Qin Feng’s gaze swept past the monsters with glinting crimson eyes, not lingering for a moment, as if they were merely specks of dust floating in the Void.

The other Lord Players were the same; no one paid these creatures any mind.

Because with the aid of the innate "Observation" ability that all Lord Players possessed, everyone could see clearly that these crimson-eyed Void Creatures were completely non-threatening.

Their status was akin to that of docile herbivores in the Lord World. They lacked even the most basic aggression, surviving solely by feeding on the faint, ambient energy of the Void Realm.

Then, once Qin Feng’s vanguard had advanced ten thousand meters into the Void Realm, the "Kings of Territory," who had long been on standby, immediately stepped through the Void Gate.

As soon as the main army landed, they quickly gave the order for their Divine Chosen Villagers—who were laden with all sorts of building materials—to begin constructing defenses in an orderly fashion near the massive Void Gate in the Void Realm.

Although they lacked the Attribute bonus from a Lord’s Hall, making these fortifications considerably weaker than usual, their sturdiness and defensive capabilities were still far superior to any temporary structures that "Kings of War" or "Kings of Tactics" could erect.

What was more, many "Kings of Territory" possessed their own unique construction Talents.

With these varied and unusual Lord Talents, they could build advanced fortifications with functions far beyond those of conventional structures.

These included "Thunder Towers" capable of unleashing chain lightning, "Frozen Towers" that could freeze enemies in place, and "Flame Walls" wreathed in intense heat to keep foes at bay, among many others.

Various defensive structures with unique Attributes gradually took shape in the villagers’ hands, quickly forming a defensive line in the Void Realm that was both intimidating and practical.

"Lord Tingfeng!"

At the call, Qin Feng turned to see Oreo hurrying toward him. His face was etched with urgency, yet his report was perfectly composed.

"Our initial defensive line has been established!"

"But more powerful structures, like advanced defensive towers and high walls, will take more time to complete."

"Should we hold our position here and wait for all the fortifications to be finished?"

"Or should we push on now, sending the main force to scout ahead and prioritize finding the Void Creatures’ nest?"

Qin Feng was familiar with Oreo. The Lord Player was a frequent presence in the chat channels and, thanks to his vast knowledge and friendly demeanor, had earned a great deal of respect among the players. He had slowly become a junior commander of sorts, capable of directing others.

For this counter-invasion of the Void Realm, Oreo had volunteered to take on the heavy responsibility of coordinating all the Kings of Territory, managing the defensive setup and rearguard actions. He was exceptionally reliable.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Feng made his decision and replied with conviction:

"We attack now."

His eyes scanned the troops standing ready by his side, his voice brimming with confidence.

"I have complete faith in the strength of my Divine Chosen Army."

As he finished speaking, Qin Feng raised his hand. In an instant, the Royal Dragon Cavalry unit within the Holy Empire’s grand army sprang into action. The Winged Dragons beneath the Knights unfurled their massive wings, rising from the ranks with a roar of wind.

They formed neat echelons, like a squadron of bombers imbued with the force of a thunderstorm, and charged straight into the dark, swirling mist ahead, instantly tearing several breaches in it.

Just as the Royal Dragon Cavalry vanished into the mist, the Holy Empire’s Ancient Giant Dragons followed. Their colossal bodies unfurled in the Void, stirring up deep, guttural air currents.

However, their flying speed was noticeably slower than the Royal Dragon Cavalry’s, and they lacked the "Divine Gift - Passive Evasion" ability that could mitigate a great deal of risk.

Qin Feng had already accounted for this and had never intended for them to be on the front lines. Instead, he had them follow closely behind the Royal Dragon Cavalry as a crucial reserve support force.

Then, if the Royal Dragon Cavalry encountered an enemy they couldn’t overcome, the Ancient Giant Dragons could immediately press forward and break the stalemate with their wide-area-of-effect Dragon Breath.

They would either help the Royal Dragon Cavalry annihilate the enemy, or use the overwhelming power of their Dragon Breath to create an opportunity for the vanguard to retreat safely.

As the vanguard, the reconnaissance range of the Royal Dragon Cavalry covered the entire Void Realm.

Their purpose wasn’t just to guide the main army.

Besides, Qin Feng had the "Village Guard Team" Talent and had also acquired the "Eye of All-Seeing" treasure he’d long sought after. With these two aces up his sleeve, he could remotely monitor the Royal Dragon Cavalry’s movements in real time, providing command and support whenever needed. This ensured that these precious Divine Gift Soldier Types wouldn’t be needlessly sacrificed in the Void Realm.

"Arthas."

Qin Feng’s steady voice rang out as his gaze fell upon the Necromancer Champion at his side.

"You will lead the Undead Legion and clear the path ahead."

Arthas said nothing in response, merely offering a slow nod.

The next second, he raised his Magic Staff. The Undead Energy swirling around him instantly surged outward, and the waiting Undead Army moved as one.

The Black Knights, evolved to Extraordinary Two Stars, held their lances at the ready, their armor glinting with a cold, dark light.

The Slaughter Warriors marched in lockstep, their bodies wreathed in a chilling, murderous aura.

Skeleton Mages hovered in midair, spectral blue Magic light coalescing in their bony claws.

Skeleton Swordsmen clutched their Bone Blades, their empty eye sockets radiating a sharp intent.

Countless Undead Creatures formed a vast and mighty procession, pushing deep into the Void Realm and carving a path for the Holy Empire’s army and the Divine Chosen Legions of the other Lord Players.

Before long, the vanguard of the Undead Legion came face-to-face with the native life-forms of the Void Realm.

Every one of the Void Creatures they faced had reached Extraordinary Two Stars. They were also wreathed in a unique buff from the Void environment, along with an Extra Life Value bonus, making them far more powerful than their counterparts of the same tier in the Lord World.

To an ordinary Lord Player, even the weakest of these Void Creatures would be considered a BOSS-level threat, difficult to kill in a single blow—an opponent they could not hope to face lightly.

But to Qin Feng’s "Support Team,"

these were foes that could be killed in one hit.

Conversely,

thanks to stacked Life Value Bonuses and Damage Reduction Effects, Qin Feng’s Undead Army—though positioned as consumable "cannon fodder" within the Holy Empire’s military—were seen as bona fide high-health monsters in the eyes of these Void Creatures.

No matter how the creatures attacked, the Undead Army’s Blood Volume only decreased steadily. They simply tanked the onslaught with their incredibly high damage mitigation, showing no signs of breaking.

Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, with the Undead Legion holding only a slight advantage, Qin Feng arrived, riding his Winged Dragon Beast.

"Boiling!"

"Fear!"

"Arrow of Aksha!"

"Amber Spear!"

"Thorn Entanglement!"

"Void Magic Ball!"

"Flowing Fire Cloak!"

"Arrow Rain!"

"Triple Shot!"

"Normal Shot!"

"Kunos’ Arrow!"

The moment he appeared above the battlefield, the tide turned instantly. The Void Creatures, who had been barely holding their own, were suddenly overwhelmed. The tense stalemate became a one-sided massacre.

This was especially true when Qin Feng finally unleashed the Ranger’s full set of skills and Basic Attacks. The assault erupted in a flash. Countless attacks of equal power materialized at once, as dense as a sudden downpour, covering the battlefield like a missile barrage.

Amid a cacophony of piercing shrieks and crackling energy, the Void Creatures on the field were utterly submerged by the dense offensive. Without even a chance to struggle, they were all obliterated, not even leaving behind fragments of their bodies.

"Holy shit..."

"Damn..."

"It looks like Lord Tingfeng’s Split Arrow ability got even stronger..."
