Chapter 288: Chapter 286: Corrupted Cathedral
“Quick! Stop it! It’s running that way!”
“Careful! It’s going to attack!”
“Quick, use defense skills! Block it for me!”
In a corner of the Land of the Dead, several Tier Seven Lords from the Wuyang Realm were shouting urgently, commanding species to encircle a group of Tier Eight Undead Dogs and two Tier Eight Leaders.
Their strength was not weak.
Basically, everyone had hundreds of Tier Eight around them, and they had all activated the Origin Space, significantly enhancing their power.
The demon group was being continuously exterminated under the encirclement of their species.
Even the two Tier Eight Leaders were roaring in anger, unable to break through their defense, covered with wounds.
“Haha, very good! Killing these two leaders will enhance our Power of Origin again.”
“Be careful, don’t let them retaliate when dying.”
“Don’t worry, there’s no interference from other realm lords here, nothing will happen.”
Several lords, joyful, began to gradually tighten the encirclement, clearing ordinary demons around the leaders.
Any lord capable of coming here was not weak.
They were very confident in their strength.
Moreover, they were now five people together; even if they encountered Tier Eight Lords, they had enough power to fight, not worried about interference.
Thus, gradually, their gaze fell on the two leader demons, ready to strike anytime.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled noise.
On a rock a hundred meters away from them, a red beam suddenly exploded and flashed above their heads, directly shattering the head of one Undead Dog Leader.
[Killed Tier Eight Leader Demon, gained 10,000 points of Magic Energy.]
The pleasant prompt sounded the next second after the kill.
The lords of Wuyang Realm finally reacted, their expressions changed instantly.
“Careful! There’s someone else!”
“Damn it, the leader demon was killed by them!”
“Who is it! Dare to snatch our Wuyang Realm’s demon, get out!”
In no time, the whole scene became chaotic.
They never expected anyone would ambush nearby and kill their prey from such a distance.
In shock, they immediately summoned their species to guard themselves, vigilantly watching the direction of the attack.
But what they saw was just an empty rock and a few sparks flying in the air, where was the figure?
No need to say.
The one who made the move was naturally Lin You and his Big Cannon.
Using the Big Cannon’s Deadly Sniper for remote sniping really proved successful countless times, snatching many leader kills.
Not giving those lords any chance to react.
Upon hearing the prompt, Lin You had already ridden the Demon King Dragon far away, leaving the scene.
Though his strength was not weak, facing several Tier Seven Lords and hundreds of Tier Eight species at once, he still didn’t have much assurance.
After all, these lords had activated Origin Space, with their species enhanced by the territory, unlike the weaker ones encountered before.
Even though his species had the Symbiotic Moss enhancement, they were still Tier Seven, ultimately a bit lacking in attributes compared to proper Tier Eight.
So it was better not to take this risk.
After killing this leader demon, his Origin Space finally expanded to a size of 20 meters, and the World Tree Seedling grew another leaf.
What he cared about the most was the racial talent, which rose to the extent of 2.4%.
It seemed.
The aura effect was not exponential growth but increased according to the percentage of Origin Space size, thus the difference was not apparent early on.
“Let’s go, keep looking for prey.”
Closing the interface, Lin You directly commanded the Demon King Dragon beneath him to continue searching around the Land of the Dead.
Why was it called the Land of the Dead?
Because the demons appearing in this area are basically primarily of the Undead Type.
Moreover, the whole region is covered with a strong Death Qi, which has greatly increased the number of undead demons.
Relatively, the number of Tier Eight Leader demons has also increased.
The Undead Dog Leader just now was already his 22nd leader killed, more than the total of the previous six days.
At this rate.
It might not take long to fill the Origin Space.
“Huh? What’s that? Stop for a moment.”
Suddenly, Lin You’s gaze was drawn to a building resembling a church in the distance.
There’s actually a church in the Main Demon Plane?
Lin You was amazed internally.
The church appeared worn and tattered, corroded with Death Qi, marked with countless wounds.
But traces of human life could still be faintly seen.
Just like the previous pyramid!
Could it be?
This Main Demon Plane once had human, or human-like, civilization?
With curiosity, Lin You didn’t hesitate, immediately commanding the Demon King Dragon to land on the ground, slowly approaching the church.
This church was large.
Perfectly situated at the foot of a concealed mountain, surrounded by a row of rusty iron railings over five meters high, forming a huge courtyard at the foot.
And that somewhat Western-style church stood majestically and solemnly at the courtyard center, its grandeur unchanged despite its decay.
Even the surrounding courtyard garden faintly showed traces of former lushness, remnants of flowers and plants everywhere.
Unfortunately, such a courtyard was currently surrounded by a large group of Walking Dead undead, making it nearly impossible to approach.

…
[Name: Corrupted Undead Priest]
[Race: Undead]
[Level: Tier Eight (A-level)]
[Power: 1820 (+1274)]
[Constitution: 1900 (+1330)]
[Agility: 1900 (+1330)]
[Spirit: 2350 (+1645)]

[Chaos: All attributes increased by 70%]
[Introduction: Originally a priest of the church, mutated into a mindless undead creature due to unknown infection from death qi.]
The attributes of ordinary demons are typically only about seventy to eighty percent of the current level’s upper limit, similar to newly recruited species.
However, leader demons have attributes that are close to the maximum value of the current level, differing based on attack traits.
As for lord demons, their attributes are doubled on this basis, which constitutes the level attribute gap between demons.
Lin You did some calculations.
The average attributes of these two types of demons are above 3200.
And his Tier Seven Ancient War Tree with Symbiotic Moss attributes can basically reach around 1900 points.
Including the Spirit Tide Aura 10%, Divine Fragment 20%, Territorial Sacred Artifact 16% all attribute bonus.
And the Forest Domain 5%, racial talent 2.4%, Secret Treasure 4%, Cyan Gang 20% Constitution bonus.
It totals to 3370 points of Constitution, just enough to match A-level ordinary demons.
This doesn’t even account for the 30-second burst of Barbaric Roar and the triggering effects of the Secret Treasure.
Of course.
This is only a Constitution bonus.
In terms of other attribute bonuses, his plants are weaker, only the Tier Eight Royal Species can reliably suppress these demons.
A battle might result in significant losses.
After all, he only has about five hundred species, while the church has over a thousand Tier Eights, not to mention the possible presence of leaders or even lord demons inside.
“Nevermind, let’s draw them out and kill them slowly first.”
Ultimately, Lin You decided to explore this church.
Not for any treasures inside.
But for the skills of the undead priests lingering in the depths.
Exactly!
This is exactly what he had always been looking for, the undead summoning and undying domain skills of the undead type!
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon them in such a place.
It’s worth noting that he currently has 10 Devouring Flower entities.
Aside from the two that had already been upgraded to Tier Eight, the others are just randomly copied junk skills, far inferior to the Undying Domain, unable to fully unleash the self-destruction Secret Treasure’s potential.
With this in mind, Lin You immediately gestured broadly, summoning all his plants.
Amidst a flash of light, the undead monks outside the church’s iron bars noticed them and charged at them with roars.
“Go! Block them!”
Lin You quickly gave orders to the Ancient Tree Legion at the front, arranging them into a line, forming a solid wall.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
A continuous series of thuds, as a large swathe of undead monks clashed with the Ancient Tree Legion.
In the next second, a green glow emerged from the ancient trees.
The Natural Barrier effect activated!
Each hit increases Constitution by 4%.
In an instant, the defense of the Ancient Tree Legion increased to match the strength of the undead monks, fully blocking their attacks.
Some even, after taking numerous hits, triggered the passive effect of the Secret Treasure, forming a transparent shield around them.
Ignoring all negative statuses for 10 seconds, and reducing received damage by 40%!
The corpse poison initially sprayed on them was immediately nullified, only inflicting damage the first time.
“Well done!”
Lin You loudly praised, the SSS-level Secret Treasure’s effect against undead monsters was even better than he had imagined.
In just a brief encounter, the undead monks were forced back.
Then, under the frenzied attack of the other plants, they started to dwindle in numbers, reincarnating into one Tier Eight Immortal Flower after another.
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a large poison rain of corpse poison enveloped the entire Ancient Tree Legion.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
Wisps of white smoke arose from the ancient trees.
Even with the blessing of the Secret Treasure, large chunks were corroded, slowing their movements.
Lin You abruptly raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see the undead priests, drawn to them without him noticing, each raising their magic staff to cast spells.
This acid rain was obviously their doing.
The power was unexpectedly strong.
“Group Healing!”
Without hesitation, he immediately commanded the Flower Spirit Legion led by Lingxi to perform Group Healing.
In an instant, the Light of Nature shone, enveloping all the injured ancient trees.
At the same time.
A circular shield appeared around the ancient trees, blocking the acid rain falling from the sky.
It was the effect of the “Healing Protection” Secret Treasure.
Negates 30% of a single damage!
Moreover, every Elf Master performs Group Healing, putting a layer of shield on all ancient trees.
The shields continuously appeared and dissipated, barely keeping up with the poison rain, preventing further corrosive damage.
“Great opportunity, attack!”
Lin You seized the opportunity, immediately ordering the nearby ranged species and several royals to start targeting the approaching undead monks.
The Mushroom Demon King in the sky gleefully threw down large mushrooms, blasting groups of undead monks away.
