67: Chapter 67 The Void-Breaking Stone: A Million Monster Tide Vanishes into Ashes

The lower-quality defensive buildings were dismantled, and in the vacated spots, Lin Xiao placed several perfect-grade defensive buildings.

The other empty spots would just have to remain empty for now.

The requirements for perfect-grade and Epic Grade defensive buildings were too high. Lin Xiao was currently investing the most resources into the strength of his heroes and troops; as for territorial defense, it would have to wait.

However, his territorial defense was not bad at all right now.

With the large number of rare grade defensive buildings built previously, added to these few perfect-grade buildings.

At this moment, his territorial defense was already no worse than many veteran Third-Tier Lords.

An hour passed quickly.

Lin Xiao arrived near the Blazing Dragon Nest again. By this time, the magic power of the twenty Burning Sky Flame Dragons had fully recovered, and even their attributes had increased by a notch.

The speed of their growth was nothing short of astonishing.

Of course, it was all bought with money.

"You, you, and you all, follow me."

Lin Xiao took off into the air with several Burning Sky Flame Dragons and arrived at the west side of the territory.

Jiang Yao, Tu Lie, and the other heroes, having received Lin Xiao's orders, had already led the majority of the troops within the territory to gather here.

"Everyone, retreat."

Under Lin Xiao's command, everyone slowly retreated backward until they were two kilometers away from the Void Land before stopping.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao flew alone to the edge of the territory.

At the boundary between the territory and the Void Land, countless Void Monsters gathered behind the barrier, staring fixedly at Lin Xiao's territory.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao's figure, they roared loudly, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood.

Powerful Void Monsters leaped up and lunged fiercely toward Lin Xiao, only to crash awkwardly against the invisible barrier, unable to advance even a single inch.

Lin Xiao stood at the boundary and took an item out of his backpack.

The Void Barrier Breaking Stone.

Its function was singular: to remove the barrier between the territory and the Void Land.

The ninth layer of the Void Land had long been connected to Lin Xiao's territory; at most, this invisible barrier would have disappeared in a day or two, but Lin Xiao was not prepared to wait any longer.

His territory's strength was sufficient now; there was no need to delay any further.

With a flick of his finger, the Void Barrier Breaking Stone shot out instantly, collided with the barrier between the territory and the Void Land, and immediately merged into it.

The next moment, the barrier vanished.

The Void Monsters that had been pressing tightly against the barrier didn't even have time to react before they tumbled directly into the territory, with the ones at the very front piling up in layers.

However, they quickly reacted and lunged toward Lin Xiao with roars.

Greeting them was a massive Frost Burst Star.

"Boom~"

Countless Void Monsters were crushed into ice crystals, and the overwhelming cold air ravaged the area, affecting a radius of several hundred meters.

The power of a Frost Burst Star unleashed by Lin Xiao was, naturally, extraordinary.

After wiping out the first batch of Void Monsters, Lin Xiao ignored them and quickly ascended into the air.

He cast his gaze downward.

He saw that along the long twelve-kilometer boundary line on the west side of the territory, countless Void Monsters were pouring out continuously, a truly spectacular sight.

Defending a twelve-kilometer battle line was naturally not that easy.

Fortunately, Void Monsters were extremely sensitive to the aura of living beings. At this moment, most of the living beings in the territory were here, immediately attracting countless Void Monsters to rush toward the mountains on the west side.

Jiang Yao, Tu Lie, and the others were like suns in the dark night, attracting all the Void Monsters.

The two-kilometer distance was crossed in the blink of an eye.

Facing this terrifying monster horde, Jiang Yao and the others were not panicked in the slightest.

The first to take action were the ranged Frost Giants and Wind Shadow Archers. Dozens of Frost Burst Stars smashed fiercely into the monster crowd, while the Wind Shadow Archers also opened fire with full force, wantonly reaping lives.

However, the number of monsters was too great; no matter how fast they killed, they couldn't keep up.

Zhong Yue stood at the very front of the army, leading the Black Armor Soldiers to block the impact from the monster horde.

Although the Black Armor Soldiers were only rare grade, they already possessed Third-Tier attributes. While the ninth layer of the Void Land already contained Third-Tier monsters, their numbers were not too high, and there were no elite monsters, so they could hold on for a short time.

Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand...

The Void Monsters pouring into Lin Xiao's territory quickly reached a count of several hundred thousand.

"That's enough."

"Take action."

High in the sky, Lin Xiao waved his hand.

The Burning Sky Flame Dragons, which had long been prepared, immediately cast their skills. The sky was shrouded in endless fire clouds, and immediately afterward, several massive Meteorites plummeted down fiercely.

With the improvement in their strength and the bonuses from the barracks technology, the power of the Burning Sky Flame Dragons' skills had risen accordingly. Although the condensed Meteorites could not yet reach Lin Xiao's twenty-meter scale, they were still sixteen or seventeen meters, and their power had surged.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

On the ground, several terrifyingly large fireballs rose up, and shockwaves ravaged the west side of the territory wildly.

The impact points of the Meteorites were very clever, situated right on the dividing line. Therefore, half of the destructive power of this Meteorite onslaught surged into the Void Land, burning countless Void Monsters that hadn't yet emerged into ashes.

Void Monsters only had numbers on their side; in terms of strength, they were far inferior to the troops of veteran Third-Tier Lords.

An ultra-large-area magic attack like summoning Meteorites was undoubtedly the best weapon for dealing with them.

With the fall of several Meteorites, the monster horde was wiped out for the most part, and those that luckily survived no longer posed a threat.

Jiang Yao, Tu Lie, and the others led the army deep into the Void Land, and before long, they destroyed the monster nests inside one by one.

[You have opened a regional treasure chest and obtained the following items: 4.9 million Source Crystals...]

After opening the regional treasure chest, this piece of Void Land was immediately converted into territory.

As for the loot from the treasure chest, Lin Xiao didn't care much. The best things that could be opened from the ninth layer of the Void Land were, in all likelihood, rare grade. Unless he had a massive stroke of luck and opened a perfect-grade item or something of an even higher level, it wouldn't be worth his attention.

"Next."

The battle ended too quickly, and the consumption of the troops could be said to be minimal. After letting those few Burning Sky Flame Dragons that had exerted themselves return and replacing them with another batch, Lin Xiao and the others headed toward the Void Land in other directions.

The same scene played out in the other three directions.

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Destruction, and more destruction.

With the fall of several Meteorites, the million-strong monster horde was wiped out.

Up to now, no large-scale flying monsters had appeared in the Void Land. Even if there were a few flying Void Monsters, they were dealt with by Lin Xiao before they could even get close to the Burning Sky Flame Dragons; therefore, this tactic could be called unbeatable.

While clearing out the last Void Land.

Without any warning, a System prompt suddenly sounded.

[Your territory is under invasion.]

Before Lin Xiao could react, a new System prompt followed.

[The battle has ended. You have won this invasion battle. Settlement is beginning.]

...

Looking at the earth below, following the fall of several Meteorites, and the heaven-destroying and earth-shattering scene, Lin Xiao fell into silence.
