Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 577: Chapter 378: Destruction and Creation

[Update first, revise later. Please refresh tomorrow. Apologies.]

After returning to his territory, Wang Yi once again gathered the members of the Mountain and Sea Research Institute to continue their research on the exotic mountains and strange seas recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Of the eighty-one mountains and eighty-one seas in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they had researched the majority by now. Wang Yi had only absorbed two mountains into his body through Refinement: Flame Mountain and Honglei Mountain.

After the Refinement of Honglei Mountain, it condensed into the Great Honglei Mountain God Battle Armor. This Battle Armor was extraordinary. Once equipped, Wang Yi’s height would reach nine hundred meters. Lightning would coil around his body, carrying a powerful electric field that provided astonishing defense. Furthermore, there were twelve lightning arrows on his back.

Those twelve lightning arrows were formed from the twelve lightning veins within Honglei Mountain, possessing a devastating destructive force. This destructive force could directly affect the soul, causing it to be damaged or even completely annihilated!

The soul was different from the physical body. The destruction of the physical body was death in the conventional sense, but the soul wouldn’t actually be extinguished. As long as the soul remained intact, one could be resurrected.

Conversely, if the soul was annihilated, resurrection would be impossible. That meant true death and complete erasure—something even the system could do nothing about. Even if the soul was merely damaged, it would severely affect resurrection and reincarnation.

If Wang Yi wanted to use the lightning arrows from Honglei Mountain, a lightning longbow would manifest with a single thought. Shooting these arrows with the longbow was a unique attack method available only while wearing the Great Honglei Mountain God Battle Armor.

However, the Great Honglei Mountain God didn’t just possess offensive capabilities. Its lightning also contained the Power of Creation. This Power of Creation provided Healing to the injured, restoring vitality and breathing new life into them like dead trees in spring. It could even repair a Divine Soul.

Now possessing the Great Honglei Mountain God Battle Armor, Wang Yi’s strength had improved once again, and his Physique had also been enhanced. Yet, his level remained at 600.

”Entering the Dao through martial arts is easy to say, but the difficulty is still immense. I wonder how far my current state of mind is from ascending to the Fourth Dimension...”

Wang Yi pondered silently, feeling that the Realm of the mind was profound and unpredictable. The difficulty of elevating it was immeasurable.

Ten days later, Wang Yi’s seclusion was interrupted.

The sound of rolling thunder echoed from the sky, muffled yet continuous.

Many residents of the territory were drawn out by the noise. They looked up to check for anomalies, though they didn’t pay it much mind at first.

But the thunderclaps grew more frequent and dense. It was so unusual that even a Mortal could gradually sense something was amiss.

”If my guess is right, the people from the Lu Family Stronghold should still be at the General’s Tomb. Pang Damao mentioned that Lu Hongyan doesn’t enter the General’s Tomb. Perhaps there is a chance to... execute a decapitation strike!”

Wang River had already decided to wipe out the Lu Family Stronghold, so he wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

The Lu Family Stronghold was no simple matter. They had over a hundred people, all equipped with crude gear, and there were two Arrow Towers in their territory. A frontal clash wasn’t a good strategy. However, his Crossbow Machine Carriages possessed immense firepower. If they encountered them in the wild, there was a high chance of executing a decapitation strike against the Lord of the Lu Family Stronghold.

”Once the Lord dies, the Lu Family Stronghold won’t be a threat!”

He had, of course, also seen Lu Hongyan. Seeing her wearing Battle Armor and riding a Golden Lion, he was immediately captivated, feeling a sense of admiration.

Before long, they arrived at the General’s Tomb.

The General’s Tomb looked like nothing more than a wild grave on a barren hill, concealed by overgrown weeds without a single tombstone. To Pang Damao’s surprise, Lu Hongyan simply waved her hand over the burial mound. The ground trembled, and a stone gatehouse slowly rose from the earth.
