A true overlord was at least at the Legendary level, and at most comparable to a true god. It was indeed beyond their current level.
This also showed how powerful a true overlord was, and how terrifying a fake overlord like him was. He was definitely not just for show.
"Then I'm relieved!"
With a snap of his fingers, a dozen necromancers waved their staffs and ordered the undead army to begin charging.
On the opposite side, Li Cheng recovered from the shock of discovering the Lord of the Flames. He hurriedly ordered the army to press down and charge.
Previously, he was still thinking of commanding his troops to engage in a fierce battle, deploying troops to suppress the enemy head-on or outflank them, and other ingenious tactics to show off his commanding ability. Now, these thoughts had run out of his mind. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to defeat the undead army as quickly as possible. Then, he would engage in a full-scale battle with the fire elementals summoned from the sea of lava. As long as he was fast enough, he might be able to fight a wave.
At this moment, his mind was no longer as confident as before. Instead, it was replaced by nervousness and unwillingness. He kept muttering to himself.
"I've already come this far. There's hope for the top three. I can't lose. I can't lose …"
"Summon the fire elementals!"
Lin Xiao ordered in a deep voice.
The fake Lord of the Flames in the plane roared at the sky.
"In the name of the Lord of the Sea of Lava, I summon my people!"
Countless fire vortexes of various sizes appeared out of thin air in the sea of lava that had already covered a diameter of two to three thousand meters. Fire creatures happily rushed out of the Fire Elementium Plane while riding on the lava spewing out of the vortexes. Even Lin Xiao was shocked by the sheer number of fire creatures.
Ordinary fire elementals could only summon one or a few fire elementals of the same level or a few levels lower.
However, a Lord of the Flames summoned more than ten extraordinary-level large fire elementals in one go, and one of them was even a Level Seven elite fire elemental. It was a terrifying force.
The flame sprites, whose numbers had nearly doubled, expanded the Land of Fire by nearly twice its original size. The ground melted and formed a huge lava lake. More than a thousand flame sprites happily swam around in the lava lake. The high temperature created by the gathering of the flame sprites caused the temperature of the entire plane to rise significantly. As the boundless flames converged towards the center of the lava lake, Lord of the Flames, Culbert, slowly rose into the air. Surrounded by the flame sprites, Culbert raised his arms made of flames. His deep and powerful voice echoed throughout the plane.
"# @ ¥¥% … * …"
The sky quickly turned red, and a fiery vortex appeared in the sky and quickly spread. The red light quickly spread to the edge of the plane that was ten kilometers by ten kilometers.
Li Cheng stared dumbfoundedly at the fiery meteor that was slowly emerging from the center of the fiery vortex in the sky. The meteor and the plane repelled each other, and the void became red and distorted. Thousands of words echoed in her mind, and finally converged into one word.
"F * ck …"
Legendary spell — Meteor Fall!
Even with the Authority of the Lord of the Flames, he had gathered the power of more than fifteen extraordinary-rank super-large fire elementals and thousands of fire elementals of various ranks to allow Culbert to cast a Legendary spell two ranks above him.
What would happen if a flaming meteor with a diameter of more than fifty meters passed through the plane's crystal wall and appeared in this plane that was only ten kilometers in length and width?
Destroy the heavens and earth!
The end of the world!
With a deafening boom, a mushroom cloud of flames with a diameter of several kilometers slowly rose into the air. A massive ring of flames swept across and slammed into the edge of the plane. Everything within range was wiped out by an indescribable force.
Be it Li Cheng's Devil Army, Lin Xiao's Undead Army, or most of the fire elementals were turned into fine powder by this destructive force. Only a small number of lava elementals and extraordinary-rank fire elementals hid in the lava sea and survived. Even the extraordinary-rank fire elementals that were summoned were forcefully sent back to the Fire Elemental Plane. There were less than ten of them left alive in the entire plane.
Even the Lord of the Flames, Culbert, had returned to the Fire Elemental Plane. After all, it was a Legendary spell that was two ranks above. His body that existed in the material plane directly collapsed after summoning the meteor.
This was the power of a destructive Legendary spell. Ordinary demigods would not dare to take it head-on. Even a true god would have to expend a lot of divine power to take a direct hit from the meteor.
Using such a big move in a limited place was like sacrificing eight hundred to kill one thousand enemies, but it was still a victory.
Li Cheng was sent away with a sullen and helpless expression, leaving behind three cards. The glittering Devil Army Card was among them.
Speaking of which, as he persisted in the later rounds of the challenge, Lin Xiao realized that his luck was getting better and better. The further he went, the more he could draw the best things from his opponents.
He guessed that as he continued to defeat his opponents, he was also plundering their luck. Up until now, his accumulated luck was already very scary. It was not inferior to the so-called European King. Up until now, in the top ten stages, he could basically draw the best few cards from his opponents every time he drew a card.
It was normal when he thought about it. After all, this was a competition that depended on luck. Major General Kerry's purpose in setting the rules of the competition was definitely not just to see who was the luckiest.
Every victory was actually plundering the luck of his opponents. Even if his luck was bad, when he won eight or nine times in a row, the luck he accumulated would not be any different from the European King. There would not be a situation where his luck was so bad after winning eight or nine rounds, and he would only draw rubbish.
So now the question was, how should he use these two golden mythical grade five-star cards and the ancient card that could summon the Violent Demonic Army?
Now, Lin Xiao had three ideas. One was to continue strengthening the Blazing Lava Sea card.
However, the problem was that the Blazing Lava Sea card had now reached the limit of a grade-five card. It seemed that a grade-five card could not directly summon creatures above grade-seven, so the result of continuing strengthening now would not be to strengthen the fake Flame Lord Kurt to grade-seven or to become a real Flame Lord. At most, it would increase the number of fire elements that the card could summon.
For example, more grade-six rare fire elements, more large, medium, and small fire elements, and so on.
In other words, there would only be a quantitative change, not a qualitative change.
Another idea was to continue strengthening the Undead Army card. This ancient card still had a lot of potential for strengthening. After all, the twelve necromancers were only grade-five, not even grade-six. If he continued strengthening and all the necromancers reached grade-six, the overall strength would be different.
As for the third idea, it was to break down this Undead Army card to strengthen the Violent Demonic Army card.
According to the calculation of the summoned creatures, the potential and strength of the demons were stronger than the undead. They were especially good at charging and breaking through enemy lines. According to Lin Xiao's plan, with the demon army as the vanguard and the Flame Lord leading the fire elements behind, the combination of the two would be very powerful.
Lin Xiao's main reason for thinking this way was that the legendary spell in the next battle, Meteor Fall, could not be used. It was not that he could not continue to use it, but he did not dare to use it.
The power of this spell was too terrifying, and it was an indiscriminate spell. In the previous battle, Li Cheng only won because she did not have any subordinates with strong life-saving abilities. If she encountered an opponent with strong life-saving abilities who could survive the aftermath of the meteor in the next round, wouldn't she be dumbfounded?
After using the spell once and knowing the pros and cons, she would definitely not take the risk again.
Unless the opponent's strength was far beyond her, perhaps she could try a game where everyone finished together.
While he was hesitating here, on another battlefield, another contestant from Yu Ming Trading Company, Wang Jiechao, was defeated by Arya from the Ivy League.
On another battlefield, the battle between Wu Zhonglin and Bart, one of the two prodigies of the Ivy League, was about to come to an end. The two sides fought for nearly seven hours in the plane. In the end, Wu Zhonglin defeated Bart with a slight advantage and advanced to the next round.
On the fourth battlefield, Wang Xinhe also defeated the last contestant from the Ivy League by a small margin and won.
At this point, other than Lin Xiao, the cheater, the other contestants did not have much of an advantage.
Well, except for Shen Yuexin. At this time, she was sitting alone in the void, her hands supporting her delicate little face as she spaced out. This round, she did not have to advance.
In the previous round, only nine contestants advanced, so one of them would definitely have a bye, and this slot fell into her hands.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses and looked at her sleepy face. After getting the answer, he fell into deep thought.
Advancing without a bye was already enviable, and the key was that she drew two Primordial God Cards and a Mythical God Card from the card pool. This was very enviable.
As expected, the real Queen of Luck was not something that fake Queen of Luck like them could compare to. Lin Xiao was speechless.
About ten minutes later, the last match between Wu Zhonglin and Bart had completely ended. Bart disappeared, and there were only five contestants left in the Graveyard of the Gods — Lin Xiao, Shen Yuexin, Wu Zhonglin, Arya, and Wang Xinhe.
According to the rules, one more round would determine the top three. At the same time, because it was a two-on-one battle, this round would also result in one lucky contestant and the other two winners to advance to the top three.
Four of the five contestants were from the Huaxia region, and Arya was the only one left from the Ivy League.
The Wolf Fang team's instructor, Hong Yunfei, laughed at the Ivy League's instructors and observers not far away.
"Looks like the quality of your elites this year is not good enough. You had such a huge advantage in the beginning, and now you only have one contestant left. It would be a joke if you can't even get into the top three."
The undisguised mockery made the Ivy League fall silent. They did not even have a chance to refute because they had nothing to say.
However, although they were silent, they were not angry because this was a normal situation. At the end of every year, the winning team would always mock the losing team. It was already a routine.
Everyone knew what the so-called championship was all about. If they won, they would definitely show off.
What really upset them was that if they could not get first place, not only would the Graveyard of the Gods have nothing to do with them, but they would also lose the treasure inside. This was the main reason why they were upset.
However, the rules were already set. Whether they could win or not depended on the contestants' luck. If they could not win, they could not do anything about it.
This was the Huaxia region's territory. Moreover, the return of Major General Kerry's remnant soul had alerted many big shots, so they had no chance to act shamelessly.
