Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 259: Chapter 220: My Desert Oasis Is About to Disappear

Wang Yi wanted to cut them down at the root, so he piloted the Galaxy Airship to find Luan Bu’s territory.

Soon, he found it!

It was an oasis, filled with coconut trees. At its center was a small, mirror-like azure lake, and a moat-like river encircled its edge, making it quite easy to spot in the Yellow Sand Desert.

But Wang Yi couldn’t get through!

He had come via the Corridor of Chaos, which restricted his movement to a radius of about one and a half miles around the Death Pyramid. Exceeding this limit meant running into an impassable invisible wall.

That very invisible wall was blocking Wang Yi. He was less than a hundred meters from entering the desert oasis, but he just couldn’t get through!

Wang Bushi attempted a head-first bombing run, but it too was blocked by the invisible wall, exploding into a Flame Spear in mid-air.

The machine guns, grenades, Palm Leaf Fan, and everything else were all useless!

Even the Monkey King Avatar couldn’t break through.

’So close, yet I can’t hit them...’

Wang Yi frowned, thoroughly frustrated.

Meanwhile, in the Oasis Territory, Luan Bu and the others seemed to have realized that Wang Yi couldn’t get any closer.

Having lost 200 Scorpion Knights and 200 Yellow Sand Warriors, Luan Bu was frustrated, humiliated, and furious. So, once he was certain that Wang Yi’s group couldn’t cross over, he could no longer suppress his rage and charged forward with his men.

They couldn’t win a fight, but they could certainly hurl insults!

He wouldn’t be satisfied until he cursed them to their faces.

”Dumbass Yang Jian, get the hell over here! I’m standing right here! What are you gonna do about it?”

Luan Bu stood by the river, his back to the oasis. With his hands on his hips, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Behind him followed thirty Scorpion Knights, as well as World Observer Ruan Saint, Holy Knight Zhang Lebao, Earth Knight Niu Wanjun, Sky Knight Sanglock, Forbidden Curse Mage Moriren, Flame Mage Xi Mu, Aurora Mage Qin Mingyu, Earth-shaking Warrior Liao Yan, Summoner Zhang Yuanhu, Frost Centipede Giant Yan Tieju, and Shadow Wizard Feng Bolin.

Ruan Saint narrowed his eyes. As a World Observer, he had analyzed the situation and said, ”There’s an invisible world barrier ahead. We can cross it, but Yang Jian and his people can’t. They haven’t descended into this world; they’re just temporary visitors. However, this barrier will also block our attacks.”

Blazing Flame Knight Xi Mu said, ”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s blast him!”

With that, he hurled a Flaming Storm skill in Wang Yi’s direction.

The skill was also blocked by the world barrier; the fire couldn’t get through.

Xi Mu knew it wouldn’t get through, but casting the skill was satisfying. He used other skills and shouted, ”Hey, you on the other side! Come over here and fight me for three hundred rounds!”

Aurora Mage Qin Mingyu, Forbidden Curse Mage Moriren, and the others stepped forward to join the ”battle.” They viciously launched skills from behind the world barrier while shouting provocations.

”Yang Jian, aren’t you so tough? Then come on over!”

”Pathetic scrub, don’t try to invade if you don’t have the skills!”

”I’ll just stand right here and won’t move. Come and hit me!”

”Just wait till we get stronger! We’ll wipe out your territory in minutes!”

”Our boss has an S-Class Lord Talent and can tame Starry Giant Beasts! Tell me, are you scared yet?”

”I’m a Holy Knight! I can resurrect my companions! What can you possibly do to us?”

”And we have a Soul Altar!”

”We are undying and indestructible! We are the Fourth Celestial Calamity!”

”When I’ve tamed a powerful Starry Giant Beast, I’ll invade your Huaguo Mountain and teach you what an interstellar war really is!”

”This Forbidden Curse Mage will just cast a Forbidden Spell on you then!”

”Come on! If you’ve got the guts, smash through the world barrier and get over here...”

Luan Bu and his group shouted, each one more arrogant than the last.

Below the Galaxy Airship, standing on the yellow sand, Li Longyu frowned in anger. She pointed at Luan Bu’s group and said, ”Those guys are so despicable! I want to go over there and beat them up myself!”

”They’re just a bunch of morons. Pay them no mind!”

Wang Yi waved his hand dismissively. He walked forward and pressed his hand against the empty air, feeling the world barrier.

’It’s an Isolation Skill that blocks attacks... Is there really nothing I can do to them?’

Wang Yi’s mind raced as he tried various methods.

He took out the Acid Bubble Gun but found its bubbles couldn’t pass through.

He opened his Storage Realm, took out the Construction Drawings for Shanhai Pass, and tried to use them, but it didn’t work.

He tried to summon Ji Liangren but received a system prompt stating that summoning was not possible in this special region.

Wang Yi even used the Qiankun Universe Blade, but the great sword couldn’t break through either.

’Damn it. Am I really going to let this pack of annoying grasshoppers chirp away until their time is up?’

As Wang Yi muttered to himself, he glimpsed the river behind Luan Bu and the others.

The river surged, its waters mixed with yellow sand, resembling the Quicksand River as it rushed into the distance.

’Isn’t it strange for such a large river to be in the desert? At this distance, I should be able to use Refinement on it...’

Wang Yi raised his hand and gestured toward the sandy river, attempting to use his Refining Mountains and Rivers skill. He didn’t have high hopes, but he suddenly received a system prompt: ”Ding! The current river is approximately 50 miles long. It originates from the oasis lake and is formed by gushing underground springs. Refinement will consume 16,000,000 Chaos Energy. Do you wish to proceed with the Refinement?”

’Huh, I can actually refine it! This sandy river must have an effect on the Oasis Territory. In that case, I won’t be so polite. It’s only 16,000,000 Chaos Energy!’

Wang Yi had previously replenished his Chaos Energy and now had over thirty million. With a thought, he chose to proceed with the Refinement. His [Commanding Mountains and Rivers] skill activated, and the surging, sandy river immediately began to churn violently, lifting from its bed as if it were about to flow into the sky.

”Huh? What’s happening?”

”What’s wrong with the Quicksand River?”

”Oh no! Yang Jian has a special skill that can bypass the world barrier!”

Ruan Saint cried out in alarm. Among everyone present, only he, the World Observer, could use his Professional Skills to analyze the situation and glean any useful information.
