of Heaven’s Net, his hands becoming blurs as he shoved the food into his mouth.

After a while, he finally eased the hunger somewhat.

"Using the cultivation card can exempt me from some of the consequences, but hunger will still strike... if anything, it’s even worse."

After all, normally one would have to eat the flesh of a gluttonous beast during cultivation, which already provides some energy replenishment.

However, with Ember-style cultivation, one must prepare a large amount of food in advance.

Don’t have it?

Then one would have to crawl out of the training ground step by step like the criminal Xing Jinglei did back in the day, frightening quite a few people.

With the example of Xing Jinglei before him, tutor Fang had long since stuffed a large quantity of food into the pouch of Heaven’s Net.

It isn’t a big problem.

He had consumed the skill fruit more than ten days ago, and while refining himself in the crucible of cultivation, he also attempted Gluttonous Body Sculpting on his own. It is extremely difficult to reach the entry level for an epic skill, which normally requires a substantial amount of time.

Like the refinement in the crucible, brother Black Blade still has not reached the entry level to this day.

However, tutor Fang could mooch off someone’s expertise-level skill and with the aid of the skill fruit, entry became a lot easier.

He rested for a while, ready to break through ’Gluttonous Body Sculpting’ in one go, when suddenly, his expression changed.

He immediately donned his white robe, stepped out in one move, and appeared above Blue Star.

Here,

The Dawn District had its dawnlight, the Grey Mist Area was shrouded in fog, and everything seemed as usual.

Except that at the end of the horizon, a terrifying sense of oppression was looming over everything.

He could see more clearly than anyone else.

"They’ve arrived!"

The Scarlet Emperor, or some other machination by the Evil God camp!

From the beginning, Fang knew this day would come, inevitable.

Only,

It’s a pity they couldn’t wait for the complete construction of the planned 16 base cities. There was no helping it, as relocating the populace and constructing base cities all required time.

This was the result of all countries moving forward together.

Apart from that, the layout of the base cities’ defenses required a considerable effort from him, Ember. Don’t think that withstanding the super waves appears effortless; without those Strange Crystal Guns or the ever-growing vines serving as walls, then...

The defensive lines would still be torn apart by the Mysterious Evil waves after holding out for only a short time, and third and fourth-tier Awakeners would be overwhelmed in the waves as well.

The speed at which these base cities have been erected is almost at the limit.

"It’s impossible for everything to go exactly as one wishes."

"The defensive ring of Blue Star may not be up yet, but I have prepared a great deal; the lights of ten thousand homes will not be extinguished."

Before it came, he felt somewhat nervous, somewhat apprehensive.

But seeing that kind of dread spread overhead, he became... calm.

Just do it!

...

...

Ember, War Command Center.

"Sound the highest-level alarm, and notify all parties."

"Huh? The highest-level alarm?"

"This is an order from the tutor..."

"Yes!"

The entire command post sprang into action, as Gou Ping’an stepped out of the building, gazing at the still radiant sunny sky and letting out a soft sigh.

Beside him, Fan Anyuan lit a cigarette.

"War has broken out again."

"Yes, it’s unsafe once more, I hope we can crush these disasters, these unstable factors, once and for all!"

"We all hope so."

Fan Anyuan rubbed his thumb and forefinger lightly, grinding the cigarette butt in his hand into dust that scattered on the wind.

He looked in the direction of the main urban area,

"When disaster strikes, all sorts of devils and demons are bound to emerge."

"Let’s go, we must ensure stability in the rear."

Out of the clear blue sky, dark clouds suddenly drifted in.

Raindrops pattered down.

The sound of pouring rain blurred the view, just like the uncertain future of Blue Star.

...

...

"Attention all residents, attention all residents, due to the imminent arrival of a new round of disaster, please follow the instructions of the staff and orderly proceed to the nearest shelter."

"I repeat, please orderly proceed to the nearest shelter."

The piercing alarm resounded over Shui Ze Base City, Imperial Capital Base City, Jiangnan Base City, and so on, over every base city, including those still under construction, which also carried out emergency evacuations and sought shelter.

In the past, this would inevitably cause panic.

But since the Era of Mysteries, people had gradually adapted to this rhythm. Before this, some country’s citizens were unwilling to heed commands, unwilling to evacuate or seek shelter, but after lessons of blood and tears, they’d learned their lesson.

They all went to the various shelters according to the guidance.

Oulu Continent, Western Base City.

Now, here was a base city that was a hodgepodge, a grand integration of various countries, with numerous political powers and mixed forces, but under the heavy pressure of doomsday, they could still cooperate relatively closely with one another.

At this time,

Inside the West Europe Base City command center, high-ranking members of the Night Watchers organization like Yule furrowed their eyebrows.

"Is the catastrophe that will end the world finally upon us?"

"The Envoy of the White Tower once said that the destruction of the world is a foregone conclusion—the more we struggle, the more we will hasten the outbreak of disaster."

"Today might just be the day of fulfillment."

A look of worry appeared on the faces of the leaders.

They hadn’t fully believed the words of the Envoy of the White Tower, only that they were uncertain about Fire of Exile’s reliability in their hearts.

But they had no choice, they could only place their bets on it.

"Think positively, maybe it’s just a disaster like a super tidal wave."

"If we could hold off once, we could do it a second time."

"The Saint of Law has also broken through to the Superhuman Rank of the Fourth Awakening. With his support, our Sunset Country will surely gain more say within this West Europe Base City."

"Now, let’s follow the demands of Fire of Exile, command and arrange quickly, guide the civilians to the shelters. This time, we can’t afford any mistakes."

...

Shui Ze Base City, where envoys from various Oases were gathered. When the broadcast sounded, those recluses from the Oases couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"It seems that oppressive intuition wasn’t a misconception; disaster is indeed coming."

"But where? And why is Blue Star so certain?"

"The rain has started."

"The day is gradually darkening."

The base city’s residents were orderly and quickly heading to the various shelters, while envoys from the Oases naturally would not join them.

They stood in the gradually emptying buildings, or simply ran up to the rooftops, facing the wind and rain, silently observing the changes in the skies.

Behind those dark clouds, it seemed as if a hint of scarlet was gradually peeking out.

...

...

Blue Star, shrouded under a haze of grey mist everywhere.

In deep mountains, deserts, abandoned buildings, filthy lakesides, and so on, different places were now witnessing the same ceremonies being conducted.

The cultists, clad in gray robes, black robes, and the like, chanted unintelligible words, their faces showing fanatical zeal.

Those bizarre sounds echoed in the mountains but went unnoticed by anyone.

When the world descended into chaos, when order was lost, they hid in unpopulated wildernesses where they became indistinguishable, like droplets of ink that merged into filthy, turbid rivers and lakes; even if one squinted through a magnifying glass, it was difficult to single out these cultists.

Even Fang You could not distinguish them from the rest amidst the muck.

Blue Star was small.

But Blue Star was also vast.

At this moment, across the vast lands of Blue Star, in those perilous wastelands even Awakeners dared not traverse, the sacrificial ceremonies were drawing to a close. One after another, frenzied cultists leapt into boiling blood pools, allowing those bizarre, unintelligible sounds to reach a crescendo.

Scarlet appeared.

Beams of scarlet light pierced the firmament, and the sky woven from clouds and grey mist took on a blood-red hue at that moment.

Behind the radiant red, the clouds slowly shifted.

A bewitching, eerie, indescribable moon that seemed to contain endless terrifying power, a Red Moon, suddenly appeared, hanging high in the darkened sky of Blue Star.

The Red Moon had returned!

This time, it did not appear just above one or a few cities but was visible from any place on Blue Star, whether it was day or night there.

It reminded many survivors of the terror they had felt under the dominion of the Red Moon.
