Chapter 242: Chapter 240: Talent Recruitment
“Kill them!”
“Stop these demons!”
“We absolutely cannot let them break through!”
“Roar—”
Cries accompanied by roars echoed continuously throughout the Floating Islands.
More and more demons surged out of the fissures, crazily attacking the lords’ species defense line.
Wherever one looked, both in the sky and on the ground, all were figures locked in fierce combat.
And in a corner of the platform.
A few Tier Eight Lords gathered together, directing species to constantly resist the charge of a large group of Tier Eight Demons, even among the demon group, were mixed in many large Tier Eight Leader Demons.
“It’s not working, these Leader Demons are too fierce! We can’t hold on much longer!”
“Hang in there! My Burst Skill will be ready soon!”
“Hold the line, don’t let them break through the defense.”
“More and more Leader Demons are coming!”
The few lords cried out repeatedly, gradually failing under the demons’ fierce onslaught.
Seeing more and more species fall, they became even more anxious, feeling the urge to retreat.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a loud noise rang out.
The few lords’ hearts skipped a beat, as they heard a terrifying sound flying towards them.
Without having time to react, a pea exuding blazing fire had already brushed past them, heading straight for a frenzied Tier Eight Leader Giant Serpent in the distance.
“Pfft!”
A splash of blood exploded.
A huge hollow appeared at the seven-inch weak point of the giant serpent, causing its movements to halt instantly.
A one-hit kill!
Only to hear a thunderous crash, the massive body of the Tier Eight Giant Serpent fell, and flames roared from the wound.
“This…”
The few Tier Eight Lords gasped, involuntarily stepping back half a step.
With just one hit, a Tier Eight Leader was instantly killed.
Though they could also manage to kill, they could never do it so effortlessly, their hearts welled up with boundless awe.
Because if the attack had targeted them, they would definitely have been the ones to die!
Who on earth has such power?
Could it be a Tier Nine Lord?
Unfortunately.
The demon army before them left them no chance to gawp, roaring once more and charging at them, forcing them to focus on responding.
On the other side.
On a platform several hundred meters away from the Central Island.
Lin You looked on in surprise at the giant serpent corpse lying motionless.
He hadn’t expected the power of the Big Cannon, enhanced with Destructive Dragon Flame, to be so terrifying, able to pierce the Scale Armor of a Tier Eight B-level Leader Demon in a single shot.
You should know.
Even with the moss enhancement, the cannon’s basic Spiritual Attribute was only 1780 points.
Yet with layers of skills stacked on top, it reached such an outrageous extent, simply a long-range killer weapon.
And with the aura boost, its Physical Attribute rose alongside, easily offsetting the backlash damage from Qigong Deviation.
Then after waiting about 30 seconds, he had basically recovered.
Faster than Cyan Gang’s Barbaric Roar recovery.
During this recovery time, Lin You kept moving across various Floating Islands, sniping Tier Eight Leader Demons on the Central Island.
Only targeting those with low defense and exposed weak points.
Each kill granted about 0.5% Origin Progress, fluctuating with the demon’s strength up or down.
As for Tier Seven, the Origin gained was too little, not worth his consideration.
Don’t say.
Using this method, it took him just half an hour to kill thirty-five Leaders.
Natural Origin collection progress surged directly to 17.8%.
At this rate, less than a day might fill it completely.
This demon uprising is indeed a good thing.
“Roar!!”
Suddenly, a shocking roar emerged from the fissure.
Lin You, just setting up the cannon to kill demons, was interrupted by the sound, looking over in shock.
Then he saw a colossal creature with nine heads appear slowly through the fissure.
Accompanying it.
Came a suffocatingly terrifying power, sweeping around.
“Tier Ten Demon! Everyone, spread out!”
From the central platform came a cry of alarm, and the lords’ expressions changed drastically.
Simultaneously, two cultivator figures soared into the sky, their aura vast as the sea, heading straight for the nine-headed monster.
“Boom!”
Space shattered as the two cultivators violently clashed with the nine-headed monster.
The terrifying power actually pushed the monster back.
The surrounding space also shattered completely, turning into a whirlwind sweeping the entire Floating Islands.
Lin You failed to react in time, getting blown meters away by the gust, landing on the platform.
Tier Ten!
These must be Tier Ten cultivators!
Lin You was shocked; it was his first time seeing Tier Ten cultivators in action, and he hadn’t expected their power to be not weaker than Tier Ten Lords.
Even just the aftermath left him unable to stand, falling to the ground.
This level of combat, he couldn’t possibly participate in!
Especially after his previous experience of being swept into spatial turbulence, he became even more cautious.
Without daring to think further, he took a deep look at the distant Central Island before directly teleporting away, returning to his own territory.
The sounds of battle in his ears suddenly became clear.
“Phew—”
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Lin You couldn’t help but sigh in relief, finally relaxing.
Opening the area channel, he saw everyone talking about the demon uprising.
“Damn! Scared me to death, a Tier Ten Demon just appeared in the Holy Sanctuary, lucky I ran fast.”
“I also just teleported back, probably can’t go to the Holy Sanctuary for a while.”
“What a scam, I was just farming the Secret Realm, and then all the demons went berserk. Almost died in there, my B-level Secret Realm, was just about to clear it!”
“B-level Secret Realm? You’re amazing, I can’t even pass a C-level!”
“Please take me with you! I also want to pass the B-level Secret Realm, I’m versatile and can warm the bed!”
“Newbie question, what’s the Holy Sanctuary? What’s a Secret Realm?”
“…”
It seemed that many lords, like Lin You, had teleported back to their territory to take refuge.
Moreover, because of this incident, those usually quiet Tier Seven and Tier Eight Lords all showed up, making the whole chat channel lively.
No choice.
They could still deal with ordinary demons, but Chaos Demons were a bit more difficult.
Especially those with deeper infection levels, their attributes were quite abnormal.
This made Lin You realize deeply.
Lords can enhance their strength with various treasures, and demons can also strengthen themselves through other means.
“Forget it, I’ll just stay in the territory for the next few days. Anyway, crafting Tier Ten Equipment will take some time.”
Closing the chat interface, Lin You directly carried the newly obtained Tier Ten materials, heading towards the Dwarf Tribe, handing them to Mageon.
“Come back in five days.”
Mageon took the materials and walked into the underground forge of the Dwarf Race without looking back.
As he was about to disappear, he added: “Don’t forget the grain you promised me.”
“Don’t worry, would I give you less?”
Lin You chuckled helplessly, then turned to leave.
Using this time, he took a stroll through Yellow Sand City, checking the progress of various tasks, and looked into Wei Gang’s training.
It was noon by the time he returned to the territory.
He casually opened the territory management interface to take a look.
With development over this time, Yellow Sand City’s daily revenue had stabilized at around 100,000, leaving about 50,000 after all expenses.
The Power of Faith, due to the settling of the new residents, had slightly increased, reaching about 33 points daily.
Taking into account the Faith Treasure Pearls he had used before, he had almost 2,000 points of Power of Faith.
If this progress continued, he should reach the maximum value soon.
What he lacked now was a large amount of Magic Energy to create enough Symbiotic Moss.
Otherwise, with his Tier Seven strength, facing those High-tier Lords would still be too constricting.
But the problem was, with the demon uprising at the Holy Sanctuary, he couldn’t go there, and the Main City was in a temporary truce after the great war, making contact with the Primordial Evil Realm’s Lords impossible.
He would have to wait until the demon uprising passed.
Lin You didn’t think much about it, opening the building interface again to check.
During this time, he had been shuttling between the territory and Holy Sanctuary, and about 5,000 units of ore had been mined.
He thought for a moment, then directly spent 2,000 units of ore to upgrade the mining site and Magic Tower to Tier Seven.
This would further enhance mining efficiency and allow the Magic Tower to produce Tier Seven Enchantment Scrolls, which he could sell during his free time.
As for the remaining 3,000 units of ore, Lin You checked the basic buildings of the affiliated territory.
[Building Name: Tower of Knowledge]

[Daily Consumption: 100 Magic Energy]

…
Previously, Yellow Sand City’s population was too small, making these two buildings unnecessary.
But now it’s different.
Yellow Sand City had already developed into a medium-sized city with a population of 100,000, definitely hiding many talents awaiting discovery.
“I’ll go with these two.”
Mumbling, Lin You opened the construction interface, selected these two buildings for construction in the inner city of Yellow Sand City, and directly upgraded them to Level Three with the remaining resources.
As a beam of light flashed, a tall tower surrounded by runes and a gigantic tavern suddenly appeared within Yellow Sand City, drawing the attention of numerous passing residents and visiting cultivators.
“What’s this building?”
“Seems like a place to learn advanced skills.”
“Advanced skills? Can my low-level tailoring improve to mid-level?”
“It should be possible. Looks like combat skills can be learned too!”
“Is that so? Let’s go check it out!”
…
Amidst the exclamations, people eagerly flooded into the Tower of Knowledge to study various skills.
The tavern was the same.
Residents passing by discovered that numerous recruitment notices were posted, and many immediately went in to register their information.
Then Lin You discovered in surprise that he could view the basic information and professional skills of these residents.
Just like Xue Changgui and Wei Gang!
