I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 481: One Man Suppresses a War

"Heavenly Fire Extinguishing World!" Wang Lan waved his hand grandly, and an array appeared in the sky. Instantly, countless meteorites, carrying scorched flames, burst forth from the array.

The power of Heavenly Fire Extinguishing World, now at its high platinum tier, was no longer comparable to its initial form. The power of Meteor Strike depended on two factors: the speed of the impact and its density.

This time, as Wang Lan unleashed Heavenly Fire Extinguishing World, the countless meteorites no longer fell freely as before but were sprayed out as if from a machine gun. Each meteorite that struck the ground caused a collapse of nearly ten meters.

The terrifying impact force generated powerful shockwaves, creating an apocalyptic blizzard-like scene before Duan Qingfeng and the others. Everyone who witnessed this stood petrified, their eyes wide as they stared at the surging ice and snow.

"Hades Bone Card!" Wang Lan hastily threw a Hades Bone Card toward Ice Cliff. In an instant, hundreds of Gates of the Underworld sealed off the entrance to the Ice Cliff canyon, forming a formidable wall.

BOOM!

Sealed within Ice Cliff, the Green Maple Pioneering Legion felt a deafening explosion in their ears. The impact, from just beyond the gate, was so terrifyingly forceful it temporarily deafened them.

"Earth Surge Lava!" Above the ground, a vast array with a diameter of nearly a kilometer spread out. Suddenly, lava, heated to over three thousand degrees, spewed forth from the array like a fountain. Even Star Martial Warriors at the Star Sea Stage could not withstand such temperatures for long.

The two arrays, like the Heaven and Earth Millstone, ground the endless stream of incoming exotic beasts into slag. In just a few minutes, thousands of exotic beasts were slain by this combined Star Martial Skill, including some at the Star Sea Stage.

Even with the expansive range and immense power of Wang Lan’s Heaven and Earth Millstone, a considerable portion of the exotic beasts pouring from the Chaos Mist still bypassed it, continuing their surge toward Ice Cliff.

"Heaven Rupturing Earth Splitting!" After fusing the Earth Attribute with Thunder Power, Wang Lan gained the Explosion Attribute. By combining Earth Attribute Star Martial Skills, he then developed this super S-grade Star Martial Skill. Within a certain range, every piece of land could potentially be a landmine; mere contact could trigger the Thunder Power within.

Almost instantly, a series of explosions, as dense as a string of firecrackers, erupted along the path of the advancing exotic beasts. For those densely packed exotic beasts, it was somewhat more bearable—they were merely blown into disarray. But for the fragile mage-type exotic beasts, it was a death sentence.

Moreover, the explosions at the front made the exotic beasts behind hesitate, abruptly halting their advance.

"Hell Swamp!" Seizing the opportunity, Wang Lan threw another super S-grade Star Martial Skill. Suddenly, a large area teeming with exotic beasts transformed into a swamp. The exotic beasts immediately began to flounder, sinking into the mire.

"Xinyu!"

"Ice Snow Thousand Miles!" Jiang Xinyu swiftly ascended above the swamp and unleashed her sole super S-grade Star Martial Skill onto it.

Instantly, the entire swamp visibly turned white. The struggling exotic beasts froze solid within the hard ice. However, this was not the end. The ice formed by Jiang Xinyu was not stable; within mere seconds, these exotic beasts would break free and become active once again.

"Heaven and Earth Millstone!" With a fierce wave of his hand, Wang Lan instantly moved the Heaven and Earth Millstone to the frozen swamp. In an instant, countless Soul Beads erupted like a volcano, creating a spectacle as splendid as an unparalleled firework display.

At least twenty thousand exotic beasts were trapped in the ice. In less than ten minutes, all of them were slaughtered by the Heaven and Earth Millstone. Such a grinding speed was something not even the Five Emperors could likely achieve.

Standing atop the Gate of The Underworld, Duan Qingfeng suddenly staggered, nearly falling off. The scene before him would likely leave an unforgettable shock that would last a lifetime.

Was this really the work of a human? A peak Galaxy Stage warrior slaughtering tens of thousands of exotic beasts within ten minutes?

Moreover, with such a dense throng of exotic beasts crowded together, Duan Qingfeng knew without even thinking. There had to be beasts of the Galaxy Stage and even the Star Sea Stage among them. Were the students from the four major academies truly such monsters?

The exotic beasts in the Chaos Mist were gradually thinning out, and Wang Lan’s defensive position was steadily being pushed back under their onslaught. Fighting and retreating, Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu had reached the entrance to Ice Cliff.

But even so, not a single exotic beast had broken through their blockade to launch a frontal attack on the Ice Cliff defense line. They had truly achieved the feat of one man holding the pass against ten thousand.

"Commander-in-chief, something’s not right," said Guo Xiao, who had somehow climbed up to the Gate of The Underworld. Instead of feeling relaxed, his face was grave as he watched the one-sided slaughter.

"I also feel something’s off," Duan Qingfeng said, a flicker of worry in his eyes.

"Even if we were conducting a Hundred Regiments Battle, isn’t the reaction from the exotic beasts in the Chaos Mist too intense? We originally thought only the Snow Demon would be alerted. But looking at this situation, it seems dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of exotic beast tribes have been stirred up, right?"

"That’s right," replied the commander-in-chief. "We originally thought there were only a few thousand beasts. Who could have expected an army of a hundred thousand? Without Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu, we’d have been reduced to nothing but bones and dust by now."

"Commander-in-chief, should we send someone to report to headquarters? This is highly abnormal. There must be a major upheaval in the Chaos Mist," suggested another.

"Headquarters is busy directing the Hundred Regiments Battle now," the commander-in-chief answered. "They don’t have time for us. Even if we report, it’ll have to wait until this battle is over. There aren’t many exotic beasts left. It looks like our job here is almost done."

The surrounding exotic beasts were dwindling. Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu began to abandon wide-range Star Martial Skills. On a sparse battlefield, single-target kills were most efficient.

In her Snow God State, Jiang Xinyu rampaged across the battlefield like a Titan. Each stomp crushed several exotic beasts into pulp; each punch made the earth tremble.

Unlike Jiang Xinyu’s bulldozing approach, Wang Lan’s attacks were far more elegant. The combination of Water Demon and the Dance of the Dark Butterfly was especially suited for this terrain. The earlier Heavenly Fire Extinguishing World and Earth Surge Lava had melted a substantial amount of ice and snow. Now, an endless expanse of shallow water lay underfoot, perfect for Wang Lan to move unpredictably.

The exotic beasts roared in anxiety. They sensed a reaper harvesting their lives but couldn’t pinpoint its location. They could only feel their companions rapidly diminishing, falling one by one like extinguished stars.

The Zanpakuto, imbued with the Sunlight Sword Skill, was invincible, and the combination of Water Demon and the Dance of the Dark Butterfly made Wang Lan’s movements unpredictable. In one second, Wang Lan could flash more than twenty times. Such killing efficiency was surprisingly not inferior to that of the Heaven and Earth Millstone.

The exotic beasts covering the landscape fell in droves, visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, a large swath could be cleared.

"It’s about to end. Notify the others to prepare to clean up the battlefield."

BUZZ...

Just as Duan Qingfeng’s words landed, a buzzing sound suddenly emanated from the Chaos Mist in the distance. The mist began to churn violently.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the mist, targeting Jiang Xinyu in her Snow God State directly. Where the light passed, countless tiny diamonds spontaneously appeared in the surrounding space.

The light’s speed exceeded Jiang Xinyu’s reaction time. The instant a sense of alarm flared in her heart, the light was already upon her.

Not good! Jiang Xinyu’s face turned instantly pale; this beam of light possessed unimaginable power. Though it seemed thin, Jiang Xinyu understood that if she were struck, she would undoubtedly die.

Wang Lan... In that moment, Wang Lan’s name was the only thought she had time for.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed before her. Wang Lan, who had been a hundred meters away just moments before, appeared right in front of her in an instant.

"Holy Shield!" A massive, divine shield materialized before Wang Lan’s chest, and the light struck it the instant it formed.

CRACK!

With a crisp sound, the shield formed of Holy Light was instantly encased in ice. Wang Lan’s heart lurched in horror; even light itself could be frozen!

BOOM!

As the light shield exploded, in that critical moment, Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu managed to dodge the deadly beam of light.

"Aurora!" After landing, Wang Lan tumbled repeatedly to steady himself and then looked solemnly toward the churning Chaos Mist.

This beam of light was an Aurora—a Rapid Freezing Light! Any Ice Attribute Star Martial Warrior who mastered Aurora was at least at the Titled Strongman level of strength. Likewise, an exotic beast with mastery of Aurora possessed the strength of a Titled Strongman.

"Xinyu, fall back," Wang Lan ordered in a low voice.

"Let’s face the enemy together!"

"No. If you’re by my side, I’ll be distracted protecting you and won’t be able to fight with my full strength."

Jiang Xinyu’s expression darkened, and she clenched her fists tightly. After a few seconds, her hands relaxed.

"Alright! Be careful!"

"You should know my strength. Unless it’s a master at the Five Emperors’ level, no one can take my life."

Jiang Xinyu gave Wang Lan a deep look and retreated to the Gate of The Underworld. However, she did not jump into the Ice Cliff defensive line; in this corner, she wouldn’t be affected by the battle.

Rolling smoke billowed, and a huge figure emerged from the thick fog.

"Hell’s Three-Headed Dog?" Duan Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Commander-in-chief, you know this exotic beast?"

"I heard about it from the intelligence department when I was at headquarters. In the Cloud Sea Different Dimensional Space, there are seven terrifying exotic beasts, and the Hell’s Three-Headed Dog is one of them. The truly terrifying aspect of the Hell’s Three-Headed Dog isn’t its size, nor its ability to utilize three fused attributes. It’s its Undying Body. Even if cut in half, the Hell’s Three-Headed Dog can resurrect. A Titled Strongman might kill it once, but definitely not a second time. Three years ago, three Titled Strongmen joined forces to hunt it. They killed it ten times, and it resurrected each time. It’s an exotic beast that cannot be killed."

GASP!

With the appearance of the Hell’s Three-Headed Dog, another white figure emerged beside it. From afar, the white figure resembled a person with long, snow-white hair dancing in the wind, clad in a coat of snow fur, tall and elegant.

But upon closer inspection, one would see a ghastly, porcelain-like face. It had no nose, no mouth, no eyebrows—only two hollow eye sockets emanating black, deathly energy.

"What is this? A human?"

"It shouldn’t be!" Duan Qingfeng said uncertainly. "Humans couldn’t possibly associate with exotic beasts. Besides, the Star Energy Fluctuation emanating from her isn’t human."

Wang Lan gazed at the white figure, his eyes brimming with killing intent. Although he had never seen this form of exotic beast before, he was absolutely certain it was one. Furthermore, the Aurora that had almost killed Jiang Xinyu earlier had been unleashed by her.
