Chapter 606

By four in the afternoon, Li Yue had already opened thirteen treasure chests.

In other words, they had already overrun thirteen cities of the Lola Kingdom.

At the same time, he had also gained over fifteen million energy.

And when Li Yue opened the attribute panel and saw another seven million energy added, he also gained some understanding of the battles elsewhere.

By now, they should all be wrapping things up.

And now the army was still over five hundred kilometers from Ducheng, the capital of the Lola Kingdom, with no fewer than eighty or a hundred checkpoints along the way.

If Li Yue really had to follow along and open each one himself, he'd be worked to death.

Besides, they were all diamond treasure chests, the ones he least wanted to open, so—

He simply left directly, leaving them one legendary witch, then took the remaining witch guard battalion straight back to the Chenxi Territory.

As for the task of opening treasure chests, he handed it over to the two corps commanders.

Way back when Li Yue had ordered them to clear out the surrounding lords, he had already granted them this authority.

The return trip took no more than an hour.

And it happened to be just in time for Li Yue's dinner; he merrily made his way to the Purple Thorn city wall.

Another two hundred and thirty-plus Purple Thorn flowers went down his belly, and without surprise, three free talent points.

He put them all straight into farming, successfully raising farming to lv6.

The grain output of the Chenxi Territory and its sub-territories directly increased by 60%.

Back in Sky City, Li Yue began his evening training for the day.

At the same time, the second layer of the underground world.

In a dimly lit great hall, on a chair made of dragon bone, a bull-headed man covered in muscles sat sprawled across it.

Looking down at Shi Shi the Bull Demon kneeling below, he spoke with his usual contempt:

"Speak, what is it!"

The Bull Demon kneeling below still hesitated, not daring to speak.

Seeing him like this, the bull-headed creature above showed a hint of anger on his face.

"Speak! This king pardons you!"

The Bull Demon slowly raised his head, his eyes wandering, not daring to look at the bull-headed creature.

"Lord Ma Ke!"

"The young master, the young master, he—"

Hearing it was that useless son of his again, Ma Ke slammed the armrest hard.

"That useless thing again, doing nothing but causing trouble outside all day!"

Ma Ke sank into rage; only after a long while did his emotions slowly recover.

He took a deep breath and asked the Bull Demon:

"Speak, what has he gotten into this time!"

Seeing Ma Ke's earlier furious state, the Bull Demon was terrified, his eyes filled with waves of timidity.

Trembling, he spoke:

"The young master, the young master, he, he was, was—"

Hearing this, Ma Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like this boy was taught a lesson by someone this time, hahahaha!"

For some reason, hearing that someone had finally laid a hand on his useless son made him feel quite comfortable inside.

However, the Bull Demon's next words made his laughter cut off abruptly.

"Killed!"

The air suddenly went quiet, but the Bull Demon could very clearly sense a thick killing intent rising.

"Who! Who dares to touch my son Ma Ke's!"

Seeing the enraged Lord Ma Ke above, the Bull Demon's voice trembled even more.

"I-it was an angel!"

Hearing "angel," Ma Ke instantly fell into deep thought.

"Angel? Could it be that the Angel Sanctuary has emerged?"

"Impossible! The seal on our clan has at least a thousand years left."

He hurriedly pressed the Bull Demon:

"Did you get a clear look at how many wings that angel had?"

Hearing Lord Ma Ke's tone ease slightly, the Bull Demon's trembling heart gradually calmed.

He began to think carefully.

Ma Ke didn't press him either, letting the Bull Demon focus on recalling.

"Lord Ma Ke, this subordinate did not see that angel's wings, but on the dharma image she condensed, there were two wings."

Ma Ke fell into thought; the Bull Demon seemed to recall something else and spoke again:

"Lord Ma Ke, recently a special kind of being has appeared on the surface—"

"It's called a lord."

"Lords possess territories and can summon creatures different from their own race."

"That angel that day seemed to be a subordinate of a lord!"

Hearing that this angel was not from the Angel Sanctuary, Ma Ke lost his composure and instantly grew violent.

"What? Just because it's not an angel from the Angel Sanctuary, he dares to lay a hand on my son?"

"Send for the troops, prepare the army, and follow me to the Transition Layer!"

After that ox demon quickly withdrew, the entire City of Klay began to surge.

Lord Chenxi's Domain—

After finishing the event, Li Yue began his daily cultivation.

Ever since obtaining the divine artifact, the Apocalypse Emperor's Cloak, he could clearly feel the flow speed of his mana increase significantly every time he cultivated.

What previously took three days to condense could now be completed in just one day.

It was simply too awesome.

This made him unable to help but look forward to what kind of scene it would be when he had divine artifacts installed all over his body.

Carrying this unrealistic dream, Li Yue slowly fell asleep.

At eight o'clock, the angel Angel woke Li Yue up right on time.

After some morning exercises, Li Yue eagerly arrived at the Wall of Purple Thorns.

He stuffed purple thorn flowers into his mouth, one handful in his left hand and one in his right.

If other lords were to see Li Yue squandering his breakfast like this, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.

Just this one breakfast cost more than two million energy.

The resources exchanged for two million energy could stack a pig up to Diamond 1.8.

And this was merely a breakfast that Li Yue ate relatively little of.

Such treatment, before he had started selling off purple thorn flowers on a large scale, might have been enjoyed by only him in this world.

To eat a little less for breakfast, two hundred purple thorn flowers were enough.

Without luck exploding, a standard two points of free talent points were credited.

Li Yue directly upgraded Farming to Lv8, increasing the grain yield of all territories belonging to Lord Chenxi's Domain by 80%.

Just one more meal away, and Farming could be upgraded to Lv10, achieving 100% grain yield; even if ten thousand more units were added, there would be no need to worry about food issues.

As soon as Li Yue finished eating, the Elf Queen Shirley brought good news.

"My lord, the Demon City has been conquered; the other two factions can be captured within at most one more day."
