Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 484: Chapter 331: Raid Battle Armor, Refinement of the Spirit Mountain

As they spoke, Kailo took the black Battle Armor from the Mechanical Girl Commander. Without waiting for a reply, he hastily threw it on, and the moment he was suited up, he vanished into thin air, having teleported away.

Kailo felt the scenery blur before his eyes. In the span of a single breath, he had arrived in an unfamiliar land.

”Ding! Attention, Assassin. You have bypassed the Strongest Royal Court’s World Line and Border Barrier and have descended into its inner domain!”

”Ding! Deep Space Detector running in overdrive. Raid Battle Armor fully activated. Attention, Assassin: The Raid Battle Armor is only effective for 24 hours. During this period, you can receive informational prompts from the Deep Space Detector and can contact it at any time to teleport back. After 24 hours, the Raid Battle Armor will lose all functionality, and you will no longer have access to the Deep Space Detector’s services!”

”Ding! Current location confirmed: Second layer of the underground world, known as the Wukong Dojo, situated inside Great Spirit Mountain. The Strongest Royal Court’s Heart of Chaos has been detected. It has undergone modifications and is now the Eco-Core, located at the summit of Great Spirit Mountain!”

”Ding! Warning: You are now only one kilometer from the Eco-Core. Guarding the path ahead are 6,666 Green Demons with an average of Level 80. Please be careful.”

Kailo heard the voice coming from within the Battle Armor and couldn’t help but nod, muttering, ’As expected of the Nine Rivers Divine Country. Their technology really is advanced. This Battle Armor even gives me voice prompts, almost like system notifications. Impressive!’

Muttering to himself, Kailo strode forward.

As for some army of Green Demons, he couldn’t have cared less. All he wanted was to finish the mission quickly and go home.

And just as the Deep Space Detector had reported, Kailo had taken no more than a dozen steps when a buzzing suddenly filled the air ahead. A vast number of strange, green-headed insects, each the size of a calf and shaped like a fly, appeared.

They gathered in dense swarms, a truly horrifying sight.

’So it really is an army of Green Demons? But so what?’

Kailo shook his head as flames erupted from his body. A phantom image of a Divine Dragon materialized behind him. He strode forward fearlessly. As Green Demons dove toward him, they would burst into flames before even getting close, then struggle, shriek, and fall to the ground, dead.

’Bugs are just bugs. Nothing more! If the Strongest Royal Court has no other defenses, destroying its Eco-Core will be a quick affair!’

As Kailo muttered to himself, he suddenly saw a misty light swirling up ahead.

A Secret Realm had opened.

Great Spirit Mountain contained folded space and held numerous random Secret Realms. These realms would appear at random, usually offering minor opportunities, containing either resources and materials or playing host to wild monsters.

The sudden appearance of the Secret Realm piqued Kailo’s interest. ’This mission is easy anyway,’ he thought, and strode toward the realm, soon vanishing into the misty light.

After he vanished, the surviving Green Demons grew restless. Not far away, the Eco-Dominator, Wukong Daoist Sun Wukong, suddenly materialized. The swarm of Green Demons immediately gathered around him, buzzing as if tearfully recounting their grievances.

”An uninvited guest has descended upon Great Spirit Mountain...”

Wukong Daoist’s brow furrowed. He looked toward the summit, where the Eco-Core was.

Protecting the Eco-Core was Wukong Daoist’s ultimate mission. Having detected Kailo, he dared not be careless. He immediately mobilized all available defensive forces in the Wukong Dojo and simultaneously notified the other Divine Bodies and his main body.

At that moment, Wang Yi, who was still in Jiang City searching for miners, felt the summons and his heart jolted in alarm.

’Someone actually managed to sneak into Great Spirit Mountain? Damn it, are they trying to backdoor my base?’

Even Wang Yi felt a flicker of panic.

If the Eco-Core were destroyed, even if his sanctuary protected him from immediate death and the penalty of a forced class change, he would still lose his territory. All his functional buildings would be razed, and the Eco Royal Court he had worked so hard to develop would be reset to nothing. That was a loss he could not bear.

’I can’t let them succeed. I have to go back and help immediately!’

At that thought, Wang Yi immediately used a Town Recall Scroll, setting Shanhai Pass in the Wukong Dojo as his destination. With a flash of light, he instantly teleported away.

Upon arriving at Shanhai Pass, Wang Yi rushed to Great Spirit Mountain without pause. In less than two minutes, he had joined Wukong Daoist Sun Wukong.

”So the intruder is inside that Secret Realm up ahead?”

Wukong Daoist had already passed on the information, so Wang Yi knew the intruder had entered the Secret Realm. He now stared at its entrance, which looked like a drifting wisp of white mist, giving no clue as to what lay within.

Just then, Wang Pingyi, King Grand Grade, and Wang Panwu also arrived. Wang Panwu had just finished stabilizing a small world.

Wang Yi hadn’t had a chance to inspect that small world up close yet. From his territory on the ground, it appeared as a silver moon!

”To be able to cross the World Line and Border Barrier so silently and arrive here... this intruder’s methods are extraordinary. He must be a true expert. I wonder if the Waga Royal Court sent him. Men! Monitor him closely...”

Wang Yi waved his hand, and Great Wind and Cloud Banners immediately appeared, planting themselves in the ground all around. Wang Bushi and the others had arrived as reinforcements.

”Wang Pingyi, move the Eco-Core to the Eco Battlefield! The rest of you, guard this position. I’m going to refine Great Spirit Mountain first. That should force the intruder out. Let’s see who this ’sacred master’ really is!”

With that said, Wang Yi flew up into the air.

When he had attacked the Waga Royal Court, he had destroyed several large mountain ranges rich with ore and hadn’t repaired them with Mountain and River True Qi afterward. Now, however, he planned to refine a few great mountains for his own use, bringing his count back up to Nine Mountains and restoring some of his power.

The first great mountain he intended to refine was Great Spirit Mountain.

Great Spirit Mountain was both a special structure and a true mountain. It was far from ordinary. Its interior contained countless folded spaces, making it large enough to cover a hundred-li-wide region—an absolutely massive mountain. It could also increase the territory’s Spiritual Energy density and directly advance the evolution of the local ecosystem.

Before, when Wang Yi was focused on ecological evolution, he had been unwilling to refine Great Spirit Mountain. But now, facing a powerful and unpredictable enemy, he had to increase his strength by any means necessary. Refining Great Spirit Mountain was the most logical choice, and it would also force the intruder out.

Besides, if he dealt with this formidable enemy, he could always release Great Spirit Mountain again!

Wang Yi was a man of action. He quickly received a system notification: refining Great Spirit Mountain required one hundred billion Chaos Energy!

This was an amount that an ordinary Player could never hope to gather. But Wang Yi was different. He had a special agreement with the system and received ”death compensation” from it every single moment. To him, Chaos Energy was just a number.

One hundred billion Chaos Energy—Wang Yi already had it!

He chose to refine Great Spirit Mountain without hesitation. As the hundred billion Chaos Energy was consumed, Great Spirit Mountain immediately began to tremble.

”Ding! One hundred billion Chaos Energy consumed. You are now refining Great Spirit Mountain...”

”Ding! Refinement successful. Congratulations! You have obtained the Mountain God of Great Spirit Mountain and a draught of Mountain and River True Qi. Your Physique has been greatly enhanced. The Mountain God of Great Spirit Mountain comes with the Sumeru Divine Techniques. This is a special Space Divine Technique that can create a Jiezhi Void, usable after equipping the Mountain God of Great Spirit Mountain!”

Along with the system prompts, Wang Yi’s body erupted in a golden radiance. He had completed the Refinement of Great Spirit Mountain, and his level shot up by five, reaching Level 475!

’This Great Spirit Mountain really is something else. I’ve finally found a Mountain God Treasure Armor that comes with an actual skill!’

Elated, Wang Yi focused his will. The entire Great Spirit Mountain dissolved into a point of light that flew into the space between his eyebrows. As a consequence, however, the entire Wukong Ecosystem underwent an ecological regression, and its evolutionary progress was set back.

At the same time, all living creatures within the mountain were expelled. Kailo reappeared as well, standing with a deep frown as he scanned his surroundings, his expression quickly turning grim.

’I was just about to clear that little Secret Realm. Why was I suddenly teleported out...’

As Kailo’s mind raced, his gaze suddenly locked onto Wang Yi.

He could see Wang Yi’s information, and his heart leaped in surprise.

Of course, in the information he was seeing, Wang Yi’s name was Taishang, and his level was 470!

’Taishang, the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court. So I’ve run into him after all. A new Player who’s 10 levels higher than me, tsk tsk. The young generation is certainly something to behold. Kids these days are beasts. But a high level doesn’t automatically mean high combat power!’

Kailo ignored everyone else. His gaze sharpened as he looked at Wang Yi and said, ”Little Lord, what do you think would happen if I decided to destroy your Royal Court?”

Wang Yi, of course, could also see Kailo’s information. He snorted coldly. ”You want to destroy my Royal Court? Then I’ll have no choice but to mobilize the full might of my Royal Court and annihilate you right where you stand.”
