The Giant appears, and the Ancient Haoyue Treasure Chest is your reward! (6400)

"240,000 of the resurrected army, attacking from four directions!"

"Damn it, this difficulty is truly a bit perverse." Cao Xing muttered to himself.

If it were any other lord, they might have panicked at this moment.

After all, attacking from four directions is equivalent to splitting the territory's combat power into four parts.

This is much harder than 240,000 of the resurrected army attacking from a single direction.

But fortunately, Cao Xing still had plenty of spare combat power to mobilize.

He said quickly: "Malenia, go there immediately and hold the East Gate."

"Assam, Bjorn, lead the Silver Hand Knights and the Dragon Blood Warrior legion to assist her."

"Hilda, lead the Blood Spider legion to hold the West Gate."

"Xiao, you lead all the Star Country swordsmen and all mages to assist Hilda."

"Other core combat personnel, be ready to provide support at any time depending on the situation."

The moment they received Cao Xing's order, all the combat personnel in the territory immediately took action.

Malenia leapt lightly, arriving at the East Gate battlefield in just four seconds.

Because Cao Xing had only considered that monsters would appear at the North and South gates, he had not considered the East and West gates.

Therefore, there was no lighthouse illumination in these two areas.

One could only see shadowy figures in the mist.

But fortunately, Malenia did not need to identify the direction of the enemy at all.

The blood-drinking blade in her hand swept across instantly.

It directly cut through the mist for several kilometers ahead!

"Buzz!"

Damage numbers in the millions appeared.

A large number of the ordinary resurrected army were instantly killed on the spot!

Of course, because there were too many chiefs and leaders inside, and these monsters were all at a staggering level 70.

Coupled with the legion bond of 100,000, even Malenia could not kill these chief-level monsters with one strike.

However… if one strike didn't work, she would use two.

Relying on her attack speed and attack range, she was still invincible against these level 70 of the resurrected army!

"Buzz! Splat!"

Sword energy swept across continuously, and a large number of the resurrected army, even elite-level creatures, were chopped into two by her after a few strikes, then turned into a pool of black water and disappeared.

She started her "musou" mowing mode again.

Of course, those chief and leader-level of the resurrected army were not so easily mowed down by her.

Among them, there were three resurrected giant worms constantly spitting mucus, causing obstacles for her.

This also meant Malenia could not attend to all the battlefields.

Some of the resurrected army bypassed her and rushed rapidly toward the direction of the city wall.

They used their claws, which were covered in corpse poison, to frantically scratch at the city wall.

"Rumble…"

The wall was trembling continuously.

As if sensing that there was a large amount of life and fresh flesh behind the wall, they became eager to break through the wall and rush in to slaughter!

"Roar! Roar!!" The monsters kept making low roars in their mouths.

However, Cao Xing's city wall had already been upgraded to high-level, coupled with the blessing of the Earth Archmage—Tyren's [Rock Barrier].

It was no problem to block these of the resurrected army for a while.

Sure enough, these monsters had attacked the city wall for less than five seconds.

The Griffin Knights had already descended from the sky.

"Screech!!!"

The cries of the griffins resounded through the sky, diving down like huge rockets, knocking away a large number of the resurrected army that were attacking the city wall!

The long spears in the hands of several knights even picked up a series of the resurrected army, bringing them into the air before throwing them down directly.

In an instant, a rain of corpses began to fall overhead.

Then, Bjorn led more than a hundred Dragon Blood Warriors and arrived quickly.

They quickly slaughtered all of the resurrected army under the city wall.

These two legions, which Cao Xing had poured the most resources into, each had the powerful combat strength to fight one against a hundred!

Coupled with a terrifying killing machine—Malenia.

This 60,000 of the resurrected army was beaten into retreat by them.

Soon, the battlefield at the West Gate stabilized.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Very good, now there is no need to worry about the South, North, and West battlefields."

"Next, let's look at the battlefield at the East Gate."

…

At the East Gate, 60,000 of the resurrected army came rushing over, about to get within one kilometer of the territory.

"Rustle… Rustle…"

As a sound of crawling rang out.

A sea of blood poured out crazily from the city gate and walls.

Leading them was the Blood Spider Queen, who had already broken through to a Tier 7 Overlord.

She waved her arm.

More than 100,000 of the Blood Spider army rushed up like a torrent.

This included a large number of elite Blood Spiders, as well as two commander-level Blood Spiders!

"Pop! Pop pop!"

A large number of Blood Spiders self-destructed on the spot, attaching Blood Poison to the enemy, and stacking dozens of layers in an instant.

The of the resurrected army charging in the front hadn't even taken a few steps before their health dropped to zero, turning into a pool of black water.

"Hiss—hiss hiss—" A series of strange cries came.

In the of the resurrected army, three ferocious-looking resurrected giant maggots, over a hundred meters in size, rushed over like mountains of flesh!

Seeing this scene, three or four powerhouses rushed out from the city wall instantly.

Beast-ear girl Herlie, Star Country swordsman Xiao, and Tong Chuchu driving the Earth Dragon mecha.

They knocked over a large number of the resurrected army along the way, without lingering, with a very clear target.

It was the resurrected giant maggots inside.

Soon, the three of them went deep into the of the resurrected army and came before these three commander-level maggots.

Both sides engaged in a head-on battle.

It wasn't just the East Gate battlefield where Hilda was.

The other three battlefields all had at least three resurrected worms.

That is to say, this eighth wave of challenges, in addition to 240,000 of the resurrected army, also had a full 12 level 70 commander-level creatures!

This difficulty could be said to be hell-level.

But fortunately, there were more powerhouses in his territory.

Any level 70 leader could single-handedly fight such a level 70 commander.

Except for some initial unpreparedness, everyone's movements were a bit flustered.

By now, all four battlefields had stabilized.

And at this moment, Cao Xing, who was flying several hundred meters in the air, also had a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that, with the strength of my territory, dealing with 240,000 Tier 7 armies is so easy now."

Even so, this was not the full strength of his territory.

Besides Liu Muxue, Andrew, and others who were still standing on the city wall.

Even Cao Xing himself hadn't made a move yet.

Relying on his current attributes, if he cast a forbidden spell, destroying 40,000 or 50,000 of the resurrected army would still be simple.

After relaxing, Cao Xing turned his attention to the North Gate battlefield, where Braum was.

This big guy was holding a shield, standing in the crowd of monsters like an unshakeable reef.

Those resurrected monsters were frantically attacking Braum's shield and his body.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

However, this big guy maintained his shield-holding posture without taking a step back.

And with every attack, his body grew a bit larger.

A large number of resurrected monsters surrounded him, while in the distance, more resurrected chickens and resurrected mage apprentices kept launching long-range attacks at him.

Braum's figure began to expand rapidly, like an inflating balloon!

In the blink of an eye, it surged from more than two meters tall to five meters, ten meters, and was still growing wildly!

In a short while, it exceeded the real Giant Clan member: Jode Ironfrost.

At this moment, Jode Ironfrost was on the battlefield next to Braum, single-handedly fighting a level 70 resurrected giant maggot.

His fist, as big as a water vat, blew out every time, directly dispersing the thick fog a hundred meters in front of him.

"Bang!"

The giant fist slammed into the resurrected giant maggot, making its decaying flesh tremble all over!

Then, Jode jumped directly onto its head, stepped on its head with that huge foot of several hundred yards, and frantically hammered it with a pair of iron fists!

"Boom! Rumble!"

Every punch carried boundless giant force, with bursts of sonic booms, frantically attacking the enemy's head.

The ground kept shaking, and it also began to sink rapidly.

Half of this resurrected giant maggot's body was almost hammered into the soil by him!

Also a level 70 commander, Jode was simply unilaterally crushing this kind of giant maggot, which had no ability to resist at all.

Meanwhile, this Giant Clan member noticed that a powerful force was rising on the battlefield!

Then he saw at a glance that Braum's figure had already surged to more than thirty meters high!

Jode, who was stepping on the giant maggot, had a look of shock in his eyes.

He couldn't help asking: "Braum, why have you become so big too?"

"Only the king of our tribe, the giant, can have such a size."

"Could it be that you also have the bloodline of our Giant Clan?"

Braum laughed loudly, "No, this is the power contained in the shield bestowed by the Lord!"

"Jode, I will be bigger than you soon, hahaha!"

This big guy laughed wantonly.

Amidst the laughter, his figure was still growing rapidly, directly breaking through 50 meters!

Along with it, the shield in his hand also grew, reaching a width of 50 meters, like an indestructible wall.

The surge in size also made Braum's attack range larger and larger.

Finally, after accumulating 1000 attacks, Braum's figure directly rose to a height of 100 meters!

One hundred meters, even the height of a building with more than thirty floors on Blue Star, one can imagine what this concept is!

At this moment, Braum stood proudly in the snow, holding a hundred-meter giant shield, like a giant of the sky.

[Your territory member: Braum Ironwall has entered the [Origin Giant] form, all attributes increased by 100%, stiffness increased by 100%, lasting for 5 minutes. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent…]

(Note: In the permanent state, it can be exited and closed at any time. At the same time, the cooldown of the Legendary skill 'Destroyer of Heaven and Earth' becomes 24 hours…)

…

Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

With all attributes increased by 100%, Braum had completely surpassed ordinary hero creatures.

Coupled with his huge size and the shield in his hand, even if Malenia erupted with all her might, she might not be able to cause him much serious damage.

Now Braum had undoubtedly become the creature with the strongest defense in the territory!

Of course, in addition to the significant improvement in survival ability, Braum also possessed a Legendary skill!

With excitement, Cao Xing scanned the skill's attributes.

[Legendary Combat Skill · Destroyer of Heaven and Earth: Consumes 5 points of divine power, jumps high into the air, and then falls like a comet, causing 10000% destruction damage to all enemies within 10000 meters, and causing them to enter a stun state for 1~10 seconds]

(Note: This skill has great destructive power and may change the terrain and surrounding environment, please use it with caution.)

…

"Damn it, it actually requires 5 points of divine power to use, what a waste of excitement."

Cao Xing was speechless. He originally thought he would be able to see the power of a Legendary skill immediately, but it turned out there was such a restriction.

And Braum was just a level 70 Tier 7 creature, what kind of divine power function did he have.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

Those Legendary equipment have always been the exclusive property of Legendary creatures.

In fact, most Legendary powerhouses do not even have a single piece of Legendary weapon or equipment of their own.

Someone like Cao Xing, who has just reached level 70 and already possesses four or five pieces of Legendary equipment under his command, is simply unheard of.

If those Legendary powerhouses were to find out, they might even harbor malicious intent and try to seize these Legendary items from him.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "But it's fine. Braum's current form is already strong enough, so it doesn't matter if he can't use Legendary skills for now."

At this moment, Braum, having transformed into a giant, possessed not only terrifying defensive power but also a soaring combat capability.

He lifted his right foot and stomped it fiercely onto the ground.

"Boom!!!"

It was as if a mountain had suddenly crashed down!

The ground beneath him was instantly crushed into a crater dozens of meters wide!

The resurrected army members hit by his stomp all had critical damage numbers of over one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand appear above their heads, and quite a few were crushed into pulp on the spot.

Even those who weren't crushed to death were now stuck in the frozen earth, unable to break free.

Seeing the immense power of his stomp, Braum simply gave up on defense and began to run wildly across the battlefield!

"Boom! Rumble!"

With every step he took, hundreds of the resurrected army were crushed to death on the spot or stomped into the ground.

If he encountered Boss-tier or Leader-tier monsters blocking his path, he would simply grab a corner of the [Shield of Origin].

He would use this massive shield, which was over a hundred meters long, like a door panel and smash it down crazily!

"Bang!"

[-215455!]

A Leader-tier Resurrected Corruptor had a massive damage number appear above its head!

That wasn't all. Besides the damage, the Corruptor also fell into a stunned state.

Seeing this, Braum laughed heartily.

"So, a shield can also be used as a weapon!"

"Hahaha! Watch me sweep through the army!"

As he spoke, he became even more unbridled, and countless members of the resurrected army were sent flying backward by his strikes!

Everywhere he passed, it was like a fierce wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

Seeing this scene, the staff on the city walls swallowed their saliva one after another.

After all, the sight of a hundred-meter-tall giant smashing people with a massive iron shield was truly too shocking!

It felt like Braum alone could wipe out all sixty thousand of the resurrected army!

Even Cao Xing watched this scene with great satisfaction.

"Not bad. It truly lives up to being a Legendary shield."

"In the Shield of Origin giant form, Braum not only possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities but also decent area-of-effect attack abilities."

"This way, once this guy breaks through to the eighth tier, his leveling speed will also become much faster."

This battle did not last long.

In fact, as long as the Commander-tier creatures that appeared were held back, there was no real threat.

In about 5 minutes, Xiao, Assam, Herlie, and the others had already taken care of all the giant resurrected maggots.

After about 20 minutes, the eighth wave of the monster siege was nearing its end.

The resurrected army across the four battlefields had basically been wiped out by them.

Meanwhile, in the chat channel, discussions were breaking out.

"Brothers, do you think Great Lord Cao Xing will continue the eighth-round challenge this time?"

"It's hard to say. I remember he stopped at the seventh round last time. I doubt he could break that limit in just one week."

"Yeah, I checked the World Channel. Across all regions combined, not many people have managed to pass the seventh wave, and not a single person has passed the eighth round."

Although Cao Xing is very strong, they didn't really believe he could do something that no one else in the world had managed to achieve.

Just then, one of them suddenly exclaimed: "Holy crap! Brothers, look at the leaderboard! Great Lord Cao Xing's ranking has changed!"

"What kind of change? Did he give up on the challenge?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go look for yourself."

Upon hearing this, everyone clicked on the leaderboard to check.

[Four Regions Monster Siege Leaderboard]

[1st Place: Cao Xing, Waves Cleared: 8th Wave, Battle Time: 19 minutes 14 seconds]

[2nd Place: Wei Jianyi, Waves Cleared: 6th Wave, Battle Time: 1 hour 03 minutes]

[3rd Place: Bai Zhi, Waves Cleared: 6th Wave, Battle Time: 1 hour 25 minutes]

[4th Place…]

The chat channel was instantly in an uproar.

"Holy crap! He actually passed the eighth wave! That's insane!"

"As expected of Great Lord Cao Xing, he really did what no one else could!"

"Hahaha, I told you he wouldn't stop here! Just as I guessed!"

"Do you think… Great Lord Cao Xing will continue to challenge the ninth wave? Or maybe even clear all ten waves of the monster siege?"

Everyone was stunned.

"That shouldn't… be possible, right?"

"Clearing the eighth wave is already unprecedented. If he clears the tenth wave directly, that would be too absurd!"

"Yeah, it's hard to say. Who knows if he'll continue the challenge."

For a moment, the Survivors felt both nervous and expectant.

[Survivor Cao Xing, please note: You have successfully passed the 8th wave of the monster siege challenge. Reward received: Ancient Bright Moon Treasure Chest *1, gold point +100]

"Huh, I thought the reward for the eighth wave was two Bright Moon Treasure Chests, but it was replaced with 1 Ancient Bright Moon Treasure Chest."

Although there was only one, it still excited Cao Xing.

After all, the items opened from these ancient treasure chests are always very special and powerful.

Such as Barrett, the Primitive Cube, the Illustrious Hunter's Tricorne, and so on…

And those were all opened from Silver and Gold treasure chests!

This was his first time encountering an Ancient Bright Moon Treasure Chest.

Even Cao Xing was looking forward to seeing what he could get from this ancient chest.

[Survivor Cao Xing, please note! Do you wish to continue the 9th round of the monster siege challenge?]

[The number of monsters in the 9th round is: 4. Monster strength: Level 80 (Eighth-tier Mutant Commander-tier creatures)]

Seeing this notification, Cao Xing was slightly startled.

"Good grief, is the level jumping straight to 80?"

"And they are Mutant Commander-tier creatures too!"

"This difficulty is really a bit exaggerated."

However, although the four Mutant Commanders were very strong, given his strength, he could easily handle them.

Thus, Cao Xing clicked confirm without hesitation.

[You have made your choice. The 9th wave challenge will begin in five minutes. Please prepare…]

There was nothing to prepare for when dealing with this kind of enemy.

Cao Xing just needed to be on guard against a sudden attack from these monsters.

Five minutes later, the system notification appeared. [The 9th wave of the monster siege has begun…]

Cao Xing instantly cast his gaze forward.

At the same time, a humanoid figure suddenly appeared in the snow ahead.

Its body was floating like a ghost in the snow, and as it gradually approached, an extremely cold aura rushed toward him!

Cao Xing could clearly see the opponent's appearance.

It was a tall and gaunt figure, its body appearing as if it were pieced together from withered branches.

It wore a tattered black robe, occasionally revealing the pale bones and empty eye sockets beneath.

Its hands were bony, and its fingers were like sharp claws!

"What… kind of monster is this?"

Cao Xing quickly glanced at its attributes.

[Resurrected Lich]

[Race: resurrected army]

[Level: 80 (Eighth-tier Mutant Commander-tier creature)]

[HP: 13.7542 million / 13.7542 million]

[Attack Power: 44926 ~ 45709]

[Armor: 5892 ~ 6523]

[Skills: Soul Siphon, Death Frost, Shadow Curse, Bone Prison Imprisonment, Shadow Teleportation]

[Commander-tier Skill: Open Gate of the Death Land (Select an area with a diameter of 2000 meters and make it a Death Land. All living beings within it will receive 1 stack of Corpse Poison effect every second. Furthermore, open a Gate of Death, from which an endless stream of the resurrected army will emerge. The Gate of Death lasts for 60 minutes. Cooldown: 48 hours)]

(Note: This skill has a 3-second channeling time when activated.)

[Talent: Power of Resurrection (After HP drops to zero, it will revive with full HP once. Triggers once every 48 hours)]

[Talent 2: Dark Magic (All Dark-type magic damage increased by 30%)]

(Introduction: A dead Lich, proficient in powerful Dark and Frost-type magic. Please proceed with caution!)

"It's actually this kind of creature. It's a bit troublesome!"

This monster's stats are quite strong. Besides a bunch of powerful skills, it also has a talent that allows it to revive with full HP, which is equivalent to having to kill it twice!

Furthermore, its Commander-tier skill is also very tricky.

It can actually turn an entire area into a Death Land, and the range is so large.

Cao Xing realized that he could not let this Lich use that Commander-tier skill, otherwise it would cause significant trouble.

Thus, he quickly ordered: "Attack with full force."

"Kill the enemy at the fastest speed!"

The moment the order was given, the powerhouses on the four battlefields all moved out!

At the North Gate battlefield, Braum, like a giant holding up the sky, charged out while raising his massive shield!

On the West Gate battlefield, Malenia's figure flashed, and she immediately prepared to unleash that ultra-high-speed burst skill — Lotus Sword Dance!

At the South Gate battlefield, the Dragon Speaker and her dragon, along with Sarah, attacked simultaneously.

And at the East Gate battlefield, Blood Spider Queen Hilda waved her hand casually, and two Commander-tier Blood Spiders led a massive army of Blood Spiders as they charged forward.

The moment the powerhouses on the four battlefields were about to engage the enemy head-on.

The four Liches suddenly made a strange movement simultaneously.

They stretched out their gaunt claws, raised them high above their heads, and a mass of dark aura gathered above them!

And just as everyone's attacks were about to land on them, these Liches suddenly vanished into thin air.

It was their Boss-tier skill — Shadow Teleportation!

For a moment, looks of confusion appeared in everyone's eyes, as they didn't seem to know where these Liches had gone.

But Cao Xing, being in the air, could clearly see the situation on all battlefields.

He saw that after those four figures disappeared, they appeared directly behind everyone.

A cloud of black smoke swirled and took the shape of the four Liches!

They were floating there, raising their hands simultaneously, and a dense force of death began to condense.

The target of their spell seemed to be Cao Xing's territory.

Cao Xing instantly realized what these guys were planning to do.

"Damn it! These bastards are actually planning to open a Death Land portal inside my territory!"

"Interrupt them!"

These Liches were too insidious; they chose the strategy that would cause the most damage to Cao Xing right from the start!

If they really succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable!
