Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 361: Chapter 272: Great Wind and Cloud Banner, Xuyi’s Advent

Wang Yi figured that Wang Panwu had obliterated space itself with a single swing of his axe, sweeping away the void and eliminating the void invasion at its source.

He hadn’t consumed a single bit of Chaos Energy!

But that one axe swing had come at a cost to his own territory.

First, there was ecological degradation.

It had directly decreased by 15%, and who knew how long it would take to recover naturally.

Second, it had also drawn upon the territory’s foundation, which was an even more immeasurable loss.

However, the rewards were even greater!

Piercing through the Void Rift came with a hidden achievement and the reward of a Treasure Chest.

What was even more amazing was that Wang Panwu’s world-cleaving axe swing had directly forged a small world.

Both rewards could only be claimed after the territory was promoted to a Royal Court, so they were delayed rewards.

”Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques are badass! With these Divine Techniques, what’s there to fear from the Starry Sky God?”

Wang Yi laughed heartily. He then received more system notifications. For surviving the sixth wave of the void invasion, the system had conventional rewards: two Five-Color Treasure Chests, one Random Building Drawing, and 1,000,000 Gold Coins!

These reward items materialized directly in front of Wang Yi. The Random Building Drawing landed in his hand and transformed into the [Great Wind and Cloud Banner Construction Drawings].

[Great Wind and Cloud Banner Construction Drawings: Special Item, Bound. After use, constructs the Great Wind and Cloud Banner in the territory. The Great Wind and Cloud Banner is a special building and special Dharma Artifact, 3,333 meters tall, embroidered with eight magnificent Qilin, and gathers the wind and clouds.

When placed in the territory, the Great Wind and Cloud Banner can generate various weather phenomena like Wind and Cloud Transformations based on the territory’s status, increasing the probability of exceptional individuals being born.

The Great Wind and Cloud Banner also has the Hidden Soldiers skill. With a furl, the great banner can hide a million soldiers. With an unfurl, the wind and clouds transform, and the hidden soldiers appear!

The Great Wind and Cloud Banner can automatically craft up to 36 Wind and Cloud Banners and 108 Small Wind and Cloud Banners. A Wind and Cloud Banner can hide ten thousand soldiers, and a Small Wind and Cloud Banner can hide one hundred soldiers.

The Great Wind and Cloud Banner, Wind and Cloud Banners, and Small Wind and Cloud Banners can be carried personally. When carried, they shrink in size and possess the characteristics of a melee weapon, making them usable in combat.]

”Huh, the Great Wind and Cloud Banner seems pretty good!”

With a thought from Wang Yi, his Space Divine Techniques activated. The Great Wind and Cloud Banner Construction Drawings were sent to the Chaos Warehouse, only to be immediately retrieved by Wang Pingyi.

A few breaths later, the Great Wind and Cloud Banner stood tall in the center of Eggshell Square. It was 3,333 meters high, its surface billowing like clouds, and upon it were eight Qilin embroidered with gold thread, shining brilliantly and appearing astonishingly lifelike.

”The Wind and Cloud Banner is raised! A great enterprise shall rise! HAHAHAHA!”

Wang Pingyi laughed heartily, a laugh both heroic and wild. He reached out and made a grasping motion toward the Great Wind and Cloud Banner from a distance, and a smaller banner, the height of a man, appeared.

That small banner was a Wind and Cloud Banner. Wang Pingyi twisted the flagpole, causing the banner’s surface to roll up and transform into a spear, which he then slung onto his back.

「In the Divine Wind Secret Realm」

Wang Yi’s consciousness returned. ’The Great Wind and Cloud Banner is a powerful structure indeed,’ he thought. ’With this banner to hide soldiers, conquering new lands will be much easier.’

Wang Yi then proceeded to open the Five-Color Blind Boxes. His luck exploded on the very first one, revealing nine options.

====

One: Five Thunders True Heart Spell (Five-Colored, Enhance +1)

Two: Heavenly Light Cloud Shadow Sword (Five-Colored, Enhance +2)

Three: Jialou Ship (Five-Colored, Enhance +3)

Four: Phoenix-Feathered Immortal Robe Outfit (Five-Colored, Enhance +4)

Five: Mysterious Store Construction Drawings (Five-Colored, Enhance +5)

Six: Magic Mirror (Five-Colored, Enhance +6)

Seven: Snowflake Cream (Five-Colored, Enhance +7)

Eight: Patchwork Kesa Outfit (Five-Colored, Enhance +8)

Nine: Seismograph (Five-Colored, Enhance +9)

====

”Nine options... Pity the choices are a bit underwhelming. How am I supposed to choose?”

Wang Yi took out the Luck Blind Box to check it. Opening a Five-Color Blind Box with nine options was equivalent to opening nine boxes, which increased his luck by 729 strands. With just over a thousand more, the Luck Blind Box could be upgraded to Seven-Color Quality.

”I’ll choose the Seismograph!”

After Wang Yi made his choice, a Seismograph shaped like Laojun’s Alchemy Furnace appeared.

The Seismograph’s radiance was restrained. It looked as if it were cast from brass—simple and unadorned, not at all like a high-end item. Yet it was a special tool. Despite being a Five-Colored item, it had only one function: [Monitor Earthquakes].

It had been enhanced nine times, with all enhancements applied to [Monitor Earthquakes]. This ultimately resulted in a special ability called ”Monitor Earthquake Sources”!

”Earthquakes don’t even happen in the territory. What’s the use of this Seismograph?”

Wang Yi muttered to himself, then used his Space Divine Techniques again to send the Seismograph back to the territory. He also sent his consciousness to inhabit Wang Pingyi to study it.

He soon discovered that the ”sources” identified by the Enhance +9 Seismograph were actually the combat units. There was even a ranking list. At the top of the list was Wang Panwu, who was identified as a magnitude 7.6 earthquake source. This meant that a full-power strike from him hitting the ground could cause a magnitude 7.6 earthquake!

Moreover, this ”full-power strike” only referred to pure brute force, without using any skills—it was equivalent to a basic attack.

’A basic attack equivalent to a magnitude 7.6 earthquake... Wang Panwu is truly worthy of being a Cultivator of Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques. He’ll only get stronger from here on out...’

Wang Yi then looked at the other combat units on the list, and they weren’t nearly as impressive. High-level Kings like Taisen, Boyka, and Feng Yuxiu were only rated as magnitude 4-point-something earthquake sources. Even someone as strong as the Eco-Warrior Gegeda was only a magnitude 5.2 source.

Surprisingly, there was someone in the territory named Yun Rou who was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake source, ranking fourth on the list!

Ranking second was Wang Shanhe, the Divine Body of Mountain and River Body Refining, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake source.

Ranking third was the King Avatar in his Great Saint form, whose basic attacks could now cause a magnitude 5.6 earthquake!

’Doesn’t Wang Bushi’s explosion count as a basic attack? Basic attacks, or rather, pure strength, don’t represent overall combat power. This Seismograph’s earthquake source ranking is just a reference for power levels; it’s not very useful in practice. But that Yun Rou... who is she? To have that much strength?’
