Chapter 204 - 203: The Gate of the Other Shore Opens
Chapter 204: Chapter 203: The Gate of the Other Shore Opens
“What’s going on?”
“Boss Lin You, what happened?!”
A moment later, Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong also woke up from the Illusion Realm, shouting in shock as they ran outside.
You could tell.
The Illusion Realm created by the Other Shore Flower wasn’t particularly strong.
It just caused them to temporarily lose their way to facilitate a sneak attack.
What Lin You hadn’t anticipated was the Other Shore Flower itself.
It unexpectedly went berserk on the last day, choosing the time when the lords were least prepared, from night to dawn.
It caught everyone by surprise.
Judging by the situation, many lords might have suffered greatly.
“Be careful, this thing can suck human blood.”
Lin You shouted back at Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong, then hurriedly went to the plants, directing them to fend off nearby attacks while observing the movements of the Other Shore Flower’s main body.
As expected.
After sucking fresh blood and flesh, the petals of the Other Shore Flower turned more vividly crimson.
Even the accumulating red clouds in the sky became deeper, dyeing almost the entire sky blood-red, as if on the verge of dripping blood. The scene was grotesquely extreme.
Through the red clouds, Lin You faintly saw a crack in the sky, a massive rift connecting heaven and earth.
Its appearance was remarkably similar to the crack above the Primordial Realm, but much larger!
The discovery shocked him deeply, arousing a terrifying suspicion in his mind.
Just as he was about to think further.
Suddenly, a loud crack sounded, and the rift widened.
In an instant, winds and clouds surged violently.
A blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky, appearing between heaven and earth, causing the entire battlefield to tremble intensely.
Meanwhile, a notification echoed in every lord’s mind.
[Attention lords, the Source of the Plague has appeared, the poison mist zone will rapidly shrink.]
[Soon, the battlefield will be reduced to half its original size, prepare yourselves accordingly.]
The shrinking of the poison zone was commonplace for the lords.
Thus, it didn’t elicit much reaction.
What nobody anticipated was the immediate follow-up notification after the poison zone alert ended.
[Attention lords, the Other Shore Gate has opened, a large influx of Chaos Qi is pouring into the battlefield.]
[Under the infection of Chaos Qi, all Demons in the battlefield will transform into Chaos Demons, proceed with caution.]
…
“Whoa! Chaos Demons? Are you kidding me!”
“How could Chaos Demons appear on the battlefield?!”
“What’s up with the Other Shore Gate?”
“Damn! Those Zombies’ Attributes have indeed enhanced!”
The lords cried out endlessly, shocked and scrambling due to the sudden notifications, trying frantically to defend.
The only relief was when the sun rose; the stalks of the Other Shore Flower finally ceased attacking and swiftly retracted.
Giving them a chance to catch their breath.
“Let’s go have a look over there!”
Lin You decided promptly, telling Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong as he quickly gathered the Plant Legion to leave the court, hastily heading toward Jinluan Hall.
On the way, they indeed encountered many Chaosified Zombies, whose Attributes had all increased by 20% since yesterday!
Tier Seven were manageable; human wave tactics could still push through.
But not Tier Eight; they could only rely on Lingxi’s Cyan Rattan to kill them one by one, greatly slowing the progress, even his Death Flower kept dying and resurrecting.
It took them a grueling two hours to cover a mere ten-kilometer distance.
As they reached the square before the hall, other lord teams started appearing from all directions.
However, instead of clashing directly, they were profoundly shocked by the scene before them, standing wide-eyed.
“What is this!?”
One lord asked, looking up at the sky toward the terrifying rift that nearly covered half the sky, puzzled and uncertain.
“Why does it look… like a crack appearing when Fortune is deprived?” Another lord exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, all the lords, including Lin You, were shocked, confirming their suspicion.
This crack.
Indeed, it was the crack above the continent appearing after Fortune was deprived!
In other words, the battlefield they stood on might actually be a continent where all Fortune had been deprived!?
This realization astounded Lin You.
He had always believed that with complete deprivation of Fortune, a continent would instantly collapse and disappear into endless void.
But never imagined, it could be far more tragic than that.
It doesn’t let you die instantly.
Instead, it lets you gradually perish amidst disaster and torment!
So, the Zombies they encountered on the way, were they residents of the Capital of Dayan Kingdom, turned mutants after their Fortune was deprived?
How desperate they must have been!
“Will our Primordial Continent also end up like this if its Fortune is thoroughly deprived?”
Luo Lei’s voice trembled.
He finally understood why those Zombies knew to target them lords first.
Many of these Zombies might very well have been lords themselves when alive.
Just like them!
Not only Luo Lei, but even Xu Xiangdong’s face turned a bit grim, almost pallid.
For anyone, seeing themselves turn into Zombies, hunted down by lords from other Realms like monsters, was more unbearable than death.
“So this is the hidden secret of Battlefield One?”
Lin You murmured silently, his gaze gradually falling on the magnificent hall in the square’s center.
If this was the precursor of a certain Realm, then the identity of the King of Dayan here was clear as day.
Thus, Lin You didn’t hastily approach the palace, instead, choosing to observe from afar at the edge of the square.
Sure enough, before long, a group of lords couldn’t wait any longer, and took their species up the steps, heading into the palace.
Seeing this, several other lords were eager to follow, fearing the treasures might be snatched first by others.
Before long, these groups of lords disappeared from everyone’s view.
“Ah——”
“Ah——”
Suddenly, the palace echoed with piercing screams.
The other lords, who originally intended to approach the palace, suddenly experienced a jolt in their hearts and immediately stopped in their tracks.
Then, the sounds in the palace quickly faded away, as if nothing had happened, and the surroundings became eerily silent.
“Are… are they all dead!?”
A lord who was about to ascend the steps swallowed hard, his eyes full of shock and horror.
Even those self-assured lords, who had Tier Eight species with them, instantly abandoned the idea of entering the palace, choosing to observe from outside, while secretly being on guard, fearing some monster might suddenly charge out from inside.
As time passed, more and more lords arrived, making the entire palace square lively, and lords of various races began to appear.
For example, the Sea Race, Demon Race, Beast Race, Spirit Race, and others, each possessing completely different physical traits from the Human Race.
There were even many races that had never been seen before, whose names were unknown, making it all dazzling to behold.
However, the most attention-grabbing among them was Lin You.
It’s unavoidable, because the Cyan Rattan beside him was simply too large!
Coupled with the extremely exaggerated number of species, it was hard not to notice.
This also led to many lords discussing him quietly in private.
“He must be that Lin You who is ranked first, right? It’s the first time I’ve seen such a monstrous species.”
“And those Cannibal Flowers, there are probably over a thousand of them!”
“This quantity is too exaggerated!”
“How can a Tier Six Lord have so many species?”
“We should be careful later and definitely not get close to him.”
“What are you afraid of? There are so many lords here, and many have Tier Eight species. If a real fight occurs, he might not necessarily have the upper hand.”
“I agree.”
Indeed.
At this time, on the palace square, there were quite a number of lords with Tier Eight species.
At most, they were apprehensive of Lin You, but not to the point of fearing him.
After all, many of them had never seen Lin You in action, and their understanding of him stayed at the level of rumors.
Rumors, after all, tend to be greatly exaggerated compared to reality.
No matter how formidable you are, you’re just one person; can you withstand attacks from so many Tier Eights?
So quickly, everyone’s attention shifted from Lin You back to the Jinluan Hall.
Yet they failed to notice that, among the crowd, many lords who had personally witnessed Lin You in action were all filled with dread, withdrawing hastily.
“Damn! That freak actually came too.”
“Quickly, let’s go. We mustn’t let him target us.”
“A bunch of idiots, do they really think having more people guarantees victory?”
“Who cares, it’s best if all of them die!”
These lords, especially those who had survived group battles with Lin You by luck, were exceptionally aware of his terrifying prowess.
Definitely not something that can be defeated by mere numbers.
Where would they dare to stay? One by one, they retreated from the hall front square and simply gave up on contending for the ultimate treasure.
Just then, a pillar of light descended from the sky as expected, crashing onto the battlefield.
[Lords, the battlefield’s ultimate treasure, “High-level Faith Treasure Pearl,” is about to appear.]
[By using the High-level Faith Treasure Pearl, you can directly gain 1000 points of Power of Faith.]
[The treasure will manifest in half an hour until the battlefield closes.]
…
“Wow! The ultimate treasure has become 1000 Faith Points!?”
“Wasn’t it just 500 points originally?”
“What’s going on? How did the treasure upgrade?”
“1000 Faith Points, it might take me a year to gather that much! That’s too powerful!”
“No! Something’s not right! That treasure seems to be heading into the Jinluan Hall!”
Amidst the exclaims from the lords, expressions shifted rapidly from excitement over the upgraded rewards to astonishment.
Because the light pillar’s landing spot was remarkably in the very center of the Jinluan Hall!
Under the stunned gaze of countless eyes, it crashed down and vanished into the palace.
This left everyone stupefied.
They glanced at each other, faces shifting between light and dark.
However, at this moment, a terrifying, immense pressure suddenly erupted within the palace, sweeping towards the surroundings.
“Boom!!”
With a violent explosion, the entire ground shook fiercely.
The Jinluan Hall, wrapped in the roots and stems of the Other Shore Flower, started to crack, with fissures spreading upwards continuously.
“Not good, the Jinluan Hall is going to collapse, run quickly!”
The lords’ faces changed dramatically, and amidst the shouts, they hurriedly evacuated with their species to the edges of the square, all staring in shock at the steadily collapsing wall pillars.
Even the hall doors began to collapse rapidly with thunderous sounds.
Simultaneously, a resounding voice blasted from within the palace.
“A hundred years, a whole hundred years, the Other Shore Gate is finally opened by me. I can finally leave this cursed place, hahaha…”
Deafening laughter, accompanied by a haze of dust from the palace, swept outward.
A figure, surrounded by blood aura and covered with tentacles, slowly rose into the sky, gradually coming into view of everyone.
The vast, terrifying aura and suffocating sense of oppression instantly sent a shiver through every lord’s heart.
“Tier… Tier Ten!!”
