Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 495: Chapter 337: Earth

”Oh, this...”

Zhang Aga felt like a monk who was ten feet tall—he couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

’I’m trapped here, cut off from all communication, with no contact with the outside world. How could a debt collector find me all the way out here? What’s the deal with that antique clunker? The system actually force-sold my possessions? This is outrageous!’

Zhang Aga grumbled to himself, feeling rather frustrated.

Beside him, Shen Wuliang, the Lord of the Quantum Royal Court, scanned Zhang Aga, who was left in nothing but a pair of boxers. ”Brother Zhang, what happened to you? Why are you suddenly naked? Did you get tired of playing cards and decide to spice things up?”

Han Ziyu, the Lord of the Ziyu Royal Court, let out a laugh. ”It’s clear Brother Zhang has been sanctioned by the system. I just don’t know what you did to deserve it. To think you couldn’t even keep your clothes.”

Zhang Aga said, ”To be honest, I’m baffled too... But my Waga Royal Court is at war with the Strongest Royal Court. It’s probably because of that!”

”The war isn’t over yet? That Strongest Royal Court... sounds pretty formidable!” As Han Ziyu spoke, he checked the territory leaderboard and exclaimed, ”You mean the Strongest Royal Court that’s ranked 101st!”

Shen Wuliang said, ”101st place? That’s not a low rank at all. That Strongest Royal Court must be a powerful rival. You’d better be careful, or you might just lose your entire territory!”

Zhang Aga sighed. ”Sigh... My territory is full of incompetents. With me not there, I bet that bunch of good-for-nothings has made a ton of stupid moves. Not long ago, they even set off a focused nuclear explosion that did some serious damage to the place. Damn them! But... my territory can be conquered, but it will never be destroyed. The National War can’t be lost!”

”Why is that?”

”Could it be that Brother Zhang has an ace up his sleeve? Why not tell us about it?”

”It’s no ace up my sleeve. I just happen to be carrying the Heart of Chaos with me!”

A smug look appeared on Zhang Aga’s face. As he spoke, he opened his right hand, revealing a golden sphere the size of a grape.

That golden sphere was the Heart of Chaos of the Waga Royal Court.

Due to various random mechanics, as Player territories develop with different opportunities and technologies, their Hearts of Chaos also manifest in various forms.

For example, in Wang Yi’s Strongest Royal Court, the Heart of Chaos had already transformed into an Eco-Core. Zhang Aga’s Waga Royal Court, however, possessed technological power that had turned its Heart of Chaos into a special ”Tech Core” that could be carried around.

Moreover, this Tech Core stored all the territory’s technological information and could be used to rebuild it.

According to the rules, as long as the Heart of Chaos isn’t destroyed or the Lord isn’t permanently killed, the territory cannot be annihilated, and the National War will not end.

It was only because Zhang Aga carried the Tech Core with him that he dared to leave his territory so boldly, letting his subordinates and descendants manage it in his stead.

Shen Wuliang and Han Ziyu both recognized the Tech Core. The former narrowed his eyes and said, ”So it’s a Tech Core. I thought you had the backing of the Nine Rivers Divine Country and could just rebuild your Royal Court from scratch!”

The latter added, ”Carrying the Tech Core with you puts you in an unbeatable position in the National War, as long as you don’t get caught. But... if your territory is ravaged, restoring it must be a hassle, right? Plus, your territory’s rank on the leaderboard will definitely drop.”

Zhang Aga said, ”It’s not that easy to destroy my territory. I’ve got a huge stockpile of tech weapons in my Royal Court. It’s just a shame I’m trapped here and can’t personally command the battle...”

After he spoke, the three of them fell silent.

They were all in the same boat, trapped in the Sealing Sacred Domain with no idea how long it would be until they could escape.

Meanwhile, in the Waga Royal Court, Wang Yi was currently fixing his chariot. He swung his fists, ”beating” a severely warped wheel.

’This Bronze War Chariot took some serious damage. It was almost blown to smithereens. If it had turned to dust with not even a scrap left, I don’t know how I would’ve repaired it...’

Wang Yi muttered to himself. His current [Injury-Immune Divine Techniques] were also incredibly powerful, and the Bronze War Chariot was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the war wasn’t over. Da Hai City was still continuously producing Mechanical Soldier Remains, while from the foot of Five Elements Mountain, a steady stream of Monkey Kings flew out.

A moment later, the Bronze War Chariot was repaired. To Wang Yi’s surprise, the chariot had finally been Enhanced again. The number of warhorses pulling it had increased to forty-nine, arranged in seven rows of seven.

Moreover, all the warhorses had transformed into Bronze Dragon Horses. They had horns on their heads, scales on their bodies, and tails like dragons. With starlight under their hooves, they looked majestic and domineering.

Its collection value was no longer measured in Gold Coins but had reached three hundred thousand Star Yuan.

’My chariot comes with a Star Vortex, and its collection value is only three hundred thousand Star Yuan?’

Wang Yi was still not satisfied. He thought to himself, ’Looks like this chariot needs to take a few more beatings. Spare the rod, spoil the chariot!’

Just then, another huge BOOM erupted from Da Hai City. A new tech weapon had been unlocked. The center of the steel city split open, and an enormous ice crystal cannon slowly rose up.

The cannon was as immense as a mountain. Blue light gathered in its muzzle, and then it suddenly fired. A pillar of blue light shot straight into the sky, blasting open a pale blue vortex.

Then, swiftly, the sky began to freeze, starting from the pale blue vortex and spreading in all directions, as if the very firmament was being frozen solid.

Observing the battle from the sky, Emperor Tathagata, Shen Qing, and the others hastily retreated, each using their own techniques to resist the frigid air.

Five Elements Mountain was directly beneath the pale blue vortex. Enormous ice crystals suddenly materialized in the empty air—so many that they became innumerable in the blink of an eye. They crashed down with a RUMBLE, threatening to bury Five Elements Mountain while bringing with them an extreme chill.

The Monkey Kings charging out of Five Elements Mountain with their staves encountered the frigid air and were instantly frozen solid. Unable to break free, they vanished into nothingness within two or three breaths.
