Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

In the Great Yue World, mountains stretched as far as the eye could see.

This Newbie World had very few plains, so most Mortals lived in canyons.

Purple Scale City was the largest human settlement in the Rock Python Mountain Range. It wasn’t built in a canyon, however, but atop a series of purple peaks, from which it got its name. Its population exceeded one million.

At the very center of Purple Scale City, on the highest of the purple peaks, stood a manor spanning ten thousand mu: the Purple Scale Mansion. This mansion was equivalent to the City Lord’s residence, and behind it towered a giant, eight-thousand-meter-tall octagonal tower known as the Star-shooting Tower.

This tower was a special structure forged from refined iron. It was incomparably Solid, capable of Automatic Repair, and functioned as a Defense Tower, a Watchtower, and a Rocket Cannon.

At this very moment, at the highest point of the Star-shooting Tower, Doctor Destruction Zandis of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Country sat on a high-backed chair, using the tower’s functions to spy on the Starry Sky.

"Damn it, why hasn’t that Li Jikong come out yet?"

Zandis muttered in a low voice. Using the Star-shooting Tower’s functions, he could see Mingyu Divine Lord and the others in the Starry Sky, and he knew that Wang Yi had already left Mad God Canyon.

He, however, was waiting for Li Jikong.

Among those who had obtained a Void Celestial Treasure from the Mad Secret Realm, the Starry Giant Beast, Great Shock, had already fled long ago. As for the others, Zandis didn’t dare provoke the Bright Moon Divine Lord. Yin Kui and Wang Yi were clearly under the Mingyu Divine Lord’s protection, so he couldn’t touch them. And Godslaying Wizard Jigada of the Demon Realm Royal Court was his equal in strength, someone he was unwilling to antagonize.

This Doctor Destruction also had ideas about killing for treasure. His class was special; upon killing a target, he had an ability that forced them to drop a Treasure. Zandis’s targets were Tie Suifeng and Li Jikong, who had no backers.

However, the moment Tie Suifeng left the Secret Realm, he sought refuge with Jigada, and the two had already departed using a Teleportation Array.

The only one left to rob now was Li Jikong.

But the Mad Secret Realm had already closed, and there was still no sign of the old bastard.

Zandis felt a pang of frustration.

"Sir, you must be tired after your long journey to descend here. Why not stay in my Purple Scale City for a few days? I can show you around. Oh, and you must try our city’s unique Mountain God Fruit! I guarantee you won’t find it anywhere else!"

A slightly overweight Player was carefully waiting on Zandis, holding a fruit platter.

He was the City Lord of Purple Scale City and also a Player named Liu Chenglin.

The World Line of the Great Yue World had long since been breached, and now many Starry Sky Gods and Stellar Influences had descended upon it.

You could say that in the current Great Yue World, newbie Players had to keep their heads down and act meek. Many high-level Starry Sky God Players had descended, and they were an unruly bunch who specifically bullied the weaker Players.

Of course, some Starry Sky Gods had come to develop their own factions, but they all acted high and mighty.

Purple Scale City was arguably the strongest Player territory in the Great Yue World. Before the World Line collapsed, Liu Chenglin had dreamt of conquering the world and looking down on all rivals. Unfortunately, the moment the World Line shattered, a fleet of Cosmic Spaceships surrounded his territory.

Later, Liu Chenglin met the Players from the Steel Royal Court. They were technologically advanced and fully armed, with cannons and guns of all sizes aimed at his territory from the outside. Surrender or be attacked—how could Liu Chenglin dare to resist?

Thus, Purple Scale City now belonged to the Steel Royal Court of the Fourth Dimension and had been converted into the Steel Royal Court’s Purple Scale Base. Liu Chenglin instantly went from being a City Lord to a lackey for the Starry Sky Players, appointed as a mere squad leader.

And the Steel Royal Court was an Affiliated Royal Court of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Country!

A few days ago, Doctor Destruction Zandis of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Country had descended. Liu Chenglin recognized his noble status and immense power, realizing he was a major figure. He resolved to suck up to him and serve him with all his heart, hoping this big shot would take a liking to him and make his own life a little easier.

And what do you know, flattery worked everywhere. Liu Chenglin had now regained some status in Purple Scale City and considered himself Zandis’s underling.

Zandis glanced at the fruit platter Liu Chenglin presented, curled his lip in disdain, and said, "I only drink Gou’s Nutrient Liquid and Da Fen Gene Liquid!"

Liu Chenglin’s face soured. "’Dog Shit Nutrient Liquid’ and ’Big Crap Gene Liquid’? Sir, your tastes are truly unique... but we don’t have those in a poor, remote place like this!"

Zandis slapped the fruit platter away. "Stop with this useless junk! Go and notify the Third Fleet of the Steel Royal Court to assemble. They’re to prepare to enter the Starry Sky and hunt a Starry Sky God!"

"Hunt a Starry Sky God?"

Liu Chenglin’s heart skipped a beat.

’It seems there’s conflict between high-dimension Players, too.’

"Also, this Star-shooting Tower of yours is interesting. The power of a level-nine Rocket Cannon isn’t bad. After you’ve sent the message, come back here and take command. Monitor the Starry Sky, and if you spot an old man stepping on a long rainbow, blast the hell out of him for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Liu Chenglin bowed and agreed.

Zandis was about to resume monitoring the Starry Sky when he suddenly saw a flash of light in the void not far away. A shining portal abruptly appeared.

It was a Stargate!

The one who opened the Stargate was, of course, Feng Qi, the Lord of the Alien Star Royal Court.

But at the same moment the Stargate appeared, a colossal Dragon Claw reached out from within, swiping violently toward the top of the Star-shooting Tower.

"Who is it? Opening a Star Sect here... are you trying to provoke me?!"

Zandis instantly flew into a rage. The shirt on his back split open, and two dark cannon barrels immediately deployed over his shoulders.

BOOM!

Two cannonballs gleaming with golden light blasted out from the barrels, instantly striking the giant Dragon Claw. They shattered it like porcelain, and the powerful destructive force created a shockwave that made the Star-shooting Tower tremble.
