Starting from the fifteenth station, each map becomes very large, and the monsters in it are not all that powerful.
Just like in the normal world, there are strong and weak monsters.
This seven or eight meter tall monster in front of him would be considered a small BOSS in the Death Valley before, but on this level it was just an average cannon fodder. Lin Xiao clenched his fist and punched out. With a loud bang, the powerful force compressed the air to form a fist force that blasted the target into pieces, with broken flesh scattered all over the ground.
Without even looking at the wriggling pieces of flesh on the ground, he rushed out dozens of meters and disappeared.
Soon he appeared at the edge of the plateau. A huge canyon extended downwards, with a dilapidated railway track in the middle extending to the end below.
The radiation intensity here rises rapidly, and is two or three times stronger than that at the station.
Squinting slightly and looking at the distance on the right, I vaguely saw a huge moving shadow under the thick radiation cloud.
He quickly looked to the left and saw a huge creature with a wingspan of several hundred meters flying through the air. Its wings left long trails of radiant green light as they passed by. The intensity of radiation in the void was terrifying.
"This is a bit outrageous."
If you are below level 4, you can only enter this world as an ordinary person, and you can barely enter if you are above level 4.
"I don't know how many world bosses there are on this map, whether they have been refreshed, or whether they have been snatched away by strong people from other races."
In the journey of evolution, only maps marked with three stars or above have world bosses. Generally, killing them will give you massive evolution rewards and high-level equipment. For example, the Oblivion Plateau is a very high-level map. Even if you kill the world boss in it, you will get extremely high evolution rewards. It is a must-grab.
But
"Let's first find the gathering place of human evolutionists on this map."
Lin Xiao scratched his head and continued forward along the original trace of the broken railway tracks.
Annihilation Highlands is a neutral map. According to the information he has learned over the years, it is located at the junction of more than a dozen evolver civilizations. It is an absolute transportation hub and a battleground. Any civilization that wants to attack the main city of another civilization must transit through this map.
A large number of powerful evolvers from different races are flooding this map, and most of them have established gathering places for evolvers of their own race on this map.
Lin Xiao first looked for a gathering place. In addition to finding a safe zone and a starting point, his main purpose was to ask where to go next.
Logically speaking, this level is the training area for fifth-level evolvers, and occasionally there are sixth-level ones. Lin Xiao had seen a sixth-level evolver in the previous map before, but he was flying through the air on his mount, and he had a lot of questions that he didn't ask.
When one's strength reaches the sixth level, evolution becomes increasingly difficult. He evolved to the sixth level half a year ago, and spent another half a year only improving by 4%.
This speed is definitely not enough. According to the calculation that a normal sixth-order evolver is equivalent to a true god, there must be seventh, eighth, and even ninth orders behind him.
Annihilation Highlands is the last stop of the train. There are no deeper maps behind it, and this map is definitely not enough to support their evolution to level seven or even higher. There must be new evolutionary maps, and those high-level evolvers who disappeared must have gone to those high-level maps.
According to Lin Xiao's communication with the evolvers he occasionally met in recent years, he knew that there was a gathering place for humans in the Annihilation Highlands. All the evolvers in the human camp who had not transcended the ordinary map were there, and someone there knew how to leave here and enter a higher-level world.
"boom!"
A rapidly rotating pure steel shell with a sharp spiral drill-like head flew in front of Lin Xiao in an instant. The huge shell was thicker than his body. The powerful kinetic energy tore through the air, forming circles of faint air ripples behind it.
However, he didn't even look at the shell in front of him. The black hole shield that had been activated early absorbed the powerful kinetic energy of the shell. The shell bounced off and flew to the side, and also bounced off the densely packed sharp steel bullets.
He curiously observed the guards in the shabby outpost ahead. They were human, but mutated by the strong radiation. The exposed parts of their bodies had more or less some mutations, such as extra bones, keratin, deformed arms, extra organs, etc.
The reason they did not fight back was that the mark on the flag hanging on the outpost was the mark of a human gathering place, and these indigenous people were considered their own people.
He then identified himself, and soon the outpost ceased fire and was allowed to pass.
After riding in a shabby jeep for dozens of kilometers, he arrived in front of a fortress built between the mountains. A figure jumped down from a huge wall that was nearly a hundred meters high and landed steadily in front of him, saying loudly:
"I'm Reis, the new receptionist at the Sanctuary Fortress. Welcome!"
"Lin Xiao, just arrived at Annihilation Highlands."
"Let's go into the city and talk."
Reis waved towards the city wall, and a hanging basket was lowered from the castle.
"Brother, are you here just to take a look, or are you going to stay here for a long time?"
After saying that, there was no response. Reis turned back curiously and saw Lin Xiao's figure slowly fade away like a phantom. He turned his head in surprise and saw that he had appeared on the city wall.
"Wow, what kind of trick is this?"
After riding in a hanging basket up to the hundred-meter-high fortress wall, he curiously asked Lin Xiao, who was looking at the mechanical punk-style buildings in the fortress:
"Teleport?"
He nodded:
"I guess so."
Pointing to a huge spire in the fortress that was several hundred meters high and wrapped in surging lightning energy, he asked:
"What it is?"
Reiss took a look and said with pride:
"The Lightning Spire can gather lightning energy within a radius of 100 miles and has the ability to kill the world boss."
"very powerful!"
"of course."
The two chatted as they entered the fortress. Most of the time, he asked questions and Reis answered them. However, when he asked how to enter a higher-level map, Reis was stunned and asked curiously:
"You want to enter a more difficult map? You are at level six now?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
Lei Si shook his head and said,
"If I were you, I would not choose to enter the advanced map."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. It's already the late stage of this evolution journey. We don't have much time left. If we stay here, we will be fine even if this evolution journey ends. But if you want to continue, once you enter the advanced map, you will enter the most brutal elimination stage. Once the final winner is decided, most of the losers will become sacrifices for the winner."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao frowned, and immediately realized that the person in that world had fooled him.
This round of evolution is about to end, but he still wanted to trick me into coming in. He deserves to be punished.
But he couldn't bother him now, and he didn't have time to bother anyone. He had to figure out the situation first, so he asked,
"How do you know that this is the late stage of this evolutionary journey? Do you know what stage you have reached?"
Leis smiled and said:
"I know it's very simple, because several experts from my original team have entered, and we are still in contact, so of course I know."
After a pause, he continued,
"As for the stage, although it is not yet the final decisive stage, it will be soon, because more than one eighth-level evolver has been born. The ninth level is equivalent to the ancestor or the great divine power. This is the last stage of the evolutionary journey."
There was no need for Lin Xiao to ask any more questions as he knew it clearly. Since the ninth level was the great master, the eighth level was the last stop in the evolutionary journey, which was also the decisive stop.
There are already quite a few eighth-level evolvers, and the final battle has probably already begun. If he goes in, he will be seeking his death.
If it were other evolvers, most of them would stop and end their evolutionary journey.
But Lin Xiao couldn't do that, he had his reasons for going.
As his strength continued to grow and he gradually mastered more powerful laws of time, he could clearly sense the other part of the world deep within that had laws of time that resonated with his own.
To put it bluntly, in the depths of the Chaos Realm, there is also a part of the origin of the law of time, and he must seize it.
The outcome of the evolutionary journey is not important, the origin of the law of time must be obtained.
According to the theory, any life form has only one chance to participate in the journey of evolution. If you fail to get it this time, you will never have another chance in the future.
So he has a reason to move on to the next stage.
Of course, he couldn't tell this reason to others, he could only say that he still wanted to give it a try.
After hearing this, Reis was stunned for a long time, and looked at him strangely, as if he was a fool, but he didn't say anything. He just said to him:
"You must go, I definitely can't stop you. I just want to tell you that once you go in, there will be no chance to regret. According to the current situation, you will definitely die."
Lin Xiao nodded seriously:
"I know, but I'm going anyway."
"All right!"
Leisi sighed and said,
"Since you are determined to die, I will not stop you. It is very simple to enter the advanced map. You need to reach level 6 and kill a world boss at random in Oblivion Highlands. Remember, it must be a single kill. After that, a world pass will be revealed. Use the world pass to enter the next level."
"By the way, one pass has five quotas, and you can bring four teammates in with you."
"Give me a map with the location of the world boss marked on it."
"You'll have to wait a month."
Leis waved his hand and said,
"The previous world boss was killed a long time ago, and it will take about a month for it to refresh."
"Then I'll wait a month."
"Hehe, I'll take you to enjoy yourself for this month, and then maybe you won't think of committing suicide anymore."
"Maybe!"
The next day, in a private castle inside the fortress, Lin Xiao got up from the super-large bed in the room of over a hundred square meters. As a high-level evolver, level six was already the strongest tier, and he was given extremely high status and treatment as soon as he came in. He had everything he wanted. These high-level evolvers who had no hope of reaching their destination and did not want to enter a higher world had reached the extreme in their pursuit of enjoyment.
Unfortunately, these are not what Lin Xiao needs, but of course he will not reject them.
I got up, packed up, and wrote a letter to Zhuo Jing through the facilities in the fortress.
The letter told her about the evolutionary journey and asked her choice, whether to stay here or go in with him.
Although this evolutionary journey has reached a very late stage and eighth-level evolvers have appeared, it stands to reason that a sixth-level evolver like him has no chance at all and would be dead if he went in.
But he is not ordinary. His strength is not just at the sixth level. He also has the power that is sealed in this incarnation.
This incarnation originally possessed strength that was no less than that of a powerful divine power, and it has gradually recovered a little over the years. The higher the level of evolution, the faster it recovers. Once it enters a higher map and evolves again, it is estimated that it will be fully recovered. By then, even if it is only the seventh level of evolution plus all the power of the incarnation and the law of time, it may be able to compete with those eighth-level evolutionists.
The most important thing is that his other incarnation of the ancient golden tree is still alive. He can sense that it is still alive. When the time comes, he will combine the power of the two incarnations into one, and he may be able to make it to the end.
Ten days later, he received a reply from Zhuo Jing, which only had two words:
"wait for me."
Lin Xiao saw her in less than five days. She was wearing tight leather armor that highlighted her slender figure. Her long hair that was in the way had been cut off and replaced with short hair. She looked more capable and energetic, with both wildness and beauty, like a beautiful female leopard.
Reaching out and rubbing her little head, Lin Xiao said with a smile:
"Before I leave, let me ask you again, do you want to come with me?"
"Let me make this clear first. This is the final stage of your evolution journey. You basically have no hope. It will be very dangerous if you come with me. Otherwise, stay here."
She smiled, reached out and held his big hand, and said,
"Wherever you go, I will go with you."
"Okay, wait a few more days."
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, pulled his big thing out of her body, put on his clothes and was about to take a shower. He turned around and saw that she had woken up and was lying sideways, stretching out her arms towards him.
He walked over to her, picked her up, carried her across his waist and went into the bathroom. After a while, he heard a noise that was not suitable for children.
After more than two hours, I finished showering, had breakfast, and set off again fully armed.
It's still early before the World Boss refreshes, but time cannot be wasted. He has to help her become stronger during the last period of time.
At this time, Zhuo Jing's evolution degree is 85.22% of the fifth level, which seems not much away from his sixth level, but the actual gap is very large, both in terms of evolution degree and strength.
The further you progress, not only does the required evolutionary energy increase, but the key is that there are not so many high-level monsters for them to spawn, so the growth becomes slower as you progress.
Fortunately, it is now in the late stage, and those who remain have no motivation to continue growing, and rarely go out to train. There are still a lot of powerful monsters in the secluded places of Annihilation Highlands, among which there are many super monsters whose strength is comparable to that of World Boss but they do not have the title of World Boss.
With the help of the map obtained from the human fortress, Lin Xiao took Zhuo Jing straight to the nests of these powerful monsters, specifically killing these powerful monsters that have lived for a long time to allow her to grow.
He no longer needs it. With his current strength, this amount of time will only increase it by one or two percentage points at most, and there will be no qualitative change.
In most cases, Zhuo Jing dealt with these monsters by herself, while he just stood by and watched. She was able to deal with most of the monsters.
After evolving to the fifth stage, her talent is even stronger. Now she not only possesses LV7 time travel, but also LV4 time locking and LV6 time acceleration. She is equivalent to a shrunken version of him. With her powerful time talent and the opportunities gained from years of experience, her strength is definitely among the best in the same stage. She is very powerful and most sixth-stage evolvers who have just evolved may not be her opponents.
As time passed, her strength continued to grow. It took her a full month and a half, and the world boss had been refreshed for a month before she finally evolved to the sixth level.
Fortunately, not many people are interested in taking risks to kill the World Boss now. If it were in the past, there would be a large number of teams waiting before the World Boss spawns, and after a month, there would probably be nothing left.
Finally, he went back to the human fortress and found Reis to ask some questions. Lin Xiao was ready to take Zhuo Jing to bid farewell to Reis and other evolvers in the city and set off to kill the world boss.
