The series of explosions lasted for a full five minutes.
With the effects of Fatal Link and Amplify Damage, the damage from Luo Chen's self-destruction was perfectly replicated on every stone statue imp.
With ten times the force of self-destruction, these Windwing Mantises, which had penetrated deep into the enemy ranks and had not particularly outstanding defenses, were instantly annihilated in the powerful energy storm.
When the blood mist and explosions subsided, only Lord 064 and a few severely injured Windwing Mantises remained alive.
He hid under a protective scroll, his face extremely pale.
To compare oneself to silver while possessing gold in the public eye would likely condemn one to eternal shame.
[The 064 Star Domain Lord wins, gaining all of the opponent's 28 points.]
"Even in defeat, there is honor."
Jiang Yan sighed with some admiration.
I never expected that this guy who always just says he wants to lie down would not only hide his true profession as a curse mage, but also come up with this kind of suicidal scheme.
Indeed, the geniuses of the various major powers should not be underestimated.
"Haha, you guys are no good either. You've trained for so long, but if you increase the intensity even slightly, you'll shatter at the slightest touch."
"It seems that among the three star systems, your 064 is the weakest."
"See that? Our suzerain prince dares to fight beyond his level. Do you dare challenge Boss Jiang? Cowards!"
The lords of Starfield 079, who had been feeling stifled for a long time, finally cheered up and began to retaliate.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Did you win? If it weren't for the Abyss Trial, your princes would all be dead."
"Exactly, they couldn't win even with dirty tricks, and they even lost their lives. How dare they complain?"
The people from Starfield 064 retorted just as fiercely.
"Shut up!"
Arland interrupted with a grim expression, glaring fiercely at the lord who had retreated.
This useless person ruined all the plans.
He can be shameless, but he can't be too shameless.
If they have just won a crushing victory, they can use the excuse that the other royal family is not strong enough to provoke another royal family.
But under the current circumstances, it's not appropriate to continue.
Somewhat unwillingly, he said, "Let's have a free challenge and shut them up."
A diamond-rank lord stepped forward and issued a challenge: "Come on, you've got a lot of bragging rights, so take the challenge if you dare."
"Avoid war."
A lord from Starfield 079 refused without hesitation, then spat and said, "Your grandpa just won't take it, come and bite me!"
He figured it out: since finishing last was inevitable, why be cowardly?
Who says you can't talk big if you can't beat someone?
Does being a master of empty talk mean you're not a true master?
Then a strange thing happened.
As challenges unfold.
The side that avoids the fight spews profanities, while the winning side's face grows increasingly gloomy.
What do you mean?
They were so submissive when fighting the other two star regions, but they got so aggressive when they encountered us?
The people in the other two star systems couldn't help but gloat.
With such a "pig jade" precedent, attracting attention and reducing public opinion about losing the first stage reward will be much better.
Finally, after an extremely agonizing ordeal, he completed the 266th challenge and ended the challenge with a grim expression.
He felt like a clown.
In the first round, they shamelessly attacked the lower levels, but in the end, they still couldn't beat Jiang Yan.
In the second part, he tried to steal a chicken, but ended up getting pecked by it instead.
unlucky!
[Challenge 064 has ended. Now it's time for Challenge 079.]
Then an announcement was made.
Jiang Yan stood up and scanned the islands one by one.
The three leaders from the sixth cosmic star system tensed up, and even Allando couldn't care less about regretting what had happened earlier.
They hadn't made a move in the previous rounds because they were afraid of being chosen as Jiang Yan's opponent in this round.
It's not that I'm particularly afraid.
With the rankings already set, such a competition would only be a pointless waste of resources and tactics.
But avoiding war would mean bearing a lifetime of infamy.
"Let me go first."
Luo Qianyu suddenly spoke up.
"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded slightly.
In the 079 star system, only those two are capable of challenging them.
"You, come out."
The girl stepped forward, locked her gaze on a lord who had previously joined in slandering the Starry Empire, and spoke calmly.
"I?"
A blue-skinned lord stepped out of the queue with slight surprise, then sneered.
Although he is only a lord who has passed the Hero-level assessment, his win rate is at least 80% given his higher level and support from the real world.
The opponent is a princess of the Starry Sky Royal Family. Defeating her might even reverse the impact of our previous defeat.
With that in mind, he said without hesitation, "I accept."
Instantly, both sides were teleported to the center.
On one side are the Gold Tier 1 epic units, Earth Dragon Knights and a small number of Wyvern Knights.
On one side is the Golden Tier 10 superior unit, the Masked Bee Queen.
In terms of pure strength, the difference is not that big.
Upon entering the arena, the Lord of Starfield 064 took out several scrolls without hesitation.
Temporary Promotion Contract (Epic): Temporarily promotes 10,000 inner clan members by one rank for 24 hours. The maximum promotion level cannot exceed Epic.
Powerful War Pact (Epic): Temporarily adds a 5% bonus to all attributes...
After using five or six scrolls in a row, the queen bees' aura surged, showing a faint tendency to suppress their opponents.
That way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong.
Lord of Starfield 064 breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a relaxed smile.
He won't make the same careless mistake his previous colleague made.
On the other side, Luo Qianyu watched the other person's actions with disdain and took out a thick magic book from her storage space.
As the most outstanding examinee in this round of Starry Royal Family assessments, the resources she received were unimaginable.
Although limited by the rules of the various realms, she is temporarily inferior to those who were given special training in the outer regions over the years, but for a mere hero-level lord to compare wealth with her is simply a pipe dream.
She was too lazy to even use Lord Skills to enhance her troops.
Injecting magic directly, he casually tore off dozens of sheets.
One-time super-level magic: Extreme Ice Storm.
One-time super-level magic: Lava Fire Sea.
One-time superior magic: Wind Blade Sky Strike.
...
The spectators stared in disbelief.
Dozens of high-level, one-time-use spells were unleashed simultaneously in the arena.
Ice crystals, storms, flames, fissures in the ground...
The violent magic instantly engulfed thousands of masked queen bees.
Even though they had advanced to the epic level under the temporary contract, they were powerless to resist the magical feast that was like divine punishment.
boom!
Amidst dazzling magical sparks, the lord of Starfield 064, along with his 5,000 followers, turned to ashes.
Within the small area of the arena, the power of these area-of-effect spells was maximized, making them virtually unavoidable.
Luo Qianyu has won the challenge and earned 44 points.
"It's good to be rich."
Looking at Luo Qianyu retreating back to the island, Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh again.
These 37 high-level magic scrolls were at least made by a master-level spirit talisman master and are worth tens of millions of soul crystals.
"Your turn."
Luo Qianyu did not show much excitement on her face.
Earning such a few points is useless; I'm still at the bottom.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, looked at Arlando who was silently hiding in the crowd, and issued a challenge.
"Damn it, why me!"
Arland's face darkened immediately. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"I choose to avoid war."
So what if I lose face? I can't waste precious props on a petty argument.
Lord Jiang Yan has successfully completed the challenge and earned 14 points.
As a notification sounded, the atmosphere in the entire trial space suddenly changed.
Despite winning two consecutive matches, the Lords of Starfield 079 had no intention of mocking anyone and all lowered their heads in silence.
The challenge wasn't over yet, but the rest of them simply didn't have the strength to fight their opponents.
it's all over.
With less than 4,000 points remaining, the Abyss Corruption level will rise by at least 1.5 points; they are all sinners.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the other two star regions finally stopped hiding their identities. They had already used up their challenge opportunities with the strongest opponent and were no longer a threat.
"Weren't you yelling a lot just now? Keep going!"
"We gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You can't blame others," Hei Yan mocked.
He was still resentful about the "birds of a feather".
"Your star region is finished!" Alland said fiercely. His 064 star region had lost face but hadn't gained any benefits.
"Opening champagne halfway through a trip is not a good habit."
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and glanced at the three star regions that seemed to have already won.
Silently connecting all realms.
"After this round of challenges, I request to fight with my back against the wall."
