Legendary Skill Book, Aurora Brilliance (5400)

At the same time, the two Watchers Legendary realized that their plan had been exposed!

It wasn't just here at the Eternal Frost Main City; perhaps something unexpected had also happened to the Dark Crow Elder who was raiding that Otherworld Lord.

This left the two Watchers Legendary struggling to understand how they had been exposed.

Clearly, the information the old King had came from Cao Xing.

After leaving the small forest and returning to his territory, Cao Xing immediately contacted Krol and then had a conversation with the old King.

Upon learning that the Watchers Legendary were planning to attack, the old King took it extremely seriously.

He even decided to immediately contact a mysterious old friend of his and have him go to support Cao Xing's territory.

However, after considering it, Cao Xing refused; he decided to rely on his own strength to kill this Legendary entity.

And thus, the following scene unfolded.

It could be said that if the Watchers' plan had succeeded this time, it would have definitely caught Cao Xing and the old King off guard. The Watcher who had informed him in advance in the small forest had done him a huge favor.

Facing the old King's mockery, the two Legendary entities felt no shame whatsoever.

"Hmph! So what if you discovered it?"

"You still won't be able to save that kid today; he is dead for sure!"

A faint smile hung on the corner of the old King's mouth. "I think you are mistaken."

"Lord Cao Xing does not need me to rescue him."

"Instead, are you prepared to pay the corresponding price?"

Hearing this, a look of disdain appeared in the eyes of the two Watchers Legendary!

"Arrogant! You don't have many years left to live; I would like to see how you intend to make us pay the price!"

As the words fell, these two powerhouses no longer concealed themselves.

Each grasped their weapons, and a vast aura instantly covered the entire Eternal Frost Main City.

Then, one after the other, they charged towards the old King!

The Ice Crystal King also raised the Kingdom's Holy Sword and slashed out fiercely!

"Boom!"

Three Legendary creatures clashed once again and quickly surged into the high sky.

Powerful combat skills were unleashed one after another, continuously erupting with destructive fluctuations.

The night sky even became incredibly bright because of their battle!

Wielding a demigod artifact, the Ice Crystal King fought two opponents alone, and without any worries behind him, he displayed an invincible demeanor.

After a fierce battle, he unleashed a Legendary combat skill, nearly cutting one of the Watchers Legendary in half, and the other had half an arm severed.

In the end, the two heavily injured individuals had no choice but to flee.

This Legendary battle ended with the old King sustaining minor injuries and the two Watchers Legendary suffering heavy injuries.

At this moment, the Ice Crystal King stood proudly in mid-air, watching the front.

Not until the enemies had completely disappeared did he loosen his grip on his weapon.

The Kingdom's Holy Sword turned into a streak of green light and quickly returned to the depths of the royal palace.

The civilians and soldiers in the main city looked at that figure in the sky, their eyes revealing fanatical worship!

One by one, they shouted the King's name.

The Ice Crystal King adjusted his breathing in the air, not letting those soldiers see his pale complexion.

Then he gradually descended.

At the same time, a figure quickly rushed to the old King's side, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported:

"Your Majesty! The crisis on Lord Cao Xing's side has been successfully resolved."

Hearing this, the Ice Crystal King breathed a slight sigh of relief, then chuckled: "Lord Cao Xing truly has ability; even Legendary powerhouses can do nothing to him."

"However—he repelled the Watchers this time, so the other side definitely won't give up and will continue to trouble him later."

The old King frowned slightly. "It seems I must think of a permanent solution."

At this moment, Krol said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Lord Cao Xing did not just repel the Legendary from the Watchers."

"He killed him!"

Hearing this, the old King was slightly stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"

"The Watchers' Legendary Elder was killed by him!?"

His clouded eyes were filled with disbelief.

General Krol said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is what Lord Cao Xing said himself."

"He asked me to tell you that if the Watchers launch a more fierce retaliation later, you must, you must hold on."

The old King's reaction at this moment was almost the same as Krol's at the time, completely falling into a daze.

Because that was a Legendary powerhouse!

Only those who are also powerhouses at this level know how hard it is to kill a Legendary creature!

He wielded a demigod artifact and had fought so many battles without ever killing a Legendary.

And now, it had been done by a Tier 7 Otherworld Lord. Even with the old King's composure, he was now somewhat doubting if he had heard correctly.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

Because he knew that on such matters, Cao Xing would not lie.

A moment later, he shook his head helplessly and said: "I thought that when he said he resolved the crisis, he meant he repelled the Legendary powerhouse."

"As it turns out, he actually killed him directly—"

"Now, this might really provoke a crazy retaliation from those guys."

Thinking of this, the old King's eyes narrowed, and he said quickly: "Krol, notify all armies now to enter a state of war, and have everyone ready to deal with strong enemies!"

"Help me urgently contact the Orchid Kingdom, Gray Mist Kingdom, and Kunad Kingdom; I want to speak with them!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The old King said helplessly: "To prevent the guys from the Watchers from being driven to desperation and launching an all-out attack, coming to our Ice Crystal Kingdom to kill Lord Cao Xing."

"At that time, relying on me alone might not be enough—"

Upon hearing this, Krol also immediately realized the severity of the matter.

"Understood! Your Majesty!"

"I will go contact them immediately!"

Not long after the old King's orders were issued, the entire Eternal Frost Main City, including the soldiers at the border, entered a state of war.

Various war machines were activated, and various artillery pieces began loading ammunition.

The soldiers of the opposing Villon Kingdom thought that the Ice Crystal Kingdom was about to suddenly launch a war, and they were so scared that they organized their troops overnight and sounded the war horn.

Meanwhile, in that mysterious great hall.

The fourteen stone chairs were empty at this moment.

Clearly, all the Elders in the Watchers organization had their own tasks and had gone out to carry them out.

There were barely any figures to be seen in the entire great hall.

Just then, one of the stone chairs, carved with a black raven pattern and having weathered the vicissitudes of time, suddenly changed.

A crack gradually appeared on it, and in the blink of an eye, this crack rapidly expanded, spreading across the surface of the entire stone chair!

"Crack! Crack!"

The sound of cracking rang out. One of the Watchers members noticed the change in the stone chair and looked over.

However, before he could even react, he saw that stone chair collapse into a pile of fragments in an instant!

At this moment, he seemed to realize something.

Because before this, their leader had once said that one stone chair represented one Watchers Elder.

If the stone chair shattered, it meant that this Elder had met with misfortune. A look of extreme horror instantly appeared on his face!

Almost trembling all over, he took out a strange device and then shakily pressed the communication button.

Before long, the call was connected.

"Lea-Leader, so-something happened—"

The person on the other end heard the panic in his tone and instinctively had a premonition that something bad might have happened.

He asked: "What happened?"

"Leader, I just saw that the Dark Crow Elder's stone chair shattered!"

At this moment, even this leader of the Watchers was silent for a moment.

He took a deep breath and then analyzed: "I sent Raven to deal with that Otherworld Lord."

"I originally thought that an accident would happen on Cold Sword or Blood Fire's side, but it turned out to be him?"

At this moment, a feeling of anger gradually welled up in his heart.

He even wanted to immediately concentrate all the power of the Watchers, go over, kill the old King, and destroy the Ice Crystal Kingdom!

Wipe out that Otherworld Lord along with them!

However, in the end, he extinguished this thought.

"These guys, after learning about the Watchers' resurgence, several major kingdoms have joined forces and restarted the Inter-domain Teleportation Array, allowing their top powerhouses to freely travel between each other and provide rapid support."

"Unless we simultaneously deploy a large number of Legendaries now, or I personally take action, we won't have the certainty to deal with these kingdoms. But these guys also have quite a few trump cards in their hands; even if we could win in the end, we would suffer heavy losses."

"By then, I would have no energy left to deal with others."

A moment later, he shook his head and said: "Wait a little longer. The plan will succeed soon—"

"Once the Blood Legion descends, by then, not only that Otherworld Lord, but even the Ice Crystal Kingdom, will be easily destroyed."

At this moment, after contacting the major kingdoms nearby, the old King began to wait in full battle array, guarding against the Watchers' counterattack!

Including those kingdoms where Legendary auras were awakening one by one.

They stood beside a hidden teleportation array, ready to teleport over at any time.

It can be said that Cao Xing killing this Legendary entity touched the nerves of countless people!

However, the originator of all this was standing in his territory, looking at the rewards in his backpack with a face full of surprise.

"The rewards for this first kill of a Legendary are truly terrifying!"

"A Relic box, a Legendary skill book, plus 10 Divine Power Shards—hahaha, this is awesome!"

These three rewards were all astonishingly valuable.

One could tell from their names that they were all related to the Legendary tier.

Especially those 10 Divine Power Shards; it was the most he had ever received at once!

However, this was only the first-kill reward.

After taking down that Legendary entity, quite a few things had dropped!

Sarah appeared silently beside Cao Xing and respectfully handed him a backpack.

"My Lord, I have collected all the dropped items. Please take a look."

Cao Xing smiled and transferred the items from the backpack.

[Obtained: Heart of Legend * 1]

[Obtained: Shadow Snipe · Fatal Slash (Legendary skill book)]

[Obtained: Soul Hunter Dagger (Orange)]

[Obtained: Blood of the Strong * 5]

Not only was there a Heart of Legend, but a skill book had also dropped.

At this moment, Cao Xing's heart was once again filled with intense surprise!

Taking down a Legendary entity, while risky, yielded terrifyingly high rewards!

He put all these rewards into his inventory, suppressed his inner excitement, turned around, and said to all the territory members…

"Everyone, enter a state of alert immediately!"

"Support staff, urgently fill in the ground in the territory's buffer zone and repair the damaged city walls."

"All combat personnel, continue to prepare for the arrival of more Legendary entities!"

The combat personnel on the field all looked stern, their expressions solemn as they gazed forward.

If someone had told them to prepare for a Legendary entity before this, they would have thought it was a fantasy, completely impossible!

But after the previous battle, their confidence had been boosted.

That was, relying on their strength, they were capable of facing a Legendary entity head-on!

If they cooperated with the statue in the Lord's hand, they could even kill a Legendary entity!

Even the Dragon Speaker was standing on Seraphis's back, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

For her, fighting against a Legendary entity was an unprecedented experience that could bring her great benefits.

While everyone was on high alert.

The support staff also quickly came out to start filling in the large craters in the buffer zone caused by the battle, while some staff went to repair the city walls.

Cao Xing himself came to the center of the territory to check the rewards he had just obtained.

First, naturally, were the first-kill rewards.

He took a simple, ancient-looking box from his inventory.

[Open the random Relic box?]

[After opening, you will receive a Relic for a random profession.]

The use of this item didn't need to be explained.

To break through to the Legendary tier, Hero-level powerhouses needed Relics.

And because of the differences in professions, the required Relics were also different.

Until now, even Cao Xing didn't know how many professions existed in this world.

After all, just within his territory, dozens of professions had already appeared.

So, wanting to get the specific Relic he wanted from this random Relic box was quite difficult.

"Let's see which profession it turns out to be. It would be best if it's for a Swordsman type!"

With anticipation, Cao Xing clicked to open it.

The next moment.

The box opened slowly, and a burst of intense light erupted from within.

When the light faded.

Inside the box, Cao Xing saw a small, ancient round shield.

This round shield was only about fifty centimeters in diameter, with some ancient patterns carved on it, looking like some kind of primitive creature.

Due to the passage of time, the round shield even had some tiny cracks.

After taking it out of the box, a system notification appeared.

[Obtained: Relic · Ancient Beast Round Shield]

"Oh? It's actually a shield?"

He grasped it in his hand and looked at its attributes.

[Relic · Ancient Beast Round Shield]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Item Effect 1: The round shield contains a portion of Guardian Divine Power, which is one of the materials required for a Shield-type profession to break through to the Legendary realm.]

[Item Effect 2: Can directly absorb the Divine Power contained within to gain 100 Divine Power points, but the Relic will disappear due to the depletion of Divine Power.]

"It really is a Relic for a Shield-type profession, which means this item belongs to Braum!"

A look of regret appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"What a pity. That guy Braum is only level 70, he hasn't even broken through to Hero, let alone Legendary—he's still a distance away."

"Getting this drop seems useless for now."

But the things that dropped this time were still pretty good.

Regardless, at least the Relic for Braum to break through to Legendary was already prepared.

Cao Xing put it into his inventory and then took out another item.

This was also a simple, ancient-looking box.

But it was much smaller than the Relic box.

It was said that one could open a random Legendary skill book for a profession from it.

[Open: Random Skill Book (Legendary)?]

"Yes."

At the same time, the wooden box in his hand slowly opened again, and different lights changed within it.

From the ice-blue containing intense cold, to the white containing lethal sword energy, and the green symbolizing life, and so on.

"Buzz!" The light changed constantly.

In the end, Cao Xing saw all the light disappear.

Then, a burst of intense, resplendent Aurora gushed out from within.

An ancient book shrouded in Aurora appeared in mid-air.

Cao Xing reached out and grabbed it.

[Obtained Skill Book: Aurora World-Shining · Sky Fall]

"Oh? It's actually Aurora-attributed. Could it be a skill for the Aurora Knight?"

With anticipation, Cao Xing looked at the attributes.

[Aurora World-Shining · Sky Fall (Legendary): Exclusive skill book for the Aurora Knight]

[Learning Condition: Level 100 Legendary Aurora Knight]

[Skill Effect: Consumes 20 Divine Power points. Raise the longsword in hand to condense infinite Aurora power, covering an area with a diameter of 5000 meters.]

Within the Aurora range, all friendly units' Four-Dimensional attributes increase by 50%, and attack speed increases by 50%, lasting for 20 seconds.

During this period, the Legendary Aurora Knight continuously condenses a large amount of Aurora power at the sword tip, charging for 3 seconds, then slashes out an ultimate strike with 15000% of attack power. Skill cooldown: 24 hours.]

After reading the long attribute description of this skill, Cao Xing was completely shocked!

"Holy crap! This isn't just for the Aurora Knight, it's also a Legendary-tier support skill book!"

"This effect is too broken, right?"

"A full 50% increase in Four-Dimensional attributes, plus 50% attack speed—if combined with my Eternal Power, wouldn't everyone's stats explode?!"

Clearly, the utility of this skill book already surpassed his Legendary skill—Eternal Sin Ice Prison!

He even wanted to let Liu Muxue learn it immediately and give everyone a buff.

But Liu Muxue was only level 71, still quite a distance away from level 100 and breaking through to Legendary.

Besides, he didn't even know what Relic was needed for the Aurora Knight to break through to Legendary!

Cao Xing couldn't help but complain: "Damn, what a pity!"

"Such a powerful skill, but I can't use it right now."

He put it into his inventory with some regret.

Next was the third reward—those 10 Divine Power Shards.

Cao Xing counted the number of shards in his inventory.

He had 12 left before, and consumed 3 when taking down that Watchers Legendary.

Now, adding them up, he had reached 19!

In other words, this meant there were a full 190 Divine Power points that could be replenished.

Then, he still had two Relics in his hand: Mark of Light and Ancient Beast Round Shield.

If he absorbed them all, he could replenish 200 Divine Power points.

And inside the [power beads], after these days of collection, he had already reached 37 points.

"Calculating it this way, if I use everything, I have almost 427 Divine Power points I can replenish."

"And Malenia's own Divine Power value has already reached 15 points."

"In other words, I'm now only short about 50-something Divine Power points to let Malenia activate her second form and possess Legendary-tier combat power!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

After all, the gap between sub-Legendary and Legendary was just too huge!

Even if he concentrated everyone's strength, plus the Lizardman statue, he could only barely handle one Legendary entity.

But what if two Legendary entities came to deal with him at the same time?

Clearly, he would have no chance of winning.

So—if he could have a Legendary-tier combat force in his territory at this time, combined with the old King, even if the Watchers attacked in full force, he wouldn't be afraid!

But this was the method with the greatest loss.

After all, it would consume two Relics, and these two Relics had the probability of allowing him to birth two Legendary entities.

But if, in a truly desperate situation, Cao Xing would not hesitate to use them all on Malenia, letting her directly activate her second form.

After all, if Relics were gone, he could search for more, but if his life was gone, it was really gone!

He had made up his mind!
