Chapter 2714: Battle Against Tower Canon!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The elemental pearls spat out by the fire-type Elemental Shellfish now always came with outer radiance. After the Elemental Well purified them, the purity could reach 100%.
Moreover, the elemental dolls had started forming near the Element Well.
If the purity of the fire-elemental energy was the only dependent variable in burning everything in the world to ashes, it seemed that there was no entity or energy that Lin Yuan could not burn to obliteration!
If Lin Yuan had sufficient fire-elemental energy, he would not have to experience the negative effects of Everything to Ashes, and the Abyss Red Lotus’ roots would not be affected!
Lin Yuan was not afraid of clashing directly with Tower Canon, but the Radiance Federation was fixed in its location and could not move. He was very worried that Tower Canon would target the Radiance Federation while he was clashing against them.
Bloodshed and sacrifice would be unavoidable if war broke out between the two sides.
Lin Yuan had the Praying Universe Soul Whale and could ensure that those around him did not lose their lives in this war.
Had the demon insects not been keeping the dead spirits at bay, the dead spirits wave would have already swallowed the entire main world. All the lifeforms in the main world would lose their lives, including the dimensional lifeforms! Only a small number of experts would be able to survive.
But as the dead spirits continued occupying and invading the main world, it was highly possible that the spirit qi would be replaced by death aura.
Spirit qi was released from ley lines. As a result, many energy ores appeared in the process of the ley lines releasing spirit qi.
But with the death aura currently invading the ley lines, the quantity of spirit qi had already lowered considerably.
When death aura leaked out from the ley lines, the existing energy ores would not be affected, but the formation of new energy ores would be limited. Now, there was also the formation of grayish-black crystals that radiated death aura.
If Tower Canon was allowed to succeed in their plan, death aura would become the dominant energy in this world.
At that time, the human experts and powerful feys who depended on spirit qi, as well as powerful Apostles and Dictators who depended on source-type power, would all fall to the disaster created by Tower Canon!
Meanwhile, the dead dimensional lifeforms that depended on death aura would come to dominate the world.
Even if Tower Canon did not manually interfere, Lin Yuan would have to deal with Tower Canon as soon as possible to minimize their impact on the main world.
The humans might seem weaker than Tower Canon, but they had never stopped working hard.
The Scholars were doing research to help the humans increase their understanding of the dead spirits crisis’ impact on the main world.
By causing so much commotion in the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan had forced Tower Canon to surface.
Epoch God Palace was like a plume of mist. Lin Yuan had yet to catch even a whiff of them, much less find the means to interact with them.
The humans would inevitably have to battle it out against Tower Canon.
Although the humans wanted to rest, Tower Canon was charging at full throttle. Yet, the dead spirits wave was being restrained by the demon insects. Hence, Tower Canon would definitely fight back against the Radiance Federation.
The creation of the Major Federation Union had clearly established the structure of the main world. The Radiance Federation was now the heart of the human camp. Thus, in their counterattack against the humans, Tower Canon would strike the Radiance Federation first.
Over the past few days of fighting, Lin Yuan discovered that the demon insects no longer had the upper hand over the new dimensional lifeforms. Instead, the new dimensional lifeforms were now overwhelming the demon insects.
Due to the existence of a few special dead dimensional lifeforms, the demon insects would be injured and killed.
But each time the demon insects died, a special method that was unique to the demon insects would be activated to disseminate information about the circumstances. Consequently, specialized demon insects would arrive at the scene.
Each time new types of dead dimensional lifeforms were discovered, they were captured and delivered to Lin Yuan, who would then send them to Keira’s nest.
When Keira learned about Lin Yuan’s concerns regarding the dead spirits wave, she came to see Lin Yuan and said with utmost seriousness, “Master, judging from the current situation, any dead dimensional lifeforms that emerge will be nothing more but nutrients for the demon insects, unless they are powerful enough to kill the female insects.
“Every female demon insect with a Class 2 or 3 Genetic Lock will build a nest underground. Once the nests are linked, the insect armies can be combined. The most powerful female insect will lead the insect army, while the weaker female insects will select new locations to build new nests. The nests will be built in deeper locations as the insect army grows stronger.
“In several locations, the nests have already reached the ley lines. If you are worried about the death aura from the ley lines affecting the environment, I can instruct the female insects to send the insect armies to consume and absorb the death aura from the ley lines.
“This batch of female insects is one I produced using death aura as the source of energy. Hence, the staggering death aura in the ley lines is the best nutrition for these demon insects!
“Given the concentration of death aura in the ley lines, with your permission, I
am confident of clearing all of it in less than 200 years! However, to do this,
you will need to allow me to remain in the nest in the blessed area. I require
pure spirit i to produce more female insects!”
Lin Yuan was momentarily taken aback and looked at Keira with amazed shock.
Initially, Lin Yuan thought that this dead spirits crisis would be drawn out for a long time. He had assumed that even after defeating Tower Canon, the dead spirits crisis would continue for at least a few tens of thousands of years.
But it turned out that the demon insects could absorb the death aura in the ley lines!
Once the death aura disappeared from the ley lines, it went without saying that no new dead spirits would emerge.
Keira’s actions would halt Tower Canon’s plans from its source.
As long as Lin Yuan allowed Keira to use the insect army to absorb the death aura in the ley lines, Tower Canon’s Eight Pages would immediately try to search for Keira.
While Keira was reporting this information to Lin Yuan, she had stressed that she needed to remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. She was terrified that he would kick her out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan was aware of what was running through Keira’s mind.
She had already mentioned more than once that she wanted to return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds to fight for dominance against the other demon insect armies.
As a demon insect empress, Keira was extremely ambitious.
Keira was an extremely important subordinate to Lin Yuan. He needed to depend on her to produce demon insects in order to see the main world through the dead spirits crisis.
After Keira had done him such an enormous favor, he was willing to help her when they went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Keira was under Lin Yuan’s control, so her power also added to his power.
“Keira, inform me of the locations where the demon insects have made contact with the ley lines.”
Lin Yuan took out a newly updated map and handed it to Keira. This map was a consolidated version drawn up after Lin Yuan combined the main world with the five dimensional worlds.
The areas where the demon insects had spread would be represented in real-time on this updated map.
Keira had also taken part in creating his map.
She quickly used her antenna to point out a few locations on this map.
Lin Yuan’s eyes were immediately drawn to a canyon at the boundary between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent.
Lin Yuan believed that if the demon insects focused on absorbing the death
aura from the ley lines in that area, the Eight Pages would send at least two of
their members to investigate the situation after they found out about this.
If Lin Yuan set up an ambush there in advance, he might be able to kill two of the Eight Pages.
As things stood, this was the biggest advantage that Lin Yuan could wield.
Thus, Lin Yuan told Keira about his plan.
Keira was very against this.
Her life was securely in Lin Yuan’s hands. If he died, she would lose her life as well. Hence, under no circumstances did she want Lin Yuan to put his life at risk!
In Keira’s point of view, there was no difference between Lin Yuan risking his own life and risking hers.
Nonetheless, Keira did not have the right to go against Lin Yuan’s authority.
All she could do was channel more of the demon insects’ forces to the trap Lin Yuan would set up and cooperate with him.
Tower Canon had been quiet for the past few days. It was likely that they were preparing something as an immense amount of death aura was intermittently injected into the ley lines.
Keira had been trying to guess where Tower Canon came from. It was likely that they were a lost group of woeful dogs that came from a world where death aura was the main source of energy. They were trying to take over this world by force after failing to protect their original world.
There was a high chance that Tower Canon had already fused their world’s roots with this Class 2 world.
Otherwise, regardless of how omnipotent they were, they would not be able to create such a tremendous impact on this Class 2 world.
They sped up the awakening of the dead spirits in this Class 2 world by hundreds of times its original rate.
By draining the death aura from the ley lines, the demon insects were essentially draining the roots of the dead world.
Regardless of how many other critical matters Tower Canon needed to attend to, they could not ignore this matter.
Hence, there was a high chance that Lin Yuan’s plan would be successful!
In the past, Lin Yuan always consulted Wen Yu and Liu Jie before making his decisions. Occasionally, he also sought the Moon Empress’ opinion.
But this time, he made the decision on his own.
This was because the three of them would definitely prefer it if he did not put himself in danger. Additionally, they did not understand the current circumstances.
A wise person avoided perilous situations, and Lin Yuan was not the type of person who liked to put himself in said situations.
However, he could not be overly concerned now.
Once Keira confirmed Lin Yuan’s decision, the people living at the border between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent felt the ground beginning to tremble. It was as though there was a vast number of lifeforms crawling underground.
Once the sea of demon insects entered the canyon, they began building nests in the direction of the ley line.
Lin Yuan also headed to the canyon with the Abyss Great Emperor.
Lin Yuan was in no rush to dispatch the Turning Wheel and Samsara Realm Dictators. Sending so many Dictators to the canyon would be too ostentatious and would likely set out Tower Canon’s alarm bells.
When Lin Yuan fused with the Abyss Red Lotus and reached that level, he could clearly sense that the Turning Wheel and Samsara Realm Dictators were far weaker than him.
If he brought the Turning Wheel and Samsara Realm Dictators with him, not only would they be unable to help him, but they would even end up losing their lives. This would lower the potential strength of the main world.
The Source Sand formed a sea of sand beneath the canyon, and Lin Yuan hid himself within it.
While hidden in the sea of sand, Lin Yuan could still receive information through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
At that moment, there were two figures directly above the canyon.
The long-haired girl with cold features said softly, “Summer, it looks like Lord Saint is enemies with Tower Canon! The demon insects shouldn’t be a species that can be found in this world. They are under Lord Saint’s control!”
While she spoke, Spring watched the demon insect wave that was rapidly gathering at the canyon. A look of envy appeared on her countenance.
Spring never anticipated that the day would come when she was jealous of the pathetic demon insects.
Lord Saint was utilizing these demon insects while all she could do was watch silently.
When Summer heard what Spring said, she clutched Spring’s hand.
“Spring, even after all these years, you still haven’t learned to properly compose yourself! I expect that we’ll be able to stand before Lord Saint soon.
“Not only does First Page Crimson from Tower Canon have the Blood Consumption Seed’s bloodline, but also the partial bloodline of the Blood species! The Blood Consumption Seed’s bloodline has mutated under the influence of the Blood sDecies. First Page Crimson must have a fair number of secret weapons!
“Although our presence is like that of ashes floating among the falling leaves, we will cause substantial issues for Lord Saint. If Lord Saint can’t defeat First Page Crimson, we will have a reason to appear in front of him!”
Spring and Summer had all but confirmed Lin Yuan’s identity.
This was because Lin Yuan had summoned Genius and Shiny in the past few days, both of which were depicted on the wall illustration next to Lord Totem God.
When Lin Yuan sent the dead dimensional lifeforms into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Spring and Summer also sensed Morbius’ aura.
The only one in this world who could form a contract with, wield, and control Lord Totem God was Lord Saint!
Back then…
Summer’s expression froze with that thought, and she hurriedly moved her thoughts away. Thinking of that incident was taboo and blasphemous.
Spring lowered her gaze to look at the sea of sand that was filling the canyon. Her expression was one of admiration and hopefulness.
Although Lin Yuan did tell the Moon Empress about his plan because he was worried she would be worried, he still told her about their impending battle against Tower Canon.
The Moon Empress needed to know about this in order to come up with the right plans.
When the Moon Empress heard what Lin Yuan said, she did not know why he said that.
Nonetheless, she still sent out numerous orders that she had already prepared in advance.
She also told the other federations about this news.
Lin Yuan knew that doing so might cause the news to be leaked, but he was not going to fight in the shadows against Tower Canon. He was going to do it openly.
Regardless of what happened, Tower Canon would have to send their members to this canyon. Whether they sent more or fewer members made no difference to Lin Yuan because he was already prepared to use all of his power.
He was already fully prepared for his battle against Tower Canon!
At that moment, Keira’s voice echoed in Lin Yuan’s head. “Master, 150,000,000 demon insects have surrounded this ley line. With just one order from you, they will immediately begin absorbing the death aura from the ley line!”
Lin Yuan resolutely gave Keira the order of confirmation.
On the surface, it looked as though nothing was happening. But beneath the surface, the death aura in the ley line was being filtered.
In a very short period, Lin Yuan could sense the environment around him becoming cleaner…
