83: Chapter 83 The Tenth Layer of the Void

During the period when Lin Xiao was frantically farming slaughter points, it wasn't all smooth sailing.

From time to time, he would receive a System notification that his territory had been invaded.

Dicas's probing continued.

However, the subsequent invasions were no longer purely the "suicide run" style; they were a mix of normal invasions and suicide runs.

In Dicas's eyes, the "suicide run" style was indeed effective; it could significantly drain Lin Xiao's energy and attention, leaving him unable to be distracted. But boosting his own side's morale was merely a side benefit; Dicas's true goal was still to eliminate Lin Xiao.

The "suicide run" style couldn't collect useful intelligence on Lin Xiao's territory, so normal invasions were still necessary to probe the reality of Lin Xiao's territory through various means.

Lin Xiao countered every move.

Every invading hostile lord was quickly dealt with by him.

He was not negligent; even when encountering a normal invasion, he would bring enough troops when he carried out his revenge.

Make the false look real, and the real look false.

Lin Xiao dared not guarantee one hundred percent that there wouldn't be a trap behind a normal hostile lord's invasion.

He certainly didn't want to make a mistake that would lead to eternal regret.

Fortunately, the hostile lords' invasions and his retaliation didn't take up much of his time.

After all, the resources Dicas could mobilize were limited. They didn't have the coordinates of Lin Xiao's territory and had to rely on luck and sheer numbers. Therefore, the number of invasions per day wouldn't be too high.

"However, the situation of not having the territory coordinates won't last long."

Lin Xiao felt a slight chill in his heart.

If all went as expected, as he eliminated each invading lord, the Karma connection between one or more heroes and Troop Types with extremely strong survival capabilities and his territory was deepening bit by bit.

Sooner or later, the coordinates of Lin Xiao's territory would be completely exposed.

Compared to setting traps, this was the most fatal killing move.

Because the Four Great Races could mobilize all available forces to surround and kill Lin Xiao, the threat level was far beyond what individual traps could compare to.

This was an unsolvable open conspiracy.

However, as long as the strength of Lin Xiao's territory grew fast enough, then even if the territory coordinates were exposed, it wouldn't be a big deal at all.

"Hmm?"

"The 10th Layer Void Land has connected to the territory?"

Before Lin Xiao had finished farming the Void Monsters in all the Prodigies' territories, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart and discovered an anomaly outside his territory; a new Void Land had appeared.

Calculating the time, it was indeed about right.

Lin Xiao definitely had to test the strength of the 10th Layer Void Land himself first.

Some Prodigies had already accepted his proposal, and after the 9th Layer Void Land was cleared, they had opened the regional treasure chests, preparing to connect to the 10th Layer Void Land.

Since they trusted him so much, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't let them down.

He couldn't let their territories suffer unnecessary damage or casualties due to insufficient anticipation of the 10th Layer Void Land.

...

On the east side of the territory, the test began.

As Lin Xiao flicked a Void Barrier-Breaking Stone onto the invisible barrier.

The barrier separating the territory and the Void Land disappeared.

The Void Monsters wandering nearby were startled. They stepped out of the Void Land without hesitation and charged towards Lin Xiao's army, which radiated a strong aura of living beings.

This time, Lin Xiao did not use the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

Those appearing here were basically heroes and Troop Types that had only recently become Epic Grade.

What Lin Xiao was testing was not only the strength of the monsters in the Void Land, but also the strength of these heroes and Troop Types.

"Go ahead and do as you please."

Without any extra commands, Lin Xiao retreated behind the others.

"Hahaha, Zhang Yu, dare you kill your way in with me?"

Hearing this, Tu Lie, who had long been unable to restrain himself, let out a wild laugh.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Zhang Yu responded indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, the two men and their two mounts instantly accelerated and charged deep into the Void Land.

"Kill."

As Tu Lie swung his axe, streaks of blood-red light instantly flew out, slaughtering all the Void Monsters within a radius of hundreds of meters. He didn't use any burst skills; just his regular skills were enough to crush the surrounding Void Monsters. They were pouring in from all directions, but they couldn't come as fast as Tu Lie could kill them.

Zhang Yu's body slowly radiated the majestic light of thunder, and his speed grew faster and faster.

Like a bolt of lightning, he rampaged through the monster horde; wherever he went, Void Monsters were left dead and wounded everywhere.

Both of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they charged deep into the gray mist and disappeared from sight.

The others also took action.

Zhong Yue, leading ten Black Armor Soldiers, also headed deep into the Void Land.

Their speed was not fast, but every step was very steady. Powerful, heavy, crescent-shaped yellow blade lights were slashed out by the Black Armor Soldiers, carving a path dozens of meters long through the monster horde.

The Void Monsters along the way were all slaughtered.

Zhong Yue was even more terrifying; with a casual swing of his hammer, a gale howled, bringing complete destruction to a large area. Even monster nests couldn't withstand a single hammer blow from him.

"Lord, I'm going in."

Jiang Yao excused herself to Lin Xiao, and immediately, her spear thrust out like a dragon, and she instantly plunged into the depths of the gray mist.

Only the Wind Shadow Archers and Frost Giants remained, having not moved.

They were all ranged attackers and didn't need to go looking for monsters; the monsters would come to find them on their own.

The charge of Tu Lie and the others attracted countless Void Monsters, but this Void Land was too large, and there were too many Void Monsters inside. A large number of Void Monsters still swarmed in from all directions, gathering into a crowd of over one hundred thousand in the blink of an eye.

Dense and numerous, they surged like a tide.

At this moment, an incomparably huge Frost Burst Star, like a Meteorite piercing the sun, exploded in the monster tide.

A large number of nearby Void Monsters were instantly crushed into ice crystals. An endless cold wave spread out, turning countless Void Monsters within hundreds of meters into ice sculptures, while also affecting an even wider area.

A single Frost Burst Star dealt a fatal blow to the monster tide.

The Wind Shadow Archers followed up immediately. Each second, they could shoot ten arrows, and every arrow could take the lives of all Void Monsters in a line.

A few seconds later, the remaining Void Monsters were completely cleared out.

Their clearing ability was unparalleled.

Ten minutes later, the Void Monsters in this Void Land had been wiped out.

Everyone looked as if they hadn't had enough.

Not enough to kill, completely not enough to kill.

They had just warmed up, and the Void Monsters were already routed.

The 10th Layer Void Land could not be said to be weak; just the number of monsters was over one million, and at the minimum, they were Tier 1, with a very large number of Tier 2 and Tier 3 monsters.

Not only that, a large number of Tier 3 Elite Monsters and Tier 3 Giant Monsters had also appeared.

In terms of monster strength, it far exceeded the 9th Layer Void Land.

However, in front of Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types, it was still vulnerable.

Even the terrifying Tier 3 Giant Monsters were no different from the weakest Tier 1 monsters in their eyes; they were all cannon fodder that could be wiped out in one wave.

It was just that there were more of them.

But in the face of an absolute difference in strength, it was merely a matter of taking a little more time.

"That's it then."

Lin Xiao hadn't made a move the entire time, but he had seen everyone's performance, and he was very satisfied with the results of this test.

Next, he led his army to sweep through the Void Lands on the other two sides.

When only the last Void Land remained, he deployed the Burning Sky Flame Dragon, and Meteorite after Meteorite fell from the sky, wiping out the vast majority of the Void Monsters in one wave.

The facts proved that the 10th Layer Void Land also couldn't withstand the Meteorites of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.
