Chapter 430 - 426: Eternal Realm Stronghold

"Whew—"

"Finally got rid of it."

Lin You let out a breath and sat down on the ground, feeling like his head was still buzzing.

These Spirit-type monsters are indeed much harder to deal with than other demons.

If it weren’t for his sufficient life-saving techniques just now, he might have already succumbed to this demon’s tricks.

And this was only D-level.

What if they were higher-level?

It seems that without absolute confidence in the future, it’s better not to casually provoke Spirit-type Lord Demons.

"If only it could drop a Species Token like this."

Lin You couldn’t help but silently think to himself.

The skills of this Lord Demon are undoubtedly top-notch within Spirit types.

Not only does it possess a wide-range illusion, but also such abnormal linked skills as Spiritual Disruption and Spiritual Storm, more terrifying than the Enchanting Beldam from the Demon type.

Among the Ten Great Sects.

Only the Demon, Undead, and Plant types have the most Spirit-type species.

Among them, the most bizarre belongs to the Plant Type Species.

Because Plant Type Species have a diverse appearance, are elusive, and can change the surrounding environment, unknowingly trapping people.

They are one of the types Lords least want to encounter.

Of course.

Lin You also knows these species are rare.

He’s undergone mutations many times without seeing much, barely considering Enchanting Beldam and Fearful Tree Demon as one, clearly not as ordinary level.

So he didn’t hold much hope.

He shook his still aching head and slowly approached the Blue Dream corpse to check for drops.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin You paused, his expression uncertain.

Rubbing his swollen eyes hard and looking closely, he found inside the withered blue rose flower’s pistil, there lay a golden token.

Golden...

Rare Token!

Lin You’s heart trembled, almost instinctively stepping forward and taking the golden token in his hand.

When he saw the string of information pop up before his eyes, his breath hitched.

[Species Token: Deep Blue Dream (Plant Type)]

[Species Level: Rare]

[Species Grade: Tier Nine]

[Introduction: Upon use, unlock the rare Plant Type species "Deep Blue Dream."]

[Usage Requirements: Tier Nine Territory, 5 million Magic Energy]

It truly is a rare species!

"Haha, good!"

Lin You couldn’t help laughing twice, eyes full of joy.

Rare species, even in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, have an extremely low drop rate.

He’s participated in so many battlefields, only last time did he receive a rare token by killing an Undead Grandmaster.

Unexpectedly, it actually dropped!

Besides the Newbie Treasure Chest, this is the first time he genuinely obtained a rare Plant Type token by defeating demons.

And it’s the rarest Spirit-type species.

Just with this token, he profited on this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.

Not in vain for his desperate battle just now.

After taking a deep breath, he carefully stashed the token and then looked at the remaining items.

One piece of Tier Nine Essence, four pieces of Tier Eight Essence, better than nothing.

Selling them could at least fetch millions.

"Let’s get out of here first."

After ensuring nothing was overlooked, he immediately gathered all the species around him and headed out of the forest.

The battle just forced out his Prayer of the Gods’ Angels.

This artifact can only be used once a day. If he encounters another Lord Demon, he might lose many species, so it’s better not to delve deeper into the battlefield for now.

After all, those in the vicinity were already D-level demons.

Going further in will definitely rise in levels, which he couldn’t handle now, and it’s a good time to retreat for a bit of recovery.

...

Soon.

Following the path back, he returned to the area where the base was located.

Yet unexpectedly.

As soon as he returned near the base, he saw a large gathering of Lords outside the base, poised for action.

Numbers so vast, there are at least thirty thousand.

Occupying nearly most Lords across Realms.

Did something happen?

Lin You’s heart tightened, and he immediately had the Demon Emperor Dragon descend, arriving at the gathering of the three camps.

"Oh? Isn’t this Brother Lin You?"

Seeing him appear, the leader of the Human Race camp, Chu Zhenyue, brightened his eyes and quickly came forward.

"Why are so many gathering suddenly? Did something happen?" Lin You jumped off the dragon’s back and asked in confusion.

After yesterday’s event, he had heard of Chu Zhenyue.

Regarding this fellow who initially called for unity and seemed like he’d value harmony, Lin You didn’t have much aversion.

However, not waiting for Chu Zhenyue to speak, Qing Feng’s voice sounded from the side.

"News came back just now that someone found the ancient lair of the Eternal Realm, and we’re preparing to launch a surprise attack."

"Found the ancient lair of the Eternal Realm? Where?"

Lin You’s expression was astonished, it was faster than he imagined.

"It’s on the other side of this city, already confirmed."

The other side...

Lin You couldn’t help but turn back, looking toward the depths of the battlefield.

Crossing through there is the other side of the city.

Of course.

They wouldn’t be foolish enough to traverse the central area overrun by high-level demons. They just need to bypass from the peripheral area.

Although it will take more time, it is much safer, and won’t deplete their forces along the way.

"Brother Lin You, would you like to join us?" Chu Zhenyue asked with a smile.

With Lin You’s strength, having him join would undoubtedly greatly enhance their fighting power, ensuring a better chance of breaking the Eternal Realm’s main base.

Others upon hearing this also looked towards Lin You.

"I’m in."

Lin You thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Attacking the Eternal Realm’s main base is a perfect opportunity to earn magic energy and battlefield merit, which he surely won’t miss.

"Since that’s the case, let’s get ready, we’ll set off in ten minutes. We need to act before the Eternal Realm notices."

Upon hearing Lin You’s answer, Chu Zhenyue smiled and promptly turned to organize within the team.

As soon as ten minutes were over.

The entire massive team, at the command of three leaders, mounted their steeds and majestically headed towards the other side of the city.

"By the way, is there anyone guarding the base?"

As the base grew farther away, Lin You couldn’t help but look towards Cyan Phoenix beside him.

He planned to exchange more Faith Treasure Pearls over the next couple of days, hoping the base crystal wouldn’t be damaged upon their departure.

"Don’t worry, each camp has a thousand lords for defense, along with some remaining freelancers, completely secure."

"Moreover, we’re launching a surprise attack, even if the Eternal Realm knows our movements, they won’t react quickly."

"Is that so? That’s good." Lin You slightly nodded, relieved quite a bit.

Three thousand plus lords should barely hold till they return.

Even if an accident happens, it won’t quickly let the people from the Eternal Realm attack the base inside.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but gaze at the team alliance’s troops.

To his surprise, after just one night, the team alliance had already elected a new leader.

It was none other than Tang Wentai of the Eternal Realm!

It’s known.

The Eternal Realm is the mastermind that demolished the Ancient Realm.

The lords from the Ancient Realm upon seeing this guy would probably go mad.

Still daring to show up and sit at the position of camp leader, not sure if it’s commendable courage or overconfidence in his strength.

Yet, he was too lazy to be bothered by others’ affairs.

Even hoped that guy would be seriously wounded, so he could benefit and possibly grab a lot of resources.

"Hey? Old Wang? You’re still alive?"

While thinking, a voice of surprise and doubt suddenly came from the nearby flying team.

An Insect Type Lord, with a face full of astonishment, looked at another slightly pale, bald-headed man.

"Yes...yes, fortunately, yesterday I managed to escape."

The person called Old Wang was evidently taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly replied.

"So that’s how it is; yesterday I saw you got your throat pierced by an Eternal Realm species, and thought you couldn’t survive." The Insect Lord said to himself.

Old Wang dryly chuckled, looking slightly unnatural: "Maybe you saw wrong? I was only scratched."

After finishing, he subconsciously shrank his neck to use his collar for cover.

The Insect Type Lord believed he didn’t want others to see the scars and credulously began to tease, without noticing Old Wang’s abnormality.

But Lin You in the distance, due to the angle, clearly saw.

He distinctly saw that Old Wang’s throat had a conspicuous scar, almost piercing through to the back.

What sort of holy medicine could heal such a fatal wound?

Perhaps even the Seed of Life obtained from the Elf Race didn’t have such strong effects?

Moreover, why would that person lie about being only slightly injured?

This prompted Lin You to discreetly keep an eye, silently assessing the lords within the team.

Then he noticed, some people just like Old Wang, bore seriously severe injuries.

Some even had their chest with a big hole, yet remained perfectly fine, simply wrapped with a cloth band and there wasn’t even a bloodstain.

Something’s wrong.

There’s definitely something wrong with these people.

Lin You’s expression gradually became serious, sensing something amiss.

However, before he could further observe.

Chu Zhenyue’s call came from the front.

"Everyone prepare, about to activate acceleration skills."

With the sound dropped, several lords possessing group acceleration promptly activated their ability, instantly boosting the team’s speed and blurring the vision.

Helplessly, Lin You had no choice but to temporarily suppress his doubts, gradually slowing down to retreat to the back of the team while observing the surrounding environment.

Until more than an hour later, a voice suddenly echoed ahead from Cyan Phoenix.

"Everybody pay attention, we’re arriving!"

A hushed shout made everyone’s heart tremble, looking towards the distance.

At the sight’s end, a vast structure akin to their base stood at the city’s edge, appearing ancient yet solidly built.

On the city walls, many bizarre figures seemed like the lords specifically stationed to defend the base of the Eternal Realm.

But the numbers compared to their mighty thirty thousand pale in comparison.

Furthermore, as the intel stated, the main forces of the Eternal Realm weren’t inside the base; they had thoroughly expanded out to the battlefield chasing lords from various realms.

It’s the perfect opportunity to attack.

"Great opportunity! Everyone charge with me!"

"Kill them for me!"

"Full speed ahead!"

Without any hesitation, the three leaders roared in unison, accelerating into a sprint, directly heading towards the Eternal Realm’s base.

Seeing this, the lords from various realms swiftly picked up speed to follow.

"Charge!"

"Exterminate the remnants of the Eternal Realm!"

"Charge!!"

The deafening battle cries suddenly erupted.

Causing the entire sky to violently tremble.
