Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Hero’s City – Treasure News

“Magic immunity? So what, if the spells don’t affect the enemy directly, you can’t gain immunity,” Lin Xiao said with his hands behind his back, looking at Bart.

“Neither mirage nor Constant Phantom have any effect on the Blood Demons; naturally, they can’t detect it. Not even Bart’s projection found anything. After all, in this challenge, no matter if it’s Bart or Lin Xiao, their field of view is related to their Clan, and if their Clan can’t detect something, neither can they.”

So, right under their watchful eyes, a huge summoning Array quickly took shape, activated, and energy surged, causing the twisted space to become unstable.

Once the energy fluctuations of the Array reached a certain point, the twisted space could no longer hide, and the Blood Demons, finally noticing the disturbance, pounced. But a dozen Wise Goblins Grand Magicians who were prepared summoned a large number of formal Mages to use magic to distort space, severing it completely and transforming it into a vast Space Maze using the existing spatial distortions.

The Blood Demons lunged forward, seeing their enemies seemingly within arm’s reach, only to overshoot and grasp at thin air upon approach.

The principle of the Space Maze is to twist and change space; the Blood Demons’ innate magic-breaking ability could only break spells, not space itself.

Not only could they not even touch the shadows of the Mages, but they also found themselves trapped within the Maze, unable to find a way out. Some less fortunate ones fell into traps hidden within the Space Maze, such as razor­sharp space cracks that could easily split them apart.

Lin Xiao looked at Bart and asked,

“How about these few spells?”

When Mages use their wisdom, it can be quite terrifying.

The reason this hadn’t been done before is that it was a battlefield, where the most practical spells are wide-range AGE spells that bombarded the area, simple and effective. Manipulating space with flashy spells is troublesome and not practical, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t capable of it.

After trapping the Blood Demons, only a few Mages were left to maintain the Space Maze to prevent any Blood Demons from accidentally escaping, while the rest joined in stabilizing the large summoning Array.

The Maze spell only had a trapping effect, and its duration was limited; after all, it was only a hastily deployed maze spell without much difficulty. Given the Blood Demons’ speed, it wouldn’t take long to brute force their way out.

They may not even need a minute to break through.

But by then it would be too late, as the summoning Array was about to open.

With a dazzling pillar of energy erupting thousands of meters high and piercing through the foreign domain’s firmament, a massive tidal wave of energy shattered the Space Maze to pieces. Over two hundred Blood Demons, who had been flailing like headless flies, were suddenly free and immediately noticed the vast activated Array nearby and the dense legions teleporting over.

Especially in the center of the Array, an enormous figure, mountain-like in stature, seemed to sense their gaze and suddenly opened its eyes. The world lit up as if struck by lightning, and all the Blood Demons trembled in unison, revealing a hint of shock.

“Retreat!”

The leader of the Blood Demons made a snap decision and fled with his subordinates.

The Mages paid no mind and continued with the summoning of the main forces.

“I am the Truth Saint Slarda!”

As that massive figure with an aura that took one’s breath away appeared, countless onlookers from outside the plane let out exclamations of surprise, their eyes glued to the arriving Slarda and the dazzling multicolored Aura that bloomed upon his arrival.

This was not a Hero Aura but a phenomenon caused by the Void’s energy being repelled and compressed upon Slarda’s arrival, due to his overpowering presence.

This was something seen only on extremely powerful beings that had grasped certain Rules and authority, such as… the true legendary figures who have ascended through mastering the Rules or demigods.

To put it another way, even if Lin Xiao’s True Body arrived in a Different Domain, unless he specifically consumed Divine Power, his normal descent wouldn’t cause such phenomena.

That is to say, without using Divine Power, just through his physical presence alone, Slarda had already surpassed him at this moment.

This anomaly didn’t last long. Lin Xiao remembered that ever since he decided to solidify his Truth Divine Position, officially changed his church’s name, and its teachings, Slarda began to consider himself the Truth Saint. It was from that time that Slarda’s aura began to change.

It’s incredibly mysterious, and even Lin Xiao couldn’t explain exactly what was happening, only knowing that all of these changes were coming from the Truth Divine Position.

After he began concentrating on the Truth Divine Position, and Slarda assumed the mantle of Truth Saint, Lin Xiao found that his understanding of the Rule of Truth accelerated, and it was as if Slarda could assist him in comprehending the Rule of Truth.

At the same time, as his understanding of the Rule of Truth grew stronger, so did the obscurity of Slarda’s aura, as if they were fostering each other’s growth.

This was a very mysterious change.

Lin Xiao had a premonition that once he truly solidified his Godhood, the Truth Saint Slarda would also undergo a transformation.

Along with Slarda, his primary forces arrived, including the ten thousand tall Asura Naga, over a hundred thousand Small Fishman, more than thirty thousand fully armed Grey Dwarves, and a multitude of different Elements densely covering the sky.

Accompanied by a massive dragon’s roar, the Black Dragon Nejelanmu crawled out from the Teleportation Array, spreading its enormous wings soaring into the sky.

The Darkness Saint Slarda.

The Wise Goblins Grand Magician Alemente.

The Tide Lord Akens.

The Flame Lord Kurbert.

The four heroes emerged one by one from the portal, and with each step they took, Bart’s face twisted more and more in displeasure. When all the Clan members gathered, flaunting their transcendent aura that surpassed that of the ordinary, Bart’s jaw dropped in disbelief, and so did those of countless onlookers as they beheld the assembly of over forty Seventh Level Naga Knights and more than two thousand Sixth Level Naga warriors.

“More than two thousand transcendent Clan members…”

This was several times more than what Bart had anticipated. How were they supposed to fight now?

While the gap between ordinary Clan members wasn’t significant, the massive difference in high-end combat power left Bart pondering from every angle without any breakthrough on how to turn the tables.

If it had been before, he would have still believed his main Clan members could fly, which would give them a fighting chance, but now that he knew those short statures were all true Mages, he no longer held that thought.

A true Mage, compared to one who has ascended through a Profession Card, is an entirely different species.

What his supposed Mage-slayer countered were those made through Profession Cards or Magicians, not true Mages.

Even if all his members were magic immune, true Mages possessed plenty of spells that could ignore magic immunity and toy with the Blood Demons effortlessly.

To give a simple example, a Mage could twist the space around a Blood Demon, temporarily trapping it within a spatial sphere, and then exile that sphere to the Void. There, the horrific Void Storms could grind it into dust.

Against such methods, magic immunity was powerless, as the Mage could kill you without laying a finger on you.

There are many spells capable of circumventing magic immunity. They might be rarely used and obscure but that doesn’t mean they can’t be deployed.

Once all the Clan members had been summoned, Lin Xiao turned to Bart and inquired:

“So, do you still want to continue the fight?”

Bart’s complexion shifted back and forth; he really wanted to continue with his tough stance, but after hesitating for a long time, he eventually let out a heavy sigh and bitterly admitted:

“I concede!”

A slight smile spread across Lin Xiao’s lips, starting soft, then growing louder and louder until he finally clutched his forehead and laughed heartily.

Bart couldn’t stand it any longer and swiftly conceded, making his exit.

Emerging from the challenge dimension, the first thing he felt was a change in the gaze of his companions. They looked at him as if he were a monster.

After a while, Lin Xu came forward and lightly punched his shoulder:

“Well done! I think if your cousin saw this, he’dbe very happy.”

More than happy, he was flabbergasted.

When Lin Xiao descended with his main forces, revealing all his capabilities, the Lin father in Lin Family Fortress was dumbstruck. At this moment, he viewed his son with an estranged expression, wondering:

“Is this really my son?”

He knew his son was capable—after all, he was specially recruited by Radiance —but he never imagined his son could be this formidable; it was well beyond his expectations.

Lin Haolin sat on the sofa, silent for a while, his face expressing both pleasure and confusion. Meanwhile, Jin Yunzhu was engrossed in watching other battles with enthusiasm. Yet, the screen in front of her displayed another battlefield— she wasn’t watching her own son’s fight but was instead focused on her young aunt’s and Aria’s challenge.

Not to mention the discordantly immature mother, within the Void, two out of three duels had already been decided: he had defeated Bart, and Wu Zhonglin had emerged victorious over Karl before him.

Looking at Karl standing there with a fallen face, wordless, it was clear he had probably suffered a dismal defeat; anyone who had just narrowly lost wouldn’t wear such an expression.

With two victories out of three duels, it didn’t matter who won between Shen Yuexin and Aria—the outcome would remain unchanged.

Lin Xiao wanted to take the opportunity to watch and assess his girlfriend’s strength. It had been a long time since he saw Shen Yuexin fight and he was curious about her progress.

But as soon as he switched to watch the battle, and just as the view loaded, he only had time to glimpse giant birds with more than ten-meter wingspans enshrouded in lightning, with Thunder Wrath Magicians with thunder wings on their backs summoning a sky filled with lightning bolts…

Then the screen went dark—the battle was over.

Caught in a fleeting glimpse, he saw that her main Clan of Thunder Wings was quite numerous, and the ascended Sixth Level transcendent Thunder Wrath Magicians were still formidable.

The giant birds, with wingspans over ten meters, wrapped in lightning, must be her Divine Realm’s new family members, resembling the famed Thunderbirds, well-matched with the Thunder Wings.

After three battles, to the surprise of who knows how many, the HuaXia District achieved a clean sweep of victories.

The Ivy League Alliance of High Schools, led by Eternal Night College, silently retreated aside, yielding their place without a single victory to their name. Not even those with the thickest skins had the confidence to stand their ground, nor the will to argue.

With the Ivy League conceding, the Giant Enterprises Alliance led by Eternal Night Super Academy, and the Aristocracy Council headed by Heaven Mountain, didn’t dare to compete further and withdrew to the sidelines, distancing themselves from the entrance to the Ruins of Myriad. Other College alliances followed suit, retreating even further.

This also adhered to an unspoken rule: when you lose, you step aside gracefully.

Rarely does one encounter a situation where the defeated refuse to acknowledge their loss.
