208: Chapter 208 New Race Passive Skill: [Undead Split]
Xu Qin thought this was definitely not bad news.
Mind you,
his current military strength was 5.74 million.
The number sounded terrifying,
but 1.1 million of them were low-tier self-destruct cannon fodder.
His true high-tier main force consisted of over two million Necro-Beetles and over two million Iron-Hoofed Skeletal Beasts.
The Beetle had been enhanced to +200, which was very fierce.
What about the Bone Beast?
Some had already been enhanced to +150.
But the problem was,
this was only a part of them.
Therefore...
if he could have one year of time...
enhancement +150 might become +500, or even 1000!
By that time, how much would the Beetle's health points be?
Perhaps without even self-destructing, just biting could bite the opponent to death!
Just thinking about it made Xu Qin feel his heartbeat accelerate.
Besides...
troops were still being transmitted over from the vassals every month.
One year meant twelve batches.
Each batch had thirty to forty thousand new troops,
which doubled through War Gift,
making over a million high-tier skeletons per batch.
After twelve batches...
Xu Qin took a deep breath and looked at the star lord channel again.
Level 4 Star Lord Xu Qin: Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Level 4 Star Lord Xu Qin: Let me think about it more.
Level 3 Star Lord Herman: Don't hesitate too long, twelve hours passes quickly.
Level 6 Star Lord Ryan: If you don't enter, who knows when you'll encounter the next migration belt.
Seeing this, Xu Qin snorted coldly, directly closed the channel, and looked at the countdown line on the panel.
[Time until entering the Void Migration Belt: 11 hours 47 minutes]
A few seconds later,
he opened the starfield anchor interface.
The icons of eight blue anchors quietly lined the edge of the map.
Without hesitation, Xu Qin directly selected all eight anchors and deflected them by 8 degrees at once.
Hum!
All eight anchors took effect simultaneously.
He watched as the drifting trajectory of the Boundless Domain began to slowly deflect away from that migration belt.
[starfield anchors have been adjusted!]
[Drift direction deflecting...]
Xu Qin looked at the trajectory line on the map,
intersecting with the migration belt,
and slowly curving out an arc.
After finishing all this, he crossed his legs and muttered to himself:
"Enter? Why enter?"
"Those guys are just waiting for me to go die."
"High density of star lords in the new region?"
"Doesn't that just tell me that once I go in, star lords will be fighting every other day?"
"What I lack right now is not battles."
"What I lack is time!"
Xu Qin opened the command panel and looked at the main force troops in the list.
The potential of the Iron-Hoofed Skeletal Beast was far from peaking.
There were only a little over thirty thousand Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons, and their establishment was still far from complete.
Only one million Beetles were stuffed into the Astral Battle Flag, leaving two million vacant slots.
On the vassals' side,
Su Yao's and Fang Che's troops were just rushing towards Tier 3 and Tier 4.
Tie Ge's War Rhino production also needed to be increased.
With all of the above, which one didn't require time?
"If I can really manage not to encounter a star lord for a year or a half..."
Xu Qin couldn't help laughing softly,
"isn't that just perfect?"
"It's not like I'm standing still and not developing."
"When a year passes,"
"and my entire army is enhanced to +500,"
"whoever bumps into me will just be an experience package."
Xu Qin looked at the boundless dark void and yawned.
"Current accumulation is for a greater outbreak in the future."
"Only by enduring loneliness can one guard the realm."
Twelve hours later,
the Boundless Domain drifted far away from the migration belt.
Xu Qin truly chose to stay put and lay low in place.
For the next two months and more,
the Boundless Domain drifted alone in the starry void.
Just as those star lords said,
within this void,
not even a decent ownerless gravel floated over.
Occasionally, there were three or five hundred-meter-sized fragmented rocks
automatically adsorbed by the continent,
and the territory area also rose from just over 40,000 to more than 41,000.
It was almost negligible.
Xu Qin's daily routine also became regular.
In the morning, he glanced at the Ore Spirit production.
At noon, he checked the troop enhancement progress.
In the afternoon, he opened the vassal channel to inquire about everyone's development progress.
At night, he ran into the mine pit to watch the battle and join the fun.
Watching various troops grow stronger bit by bit every day, Xu Qin felt extremely comfortable inside.
"The joy of laying low is built on the foundation of getting stronger while laying low."
Xu Qin looked at the star lord channel,
"so these star lords don't understand."
Within two months and more,
Tie Ge continuously sent three batches of troops, nearly 160,000.
This batch of sent troops,
a large part of them were its vassals.
Xu Qin didn't mind either; after killing them all,
oh boy,
from Tie Ge here,
he obtained over 4.6 million high-tier skeletons in one breath.
After reshaping part of the excess skeletons into universal bones,
his total military strength climbed from 5.74 million to 7.8 million.
"Laying low for two months increased it by two million."
Xu Qin looked at the troop count on the panel and said with a smile,
"An average of over 30,000 per day, reasonable!"
At the same time,
the Lords Hall also upgraded to level 20 one day ahead of schedule.
That evening.
[Lords Hall upgrade complete!]
[Current Level: Level 20]
Having waited for twenty-five days, Xu Qin directly bounced off the bone seat.
[Lords Hall Level 20 · New Racial Passive:]
[Wraith Fission (Racial Passive · Permanent): When the lord's undead troops trigger "Wraith Fury" to self-destruct, if any enemy units are killed within the explosion range, each killed enemy unit will be contaminated by wraiths, producing a "Fission Explosion" at their death location. Enemy units killed by the fission explosion will continue to trigger fission, with no limit on the number of times.]
[Fission Explosion: Damage is 30% of the "Wraith Fury" self-destruct damage, with an explosion radius of 5 meters.]
"What the fuck?!"
After reading it, Xu Qin exclaimed directly.
"Isn't this... nuclear fission?"
Before his eyes, battle scenes unconsciously emerged.
Millions of Necro-Beetles rushed into the enemy formation,
and amidst the slaughter, the first batch of Beetles fell and began to self-destruct.
Then, the fission explosions ignited instantly.
The entire enemy army formation began to explode outward patch by patch.
"Moreover..."
Xu Qin touched his chin and said,
"the denser the enemy, the more terrifying the effect."
"You only need to detonate the first round, and the fission can blast from the first row to the last row."
Xu Qin stood up and looked towards the endless void.
"What a pity."
He shook his head slightly,
in this void, there was nothing.
"Such a fierce skill like fission, and yet there are no targets for me to try it on."
Xu Qin sighed and began upgrading the eight major zones.
Pouring in resources, pouring in soul energy, and accelerating.
After running through the whole process,
the soul energy in the treasury instantly decreased by a large chunk.
After finishing what should be upgraded, Xu Qin opened the Hall of Valor interface.
Looking at the nine vacant slots, his eyes filled with anticipation.
When the Hall of Valor upgraded to level 22,
he would be able to accumulate enough twelve vacant slots.
By then, his Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons would be able to promote and become heroes!
Xu Qin looked towards the direction of the giant pit outside the Floating City.
At this moment, there were 130,000 Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons busy inside the giant pit.
