Chapter 470: Chapter 217: Absolute Domination, the Main Force Appears
Eternity?
Akayle was stunned.
It looked at Lin Ye, full of shock and suspicion.
’How could a mere human promise eternity?!’
’Not even the supreme being it once served would dare speak of eternity!’
As if seeing through its doubt, Carlos continued, "The Curse Bone Race is not immortal. My soulfire is already like a candle in the wind. In just a few more years, it will be completely extinguished and turn to dust."
"But my new king has made us a promise."
"As long as the king does not die, we... will live forever!"
At these words, not only Akayle but also Hu Dahai and the others in the distance wore looks of utter shock.
Eternal life?!
Lin Ye could actually grant his minions eternal life?!
「In the Firewood Martial Hall’s conference room.」
The faint murmurs of doubt from before had long since vanished without a trace.
Carlos’s words shook everyone to the core.
Eternal life!
A faint smile finally appeared on Lv Yongze’s face.
He turned to the man beside him, Xiao Yuanshan, whose expression had turned unbelievably sour.
"Mr. Xiao."
"I seem to recall you asking earlier whether Lin Ye... could command hundreds of members of the Celestial Abyss Race at will?"
His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the conference room with perfect clarity.
Xiao Yuanshan kept his head down, hiding his expression, but a flicker of humiliation flashed in his eyes.
But Lv Yongze, feigning ignorance, continued, "Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why the sudden silence?"
Xiao Yuanshan felt blood rush to his head.
He never imagined that his earlier posturing would be thrown back in his face like this, leaving him utterly speechless!
A vicious blow!
Those words were meant to utterly destroy him!!
...
「On the battlefield.」
Lin Ye watched as his legion fell into a disadvantage.
But he wasn’t the least bit flustered.
’It’s time to play my trump card.’
The [Power of Life and Death] mechanic allowed him to directly share one of his skills with all his minions.
Lin Ye’s consciousness swept over his long list of skills.
Finally, it stopped on the passive trait he had obtained from the Rot Eye Race.
[Soul Melting Bone Erosion]!
’You’re the one!’
[DING! You have chosen to share the trait "Soul Melting Bone Erosion" with all your minions!]
BZZZZ—!
An invisible wave, with Lin Ye at its center, instantly spread across the entire battlefield!
The next moment, another change occurred!
Under Lin Ye’s command, tens of thousands of his minions of all shapes and sizes—be they the Black Nightmare Race or the recently defected Curse Bone Race—suddenly found their bodies coated in a thin layer of dark green mucus that emitted a pungent odor!
A Curse Bone Race member, fighting one of Akayle’s Personal Guard, fiercely swung its bone claw!
SPLAT!
When the bone claw scraped across the enemy’s tough bone armor, it did more than just fail to break through. A large glob of highly corrosive acid splashed all over the Personal Guard!
TSSSSSS—!!!
A cringe-inducing sizzling sound rang out. Under the acid’s corrosion, the Personal Guard’s indestructible body began to melt away rapidly, like butter on a hot knife, emitting puffs of black smoke!
And that was only the beginning!
It was as if a dark green acid rain had suddenly started to fall across the entire battlefield!
With every attack, every collision, all of Lin Ye’s minions had turned into mobile, high-potency acid sprayers!
In that instant, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt!
Akayle’s Personal Guard was powerful, but they ultimately had a weakness.
The acid of the Rot Eye Race was the most terrifying nightmare for these Spirit Bodies!
Swarms of the Personal Guard fell amidst agonized wails, their bodies riddled with corrosive holes, until they finally dissolved into clouds of black smoke and vanished!
The battle line, which had been slowly advancing, instantly collapsed and was driven back with devastating force by Lin Ye’s acid army!
"You... how dare you...!"
High in the sky, the soulfire in Akayle’s eye sockets flickered violently.
It was both shocked and enraged, completely unable to comprehend!
’Why could a human grant an ability belonging to the Rot Eye Race to the Curse Bone Race and the Black Nightmare Race?!’
’This completely defied its understanding!’
In the conference room, even Lv Yongze, who had remained calm all this time, finally showed a flicker of emotion.
His eyes narrowed, staring intently at the Claw and Fang Legion on the screen, which had been instantaneously transformed.
"He can even make his army... manifest his own Martial Arts Spirituality ability out of thin air!"
"Now that’s terrifying!"
Lin Ye himself also felt the terror of [Power of Life and Death].
The reason he had been able to withstand Akayle’s attack earlier was precisely because he had used this mechanic to temporarily gain the Curse Bone Race’s [Damage Transfer] ability, transferring that terrifying damage to his minions.
And now, by sharing a skill, he had elevated his entire legion’s combat power by more than just a single level!
Just as the battle became completely one-sided.
WHIRRRRR—!!!
A series of sharp yet deep engine roars echoed from the sky, growing closer by the second!
Everyone subconsciously looked up.
They saw countless streaks of light cutting through the thick fog, streaking toward the battlefield at an astonishing speed!
It was a force of over a hundred military Martial Artists, clad in standard-issue silver-and-black Exoskeleton Armor and propelled by streams of blue particles jetting from their backs!
Behind them were more than ten new-model military aircraft with sleek, sci-fi designs, shimmering with halos of energy.
These aircraft slowly entered the airspace above the canyon, their dark muzzles locking onto the battlefield below.
Only a few short minutes had passed since the higher-ups of the two Martial Halls had called for reinforcements.
