Chapter 163: Chapter 119: Far Ahead, the Teleportation Gate Evolves

He muttered to himself, a sense of vigilance rising within him.

’After all, once a Teleportation Gate evolves to become Three-Eyed, Tier Three monsters can appear.’

But then... he glanced at the items in his backpack and gradually relaxed.

Shen Xing continued to command his Soldier Types, clearing out the monsters crawling out of the lava.

Time slowly passed, and his points continued to grow.

16,000 points...

17,000 points...

18,000 points...

Around ten o’clock at night, he was already ahead of second place by nearly a thousand points.

With such a large gap, given Lachlan’s rate of point gain, it would take at least half a day for him to catch up.

And now, there were less than two hours until the leaderboard officially closed.

But no one dared to declare that Shen Xing had first place secured.

After all, no one could say for sure if the other top players had any other trump cards up their sleeves.

It was even possible that a dark horse would emerge at the last moment and unseat all three of them.

Naturally, Shen Xing wasn’t one to celebrate prematurely.

"We need to stay steady, keep the right mindset, and try to widen the gap to two thousand points before midnight."

He sat on the back of Fried Chicken, took out a piece of Moonlight Bread, and leisurely watched the show while snacking.

The battle below was basically a one-sided affair.

After all, with his three great generals—Hellish Roar, Hei, and Black Arrow—they were invincible as long as no Tier Three Expert Level powerhouses appeared.

Or so Shen Xing thought.

But just then, the ground suddenly began to shake.

It was faint at first, but the tremors quickly spread within a short time, causing the entire cavern to tremble violently.

"RUMBLE! RUMBLE RUMBLE!"

The scorched earth abruptly split open with web-like cracks. Lava instantly poured into them, and loose stones rained down from the cavern walls.

The Flame Greatsword began to spin faster, causing the entire pool of lava to accelerate with it, forming a massive vortex.

And at the center of the vortex, the glowing Teleportation Gate at the bottom of the pool was faintly revealed.

Shen Xing saw that on the gate’s lintel, which originally had only two eyes, a third eye was slowly taking shape!

"Just as I thought. It’s evolving into a Three-Eyed Teleportation Gate."

His expression tightened. He was just about to order Hellish Roar to destroy the Teleportation Gate directly.

But at that very moment, a massive, dark-red arm shot out from the still-forming Teleportation Gate!

The arm, bathed in lava, seized the spinning Flame Greatsword.

In that instant, a terrifying aura swept out.

It was as if a Demon God from the depths of hell had awakened. An invisible pressure, as real as a physical weight, slammed down on everyone present.

Except for his three great generals—Hei, Black Arrow, and Hellish Roar—all the other Soldier Types were paralyzed by the sheer intimidation.

Even Boss Level Soldier Types like Blood Roar and Dahou were frozen stiff, struggling to breathe.

"So it was you ants who were slaughtering my subordinates?"

The deep, evil voice rose from the bottom of the pool, yet it also seemed to come from another world, carrying a domineering coldness.

"Fine. I shall take you as the first sacrifices for my descent upon this cursed land."

As the voice faded, the giant hand exerted its strength, plunging the Longsword into the bottom of the boiling lava pool and sending up monstrous waves.

Then, it grabbed the hilt and began to slowly squeeze its way out of the Teleportation Gate.

Hellish Roar looked up at Shen Xing in the sky, tightening his grip on his weapon. He then glanced at the Hell Teleportation Gate, his meaning obvious.

Now was the best time to destroy the Teleportation Gate, before that monster fully emerged.

At this moment, the necklace on Shen Xing’s chest was glowing faintly, continuously releasing a cool aura that resisted the terrifying pressure.

He had also intended to immediately send someone to destroy the Teleportation Gate.

But as Shen Xing gazed at the monster’s colossal body, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

He raised a hand, signaling Hellish Roar and Hei to remain calm and wait.

"RUMBLE... RUMBLE RUMBLE..."

The monster was still squeezing its way out of the Teleportation Gate.

Moreover, its Power seemed so immense that the newly formed Three-Eyed Teleportation Gate couldn’t bear the strain, and more and more cracks appeared on its lintel.

"CRACK! CRACK!"

The distinct sound of shattering echoed out.

In just a moment, the monster’s upper body was fully revealed.

It had a head as large as a mountain, with a pair of curved demonic horns. Its face was covered in dark-red scales, revealing only a massive mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Its eyes, in particular, burned with fire. It felt as if a mere glance from them could set one’s blood ablaze.

Focusing his gaze.

[Name: ???]

[Level: ???]

[Potential: ???]

[Skills: ???]

...

This time, even the name was a string of question marks, indicating that the opponent’s strength was far beyond his detection range.

In other words, a Tier Three powerhouse.

And not just any Tier Three, but likely one with at least Three-Star Boss Level Potential.

"Heh heh... you’re not trying to stop me? You’re just going to let me descend?"

The Curved-Horned Demon’s gaze swept over Hellish Roar and the others. "Seeing as you know your place, I’ll grant you a quick death."

The cold, domineering voice rang out, as if it had already pronounced everyone’s death sentence.

But just then, a voice suddenly called out from a corner of the cavern.

"Hey! Demon! I’ve got something big to show you!"
