37: Chapter 37: Flattening the Outpost, the Divine Saintess Displays Her Power

Lin Chen had just finished speaking when Isabella, the Saintess of Light, spread her six wings, and golden holy light covered the walls of the Dawn Territory.

[Ding! Divine Hero Isabella, the Saintess of Light, has activated the aura: Sacred Light Protection.]

[Sacred Light Protection: All units in the Dawn Territory receive +30% damage reduction, recover 5% of maximum HP per second, and are immune to Abyssal Demonic Qi.]

The players, who were still rubbing their legs numbed by the Abyssal Warlord, instantly felt a warm sensation all over.

"This healing is insane! My low health was instantly filled; it's faster than chugging high-grade health potions!"

"Saintess sister is the GOAT! From now on, if anyone dares to say a Healer is useless, I'll lose it with them!"

Lin Chen opened the Legion Panel and quickly selected the combat units with his fingertips.

"Ten thousand Golden Knights, Netherworld Bone Dragon at the rear, and the main force of players follow the Saintess to deal damage!"

"Target: Abyssal Outpost. Leave none alive!"

[Ding! The Lord has issued a Legion Quest: Flatten the Abyssal Outpost.]

[Quest Rewards: 100,000 Abyss Points, 5 random Purple-Gold equipment, Territory Expansion Permission.]

The players instantly exploded with excitement, pulling out their weapons and rushing toward the teleportation array.

"Finally, we're counterattacking! We've held it in for so long; it's our turn to hold our heads high!"

"Charge with the Lord Big Shot! Abyssal scum, wash your necks and wait for the blade!"

Lin Chen took the lead in stepping into the teleportation array, which was 70% sealed by the Space Imprisonment Talisman. In the pitch-black space tunnel, Isabella's holy light turned into a shield, isolating all residual demonic energy.

The moment he stepped out of the tunnel, the pungent smell of sulfur hit him.

Before him was a scorched land with towering black bone towers standing around. The towers were covered in twisted magic patterns, and a continuous stream of abyssal monsters crawled out of the portals beneath them.

[Abyssal Outpost]

Level: 4

Stationed Monsters: 50,000 Abyssal Imps, 20,000 Abyssal Magic Wolves, 5,000 Abyssal Mages, 1 Outpost Commander.

At the top of the bone tower, a demon wearing a blood-red cloak held a bone staff, his crimson eyes staring intently at Lin Chen's group.

"A mere human Lord dares to intrude upon my Abyssal Outpost? You seek death!"

The Outpost Commander raised his hand, and the red magic crystal at the tip of the bone staff burst with intense light.

[Ding! The Abyssal Outpost Commander has activated the skill: Monster Tide.]

[Effect: All stationed monsters gain +20% Attack, +20% Movement Speed, and are immune to fear effects.]

Fifty thousand Abyssal Imps roared and charged, their dense figures covering the sky and earth. The players' front-line tanks immediately stepped up.

"Shield wall! Raise your shields! Don't let the scum break through!"

"Healers, watch the health! My shield is about to be chewed to bits!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold as he threw out ten Explosion Talismans.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten bursts of fire exploded within the imp swarm, sending imps flying in heaps, their black blood splashing everywhere.

[Ding! The Lord used an Explosion Talisman, killing 860 Abyssal Imps and gaining 34,400 experience points.]

The Netherworld Bone Dragon flapped its wings and took to the sky, its Dragon Breath Sweep toward the Abyssal Magic Wolves on the other side.

Wherever the ice-blue Dragon Breath passed, the magic wolves were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, shattering into dust with a light touch.

"The Bone Dragon boss is still so fierce! One Dragon Breath clears an entire area, saving me so much effort!"

"I just hacked one magic wolf to death, and when I looked back, my teammates had already cleared a whole camp. What a gap!"

Isabella held her Holy Light Scepter and lightly tapped the ground.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light has released the skill: Holy Light Illumination.]

[Effect: Deals 10,000 points of Holy Damage per second to Abyssal monsters within range for 10 seconds.]

Golden holy light fell like a waterfall, covering more than half of the Abyssal Outpost.

The Abyssal Mages were about to release dark magic when they were instantly burned by the holy light, screaming as their bodies dissipated into black smoke.

"The mage monsters are gone! The back-line damage dealers are free!"

"Saintess sister's skill is too OP; clearing mages is like slicing vegetables!"

Lin Chen exerted force through his feet, his figure flashing as he charged directly beneath the bone tower.

Seeing this, the Outpost Commander waved his bone staff, and three black demonic blades slashed toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sidestepped to avoid them and counter-slashed with the blade of dawn.

Clang!

The demonic blade was shattered with one strike, and the Outpost Commander was forced back three steps.

"Who on earth are you? A normal Lord couldn't possibly have this kind of strength!"

Lin Chen gripped the blade of dawn, golden light flowing along the blade.

"Dawn Lord, Lin Chen."

"Today is the end of your Abyssal Outpost."

As his voice fell, Lin Chen activated the Myriad Heavens Commander skill, and the golden light around him surged.

He leaped up, and the blade of dawn slashed out a golden blade light, striking directly at the bone tower's magic pattern core.

Squelch!

The blade light struck the magic patterns, causing the bone tower to tremble violently, and the patterns on the tower instantly dimmed by half.

[Ding! The Lord has destroyed the Abyssal Bone Tower's magic patterns. The monster respawn rate of the Abyssal Outpost has been reduced by 50%.]

The Outpost Commander was completely enraged. Demonic energy swirled around him, and the magic crystal at the tip of his bone staff shot out a thick beam of dark light.

"Abyssal Death Ray!"

The beam came straight for Lin Chen. Isabella instantly flew in front of him, her six wings closing to form a golden wall of light.

Boom!

The dark beam crashed into the wall of light with a deafening roar. The wall shook slightly but did not break at all.

"Impossible! My Abyssal Death Ray was actually blocked?"

Isabella raised her heavy staff, and golden light condensed into a massive Spear of Holy Light.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light has released the skill: Saintesss Judgment.]

[Effect: Deals 1,000,000 points of Holy Damage to a single target, damage is doubled against Abyssal units.]

"A God-tier skill! This is going to one-shot him!"

"The Lord Big Shot takes the hits, and the Saintess sister deals the damage. Who could withstand this combo!"

The Spear of Holy Light flew toward the Outpost Commander with a piercing sound.

The Outpost Commander tried to dodge but found himself locked by the holy light, unable to move at all.

Puchi!

The Spear of Holy Light pierced through the Outpost Commander's chest, and his blood-red cloak was instantly burned away by the holy light.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light has killed the Abyssal Outpost Commander (Level 60 Purple-Gold BOSS).]

[Experience Gained: 2,000,000]

[Lord Level Up! Current Level: 37]

[Items Obtained: Abyssal Outpost Core, dark staff (Purple-Gold), abyssal teleport coordinate.]

Golden light enveloped Lin Chen's body, and the level-up notifications rang out one after another. His attribute panel surged once again.

[Lord: Lin Chen]

[Level: 37]

[Territory: Dawn Territory (Purple-Gold Grade)]

[Combat Power: 12.5 million]

A terrifying pressure swept forward. The remaining monsters nearby felt Lin Chen's aura and trembled with fear, not even having the courage to run.

The players took the opportunity to clear them out, and within minutes, the monsters in the Abyssal Outpost were slaughtered.

Lin Chen landed, walked to the Outpost Commander's corpse, and picked up the dropped equipment and items.

[dark staff (Purple-Gold Grade)]

Level: 60

Effect: Dark Magic Damage +80%, with a 50% chance to trigger Abyssal Curse, reducing the target's all attributes by 20%.

Suitable Classes: Abyssal Mage, Dark Priest

[abyssal teleport coordinate]

Effect: Can locate the coordinates of the Abyssal Main World and open a stable teleportation channel.

Lin Chen tossed the dark staff to the player group behind him.

"This staff is for the mage players in the team. Give it to whoever has the highest damage output."

The players instantly went wild.

"A Purple-Gold grade staff! I've played for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such good equipment!"

"Brothers in the mage class, go for it! This is a direct takeoff!"

A player with the ID "Law God Little Brother" squeezed through the crowd and excitedly took the bone staff.

"Thank you, Lord Big Shot! I will definitely output damage well and not let down your trust!"

As soon as he equipped the bone staff, a system notification rang out.

[Ding! Player Law God Little Brother has equipped a Purple-Gold grade weapon. The server's first Purple-Gold grade magic weapon has been born!]

The server-wide announcement scrolled again. The guild leaders of various major guilds watched with envy, but they could only worry in vain.

"The players in Dawn Territory are too lucky! They can just get Purple-Gold equipment like that; comparing ourselves to them is just infuriating!"

"Who would have thought an Abyssal Outpost could drop such good stuff? If I had known, I would have followed Lord Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen walked to the top of the bone tower and embedded the Abyssal Outpost Core into the slot on the Lord Panel.

[Ding! The Lord has gained control of the Abyssal Outpost and unlocked the outpost modification permission.]

[Modification Options: 1. Change to Dawn Territory Sub-base; 2. Change to Abyssal Monster Farm; 3. Dismantle for massive materials.]

The players gathered around and discussed animatedly.

"It has to be changed to a sub-base! Then we can be stationed here in the Abyss without having to run back and forth through the teleportation array!"

"A farm is also good. Raise some monsters as pets or use them to farm experience. How sweet!"

Lin Chen tapped his finger and chose the first option.

[Ding! Dawn Territory Sub-base (Abyssal Outpost) is under modification. Modification time: 10 minutes.]

[Upon completion, sub-base functions such as the teleportation array, barracks, and warehouse will be unlocked.]

Isabella flew to Lin Chen's side and said respectfully.

"Lord, Abyssal reinforcements may arrive during the sub-base modification. I suggest setting up a defensive formation."

Lin Chen nodded, opened the Legion Panel, and quickly issued orders.

"Golden Knights, guard the perimeter of the sub-base. Netherworld Bone Dragon, patrol the air. Players, split into five teams to clear the surrounding abyssal monsters and collect Abyssal Shards!"

"Isabella, you are in charge of guarding the sub-base. Activate Sacred Light Protection and watch for any emergencies!"

"As you command!"

The players immediately took action. Five teams set off in different directions, their weapons swinging vigorously.

"Brothers, charge! Collect Abyssal Shards to exchange for points. Points can be exchanged for Purple-Gold equipment!"

"There's a group of Abyssal Demon Spiders ahead. They have thin skin and low health, perfect for farming shards. Keep up!"

Lin Chen stood at the top of the bone tower, opened his bag, and looked at the abyssal teleport coordinate.

A red light point flickered on the coordinates, marking the core area of the Abyssal Main World—the Abyssal Throne.

"The Abyssal Throne?"

Lin Chen's eyes were determined as he gripped the blade of dawn in his hand.

To gain a firm foothold in the Myriad Heavens, one must not only defend their own territory but also take the initiative to strike and nip the enemy in the bud.

The Abyssal Main World would sooner or later become his possession.

Just then, the distant sky was suddenly covered by demonic energy. A massive spatial crack slowly opened, and several powerful auras came from within.

Isabella's voice rang out instantly.

"Lord, Abyssal reinforcements are here! They are extremely powerful, with at least three Lord-class demons!"

Lin Chen looked up and saw three demons clad in black armor walking out of the crack. The leader was twenty meters tall, holding a massive demonic sword, and the demonic energy around him was ten times stronger than that of the Outpost Commander.

[Abyssal Lord Baro]

Three Platinum-grade Lords, leading tens of thousands of Abyssal elites, charged toward the sub-base in a grand manner.

Seeing this formation, the players instantly stopped what they were doing.

"Three Platinum-grade Lords? It's like they've brought out the Abyss's entire family fortune!"

"I just respawned twice, and now such strong enemies are coming. Lord Big Shot, please think of something!"

Lin Chen said indifferently.

"What's there to fear? Since they've come, they'll all stay here!"

He turned to Isabella, his tone resolute.

"Saintess, prepare for battle!"

"Today, we'll let these Abyssal demons taste the power of our Dawn Territory!"
