118: Chapter 118 Golden Radiance

The process of clearing the 12th Layer of the Void Lands went very smoothly.

Back when Lin Xiao was at a Level 3 territory, he could already handle the 12th Layer of the Void Lands outside Jing Chu's territory, let alone now.

As each Meteorite exploded at the edge of the territory, millions of Void Monsters were instantly wiped out, turning into slaughter points.

After the Void Lands in all four directions were cleared, Lin Xiao harvested one billion slaughter points in one fell swoop.

"Continue."

Without any hesitation, Lin Xiao opened all the regional treasure chests.

When he was at a Level 3 territory, he did not dare to act rashly regarding the 13th Layer of the Void Lands.

But now, did he need to avoid their sharp edge?

[You opened a regional treasure chest and obtained the following items: 96 million Source Crystal... Random Hero Token (perfect-grade).]

[You opened a regional treasure chest and obtained the following items: 93 million Source Crystal...]

...

After opening the four regional treasure chests, the best item was just a perfect-grade Hero Token.

The 12th Layer of the Void Lands only had Fourth-order Lord Void Monsters at most, so getting a perfect-grade Hero Token was considered good luck.

However, for Lin Xiao, it was nothing.

Besides that, after converting the Void Lands, the territory size also experienced a surge, becoming 11,000 square kilometers.

Time passed quickly.

"Finally, there is only one day left until the first month's ranking settlement."

Inside the Lords Mansion, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

In these past few days, the strength of the territory had been growing rapidly, several times stronger than when it had just upgraded.

Now, even the Epic Grade Troop Types summoned last had attributes exceeding the Fourth-order limit, numbering over 100,000.

The fastest-cultivating Wind Shadow Archers, Black Armor Soldiers, and Dragon Cavalry had attributes as high as 300,000.

Compared to the Human Race Troop Types, the Burning Sky Flame Dragons and Frost Giants lacked the assistance of the enlightenment mountain, so their growth rate was a step slower, with the strongest having attributes of about 200,000.

Compared to the Troop Types, the growth of the heroes was even more astonishing.

The Burning Sky Flame Dragon King Ares, who had been summoned only a few days ago, had attributes reaching over 200,000, not a whit inferior to the strongest Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

The attributes of the Human Race heroes were even higher.

Qian Ying, Tu Lie, and Zhong Yue had similar attributes, all around 400,000, approaching 500,000.

The most exaggerated one was undoubtedly Jiang Yao.

With the two S-grade skills, Outstanding Talent and Martial Dao Mastery, coupled with the enlightenment mountain, the Intermediate Spirit Gathering Array, the chaos source qi concentration comparable to a Level 5 territory, and countless cultivation resources, her growth rate was terrifying to the extreme.

In just a few days, she had grown to a million attributes, with one foot stepping into the threshold of the Sixth-order Lord.

Such a growth rate was truly terrifying.

If the speed of Lin Xiao's territory's strength growth were to be announced, it would likely shock countless people.

After all, the further one went, the greater the difficulty of cultivation.

How could the difficulty of Fourth-order cultivation compare to the Third-order, not to mention the Fifth-order.

For an ordinary Fourth-order Lord, if they wanted their subordinates' heroes and Troop Types to grow their attributes to the Fourth-order limit, it would take at least a month, and that was with all resources maxed out; if resources were lacking, it would take even longer.

Of course, to maintain the high-speed growth of his heroes and Troop Types, Lin Xiao had also paid a huge price.

At this point, the countless spoils he had obtained in the First Source Sea, as well as the investments from the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce and the Lord Association, had basically been exhausted.

Once he reached a Level 5 territory, it would be impossible to have such a terrifying growth rate again.

"Out with the old, in with the new."

Lin Xiao was quite calm; as long as he had enough strength, obtaining resources was not a difficult task.

"It is about time to prepare to upgrade to a Level 5 territory."

Lin Xiao stopped thinking about it.

Everything was ready; before the first month's ranking settlement, he wanted to make one final sprint.

To improve his evaluation as much as possible.

Following Lin Xiao's order, those captured prisoners were immediately killed.

[The invasion has ended, you have won, settlement starting.]

[You obtained a War Chest (Gold).]

[You wiped out all invaders, you obtained the information of the opposing Lord, as well as a revenge opportunity.]

...

[The invasion has ended, you have won, settlement starting.]

...

The System notification sounds rang wildly in Lin Xiao's ears.

In these past few days, there were dozens of armies that invaded his territory.

Having dealt with them all, Lin Xiao immediately obtained dozens of Gold-grade War Chests, as well as the opposing Lords' information and revenge opportunities.

"My actions must be fast."

Lin Xiao knew very well that the Four Great Races were trying hard to determine his territory's coordinates.

The reason they hadn't located him yet was probably because the number of targets to check was too large, requiring a long time to check them one by one, and his luck was really good, which was why he hadn't been exposed yet.

But good luck would not accompany him forever.

Lin Xiao did not want his promotion to be interrupted, therefore, he must complete the territory upgrade before the opponent determined his territory's coordinates.

Three Lords Hearts.

Opening the invasion panel and looking at the dozens of bright red revenge targets above, Lin Xiao was about to click on one of them when his palm suddenly paused.

Revenge, kill the opposing Lord, and logically obtain their Lords Heart.

It looked like there was no problem.

However,

Lin Xiao suddenly thought of a possibility: could there be traps in the opposing territory?

His expression changed constantly.

"Is it possible that they still haven't located my territory, besides my good luck, there is another reason, which is that they diverted part of their power to set traps, waiting for me to walk right into them?"

Thinking of that possibility, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a chill.

In the First Source Sea, he could fearlessly step into traps because he knew the strength of the opponent and knew they couldn't do anything to him.

But this was the Second Source Sea; what if he went for revenge and bumped into a Level 5 Lord, or even a Sixth-order Lord, lying in ambush on the other side?

Lin Xiao could not deny the existence of this possibility.

Although some of the people in the armies that invaded him didn't look like they were aimed at him, who knew if the other party was acting.

"Even if the probability is not high, it is not worth the risk."

Lin Xiao made a decision instantly; he would not choose any of these dozens of revenge targets.

Opening the regional channel, Lin Xiao searched for a name and sent a friend request.

Soon, the other party accepted the request.

A new name appeared on Lin Xiao's friend list.

Jin Huan.

An Advanced Deacon of the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce, also one of the persons in charge of the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce in the Second Source Sea, and also an elder of Jin Ruxuan.

Knowing that Lin Xiao was going to enter the Second Source Sea, Jin Ruxuan gave him Jin Huan's contact information.

At the same time, Jin Ruxuan had also greeted Jin Huan.

"Hello, Deacon Jin, I want to purchase the coordinates of a Fourth-order ordinary Lord."

Lin Xiao didn't talk nonsense and directly stated his purpose.
