Chapter 436 - 432: Windfall from the Heavens
Death Devouring.
It can swallow skill effects within a specified range, converting them into its own energy to heal itself.
This is precisely the Heaven-Devouring’s signature skill!
Chu Zhenyue clearly didn’t anticipate that Lin You still had this move. As the majestic Ancient Tree Legion charged violently, his expression changed dramatically.
"Long Snake Array!"
With a shout, the Tunnel Armor Guards beside him collided their shields, forming a defensive wall that rotated rapidly from the inside to the outside around the center, like a swimming giant snake.
Immediately thereafter.
Transparent snake scales formed by energy appeared, enclosing the entire team within.
The entire team indeed transformed into a golden giant python!
"Boom!"
The Ancient Tree Legion led by Cyan Gang slammed hard against the snake scale protection.
Yet that terrifying impact did not break open Chu Zhenyue’s Long Snake Array; instead, it was deflected, the rotating snake scale defense dissipating the attack.
"Entangle!"
Lin You didn’t pause, issuing an order, and immediately numerous vines erupted from the ground where Chu Zhenyue’s species team was located, binding those rotating Tunnel Armor Guards.
The originally moving big snake suddenly slowed down.
The golden snake scales also dimmed a bit.
"Screech——"
At this moment, the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon in the sky let out a long cry, their massive bodies soaring high, unleashing a combined skill, rapidly circling in the opposite direction above the battle array.
The next second.
A violent gale rose, crashing down from the sky.
"Change formation, Square Round!"
Chu Zhenyue remained unfazed, shouting deeply, wielding his longsword to slice open the vines, rescuing the Tunnel Armor Guards.
Thereafter, the Tunnel Armor Guards crossed two by two, using their shields as shells to enclose lighter, more agile species inside and then connecting with each other to form a solid iron bucket.
The sweeping gale passed through but could not move them an inch!
"Stopped it?"
Lin You was incredibly surprised, didn’t expect Chu Zhenyue to have so many tricks, deploying Humanoid species battle tactics to perfection.
Absolutely among the strongest Tier Eight Lords he had ever seen.
Just as he was thinking this.
The gale dissipated, the Barbaric Roar ended, and the Plant momentum waned.
Seeing this, Chu Zhenyue immediately changed formation.
"V-shaped Array!"
With a command, the iron bucket-like species team suddenly spread out, defending against plant assaults while moving swiftly.
Tunnel Armor Guards positioned on the sides to absorb damage, cavalry, and swordsmen constructed a sharp-pointed formation in the middle.
After a moment of clashing, weapons in the hands of all species emitted golden blade glows, seemingly slicing the air, raising the momentum abruptly.
"Charge!"
Chu Zhenyue pointed his sword forward, launching an assault towards Lin You’s position.
The entire massive team turned into a sharp arrow, breaking through the Ancient Tree defense and charging into the rear amidst Mushroom bombardment.
As the Ancient Trees that were hit, they were lacerated by golden blade light, opening deep and unfathomable wounds.
It appears to be a battle array enhancing attack, also featuring knockback effects.
"Block them!"
Lin You’s face darkened as he issued orders to the surrounding plants.
Upon hearing this, the Mushroom Demon King quickly led the bombing Mushroom Legion in retreat, clearing way.
Then a series of sounds broke the air as countless vines shot out from the ground, creating a densely woven defensive net ahead.
Simultaneously, the Life Curtain and Guardian Barrier opened up, protecting the Plant Legion within.
The aggressive charging battle array collided with the defensive net instantly, halting the forward momentum.
"What?!"
Chu Zhenyue’s expression changed, not expecting his strongest assault battle array to be blocked so easily.
But unknown to him.
Lin You had long activated the Desperate Secret Treasure effect of the Symbiotic Moss, converting all attributes to Constitution.
Though it lasted only 10 seconds, it was entirely sufficient to block his offensive.
This immediately placed Chu Zhenyue in a heavily encircled predicament.
"You’ve lost."
Lin You said indifferently.
As his voice fell, a large area of red light emerged again, sharply enhancing all plant attributes.
A shocked Chu Zhenyue saw his face change dramatically, completely unanticipated that Lin You’s explosive methods would recover so quickly.
In panic, he immediately switched to a defensive stance, retreating rapidly.
Yet what awaited them were the Ancient Tree Legion led by Cyan Gang and Lin You’s rear units forming an encirclement, fiercely attacking them directly.
Immediately thereafter, the Big Cannon sprang into action, shooting penetrating Dragon Flame Bullets from its mouth.
"Hold the stronghold!"
Feeling the terrifying power contained within this attack, Chu Zhenyue dared not hold back, initiating the Secret Treasure effect of the Tunnel Armor Guards, unfolding shields one by one, wrapping them, halting the retreat.
This was an ability sacrificing movement ability for a species Secret Treasure reducing damage by 50% collectively, and also Chu Zhenyue’s proud defensive tactic.
Under the augmentation of this Secret Treasure, absolutely no Tier Eight Lord could breach his defense.
As long as he withstood Lin You’s explosive phase and dragged until others arrived, he’d ultimately win!
Thinking of this, Chu Zhenyue smiled.
"Boom!"
Sparks shattered, exploding on the shield, simultaneously accompanied by a crisp "crack" sound.
Chu Zhenyue’s smile froze instantly.
The Dragon Flame Bullet continued unabated, directly penetrating a row of Tunnel Armor Guards in front, instantly annihilating!
How could this be!
Chu Zhenyue’s pupils constricted, horrified, watching the fallen Tunnel Armor Guards, instinctively retreating.
Yet at this moment.
A flash of cold light struck, aiming at his back.
It was Shadowless who had long been waiting!
"Puff!"
Blood splattered.
At the critical moment, Chu Zhenyue relied on his extraordinary awareness to dodge Shadowless’s fatal strike, a bloody hole pierced through his shoulder.
The intense pain turned his face ashen, staggering to one side, taking cover behind the species.
"Attack!"
Unexpectedly, Lin You gave him no chance to react.
With a command, all the plants suddenly burst forth, bombarding his remaining species fiercely.
Without the support of the battle arrays and secret treasures, Chu Zhenyue had no way to defend against the plant’s attack, and in no time, everything fell apart, with species collapsing in groups, becoming fodder for various plants.
"Spare... spare my life! I can give you anything you want!"
Chu Zhenyue cried out fearfully, his expression one of panic, utterly devoid of dignity.
"Do you think I would spare someone who wants to kill me?"
Lin You sneered coldly, his arm gradually lifting up.
Then, under Chu Zhenyue’s stunned gaze, countless Wooden Thorns began to condense in the air, enveloped in an eerie blue ice.
"This is... the Power of Rule! How can you use the Power of Rule!?"
Chu Zhenyue’s eyes widened in horror, a voice like a rooster being strangled emerging from his mouth, the last trace of reason in his heart finally crushed by fear.
In the next second.
The Wooden Thorns crashed down, completely engulfing him and the surrounding species.
After a bout of piercing screams, there was silence.
[Killed Tier Eight Lord from an Alternate Plane, gained 300 million Magic Energy, 2 Battlefield Merit points, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]
The cold notification echoed in his mind.
Lin You paused after hearing it, not expecting to gain so much Magic Energy.
Originally, he already had 300 million Magic Energy, and with this additional 300 million, it directly reached an astonishing level of 600 million.
It seems this guy must have exploited other lords’ resources quite a bit previously.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin You noticed a few glowing items beside Chu Zhenyue’s corpse.
Items actually dropped!
In delight, he swiftly stepped over to the body, picking up all the items.
Counting carefully, there were five items in total.
A Humanoid Type Territorial Sacred Artifact, an SSS-level Species Secret Treasure, presumably exchanged by Chu Zhenyue using battlefield merits.
There was also a scroll, precisely the Species Upgrade Scroll he was collecting!
This guy truly deserved to be the leader of the Realm Alliance, rich beyond measure.
But what surprised Lin You the most were the remaining two items.
[Name: Origin Crystal Core]
[Grade: Rare]
[Introduction: Upon use, the range limit of the Origin Space is increased by 1000 meters.]
...
[Name: Faith Treasure Pearl (Top-level)]
[Grade: Rare]
[Introduction: Upon use, directly gain 5000 points of Power of Faith.]
!!!
After viewing the attributes of both items, Lin You’s eyes widened.
Can this be obtained from the exchange interface?
He didn’t recall seeing these items in the exchange interface.
And even if randomly drawn, it’s unlikely to draw two rare items so extravagantly.
Could it be...
This is the reward for destroying the position’s cornerstone?
If that’s the case, it makes sense.
Yet even so, Lin You was immensely excited.
Faith points, combined with the 5 Faith Treasure Pearls he just exchanged, totaled exactly 10,000 points.
In other words.
He could finally level up to Tier Nine!
This was simply an unexpected pleasure, a windfall from heaven!
Taking a deep breath, he finally calmed his restless heart.
Then looked at the Sacred Artifact and Secret Treasure.
[Territorial Sacred Artifact: Master of Command (Humanoid Type)]
[Level One: Battle Array Effect +5%, Duration +5 seconds]
[Level Two: Battle Array Effect +10%, Duration +5 seconds]
[Level Three: Battle Array Effect +15%, Duration +5 seconds]
[Level Four (Unlocked): Territory Skills "Master of Command"]
[Master of Command (Passive): When activating battle arrays, all species attributes increase by 10%]
[Traits (Territory): Battle Array Effect +30%, Duration +15 seconds]
[Traits (General): Sacred Artifact Effect increases with Origin Space range enhancement.]
...
[Species Secret Treasure: Charge into Battle]
[Treasure Type: Special]
[Secret Treasure Level: SSS-level]
[Treasure Effect: Upon initiating a charge, speed increases by 40%, with a 40% probability of repelling the enemy.]
...
Unfortunately, both items can only be used by humanoid species.
When he returns, he can exchange them for other treasures.
Stowing away the items, Lin You summoned all species back to the Origin Space for healing, then hastily rode the Demon Emperor Dragon away from the marketplace.
This battle can be said to be thrilling.
A slight carelessness could have resulted in being besieged by thousands of lords and dying.
Fortunately, he had enough tricks, and with the interference of the Iron-Armed Ape King, he finally managed to slay the isolated Chu Zhenyue amidst the chaos.
Thanks to this guy for delivering so many resources to him.
His plan to upgrade to Tier Nine was finally perfectly realized, only needing to return after the battle ended to upgrade directly!
