Chapter 687: Chapter 682: Melee Part Two

How could he deal with a legion-level opponent of the sixth rank?

He couldn’t go up himself.

Seek help?

The Honored Master might have foreseen this, but now it was definitely too late.

Feng Huai? Just as distant waters cannot quench a nearby fire.

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Xin’s brain was quickly filled with a plethora of strategies, and his gaze gradually settled on the small yellowish-brown sphere he was holding in his hand.

"It seems the key still relies on this."

He pondered thoughtfully.

He was currently standing at the entrance of the Taoist Palace, occasionally seeing groups of small dwarves running around, checking the firmness of the defensive points around them.

The stone roof above was quickly thickened by another significant layer, which made the light inside the Taoist Palace even dimmer, but it was still preferable to being breached.

"Come here," Lin Xin suddenly commanded.

A small group of about a dozen Mountain Spirits quickly gathered.

"Greetings, master!"

The group bowed down in unison.

Lin Xin’s thoughts became clearer, and he transmitted some three-dimensional shapes directly into the minds of these dwarves.

"Can you construct this?" he asked in a deep voice.

The lead dwarf closely examined the shape transmitted into his mind and nodded seriously.

"We can do it, but we cannot inscribe the runes. Everything else is buildable."

Lin Xin nodded slightly.

"Go and build a tower like this around the territory."

"Yes," they replied.

The group of dwarves quickly ran off and soon arrived at the edge of the Wasteland, beginning to move the stones to construct the so-called tower in the direction from which the Void Legion was attacking.

Lin Xin looked up and saw through the protective shield; the Void Legion had reached a few miles away and was dispatching gaseous clusters of void demon spirits flying towards them.

These void demon spirits were mainly comprised of minor void demons and trunk people.

They were violently rushing towards the Wasteland.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xin summoned a group of white-masked Soul Bodies behind him that soared into the sky and penetrated the protective shield to meet the enemy.

The fifth-rank tree demons also started to roar, waving their massive claws, ready to strike at any moment.

Meanwhile, Lin Xin reached into his chest and pulled out an Array Plate, a product of his research into the Thick Earth Formation, decomposed from Earth System Elemental Force.

Extending his finger, Lin Xin began to inscribe on the Array Plate.

Simple miniature formation talismans appeared on the Array Plate, and in no time, a simple Earth Spirit Talisman Formation was effortlessly completed.

"Although I cannot create complex talisman formations, simple ones that compress and release energy are still feasible," he said.

Lin Xin handed over the Array Plate to be buried in the middle of the ground inside the small tower and also provided a Fusion Core Heart to be placed in the center of the Array Plate.

The tower was quickly constructed, and in the sky above, the Taoist soldiers and the void demon spirits had already begun to fight.

The Soul Reapers were ferociously unstoppable, with each contact resulting in the death of a void demon spirit; trunk people were also frantically surging toward them, but within ten meters, they were disrupted by invisible fluctuations released by the Soul Reapers, completely distorting their direction.

Lin Xin’s dozens of Soul Reapers, who had been accumulated over this period, now encircled the Wasteland, resisting the densely packed void demon spirits that surrounded them.

Like raindrops, the demon spirits were continuously destroyed, losing their souls and life force, yet they still charged onward heedlessly.

Their numbers were simply too great, clustering like dark clouds.

The dozens of Soul Reapers were barely holding up the defense line. Each one was simultaneously dealing with tens of void demon spirits.

Within the formation, Lin Xin watched intently as the dwarves completed piling up the final bricks of the small tower.

"It’s ready," he said.

He stepped forward and entered the small tower.

This modest tower, no taller than five meters, was constructed entirely from the earthen materials and baked bricks available in the Wasteland.

It resembled an ordinary cylindrical lighthouse with nothing remarkable about it.

Above the protective shield, the sounds of countless void demon spirits fighting the Soul Reapers several kilometers away could faintly be heard.

Lin Xin looked up and saw that the defense line was clearly beginning to leak. Squadrons of void demon spirits surged through the gaps in the defense, charging straight for the defensive formation’s protective shield.

One of the trunk people swung its white trunk fiercely towards the shield.

Thump!

The yellowish-brown protective shield remained unmovable, and its trunk was instead recoiled by the force of the impact, fracturing joint by joint, with flesh flying everywhere.

It was not just it, other void demon spirits suffered the same fate.

Some minor void demons viciously clawed at the shield, but similarly, their claws were broken and their arms fractured by the powerful rebound of the shield.

This layer of yellowish-brown protective shield, with the outermost layer being the Jade Essence Formation and subsequent layers of various defensive methods continuously laid down, was predominantly comprised of the Thick Earth Formation.

Along with the outer Jade Essence Formation, it also faintly bore the impact of the Thick Earth Formation, possessing a recoiling effect.

Roar!

These void demon spirits disregarded their injuries and continued to viciously pile onto the shield, scratching and hitting it wildly to deplete its power.

Behind them, more and more void demon spirits leaked through, growing increasingly dense.

The Soul Reapers were gradually being surrounded and killed, and the defense line was quickly collapsing.

Lin Xin withdrew his gaze, crouched down, and lightly tapped the stone platform where the Array Plate was buried.

Snap.

His palm lay flat and unremarkable on the surface of the pale red stone platform.

An invisible wave rapidly penetrated downward, fiercely striking the Fusion Core Heart at the center of the Array Plate.

Hum...

A subtle vibration slowly shook the ground of the small tower.

Lin Xin stepped back two steps and quietly waited.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the stone platform was shattered by a burst of yellowish-brown light.

The light soared into the sky, entwined with strands of complex white Elemental Energy, resembling a column of yellowish-brown light with mottled colors on the surface.

The light pierced through the protective shield and burst out of the great formation like a sword, skewering dozens of demon spirits on the shield.

After the yellow light shot out, it paused momentarily.

Boom!!

The second beam shot out again.

The core of the foundation trembled, as the Array Plate continuously extracted this massive amount of power, condensing it into a pure energy beam and fiercely firing it out.

"It’s indeed feasible!"

Lin Xin felt a sense of relief.

He had rapidly created such a basic Array Plate, designed to condense and compress the power of the core and fire it out.

The small tower he built, with its design, could alter the direction of the emitted energy beam.

This Array Plate was very rough, not even bothering with purification, just brutally condensing and compressing the elemental force before explosively firing it out. Hence, its manufacturing speed was quite simple.

What it relied on was merely the massive earth system elemental force of the core.

"Go and construct other small towers immediately."

Having succeeded once, Lin Xin commanded a dwarf to stay behind and target the demon spirits.

The rest hurried to construct similar small towers around the area.

After all, he now had tens of cores accumulated under the Fifth Rank Burning Furnace, the dwarves’ production speed was unusually fast, along with his enhanced attributes.

As long as it did not exceed the upper limit of spiritual power control, he could continuously create cores.

These small towers could entirely be built in small gaps in the corners of the Wasteland.

After instructing them, Lin Xin carefully watched as the small tower, under the control of the dwarf, continuously changed directions, shooting out beams of earthy yellow light.

The external Void demon spirits were quickly swept away, leaving only a few.

The densely packed group of demon spirits was directly vaporized upon being hit by the power beam of the core.

But he did not relax at all.

Such a small number of Void demon spirits, compared to the distant Void Legion that hadn’t fully approached yet, was trivial.

The fierce battle had not truly started yet.

"All Soul Reapers, come back."

He ordered in his mind.

Instantly, outside the formation, the remaining seven injured Soul Reapers, missing arms and legs, broke through the attacking demon spirits and flew back.

Standing inside the earthy yellow protective shield, Lin Xin looked up toward the distant void.

There, a pair of blood-red eyes also gazed back from afar.

"Die... die... go die..."

A series of deep voices stirred directly in his mind.

Lin Xin suddenly shivered, his body’s frightening resistance took effect, forcibly shifting his gaze, and the voices in his mind instantly dissipated.

"Die?" Lin Xin’s face slightly twisted, as if something deep inside him was stirred by the opponent’s oppressive illusion. Painful memories once again surged into his mind.

"No one can kill me!"

He shook his head fiercely, his face showing a fierce expression.

"No one!!"

Thump!

Taking a step, Lin Xin’s figure rapidly flew towards another construction site of a small tower in the Wasteland.

******************

In the Void.

The Demon General with horn-like corners slightly surprised, withdrew his Innate Divine Ability.

"Interesting."

He carefully looked over the small piece of Wasteland territory in front of him, recalling the weird human race cultivator.

"A Fifth Rank cultivator, yet there exists someone who could resist my Divine Ability?"

Touching his chest, the horned Demon General stood up, stretching his body.

He was standing on a piece of black stone debris, surrounded by massive groups of the Void demon spirit army. Each of these groups was composed of tens of thousands of Void demon spirits.

Such groups, spaced out around him, numbered a hundred.

Ahead, one group of Void demon spirits had already charged forward, plunging towards the earthy yellow Wasteland.

But this group of demon spirit army, at that moment, was being continuously sliced and struck by beams of yellow light shooting out from within the protective shield of the Wasteland, surprisingly consuming a large number of them in a short time.

"Xiwa, you go."

The horned Demon General swung his right arm, with a very slight arc.

"Yes...."

A heavy buzzing sound emerged from the void beside him.

Whoosh...

In the void, a black crevice suddenly appeared, like a black vertical line ripping open in space.

From it, a gigantic creature resembling a manta ray, trailing a long blood-red tail, viciously burst out.

This creature, over a hundred meters in length and tens of meters wide, like a huge mass of dark clouds, rapidly plunged toward the Wasteland.

Shh!!

A beam of earthy yellow light shot out, landing on its body, leaving only a scorched small hole.

The creature, unbothered, continued to advance forward.

Trailing behind it were several groups of Void demon spirit black masses.

***************

With upmost speed, Lin Xin installed a core into a small tower and swiftly activated it.

Boom!

Another column of thick yellow light shot into the sky, targeting the giant manta ray-like black creature.

He immediately moved on to another location.

The third small tower shot out yellow light.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

The sixth one....

The beams of yellow light became more numerous and denser, striking the manta ray creature, causing its speed and momentum to increasingly weaken and slow down.
