All members are mutated masters, and the watchers are gradually going crazy.
Qinong's [Rainbow Piercing the Sun] can add a percentage to the base attack power, and it's a full 20%, which is quite formidable.
For those Legendary powerhouses, it can increase their attack power by at least one or two hundred thousand.
Qinong also recovered from the shock of his surging power.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I understand, Lord Cao Xing."
As he spoke, a long spear appeared out of thin air in Qinong's hand. The spear body flashed with a cold, biting light, and he grasped it instantly.
The moment he held the spear, his aura changed abruptly, as if he had merged with the spear, emitting an aura that made people's hearts tremble!
Immediately after, he violently thrust the spear in his hand toward the high sky!
The spear cut through the night sky like lightning and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Everyone looked up and saw that a dazzling ball of light seemed to emerge in the originally dark night sky, emitting boundless might like a small sun.
This 'sun' carried boundless might and was falling toward the territory at high speed!
Cao Xing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly thought of something.
"The [Rainbow Piercing the Sun] skill has an explosion radius of 1000 meters. Is this damn thing going to blow up my territory?"
However, just as he was worried, the spear did not cause an explosion, but instantly sank into the ground!
The expected scene of an explosion did not appear; instead, a low roar was heard.
In the snow outside the territory, dense cracks suddenly appeared, as if the earth had been torn apart by a powerful force.
It was as if the explosion of 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun' had been transferred outside the territory.
This move could be said to be quite stunning!
This also meant that Qinong's control over power had reached a terrifying realm.
A trace of admiration flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.
At the same time, a system notification appeared.
[Your territory member: Qinong Dutela cast [Rainbow Piercing the Sun], friendly unit attack power increased by 20%, lasting 30 seconds. Influenced by the talent [Eternal Power], it has become permanent—]
Cao Xing felt that his panel had changed again.
His magic attack power increased from the original 400,000 to 410,000.
It was not as high as he imagined.
This was naturally because his base attack power was not high, only a little over 60,000, so it only increased by more than 10,000 attack power.
However, while it wasn't a big boost for him, it was different for those Legendaries.
After all, their base attack power was easily seven or eight hundred thousand, or even over a million.
20% is an increase of one or two hundred thousand!
Now, the Dragon Speaker with the highest attack power has reached 1.6 million attack power.
Even Braum's attack power was forcibly raised from the 500,000 he had just broken through to 1 million.
It could be said to be quite terrifying!
This blessing brought a qualitative change to everyone's combat power.
In terms of top-tier combat power, those Legendary powerhouses could fight two or three people without any pressure, and when it came to the backbone forces below, it was even more terrifying—
After all, just looking at the panels, these combat personnel had far surpassed the tenth-order mutated dominators!
And a mutated dominator could easily wipe out an army of over 100,000 people.
In other words, if Cao Xing's combat personnel were all sent out, millions of troops would be easily crushed by them.
Cao Xing said with a smile, "Alright, the blessing is over now, everyone go back and rest."
"We will continue to fight tomorrow morning."
The crowd responded loudly after the boost.
"Yes! My Lord!"
With excitement, they quickly returned to their respective rooms!
This strength boost made them look forward to tomorrow's battle even more.
Cao Xing also returned to the lord's castle with Liu Muxue.
More than ten hours ago, inside the Watchers' Great Hall.
The atmosphere here was heavy and oppressive.
A group of Watcher elders stood by with serious expressions, whispering about something.
Other Watcher members were busy packing various supplies, moving quickly and orderly.
The Blood Commander stood in place with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger.
He turned his head to look at the Watcher leader, his voice low and cold.
"Luo, are we leaving now?"
The Watcher leader nodded, his expression still calm and firm; the previous defeat seemed not to have changed his state of mind.
"That's right, that traitor was rescued by Cao Xing, and he knows the location of our Great Hall."
"Now, both you and I have suffered serious injuries. If he brings people here to raid at this time, we might be wiped out."
"Therefore, we must leave as quickly as possible."
Hearing this, a look of humiliation appeared in the Blood Commander's eyes!
To think that he, a dignified Demigod-level, now had to worry about an ant at the Hero level bringing people to besiege him!
This was simply a huge humiliation!
The Blood Commander said coldly, "You are too cautious. Let me go out for a spin and devour the living beings in a few cities, and I will be able to return to my peak state soon!"
"By then, if these guys dare to come over, I will wipe them all out directly!"
The Watcher leader shook his head, "I said, we will not attack those civilians."
Hearing this, the Blood Commander's face instantly became ferocious, and he shouted angrily, "Luo! How long are you going to be soft-hearted?"
"If it weren't for your insistence on those meaningless principles, we could have opened dozens of Blood Teleportation Pillars within a day!"
"At that time, those kingdoms would have already fallen!"
"Not to mention letting a few ants ride on our heads now."
The Watcher leader remained calm and said lightly, "This is my bottom line."
"I can allow you to deal with those soldiers, and even destroy city after city."
"But—absolutely no innocent killing."
"You! You are truly stubborn!"
The Blood Commander was enraged by his stubbornness, a bloody and cruel aura suddenly erupted, and a terrifying pressure swept through the entire Great Hall!
The Watcher leader did not speak, watching him with a pair of cold eyes, emitting waves of dangerous aura.
The collision of their auras made the entire Great Hall tremble!
The Watcher members were already pale and trembling violently.
They simply couldn't withstand this kind of Demigod-level aura collision!
A moment later.
The Blood Commander compromised.
He restrained his aura and asked coldly, "Then tell me, what should we do next?"
"That damn human brat has so many Legendaries, in terms of Legendary combat power, he has completely surpassed us."
"The old King and that Lizardman Chieftain devoured our clan's Blood Core and recovered quite a bit of combat power, right?
"Now, we are completely at a disadvantage!"
"Tomorrow, that brat will definitely continue to destroy our Blood Teleportation Pillars. By then, our plan will completely collapse!"
Hearing this, the Watcher leader also frowned.
He never thought he would be forced to this point.
After a moment of silence, he seemed to have made a decision and said slowly, "Go to the border."
"The border?" A flash of doubt crossed the Blood Commander's eyes.
"Yes, first find a way to let you recover your combat power."
"As for the things later, I will think of a way."
Hearing this, the Blood Commander seemed to realize something, and a strange smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered, "Luo—I found that sometimes you are more hypocritical than me."
The Watcher leader's expression changed slightly, but he finally sighed helplessly.
That night, battle reports came from the Ice Crystal Kingdom and the Gray Mist Kingdom; the border was raided by Demigod-level powerhouses.
Adding up all the kingdoms, at least a million soldiers were slaughtered, and many more soldiers were directly abducted, their fates unknown.
By the time the Lizardman Chieftain and the old King and others rushed over, the Blood Commander had already left.
Looking at the devastated battlefield with corpses everywhere, the two frowned deeply.
The old King sighed, "This kind of enemy is truly difficult to deal with—"
"If we can't wipe them out in one go, these guys will be like venomous snakes, biting you from time to time, leaving you with no peace."
The Lizardman Chieftain nodded and said, "Yes… we can't force them too hard either. If we kill all the Legendaries under them, they might be driven to desperation."
"Two Demigods staring at you every day, who can stand it?"
The old King was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Now, we can only look at Lord Cao Xing's actions."
"Wait until he clears all the teleportation pillars on his side, then we will gather our forces and wipe out the Blood Legion and the Watchers in one fell swoop."
The next day, a system prompt appeared.
"Attention, all Survivors! You have survived the seventh day of the Turbulent Period. Last night, the Blood Legion activated 4 Blood Teleportation Pillars."
"Please speed up and clear out more of the Blood Legion."
"Remaining Teleportation Pillars: 42."
"Today's weather: Blizzards will occur in some areas, with minimum temperatures ranging from -68°C to -73°C."
When the prompts ended, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue suddenly opened their eyes and exchanged glances.
The beauty beside him said, "Ah Xing, the number of Teleportation Pillars activated last night seems to have decreased significantly."
Cao Xing also nodded, "Yes, it seems our actions yesterday have already had an effect."
"Today, we will continue to send Isabelle and Bing Lan out to destroy the Teleportation Pillars in other national regions."
"We will strive to completely quell the Blood Chaos within a week."
Liu Muxue looked at this man, an expression of admiration inevitably appearing on her face.
After all, it was this man who, through a series of actions, had dealt a severe blow to the Watchers and the Blood Legion during this Blood Chaos.
Otherwise, the current situation would have already become dire, and it is possible that all the major kingdoms would have fallen.
Now, victory is finally within sight!
Just as Cao Xing was preparing to take action, a weathered voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Lord Cao Xing, I am the Ice Crystal King."
Cao Xing paused, stopping his movements as he got out of bed.
He pressed the communication device and replied, "Your Majesty, please speak."
The old King continued, "Last night, the leader of the Watchers and the Blood Commander acted together, raiding the border regions of many kingdoms."
"They abducted a large number of soldiers. Their purpose is unknown, but it certainly isn't anything good."
"The Watchers are still continuing to deploy Legendary units to abduct large numbers of soldiers."
"These two Demigod-level beings have become somewhat unscrupulous now."
"Therefore, if you intend to continue your operations today to destroy other Blood Teleportation Pillars, it is best not to spread your combat forces too thin, nor should you go to kingdoms that are too far away."
"Even though we can provide support through the Ancient Teleportation Array, it will still take some time."
Cao Xing understood what he meant.
Now, after what happened yesterday, the situation for the Watchers and the Blood Legion was on the verge of collapse!
Now, in order to reverse their disadvantage, they have even resorted to unscrupulous means.
Even Demigod-level powerhouses are personally taking action, targeting those ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, the person they hate the most right now is undoubtedly Cao Xing.
The old King is worried that the leader of the Watchers and the Blood Commander will become desperate and stop at nothing to rush over and deal with him.
If that happens, facing the threat of two Demigods, if the Lizardman Chieftain and the old King cannot arrive in time to rescue him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Cao Xing replied solemnly, "I understand, Your Majesty. Thank you for the warning."
The Ice Crystal King said, "You are welcome. You are our hope now."
After hanging up the communication, Cao Xing briefly explained the situation to Liu Muxue.
A look of worry also appeared on the face of this Aurora Knight.
"Has it really reached this point?"
Liu Muxue frowned and said, "The Watchers have gone mad—"
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, they have waited thousands of years for this plan."
"This time, there were problems on the Human Empire's side, and they couldn't provide support. They finally waited for a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, only to have it interrupted, and they are now on the verge of falling short of success."
"Next, they will definitely take even more extreme actions!"
Through his conversation with Qinong yesterday, Cao Xing already understood the character of the Watchers' leader.
He is a very contradictory yet firm idealist.
As long as the situation is within his control, he will control and restrain all his subordinates, achieving his goals while trying his best not to violate his own principles.
But once the situation spirals out of control, he will resort to unscrupulous means.
Just like their surprise attack last time.
At the moment when the blood portal was about to dissipate, the leader of the Watchers was even prepared to immolate himself.
To exchange his own death for the arrival of the blood.
Now, he has been forced into a corner by Cao Xing once again.
Next, the leader of the Watchers will definitely use every possible means to clear away all obstacles.
Liu Muxue looked solemn, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing her like this, Cao Xing pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.
"Don't worry, Muxue."
"At least we are still safe within the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
"Mm," Liu Muxue replied softly.
The two of them quickly got up and washed up briefly.
Cao Xing took Liu Muxue and pushed open the doors of the lord's castle.
He stood in the square at the center of the territory and shouted, "All combat personnel, assemble!"
"Whoosh."
Hearing the order, the more than two thousand combat personnel in the entire territory gathered one after another.
They arranged themselves into formations according to their respective troop types, each looking at their lord with eyes full of fighting spirit.
After the collective blessing last night, the strength of all the warriors had skyrocketed.
They couldn't wait to go out and fight.
Cao Xing nodded slightly and ordered, "Today, all combat personnel, your mission is still to clear out the remaining Blood Legion within the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
"Only clear out ninety percent of the enemies on each map; leave the remaining ten percent for other Survivors to handle."
"Within three days, eliminate all the blood monsters in the Ice Crystal Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, the group of combat personnel immediately responded loudly.
"As you command, Lord!"
"We will use the weapons in our hands to clear away all obstacles for you!"
Then, the combat personnel organized themselves into groups of one hundred, each led by at least a Tier 7 Leader-level powerhouse.
As a chorus of flapping wings sounded, more than two thousand people all left the area.
Only the group of Legendary powerhouses remained.
They also looked at Cao Xing with determined eyes, waiting for the lord to issue today's mission.
Cao Xing said, "Your mission is different from the others."
"Today, you need to head to the neighboring Orchid Kingdom, clear out the Blood Teleportation Pillars there, and incidentally wipe out any Blood Legion forces you encounter on the way."
"Then take a detour to the Gray Mist Kingdom, push down the Teleportation Pillars there, and after that, head to the Kunade Kingdom—"
"For now, keep your range of operations within these few kingdoms."
"You must remember, do not split up."
Cao Xing emphasized the last sentence especially.
Everyone could hear the seriousness and warning in his tone.
The straightforward Braum asked directly, "Lord, are you worried that those two Demigods will come over to ambush us?"
"That's right."
Cao Xing nodded and continued, "I think you have all experienced the power of these two Demigods."
"With the combat power of the five of you, holding off their attacks for a while is not a problem, but to kill them, you are still far off."
"So—if you really encounter an attack, do your best to stall them and wait for the old Chieftain and the King to arrive and provide support."
On the field, the five Legendary powerhouses nodded solemnly.
Braum raised his Legendary shield and said firmly, "If anyone wants to hurt my companions, they will have to step over Braum's dead body first!"
After speaking, the five of them leaped up and jumped onto the back of Seraphis.
With a flap of its wings, Seraphis carried the several Legendary powerhouses into the high sky.
In no time, they disappeared without a trace.
There were three figures left on the spot.
Besides Cao Xing, there were Malenia and Liu Muxue, the two beings who possessed Legendary combat power.
However… although Malenia possessed Legendary combat power, she was essentially still a Hero-level creature.
So even if she was sent out to fight, she couldn't gain any experience.
Cao Xing kept her behind naturally to protect his own safety at close range.
As for Liu Muxue, there was even less need for her to go out.
With so many status skills, even if she stayed at home, her leveling speed was still much faster than the other Legendaries.
Liu Muxue asked softly, "Ah Xing, what do we need to do today? Should we continue to stay in the territory?"
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Today, I have a task for you."
"Go and find Bai Zhi."
"Bai Zhi?"
Liu Muxue was somewhat familiar with this name.
In the Four Great Regions, this was considered one of the more famous Survivors.
