282: The storm is coming, the first fool to jump out!

“Hint: You have comprehended the special ability Cangming Guard. While within your territory, you can mobilize the territory's Luck to empower yourself, reducing all damage by 30%.”

“Hint: You have comprehended the special ability Power Of Will Blessing. When the people's will in your territory is unified, your Cultivation speed and skill power will receive an additional boost.”

Mo Yan's lips curved into a smile as he looked at the series of hints.

He could feel that his strength could easily defeat his former self.

Now, if he were to face that Archbishop again, he probably wouldn't even need a single sword strike; a mere glance would be enough to crush his Divine Soul.

He stood up, his gaze piercing through the Xumi Realm, looking towards the direction of the distant peeper.

“Rats… are getting more numerous.”

Overnight, the astonishing anomaly in the sky had long dissipated, but the legend of Star Thunder Holy Land spread throughout Long Country through various channels.

Countless people speculated what kind of existence it was that could stir such immense power of heaven and earth.

However, Cangming City, the center of the storm, remained as calm as ever.

Inside the Lords Manor, in the bedroom.

Mo Yan was familiarizing himself with his power after the Breakthrough.

He extended his right hand, palm facing upwards.

As his thoughts flowed, the Dao Foundation City within his Dantian trembled slightly, and the power of the stars flowed out, gathering in his palm.

In just a few seconds, a three-dimensional model made of starlight floated above his hand.

“My control over power has increased by at least ten times.” Mo Yan looked at his masterpiece.

Uncle Qin, who was standing by, was already numb.

He had long been accustomed to the Lord's immense power.

“My Lord, Colonel Zhang Chen just reported that the first batch of migrating Lords has arrived at the designated area, including the three gentlemen you nominated: Xie Yufeng, Wang Haochen, and Chen Yutong,” Uncle Qin reported respectfully.

“Understood.” Mo Yan waved his hand, dissipating the magical power in his palm. “Also, Li Momo has arrived, right?”

“Yes, she is also on the first batch list and has been assigned to the edge of the area.”

Mo Yan nodded, not asking any more questions.

A chess piece that could be crushed at any time was not worth his excessive attention.

He stood up and walked to the window, his gaze piercing through layers of obstacles, looking tens of kilometers away.

......

Southern suburbs of H City.

The once desolate and abandoned industrial park was now bustling like never before.

In the sky, giant floating transport ships slowly descended, their hulls emblazoned with the emblems of various war zones;

On the ground, spatial teleportation gates flickered with light, from which emerged well-equipped Lord armies of various styles;

In the distance, massive flying ships also circled and arrived.

The efficiency of Long Country's official actions was terrifying; in just two days, this vast area had been meticulously planned.

The first batch of Genius Lords from all over the country finally gathered here.

Every one of them, in their own city, was a favored child of heaven, a dazzling new star.

They were young, powerful, and arrogant.

At this moment, they all, by unspoken agreement, cast their gaze in the same direction.

Cangming City.

Even from a great distance, they could feel the majestic Luck and vast Divine Might emanating from that city, like a dormant ancient beast, overlooking them, the newly arrived “newcomers.”

“Is that Mo Yan's territory? It truly lives up to its reputation…” a young Lord controlling an elemental Puppet murmured.

“Hmph, what's the use of being grand? In the world of Lords, strength is what ultimately matters!” a burly young man exuding a violent Aura said disdainfully.

He was Dragon Aotian, the S-rank talent “Dragon Blood Berserker,” who had been repelled by Mo Yan's single word “scram.”

“Brother Long, that Mo Yan's territory doesn't look like much, but he puts on quite a show.” Another Lord chimed in.

Dragon Aotian snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, “Just watch, this H City will soon have a new boss.”

The few Lords around him immediately burst into laughter, and a small group, led by him, had already formed, their arrogance rampant.

On the other side of the crowd, Li Momo, accompanied by her Mingyuan Tower Alliance members, discreetly descended from a transport ship.

She had changed into a plain combat uniform, trying to make herself less conspicuous.

However, the gleaming high-tech battle armor worn by her few members still revealed her extraordinary family background.

She looked at the powerful Genius Lords around her, then gazed at the distant city that had left her father and uncle helpless, a mix of emotions in her heart.

Just then, a commotion came from the front.

It turned out that the official in charge had begun to allocate the settlement plots for each territory according to the pre-arranged list.

Everyone knew that the closer to Cangming City, the stronger the Luck radiation received, and the faster the development speed.

Therefore, the proximity of the plot directly determined the future starting line.

“Why can Xie Yufeng and the others be assigned to the S-3 area?”

“That's the closest to Cangming City! Our Brother Long's strength is more than just one level stronger than theirs!”

One of Dragon Aotian's followers pointed at Xie Yufeng, Wang Haochen, and Chen Yutong, who were receiving the plot documents, and shouted loudly.

This sound drew everyone's attention.

Xie Yufeng and the other two were personally designated by Mo Yan to join, so their assigned plots were naturally among the best.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Dragon Aotian's eyes.

He was just looking for a place to vent his anger at being humiliated by Mo Yan.

Now, the opportunity had arrived.

He strode over quickly, completely disregarding the military officer in charge of the allocation. With a casual push, the officer stumbled.

The officer's face flushed, and he was about to erupt, but when he saw the miniature Dragon-shaped badge on Dragon Aotian's chest, his pupils contracted, and he swallowed all his words, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Dragon Aotian directly stood in front of Xie Yufeng and the other two, pointing at them with his chin, and sneered, “I want this land.”

“You, scram.”

Wang Haochen, with his fiery temper, was about to explode on the spot, the power of his totem already surging: “Who the hell are you telling to scram…”

“Haochen!” Xie Yufeng pulled him back, then stepped forward himself, looking at Dragon Aotian with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, “My friend, everything has a first come, first served rule. This plot was officially allocated to us, and it's recorded on the list.”

“First come, first served? Rules?” Dragon Aotian suddenly burst into wild laughter. “In the world of Lords, strength is the rule!”

“The one with the biggest fist calls the shots!”

Before his words finished, he stomped his foot violently!

Boom!

A violent Dragon Might suddenly erupted, shaking the ground.

Some weaker Lords nearby even retreated repeatedly under this pressure, their faces pale.

“I'm putting it out there today, this land, I'm taking it!”

“You three, either scram yourselves, or I'll smash your territory cores and make you scram!”

His followers behind him also released their Auras, and for a moment, the atmosphere was tense, a battle on the verge of breaking out.

Xie Yufeng and the other two's faces were ashen.

They knew that they were here because of Mo Yan's connection.

But the Dragon Aotian in front of them was a genuine S-rank talent Lord, with a powerful Long Family behind him.

If it came to a fight, the three of them combined would not be his match.

The surrounding Lords all watched with a spectator's mentality.

They also wanted to see how this legendary Holy Land Guardian would react to such a direct provocation.

Would he strike with thunderous force, or choose to settle the matter peacefully?
