"This won’t be a problem." Lin Yi understood Lin Xin’s aning and nodded in comprehension.
"Alright, alright." Lin Xin waved his hand to disperse the evil aura brought by the beetle-like creatures, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to another monster that had been waiting for a long ti.
Star Demon.
The ultimate weapon of Green Lake Mountain.
One of the strongest weapons of the Fifth Rank, a top weapon used by Green Lake Mountain to conquer countless worlds.
It was a twisted humanoid, about the sa height as Lin Xin.
Only, it was more robust, its skin pitch black, covered with nurous cracks,
Through the cracks, there flowed streams of purple-black energy, each thread sparkling with specks of blue starlight.
"Respected master." The Star Demon ca to a stop five ters away from Lin Xin and bowed.
Where it walked, the ground also was left with purple sparkling footprints.
A strong sense of threat surged into Lin Xin’s heart.
"Star Demon... even if one obtains their Taoist Seed, without a high enough rank Burning Furnace, without enough resources, a regular person couldn’t craft this weapon. Now, it seems, it is indeed formidable!!"
To create this Star Demon, he had spent a total of over ten thousand contribution points, and because he had lacked the points, he even borrowed money from his senior brother, Oro, to make up the amount.
This was the aura of a Fifth Rank Perfection, only a fine line away from his own.
This strongest weapon was essentially a Fifth Rank Perfection Human Immortal!
"Our ability as Star Demons is to control and manipulate Star Force for large scale destruction of adversaries. It also possesses uniqueness." Clearly, he also heard the words previously spoken by the true summoner, Lin Yi.
The Star Demon spoke respectfully.
"Moreover, we also have fatal weaknesses. We cannot compare to a Fifth Rank Human Immortal at Perfection."
"What weaknesses?"
Lin Xin asked with a grave voice.
The Star Demon answered calmly.
"We cannot take a step outside your territory. We can only serve as guardians, protecting this land. Moreover, our lifespan is only fifty years. If we need to leave, then we must reach the conditions of a Seventh Rank Burning Furnace."
These two weaknesses were indeed severe.
Lin Xin imdiately frowned.
A life span of only fifty years and unable to leave the territory, compared to the expense of tens of thousands of points, indeed affected the cost-effectiveness.
And a Seventh Rank Burning Furnace—that price....
However...
His brow relaxed.
"Co closer."
The Star Demon, intelligent as any human, walked over with a hint of confusion.
Lin Xin placed his hand upon it.
"Cry halt if you can’t bear it."
The Star Demon hadn’t yet reacted before it felt a white light spreading over its entire body.
Augh!
It roared, overwheld by intense pain that flooded its mind, drowning its reason.
In the white light, the Star Demon’s body twisted violently, its cracks glowing red instead of the previous purple-black luminescence.
Ti slowly passed.
Soon a thousand points of average Attributes were transferred, then two thousand points....
Three thousand points.
Four thousand points....
Five thousand points....
Ten thousand points....
The Star Demon’s body had no significant changes, but its size was actually getting smaller, even shorter than Lin Xin now.
Twelve thousand points!
Finally, Lin Xin felt the transfer of Attributes had reached its limit.
The white light faded, revealing the present state of the Star Demon.
It had completely transford into the size of a teenager, exceptionally small.
Its skin was still pitch black, filled with red luminescent cracks, showing no substantial change.
"Master...." the Star Demon looked up and spoke in a low voice. "My power has increased significantly, it’s just that I do not know why, but there are many things stuck in the Void obstructing , preventing from advancing further."
"This is the restriction of the soul, now first tell , to what extent has your power increased." Lin Xin withdrew his hand, curious.
The Star Demon was originally a top tier Fifth Rank weapon, now coupled with his own attribute enhancent, it was uncertain what level it could reach.
"I originally had two Innate Divine Abilities." The Star Demon respectfully answered. "One is the Star Force Distortion Field, capable of distorting the surrounding territory’s space for a short period, turning it into a spatial maze, unreachable by attacks.
The other, is the Heart of Extre Cold, able to harness Star Force, gather it into a Crystal Core, and unleash a massive explosion.
Now, both these Divine Abilities have been greatly enhanced."
"How powerful?"
Lin Xin asked again.
"Now my Star Force Distortion Field can permanently pull the territory into a generated space maze, allowing it to exist continuously.
The power of the Heart of Extre Cold has also increased, capable of blasting open the third layer of heaven."
Lin Xin’s heart grew apprehensive.
He himself had tried using full force to tear open the space, using almost half of his power, he could easily tear open the space to enter the second heaven, but to break the spatial structure of the second heaven and step into the third, that was beyond his abilities.
Breaking into the third heaven— this was almost the domain of the Sixth Rank.
In that case, perhaps he could use this move of the Star Demon as a trump card.
A thought flashed through his mind.
At this point, the killing power of the Taoist arms had finally surpassed its own entity.
Lin Xin’s mind slightly relaxed, now he should have the power to protect himself.
"Once the territory has stabilized from its expansion, directly pull the entire territory into the space maze, alright?" he instructed.
"Of course."
Star Demon said easily.
At this mont, Star Demon’s figure was petite, yet despite appearing smaller than when it first erged, there was an even more overwhelming sense of authority.
Since Star Demon was unique and could not create a second one, Lin Xin began to focus resources on producing Snow Monsters.
As a Fourth Rank military unit, the Snow Monster could evolve once, becoming a Mutated Snow Monster, greatly increasing the power of its blizzards.
Lin Xin initially estimated that the power of the Mutated Snow Monster’s blizzard had reached the Fifth Rank standard.
In other words, by continuously producing Snow Monsters, each one that erged was equivalent to having an additional Fifth Rank attack-type Spell Practitioner.
Only the cost was sowhat high.
A single Snow Monster cost thousands of Contribution Points.
Lin Xin pondered how he might earn so Contribution Points to spend.
About a month later, the expansion spell for the Wasteland territory finally ceased.
With the area of the entire Wasteland now more than double its original size, Lin Xin initially began planting forests centered around Flower Demons in the territory, also utilizing Snow Monsters’ ability to manipulate ice and snow to set up Snow Mountain rivers, and leveraging Flower Demons’ ability to control plant growth to foster grassland terrains.
Soon, the entire Wasteland territory gradually began to improve, forming a small self-sustaining ecological circle.
Under the influence of a giant goddess statue over three hundred ters tall, the bloody haze throughout the territory was also rapidly being purified and disappearing.
Lin Xin controlled the dwarfs to construct a small cluster of houses where outsiders could reside.
With rivers and vegetation, he purchased so ecologically viable creatures from the Tower of Being, a whole system of insects, animals, and plants, and carefully arranged them on the Wasteland.
With Flower Demons overseeing them, their ability to manipulate plant growth, although unusable in actual combat, was a major weapon in influencing ecology.
Soon Lin Xin had ford a complete ecological circle, within which winds, clouds, rainfall, and circulation faintly appeared.
He also breathed a long sigh of relief.
He began preparing for the territory’s entry into the space maze.
*****************
"Are you ready?"
Lin Xin asked outside the Star Demon Forest.
Just like the true na summoner Lin Yi, Lin Xin couldn’t be bothered with naming.
It was unexpected, so he straightforwardly nad Star Demon as Lin Wai.
"Everything is prepared."
Star Demon stood in the midst of the entire Wasteland, within a small Taoist Palace courtyard, surrounded by rings of red flowing light.
"Then let’s begin."
Lin Xin stood at a distance, quietly watching.
Star Demon Lin Wai nodded slowly, his arms slowly raising towards the sky.
"The world grovels under the stars...!"
He chanted aloud.
Hiss!!
A searing Purple Light burst forth from Star Demon, piercing the Protective Shield and shooting into the Void in the blink of an eye.
Bang!!
The Purple Light exploded violently, turning into countless purple dots. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions of light dots began to rotate rapidly around the Wasteland.
The scene was extrely spectacular.
It was as if a purple ring had encircled the Wasteland in an instant.
"Open!!"
Star Demon suddenly brought his arms together.
Instantly, the millions of purple light dots encircling the Wasteland burst simultaneously, transforming into an invisible force that saturated the surrounding space.
Layer upon layer of maze-like distortions began to appear around the Wasteland, forming a structure similar to a Formation.
Under Star Demon’s powerful control, the Wasteland gradually beca elusive and increasingly transparent.
Half an hour later, the entire Wasteland completely vanished from space, without a trace of its previous existence.
In the courtyard, Lin Xin distinctly felt the complex forces of the surrounding Void dissolve substantially.
"It’s done, Master."
Star Demon retracted his hands, his expression clearly showing fatigue.
"With the Formation added, unless a Sixth Rank powerhouse takes a close look, they would not be able to detect that a territory is hidden here," it said with a smile.
"Good work; go rest," Lin Xin nodded, satisfied.
Although he was not sure how useful this twisted space maze would be, having it was certainly better than not.
The invading enemies, upon breaking into the space maze, would also face dozens of layers of Fifth Rank Protective Arrays, as well as the ten defensive towers on the Wasteland.
After being weakened layer by layer, the number that would actually reach the Wasteland itself would be greatly reduced.
By then, the deploynt of the Taoist arms to handle them would also be twice as effective.
Lin Xin soared up, making a final arrangent of his own Wasteland territory.
All Taoist buildings had been moved together, surrounded around the central Taoist Palace, forming a circular Formation. Around it, Lin Xin had also arranged small Formations to protect these important buildings, while several Tree Demons camouflaged as giant trees guarded them.
Outside, the forest of the previously constructed ecological circle ford a ring of green.
Beyond that were grasslands, rivers, small Snow Mountains, and other complex terrains; among them, the habitable for mortals were constructed on the grasslands into a small cluster of buildings.
Even further out was a barrier ford by the various Formations, the inner layer covered by Lin Xin with a Formation mbrane disguised as blue sky and white clouds, making it seem like an extension of the ground and sky. But in reality, anyone trying to walk out would be blocked by the Formation.
The entire Wasteland had expanded to the scale of a small city in the Mortal Realm, with the buildings on the grasslands being tall skyscrapers. Each building had over a dozen floors, roughly able to accommodate two to three hundred people for living and daily life.
