Legendary Valkyrie, dual legendary fighting skills!

Malenia's eyes shifted from their original light brown to a deep, crimson red, like two burning stars!

The aura surrounding her became even more terrifying and majestic, as if she were a female war god who had experienced countless battles!

It was even more formidable than Isabelle, Bing Lan, and Sarah, the three Legendary individuals who had just broken through!

Then, Cao Xing heard a system notification.

[Your territory member: Malenia has entered a near-death state. Talent [Valkyries Body] triggered. Consumed 500 Divine Power points to transform into the Legendary Valkyrie form, duration: 1 hour.

Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent.]

[Because Malenia has entered her second form, Legendary combat skills have been activated: [God-Slaying: One Slash Decapitation], [Valkyries Wrath].]

(Note 1: In the permanent state, the 'Valkyries Body' form can be exited and closed at any time. However, after she breaks through to Legendary in her normal form, reactivating the second form will require 5000 Divine Power points.

Furthermore, dying while in the second form will not trigger the resurrection effect.)

(Note 2: In the Valkyrie's normal form, if she breaks through to Legendary and enters the second form without 5000 Divine Power points, she will not possess the combat power to leap a major rank, but will instead receive a 200% increase in all attributes.

If the Divine Power points reach 5000, she will directly possess Demigod-level combat power.)

This [Eternal Power] notification was exceptionally long.

It also noted that after entering [Valkyries Body], the full-health resurrection effect would not be triggered.

However, Cao Xing did not feel the slightest bit of anger.

On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised!

Because another effect of Eternal Power still existed.

That was the ability to exit and close the second form at any time!

What did this mean?

It meant that Malenia could switch back at any time.

And in her first form, she could also break through normally and transform into a Legendary powerhouse.

In other words, once Malenia became a Legendary creature, if she activated this second form, she would possess Demigod-level combat power!

Once she possessed Demigod-level combat power, what would Cao Xing have to fear from the Watchers or the Nightmare God Démǔ!

Damn it, he would take them all down!

Of course, Cao Xing also noticed the second notification.

After Malenia became Legendary, she would need a full 5000 Divine Power points to activate the second form again!

In other words, there was still a long way to go before Malenia could possess Demigod-level combat power.

Besides that, even if she broke through to Legendary and couldn't possess Demigod-level combat power, a 200% increase in all attributes was still far more formidable than an ordinary Legendary!

If combined with a series of bonuses, it would be no problem at all for Malenia to suppress three or four Legendary individuals on her own.

Cao Xing sighed, "5000 Divine Power points will take a long time to save up."

"Before that, let's check the attributes of the two new Legendary combat skills Malenia has activated."

He opened her skill panel.

[God-Slaying: One Slash Decapitation: Consumes 10 Divine Power points to unleash an incredibly fast sword strike against enemies within a 10-kilometer radius.

Enemies hit have a 50% chance to trigger the Dismemberment effect, while dealing (Attack Power + Agility * 95%) true damage.

Cooldown: 5 hours.]

[Valkyries Wrath: Consumes 20 Divine Power points to enter a Divine Power burst state.

Increases own all attributes by 100%, attack speed and movement speed by 50%. Additionally, all attacks carry the Destruction effect; enemies hit will have their armor reduced by 5%, stacking up to 10 times.

Duration: 100 seconds, Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"As expected of the former Valkyrie, the attributes of these two Legendary combat skills are truly monstrous!"

"Especially the latter, Valkyries Wrath; this is actually a Legendary-level status skill!"

"A 100% bonus is almost comparable to the Watchers' Blood Burn effect!" Cao Xing exclaimed in admiration.

Of course, the former, [God-Slaying: One Slash Decapitation], was also very good.

Not only was the attack range wide and the damage coefficient high,

but more importantly, this thing dealt true damage, capable of ignoring all armor!

At this moment, the more Cao Xing looked at this Valkyrie, the more he liked her.

Then, he glanced at Malenia's attributes.

[Valkyrie Remnant: Malenia]

[Race: Unknown]

[Level: 100 (Second form, cannot gain experience points)]

[Potential: Mutant Dominator]

[Divine Power: 0/10000 (Second form activated, recovers 5 Divine Power points naturally per day)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

After reading the attributes, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction once again.

Clearly, in her second form, Malenia's attributes were not inferior to the newly broken-through Bing Lan.

In fact, they were even stronger!

If she saved up 20 Divine Power points and activated [Valkyries Wrath], she would become even more terrifying!

However, the only regret was that Malenia could not level up.

If Bing Lan could reach level 150, her attributes would greatly surpass the Valkyrie.

"But that doesn't matter; I still have a Heart of Legend in my hand."

"If I can find the corresponding Relic, I can let Malenia also break through to Legendary."

"Then, I'll have her rush directly to level 150, activate the second form to increase attributes by 200%, then activate Valkyries Wrath to increase attributes by another 100%, plus some of my own blessings!"

"Perhaps, in this form, Malenia will be able to contend with Demigod-level powerhouses!"

Cao Xing thought longingly.

With this, today's gains had been fully processed.

As of now, Cao Xing possessed five Legendary combat forces!

In just one day, it could be said that the entire territory's strength had undergone a qualitative change!

You have to know, when he just started his operations in the morning, he only had Isabelle, a Legendary-level Saint Light Sage.

Now, having added four Legendary individuals in one day, this improvement was undeniably massive!

King Velen, standing nearby, was completely stunned!

He had also seen Cao Xing's action of putting Malenia into the necromancers bag.

In other words, he even wanted to hide the combat power of the four Legendary individuals, including himself.

At this moment, King Velen suddenly couldn't help but tremble.

Because he saw Cao Xing's intentions.

He was preparing to give the Blood Legion or the Watchers a big surprise!

King Velen's throat moved, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, saying: "If the Blood Legion comes to cause trouble for him now, unless a Demigod is deployed, they are likely to take a big fall."

The gaze he directed toward this young man was already filled with fear.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[Because you demonstrated powerful strength, you have won over territory member: Zevelin Dongqi. This resident's loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 85.]

Seeing the system notification, Cao Xing turned his head and looked at him with interest.

Facing his gaze, King Velen immediately averted his eyes and then revealed a fawning smile.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing ignored him.

He continued to look at his Battle Merits.

"Now, I still have 8 million Battle Merits to spend."

"And there are still quite a few good things in the Battle Merit Shop that can be exchanged."

There were many things that interested Cao Xing, but currently, what he most wanted to exchange for were naturally those Proficiency Emblems. "Currently, I have a total of 25 Expert-level Proficiency Emblems in my bag, adding up to a total of 125,000 Proficiency points."

"A few days ago, I saw that Harold's proficiency had already reached 20,000."

"In other words, I am still short by over 50,000 proficiency points, which is 11 Expert-level Proficiency Emblems, and then I can let Harold make a sprint towards becoming a Legendary Blacksmith!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing directly opened the Battle Merit Shop and started the exchange.

[Do you wish to consume 4 million Battle Merits to exchange for 20 Expert-level Proficiency Emblems?]

"Yes."

[Exchange successful, Battle Merits – 4,000,000.]

Looking at the 36 Proficiency Emblems in his bag, a look of satisfaction appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Very good, this is completely enough now."

"Even if Harold fails his first attempt and loses 100,000 proficiency points, I can still exchange for the other Proficiency Emblems and let him make another sprint!"

There was also a [Master-level Proficiency Emblem] in the Battle Merit Shop, which could increase proficiency by 50,000 points at once, with an effect 10 times that of the Expert-level Emblem.

Similarly, the price was also more than ten times higher, requiring 3 million Battle Merits to exchange for one.

Cao Xing felt the cost-performance ratio was not high, so he did not exchange for it.

"Next, let Harold try to become a Legendary Blacksmith!"

Just as he was preparing to head to the area where the blacksmith shop was located, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Cao Xing's expression shifted slightly, because he suddenly sensed something unusual.

It was as if many evil auras were rapidly approaching his territory.

Not only him, but the powerhouses in the territory above Tier 8 all sensed the appearance of these auras.

However, they had not received instructions from the Lord, so they did not act rashly, but instead secretly raised their vigilance.

Including Sarah, who had already slipped into the shadows and arrived silently by Cao Xing's side.

To prevent a repeat of the last situation, where a Legendary assassin came to the territory to assassinate Cao Xing.

Therefore, since that day, this Dark Elf had been acting as his shadow, protecting his safety at close range.

However, those auras stopped at a distance of about two kilometers, as if waiting for something.

"So blatant, are they waiting for me?"

With a hint of confusion, Cao Xing flapped his Wind Wings, carrying him directly into the air about a hundred meters up.

His gaze pierced through the ten-meter-high frost-white walls, looking outside the territory.

Because of the Blood Chaos, the sky was dyed a blood-red color, and the entire world was shrouded in a layer of crimson veil.

Even the moon at this moment had turned into a blood moon, emitting an eerie glow.

And under this blood-colored moonlight, in the snowy field ahead, stood a group of dark figures.

These figures varied in size; some were as tall as giants, others as small as children, but without exception, they all exuded an evil, frenzied aura.

Under the reflection of the blood moon, these figures appeared exceptionally twisted, as if they were evil ghosts crawling out from the depths of hell.

Pairs of pitch-black eyes were watching this territory with covetous glares.

Cao Xing recognized their identity.

"It's these guys?"

"They actually dare to come to the vicinity of my territory on their own; are they not afraid that I will slaughter them all?"

Yes, these guys were none other than the Demon race, who had had contact with Cao Xing last time at the Temple of Light.

These demons also noticed Cao Xing flying in the air, and dozens of eyes looked over simultaneously, as if they had something to say to him.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, considering whether or not to meet this group of demons.

However, he soon made his decision.

"Muxue, come with me."

Behind him, the beauty wearing the full set of Song of Light armor and holding an ancient sword walked over gracefully.

Hearing this, she spread the Wind Wings on her back without hesitation and flew toward the outside of the territory with Cao Xing.

A mass of shadow followed silently behind them.

Even before Cao Xing had Legendary combat power, he was not afraid of this group of demons.

Now, he possessed five Legendary units, and on top of that, he had bound the Demon Codex.

With just himself, he could slaughter this group of demons, and now he was completely fearless.

In the blink of an eye, they flew over the city wall and headed outside the territory.

Soon, they arrived in front of the group of demons.

At a distance of about five hundred meters, the two hovered in mid-air, watching the group of demons.

Leading them was the farm woman with the tumor on her leg, along with another human child.

Beside them were others like priests, clergymen, merchants, etc., whose seemingly ordinary human appearances hid bone-chilling evil auras.

Behind them followed a group of thin, tall, and twisted figures like telephone poles; these were the demon slaves. This group of demons looked up at the two figures in the sky, all somewhat moved.

Because, they actually felt a great threat from these two Otherworld Lords!

Compared to last time at the Church of Light headquarters, this Otherworld Lord had become stronger!

The farm woman spoke first, her voice hoarse and low: "I didn't expect that in just a few days, you would already possess Tier 10 combat power."

"The Demon Lord was indeed right—a being like you is a disaster once you grow up."

Hearing this, Cao Xing remained unmoved and said in a calm tone: "Speak, what are you doing near my territory?"

The demon resembling a child stepped forward, its dark gaze fixed on him, and said directly: "Is our race's Demon Codex in your hands?"

"That's right." Cao Xing admitted directly.

"This is our race's codex; return it to us!"

"What do you mean 'your race' or 'my race'? I picked this up on the side of the road, and since I picked it up, it's mine."

"Besides, the Demon Codex has already been bound by me, so there's no way to return it to you."

Cao Xing appeared righteous and confident.

Just kidding; he wouldn't even return the two sacred codices of the God of Light, let alone the Demon Codex.

Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed across the face of the child demon.

He said eerily: "No… there is another way."

"That is, as long as we kill you, the Demon Codex will lose its binder."

"Naturally, it will return to our hands."

As he finished speaking, a monstrous demonic energy surged from him, as if to dye the blood-red sky pitch black again!

The group of demons beside him also released terrifying demonic energy!

These auras even contained strong mental corruption, as if countless whispers were echoing in their ears, attempting to disturb their minds and destroy their wills.

If it were an ordinary Master-level powerhouse, they would likely have already had a mental breakdown or even fallen into madness under this power, but Cao Xing was not only unmoved, he even raised a smile of interest.

"Interesting, so you are… wanting to make a move on me?"

"Are you sure you have considered the consequences?"

A playful glint flashed in his eyes.

The child demon sneered: "Consequences? What kind of consequences do you want us to pay?"

"Do you think that just because you have Hero-level combat power, you can act recklessly?"

"Poor little guy, you cannot imagine how vast the power of our Demon race is."

"Even if we were to wipe you out, it would only take the snap of a finger."

A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face, "Is that so? I would very much like to experience the power of your Demon race."

As he finished speaking, a vast magical power gradually erupted from him!

He raised his staff, and the ice elements in the air were mobilized by him.

Meteorites carrying a destructive aura appeared, obscuring the sky.

Beside him, Liu Muxue had already raised the [Ancient Sword], and a terrifying pressure gradually permeated the area.

Even before transforming into her Four-Winged Angel form, she made this group of demons feel an extreme sense of oppression!

Clearly, Cao Xing had decided to wipe out this group of demons in one wave of forbidden spells!

Seeing this, the battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

The farm woman quickly stood out and said sternly: "Calovien, shut up!"

"We are here to discuss matters with this human Lord."

"Or are you saying you want to disobey the Demon Lord's orders?"

Hearing this, the aura of the demon resembling a child weakened instantly, and its killing intent was also restrained.

Cao Xing remained unmoved, gripping the staff in his hand, ready to release the Doomsday Ice Star at any moment.

The farm woman with the tumor on her leg turned her head and said: "Lord Cao Xing, you should still remember the matter you promised us last time, right."

Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, and he feigned puzzlement: "What matter?"

Seeing him like this, the farm woman with the tumor on her leg frowned.

But she still reminded him: "Last time at the Church of Light headquarters, you promised us that you would hand over the corpse of the Seed of Light to us."

"From now on, the grudges between you and our Demon race will be wiped clean."

Hearing it mention this, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"So that's what you're talking about; I do recall now—"

The farm woman with the tumor on her leg breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a look of hope appeared in her eyes.

She asked tentatively: "Then, can you fulfill your promise now?"

Cao Xing scratched his head a bit embarrassedly and said: "Sorry, you are a step too late."

"A few days ago, the territory didn't have enough food, so this guy's corpse was eaten by the Blood Spider in my territory; by now, it has probably turned into feces."

At this moment, the smile on the farm woman's face stiffened.

Including the other demons, they all looked at Cao Xing in shock.

Seeming to confirm whether he was joking or serious.

The farm woman with the tumor on her leg took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart.

She patiently continued to ask: "Human, this kind of thing cannot be joked about!"

"You promised us back then that you would hand over the corpse of the Seed of Light to our Demon race."

"Now, do you want to unilaterally break the contract?"
