After Nieyan and Sun killed Xue Kuangdao, Nieyan scooped up the equipment dropped by Xue Kuangdao. Using a Dash Step, he swiftly dashed past the players of Zhantao Xie Xue, disappearing in an instant.
Sun acted even more decisively, directly using a Random Teleport Scroll to escape from the battlefield.
The sudden death of Xue Kuangdao stunned the players of Zhantao Xie Xue. They never expected Nieyan and Sun to take down Xue Kuangdao so quickly.
Xue Kuangdao was a swordsman with a massive 4200 hit points, supported by more than ten priests providing healing. Under such circumstances, his one-hit death was simply unbelievable.
Normally, a heavily armored, high-health warrior like Xue Kuangdao would take at least 20 seconds for an average rogue to kill, even if he stood still and allowed himself to be attacked.
With Xue Kuangdao’s death, Zhantao Xie Xue immediately lost its leadership. Although they had always been commanded by Angyi Tianshi, all orders from Angyi Tianshi had to be relayed through Xue Kuangdao. Once Xue Kuangdao fell, none of the players in Zhantao Xie Xue could issue authoritative commands.
Zhantao Xie Xue’s command temporarily fell into confusion.
Seeing Nieyan and Sun take down Xue Kuangdao, the players from Niuren Tribe were greatly inspired.
“Boss Nieyan, you’re amazing!”
“Way to go, Sun!”
…
Despite being outnumbered, Niuren Tribe managed to barely stabilize the situation while still holding the disadvantage.
By this point in the battle, Niuren Tribe’s forces had suffered heavy losses, but their results were impressive, having eliminated over 800 elite players from guilds like Zhantao Xie Xue.
On the main battlefield near Kelps Fortress, after Zhantao Xie Xue withstood the first wave of attacks, they stabilized their frontline using armored catapults as support, dealing heavy blows to Niuren Tribe’s players.
In this frontal battle, the armored catapults demonstrated their immense power, continuously launching red-hot iron projectiles toward Niuren Tribe’s forces, wiping out large swaths of players with each shot.
At least five to six thousand players from Niuren Tribe had already been instantly killed by the red-hot iron projectiles, leaving the battlefield littered with corpses, a truly gruesome sight. However, Niuren Tribe’s players did not stop, continuing their fierce assaults on Zhantao Xie Xue, eliminating many of their opponents.
Watching Niuren Tribe’s players charge forward in waves, regardless of the bombardment from the armored catapults, the Zhantao Xie Xue players couldn’t help but feel a bit fearful.
“Damn it, the Niuren Tribe players are really crazy!”
Zhantao Xie Xue’s frontline was gradually pushed back. Under the powerful bombardment of the armored catapults, Niuren Tribe had to pay a heavy price for every inch they advanced.
Just as the battle reached a deadlock, a deafening war cry erupted from all the surrounding hills and high grounds. A dense mass of players appeared, all belonging to Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire.
Nieyan’s voice chat activated, and Ban Xing’s voice filled with hearty laughter came through: “We finally arrived not too late, Falan is here too.”
Players from Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire charged down from all directions, engaging Zhantao Xie Xue’s forces in chaotic combat. The entire battlefield became a vast expanse of fighting, with confusion reigning as it became impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Niuren Tribe, Jiulan Shendian, Shen Sheng Luoma Empire, along with Niuren Tribe’s five branch guilds, collectively outnumbered Zhantao Xie Xue’s forces by at least threefold. The advantage now shifted to Niuren Tribe, and the tide of victory began to turn in their favor.
Upon discovering the arrival of reinforcements, Niuren Tribe’s players were filled with renewed morale, launching even fiercer charges.
“Brothers of Niuren Tribe, Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire have come to support us! Let’s wipe out Zhantao Xie Xue together!”
“Kill all Zhantao Xie Xue players!”
The battlefield was soon filled with a murderous aura as Zhantao Xie Xue’s forces began a full retreat.
Falan reminded in the group chat: “We shouldn’t celebrate too early. Be cautious, the Mage Alliance and Shen Sheng Shouhu’s forces are right behind us and will arrive soon.”
“The more the merrier, I was hoping for more opponents,” Nieyan smiled, glancing at the time. The Abomination Lord should be emerging soon.
Falan was somewhat surprised. Was Nieyan really this confident? After all, Zhantao Xie Xue, Mage Alliance, Shen Sheng Shouhu, and Tianshi Baye had gathered a large number of elite players, along with nearly 150,000 ordinary players, and two armored catapults. Their strength was far superior to Nieyan’s side.
After hearing Nieyan’s words, Ban Xing showed a satisfied smile: “Just hearing you say that is enough. You must have a hidden strategy, kid!”
Ban Xing understood Nieyan quite well. Nieyan never did anything without confidence.
Upon hearing Ban Xing’s words, Falan didn’t say anything else, seeing Nieyan’s composed demeanor.
As they were chatting, another massive group of players charged in from the distant plains, covering the entire landscape, seemingly endless.
The Mage Alliance and Shen Sheng Shouhu had arrived, with about 60,000 to 70,000 players. These were high-level players from the Mage Alliance and Shen Sheng Shouhu, their equipment clearly superior to any guild present.
With such a large number of players joining the battle, the war scene became even more spectacular.
The main battlefield in front of Kelps Fortress was primarily between Niuren Tribe and Zhantao Xie Xue, while the outer areas became a chaotic battleground involving Jiulan Shendian, Shen Sheng Luoma Empire, Niuren Tribe’s five branch guilds, Mage Alliance, Shen Sheng Shouhu, and others.
Additionally, Kaixuan Empire also sent a large force, about 70,000 players, committing nearly all of their remaining strength.
As for Guangming Shengyan, they remained inactive, holding their forces outside the battlefield, all according to Nieyan’s plan.
Outside Kelps Fortress, the endless plains and hills were filled with players from various guilds, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Meanwhile, on a distant hill, the summoning of the Abomination Lord had reached its critical moment. Twenty mages stood in their designated positions in a unique formation. In the center was Tang Yao, whose mana was the most abundant among them, reaching an astonishing 6000. With the support of an Arcane Elemental, he was the primary source of magical power for summoning the Abomination Lord.
Three mages, including Yaoyao, Yiwang Ran Zhi Qingchun, and Xihuan Jiangnan, stood in a triangular formation. They extended their right hands, palms upward, with magical elements swirling above their palms. Within the magical energy were three relics of Phenas: Phenas’ Fang, Phenas’ Eye, and Phenas’ Venom Sack.
The remaining sixteen mages stood approximately one yard apart, forming a circular formation centered around Tang Yao, enclosing Tang Yao and the other three within it. Each held a staff, chanting incantations one after another.
On the ground beneath their feet was a massive hexagram magic circle. Powerful magical energy swirled above the hexagram, which emitted dazzling light like an ancient ritual, causing the space to fluctuate abnormally.
A slumbering body awakened in a distant otherworld…
It was an ancient and primordial existence, possessing boundless power.
The power of the hexagram pierced through space, slowly drawing it into this world.
After over an hour of chanting, finally, Tang Yao uttered the last syllable.
Due to the Mage Alliance and Shen Sheng Shouhu’s superior player strength compared to Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire, the outer battlefield began showing signs of retreat for Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire.
Falan anxiously said: “We won’t be able to hold on much longer.” He looked at Nieyan, who remained calm and composed, which only made him more anxious. If this continued, Jiulan Shendian and Shen Sheng Luoma Empire would suffer a major defeat.
“Wait a little longer.”
Nieyan glanced at the time again, a slight smile appearing on his lips. It should be emerging now.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Everyone felt an unusual fluctuation in the air. A smell of decay spread out.
This scent came from another world, filled with corrosive and deadly energy. The dark force caused everyone to change expressions.
Many players were intimidated by this overwhelming power. They looked toward the distant hills, where the mountains seemed to collapse, and the deathly aura made their spirits sink, giving them a sense of impending doom. All players on the battlefield experienced a significant drop in their stats.
“What’s happening?”
“I don’t know!”
A powerful beam of black light fell from the sky, striking the hillside. A massive crater formed on the hill, and gradually, a plump, giant beetle over ten yards tall slowly crawled out from the crater, revealing its ferocious form. Its entire body was dark golden, covered in white spots, gleaming metallically. Its body was covered with sharp spines, including its eight legs. Its long nose on the head resembled a horn, like a beast from ancient times.
It had finally appeared! Nieyan smiled slightly. He wanted to see how Zhantao Xie Xue, Mage Alliance, and Shen Sheng Shouhu would handle this level 100 Lord!
Abomination Lord, a level 100 Lord with two million hit points!
The appearance of the Abomination Lord caused everyone to tremble in fear!
Falan looked at Nieyan in shock and asked: “This is your hidden strategy?” He never expected Nieyan to summon such a powerful creature. The armored catapults had been acting as killing machines since the beginning, inflicting heavy losses on Niuren Tribe’s players. However, even the mighty catapults paled in comparison to this formidable level 100 Lord.
The Abomination Lord shall be the master of this war!
