321: Two god-level lord skills

"feather transformation supreme!" Lin Yuan shouted in his heart.

Buzz!

An invisible barrier, seemingly originating from the very Origin of the Heavenly Dao, instantly appeared before Lin Yuan! It was the Heaven-Defying ability granted by the 'Supreme of Myriad Laws' title: "Immunity to one instance of fatal damage"!

Boom—!!!

The "World Devourer Breath," powerful enough to instant-kill any Hunyuan Realm Martial Artist, slammed violently against that invisible barrier! Terrifying destructive energy exploded and rampaged frantically, turning that area into an absolute dead zone of chaotic energy annihilation!

However, that invisible barrier remained as immovable as a universal wall! All the impact of the destructive energy against the barrier was like a clay ox entering the sea; it failed to even create a ripple before being completely erased and neutralized by an incomprehensible, majestic Heavenly Dao power!

In World Devourer's crimson vertical pupils, for the first time, a human-like expression of absolute despair and disbelief appeared! Its strongest strike had been... immune-ed so effortlessly?!

At the very moment its mind faltered, Lin Yuan's punch, which condensed the majestic power of world-creation, blasted through its throat area—where its defenses were greatly reduced due to the breath attack—without any hindrance!

Thump—!!!

A dull thud sounded, so heavy that the entire Chaos Star Core trembled violently!

At World Devourer's massive neck, the dark-gold scales, tough fascia, and thick cervical bones... all defenses were pierced and shattered like paper under Lin Yuan's full-strength punch, which contained the true intent of world-creation!

A massive bloody hole over a hundred zhang in diameter appeared on its neck, and dark-gold blood mixed with shattered internal organs erupted like a volcano!

"Wu..." World Devourer's massive body suddenly stiffened, and that destructive breath came to an abrupt halt. Its crimson vertical pupils quickly dimmed, filled with resentment, fear, and confusion.

Its mountain-like head slumped powerlessly, crashing heavily onto the surface of the star core and splashing up ten-thousand-zhang-high waves of lava. The fluctuations of life quickly receded like the tide.

The Saint-Grade exotic beast—World Devourer—had fallen!

"The... the King is dead?!"

"Run! Run away quickly!"

With their commander fallen, the remaining exotic beast guard unit instantly collapsed. They let out shrieks of terror and despair, no longer caring about attacking as they scattered and fled like headless flies.

How could Lin Yuan let these mobile "slaughter values" go? With a thought, his Chaos Domain expanded to its limit, like a constantly inflating death bubble, instantly enveloping a large portion of the fleeing beasts! Within the Domain, the power of the Return to Ruins permeated, and myriad paths sank into oblivion!

Countless beasts were decomposed and annihilated silently as if thrown into strong acid, turning into pure energy and Dao fragments, which were then frantically absorbed by the devouring power triggered by the primal dao bone.

Simultaneously, the primal divine seal on the back of his hand flickered frantically!

[heavenly dao announcement: Seal-bearer Lin Yuan has successfully cleared the Saint-Grade exotic beast 'World Devourer' and its guard unit in the Chaos Star Core area! His achievements are peerless!]

[Awarded merit points: 800 million!]

[Current merit points: 12.02 billion!]

[Merit Rankings Real-time Update: Lin Yuan (merit points: 12.02 billion) sits high at the top of the rankings!]

The grand voice of the Heavenly Dao echoed throughout the Divine Domain, once again pushing Lin Yuan's name to the forefront. After Lin Yuan re-entered the 903 Divine Domain, his merits had returned to a state visible to everyone!

The 12.02 billion merit points were like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, making all lords who saw the rankings feel suffocated and hopeless.

In the Chaos Star Core area, with the fall of World Devourer and the collapse of the beast tide, the violent energy storms seemed to have calmed down significantly. Nine Chaos Dao Veins still circled at the center of the star core, emitting pure and majestic energy. This place had been completely cleared!

Lin Yuan stood atop the massive corpse of World Devourer, looking down at this strange star core enveloped in Chaos flames. The shattered earth, the flowing lava, and the circling Dao veins all indicated the infinite potential and danger contained here. This would be the starting point of his Divine Domain Foundation!

He took a deep breath and sank his Divine Thought into the primal divine seal on the back of his hand. That divine rank lord token, which flowed with nine-colored divine light and had the character "God" engraved at its core, was slowly activated by his will.

"In the name of I, Lin Yuan, I wield the Divine Token to open a Divine Domain here in this Chaos Star Core!"

Buzz—!!!

The divine rank lord token erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant divine light! The nine-colored divine radiance soared into the sky, instantly dispersing the Chaos haze above the star core and even briefly illuminating this vast and chaotic nascent Divine Domain! A vast, majestic, and supreme will that governed all directions descended along with the light of the Divine Token!

The divine light spread and permeated outward from Lin Yuan, covering the entire Chaos Star Core. The shattered earth began to heal and reshape under the soothing divine light; the violent Chaos energy was organized and tamed, flowing along certain profound trajectories; the nine massive Chaos Dao Veins emitted joyful hums, their core Origins being guided and locked by the power of the Divine Token to become the most powerful energy source for the future territory!

An incredibly massive base made of pure Chaos Divine Crystals slowly rose at the very core of the star core, where the nine Dao veins converged!

Upon the base, countless profound and inscrutable divine runes automatically formed and circulated, emitting a supreme Dao rhythm that suppressed the heavens and evolved myriad laws! This was the core cornerstone of the Divine-Grade territory—the grandmist dao foundation!

[Territory Core—grandmist dao foundation, established!]

[Territory: Unnamed (Divine-Grade Potential)]

[Rank: Level 1 Village (0/100)]

[Core Building: grandmist dao foundation (Unique, Divine-Grade)]

[Territory Traits: Dao Affinity (Dao comprehension speed increased by 1000%); Source of Dao Veins (Energy recovery speed increased by 1000%, territory building, defense, and production efficiency increased by 500%)]

[Current Status: Under Construction (The Lord can invest resources, merit points, or slaughter value for construction)]

With the establishment of the grandmist dao foundation, the two exclusive powers contained within the divine rank lord token also awakened like ancient divine weapons being unsealed, turning into two majestic torrents of information that surged into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness!

[Congratulations on obtaining the Divine-Grade Lord Skill: Infinite Enhancement]

[Skill Description: As a Divine-Grade Lord, you possess the supreme authority to turn the mundane into the miraculous. By consuming merit points, you can perform unlimited enhancement on any item within the territory!]

[This includes but is not limited to: territory building levels, quality of building Materials, power of defensive facilities, resource collection efficiency, potential of troop/hero units, territory trait effects, and even the scope of the territory itself!]

[The enhancement effect depends on the amount of merit points consumed and the basic potential of the target itself. merit points are the very Foundation upon which you forge your supreme divine realm!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Divine-Grade Lord Skill: Slaughter Supremacy]

[Skill Description: The Divine Domain is the battlefield, and slaughter is merit! All units belonging to the territory (including the Lord himself) will, upon killing any target judged as 'hostile' by the Heavenly Dao (primarily exotic beasts and Dark Abyss creatures), receive double merit points and additionally accumulate 'slaughter value.' slaughter value can be used for:]

[Accelerating Territory Construction: Significantly shorten building upgrade, construction, and repair times.]

[Accelerating Cultivation: Units belonging to the territory can consume slaughter value while cultivating within the territory to obtain extra experience/insight bonuses.]

[Accelerating Collection: Increase the collection speed and output of territory resource points (ore veins, herb fields, etc.).]

[Enhancing Troops/Heroes: Rapidly increase their levels, skills, and equipment.]

[Activating/Enhancing special territory facilities. (Note: slaughter value has no storage limit, effects can stack, and it is the core driving force for the rapid development of the territory!)]
