31: Chapter 31 Intermediate Region! The All-Heavens Merchant Guild Blocks the Way? Smash Them Instantly!

[Ding! Dawn Territory has completed the prerequisites, opening the passage to the Myriad Heavens Intermediate Region!]

[Ding! Monster levels in the Intermediate Region: Level 25-35. The number of territories has doubled, and the danger level has significantly increased!]

[Ding! Detected that the Lord possesses a god-level skill. Unlocked additional exclusive benefits for the Intermediate Region: EXP gain +20%, drop rate +15%!]

System notifications exploded one after another in Lin Chen's mind.

He stood atop the golden city walls, his gaze fixed on the blue light gate that had split the sky.

Mysterious runes circulated across the light gate; on the other side lay the brand-new Myriad Heavens Intermediate Region.

Behind him, over two hundred players were fully prepared, each wielding equipment of Bronze rank or higher, their morale soaring.

The First Person to Lie Flat shouldered his newly forged bronze battle axe and thumped his chest, shouting loudly.

"Lord, when do we charge? I'm already itching for a fight!"

The Quintessential Contrarian crouched on an arrow tower, adjusting a newly crafted armor-piercing arrow.

"The big shots in the Intermediate Region had better be sensible, otherwise they'll still get rubbed into the ground by our Lord!"

Lin Chen vaulted onto the blazing wind chaser. The epic warhorse's four hooves were wreathed in flames, its hooves tapping lightly against the ground.

"All troops, move out. Enter the Intermediate Region."

The troops lined up neatly, followed behind Lin Chen, and strode into the blue light gate.

After a slight wave of dizziness, everyone landed on solid ground.

A brand-new world appeared before them; the mountains were steeper, the spiritual energy was richer, and in the distance, they could even see the outlines of floating castles.

[Ding! Successfully entered the Myriad Heavens Intermediate Region! Map unlocked: Red Earth Plains!]

[Ding! Red Earth Plains spawning elite monsters: Red-Armored Wild Boar, Level 28, HP 100,000!]

Just as they found their footing, a dozen crimson-colored wild boars charged out from the jungle ahead.

Their tusks glinted with a cold light as they stampeded straight toward the player formation.

"Watch out! Monster attack!"

The melee players immediately raised their shields and stepped forward, setting up a defensive formation.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold; with a flick of his wrist, his dawnbreaker longsword was unsheathed.

"Flame Dragon Impact!"

A giant flame dragon roared as it emerged, slamming headlong into the pack of wild boars.

Boom, boom, boom!

Continuous explosions rang out, and the HP of the Red-Armored Wild Boars plummeted crazily.

-8900! -8900! Critical hit!

In just three seconds, the dozen Level 28 elite monsters all fell to the ground, turning into experience points and motes of light.

[Ding! Killed Red-Armored Wild Boar x14, gained 14,000 EXP and 2,800 Gold Coins!]

[Ding! Dropped: Red Iron Shards x30, Basic Health Recovery Pills x20!]

The players' eyes lit up at the sight.

"The EXP in the Intermediate Region is too awesome! It's ten times higher than the Novice Region!"

"The Lord cleared the field with a single skill; we didn't even get a chance to lift a finger!"

The team continued to push forward. They had only walked five hundred meters when the road ahead was suddenly blocked by a group of people.

The man in the lead wore a silver robe with a golden chamber of commerce emblem embroidered on his chest, his eyes filled with arrogance.

Behind him followed fifty guards, all of whom were Level 25 or higher, wielding fine weapons.

"Stop! This area is under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce. If you want to pass, leave behind a toll!"

The silver-robed man crossed his arms, his tone extremely arrogant.

Lin Chen reined in his warhorse, looking down at the other party from a commanding height.

"Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce? What kind of thing is that?"

The silver-robed man's face darkened; apparently, he had never been ignored like this before.

"We are a cross-regional force of the Myriad Heavens, controlling the circulation of supplies across the entire region. If you're smart, hand over half of your supplies, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

The chamber of commerce guards behind him drew their weapons one after another, looking aggressive.

"Daring to disrespect a chamber of commerce elder? You've lived long enough!"

"If you don't pay up, we'll bury you in the Red Earth Plains today!"

The Dawn Territory players instantly exploded.

"Daring to block our Lord's path? You must have broken brains!"

"The three major alliances in the Novice Region were all wiped out, and a lousy chamber of commerce dares to be arrogant?"

A cold smirk curled on Lin Chen's lips.

"My things, and you think you're worthy of robbing them?"

The silver-robed elder was furious and waved his hand.

"Attack! Cripple them all and seize all their supplies!"

The fifty chamber of commerce guards immediately charged, skill lights flashing as they slammed toward the players.

Seeing this, Lin Chen urged his warhorse and immediately activated Flame Stomp.

Boom!

A flame shockwave swept in a circle; the ten guards in the front row were directly blasted away, their HP wiped out.

[Ding! Flame Stomp killed Chamber of Commerce Guard x10, gained 5,000 EXP!]

The remaining guards were scared pale, and their attack rhythm was instantly disrupted.

"What a strong impact! What kind of skill is this!"

"His equipment is Epic rank! We can't even scratch him!"

The Quintessential Contrarian immediately drew his bow and fired; the armor-piercing arrow accurately pierced a guard's throat.

"And you dare to block the road with this? Go home and suckle!"

The First Person to Lie Flat swung his battle axe, hacking two enemies away with one blow, laughing loudly.

"Too weak! Not enough for me to hack at all!"

The players swarmed forward in perfect coordination, and the chamber of commerce guards fell one after another.

Seeing his subordinates suffering heavy casualties, the silver-robed elder was trembling all over.

He immediately pulled out a teleportation scroll, wanting to run away.

"Want to run? Did you ask me first?"

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and he locked onto the target with the god-level skill Myriad Heavens Judgment.

[Ding! God-level skill Myriad Heavens Judgment activated! Ignores defense, deals 1000% true damage!]

A seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky, accurately striking the silver-robed elder.

-99999!

One-hit kill!

[Ding! Killed Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce Elder · Jin Feng, gained 12,000 EXP and 5,000 Gold Coins!]

[Ding! Dropped: Chamber of Commerce Pass x1, Intermediate Resource Chest x3, Silver Ring x1!]

All the chamber of commerce guards completely collapsed, dropping their weapons and kneeling to beg for mercy.

"We surrender! We won't dare to block the road again!"

"Spare our lives! It was all forced by the elder!"

Lin Chen said indifferently.

"Those who surrender will not be killed. Hand over all supplies and get out of the Red Earth Plains."

The guards scrambled to drop their backpacks and fled without looking back.

The players rushed up to clean the battlefield, with gold coins, equipment, and materials piled on the ground.

"We're rich! The chamber of commerce is really wealthy; just a quick search and we got thousands of gold coins!"

"A silver ring! And it adds to attack; this wave is a huge profit!"

Some players couldn't help but complain.

"This chamber of commerce isn't here to deliver packages, is it? They delivered equipment and gold coins right to our door!"

Another player immediately joined in.

"What robbery? This is clearly volunteering to deliver warmth. I suggest renaming it the Myriad Heavens Fortune-Delivering Boy Chamber of Commerce!"

Lin Chen picked up the Chamber of Commerce Pass, and a system prompt immediately popped up.

[Ding! Obtained Chamber of Commerce Pass, can enter all Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce strongholds in the Intermediate Region, trade tax rate reduced by 50%!]

He opened the three Intermediate Resource Chests, and golden light flashed wildly.

[Ding! Obtained: Territory Upgrade Stone x30, Epic Fragment x50, Myriad Heavens Points x2,000, God-level EXP Pill x5!]

[Ding! Used God-level EXP Pill, Lord EXP significantly increased!]

Golden light shot into the sky, and Lin Chen's level soared directly.

[Ding! Lord Lin Chen leveled up to Level 22!]

[Ding! Lord Lin Chen leveled up to Level 23!]

A terrifying pressure rushed toward them, and all the monsters within a kilometer radius trembled, not daring to approach.

The players watched, their blood boiling, and they cheered in unison.

"Level 23! The Lord leveled up twice in a row!"

"The god-level EXP pill is too fierce! Leveling up is as easy as drinking water!"

Lin Chen opened the combat power panel, and the data refreshed the Myriad Heavens Leaderboard again.

[Lord: Lin Chen]

[Level: 23]

[Combat Power: 98,000!]

[Ranking: No. 1 on the Myriad Heavens Intermediate Region Combat Power Leaderboard!]

The region-wide announcement exploded instantly, resounding in every corner.

[Region-wide Announcement: Lord Lin Chen has entered the Intermediate Region and topped the Combat Power Leaderboard!]

[Region-wide Announcement: Lord Lin Chen killed the Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce Elder, shocking the Red Earth Plains!]

Players throughout the Intermediate Region were stunned.

"Lin Chen? That ruthless person who slaughtered the three major alliances in the Novice Region? How did he come to the Intermediate Region!"

"First on the combat power leaderboard! Reached the top just after entering? This is going to rule the Intermediate Region!"

Countless territory Lords were so scared that they immediately closed their city gates, not daring to go out easily.

Fearing that they might accidentally provoke this god of slaughter.

Lin Chen put away the panel and led the team to continue forward.

In the center of the Red Earth Plains, a huge chamber of commerce stronghold stood there, with walls ten meters high and heavily guarded.

The Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce flag hung above the stronghold, and a notice was posted at the entrance.

[Intermediate Region Chamber of Commerce Stronghold: All Lords must pay 10,000 Gold Coins to enter, otherwise entry is prohibited!]

The players saw the notice and cursed angrily.

"Robbery! 10,000 gold coins just to enter a door? Why don't you just go rob someone!"

"They didn't learn their lesson after we beat them just now; they really need a lesson!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold, and he walked straight toward the stronghold gate.

The guards at the door recognized Lin Chen, turned pale with fright, and turned to run inside.

"Bad news! That god of slaughter is here! Quickly notify the President!"

Inside the stronghold, Chamber of Commerce President Black Demon was drinking tea in the hall. Hearing the guard's report, he slammed the table and stood up.

"What? He dares to attack the chamber of commerce stronghold? He's simply courting death!"

Black Demon was Level 28, wielding a silver long spear, followed by one hundred elite guards.

He strode out of the stronghold, and seeing Lin Chen, his eyes were sinister.

"Lin Chen, you killed my elder and ruined my business. Today I will make you die without a burial place!"

Lin Chen stood on his horse, his tone indifferent.

"Surrender the stronghold, and I will spare your life."

Black Demon laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Just you? My one hundred guards are all Level 25 or higher; one spit each from them could drown you!"

He waved his hand, and the hundred guards rushed out, their skills slamming toward Lin Chen like a blanket covering the sky.

Ice arrows, fireballs, blade energy, densely packed, covering the entire field of vision.

Lin Chen did not dodge or avoid; the flame tiger battle armor on his body surged with red light.

[Ding! Epic armor passive triggered: Damage reduction 80%!]

All attacks slammed into the armor, only splashing a few sparks; Lin Chen was completely unharmed.

The smile on Black Demon's face froze instantly.

"Impossible! How is this possible!"

Lin Chen raised his hand and swung [Sweep the Army], golden sword energy sweeping across the entire field.

Boom, boom, boom!

The hundred guards had their HP wiped out directly, falling in droves.

[Ding! Killed Chamber of Commerce Guard x100, gained 50,000 EXP!]

[Ding! Completed One-Hundred-Man Kill, obtained achievement: Chamber of Commerce Bane! Reward Myriad Heavens Points x1,500!]

Black Demon was scared out of his wits, turned around, and wanted to escape into the stronghold.

Lin Chen directly activated the god-level skill Myriad Heavens Judgment.

The seven-colored beam of light fell, and Black Demon didn't even have time to scream before turning into dust.

[Ding! Killed Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce President · Black Demon, gained 20,000 EXP and 10,000 Gold Coins!]

[Ding! Dropped: Chamber of Commerce Stronghold Title Deed, Epic Necklace x1, Golden Treasure Chest x5!]

[Ding! Occupied Myriad Heavens Chamber of Commerce Intermediate Stronghold, unlocked region-wide material trading rights!]

The players exploded instantly, cheering around the stronghold.

"We've taken the chamber of commerce stronghold! From now on, we are the bosses of the Intermediate Region!"

"An epic necklace! The Lord's equipment is going to be upgraded again!"

Lin Chen picked up the title deed, and the chamber of commerce stronghold immediately changed hands, the flag replaced with the Dawn Territory's emblem.

He opened the five Golden Treasure Chests, and a massive amount of supplies gushed out.

[Ding! Obtained: Territory Core · Gold Rank x1, God-level Skill Fragment x30, Epic Equipment Forging Blueprint x1, Advanced Strengthening Stone x100!]

[Ding! Territory EXP is full, Dawn Territory is about to upgrade to LV6!]

Golden light shot into the sky from deep within the stronghold, covering the entire Red Earth Plains.

[Ding! Congratulations to Dawn Territory for upgrading to LV6! Unlocked: Epic Legion Camp, Myriad Heavens Teleportation Array!]

A terrifying pressure rushed toward them, and Lin Chen's aura climbed again; his Level 23 combat power crushed the entire Intermediate Region.

The players shouted excitedly, their voices shaking the heavens.

"Level 6 territory! Epic legion! Our Dawn Territory is invincible!"

"Myriad Heavens Teleportation Array! From now on, we can go to any region we want; it's so awesome!"

Some players scratched their heads and complained.

"Others in the Intermediate Region are still worrying about bronze equipment, and we've already taken the chamber of commerce stronghold; the gap is truly ridiculous!"

The player next to him immediately echoed.

"Following the Lord, leveling up three times a day, picking up equipment non-stop; this life is better than a dream!"

Lin Chen stood at the highest point of the chamber of commerce stronghold, looking toward the more distant Myriad Heavens Core Region.

The Intermediate Region is just a transition; the real powerhouses are all in the Core Region.

Lin Chen said indifferently.

"Reorganize the army, build the epic legion. Three days later, march into the Myriad Heavens Core Region!"

Over three hundred players shouted in unison, their voices resounding throughout the Red Earth Plains.

"Obey the Lord's command!"

"Sweep the Myriad Heavens! Invincible!"

The wind blew across the Dawn Territory's flag, snapping loudly.

Lin Chen's figure stood at the highest point, like an unshakable deity.

To gain a foothold in the Myriad Heavens, one must constantly become stronger, crush everything along the way, and trample all obstacles underfoot!
