Chapter 433: Chapter 429: Forceful Infiltration
Can the stronghold cornerstone of the Eternal Realm also be used to exchange things?
Upon hearing this, Lin You’s eyes lit up.
Ever since their stronghold cornerstone was destroyed, he had been troubled by his inability to exchange for enough faith beads.
Now, suddenly hearing this news, it was truly a timely help, bringing him immense joy.
"Are you sure you’re not lying to me?"
Lin You’s sharp gaze fixed on the two.
"Absolutely not lying, it’s what we personally heard from the mouth of several Eternal Realm lords, I swear on my life!"
"I swear too! It’s absolutely true!"
The two lords hurriedly answered, almost on the verge of kneeling before Lin You.
Their intense desire to survive was undeniable, convincing Lin You of their sincerity.
Of course.
The fact they weren’t lying didn’t necessarily make the news true.
It’s possible the Eternal Realm deliberately spread this news to lure lords from other realms.
Nevertheless.
This was still good news for him, giving him hope of exchanging for faith beads.
"Alright, you may leave."
True to his word, Lin You no longer troubled the two.
"Re... really letting us go?"
The two lords cautiously eyed Lin You, retreating uncontrollably.
Seeing he didn’t speak, finally they didn’t linger, quickly mounted their steeds and fled, disappearing in an instant.
"Let’s go, let’s see over there."
Lin You ignored them, leading his species troops continued advancing toward the Eternal Realm headquarters.
Throughout the entire day, he had slain over twenty Eternal Realm lords, and seven or eight lords from other realms.
Along with dispatching monsters, his magic energy had accumulated to over two hundred million, battlefield merit reaching 33 points.
If he could exchange it for faith beads, it would be 3000 points of faith power, quite a substantial number for him.
Thus, advancing as he cleared away monsters.
Soon.
Lin You arrived once more near the Eternal Realm stronghold.
It was already afternoon.
Beside the Eternal Realm stronghold, lords came and went, scattered all over the city walls.
Lin You hid inside a dilapidated pavilion half a kilometer away, watching the streets laid waste by the war, observing their every move.
Then he reached a conclusion.
Forcing his way from the sky was virtually impossible; likely getting surrounded by those lords before even crossing half the way, let alone entering the walls.
Yet he wasn’t too worried.
He had a stealth skill, could absolutely sneak into the stronghold while the enemy was distracted.
Just a few seconds, enough time to exchange things, then escape with random teleportation.
The only current problem was how to approach the stronghold entrance under heavy surveillance.
After all, stealth skill only lasts for 30 seconds, must be used near the entrance to be timely.
Can’t just charge in recklessly, right?
Uh...
Maybe that’s not impossible?
Lin You’s expression turned strange.
After all, his ultimate goal was only to get close to the stronghold cornerstone, not to destroy it.
Given his escape skills, as long as coordinated well, escaping shouldn’t be any problem.
The more he thought, the more feasible this plan seemed.
Finally, he resolved to prepare on the spot.
Choosing not to act at night was due to more lords being present, easily noticing abnormal vibes from him, unfavorable for his actions.
By comparison, daytime was safer; even surrounded, the numbers were limited, precisely the best time to force entry.
After ten minutes had passed.
Lin You completed his preparations, ascending to the pavilion top.
Taking a deep breath, he summoned the Demon Emperor Dragon.
Then, amidst a howling gale, sped out of the pavilion, flying straight toward the Eternal Realm stronghold.
"Accelerate!"
With a command, the Demon Emperor Dragon immediately used the Rapid Shadow skill, rushing fast toward the stronghold before the Eternal Realm lords could react.
In no time, he reached within less than two hundred meters of the stronghold.
"Strange, why is there a Plant Dragon flying toward us?"
At this moment, the lords on the Eternal Realm walls finally noticed something amiss, questioning aloud, drawing everyone’s attention.
Next, they paused, expressions suddenly changed.
"Wait, this isn’t one of ours, it’s from another realm!"
"Enemy attack! There’s an enemy attack!"
Cried out calls sounded on the walls.
The Eternal Realm lords moving nearby darkened their faces, quickly converged toward the entrance.
Above the stronghold, numerous flying species emerged, immediately blocking Lin You’s path.
Indeed, just as his reconnaissance indicated, aerial route was a no-go.
"Descent!"
Decisively, Lin You ordered the Demon Emperor Dragon to dive quickly, leaping to the ground, then dispatched the Dragon, exploding toward the stronghold entrance.
"How bold, daring to invade our stronghold alone!"
"Quick, stop him!"
The intruder’s appearance caused chaos in the Eternal Realm base, lords constantly approaching from all directions, forming an encirclement outside the stronghold.
Seeing the gradually blocked entrance, Lin You’s eyes narrowed.
Four-leaf Protection activated!
Barbaric Roar activated!
Rapid Shadow activated!
Cunning activated!
Suddenly, his speed skyrocketed, transforming into a blur darting through the crowd, heading straight for the entrance.
With the addition of the Cunning skill, his aura blended with the Species temporarily, disrupting their attacks.
By the time the Lords reacted, he had already slipped through the entrance like a loach, rushing into the battlefield.
Mirage!
Without hesitation, he activated the Stealth Skill, entering a 30-second invisible state.
"What’s happening? How did he suddenly disappear?"
"It’s the Stealth Skill! He’s heading towards the battlefield foundation!"
"Quick, protect the battlefield foundation!"
The Lords gathered at the entrance swarmed into the battlefield, rushing towards the foundation.
At this moment:
Lin You had already utilized his formidable speed to pass through the outer regions and reach the center area where the battlefield foundation was, just as his stealth state expired.
"There he is!"
"Attack! Don’t let him near the foundation!"
The Eternal Realm Lords reacted swiftly.
As soon as they saw Lin You appear, they immediately surrounded him, a barrage of attacks pouring out, locking onto him instantly.
Lin You’s eyes blazed like lightning as he summoned the Forest Sage, directly activating the Peaceful Domain, clearing all attacks.
Then, he approached the battlefield foundation.
Just as the two said, there really can be recruitment and exchange!
Moreover, the durability of nearly a million was hanging above.
Without further thought, his fingers swiftly slid, opening the exchange interface to convert all the resources into Faith Treasure Pearls.
"Where’s the intruder?"
At this moment, another team of Lords emerged from inside the battlefield, hurrying over from a distance.
Just as Lin You closed the interface preparing to teleport, he caught sight of a familiar figure at the front of the team, and he froze.
"It’s you?"
"It’s you!?"
Two voices of astonishment and uncertainty exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Lin You was shocked to see Chu Zhenyue appearing before him, completely unprepared to meet him here, especially as he stumbled upon the evidence of his collusion with the Eternal Realm.
It seems the people of the Eternal Realm are unaware of Chu Zhenyue’s actions.
Nor do they know about him being a lackey of the Eternal Realm.
Otherwise, given their enmity with the Eternal Realm, they would never easily allow Chu Zhenyue to live.
Discovering their scheme would likely attract a lot of trouble.
After giving Chu Zhenyue a deep look, Lin You didn’t hesitate, directly activating Random Teleportation, disappearing with the Forest Sage in an instant.
Chu Zhenyue paused for a moment, his expression quickly darkening.
"He actually saw us with the Eternal Realm together, it’s trouble now."
One of the Lords in the team frowned and said.
Evidently, they hadn’t expected to encounter Lin You here.
Once the news of their collusion with the Eternal Realm spreads, they will face furious pursuit from Lords of all realms.
That’s not the most crucial.
Their biggest worry is about the Eternal Realm.
If the Eternal Realm finds out about their previous actions of silencing, knows they were working for the Eternal Realm, they will definitely turn on them, even chase them at any cost.
The wrath of the dying is something they cannot withstand.
More so considering there’s still nearly two days before the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms ends.
Such a lengthy time is enough for the Lords of the Eternal Realm to crush them countless times.
"What should we do?" Someone asked worriedly.
"At this point, we can only kill him, find him and eliminate him to prevent further trouble!" Chu Zhenyue said in a low voice.
"But with his strength, it’s not easy to kill him."
"No worries, even if he’s strong, he can’t deal with so many of us at once. When we act together, setting up an ambush, he won’t have anywhere to run."
"Alright, I’ll track his location immediately!"
The Realm Alliance team led by Chu Zhenyue numbered over a thousand.
Although Lin You’s strength far exceeds a typical Tier Eight Lord, he wasn’t confident he could fight against so many at once.
This is why he felt it troublesome.
Given Chu Zhenyue’s ruthless and vicious style, he certainly wouldn’t let him go, wanting to silence him.
Lin You had confidence in his ability to read such people.
Luckily, he ran fast enough.
In just a blink, he had already teleported to another position in the battlefield.
Yet, this time his luck wasn’t as good as last time, directly teleporting him to the central area of the battlefield, a district filled with SSS-Level Tier Nine Demons!
"Thankfully, I wasn’t teleported directly into the Demon Nest."
Lin You glanced around, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
His current location was beside a broad cluster of artificial hills.
These artificial hills seemed to be used for sightseeing and were very clean inside, devoid of any Demons lurking.
Moreover, the surrounding rock walls could serve as natural defense, fending off Demon attacks.
"Well, I can stay here for the night."
Lin You glanced at the sky, which was beginning to darken, giving up the thought of leaving here.
SSS-Level Demons are dangerous, but as long as they don’t appear in groups, he is confident he can handle them.
Also, in such a place, he didn’t have to worry about being found, making it a decent place to take refuge.
With this thought, he began setting up around him with the Plants.
