45 Absorbing the Territory’s Core

Under the effects of the Demonic Dragon’s Breath, the burnt man-eating ants and man-eating flowers turned into Skeleton Soldiers.

It was also at this moment that Xu Yuan obtained the information about the new Skeleton Soldiers.

“What a pity!” Xu Yuan shook his head in regret.

These Skeleton Soldiers were not considered soldiers of the territory, because they could not exist forever. Under the influence of the Demonic Dragon’s Breath, the Skeleton Soldiers could only exist for ten minutes. They would disappear in a while.

“Forget it! Disperse!” Under Xu Yuan’s command, the Skeleton Soldiers turned into black mist and dissipated.

The area was no longer hounded by numerous man-eating ants. All kinds of buildings and units were visible. It attracted Xu Yuan’s attention.

The dragon flapped his wings and transformed into countless afterimages. These afterimages of Xu Yuan destroyed the buildings in the territory. Xu Yuan headed straight to the Territory Core.

The Territory Core was a Lightning Element.

Xu Yuan looked at the purple crystal-like object floating in the air. Purple electric sparks occasionally ran through it.

“You think you can defend your home with a bunch of man-eating ants?” Xu Yuan extended his claws and grabbed the Territory Core.

The Territory Core emitted sparks and sent out an electric arc, as though it wanted to break free from Xu Yuan’s claws. He held it firmly.

Clang! Xu Yuan crushed the crystal. A purple, electric energy poured out of the crystal and flowed into one of the twelve dark energy balls behind Xu Yuan. One of the balls turned dark purple.

“I see!” Xu Yuan was finally certain of what he must do. He now had a deeper understanding of the Chaos Realm. “Every time I absorb a Territory Core, the corresponding attribute will suppress the power the core possesses.”

Since the Territory Core Xu Yuan absorbed had a Lightning Element attribute, he would have the power to suppress any lightning-related creatures that entered his Chaos Realm. It would neutralize them!

“Absorbing different Territory Cores with different attributes will strengthen my Chaos Realm in those elements!”

Xu Yuan had absorbed the Lightning Element from a Territory Core, so lightning-related abilities were unlocked in his Chaos Realm. But this didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to absorb the energy of other Territory Cores which had other lightning attributes.

The Lightning Element Territory Core he had just absorbed was a relatively low-level Territory Core. It was only at Level 2. He could absorb higher level Territory Cores along with the previous one. If he did that, his Chaos Realm would be strengthened to unprecedented levels.

Xu Yuan had just finished understanding the Chaos Realm and the significance of Territory Cores when a large number of troops arrived to defend the territory suddenly.

“Sir Luphus, those guys are back!”

The Flower Fairy hid behind Xu Yuan. She was a little afraid of the enemy.

A human Lord walked forward. He was covered in injuries and was panting. When he noticed that his territory was raided and his Territory Core destroyed, he roared.

Without the Territory Core, the person would lose the right to be an Overlord. Once they died in the Overlord Plane, they would not be able to revive themselves.

“There’s nothing left!” The enemy was a thin man in a black cloak with a special flower pattern on it. He seemed to be a member of some organization.

“There is nothing left here!” The man walked in a daze, observing his territory. His place of hope was ruined.

“Since I have nothing left, I have nothing to worry about!” roared the man. “Descend, Man-Eating Ant Emperor!” He looked up at the sky and spread his arms.

The entire ground started shaking as though there was an earthquake waiting to happen. He could vaguely hear a sound from underground.

All of a sudden, the ground split open and a sharp claw emerged. Then, a limb that was as hard as steel crawled out. Finally, a creature with a golden shell crawled out from the split on the ground.

The enemy cheered when he saw the Man-Eating Ant Emperor. Although he might die, this creature would definitely kill the one who destroyed his territory! If that happened, he would die happy.

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor looked warily at Xu Yuan. The flower Fairy had endless potential. However, the Flower Fairy was still limited by Shi Linglong, so her strength could not transcend.

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor only had eyes for Xu Yuan. He was like a fanatical believer facing the only God he believed in.

“Emperor! Your servant offers you flesh and blood.” The Lord knelt to the ground with his head lowered.

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor snorted coldly. “Thank you for your kindness, you piece of trash! I gave you so many resources and yet, you can’t even take down a new Lord?”

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor spoke in the human language, reprimanding and thanking him at the same time.

The black cloak was blown away by the wind, and Xie En’s pale face with golden curly hair was revealed to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was indifferent, but the Flower Fairy was confused. “As a Lord, aren’t you supposed to be in a hostile relationship with the native creatures of the Overlord Plane? Why do you join them willingly?”

The Flower Fairy had heard from Shi Linglong about the grudges between the Lords and the native creatures of the Overlord Plane.

The Overlord could summon powerful heroes from the Hero Plane and receive favor from them. As long as the Territory Core was intact, the Overlord always revived.

Under such circumstances, the Overlord’s attack on the native creatures of the Overlord Plane was considered a dimensional attack.

Even if some Lords are weak, they should have their own pride and dignity. Why would they give up their dignity and become slaves to the native creatures?

In the face of the Flower Fairy’s questioning, Xie En, who had chosen to become the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s slave, broke down.

“Why?” asked the Flower Fairy.

Xie En stuck his hands into his hair, looking like he was close to madness.

“Hahahahaha!” Xie En stared at the Flower Fairy with wide, mad eyes.

“S-class hero, Flower Fairy. Your Overlord must be very talented, right? Their talents must be unparalleled. I am trying my best to obtain resources. Just when I gave up my dignity for a small pile of resources, my Territory Core…”

Xie En punched the ground, causing it to shake slightly. Blood started to flow from his hand.

“Those geniuses have already obtained endless resources and all kinds of legendary troops that never existed before. This is so unfair!”
