Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

556 The Crystal Canopy
Astonished, Ye Qiu exclaimed, “Such a powerful defensive supreme treasure. It can envelop the entire Huge Boulder City. Moreover, its defensive power is rather extraordinary. What grade is this?”

A treasure that could envelop the entire Huge Boulder City was definitely not ordinary. It would at least be a divine grade treasure.

Li Xiang and Alice smiled upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words. Even Zhao Yun to the side revealed a strange look.

They wondered how much more shocked Ye Qiu would be if he found out that the Starlight Canopy in the Kingdom of Dawn could enclose an area of 150 million square kilometers. It was a Holy Light grade treasure.

Nevertheless, Li Xiang also agreed that this Crystal Canopy was quite good. Its current grade was low; however, if it could be upgraded, it would surely become a national supreme treasure as well.

Unfortunately, upgrading it would be a difficult task.

The reason why the Starlight Canopy could reach the Holy Light grade was that it was supported by the Starlight Shrine.

The Crystal Canopy had formidable defensive power. It even possessed the ability to reflect damage back to potential intruders. The mutated bugs in the sky would have a hard time trying to break through it.

In Li Xiang’s opinion, the way to break through the defense of the canopy was to focus on one point. The intruders had to use an attack a few times or even tens of times more powerful than the canopy’s defensive power to crush it instantly. Only then did they stand a chance to penetrate through the canopy.

“The foreign race indeed has many treasures! These treasures are beneficial in defending the city on a day-to-day basis. However, I wonder how long this Crystal Canopy can last with such a huge swarm of Bug race invading the city.”

After all, no matter how powerful a defense was, there was always a limit.

It was not strange for the foreign race to have many treasures. However, against such a terrifying tribe like the Bug race, it was difficult to say how long the canopy could stand.

Of course, the longer Huge Boulder City lasted, the better it was for them. The Human race could also observe the abilities and strengths of both parties during the process.

It was difficult to say whether the Human Race themselves would end up the victors in the end, but at least they could watch from the sidelines as two superpowers fought.

The wide and vast Heavenly River was nothing in the eyes of the Bug race. They glided past the river surface with ease.

The eyes of a poisonous bee glistened with a flash of Bloodthirst. It swung its tail, and its toxic stinger shot like an arrow. It tore apart space, and as it charged forward, it enlarged to the size of an arrow. It was sharper than an arrow. Its piercing tip shone with a dark purple light. It was apparent that the tip contained a terrifying poison.

The poisonous stinger traveled without a sound. Its speed was akin to lightning. One could not even detect its afterimage.

Ding.

A crisp collision sound rang as the poisonous stinger dropped on the Crystal Canopy. The canopy seemed to be on the verge of being penetrated through.

Immediately, light strands propagated outwards on the canopy like waves rippling on the water. The force of the poisonous stringer was instantly negated.

After that, the lights that had rippled outwards gathered back again. A layer of white light wrapped around the poisonous stinger. Driven by an opposing force, it flew back from where it came.

Swoosh!

The bee that shot out its stinger was immediately penetrated. Before it even landed on the ground, it was reduced to a puddle of toxic sludge.

“The Crystal Canopy is incredible! This poison is so domineering!”

“These poisonous bees are indeed terrifying. If we encounter them, it will prove difficult to defend against them. We will surely perish if we are stung!”

Alice thoughtfully said, “Based on the length of these stingers, it seems that they can be made into bolts and arrows. They will definitely be good materials in addition to their poison. If we use other materials to add to their effectiveness and forge them using special methods, we should be able to create more powerful bolts and arrows.”

Right now, the Bug race was swarming towards them in full force.

Whoosh…

The poisonous bees at the very front immediately began to unleash their attacks. Stingers rained down like lightning bolts. The jet-black stingers were as dense as rain. The entire canopy was instantly showered with poisonous stingers.

Each stinger was as powerful as an attack from a transcendent cultivator and could penetrate most battle armor.

However, the defense of the Crystal Canopy was awe-inspiring. All the attacks were blocked. The Bug race even suffered severe losses due to the reflected attacks.

Although the Crystal Canopy could reflect attacks, it could not reflect all of them. It could only reflect a part of them.

Even so, it was enough to cause massive damage to the Bug race.

Dense stingers rained down on the canopy, triggering lots of ripples. The ripples quickly dissipated the momentum of the attacks.

The ripples interacted with each other and negated the forces of the attacks. They absorbed and consumed everything that came in contact with the canopy.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

The sound of stingers hitting the canopy was akin to that of a downpour. The stingers left behind countless dents on the canopy, but the latter quickly returned to its original state.

The poisonous stingers, reflected by the canopy, killed many bugs, turning them into toxic sludge that dropped to the ground. The attacks that were not reflected fell off the canopy and corroded the surrounding land.

As such, a terrifying scene took place. The land surrounding the border of the Crystal Canopy turned pitch-black, totally devoid of life. Even the areas which used to be surrounded by vegetation became lifeless.

“Everyone, attack!”

“Kill all these damn bugs!”

After seeing that the bugs were blocked outside of the Crystal Canopy, the foreign race who stood on the city wall stopped panicking. They first revealed looks of joy. Then they turned ruthless. They began launching their counterattacks.

They couldn’t fight the bugs up close. Fortunately, all of them owned at least one ranged weapon. Those without a weapon were equipped with magic and all kinds of innate superpowers.

However, the most common counterattacks were still arrows.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

In an instant, a rain of arrows shot up into the sky toward the outside.

There were so many bugs that there was no need to aim properly. Even a blind person could easily hit something as long as they pointed in the right direction. They could even penetrate several bugs at a time.

There were armor-piercing arrows, flaming arrows, frost arrows, and explosive arrows fired.

The armor-piercing arrows could each penetrate quite a several bugs at a time. The flaming arrows could incinerate a large number as well. Even if the bugs did not immediately perish, they would still scream in pain and then be burnt to ashes in the end. The frost arrows could freeze the bugs in ice. They would fall to the ground and immediately shatter into pieces.

As for the explosive arrows, they could clear a small area immediately once they exploded.

In the span of a breath, many bugs were quickly killed off.

The destructive power of the simplified versions of the Divine Crossbow, combined with the crossbow bolts, was even more explosive.

This was especially so when tens of thousands of Divine Crossbows were fired in salvos. Their destructive power was practically jaw-dropping.

A single salvo could already clear an ample space. Killing bugs was like cutting grass. The corpses of the bugs fell to the ground like rain.

“These Divine Crossbows are impressive. They can unleash such powerful destructive power. The Human race should never belittle the foreign race. Any bugs below Gold Transcendents level do not stand a chance against these arrows.”
