Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

"It is said that this is a very special region, with an extremely vast area, located at the intersection of the territories of the elves, dwarves, and winged people."

Lei Xiao frowned slightly as he gazed at the vast, empty, and gloomy gray wilderness before him.

The reason it is called a desolate place is obvious.

Just as he saw it, this place was barren, always shrouded in dark clouds, devoid of any plants, water, or weather. There was not even a sound. Even the most ferocious magical beasts, including the dragons, were unwilling to set foot here.

Despite being blocked by the absolute confinement barrier, one could still sense an extremely strange aura emanating from outside. It was not killing intent or malevolent energy, but rather a simple, lifeless death aura.

The land of death is literally a dead place.

No one knows why this place is barren, but one thing is certain: even the most powerful forest demigods of the elves cannot make a single leaf grow in this dead land.

"This area, located within the territory of a first-rate power, is extremely famous. For three thousand years, it is said that countless powerful figures from first-rate powers have tried to figure out the secret of why this place is barren, but all have returned empty-handed. It is even rare for a powerful figure to stay here for more than a few days before their hearts are filled with inexplicable fear."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more.

If this had happened before, I might have been completely baffled and unable to understand anything here.

However, after encountering the old man in the sand robe and the underground temple of the fishmen, he had already made some deductions.

"Based on the information I obtained earlier, both the desert where the old man in the sand robe was located and the sea area of ​​the fishman's underground temple were affected by that unknown giant skeleton, which is why they formed an extremely abrupt and special region with a climate that is completely different from the surrounding area."

"It also includes the northern border of the human territory. According to the divine revelation of the prompt, the location of the giant's remains can almost be confirmed, but I haven't had time to explore there yet."

"Thinking about it this way, this extremely special dead land is probably in a similar situation, except that compared to the giant skeletons that create deserts and frozen soil, the giant skeletons hidden here are obviously more dangerous."

After analyzing the situation in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.

So the question is, why would those possessed beings teleport this Brotherhood's direct market to this area?

Is it simply because this place is deserted and undisturbed? Or is there some other ulterior motive?

"I hope it's not the latter. I previously felt that the Devouring Guardians inside those colossal skeletons were somewhat similar to 'Eclipse,' but I couldn't figure out the connection between the two."

"Now that the parasites have teleported this blessed land here, and even established a series of 'Eclipse' breeding grounds here, one can't help but suspect that there's some kind of connection between them."

"If 'Eclipse' can establish some kind of cooperation with those colossal skeletons, or even intends to utilize them, then the course of events would be difficult to predict."

"But one thing is certain: it will likely be a catastrophe within a catastrophe. After all, dealing with the possessed beings and the 'Eclipse' is troublesome enough, let alone adding these gigantic, mysterious, and bizarre skeletons to the mix? Who knows what terrible things the 'Return to the Void' will do?"

Lei Xiao grew increasingly serious as he thought about it, and a few beads of cold sweat even appeared on his forehead.

As Lei Xiao pondered, the other powerful figures around him noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at him.

Could it be that His Majesty the Human Race has discovered something chilling? That's why he's frowning so deeply.

Among them, Jane, Lorick, Helena and other powerful elves looked over with concern, waiting for Lei Xiao to speak.

"Your Majesty, you haven't been thinking about something, have you?"

Seeing Lei Xiao's brows furrow even more, Jasmine tilted her head and couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's nothing, I just find it a bit strange that they teleported the city here. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality and simply shook his head slightly.

Ultimately, all of this is just speculation, and the specifics are still unknown.

Furthermore, the morale of the powerful figures is already low. If these worrying speculations are voiced, it will not only greatly affect morale but also have no positive effect.

Upon hearing Lei Xiao's response, the group of powerful figures did not dwell on it any longer, but simply waited silently for his further orders.

After a series of battles, especially Jane and Rorik who had been by Lei Xiao's side from the beginning, they had grown to trust Lei Xiao more and more, as had Helena and the others who had been saved by Lei Xiao.

"Time is of the essence, let's continue."

Lei Xiao nodded to everyone, and the group then started walking again, heading straight for the next area.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at their destination smoothly, as if chasing the wind and lightning.

This location is next to the area where Lei Xiao was originally located and the area where Helena and the others were located, which is relatively close to the center of the city.

Upon arriving at a square, the group witnessed an extremely horrific scene.

The ground was littered with the corpses of many guests, all of them lifeless, with dried blood everywhere, which looked extremely viscous.

These corpses were all extremely burly and robust, with full beards. There were many broken giant axes and dented bull horn helmets scattered around, and the stench of blood permeated the air.

"Your Majesty, the Human, is a Hill Dwarf and a Wetland Dwarf."

After bending down to examine the area for a moment, Jane reported to Lei Xiao: "An extremely fierce battle took place here. It seems that these powerful dwarves were ultimately no match for the possessed ones and most likely walked right into their trap, where they were almost completely wiped out."

After saying that, a hint of regret and reluctance flashed across Jane's beautiful eyes, and then she looked at the corpses scattered on the ground with a touch of respect.

Those around Jane, including Lorik, Helena, and other powerful elves, all wore the same expression, as did Jasmine.

Although the elves and dwarves looked down on each other and never gave each other a friendly look, that was all there was to it.

Now, their only enemies are "Eclipse" and the possessed ones, and these powerful dwarves all died in battles against their enemies until their entire army was wiped out. It is not surprising that everyone has respect for them.

"These hill dwarves and wetland dwarves were also groups of several demigods, and I never expected them to perish here like this."

Some of the powerful individuals who had recently brushed past these dwarves felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but look at Lei Xiao.

If it weren't for His Majesty the Human Emperor gathering everyone together, they would probably be in this state by now.

While the powerful figures were sighing inwardly, Lei Xiao continued to survey the battlefield.

"There are no corpses of my powerful subordinates, nor are there any corpses of independent powerful individuals. It seems they must have escaped here in the chaos, or perhaps the guests who were teleported to this area are only the hill dwarves and wetland dwarves."

"In addition, their storage spaces and [God Stones] have also disappeared, which must have been taken away by the possessed beings."

Upon noticing this, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed again.

I wonder how the other powerful dwarves are doing, especially Grand Duke Secret Flame, General Rock, and Aheng of the Winged Race. They are probably in other regions, as well as that wandering demigod. These are all my key targets.

In addition, at least half of the second-tier powerhouses under his command are missing, and he must reunite with them as soon as possible.

Just as Lei Xiao was thinking this with a solemn expression, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently, almost causing him to lose his footing.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely violent energy fluctuation surged out like a storm, causing strong winds to rise around everyone, creating an astonishing spectacle.

However, all of this was fleeting, and things quickly returned to normal, leaving the astonished group looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This is……?!"

Helena was taken aback at first, then blurted out, "This is a phenomenon that only occurs when magical ley lines erupt!"

Just a few months ago, Helena experienced the same scene. Before she could react, a large amount of "corrosion" had already appeared around the forest elf village where she was staying.

Although the "Eclipse" that appeared was quickly wiped out by her and the arriving elven warriors, quite a few unsuspecting elves still fell to the tentacles of the "Eclipse".

Therefore, Helena was undoubtedly deeply impressed by this situation.

"That's true, but this is a land favored by the gods. How could a magical ley line erupt here?"

Jane reacted quickly and gripped the short blade tightly in her hand.

Upon hearing this, the other powerful figures also became solemn and made the same gesture.

"The direction from which the energy waves are emanating is over there."

Lei Xiao pointed to the center of the Land of Divine Favor and nodded slightly, saying, "The answer is self-evident; it must have been deliberately provoked by the other party."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn.

It started as a breeding ground for "Erosion," and now it's a surge of magical ley lines? It seems the opponent is determined to turn this place into a dead zone.

As the atmosphere within the team grew increasingly heavy, Lei Xiao's unease intensified.

Based on my earlier deduction about the colossal skeleton, this magical ley line eruption is probably not just about a large amount of "erosion" appearing in the world. There must be a deeper conspiracy involved, which is the most deadly part.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded to everyone again and instructed, "We don't have much time left, let's set off."

Following Lei Xiao's command, the group sped off again, beginning their search for survivors and the location of the array's core according to the pre-arranged plan.

However, despite everyone being on high alert, the surging magical ley lines greatly disrupted their senses and magical communication, preventing them from gaining anything. They soon arrived at the barrier separating the area.

"Your Majesty, we have not felt any energy resonance until now. It seems that the core of this formation is not on our side, but on the opposite side."

After trying to sense the situation again without success, Rorik said helplessly to Lei Xiao.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other powerful elves nodded helplessly, which undoubtedly meant that our side could no longer go to other areas to find more combat power.

"Then we only have one destination left."

Lei Xiao looked towards the central area again and solemnly said to everyone, "Everyone, get ready. We are about to head to their lair."

As soon as Lei Xiao said this, the atmosphere in the entire team became noticeably tense, as if the surrounding air had become extremely thick, making it difficult to breathe.

His Majesty the Human Race is right. Judging from the magical ley lines that just erupted, and from the removal of the absolute barrier, that place is our last stop here.

Furthermore, the other side is clearly plotting something, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.

Therefore, even though the road ahead is full of uncertainties and unknowns, we have no choice but to move forward; otherwise, standing still would be no different from waiting for death.

A sense of dread washed over them, and under Lei Xiao's command, the group sped towards the area they had started from.

It connects directly to the central area and has no barriers, making it undoubtedly the most direct route.

Just as Lei Xiao and his group were speeding towards their final destination, another colossal entity silently emerged outside this vast land favored by the gods.

This is also a place blessed by the gods, currently in a state of invisibility, so that no one is aware of it.

"So that's where it came from. We've finally found it."

On the city wall of this hidden land favored by the gods, a burly man in black robes stood with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the direct market where Lei Xiao and his group were located.

The dim moonlight illuminated the strange emblem on his chest, undoubtedly revealing him to be the "Erosion" Destroyer.

The aura emanating from its body was extremely powerful, making it almost impossible for the several demigods and one-star "Eclipse" beings around it to breathe.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

One of the demigods, the "Eclipse" Destroyer, bowed with his hand on his chest and inquired of the other party.

"Naturally, these parasites and the 'Eclipse' were completely annihilated. They actually attempted to use the power of the blessed land to create an even larger magical ley line eruption; they were simply courting death."

The black-robed "Erosion" said calmly without any inflection, "Currently, that magical ley line is extremely unstable and extremely large in scale. As long as we let it go berserk, a monstrous magical explosion will occur, and that directly controlled market will be reduced to ashes from the inside. At that time, it will be easy to eliminate those stray dogs."

"But, sir, there are still many guests from various factions there. If these factions find out that we were the ones who made the move, things might get complicated."

A hint of hesitation crossed the voice of the demigod "Erosion" destroyer, who hesitated.

"What do we care about the lives or deaths of those guests? Besides, we're not afraid of those top-tier powers, are we?"

The black-robed Eclipse Destroyer coldly stared at his opponent and questioned, "Are you questioning my orders?" (End of Chapter)
