Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 684 - 678: That’s Not What You Said When You Were Hunting Me

Sponsored

"Quick, that guy named Lin You is just ahead!"

Across the boundless wilderness, a dozen Tier Twelve Lords rode swiftly on their mounts, constantly approaching the direction of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm.

They were the forces that received the news earliest in the nearby cities.

Upon hearing that capturing Lin You would earn them hundreds of thousands of Law Crystal Stones, they immediately dispatched teams to rush over, eager to claim the bounty before others.

Soon.

The team passed through the wilderness and arrived outside the area shrouded in blood, carefully searching everywhere.

"Found it, over there!"

Suddenly, one of the lords flying in the air shouted, pointing towards a slowly rising spiral in the distance.

Peering through a thick blood mist, they could vaguely see the silhouette of a giant tree, the incarnation of the World Tree within Lin You’s territory.

"Haha, it was all too easy; the 500,000 bounty is ours."

"Let’s go, let’s check it out first. This time, we must catch him."

"If it doesn’t work, killing him would still earn us a bounty of hundreds of thousands."

According to the information, the bounty target this time had only the strength of a Level 4 Quasi-God.

But they had several Level 5 Quasi-Gods or higher in strength; with so many people acting together, it should be a piece of cake.

Excited, they immediately summoned their species.

Tens of thousands of Tier Twelve Soldiers formed an encirclement, delving into the bloody vortex, ready to prevent Lin You from escaping at any moment.

In the sky, a large number of flying species were circling, monitoring inside the vortex.

However.

They failed to notice.

When they stepped into the range of the blood mist, the surrounding crimson mist gradually turned deep purple, under the circulating airflow, spreading throughout the team in an instant.

"Something’s not right. Why is the blood mist changing color?"

Finally, one of the most powerful lords, a Level 7 Quasi-God, noticed the abnormality, his expression becoming uncertain.

Following that, the other lords also reacted, and their faces suddenly changed.

"Not good, the gas is toxic!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Amidst panicked cries, several lords immediately retreated, fleeing outside the blood mist.

The weaker ones who were slower, were contaminated by the toxic gas, and with a "thud," fell to the ground.

Their species succumbed simultaneously.

Like mowing wheat, they fell in patches, uttering cries of anguish.

"Save... save me..."

A Level 1 Quasi-God’s eyes bulged, clutching his throat desperately, his skin stained a deep purple by the toxic gas.

But before other lords could rescue him, his feet were suddenly entangled by something, and amidst a wretched scream, he was dragged into the red mist, disappearing without a trace.

His species met their demise as well.

"Damn it!"

The remaining lords were filled with rage and shock; just a single encounter ended in the instant death of a Tier Twelve Lord. Could the adversary have an ally of Level 8 Quasi-God or higher?

Not daring to linger, they immediately activated acceleration skills and fled outside.

Then, the sounds of dying screams echoed behind them one after another; in no time, several more lords perished, dragged away by the unknown monster.

The terror of the scene left them utterly shaken.

"Those damned bastards, they gave us false information!"

"This is definitely not just a Level 4 Quasi-God; it’s at least a Level 8 Quasi-God!"

"Run! It seems something is chasing us!"

The remaining few, whose strength was generally above Level 5, were extremely fast.

In desperation to save their lives, one even fully activated their skills, recklessly dashing outward, his species forming a protective circle around him.

But to their utter disbelief.

Just as they were about to escape the blood mist, two colossal black shadows suddenly descended from the sky, crashing down towards them.

"Watch out!"

An Angel Lord cried out, and his species immediately deployed the Holy Light Shield, protecting several lords within.

The other lords reacted swiftly, each activating defensive skills, layers of thick light enveloping their bodies.

"Boom!!"

"Crack—"

The deafening impact, accompanied by a sharp sound, exploded on the shield.

Before they could even react, the shield shattered with a crash, and those two enormous creatures punched down, reducing two lords to pulp.

Instant kill!

With just one strike, they instantly killed two Level 5 Quasi-Gods.

The remaining three were gripped with terror, their faces turning pale as death.

For standing before them were two Tier Thirteen Qiongqi Giant Beasts!

To command Tier Thirteen demons in battle, how was this possible!

At this moment, they had no words to describe the shock in their hearts.

Seeing their two companions tragically killed, they turned and fled towards the outside, wishing they had more legs to run faster.

Yet what awaited them were two towering rays of black light, encompassing the area where they stood.

Soon after.

Their species all fell, enveloped in a shroud of death qi, rising as skeletal summoned creatures.

In an instant, their location turned into a sea of skeletons, countless skeletons enclosing them tightly.

Death Sacrifice!

A skill only usable by Legendary Level Undead Species and Boss Level Undead Monsters!

Seeing the surrounding soldiers instantly turned into skeletons, the remaining three lords’ knees went weak, screaming in terror.

"Spare us, we just accidentally intruded!"

"Please, let us go! I will give you anything you want!"

They knew well that Lin You was surely watching from somewhere within the blood mist, and these demons clearly took orders from him.

If they wanted to live, they could only plead with Lin You.

Beg him for mercy.

But unfortunately.

At this moment, Lin You had no favorable impression towards the lords, especially since they came specifically to hunt him down.

Accidentally barging in, how ridiculous.

During the previous pursuit, no one claimed to be just passing by.

"Kill them."

A cold voice echoed amidst the bloody air.

A Tier Thirteen Undead Grandmaster emerged from hiding on the other side, and several black rays shot out, precisely hitting the foreheads of three people.

The three who were kneeling and begging for mercy suddenly froze in action, thumping to the ground, eyes wide open, filled with terror.

Only then did Lin You make his appearance, walking towards their corpses.

Beside him were two Three-headed Flood Dragons, two Qiongqi Giant Beasts, and two Undead Grandmasters, all at Tier Thirteen Boss Level.

Equivalent to Tier Thirteen Legendary Species.

They were arranged by several Leader-level subordinates of Jiu Ying specifically to protect his territory’s safety.

This was to ensure that he could trade resources with them properly.

Yet, just one day had passed, and someone was already impatient to deliver themselves, allowing him to deeply understand the terror of Tier Thirteen.

In barely two minutes, more than a dozen Tier Twelve Lords were all dead, sparing none; the battle record was terrifying.

Considering this, he managed to escape from the siege of the Grand Elder and Elder Seven, truly thanks to the reversal ability of the Time Law.

"Let’s go, first deal with the bodies."

Saying a word to the Demons and Royal Family nearby, Lin You went straight to the Lords’ corpses, picking up the resource balls they had dropped.

Including the Lords he had just slain, there were a total of twelve, one-third of which were Level 5 Quasi-Gods and above, an impressive harvest.

This was much faster than if he had fought himself.

In delight, he glanced at the Demons, discovering they were devouring the species corpses on the ground.

The more flesh and blood they devour, the stronger they become.

After consuming enough high-tier corpses, there is even a chance to ascend to Tier Fourteen or awaken bloodlines, evolving from Boss Level to Leader Level.

While Boss Level possesses high intelligence, it cannot speak.

Ascending to Leader Level would completely awaken intelligence, akin to the previously mentioned Three-headed Flood Dragon Leader, thus breaking free from the realm of ordinary demons, stepping into the level of high-level demons.

Ordinary demons are merely fodder for consumption or devouring by high-level demons.

Lin You paid them no mind.

After checking to ensure nothing was missed, he took all the resource balls and passed through the bloody air, returning to his territory.

[Would you like to use the "Resource Ball"?]

"Use them all."

[Successfully used, acquired the following resources:]

[Tier Twelve Law Crystal Stone x64150]

[Tier Eleven Law Crystal Stone x5632]

[Tier Ten Law Crystal Stone x5800]

...

64,000!

Hearing the prompt, Lin You’s eyes brightened.

These Level 5 Quasi-God Lords were indeed different, carrying so many Law Crystal Stones.

Previously, he had slain more than ten Tier Twelve Lords, only yielding over 40,000.

Counting the crystal stones obtained from several Demon Leaders, he now had around 200,000.

Finally, he could fully recruit 50,000 Extraordinary Species and still have a surplus for absorption upgrades.

This Eastern Extreme Demon Realm was truly his fortune land.

At this pace, flattening the Pantheon was within reach.

"Oh right."

Suddenly, Lin You had a flash of insight, recalling the ten Legendary Species Token Fragments he had gathered during his escape.

He immediately retrieved them from his personal space.

[Legendary Species Token Fragments (Random) are complete, would you like to synthesize?]

"Synthesize."

Shu!

Light brightened.

The ten fragments swiftly merged, transforming into a dark golden token.

[Congratulations, you acquired a Legendary Species Token: Temple Assassin (Humanoid Type)]

Uh...

Well.

This time, luck wasn’t as good as last time, randomly getting an assassin species of Humanoid Type.

Looks like it will have to be saved for later, to be exchanged for a Plant Type.

Stowing the token, Lin You opened the recruitment interface, starting to recruit Legendary Level Illusionary Divine Grass for mutation, preparing to build a powerful Extraordinary Plant Legion to guard his territory.

...

On the other side.

In the Divine Realm city thousands of miles away.

After a night of spreading, a major news burst like a hurricane among Lords.

"Did you hear? The fugitive guy actually established a territory on the outskirts of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm."

"Huh? How could a human possibly establish a territory there??"

"Exactly, if you said it was a Beastman Race Lord, I might reluctantly believe, humans sound too far-fetched."

"But aren’t the Beastman Race mostly at the southern end of the Divine Realm? It’s trillions of kilometers from here."

"Absolutely true! If you don’t believe, go find out, many people received the news!"

Astonished exclamations echoed throughout the streets, making the entire street lively.

The Eastern Extreme Demon Realm was known as the forbidden land for Lords.

Someone managing to establish a territory there and remaining unharmed was indeed shocking.

Moreover, many sensed the scent of profit.

While the three Elders of the Pantheon, having just arrived in the city, frowned at the discussions around them.

"The news has spread; we must act quickly." Elder Three said softly.

Beside him, unexpectedly present, the Grand Elder came along, ready to capture Lin You with thunderous means.
