23: Chapter 23 The Path to the Heavens Opens, Alien Armies Press In

The abyss rift collapsed.

Lin Chen led the group of players back to the territory.

Golden light descended, and everyone returned to the central plaza.

[Ding! Ultimate Territory buff fully activated!]

[All player stats +200%, EXP gain +150%, drop rates doubled!]

Just as the players stood steady, their stat panels jumped frantically.

"My attack power tripled! This is too awesome!"

"The Ultimate Territory is just different; you can walk around unbothered as soon as you step out!"

Iron Head Kid patted the god-tier armor on his body, grinning from ear to ear.

"Following Brother Chen, starve nine meals in three days? Pfft! It's three days and you're decked out in god-tier gear!"

Cute Girl stood on her tiptoes to look at Lin Chen, her eyes sparkling.

"Lord, where is the next dungeon? I can't wait to fight monsters!"

Lin Chen raised his hand to unfold the territory map.

On the map, a pitch-black point of light was flashing frantically.

[Ding! Detected that the Heavens Portal blueprint can be used. Build immediately?]

"Build."

As soon as he spoke, the void in the central open space of the territory began to twist.

A massive gate of light slowly took shape.

Inside the gate, galaxies swirled, leading to countless planes.

[Heavens Portal (Ultimate Building) has been built!]

[Function 1: Can teleport to unlocked Heavens planes]

[Function 2: Automatically attracts forces from surrounding planes to investigate]

[Function 3: Plane conquest points can be exchanged for god-tier supplies]

The players gathered in front of the portal, their faces full of shock.

"A real Heavens Portal! Can we go wander in other worlds from now on?"

"Will there be fairies in other worlds? I want to marry one!"

Lin Chen said calmly, "The portal just opened, its aura has leaked out, and it will soon attract alien races."

As soon as these words left his mouth.

From within the portal, a dense chorus of roars immediately rang out.

Roar—!

A large group of humanoid monsters clad in animal skins and wielding bone spears rushed out.

They were three meters tall, pitch black all over, with fangs exposed.

[Savage Giant (Lord-tier)]

[Level: 85]

[Threat: Medium]

There were over a hundred of them!

The players' expressions changed in unison.

"It's here! It's here! Just finished talking and they're here to deliver EXP!"

"But these monsters look so fierce, my legs are a bit weak."

The Savage Giants stared at the players, drooling.

"Outsiders, food!"

The lead giant swung its bone spear, stabbing straight at Cute Girl in the front.

"Watch out!"

Iron Head Kid immediately raised his shield and stepped forward.

Clang!

The bone spear smashed into the god-tier armor, sparks flying everywhere.

-10!

Forced HP reduction.

Iron Head Kid grinned.

"Is that it? You're just scratching an itch for me!"

The players were instantly relieved.

"God-tier armor is just awesome, Lord Big Shot is generous!"

The other Savage Giants charged simultaneously.

The ground was shaking.

Ordinary players were so scared they retreated again and again.

Their equipment was average; they couldn't withstand a single hit from a Lord-tier monster.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

He raised his hand and pointed.

[Lord Skill: Heavens Suppression!]

An invisible force descended from the sky.

The dozen or so Savage Giants charging at the front were pressed flat onto the ground on the spot.

The sounds of bones breaking rose one after another.

-888888!

One-hit kill!

[Ding! You killed 12 Savage Giants!]

[Obtained EXP: 1,200,000!]

[Obtained items: 30 Savage Bone Shards, 12 Rough Treasure Chests!]

The players were stunned.

"Big Shot just wiped out a group with a wave of his hand? Is this the strength of an Ultimate Lord?"

"I didn't even get a chance to draw my sword, and the battle is over?"

The remaining Savage Giants were trembling in fear.

They wanted to run, but were locked in place by the suppression force.

Lin Chen waved his hand.

"You guys practice."

The players reacted instantly.

"Charge! Get the kills! Loot the gear!"

Arrows, magic, and skills were thrown out like they were free.

Damage numbers were flooding the screen frantically.

"Hahaha, these monsters are pinned down by Big Shot, they're like target practice!"

"Getting EXP while lying down, this is insanely fun!"

In less than a minute.

All the Savage Giants had fallen.

[Ding! All Savage Giants in the current area have been cleared!]

[Territory Reputation +5000!]

[Obtained Plane Points: 1000!]

A large amount of equipment and materials littered the ground.

The white light was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

The players instantly went wild.

"The drop rate is way too high! Gold light everywhere!"

"Following Brother Chen, every day feels like Chinese New Year!"

A squishy Mage player crouched on the ground picking up gear, his mouth twisted into a grin.

"I'm tired of running back from respawns, but I didn't die once today, huge profit!"

Iron Head Kid shouldered a bone spear and gestured at the portal.

"Next time monsters come, I'll be the first to charge up and be the vanguard for Big Shot!"

Lin Chen walked to the front of the portal and touched the light gate with his fingertip.

[Ding! Detected that the Savage Plane coordinates have been locked!]

[Proceed with plane conquest?]

[Plane Conquest]

[Difficulty: Hard]

[Rewards: Savage Origin, territory upgrade materials, god-tier treasure chest]

"Mark it, do not conquer yet."

He could feel that there were stronger existences behind the gate.

The players' strength is insufficient right now; going there would just be throwing their lives away.

Just at this moment.

The portal's light fluctuated violently.

An aura ten times stronger than before spread out.

A terrifying pressure rushed toward them.

The players' faces turned pale, and even breathing became difficult.

"What... what is this thing? It's way more terrifying than the giants from before!"

"My legs are weak, I can't stand, Big Shot help!"

A giant monster ten meters tall, clad in stone armor, walked out of the portal.

It held a giant hammer, its single eye crimson, staring fixedly at Lin Chen.

[Savage Titan (Low-God-tier)]

[Level: 95]

[Description: Guardian of the Savage Plane, combat power doubles in a berserk state]

The Titan smashed its giant hammer into the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked open a huge fissure.

"You killed my clansmen, pay with your life!"

It took a step out and lunged straight at Lin Chen.

The speed was so fast it left afterimages.

The players' hearts were in their throats.

"God-tier monster! It's really a god-tier monster!"

"Big Shot, dodge quickly! Don't take it head-on!"

Cute Girl was so scared she covered her eyes.

"No, Big Shot, don't let anything happen!"

Lin Chen stood motionless.

The blade of dawn unsheathed automatically and floated in front of him.

The Savage Titan's giant hammer arrived.

Lin Chen finally moved.

He dodged to the side and slashed backhanded at the Titan's arm.

Slash!

The stone armor was easily cut open.

-5999999!

Massive damage numbers floated up.

The Savage Titan let out a miserable shriek and retreated repeatedly.

It looked at its wound in disbelief.

"You... how could you possibly hurt me!"

Lin Chen didn't give it a chance to react.

His figure flashed and appeared above the Titan's head.

"Slash."

Golden blade energy descended from the sky.

With one strike, he shattered the Titan's giant hammer and continued to slash into its head.

-12999999!

One-hit kill!

The Savage Titan couldn't even resist and instantly turned into dust.

[Ding! You killed the Savage Titan (Low-God-tier)!]

[Territory Level EXP +10,000,000!]

[Obtained God-tier Treasure Chest x1! Savage Origin x1! Plane Points +10,000!]

Golden light shot into the sky.

The entire territory was illuminated.

The players were collectively silent for three seconds, then went completely crazy.

"One strike! Another one-strike! God-tier monsters are like paper!"

"I'm stunned, did Brother Chen secretly use hacks?"

Lin Chen landed on the ground and picked up the god-tier treasure chest.

[God-tier Treasure Chest: Can open to obtain a god-tier equipment, skill, or blueprint.]

He didn't open it immediately and looked at the players.

"In the battle just now, some people performed well."

He threw something casually.

Two pieces of Epic-tier equipment flew toward Iron Head Kid and Cute Girl.

"This is your reward."

Iron Head Kid caught the equipment, his hands shaking.

[Epic · Savage Guardian Shield]

[Defense +20,000, HP +100,000, Damage Reduction 30%]

"Thanks, Brother Chen! Brother Chen is generous! In the future, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Cute Girl held her staff, so excited she was about to cry.

"Thank you, Lord! I will definitely heal everyone well!"

Other players were incredibly envious.

"I also want to be singled out for a reward by Big Shot!"

"Next time I will definitely charge to the front, even if I die, I have to show off some skills!"

Lin Chen said calmly, "The portal is temporarily closed, strengthen the guard."

[Ding! Heavens Portal enters cooldown, will reopen in 1 hour!]

The players immediately took action.

Archers climbed the city walls, mages prepared magic, and warriors formed formations.

The entire territory was strictly guarded.

Iron Head Kid patrolled while carrying his shield, humming a little tune.

"Following Brother Chen, no need to hoard god-tier gear, dropping piles every day, happy as an immortal!"

A newbie player approached him.

"Big Brother, are god-tier monsters always this easy to kill? Why does it feel like chopping vegetables?"

Iron Head Kid patted his shoulder.

"That's because you haven't seen other Lords. Other Lords fighting god-tier monsters, dying ten times isn't enough. Our Brother Chen one-shots them like they're nothing."

The newbie player looked adoring.

"Lord Big Shot is too fierce! This BOSS is so tanky, but in front of Brother Chen, it's like paper!"

Lin Chen stood at the top of the Lord Tower, overlooking the entire territory.

The death of the Savage Titan would inevitably attract even stronger enemies.

In the Heavens planes, it's survival of the fittest.

To gain a foothold in the Heavens, one must constantly grow stronger.

He opened the system panel.

[Lord: Lin Chen]

[Territory: Ultimate Territory (Level 10)]

[Combat Power: Mid-God-tier]

[Subordinate Players: 326]

[Plane Points: 11000]

The points were enough to exchange for a powerful item.

[Ding! Open the Heavens Exchange Mall?]

"Open."

The mall panel unfolded.

God-tier equipment, skills, units, and buildings were all available.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on one item.

[Heavens Battle Flag (God-tier)]

[Exchange Points: 10000]

[Effect: Within the territory, friendly stats +100%, enemy stats -30%, can launch one god-tier team skill.]

Top-tier team battle gear!

"Exchange."

[Ding! Heavens Battle Flag exchange successful! Automatically equipped to the territory core!]

A gentle force enveloped the entire territory.

Golden light shone on all players simultaneously.

"Huh? My stats increased again!"

"What's the situation? Did Big Shot give us another buff?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "Next, enemies above the god-tier will arrive."

The players were stunned, then became excited.

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of whom! With Brother Chen here, we'll kill as many as come!"

"Above god-tier? Isn't that better? The dropped gear will be higher grade!"

They had been completely conquered by Lin Chen's strength.

Not to mention above god-tier, even if a God King came, they would dare to charge along with him.

An hour passed quickly.

[Ding! Heavens Portal cooldown ended!]

[Warning! High-energy lifeforms are approaching!]

The portal's light surged explosively.

This time, no monsters poured out.

Only a figure in purple robes walked out slowly.

His face was handsome, but carried endless indifference.

[Purple Lightning God King (Peak God-tier)]

[Level: 100]

[Description: Ruler of the Savage Plane, controls the power of lightning]

Terrifying pressure rushed toward them.

It was more than ten times stronger than the Savage Titan from before!

The city walls were trembling slightly.

The players' faces turned pale, and even breathing was difficult.

"This... is this a God King? Just the aura alone is unbearable!"

"It's over, it's over, we've really met a tough nut this time!"

The Purple Lightning God King scanned the territory, and finally landed his gaze on Lin Chen.

"You killed my clansmen, destroyed my guardian, you have a lot of nerve."

Lin Chen's eyes were icy.

"The Savage Plane, from now on, belongs to me."

The Purple Lightning God King acted as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Belongs to you? A mortal, daring to covet a God King's plane?"

He raised his hand and waved it.

Purple lightning condensed into a giant hand, grabbing toward Lin Chen.

The space was torn apart by the lightning.

The players were so scared they closed their eyes.

"Big Shot, run away! This is a God King's attack!"

Lin Chen didn't retreat, but advanced.

The Heavens Battle Flag unfolded behind him, shining with ten thousand feet of golden light.

"Heavens Suppression, Battle Flag Unrivaled!"

He waved the battle flag.

A golden torrent collided with the purple lightning.

Boom—!

The shockwave swept in all directions.

The Purple Lightning God King retreated repeatedly, his face full of shock.

"You have a Heavens Divine Artifact on you? Impossible!"

Lin Chen didn't give it a chance to think.

The blade of dawn and the Heavens Battle Flag exerted power simultaneously.

One attacking, one defending, invincible.

"Today, I'll let you know that mortals can also slay God Kings!"

The golden blade energy and the battle flag's light merged into one.

It transformed into a beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

The Purple Lightning God King's expression changed drastically, and he defended with all his might.

"God King Shield!"

The purple shield shattered instantly.

-29999999!

One-hit kill!

[Ding! You killed the Purple Lightning God King (Peak God-tier)!]

[Territory has gained control of the Savage Plane!]

[Unlocked God-tier unit: Savage Titan Guard!]

[Server-wide Announcement: Player Lin Chen has conquered the first Heavens plane, obtaining the title of Plane Master!]

Three server-wide announcements rang through the entire game.

Players all over the world exploded.

"Plane Master! Brother Chen directly rules a plane?"

"Other Lords are still struggling in the novice village, Brother Chen has already conquered the Heavens?"

Inside the territory.

The players instantly went wild, cheers resounding through the sky.

"Plane Master! Awesome! Brother Chen is invincible!"

"Following the Plane Master, we'll be the nobility of the Heavens in the future!"

Lin Chen stood in front of the portal, surrounded by golden light.

The Savage Plane is in hand.

This is just the beginning.

He looked toward the distant, endless starry sky.

The next goal, conquer more planes, Sweep the Heavens and Myriad Worlds!
