Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 475: Chapter 327: Da Hai City, Commander

Lingen, the Marquis of Tuo Sea, was an old player over eight hundred years old!

In his youth, he too had roamed the Starry Sky, worked as a pirate, and slain powerful foes.

Later, he pledged allegiance to the Waga Royal Court and served as the Marquis of Tuo Sea for over five hundred years. He lived a life of pampered luxury, enjoying the good life, blessed with many children and great fortune. His days were exceedingly comfortable.

He had thought this life of his would go on forever.

But then, a void invasion suddenly began. The Royal Court sent an alert, informing him that an external enemy had launched a National War, and Tuo Hai City was bearing the brunt of it.

His first reaction was fury!

’Tuo Hai City is my fiefdom, and I’m the Local Tyrant here. After living a life of luxury for hundreds of years, who would dare provoke me? Anyone who comes to stir up trouble will die!’

But when he suddenly discovered the invader was named Taishang, at an astonishing Level 470, the Marquis of Tuo Sea felt his scalp tingle and was instantly shocked back to reality.

’Level 470... That level represents the power to roam the Starry Sky uncontested. An existence of that level has already surpassed the Starry Sky Gods. They’re a rare sight even in the Fourth Dimension, and within a Divine Country, they would be a powerhouse on the level of a Venerable.’

”Hahahaha, surely there’s been some misunderstanding...”

Lingen hastily changed his tune while secretly sending a frantic barrage of messages to the Royal Court, trying to establish immediate contact with its high command.

Wang Yi, however, couldn’t be bothered with nonsense. With a press of his palm, a mountain peak materialized in the void—a massive ore-vein mountain over a thousand meters tall. It came crashing down with a deafening ROAR, instantly flattening the garden-like Marquis Mansion below.

The Zhen Dan Hero Mecha and its pilot, Lingen, were naturally crushed into the earth below.

And that wasn’t all. After the mountain landed, it began to release a frigid aura as the Ice Soul Divine Techniques manifested. The chill first spread out like mist and waves, surging in every direction. This was followed by a pulse attack; the frigid energy erupted, and massive ice pillars, each over ten meters high, rapidly shot up from the ground.

”Withdraw!”

Wang Yi raised his hand again. The great ore-vein mountain lifted off the ground, ascended into the sky, and vanished in an instant. Below was a scene of utter devastation. All the machine gun turrets, fire-support watchtowers, and rocket launchers were destroyed. The ground was deeply caved in, and all the buildings had collapsed.

Lingen, however, was not yet dead. He piloted the Zhen Dan Hero Mecha out from under the ground but didn’t dare to fight back, instead turning to flee into the distance.

”And where do you think you’re going!”

Aboard the Bronze War Chariot, starlight flared. The chariot shot forward like a beam of light, instantly appearing before the Zhen Dan Hero Mecha. Wang Yi raised his fist and struck again.

This punch, however, was the Breaking Sky Fist from Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques, unleashing Spatial Power. A single strike shattered the void, creating a pitch-black spatial rift. It swirled like a vortex with an immense suction force, instantly pulling the Zhen Dan Hero Mecha inside.

”No!”

Lingen screamed as if facing utter annihilation. In the next moment, the scene before his eyes changed. He had traversed the void and been sent into the Eco Battlefield.

He saw the towering Five Elements Mountain, he saw swarms of Mushroom People, he saw a black Divine Dragon floating in mid-air, he saw masses of soldiers, and he saw countless banners!

Within the Eco Battlefield, the soldiers had assembled!

This was all part of Wang Yi’s plan. He knew his territory’s forces weren’t yet strong enough, so he didn’t intend for them to charge into the Waga Royal Court and suffer unnecessary losses. He had them assemble in the Eco Battlefield, lying in wait to execute the enemies he sent over with his void-breaking abilities.

And Lingen was the first.

Before he could even react, a loud RUMBLE sounded, and his world began to spin. The mecha’s alarms blared, reporting that it had sustained heavy damage: 5% hull damage, and a 4.2% decrease in functionality.

It was Wang Bushi, who had initiated the attack with a powerful headbutt.

”The enemy is here! Slay them!”

The resurrected Wang Bushi appeared atop Five Elements Mountain, raising the Great Wind and Cloud Banner high, his voice booming like thunder.

The Demon Gun Knight, Xiang Yun, attacked next. He spurred his Demon Dragon forward, his Dragon Gallbladder Overlord Spear flashing with lightning as he charged with the force of a thunderbolt.

Other high-level figures from the territory, such as the Heterodox Sword Immortal Qin Mo, the Celestial Sword Venerable Li Ben, and the Wine Sword Immortal Hai Pei, also made their moves.

Even Cao Dalang arrived, carrying his shoulder pole of sesame seed cakes.

On the peak of another Five Elements Mountain, Zhao Mei, the Sect Leader of the Refining Profound Sect, held the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Refining in her palm. Standing beside her were Liang Xiaoyu, Yun Rou, Yue Zheng, Ji Liangren, and others.

They were a team of Players, assembled here not to fight, but only to spectate.

”Looks like the boss started a National War!”

”I don’t even know why we’re fighting!”

”Hmph, the World Line is being bombarded, and foreign enemies are invading! Damn it, I’m not strong enough to go fight on the front lines!”

”For now, let’s just watch the territory’s soldiers take care of the enemy!”

”I wonder when we’ll ever be able to catch up to the boss...”

The Players sighed amongst themselves. They were still very weak; none of them had passed Level 100, and there wasn’t a single Starry Sky God among them.

On another one of the Five Elements Mountains stood four other Players: Ye Qitian, Li Mingli, Xue Shentian, and Liu Chenglin!

They watched the battle below, where the territory’s experts were focusing their fire on the high-level mecha, each of them rubbing their hands together in excitement.

”The second small world is about to be stabilized! Don’t any of you try to compete with me for it this time!”

Xue Shentian roared, ”I’m going to build myself back up! I have an S-Class Talent, and in the future, I’ll be able to roam the Starry Sky too.”

”Who here *doesn’t* have an S-Class Talent?” Liu Chenglin muttered. ”I’m destined to be a late bloomer. Just give the territory to me, and when I can craft Divine Artifact-level blind boxes, I’ll carry you all to the top!”

Ye Qitian chimed in, shouting, ”I have Unlimited Bursting Soldiers! Let me take over one of the eco-barracks, and I’ll prove my strength through military might and conquer the Starry Sky!”

”Intelligence is the true path to power! Give it to me!”

”Bullshit, military power is the true path!”

”Intelligence, military power—neither is as good as making blind boxes! Stop fighting me over it!”

Xue Shentian, Ye Qitian, and Liu Chenglin gradually began to squabble. Meanwhile, Li Mingli, who had already obtained the Hong Yue territory, felt a sense of superiority. He held a Great Wind and Cloud Banner, already planning to lead three thousand Celestial Eagle Warriors into the fray.
