Chapter 176: Ah Yuan’s Achievements Are Not Inferior to…. (3K for Monthly Ticket)_l
Translator: 549690339
Under the command of Mu Yuan, Duo Lai had already unknowingly halted his actions, and Isloa was merely relying on her superior artistic conception, dodging around the battlefield while watching the battle.
The main actors on the battlefield were the Undead Legion at this moment.
They were defending, charging, and amassing power.
Sometimes, the terrifying power of the Resentful Spirits would merge together, forming a black light that fills the sky, making faithful nuns on the spot close their eyes and collapse softly on the ground.
At other times, Skeleton Generals would swing their heavy swords together. The black mist from the cleaving skill was also intertwined and merged, transforming into a massive sword aura several tens of meters long.
“As expected, this kind of battle, which is stronger than the individual but can’t be crushed with a single blow, is the most effective way to hone everyone’s battle skills, experience, fighting spirit and…”
Some kind of embryo!
The intense battle continued for a full twenty minutes. By the end, only Rakshasa, Hong Yi, and ‘Bone Two’, ‘Bone Three’, ‘Bone Four’ were still fighting; all the others had stopped.
Because this kind of embryo can only be condensed by troops of the same kind or the same line.
A ‘Miscellaneous Brand’ assembled Complete Troop Legion, no matter how powerful, can’t merge as harmoniously as the Skeleton General and Resentful Spirits.
In the end, the most vulnerable Skeleton Generals and Resentful Spirits had perished. Among the elites, only a few Skeleton Morticians and Evil Spirits were left.
They stood on the incredibly chaotic battlefield.
The invisible momentum emanating from them became even more ferocious, stirring the black cloud and fog.
Vaguely, the black fog seemed to manifest a certain scene, but it shattered like a bubble with a “poof”.
“Still a little bit short.”
“No, it’s far from enough. The formation of an Army Soul isn’t that easy. Many Complete Troop Legions can’t even do it.”
But the scene before their eyes indicated that his Undead Legion had a chance, a great chance! They were already on the path to forming an Army Soul. This might have something to do with the intelligence of all the troops, and many of them had awakened their self-awareness.
Unlike other legions, which can only rely on their commanders and a very few intelligent juniors to lead them, and slowly integrate.
This was naturally slow.
All members of the Tianyuan Corps contributed their efforts.
Even if they were still far from truly creating the Army Soul, but…
If one battle isn’t enough, then come ten! A hundred!
They can definitely condense a real Army Soul Embryo in the end!
At that time, an entire legion would truly become one, capable of erupting with extremely strong and terrifying power.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: You have passed the second level of the Red Tower and received the random reward ‘Perfect Breakthrough Stone (Intermediate)’.”
“Prompt: Would you like to challenge the third level?”
In front of them, the vast prairie unfolded like a scroll.
The opponents they faced were still the Ironclad Scorpion and Nun combination, but this time, the enemy’s number had risen to a thousand units.
Their level had also slightly increased, from the mid-elite level to the late-elite level.
This quantitative change brought about a qualitative change.
When two or three hundred giant scorpions fired their needles simultaneously, even General Duo Lai had a hard time dodging, and his time to counterattack was greatly reduced.
Dozens of nuns using the Power of Holy Light together even manifested a large Holy Light shield.
Compared to the second level, this level is several times more difficult!
“Duo Lai, with the cooperation and support of the others, has a chance to pass this level, but…”
“By the time Duo Lai has almost killed the enemy, the others would probably have all died, including Lu Liu, who has strong defense abilities.”
Therefore, General Dead Bone also took action.
He took a step forward, walking to the front of the formation. In an instant, he drew out Wailing Death and slashed a pitch-black line of aura several tens of meters long.
As Dead Bone’s sword aura fell, it left a semicircular pitch-black slash on the ground in front of him.
There was no deafening roar, instead, it was like ink spilling onto white paper, staining the prairie. Within the slash’s range, the Holy Light shield burst open, followed by the Giant Scorpion and Nun under the curtain of Holy Light. Their bodies all trembled simultaneously. Their bodies seemed to be enveloped by ink and silently melted within the pitch-black slash.
This is Dead Bone today.
He continued to swing his sword, and although his moves aren’t particularly flashy, they were executed with an effortless grace and contained profound subtleties.
However, if this was all he could do, Dead Bone would merely be a superenhanced version of Isloa, and his battlefield killing power and destructive power would still be inferior to Duo Lai’s.
In fact, the normal Dead Bone, without using any special moves, indeed isn’t as good as Duo Lai.
No matter how much Dead Bone kills, it’s only enough for him to gain an advantage on one side. The enemies on the other fronts have already surged in like a tide, shaking the line of defense to the point of collapse. Even Rakshasa and Hong Yi are in grave danger.
The charging Rakshasa nearly didn’t make it back.
This is what they call being unable to support everything by oneself.
If behind Dead Bone and Duo Lai was a city they had to defend, no matter how strong they are, they wouldn’t be able to stop all the monster’s charge. The wave would ultimately break and swallow the city.
But
The space suddenly rippled layer upon layer. A towering and majestic mountain covered with countless white bones appeared out of nowhere.
Hovering over the battlefield.
The Wraith Sacred Mountain appeared to be just an illusion, distant, hazy, and unreal, having no effect on the Skeleton Generals within it. But strangely, when the more distant Giant Scorpions surged forward, they stepped directly onto the land of bones.
It’s as if this mountain stood in front of them, blocking all paths.
They had no choice but to go up the mountain road.
On the mountain, the frost-white bones quivered. Amidst the quaking sound, one after another skeletal creature crawled out.
Little Skeletons, Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Mages, Skeleton Giants…
From weak to strong.
The creatures of the Wraith kept reviving, kept coming down from the Wraith Sacred Mountain, forming a tide of skeletons of considerable scale!
This is the Wraith Sacred Mountain that Dead Bone has operated and expanded by investing various resources into it over more than one month after stepping into the Epic Level, occasionally using Undead Resurrection and Legion of Death, gradually accumulating.
‘Dead Bone,’ the rodent skeleton, began to unleash its true power.
The Ironclad Scorpion’s huge pincers rose, smashing one skeleton after another, but it quickly found itself engulfed in a wave of whiteness.
The nuns released the Power of Holy Light, but on the Wraith Sacred Mountain where death energy was all over, their Holy Light was like a fearful girl surrounded by countless men, shivering and unable to be arrogant. Their normally dominant holy energy could only spread a few feet now.
Soon, the nuns also were swallowed by the white wave of skeletons, sinking into it.
The two forces continuously clashed, tangled, and consumed each other.
The Wraith Sacred Mountain stood like a majestic fortress, shielding the majority of the enemy’s attacks from the troops in front and allowing a small portion to seep through, offering perfect sharpening for our own troops.
“Kill!”
In this situation, even someone as lazy as Hong Yi found herself ignited. She resonated with countless Resentful Spirits and Evil Spirits, and streams of pitch-black energy surged towards her, her jade-like palm gathering the energy to form a gigantic claw shimmering in blood red.
As the gigantic blood claw swung, the blood of the Ironclad Scorpion and the nuns seemed to be siphoned off. Their bodies withered.
Rakshasa flickered, leaving behind shadows, like a body morphing into many.
Black fog chased his footsteps, seemingly forming dragons of black fog, winding over the enemy formation, gradually revealing its fangs and claws.
Above the troops, the rolling black mist became more intense. Something was slowly taking shape and gestating.
Mu Yuan looked forward with anticipation.
Suddenly,
Rakshasa stopped moving.
The Skeleton General struck in vain.
Looking around, the enemies had been completely depleted without being noticed. There was no longer any material that could provide sharpening and serve as a cornerstone for the formation of an Army Soul.
“Is it over already?”
Not only Mu Yuan felt unsatisfied, but others also felt the same.
It was as if they were immersed in a state of enlightenment, and then suddenly interrupted. The discomfort was unbearable, almost making one unable to breathe.
Lord Shepherd secretly regretted being careless and unknowingly surpassing the third level – a higher level of challenge would not benefit his troop’s sharpening.
“The fourth level is roughly 1500 elite peak enemies, this power is already terrifying. Even if I launch the power of Dead Bone fully, use all reserve energy, and I enter the battle, there is only an 80% chance of winning.”
In the third level, Dead Bone had used the Wraith Sacred Mountain to continuously cut off and enclose the enemy, and together with Duo Lai and Isloa, it had systematically annihilated the enemy in a manner of ‘strong against weak’ and ‘many against a few’.
Otherwise, facing hundreds of elite-level strongmen at once, even General Dead Bone would not be able to withstand it.
After all, it was just an elite Level 4, an Epic Life in its juvenile stage.
However, at the fourth level, the number of enemies increases again, and it’s possible they could directly flatten the Wraith Sacred Mountain. Even if Great Lord uses Homogeneous Power and cooperates with Dead Bone, it may not be 100% possible to withstand it.
“Moreover, according to the information, the enemy’s rank will increase at the fifth level, we can’t continue to pass through. Otherwise, the Skeleton General will be easily killed, and it won’t play a role in sharpening.”
Mu Yuan decided to stick at the fourth level.
The Ironclad Scorpion was quite an appropriate opponent.
However, the Secret Realm could not be challenged unlimitedly. Initial entrants have three opportunities, one opportunity is restored per week, and passing a level gains three additional opportunities.
He has 11 challenge opportunities left.
A bit fewer.
He didn’t know if it was enough to form an Army Soul.
The time spent by Mu Yuan on the third and fourth levels was not short.
Meanwhile, outside the field, in the waiting area of the Red Tower, it had been silent for some time, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
All eyes were fixed on the luminescent spot on the fourth floor of the tower, not daring to blink.
Only when they saw the light begin to dim, flickering with a yellowish light as though it was about to go out, did someone swallow and break the silence.
“The fourth level!”
“A newcomer, on his first challenge, reaches the fourth level!”
“Is that reasonable!”
The most reasonable explanation they could come up with was that this newcomer was not as young as he looked. He was an ‘old-timer,’ a veteran Lord with not insignificant accumulation.
Even so, passing three levels on the first entry was a glorious achievement that very few people could achieve.
“Wonder which old timer did it, I bet he’s in disguise.”
In the distance, Shen Linglong had been standing still in the same position for a long time, like a statue.
Her mouth was slightly agape, her pupils sharply contracted, reflecting raging waves, just like her heart that couldn’t calm down at this moment. It wasn’t until the exclamations of others resounded one after another that she was jolted out of her trance.
She wanted to refute.
“What do you all know? He’s not just a newcomer in the Land of Challenge, but also in the entire Eternal World, there is no one more novice than him!”
But she couldn’t say it.
The more extraordinary Tianyuan was, the more she had to keep this secret close to her heart.
She didn’t want to betray the trust of Sister Cold Moon.
Wait a minute,
First time entering, incredibly young, furiously breaking through three levels…
“Tianyuan’s battle achievements… could they be on par with my Lady Han Yue?!”
“Noway, absolutely no way.”
She still felt that her Lady Han Yue was a bit stronger.
But looking at that youthful figure coming out of the tower, a seed of admiration took root in her heart and began to sprout.
