181: Chapter 181 Everything is ready, let's go to war.

Aside from those hundreds of Epic Grade defensive buildings, Lin Xiao's territory was not completely lacking in legendary grade defensive buildings.

That did not include the world-crossing cannon he had unlocked and built himself.

There were two other legendary grade defensive buildings: the Lost Canopy and the Void Barrier.

The High-tier Lords of the Human Race had evidently seen that Lin Xiao did not ask for too many legendary grade items—especially the most valuable hero token and barracks blueprints—and felt bad about it, which was why they had forcibly supplemented him with these two.

After all, Lin Xiao's safety was the most important thing, and the pressure he bore would also be the greatest.

If resources weren't invested in him, who else could they be invested in?

Under Sealed conditions, the effects of the Lost Canopy and the Void Barrier naturally wouldn't be much better than other Epic Grade defensive buildings, but they were both very special defensive buildings.

Once the Lost Canopy was activated, a canopy would shroud the most core region within Lin Xiao's central area, including important buildings such as the Lords Mansion, the enlightenment mountain, and the Eye of Truth, as well as a portion of Epic Grade defensive buildings.

Once the invading army stepped into the range of the canopy, they would lose their sense of direction and experience spatial confusion.

The function of the Void Barrier was to form a massive barrier within a certain range that could dissipate the aftermath of power; its existence could drastically reduce the destruction caused to important buildings by the fierce battle between both sides in the central area.

Clearly, the greatest function of these two legendary grade defensive barriers, the Lost Canopy and the Void Barrier, was to protect important buildings like the Lords Mansion and the enlightenment mountain.

Among the Epic Grade defensive buildings, there were also quite a few extraordinary types that could cause massive trouble for invaders, but solving this dilemma was actually very simple for the invaders.

They just needed to bombard them directly with saturated attacks.

As long as the main body of the defensive building was destroyed, its effects would naturally collapse on their own.

However, in this Second Source Sea, legendary grade defensive buildings were synonymous with indestructibility; even the strongest First-Generation Lords of the Bull Demon Race and the Shadow Race wouldn't even dream of damaging a legendary grade building by a fraction.

This also meant that as long as there was sufficient energy, the Lost Canopy and the Void Barrier could exist indefinitely, maintaining protection over important buildings such as the Lords Mansion.

For Lin Xiao, this point was particularly crucial. Even if his territory suffered heavy losses under the enemy's fierce assault and even the territory core was exposed, under the protection of the Lost Canopy and the Void Barrier, the territory core would not be quickly destroyed, buying him a significant amount of time.

Therefore, he gladly accepted these two legendary grade defensive buildings.

"If one could properly utilize the indestructible characteristic of legendary grade defensive buildings in the Second Source Sea to completely enclose the Lords Mansion inside, I'm afraid no one could breach such a territory," Lin Xiao thought to himself.

Such legendary grade buildings were naturally immensely rare.

Piecing things together could not achieve the effect of a perfect defense; the infiltrating aftermath of power would be enough to destroy the Lords Mansion and the territory core.

Lin Xiao had never seen one, but President Gu Yizhou, the vice president of the Lord Association, was well-traveled and knowledgeable.

The Human Race did not possess such a legendary grade building, nor did any of the hostile lords they had fought, but among other alien races that had exchanges with the Human Race, such a case had indeed appeared.

That alien lord had used a fully enclosed legendary grade building to shroud the Lords Mansion inside; regardless of whether attacks were launched from the sky or underground, they could not bypass that legendary grade building.

The enemies had no alternative but to completely destroy all other buildings in the territory and plunder all the resources.

As for that alien lord, his fate was not much better either.

He was completely trapped to death.

Others could not kill him, but he couldn't develop either. Once a thousand years passed and he was forcibly kicked into the Third Source Sea, facing the attacks of High-tier Lords, his turtle shell was quickly shattered, and he met a violent death.

"No matter how strong a defense is, it will eventually be breached."

"Only offense is the correct path."

Lin Xiao sighed with emotion and reined in his thoughts.

Now, everything was ready for him; he was just waiting to upgrade his territory to Level 6.

...

The major movements of the Human Race were quickly detected by the Four Great Races.

Most of the other Seventh-order Lords who received assistance chose Legendary Hero and Troop Types; for them, Legendary Hero and Troop Types provided the greatest enhancement.

Once the Legendary Hero and Troop Types they recruited grew up, they immediately began invading the Seventh-order Lords of the Four Great Races.

The latter were beaten into a state of panic, and some weaker Seventh-order Lords even had their territories destroyed.

The situation at the seventh-order level instantly reversed.

The reason why they did not wait until Lin Xiao upgraded his Level 6 territory to suddenly launch an attack and catch the Four Great Races off guard—

President Gu Yizhou and the others did it on purpose.

Their purpose was to send a strong signal to the Four Great Races, telling the latter that the Human Race was fully strengthening their Seventh-order Lords and preparing to escort Lin Xiao in upgrading his Level 6 territory.

No one knew what kind of ultimate weapon the Purgatory Race could pull out.

To lure or force Lin Xiao into upgrading his territory, what methods would they implement?

Rather than waiting passively, it was better to take the initiative and strike.

They would openly lay their cards on the table and fight a head-on battle with the Four Great Races.

The Four Great Races immediately received the signal emitted by the Human Race.

The Sin Race, rear world.

"All signs indicate that the Human Race is prepared to fully support their Seventh-order Lords and fight a battle with us."

A trace of a smile appeared on the face of the Grand Chieftain of the Sin Clan.

He had recently been meeting frequently with the High-tier Lords of the Purgatory Race to discuss countermeasures.

Wanting to let Lin Xiao upgrade his territory was naturally no easy task.

What he could be certain of was that the Purgatory Race's intent to kill Lin Xiao was also incomparably intense, and they would absolutely not allow the latter to grow up; however, the highest echelon of the Purgatory Race was clearly still somewhat hesitant about what methods to use and what trump cards to reveal.

But now, the Human Race was taking the initiative to challenge them to battle.

Presumably, the high-level officials of the Purgatory Race would no longer hesitate.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight."

"Depending on our own abilities."

The Grand Chieftain of the Sin Clan refused to believe that with both sides fully supporting their Seventh-order Lords, his side could still lose.

The First-Generation Lords of the Bull Demon Race and the Shadow Race were their greatest source of confidence.

Following an order from the upper echelons of the Four Great Races, their Seventh-order Lords also prepared for battle with all their might. The top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords of the Seventh-order belonging to the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race all received support from their respective High-tier Lords.

As the main combat force, the Bull Demon Race and the Shadow Race likewise received a considerable degree of support.

legendary grade items that they had dreamed of in the past flowed toward them one after another.

The top-tier Seventh-order Lords of both sides were growing even stronger at an extremely fast pace.

Collisions and battles between the two lord factions had long since begun. Aside from the top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords who still maintained a certain level of restraint, the other Seventh-order Lords on both sides were using all sorts of methods, trying their best to kill enemies and weaken each other.

The flames of war burned across the seventh-order level.

Not just the seventh-order; the Sixth-order Lords were not left out either, fighting fiercely as well.

As the time for upgrading the territory drew closer, the battle situation became increasingly intense.
