167: Chapter 167 Post-War

As the Purgatory Demon Ape began its charge, Lin Xiao's gaze also fell upon this behemoth.

Although this giant beast's size was not as massive as Ares, that was due to a difference in their races. In fact, its strength surpassed all heroes in Lin Xiao's territory.

Ten times the combat power of a Sixth-order Lord, to the fifth-order Lin Xiao, meant a hundred times the combat power.

Furthermore, it belonged to the Demon Ape race, which possessed extremely strong individual strength.

If the Burning Sky Flame Dragon and Frost Giant were half-mage Troop Types, then the Demon Ape race was undoubtedly pure warriors, and their Physical Body was extremely powerful.

Once this Purgatory Demon Ape rushed into the central area and wreaked havoc, it would likely shatter the territory core very quickly and threaten Lin Xiao's life and death.

"Guan Ri, shoot and kill it."

Lin Xiao's gaze looked towards Guan Ri at the side.

Hearing this, Guan Ri did not hesitate at all. He instantly activated his outburst skill, and a massive battle soul projection appeared behind him, causing his aura to surge violently.

The Tinder Bow in his hand was drawn back.

All of his power was condensed onto the bow.

"Falling Sun Arrow."

The next moment, Guan Ri fiercely shot out a peerless rainbow-like light that seemed capable of shooting down the sun.

"Roar~"

At this moment, the Purgatory Demon Ape also seemed to sense a fatal threat. As it sprinted, it tried hard to make evasive maneuvers; however, in front of the distance-ignoring Arrow of No Distance, it held little meaning.

The peerless arrow light transformed from the Falling Sun Arrow instantly pierced through its skull.

The Purgatory Demon Ape's proud and powerful Physical Body and defense felt like paper-mache before this peerless arrow light, failing to provide much protective effect.

However, the Purgatory Demon Ape's vitality was terrifying to the extreme.

Even with its skull pierced, it did not die immediately. Instead, its aura grew even more violent, becoming as extremely dangerous as a dying Vicious Beast.

Just as it prepared to launch a frantic counterattack, a second Falling Sun Arrow pierced through its heart.

This arrow came from Lin Xiao.

The Purgatory Demon Ape, whose heart and skull had both suffered heavy blows, could not endure it no matter how robust its vitality was. However, a Super-spec Lord was a Super-spec Lord; this Purgatory Demon Ape still did not die, and if given time, it could still recover a certain amount of combat power.

Qian Ying, who was roaming the battlefield, suddenly flashed over at some unknown moment. Her body was wreathed in a dead silence power akin to the return of all things to ruins, looking just like a true god of death.

"Void-Breaking Blade."

The Void Realm was completely torn apart.

The Purgatory Demon Ape's head vanished, annihilated together with space.

"Boom~"

Its massive body charged forward for a distance under inertia before collapsing listlessly.

On Lin Xiao's side, it took three consecutive all-out ultimate skills to slay it, which showed just how formidable this Purgatory Demon Ape was.

"No~"

Seeing the Purgatory Demon Ape fall in battle, Griffin simply could not believe his eyes.

The Super-spec Lord upon whom he had pinned all his hopes, who had always been unstoppable on the sixth-order battlefield, had actually died just like that.

"It's over."

The other sixth-order top-tier lords also plunged into despair.

The Purgatory Demon Ape was already their last hope, yet it collapsed with a crash before playing much of a role.

Do not look at how they still held the advantage on the battlefield.

But that was only temporary; once the outburst ended, it would be their doom.

For legendary grade entities, the weakness period after an outburst was not so severe.

The problem was that having an outburst and not having an outburst were completely different states.

The most abnormal aspect of Lin Xiao's army was that they restored their peak condition after resurrection. This made them completely fearless of death, allowing them to output frantically regardless of everything, and they could do it all over again after resurrection.

The coalition forces could not do that.

Facing Lin Xiao's army going all out in an outburst, those without an outburst simply could not withstand it.

Unless Lin Xiao's army could no longer be resurrected.

"I refuse to believe they can still resurrect."

Doyle gritted his teeth.

Aside from fighting to the very end, they had no other choice.

In the end, no miracle descended.

The invading army was completely wiped out, falling outside the central area.

Although they failed to reach the central area, their strength was too formidable, and the terrifying aftermath of the battle frantically battered the entire territory, almost breaking through the star dome barrier.

One could see just how intense this battle was.

"Fortunately, I won in the end."

A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

After this battle, it would be unrealistic for the Four Great Races to launch an even stronger attack.

Although they still had many Sixth-order Lords, and quite a few sixth-order top-tier lords who did not participate in this battle, under the containment of the Human Race, it was obviously impossible for them to launch a stronger offensive again.

After a period of further consolidation, Lin Xiao's strength would become even stronger, allowing him to truly gain a firm foothold and fear no attacks.

"Let's clean up the battlefield first."

Forty-seven sixth-order top-tier lords only yielded forty-seven Gold-grade War Chests; naturally, this bit of gains was nothing much.

Fortunately, there were other gains.

Under the collision of terrifying powers, most heroes and Troop Types died without a complete corpse, and the bloody aura filled heaven and earth. However, washed by the chaos source qi, it wouldn't take long for it to recover its original clarity.

The remaining corpse of the Demon Ape, as well as the shattered weapons and equipment fragments, could also be sold to logistics lords.

The invaders were all sixth-order top-tier lords, and a portion of the weapons and equipment they used were already Epic Grade.

Although most were damaged in the intense battle, Lin Xiao also found a few intact Epic Grade weapons among them. He kept the ones his army could use and traded away the ones they couldn't.

It could be considered a decent harvest.

Having cleaned up the battlefield, Lin Xiao opened the regional channel.

As the invaders were completely wiped out, the spatial-temporal tremors around the territory disappeared.

Whether the Four Great Races had yet to react or had given up on actions against Lin Xiao, after the forty-seven sixth-order top-tier lords died in battle, no new invaders appeared, and Lin Xiao also restored his connection with the outside world.

"Are you there?"

Lin Xiao tentatively sent a message to Hu Wei.

As the liaison of the Lord Association, Hu Wei was also a Sixth-order Lord. Originally, he thought she might be in the midst of an enemy invasion, but unexpectedly, Hu Wei gave a reply very quickly.

"Lin Xiao, you can contact the outside world?"

Seeing the message sent by Lin Xiao, Hu Wei was immediately greatly shocked.

The Four Great Races made such a huge commotion precisely to get rid of Lin Xiao, and cutting off his connection with the outside world was the first step.

Previously, if she wanted to contact Lin Xiao, she had to do so through rescue operations.

Yet now he could open the regional channel?

"Mm, it has been resolved."

Lin Xiao said it casually.

"Re—resolved?"

"Could it be that the Four Great Races built open walkways to deceive, while secretly crossing Chencang?"

"Lin Xiao is not their true target."

Hearing this, Hu Wei's heart shook, and she immediately thought of other possibilities.

"The Four Great Races sent forty-seven sixth-order top-tier lords to attack, including a Super-spec Lord. I also paid quite a heavy price to kill them."

Lin Xiao said.

Indeed, after this grand battle, the heroes and Troop Types under his command had resurrected at least four times, and the most had even died five or six times, consuming a considerable amount of the power of life and death Reincarnation.

Hu Wei: "???"

Do you even hear yourself...
