Chapter 423 - 419: Resource War
Just as the lords of various realms reached an agreement and began to familiarize themselves with the surroundings.
A large number of Tier Eight Lords also gathered at a stronghold on the other end of the battlefield.
These lords, unlike those from various realms who were teleported in, all had eyes that were black and red, and their bodies were distorted and deformed to varying degrees, turning into monsters.
"I can feel it, they’ve arrived."
A lord licked his lips, his eyes emitting a sinister gleam.
"Yes, I can feel it too."
"I’ve waited so long, finally they’ve come."
"No matter what, we must take some down with us this time."
The corners of the other lords’ mouths turned up, all wearing cruel smiles.
They.
Were the lords in the Eternal Realm who had yet to be completely corrupted.
And this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms was the last revelry of the Eternal Realm.
So their target was only one.
To kill all the lords who were teleported here to accompany them in death!
"Is everyone ready?"
In the central position, a burly man with fleshy wings growing from his back said in a low voice.
"We’ve been ready for a long time, just waiting for them to take the bait."
"Good."
The man’s eyes turned cold, shooting out two rays of icy light.
"They probably think we’ll launch an attack right from the start, all guarding within the stronghold."
"This indeed can effectively resist our attack."
"But they’ve forgotten, in the face of interests... the human heart is the most fragile."
With that, the man let out a cold laugh, and the bloodthirsty aura on his body surged crazily.
The other lords beside him also had vicious expressions, intense killing intent spreading around.
The key to this battle isn’t the number of people.
But who can first destroy the enemy’s stronghold foundation.
Once the stronghold foundation is destroyed, with no species supplement, it would fall into a great disadvantage, and defeat is only a matter of time.
The lords of various realms had no idea.
Just as they were teleported over, the lords of the Eternal Realm had already started acting, secretly plotting a series of conspiracies.
A black hand was slowly reaching towards their stronghold.
...
On the other side.
Having become familiar with the stronghold environment, Lin You quickly passed through the stronghold exit, coming outside alone.
To his surprise.
Their stronghold was located on the edge of a giant city.
And outside the city was the Aura of Chaos he was familiar with, blocking everyone inside the city.
Were they supposed to explore this city?
With doubts in mind, Lin You immediately let the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon fly high into the sky.
Through spiritual communication, he quickly saw the scene inside the city, much larger than he had imagined.
The whole view was a maze of complex streets and buildings, with no end in sight.
Moreover, these streets and buildings were occupied by Demons, with various large nests built on them.
In some places, even a forest had grown, with vines spreading all around, appearing extremely eerie.
Rather than calling it a city.
It was more like a colossal Demon community.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a sound of something breaking through the air rang out.
From afar, shadows suddenly surged from the courtyard, sweeping into the sky, heading straight for the Plant Dragon.
Lin You’s eyes were as sharp as lightning, immediately identifying the appearance of those shadows.
They were crows with feathers sharp as blades.
[Name: Steel-Blade Black Crow (Ordinary)]
[Race: Wild Beast]
[Level: Tier Eight (SSS-level)]
[Power: 2273 (+2273)]
[Constitution: 2180 (+2180)]
[Agility: 2400 (+2400)]
[Spirit: 2336 (+2336)]
[Skills: Claw Strike, Feather Blade, Pitch-Black Storm]
[Chaos: All Attributes increased by 100%]
[Introduction: Originally an ordinary crow, mutated into a fierce Demon due to the infection of the Aura of Chaos, it will attack any living creatures daring to fly nearby.]
No wonder it’s Battlefield Number 1.
Every Demon encountered is SSS-level.
And this is just the periphery.
However, for lords who reached Battlefield Number 1, this level of Demons doesn’t pose a significant threat.
Especially since Lin You’s species attributes have long reached eight to nine thousand, facing this level of species poses no pressure, no matter how many come.
Just perfect to earn more Magic Energy.
"Deal with them all."
With one command, the three Demon Emperor Dragons and three Demon Queen Dragons in the sky swiftly gathered, directly launching a combined skill.
Instantly, a violent wind blew, sand flying and stones rolling.
A terrifying tornado rose around the courtyard, devouring all Steel-Blade Black Crows charging up, causing countless black feathers to explode in the air.
[Killed Tier Eight Demon, gained 987 Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Eight Demon, gained 1010 Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Eight Demon, gained 1044 Magic Energy.]
...
A series of prompts sounded in Lin You’s mind.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of Steel-Blade Black Crows were annihilated, providing close to 140,000 Magic Energy.
And turned the entire courtyard into ruins, collapsing with a bang.
"So powerful!"
Far away, the lords who had just stepped out of the stronghold were all stunned by this exaggerated scene, eyes widening.
While they didn’t fear Tier Eight SSS-level species, none felt confident in instantly annihilating hundreds.
Especially achieving it unscathed.
Those who knew about Lin You’s identity were better off, at least mentally prepared.
Those who didn’t know Lin You were all startled, each one showing a solemn expression.
"Is he the one they call Lin You?"
On the city wall, the middle-aged man who had previously called for all the lords to unite and cooperate looked surprised, watching Lin You’s distant figure.
"It’s definitely him, matches the description from the rumors," a nearby lord whispered.
"Should we invite him to join us too?" another lord asked.
"We can," the man nodded, "The next time we meet him, we should have a talk. Having him join us will be advantageous for controlling our position."
Where there are people, there will be conflict.
Less than an hour since the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms opened, a large number of lord factions had already gathered in the territory, quietly recruiting lords from various realms to strengthen themselves.
Because they all knew, the resources on the battlefield were limited.
The stronger their own side is, the more resources they can obtain.
Especially the final reward of the battlefield mission, which will definitely be eagerly contested by countless people.
If they can be the first to destroy the foundation of the enemy’s territory, they have a great chance to attain the final reward, soaring is no longer a dream.
So, the factions began secretly competing against each other.
There’s constant friction behind the scenes, only held back by having a common mission.
Lin You was naturally unaware of all this.
Nor was he in the mood to care.
By now, he had already left the range of the territory, gradually delving into the city, sweeping away all demons encountered along the way without leaving any behind.
After all, this battlefield is not like the previous one, where there was a daily beast tide providing abundant magic energy.
To exchange for Faith Treasure Pearls to recruit species, he needed to kill enough demons.
Otherwise, once other lords react, the demon resources will likely be snatched up quickly.
Then, if he wants to gather more magic energy, he’ll probably have to kill the lords on the other side or slay the lords from other realms.
In other words.
This is a battle for resource control.
"Keep moving forward."
Proceeding in this way, after clearing a group of zombies rushing out from nearby buildings, Lin You finally crossed the outermost street to reach a wide main avenue.
This city was similar to their Holy Sanctuary, predominantly composed of ancient-style buildings.
Numerous carriages and stalls were randomly parked on the street, creating a mess.
In a nearby alley, there were vague signs of a few armor-broken human corpses, with large bloody drag marks that were alarming.
In some places, the blood hadn’t even completely dried, giving a full impression of devastation.
This is what the world looks like three months after all fate has been stripped away.
Lin You couldn’t imagine.
Would the Primordial Realm become like this if its fate were stripped away?
Then these lords would be eroded by aura of chaos and transform into mindless monsters.
Therefore, he was very worried that before dying, the lords of the Eternal Realm would go all out in a crazy counterattack against them.
Might even resort to suicidal methods to launch an attack on them.
If that’s the case, he must collect enough resources in advance to exchange for more Faith Treasure Pearls.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, a terrifying roar from afar interrupted Lin You’s thoughts.
He abruptly awoke, looking towards the end of the street.
A group of large two-headed giant lizards collapsed buildings, approaching him rapidly amidst loud rumbling and flying rubble.
[Name: Two-headed Iron Armor Lizard (Ordinary)]
[Race: Wild Beast]
[Level: Tier Nine (F-level)]
[Power: 4600 (+920)]
[Constitution: 4770 (+954)]
[Agility: 4533 (+907)]
[Spirit: 4296 (+859)]
[Skills: Iron Armor Protection, Venom Spray, Eye of Illusion]
[Chaos: All Attributes Enhancement 20%]
[Introduction: Originally an ordinary lizard, mutated into a ferocious demon due to being infected by aura of chaos, with strong defense.]
Tier Nine Demon?
Seeing the attributes of the two-headed giant lizard made Lin You pause for a moment.
As he went further, the Tier Eight SSS-level demon actually evolved into a Tier Nine F-level demon.
Though the attribute enhancement wasn’t too significant, it was a leap in level, boosting resistance to various negative states.
Moreover, this was also a warning.
Since even the outermost areas started appearing F-level demons, wouldn’t the chaos level be higher the deeper they go?
As a result.
Attacking the Eternal Realm’s territory would be a much greater risk.
One doesn’t even know where their territory is located.
Hopefully not in the central area.
"Go and take them out."
No time to think further, with a command, the species beside him and the resurrected summons like Cannibal Flowers formed a tide, charging straight at the two-headed giant lizards.
As long as it wasn’t a Tier Nine demon above A-level, and with not too many numbers, they didn’t pose much threat to Lin You.
With a single move, the group of advancing lizards was knocked aside by Cyan Gang leading the way, slicing off several lizard heads with one sword.
Other plants provided long-range support through the Ancient Tree Legion, bombarding relentlessly, vines dancing, blasting the aggressive lizard group apart into chaos.
"Buzz——"
However, at this moment, a buzzing sound reverberated.
The retreated two-headed giant lizards suddenly opened their layered compound eyes, spreading invisible ripples.
The once fierce attacking Ancient Tree Species and Cannibal Flower Army were instantly frozen in place, all appearing disoriented.
It was indeed the Eye of Illusion skill of the two-headed giant lizards!
No one expected this skill was so powerful that even Cyan Gang, with such high attributes, fell into confusion, stopping their attack.
Taking this chance, all the two-headed giant lizards opened their mouths, suddenly spraying a large amount of dark green venom, splattering onto the front-line species.
"Sizzle——"
The unguarded Cannibal Flower Army was instantly corroded into puddles of thick liquid, even the shield attached by territorial sacred artifacts didn’t help.
But the good news was.
Other species were unaffected.
Relying on their robust physical attributes, the Ancient Tree Legion and Cactus Soldier Species withstood the venomous assault, swiftly recovering from the confusion.
"Attack!"
A loud shout, the species troops rose again, launching a fierce attack on the lizard group, killing and pushing forward simultaneously.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, they reached the entrance of a gigantic nest.
