Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Emperor of Europe Possession
“Could there still be a leader demon?”
Seeing this sudden change, Lin You was shocked.
This scene, he had only seen when clearing out demon gathering sites.
Because in large demon gathering sites, there would appear leader demons of a higher tier than the nest level.
Could it be.
This so-called secret realm is actually a gathering place of demons above tier seven?
As if to respond to Lin You’s speculation.
No sooner had he thought of this, the energy formed by those stone golems all gathered, slowly transforming into a massive demon statue over twenty meters tall.
[Name: Lava Terror Demon (Leader)]
[Race: Demon]
[Level: Tier Eight]
[Power: 2500 (+1750)]
[Constitution: 1800 (+1260)]
[Agility: 1800 (+1260)]
[Spirit: 2400 (+1680)]
[Skills: Lava Impact, Terrorizing Pressure, Demon Fire]
[Chaos: All Attributes increased by 70%]
[Introduction: A creature living in hell, possessing flying ability. When in dormant petrification state, its defense power and recovery ability greatly increase.]
Indeed.
Just as Lin You guessed.
A leader-level demon appeared, and its attributes were extremely overpowering.
Power and spirit exceeding four thousand.
It was simply not something ordinary tier seven lords could handle.
Those lords capable of eradicating A-level secret realms were indeed formidable.
If it weren’t for the 20% all attributes boost from his divine fragment, it probably would be difficult to handle, and could even lead to severe losses.
But now…
Lin You smiled confidently.
If the previously overwhelming horde of demons was somewhat problematic, then dealing with this single entity actually seemed easier.
After all, under the blessing of various auras, the highest attribute of his four royal species had long exceeded 5000. A mere tier eight leader demon was no different from being served up on a platter.
“Go ahead, it’s time for you to shine.”
Without further thought, Lin You directly instructed the four royals beside him.
The eagerly anticipating Lingxi Mushroom Demon King and Cyan Gang immediately broke formation and rushed into the valley.
Cyan Rattan followed closely, leading a mighty plant army surging in.
“Roar!!”
Seeing them approach, the Lava Terror Demon let out a thunderous roar, opening its mouth to spray a column of flames straight towards the entrance.
The terrifying pressure even caused the air in the entire valley to tremble violently.
But soon, the thick-skinned Cyan Gang charged to the front, crossing its arms before it, while activating its hardening skill.
Bang!
A violent explosion echoed through the valley.
Cyan Gang was knocked back several meters by the flame pillar, a large gap torn open on its arms, yet it barely managed to block this powerful strike.
Meanwhile, the Lingxi Staff swung, unleashing the power of nature.
Countless wooden thorns converged, shooting towards the Lava Terror Demon from all directions, piercing it into a beehive.
The mushrooms of the Mushroom Demon King followed closely, tracing an arc through the air as they landed at the Lava Terror Demon’s feet, triggering a series of violent explosions.
Lava Terror Demon roared continuously, and suddenly burst into flames, directly burning the wooden thorns to ashes.
Then it flew high into the sky, black demon fire clusters conjured out of thin air, crashing down below.
“Boom!”
The entire ground shook violently, instantly transforming into a sea of black flames.
Admittedly, this skill posed quite a threat to Lin You’s species.
Under caution, the Lingxi, Cyan Gang, and Mushroom Demon King quickly retreated outside the valley.
Following closely, Cyan Rattan swung its vines madly, each one soaring upwards.
Seizing the moment when Lava Terror Demon was drained after casting its skill, it wrapped around its body, pulling it down fiercely.
With a loud “bang,” the enormous body of the Lava Terror Demon slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up plumes of dust, even causing the ground to depress.
“What a chance, finish it off quickly!”
Lin You wouldn’t miss this opportunity to strike the enemy when it’s down, he immediately had Lingxi and the others swarm forward, unleashing skills freely onto the Lava Terror Demon.
The Lava Terror Demon roared in anger, snapping vine after vine, even erupting into raging flames all over its body, yet it still couldn’t break free from the binding, becoming more wrapped up in vines.
Under the strategy of the four royal species of exchanging injury-for-injury, its aura weakened, and its struggle grew feebler.
Finally, with one resentful roar, it fell under the combined attack of the royal species.
[Killed Tier Eight Demon, gained 1000 Magic Energy.]
[Congratulations, successfully eradicated Tier Seven A-level secret realm, gained Tier Seven Territory Essence x1]
The delightful notification resonated in Lin You’s mind.
Lin You paused for a moment and then immediately became excited.
Tier Seven Territory Essence!
After clearing the secret realm, he actually gained Territory Essence!
Just like a demon gathering place!
Though it’s only one piece, it was completely unexpected and incredibly thrilling.
Because with this, he has another channel to obtain Territory Essence, finally able to upgrade more Tier Eight species.
Yet, before he could stay excited for long.
A few more notifications quickly followed.
[Secret Realm Cleanup Success, Assessing Difficulty…]
[Assessment Completed, Difficulty Rating: 667]
[Congratulations, successfully ranked on the secret realm personal rating list (Tier Seven), current rank: 103]
The difficulty rating turned out to be slightly higher than expected.
Yet it barely ranks around one hundredth place anyway.
At the moment these prompts appeared, the corpse of the Lava Terror Demon rapidly dissipated, gradually condensing into two radiant objects floating above the ground.
Secret realm rewards!?
Lin You’s spirit was immediately invigorated, casting aside miscellaneous thoughts and bringing the plants to those two objects.
Enveloped in a golden stream of light, a sphere and a crystal in an explosive form caught his eye.
Lin You recognized the sphere as one used specifically for gaining experience.
Upon picking it up and taking a look, it was indeed so.
[Experience Ball (Tier Seven): Can enhance a specified Tier Seven and below species by 100 experience points. Guaranteed to be obtained after eliminating a secret realm.]
The experience ball he had seen before could only grant experience to Tier Six.
This one directly advances to Tier Seven, which is quite good.
Though he has the Forest Sage and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, removing worries about species experience.
Other lords don’t have these, so there’s no worry about luring them in.
Moreover, this is something guaranteed after destroying the secret realm, could it be the legendary safety net?
Lin You laughed helplessly.
Unsure whether to call it considerate or the bane of bad luck.
It seems that this secret realm is a great place for species leveling, actually rewarding such things.
Securing the experience ball, Lin You then turned his attention to the strange crystal.
It resembled a bomb that was about to explode but was frozen, with a spark on its side.
Carefully picking it up.
An informational interface followed, appearing before him.
[Species Secret Treasure: Final Strike]
[Treasure Type: Passive Skill]
[Treasure Level: A-level]
[Treasure Effect: Grants the species’ summoned creatures the skill “Final Strike”; upon death, there’s a 25% chance to self-destruct, causing massive damage to surrounding enemies.]
[Introduction: A treasure for enhancing species, usable within the species base, applicable to a single species type for enhancement.]
…
Species Secret Treasure!
And it’s an A-level species secret treasure too!
Lin You was astonished, not expecting his luck to be so good, getting something he longed for on his first try.
And it’s even a treasure related to summoned creatures.
Could there be first-clearing rewards for this secret realm?
Or did he suddenly inherit the Emperor of Europe’s luck?
Final Strike.
The name alone sounds extraordinary.
And its effects are indeed remarkable.
It allows specified species’ summoned creatures to self-destruct on death, causing massive damage.
This is a perfect treasure for rush lords of the Undead and Insect types.
As everyone knows, these two types’ summoning abilities are among the best.
Even his Undying Domain skill was stolen from a Tier Nine Undead Lord, and he must admit his luck is incredible.
If you put this out on a stall, it might attract a frenzy among the Undead and Insect lords.
“A great item, perfect for strengthening the Cannibal Flower species.”
Lin You, filled with joy, observed the treasure for a while in his hand before storing it into his personal space.
After checking around to ensure nothing was missed, he recalled the plants to his territory and rode on the Demon King Dragon back towards the secret realm entrance.
Without demon obstruction, his traveling speed increased significantly.
In less than twenty minutes, he had returned to the secret realm entrance and teleported away.
Whoosh!
The light shone brightly.
Lin You reappeared on the floating island platform.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon with a long time until sunset.
However, due to significant losses among his ordinary species, he didn’t re-enter the secret realm but checked the ranking stone tablet he visited previously.
As expected.
His name had already appeared on the Tier Seven scoreboard.
But being at the bottom, it didn’t attract much attention.
What surprised him was how quickly the rankings had changed.
[Secret Realm Personal Leaderboard (Tier Seven)]
First place: Wen Yanming [Mechanical Type] SS-level 814
Second place: Jiang Shennian [Insect Type] S-level 720
Third place: Shen Yuan [Plant Type] S-level 711
Fourth place: Sun Daoting [Undead Type] S-level 707
…
The ranking changes were indeed significant.
It’s as if the lords were rallying their strengths, with multiple individuals clearing S-level secret realms at once.
The first place was a surprise SS-level newcomer, far ahead of other lords, yet from the unassuming Mechanical Type.
The competition is incredibly fierce.
Keep in mind that an SS-level secret realm has demons with attributes enhanced by 90%.
Clearly, the Mechanical Type is impressive.
It might be among the top in Tier Seven.
“Looks like I must work harder.”
Lin You murmured silently to himself.
Although this leaderboard is merely for lords to gauge secret realm difficulty and has no rewards,
it instilled a sense of urgency in Lin You.
The continent is full of talents, and a slight neglect could lead to being left behind.
This is just the visible part; who knows how many more geniuses are hidden on the continent.
He also needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
