Looking at the two items in his hand, Lin You was delighted.

Especially the Origin Treasure Pearl.

This was the first time he had seen it, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

Its appearance was very similar to the Faith Treasure Pearl.

Only the Faith Treasure Pearl symbolized Power with its red color, while the Origin Treasure Pearl symbolized soul with its ghostly blue color.

Even though it was just a low-level one. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But the 100-meter range was equivalent to killing 10 Tier Eight Lord Demons.

This was quite a significant boost.

Without thinking too much, he directly picked up the treasure pearl.

[Would you like to use "Origin Treasure Pearl (Low-level) x2"?]

"Yes!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Origin Treasure Pearl in his hand turned into a streak of light, merging into Lin You’s body.

The Origin Interface also showed considerable changes.

[Origin: World Tree (Sapling)]

[Category: Plant Type]

[Level: Tier Eight (705/2000)]

[Range: 705 meters]

[Sacred Artifact Effect: 35%/18%]

[Talent Effect: Constitution +7%, Recovery Speed +7%]

[Ability: Soul Domain, Racial Talent (Aura), Summoning Space]

[Introduction: Formed from soul condensation, grows to a certain extent and can evolve into a realm, requires Power of Origin irrigation.]

[Note: Click here to expand talents from various categories]

Previously, during the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, his Origin Space had already increased to a 500-meter range by killing Lords and Leader Demons.

Now, by using these two Origin Treasure Pearls, he directly reached 705 meters.

The effects of the Territorial Sacred Artifact and Racial Talent were suddenly strengthened quite a bit.

Next.

Lin You took a deep breath.

Picked up the remaining secret treasure extraction artifact.

[Would you like to use "Species Secret Treasure (SSS)"?]

"Use."

Swish!

The light brightened, and the artifact in his hand began to change rapidly.

Eventually, it transformed into a delicate-looking purple flower.

[Species Secret Treasure: Fierce Poison Flower Bud]

[Treasure Type: Enhancement]

[Treasure Level: SSS-level]

[Treasure Effect: Poison attribute attack enhancement 4%, Every poison existing on an enemy stacks this state by one layer.]

[Introduction: Used to enhance species secret treasure, can be used within the species base, only enhances a single type of species.]

Poison attribute secret treasure?

Lin You paused slightly, casting a surprised look at the interface before him.

SSS-level species secret treasures typically add basic attributes and attack classes generally within 4%.

Special effects additions like self-detonation probability, attack range is a maximum of 40%.

This treasure, however, allows attack increase to be stacked.

Moreover, each type of poison also stacks a layer, without indicating a limit.

Doesn’t that mean he could infinitely stack poisons?

Lin You calculated a bit in his mind.

His current poison attribute attack comprises three poisons from Banshee Vine and one from Calamity Poison Mushroom.

Plus, the paralysis, confusion, blindness, and other miscellaneous poisons from Thousand-Change Poison Mushroom, he has at least seven or eight kinds of poisons.

If he applies all at once, wouldn’t that mean a boost equivalent to a Barbaric Roar?

This could be incredible.

Most importantly.

With increased poison attack, his Enchanting Beldam’s charm ability would also strengthen.

Previously, it could only charm high attribute enemies for a short while; the control duration would be extended.

Even if it increased from 0.5 seconds to 1 second, that would be a qualitative leap.

"Just right, the Banshee Vine hasn’t had a secret treasure yet."

Lin You pondered for a moment, then took the new secret treasure up to the species base, finding the platform for Banshee Vine.

[Would you like to place the "Fierce Poison Flower Bud" secret treasure into the "Vine" slot?]

"Yes."

With the voice sounding, the purple flower gradually floated onto the platform, successfully binding with the vine branch species.

At this point.

His main species finally got species boosts.

Only the Plant Dragon, Dandelion, Sunflower, and Sword Bamboo, those species in fewer numbers, were without enhancements.

Of course.

There’s also the Cannibal Flower’s self-detonation secret treasure and the Flower Spirit’s healing shield secret treasure, both still at S-level.

It would be ideal to replace them with SSS-level ones when there’s a chance later.

It’s truly a very time-consuming and painstaking process.

Looking at it this way.

Those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years do have a significant advantage in this respect.

They probably have long collected a full set of secret treasures, their strength unimaginable.

And the Power of Faith is the same.

They’ve been stuck at Tier Nine for so many years; their Power of Faith must be quite astounding.

The strength of the Power of Faith is directly tied to the Lord’s own strength.

Therefore, before ascending to Tier Nine, he should try to accumulate his own foundation as much as possible.

Just right, the news that the demon rampage ended has come back this afternoon, so tomorrow he can finally explore the deeper areas of the Main Demon Plane.

Thinking of this.

Lin You quickly finished his dinner, climbed the steps into the treehouse, and ended his busy day.

...

The next morning.

Lin You woke up early as usual.

However, today was different from other times.

As soon as he got up, a private message from Zong Lei suddenly appeared in his view.

"Brother Lin You, I heard that the Mechanical Empire in the Demon Plane has launched a major system event. A few Tier Eight Lords and I from the Duchy are planning to go have a look. If you’re interested, you can contact me directly there."

Mechanical Empire?

What is that?

Half-awake, Lin You was full of questions. He sent a message back to Zong Lei, only to be informed that the other party was not in the same area.

It seems he has already set off for the Demon Plane.

Could it be that the so-called "Mechanical Empire" is within the Demon Plane?

With questions in mind, Lin You quickly got up.

He quickly washed his face, explained things to Xue Changgui outside, and hurried back to his territory to teleport with his species to the Holy Sanctuary.

"Mechanical Empire event, looking for a reliable Tier Eight teammate, 4=1, ready to go."

"Any friends want to do the event together? My species can heal, tank, and fight. If needed, grab and go."

"Event grind squad, calling for Tier Eight with all A-level and above Secret Treasures for strong offense, preferably Demon Type."

"Angel Type professional support, looking for a powerful team."

As soon as he stood still, a wave of shouts reached his ears.

The entire Floating Islands were bustling with activity, with Lords coming and going everywhere.

Lin You was surprised to find that the normally rare Tier Eight Lords were everywhere, filling every corner of the platform.

Moreover, they were all talking about the Mechanical Empire and the system event.

He made a round on the platform and finally gathered some useful information.

It turns out.

The Mechanical Empire they mentioned is the next area in the Demon Plane, connecting to the Land of the Dead.

An area mainly inhabited by mechanical demons.

The regions within the Demon Plane are like huge concentric rings, advancing layer by layer, surrounding the depths of the plane.

He had already visited the three outermost areas: the Barbaric, Desert, and Land of the Dead.

It seems the more in-depth area is indeed mechanical.

However, for it to be called the Mechanical Empire by the Lords, this area must be something else, and he must be careful.

And judging by the hubbub.

A lot of Tier Eight Lords from other realms are likely gathering there, and chaos is inevitable.

"Let’s go, we should check it out too."

Lin You said to Lingxi beside him, and immediately headed toward the plane’s entrance.

Before long, he was swept into the Demon Plane with the crowd and was startled by the lively scene before him.

Because there were more people at the plane entrance than on the Floating Island!

Teams were ready, riding mounts out of the safe zone, with figures traversing both heaven and earth.

What kind of event could this be?

That could attract so many Tier Eight Lords, made Lin You quite curious.

Summoning the Demon Emperor Dragon, he swiftly followed the footsteps of those teams, flying deep into the plane.

Passing through the previous three areas along the way.

Finally, two hours later, he broke through the perpetual darkness of the Land of the Dead, arriving in an entirely new area.

"Is this... the Mechanical Empire?"

With just one look.

Lin You was stunned by the scene before him.

Because what appeared in front of him was indeed a genuine Mechanical Empire.

In every direction, steel structures rose up, while huge mechanical flying demons hovered in the air.

Below, mechanical beings of various forms roamed back and forth.

The perimeter of the area was constructed with a steel wall hundreds of meters high, extending to the ends of his vision.

Rows of turrets lined the walls.

It was as if a Mechanical City had been built in this area!

If he weren’t still riding the Demon Emperor Dragon and with Lingxi by his side.

Lin You would have thought he had traveled through time.

Traveled to a cyberpunk mechanical world.

And just as he entered this area, a series of notifications sounded in his mind.

[Attention all Lords. Due to an anomaly in the central control system of the Mechanical Empire, all mechanical demons are in riot, triggering the zone task "Mechanical Riot."]

[During the task, slaying mechanical demons can earn "Mechanical Cores," which can be turned into the central control system for various rare rewards.]

[The higher the demon level, the more Mechanical Cores you can obtain.]

[The central system is located at the heart of the Empire, which Lords need to find on their own.]

Indeed.

Just as Zong Lei said.

A major event task has occurred here.

Being able to exchange rewards by defeating demons, it’s no wonder so many people are attracted to it.

Just not sure exactly what rewards can be exchanged.

If there are various high-level Secret Treasures, Territorial Sacred Artifacts, or even Rare Artifacts, then fighting over monsters and a scramble is inevitable.

As for the mentioned central control system....

Thinking this, Lin You could not help but look toward the depths of the Mechanical Empire, where every few distances, there was a black tower.

Almost all the mechanical demons circled around there, just short of printing the words central control center on them.

Is there even a need to search...

Alright.

In any case, it’s best to go down and understand the situation first.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked toward the outside of the steel city walls below.

Many Lords had already entered the city with their species, clearing mechanical demons around the city walls.

The reason for not using the sky.

Is that there are simply too many large-scale mechanical demons in the sky.

Lin You didn’t dare take it lightly, finding a secluded spot for the Demon Emperor Dragon to slowly descend.

It was only then.

That he saw the scene outside the city walls clearly.

It turned out to be a factory filled with heaps of mechanical parts and junk, much of which was corroded beyond recognition.

The ground was further stained black by leaking oil.
