Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 250: Chapter 248: Tower of Sin

When Lin You returned to the territory, it was already evening.

The Yellow Sand City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The busy residents of the day gathered on the streets to stroll and play, and distant sounds of chatter could be heard.

Lin You did not have the Lantern Grass use its Sound Collection Skill to block these sounds.

Because he loved this vitality of life, it was the only way he could feel connected to the world.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood from recently acquiring great things, he rarely left the territory and decided to stroll on the newly built streets of Yellow Sand City.

“Greetings, Lord.”

“I have seen the Lord.”

On the road, many residents who saw him ran up to greet him.

Lin You smiled in response and continued forward.

Not long after.

He arrived at the training ground within the inner city, just in time to see Elder Yue guiding Wei Gang and a group of cultivators in battle, their shouts resounding continuously.

He stood outside, watching the cultivators spar.

After a while longer.

Yue Daonan finally noticed him and was startled.

“Greetings, Lord.”

He deliberately lowered his voice, but it was still heard by Wei Gang and others resting on the sidelines, who all turned their heads.

“The Lord has arrived?”

“Lord, why have you come?”

Wei Gang and a number of cultivators rose and came to Lin You to pay their respects.

“I’m just here to take a look around, you all continue.”

Lin You smiled slightly, indicating that the stopping cultivators should not mind him.

Then he casually took a look and found that there were quite a few Tier Seven cultivators on the field.

Even Wei Gang’s presence had increased, showing a tendency to reach Tier Seven.

It seems Elder Yue’s guidance is very effective indeed.

Truly worthy of a Tier Nine cultivator.

“By the way.”

At this time, Wei Gang suddenly remembered something and said, “Lord, today’s caravan from the Flame River Kingdom reported that the Tier Seven Demons in the Gobi are increasing, and many in the escort team have been injured. What do you think we should do?”

“The Tier Seven Demons are increasing?”

Lin You’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Recently, because he had been leading his species in external battles, the task of escorting caravans had been handed over to the Yellow Sand City’s cultivator team.

But now it seems that there is still some danger involved.

Moreover, ever since the Saint Radiance Emperor killed the Tier Eleven Lord of the Primordial Evil Realm, their Primordial Realm’s fortunes have greatly improved, and even the number of demons increased rapidly.

The outskirts of the Gobi are manageable.

But deeper areas are likely filled with Tier Seven Demons, unfriendly for escorts.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “In that case, I’ll send some high-tier plants to escort next time.”

“Also, go to Manager Xue and let him recruit more Tier Seven and above cultivators, with slightly increased pay.”

“Okay, I will tell him.” Wei Gang replied respectfully.

The caravan is their Yellow Sand City’s main source of funds and naturally, they couldn’t let anything happen to it.

Anyhow, since it requires escorting only once every five days, sending a Royal Species to lead would not be too troublesome.

With that.

After listening to Wei Gang’s report on the caravan and cultivator recruitment, Lin You left the training ground and returned to the territory.

…

Early the next morning.

As soon as the sky brightened, Lin You was already up.

After simple preparations, he went straight through the Secret Realm Gate and entered the Holy Sanctuary.

Before entering the secret realm, he specifically checked the leaderboard stone.

As expected, as other lords mentioned, the leaderboard had been reset and those on top were almost all around S-level.

However, this month was slightly different.

Some lords had cleared SSS-level secret realms on the first day, and their ratings were not low.

Even the Wen Yanming he encountered earlier only ranked third.

“What have these guys taken? Is the drop rate higher at the start of the month?”

Lin You looked puzzled, and with Lingxi, walked past those lords gathering teammates and entered the secret realm entrance.

[Please select the secret realm difficulty.]

“Tier Seven SSS-level, hmm… let’s go with a 1000 rating.”

This time, Lin You aimed directly for the highest difficulty.

Previously, because the species hadn’t fully formed, he dared not take too much risk.

Now it’s different.

Not only does he have a complete moss species, but he also has the big cannon as a major weapon, making it entirely feasible to challenge the highest difficulty.

So he didn’t hesitate and chose to confirm.

[Difficulty selection successful, allocating secret realm…]

[Due to the extremely high difficulty of the chosen secret realm, please be extra cautious.]

Hmm?

Why was there an extra warning than usual?

Lin You recalled that upon entering a secret realm previously, there wasn’t such a prompt.

Could this 1000-rating difficulty secret realm be different from the 999 difficulty he cleared before?

Unfortunately.

No time was given for further thought.

A suction force enveloped him.

Swish!

With a flash of light, he found himself in a gray mist-filled space, with several prompts sounding in his ears.

[Secret realm allocation successful.]

[Current secret realm: Tower of Sin (Tier Seven SSS-level)]

[Difficulty Rating: 1000 (Highest)]

[Note: Due to infection from the Aura of Chaos, all Demon attributes are increased by 100%. Please be extra cautious.]

[Current Location: First Floor of the Tower of Sin]

“Tower of Sin?”

Lin You murmured in awe, looking around at the enormous space, which didn’t resemble a tower at all.

If anything, it was more like an entire realm unto itself.

Because this tower was just too massive!

He could only see the tower’s inner walls standing tall between heaven and earth, so high that the ceiling was impossible to see.

Then chains hung down from the sky, suspending numerous giant cages, directly above his head.

The ground beneath him was covered in bones and dried blood, staining the entire surface a dark red almost entirely.

Ssss… Ssss…

Suddenly, harsh gnashing sounds echoed from afar, accompanied by a munching noise.

Lin You became alert and immediately summoned all his species.

Led by Cyan Gang, 120 Ancient War Trees carefully approached the source of the sound.

Among these 120 Ancient War Trees, 30 were symbiotic bodies with Moss, while the others were reproduced.

As for the main offensive forces of Explosive Mushroom, Banshee Vine, and Fairies, Lin You kept 25 original bodies each.

After reproduction, the numbers quadrupled, creating an imposing array.

Other species like Cannibal Flower, Cactus, and Dandelion were present too.

Due to a lower rate of mutation, except for 10 original Cannibal Flowers, the others were mostly single digits.

But after splitting, they formed a massive squadron, encasing Lin You securely.

Traversing the bone-covered ground, he finally saw the source of the sound.

It was a group of deformed monsters, small in size, crouched by a blood pool, gnawing on corpses!

[Name: Deformed Brain Demon]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: Tier Seven (SSS)]

[Power: 900 (+900)]

[Constitution: 1000 (+1000)]

[Agility: 1000 (+1000)]

[Spirit: 900 (+900)]

[Skills: Rapid Speed, Brain Waves, Split]

[Chaos: All attributes increased by 100%]

[Introduction: A deformed monster fond of consuming brain matter, extremely fast, capable of splitting into numerous bodies, with strong life force.]

A demon fully maxed in Body and Agility!

Lin You was shocked; these attributes even surpassed his royal species when they were at Tier Seven!

Is this the highest difficulty Secret Realm?

This was just the first wave of monsters, already at such a level.

His symbiotic Moss reproduction species’ highest attribute barely reached eighteen or nineteen hundred, not even two thousand.

If it weren’t for the aura’s blessing, they would indeed be hard to tackle.

While Lin You was in disbelief, those Deformed Brain Demons noticed his presence, abruptly raising their heads and sending waves of roars in his direction.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In an instant, all the Deformed Brain Demons erupted, bursting into shadows, leaping toward Lin You from all directions.

So fast that the eye could barely track.

Some even split mid-air, landing on the chains and cages above, then leapt down fiercely.

Their numbers easily reached two to three thousand!

“Cyan Gang!”

Facing such a rapid assault, Lin You didn’t hesitate, directly instructing Cyan Gang to unleash Barbaric Roar.

In a flash, red light surged, boosting all the plants’ attributes by 30%, meeting the Deformed Brain Demons head-on.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A string of muffled crashes echoed, and the Ancient War Tree Legion at the forefront struck first, each launching a Horizontal Sweep, swinging giant arms and blasting Deformed Brain Demons away.

But to Lin You’s shock, after receiving heavy blows, those Deformed Brain Demons were only seriously injured.

Then, as if nothing happened, they shrieked and climbed back up, pouncing once more.

“Defense Formation!”

Lin You shouted, quickly ordering the plants to change tactics, spreading around the Vine Forest.

Fortunately, the Cyan Rattan’s vines were formidable.

With powerful attribute boosts, massive vines wildly lashed, blocking all the charging Deformed Brain Demons outside.

When other plants’ reinforcements arrived, the situation finally stabilized gradually.

To Lin You’s surprise, the most outstanding performance came from the Flaming Shooter, enhanced by Destructive Dragon Flame.

Alongside the Big Cannon, they unleashed a barrage outside.

The Pea Bullets, imbued with Dragon Flame effects, flew out, piercing through Deformed Brain Demons.

They ignited Dragon Flames on their bodies, halting their splitting and flesh regeneration, falling to the ground with painful howls.

Moreover, the Pea Bullets had a knockback effect.

Even those not killed outright were knocked back, collapsing a large portion of the assault, reducing the pressure on other plants significantly.

“Great! Well done!”

Lin You praised them, also activated the Power of Rule, conjuring Wooden Thorns and knocking down several Brain Demons.

In just a few minutes, the numbers of Deformed Brain Demons dwindled by one-third.

As if sensing they couldn’t break the plants’ defense like this, the remaining Deformed Brain Demons suddenly let out a sharp howl in unison.

Suddenly, an invisible wave akin to ultrasonic waves erupted, enveloping Lin You and all the plants.

“Bang!”

The closest symbiotic Ancient Trees exploded violently!
