True lords, at the very least, are at the Legendary Level, with the highest comparable to a True God, indeed surpassing their current level.
This also demonstrates just how powerful the true lord creatures are and just how terrifying he is as a pseudo-lord. He is certainly not a mere showpiece. “That puts my mind at ease!”
With a snap of his fingers, a dozen Undead Mages waved their magic wands and ordered the Undead Army to charge.
On the other side, Li Cheng, recovering from the shock of discovering the Flame Lord, hurriedly ordered a full charge by all troops.
Earlier, he had thoughts of staging a proper battle by commanding his forces, using sophisticated tactics such as frontal suppression or flanking maneuvers to showcase his command abilities. Now, those thoughts had vanished into thin air, leaving only one thought in his mind: to crush the Undead Army at the fastest speed possible and then engage fully with the multiple Fire Elements summoned from the Flame Melting Sea. If they were quick enough, they might just manage to fight back.
At this moment, his mind was devoid of the confidence he once had, replaced by restlessness and resentment. He kept muttering under his breath:
“I’ve come this far, the top three is within reach. I can’t lose, 1 can’t lose…”
“Summon Fire Elements!”
Lin Xiao commanded in a deep voice.
The pseudo-Flame Lord within the plane roared towards the sky:
“In the name of the dominator of the Flame Melting Sea, 1 summon my subjects!”
Countless fiery vortexes of various sizes appeared out of thin air within the Magma Sea that had covered a diameter of two to three kilometers, and thrilled Fire Creatures, riding on the fierce flame magma erupting from the vortexes, rushed out from the Fire Elemental Plane. Even Lin Xiao was surprised by their numbers.
It’s the same spell to summon Fire Elements, where ordinary Fire Elements typically only summon one of equal level or a few of a lower level.
However, a single Flame Lord’s summoning of Fire Elements culminated in a breath-taking moment with more than ten Transcendent Level, Super Large Fire Elements, among which was a Rank 7 Elite Fire Element. It was an utterly terrifying feat.
The number of Fire Sprites nearly doubled, expanding the Land of Flames almost twofold. The Earth melted into a huge Lava Lake, and over a thousand Fire Sprites frolicked happily in the lake. The high temperatures generated by their convergence considerably raised the temperature of the entire plane. As endless flames converged toward the center, the vast body of Kurbert, the Flame Lord at the heart of the Flame Melting Sea, slowly rose. Many Fire Sprites swirled around, and Kurbert’s arms, formed of flames, lifted, his deep and powerful voice echoing within the plane:
The sky turned red swiftly as a whirlwind of flames appeared in the Vault of Heaven, quickly expanding. Red light spread rapidly to the edges of the ten-kilometer plane.
Li Cheng gaped at the enormous flame vortex in the sky’s center, with a Flame Meteorite slowly emerging from within. The meteorite and the plane repelled each other, causing the Void to redden and twist. Countless thoughts echoed in his mind, eventually converging into a single word.
“Fuck…”
Legendary Spells — Skyfall Meteorite!
Through the authority of the Flame Lord and with the power combined from over fifteen Transcendent Level Super Large Fire Elements and hundreds of Fire Elements of various levels, Kurbert, a Rank 6 being, managed to cast a Legendary Spell two major levels above his own.
What would be the result of a Flame Meteorite over fifty meters in diameter appearing within a plane only ten kilometers wide?
Destruction on a cataclysmic scale!
The end of the world!
Accompanied by a deafening bang, a kilometer-wide flame mushroom cloud slowly rose. A tremendous ring of flames swept mercilessly against the Crystal Wall at the edge of the plane, obliterating everything within its range by an indescribable force.
Whether it be the Demon Legion of Li Cheng or Lin Xiao’s own Undead Legion, along with most of the Fire Elements, everything was reduced to dust under this world-shattering force, leaving only a few Magma Elements and Transcendent Fire Elements hiding beneath the Magma Sea that escaped disaster. Even the additional summoned Transcendent Fire Elements were forcibly returned to the Fire Elemental Plane. Less than ten beings were still alive in the entire plane.
Even the Flame Lord Kurbert had by then returned to the Fire Elemental Plane. After all, invoking a Legendary Spell two levels above his material plane existence, his body disintegrated immediately upon summoning the Meteorite.
This is the power of a cataclysmic Legendary Spell. Even demigods would hesitate to face it directly, and true gods would also need to expend a considerable amount of Divine Power to withstand a direct hit from a meteorite.
Using such a powerful move in a confined space means hurting the enemy at a great cost to oneself, but in the end, he won.
Li Cheng left with a face full of frustration and helplessness, leaving behind three cards, among them the glittering Demon Legion Card.
As it turned out, as the challenges went on and Lin Xiao persevered, he found his luck getting better and better. The further he went, the more likely he was to draw the best items from his opponents.
He suspected that with each victory over his opponents, he was also plundering their luck. Having continuously won up to this stage, the luck he had accumulated was truly formidable, no less than that of the so-called Europe Emperor. Now in the top ten stages, each time he drew cards, he could almost always get the best few from his opponents.
Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, this is a contest of luck, and Major General Keri probably set the rules of the contest for reasons beyond just seeing who is the luckiest.
Every victory is actually a plunder of the opponent’s luck. No matter how bad your luck is, after eight or nine consecutive wins, the accumulated luck will be no different from that of a Europe Emperor. There won’t be any instances of still having terrible luck and only drawing trash after defeating eight or nine rounds of opponents.
So now the question arises, how should these two Golden Mythical Quality five-star cards and one Ancient Godly Card for summoning Furious Demons be used?
Currently, Lin Xiao has three ideas: one idea is to continue enhancing the Flame Melting Sea Card.
But the problem is that the Flame Melting Sea Card has already reached the limit of a Fifth Level Card. It seems that a Fifth Level Card cannot directly summon beings of Rank 7 or above. Therefore, continuing to strengthen it will not result in the pseudo-Flame Lord Kurbert being enhanced to Rank 7 or becoming a true Flame Lord. At most, it will increase the number of Fire Elements the card can summon.
For example, more Rank 6 Transcendent Fire Elements, more large, medium, and small Fire Elements, etc.
That is to say, there will only be a quantitative change, not a qualitative one.
The second idea is to continue enhancing the Undead Army Card. This Ancient Card still has great potential for enhancement, after all, the twelve Undead Mages are only at Fifth Level, not even Rank 6. If the enhancement continues and all the Undead Mages are upgraded to Rank 6, the overall strength will be different.
As for the third idea, it is to disintegrate the Undead Card to reinforce the Rampage Demon Legion Card.
Based on the summoned creatures, Demons have more potential and strength than the Undead, especially proficient in charging into battle. According to Lin Xiao’s plan, using the Demon Legion as the vanguard, with the Flame Lord commanding numerous Fire Elements to cast spells from behind, their cooperation will definitely be very impressive.
The main reason Lin Xiao thought this way is that the next battle cannot rely on that Legendary Spell—Skyfall Meteorite anymore. It’s not that he can’t continue to use it, but that he dares not to.
This spell is too terrifying in power and is an indiscriminate spell. The last round was a narrow victory because Li Cheng didn’t have any subordinates with strong life-saving abilities. If in the next round he encounters an opponent with several troops that can withstand the aftermath of the meteorite and survive, wouldn’t that be troublesome?
Having used the spell once and knowing its advantages and disadvantages, he definitely won’t take the risk again.
Unless the opponent’s strength far exceeds his own, perhaps he could try a game where everyone goes down together.
While he was indecisive here, on another battlefield, Wang Jiechao from Yuming Trading Company was defeated by Aria from the Ivy League School Federation.
On another battlefield, Wu Zhonglin’s war with Bart from the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools was about to come to an end. The two had been engaged in a fierce battle for nearly seven hours within the plane, and in the end, Wu Zhonglin defeated Bart with a slight advantage and advanced to the next round.
On the fourth battlefield, Wang Xinhe also won with a slight advantage against the last player from the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools.
At this point, except for Lin Xiao’s overwhelming advantage, everyone else’s advantages were not very large.
Oh, except for Shen Yuexin. Right now, she was sitting alone in the void, holding her exquisitely cute face in her hands as she daydreamed; she had a bye in this round.
With only nine players advancing in the last round, there had to be one bye, which fell to her.
Lin Xiao regained his focus and looked at her as though she wasn’t fully awake, asked curiously, and fell into thought after getting the answer.
A bye was already enviable, but the key thing was that after getting the bye, she drew two Ancient Godly Cards and one Mythical Grade Card from the card pool, making others extremely jealous.
Indeed, the true Europe Emperors were not something these fake ones could compare to, leaving Lin Xiao speechless.
About ten minutes later, the last match between Wu Zhonglin and Bart finally ended. Bart’s figure disappeared, leaving only five people in God’s Tomb Square —Lin Xiao, Shen Yuexin, Wu Zhonglin, Aria, and Wang Xinhe.
According to the rules, another round of battles would determine the top three, and since it will be one-on-one battles, this round would also produce one lucky person who will get a bye and, together with the other two winners, become the top three.
Among the five, four were from the HuaXia District, with only Aria left from the Ivy League School Federation.
Hong Yunfei, the mentor of the Wolf Fang Team, laughed heartily at the observer instructors from the Ivy League School Federation not far away in the void:
“It seems that the quality of your elites this year isn’t up to snuff. You started with such an advantage, and now there’s only one left. It’ll be funny if you can’t even make it into the top three.”
The unabashed taunt caused collective silence on the side of the Ivy League School Federation, with none able to retort, as they had nothing to say.
But silence aside, they weren’t angry, as this situation was normal. At the end of every exchange, the winning side usually taunted the losing side, which had become a traditional routine.
Everyone knew what these exchange matches were all about, and the victor was certainly entitled to a little bragging.
What truly bothered them was not being able to secure first place, as not only would God’s Tomb be out of reach, but also the treasured item inside, which was the real point of discontent.
But the rules had been set long ago, and whether one could win depended entirely on the player’s own fortunes. If they couldn’t match up, there was nothing they could do.
This was HuaXia District’s territory, and the return of Major General Keri’s wraith had already alarmed many big shots watching this place, leaving them no opportunity to play dishonest even if they wanted to..
