Chapter 736: Mad King Building Drains All Interference Power, Xu Lang Joins the Battlefield!

Void Battlefield.

Demon King Castle.

The Mad King Building broadcast wasn't just heard by Mad King Building players—other players heard it too.

However, they didn't pause their current actions. If anything, they fought even harder!

Nicholas Sabas was operating at full capacity, forcing himself to hold back the three Heaven's Judgment Building Guards even at the cost of worsening his injuries.

"Here comes the variable!"

A smile tugged at his lips, and his heart was filled with delight.

At that very moment, the Sword-Wielding Heaven's Judgment Building Guard actually broke away from Heaven's Judgment Building and charged toward Amusement Park Building!

The Haunted House stared in disbelief. Just moments ago, it had been forced back by the Sword-Wielding Heaven's Judgment Building Guard's firepower, and now the enemy was voluntarily retreating!

Its mind raced through a couple of quick turns, and it too gave up on attacking Heaven's Judgment Building, rushing toward Amusement Park Building instead.

Its chain of logic was this:

With Heaven's Judgment Building losing the protection of the Sword-Wielding Heaven's Judgment Building Guard, there was no need for it to keep attacking!

And Nicholas Sabas alone could never hold back four Heaven's Judgment Building Guards!

So, it had to fall back and defend!

This was the optimal choice!

To be honest, despite the Haunted House's inhuman appearance, the fact that it could make such a decision in a split second meant its intelligence likely far surpassed that of an average human!

...

"Let me borrow your power." After signing the contract, Xu Lang didn't head out the door immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked over to the Eternal Dark Knight King.

Sneaking around, scheming in the shadows—that wasn't his style!

Mad King Building had long been a target for everyone. For this final battle, why not keep shining?

Taking on multiple opponents alone—this was the script Xu Lang knew best.

Fighting on equal footing was never as satisfying as being unmatched in the world. In his simulations, Xu Lang had always adhered to this philosophy.

This was also why Xu Lang was frustrated beyond measure—if Mad King Building had cooperated with him from the very beginning, they could have crushed the opening round outright.

Turning the tide from the brink of defeat, scraping and scheming—how could any of that compare to the sheer thrill of steamrolling everything from start to finish!

The Eternal Dark Knight King froze for a moment, then the soul inhabiting that rusted suit of armor gradually dimmed, until it vanished completely.

Xu Lang took a long stride and stepped directly into the rusted armor.

And the armor fused with him perfectly!

"So this is the power of a BOSS? Not bad at all!" Xu Lang took a few brisk steps, pushed open the Oak Door, and said aloud, "Building, don't hold back that little bit of Interference Power of yours just to screw me over. Reinforce my Black Crown—otherwise, this won't be easy to win!"

...

Beneath the heavens, sparks flew in every direction. The black-red sky burned fiercely, sinking lower and lower, as if the end of the world had arrived!

The seventh round had reached its final critical moment. Even the magma lake seemed to be excited, bubbling with molten bubbles, its temperature terrifyingly high!

The Haunted House and Nicholas Sabas were locked in fierce combat with the four Heaven's Judgment Building Guards.

The four Heaven's Judgment Building Guards daring to sortie together meant they indeed had a trump card up their sleeves—the Haunted House's decision had been correct!

On the rooftop of Heaven's Judgment Building, a silver brush suppressed everything. All players who entered the rooftop were frozen in place!

Their movements became impossibly sluggish, as if they'd been slowed to a hundredth of their normal speed.

This was exactly the Heaven's Judgment Building's dormitory trait—Heaven's Judgment Stroke!

How long the effect lasted? Unknown!

If the Haunted House hadn't been quick to fall back and defend, Nicholas Sabas would have already been crushed by now.

However, even with the two of them fighting 2v4, they were still struggling to hold their ground.

The Sword-Wielding Heaven's Judgment Building Guard at full power was absolutely ferocious!

If Heaven's Judgment Building had revealed its full strength from the very beginning, the game's pace could have been much faster.

Of course, back then, Amusement Park Building still had its Interference Power unused.

Likewise, if the situation grew too dangerous, Mad King Building wouldn't just sit idly by either.

All in all, Heaven's Judgment Building's decision hadn't been wrong.

Just as the Haunted House and Nicholas Sabas were being pushed back step by step, on the rooftop of Evil King Building, an enormous black vortex gate materialized. Mad King Building players poured out of it like beans spilling from a sack, flooding into the breakout point.

"That's Xu Lang!" Jester cried out in shock.

At this moment, Amusement Park Building players were crawling all over Heaven's Judgment Building's structure. They didn't dare set foot on the rooftop—all of them were waiting for the Heaven's Judgment Stroke's effect to end.

The super-large rocket had been blown to pieces, but Jester had luckily survived.

As one of the three major powers of Amusement Park Building, his Joy Value was staggeringly high. Unless things went to the extreme, he generally wouldn't die.

Youle crouched beside Jester, his gaze piercing straight toward the Mad King Building rooftop like two sharp swords.

At the final critical moment, Xu Lang had indeed come out of seclusion!

Making his grand appearance at the climax—who knew what kind of spectacular show he was about to put on!

At this moment, every player who could still move turned their gaze toward Evil King Building's rooftop—that massive black vortex gate, and the helmeted man standing at the rooftop's edge!

That face of Xu Lang's—there wasn't a single person who didn't recognize it!

The four Heaven's Judgment Building Guards glanced at Evil King Building, then immediately unleashed their full power. Time was growing even tighter—Mad King Building, which had been inactive all along, was starting to make its move. They had to speed up their pace!

It was at this moment that Xu Lang produced an extremely magnificent black crown and slowly placed it upon his head.

The Dorm Survival Game broadcast rang out at the exact same moment!

[Dorm Survival Game Broadcast—]

[Mad King Building intervenes in the battlefield!]

[Mad King Building's Acting Dorm Owner "Xu Lang," bearing the title "Black Crown," receives a temporary enhancement. All lifeforms not aligned with Mad King Building are forcibly designated as enemy forces.]

[Mad King Building's Interference Power has been completely drained!]

BOOM!!!

In that instant, the magma lake that had nearly swallowed all four dormitory buildings erupted into a frenzy. Molten rock pillars over ten meters thick shot skyward.

Heaven and earth were exulting, roaring wildly, as if they too wanted to exterminate Xu Lang, this king among men!

The Amusement Park Building players had completely lost their minds. Their gazes locked onto Xu Lang, pupils shrinking to pinprick size—obsessed, deranged, with nothing but Xu Lang remaining in their eyes!

Seize that crown, and they could enjoy the ecstasy of being king, dominating everything!

They couldn't even bear to waste a single shout. Every ounce of their strength went into the charge—charging toward the king!

Even those players trapped under the Heaven's Judgment Stroke forcibly twisted their heads at this very moment. Even if their necks snapped from the strain, they had to turn and steal a glance at the crown!

It was hard to imagine how immense their Willpower was at this moment!

If these players had the leisure to open their status panels, they would see a certain condition attached to them.

[Abnormal Status "Endless Challenge to the King"]

[Status Level: Level 90]

[Status Effect: Abandon everything, challenge the king, and seize the crown!]

This was a Level 90 abnormal status!

Xu Lang, at his absolute limit, could only create abnormal statuses up to Level 20 at most, like "Bleeding." Yet the abnormal status caused by the Black Crown was rated at Level 90 in the player evaluation system!

Even if Xu Lang knew this himself, he would be utterly shocked.

Because the Black Crown had more than just this one ability.

"Endless Challenge to the King" was merely the effect gained after conquering the Mad King Building player group. By conquering other factions, it could unlock even more effects!

Take, for example, the Amusement Park Building, Evil King Building, and Heaven's Judgment Building right before his eyes!

Behind the Sword-Wielding Heaven's Judgment Building Guard, turret afterimage projections bombarded relentlessly. Who knew how many turret attacks were all converging on Xu Lang at the same moment!

Xu Lang's hands reached forward, hooked, and tore apart—a massive rift in space was ripped open!

Ghouls from the Infinite Purgatory poured out of it in swarms, like mountains, like seas!

As for Xu Lang himself, he drew the King of Purgatory. Three scarlet Herding Chains coiled around his waist. The imagery of the Blood River of the Fallen undulated behind him, with blood-red Sacrificed Ones rising and falling within its currents, dripping with hunger for living flesh!

In this battle, Xu Lang was destined to fight until he went numb!

We're all players here. Killing one another never required an apology.

Beneath the crown, there were only challengers!
