47: Chapter 47 The Ninth Layer of the Void, Obsidian Shield

"The Meteorite's target should ideally be the territory buildings, with the army being secondary."

Lin Xiao also noticed the drawback of this skill.

Armies can run.

From summoning the Meteorite to its impact, there is still a bit of time. If powerful heroes and troops discover it early, they have plenty of opportunities to run out of the Meteorite's attack range before it lands. Even if they can't run out completely, getting away from the core impact zone of the Meteorite would significantly reduce the damage taken.

Unless it is a saturation coverage strike with multiple Meteorites, it is difficult to cause maximum damage.

Being able to wipe out the invading army in one wave this time was mainly because the opponent's strength was not high, and they discovered it late.

Although they were all Third-Tier, their quality was not high; it is estimated they were at most Rare-grade.

If it were replaced by Perfect-grade or Epic-grade armies, the results would not be so astonishing, especially the latter, as it would be quite normal for them to blow the Meteorite up directly.

Territory buildings are different; they cannot run.

Lin Xiao imagined the scene of several, or even dozens of Meteorites falling together... Even those powerful territories armed to the teeth would have to suffer.

"Tsk tsk."

Shaking his head, Lin Xiao cut off the connection with Conrad.

This battle had already ended, but the invasion war had not been settled yet because the invaders were not all dead.

Lin Xiao specifically left a few prisoners behind.

He was not prepared to end this invasion so quickly.

Killing whoever comes is indeed the best choice to hide his territory's coordinates.

But the premise is that his own strength must be sufficiently powerful.

A Third-Tier Lord is not that easy to fight.

Even just an ordinary Third-Tier Lord is many times stronger than Raymond.

Now that Lin Xiao has just upgraded his territory to Level 3, the strength of his heroes and troops has not improved much, and is far from being able to crush the opponent.

Wanting to take them down is time-consuming and laborious.

It's not worth it.

Now is the high-speed growth period of the territory; not taking the time to Cultivate, but instead wasting this precious growth time to attack others, is tantamount to picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon; it is extremely unwise.

"No rush."

Lin Xiao prepared to wait until the sixth day to finish off those prisoners.

Once the invasion war ends, that Sin Race Lord will receive the news; therefore, it is best to kill them later to buy himself more growth time.

Next, Lin Xiao made some adjustments to the territory.

First, he placed the tianji pavilion, for which he had gathered the construction Materials, with the location naturally chosen in the inner city.

Once the tianji pavilion was built, the territory's safety would have an extra layer of protection.

Then came the personnel deployment.

Considering that there would be invasions from other lords later, Lin Xiao simply moved the Spirit Gathering Array to the periphery of the territory, letting the heroes lead their subordinates to guard the four sides, to Cultivate and kill enemies simultaneously.

Among them, Tu Lie was responsible for guarding the east side of the territory, Jiang Yao guarded the south side, and Zhong Yue guarded the west side.

Qian Ying was also sent to the west side by Lin Xiao.

It was mainly because Zhong Yue's speed was not as fast as Tu Lie's, nor did he have Jiang Yao's exquisite archery skills; to avoid letting the invaders escape, Qian Ying was also sent over.

The north side was personally guarded by Lin Xiao.

After all, he was the strongest in the territory.

...

The next day, the invaders did not appear, but the Void Land did.

The Ninth Layer Void Land finally officially connected with the territory.

"Perfect, let's test if killing Void Monster can earn Killing Points." Lin Xiao's heart stirred. His body flashed, and he had already arrived at the edge of the territory, immediately passing through the invisible barrier and entering the Void Land on the north side.

"Roar~"

The Void Monster inside saw Lin Xiao and immediately pounced towards him.

Lin Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a thunderous roar exploded out of thin air.

The terrifying sound wave surged in all directions.

The movements of each Void Monster suddenly froze, and then they were shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood.

It was exactly Zhong Yue's skill, Thunder Roar.

Having easily obliterated the surrounding Void Monster, Lin Xiao began to chant Dragon Language Magic, and his body slowly rose.

He didn't fly too high.

The Void Land is a very special place, filled with endless grey mist. If he was too far from the attack target, even a world-destroying attack would be weakened layer by layer by the grey mist, and in the end, not much power would remain.

Lin Xiao's figure slowly disappeared, slipping into the Void Realm.

The terrifying sound waves of the Thunder Roar attracted countless Void Monster to swarm over—First-Tier, Second-Tier, Third-Tier...

They couldn't find Lin Xiao and could only roar helplessly at the territory outside. They wanted to rush in but couldn't get through.

When the Void Monster below gathered to several thousand, Lin Xiao stopped waiting. He revealed himself and began to chant. Terrifying magic power gathered, dyeing the sky red.

Immediately after, a huge dark red fireball plummeted from the rolling fire clouds.

"Boom~"

The world-destroying scene reappeared. The thousands of Void Monster below were affected by the Meteorite and were wiped out in an instant.

[Congratulations on being the first to kill a Third-Tier Void Monster, rewarded with 10 million Source Crystals, and one Perfect-grade treasure chest.]

The Ninth Layer Void Land already has Third-Tier Void Monster.

Lin Xiao did not stay long and soon left the northern Void Land. No matter how strong his strength was, he never thought about challenging an entire Void Land by himself.

Opening the System log, Lin Xiao looked at it.

[You killed a First-Tier creature, gaining 0.4 Killing Points.]

...

[You killed a Second-Tier creature, gaining 8 Killing Points.]

...

[You killed a Third-Tier creature, gaining 32 Killing Points.]

Good news, killing Void Monster can also earn Killing Points.

From 0-Tier Void Monster up to Third-Tier Void Monster, the Killing Points obtained are the same as other creatures.

Those thousands of Void Monster provided him with thousands of Killing Points in total.

Just that one wave, the number of Killing Points obtained was fully two or three times more than killing Raymond.

Lin Xiao's face revealed surprise. Killing Void Monster also gives Killing Points; his channels for obtaining Killing Points suddenly increased by one.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, all about how to use this point to crazily farm Killing Points.

A moment later, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly.

The most important thing now is to improve his own strength; the matter of farming Killing Points has to be put on the back burner.

Not to mention the Void Monster of other territories, even the Void Monster in his own territory, Lin Xiao did not plan to clear them out immediately.

After all, this is not the single-player state during the Seven-Day Assessment.

No one knows when the territory will be invaded.

If they were fighting bloody battles with hundreds of thousands of Void Monster, and suddenly invaders appeared nearby... wouldn't that be a disaster?

Even if it wouldn't lead to a total collapse, there would be heavy casualties.

That is not what Lin Xiao wants to see.

Fortunately, the territory can still be expanded through other methods, so delaying the progress of clearing the Void Land will not have much impact on him.

"Open the treasure chest."

Lin Xiao did not keep the rewarded Perfect-grade treasure chest.

[Congratulations on obtaining Obsidian Shield (Perfect).]

"Perfect-grade shield, not bad."

Lin Xiao was very satisfied and just right to swap it for Zhong Yue.

In the First Source Sea, the defense provided by a Perfect-grade shield won't be much stronger than a Rare-grade one, but its essence is there; in terms of sturdiness and durability, it far exceeds it.

Rare-grade shields have a significant probability of being shattered in intense battles.

Perfect-grade shields are unlikely to do so.

Another day passed, and Lin Xiao's territory was invaded again.

This time, the invader was not a Sin Race Lord, but a Bull Demon Race Lord.

The Bull Demon Race is one of the two vassal races of the Purgatory Race; the race's strength is not as good as the Sin Race.

But this Bull Demon Race Lord who invaded Lin Xiao's territory was still stronger than the previous Sin Race Lord.

Unfortunately, he ran into Lin Xiao.

Every day that passed, the strength of Lin Xiao's territory was rapidly becoming stronger.

Even without using ultimate moves like summoning Meteorite, he easily took down the opponent's army, leaving only a few prisoners to drag out the time.
