Chapter 316: Rank 4 Ancient Treasure Shield of Truth
ording to Najnmu, thoserge flesh monsters each possessed a stature close to ten meters, in terms of physique, strength, and restorative ability, they had caught up with Rank 6 Transcendent beings, some of the extrarge ones were alreadyparable to Rank 7 creatures, and at that point, there were already a number of four to five thousand amassed there.
This was using a massive number of low-level Nightmare Creatures as cannon fodder to deplete his vitality, and then using the dead bodies of the cannon fodder to create high-endbat power.
“What a nasty tactic!”
If it hadn’t been for the discovery of these anomalies, and the fact that a ck Dragon could sneak in, if the opponent created arge batch of high-end flesh monsters, Lin Xiao might have suffered a huge loss.
Now that he was aware, naturally, he couldn’t wait for the opponent to continue growing stronger.
Lin Xiao immediately mobilized all of the n, including all kinds of golems and war machines stationed in the Divine Realm, and they all came out, advancing on three fronts, with the central main force’s direction of attack aimed at those Flesh Nests.
His sudden attack did note as a surprise to the other side, the Children of Nightmare also knew this was the most critical battle and didn’t dare continue to gather more troops, the central main force hadn’t advanced ten kilometers before encountering the enemy’s main force.
Nearly five thousand high-endbat forces above Rank 6, including more than thirty Rank 7 giant flesh monsters, two Legendary Nightmare Creatures, and although the real body of the Child of Nightmare had not descended, Lin Xiao could still sense the opponent’s true body had already awakened, ready to join or support the battlefield at any time.
This battle was essentially the grand showdown, directly determining who would win or lose; once he lost, it would be aplete disaster.
For this reason, Lin Xiao had decided, no matter the cost, he had to defeat the opponent, and they could worry about whates afterter. If he lost now, it would be all over.<div>
For this, he had already made preparations to descend in True Body, once it came to a critical moment, his True Body would descend.
The two massive armies drew slowly closer, with no tactics employed, just advancing head-on.
Apanied by a muffled explosion, the first wave of Rain of Fire technique from Fire Elements descended, hundreds of high-level Fire Elements summoned Rain of Fire, turning the sky into a world of mes.
But the opponent was well-prepared; the Nightmare Creatures activated their Nightmare Power to resist, and the newly formed flesh monsters had also enhanced their resistance to mes, so the sky filled with fiery rain did less damage to the enemy than expected.
When a dozen Rank 7 giant Fire Elements began to cast pseudo-Legendary Fire Laws in unison, the opposing Nightmare Lord spared no effort and personally intervened to resist.
This Child of Nightmare had an abundant reserve of Nightmare Power, blocking more than a dozen pseudo-Legendary Spells in quick session. Even though Lin Xiao sensed that the enemy’s aura had only weakened a little over one-third, after a pause, the aura began to slowly restore.
“Boom!”
A Stone Golem with spiked stone fists smashed into a Wolf-shape Nightmare Creature. Some spikes shattered while others pierced into the body of the Nightmare Creature, which, in a frenzy, bit a chunk out of the golem’s stone arm.
Not far away, a Steel Golem’s punch smashed away half of a Bear-shape Nightmare Creature’s torso, while another Human-shape Nightmare Creature’s sword struck sparks on the Steel Golem’s back. The golem’s body rotated 180 degrees, and with a swing of its greatsword, it decapitated the Human-shape Nightmare Creature.
Compared to Stone Golems, Steel Golems had much harder bodies.
Three Nightmare Creatures dismembered a Small Fishman, not far away an Asura Naga leaped over and cleaved another Nightmare Creature in two with a swing of its de. A horizontal sweep of its de bisected yet another, while the final frenzied creature that leaped at it was smashed away by the Naga’s thick dragon tail. A swing of the de sliced the Nightmare Creature in the air in two, its organs spilling everywhere.
A Flesh Monster, standing over twenty meters tall, charged and shattered a Rank 6 Water Element, while rda, observing the battlefield, ordered a few Water Elements to withdraw, revealing a Rank 7 Asura Naga Knight over ten meters long. With a flick of its thick dragon tail, it sprung from the ground and chopped downwards in midair.
The giant Flesh Monster, without fear, charged forward, and the two massive creatures collided with a heavy thud.
After a brief struggle, the Supreme Naga unsurprisingly pushed therger Flesh Monster aside, sweeping its Great Guan Dao across, chopping off arge chunk of flesh.
The Flesh Monster roared back, but couldn’t harm the agile Supreme Naga. Instead, as the de’s light shed continuously, chunks of fleshrger than round tables were carved off. In less than half a minute, the massive Flesh Monster was reduced in size by a whole tier, its body covered in blurry, pus-yellow fluids spurting out, until it was finally beheaded, dead.
At the Rank 7 level, the Flesh Monster, with only size and strength, was no match for the Supreme Naga.
In terms of Constitution, Strength, Speed, or battle experience, the Supreme Naga utterly crushed the Flesh Monster.
In the rear, two Legendary Creatures from the Nightmare Realm were gathering their strength, and they could not avoid stepping into the battlefield in this fight.
Kurbert, the me Lord who had been conserving his strength, slowly rose to his feet. A swarm of Fire Elements followed Him into the battlefield, melting the Earth along the way into a small river ofva.<div>
On the other side, rda also picked up one of hismonly used weapons, a reforged, ultra-long Great Guan Dao. He now had several sets of weapons meticulously crafted for him by the Earth Dwarves, including an anchor tens of meters long, a giant Shield, a super-sized sword of the same length, and a huge Bow, along with more than ten ultra-long spears, each also tens of meters in length.
Only Legendary Creatures can withstand other Legendary Creatures; although transcendent beings of a lower rank could swarm and kill them, the losses would be great, and he could not bear that.
Moreover, the prerequisite for lower rank transcendent beings to swarm and kill a Legendary Creature is the ability to restrain the opponent from fleeing. If the opponent cannot be restrained, then no matter how manye, it won’t be enough.
Lin Xiao still had confidence in his two ns, after all. Whether it was the me Lord or rda, they were both outstanding among their peers of the same rank. rda had even been capable of challenging Rank 8 Legendary Creatures when he was at Rank 7. Now that he had reached Rank 8, fighting those of the same rank was still a breeze for him.<div>
The four Legendary Creatures slowly converged. The me Lord went up against the six-winged Wingmen, who were also magic-based, while rda faced off against the several tens of meters tall Legendary Nightmare Beast.
Lin Xiao looked up towards the distance where the power of the Nightmare Lord was extremely active; it was possible that it would aid his subordinates in interfering with this battle.
Or perhaps, it would strike at his own Incarnation.
So he wisely retreated back to the center of the battlefield, back under the protection of his subordinates.
Two Rank 7 Grand Magicians and four Rank 7 Asura Naga could even stand their ground against a Legendary Creature momentarily.
Apanied by an earth-shaking roar, the me Lord was the first to act. The great being, whose fiery body stood over a hundred meters tall, with mes boiling, unleashed a burst of Hero Aura. Wherever the Aura passed, the grey mists of Nightmare burned away to nothing. It then reached out towards the heavens with a grasping motion, as streams of me from its many Fire Element attendants coalesced into its raised hands.
The oppositional six-winged Wingmen, upon seeing this, swung his Scepter, and the Void before him began to copse inward. Around him, Nightmare Power converged into a vortex that quickly coalesced into a pitch-ck orb of light. As the Scepter directed, countless thick bolts of dark Lightning burst forth, enveloping the skies and cleaving downward.
Kurbert, upon witnessing this, let out a great shout, as the streams of fiery light rushed by and elerated into his raised hands, merging into a ball of mes several meters across, wrapped in zing white fire. He swung down his arms in a forceful motion, and as the white light dispersed from the surface of the fireball, it revealed a ming Warhammer smashing towards the Void.
“Boom!”
An unimaginable Power of mes pressed down, forming an arc-like wave, resembling a Shield that blocked the myriad of lightning, casting out dazzling firelight.
mes and the ck Lightning obliterated each other. Kurbert lifted his Warhammer to strike again, unleashing a line of fire — powerful and horrifying like an aurora — shooting straight out from the face of the hammer, piercing the Void towards the six-winged Wingmen. The opponent’s Scepter stilled before him, as the giant Gemstone atop it glowed with dark light. The consolidating Nightmare Power once again formed into a ck orb of light akin to a ck Hole, colliding with the fiery aurora.
Compared to the shy and dazzling battle between the two magic-based Legendary Creatures, the fight between rda and the Legendary Nightmare Beast was much less extravagant.
The two mighty beings slowly closed in on each other, while their apanying soldiers, overwhelmed by the increasing pressure from both sides, had no choice but to clear away, leaving an empty space between them.<div>
When the distance between them shrank to less than a hundred meters, a column of light descended on the head of the Legendary Nightmare Beast, and its presence surged rapidly, followed by a heaven-shaking roar. Nightmare Power from several kilometers around converged upon the Beast’s body, forming ayer of ck Armor.
Then, the Beast took heavy steps forward and swung its de down.
On the other side, rda suddenly lifted his head, and without any visible action, a circle of invisible energy erupted from him, distorting and squeezing the surrounding airflow into a colorful Aura.
This was a phenomenon created by the intense pressure of an overwhelmingly powerful being’s presence on the air. Such a scene is not something a normal Legendary Creature, or even a Legendary Dragon, could create.
Then, Lin Xiao saw that the power of the Nightmare from the dome of the Nightmare Realm converged into a huge hand that pressed down from above. At the same time, the Legendary Nightmare Beast had already brought its weapon down.
In other words, as soon as the Legendary Nightmare Beast made its move, the Children of Nightmare began to interfere, suppressing rda. However, they did not dare to make a move personally.
Then, Lin Xiao’s Incarnation only felt the space before him suddenly expand as a presence of immense strength burst forth from its seal and mmed brutally into the Legendary Nightmare Beast at a speed so fast, not even his Incarnation could see clearly.
In that very instant, a bright sh of light followed by a piercing roar resounded abruptly, only to end just as suddenly, followed by a massive spray of blood shooting into the sky as a colossal Beast’s head flew up hundreds of meters into the air beforending on the ground.
Legendary Nightmare Beast, one-shot kill!
rda, meanwhile, was seen holding his weapon, half-kneeling on the ground. The Invisible twisted the air around him, and the ground sank more than three meters deep within a few hundred meters radius from his position, creating a huge pit. Countless cracks spread from the epicenter of the copse in all directions. In the center of those cracks stood a headless Beast’s body, its fresh blood spouting like fountains, streaming down its torso.
Despite the interference of the Children of Nightmare, rda had forcibly in a Legendary Nightmare Beast. His strength at this moment had surpassed Lin Xiao’s expectations.
With such a powerful n member, he felt an immense pressure.
