Legendary witch, six-winged archangel form.

Chapter 644: Legendary Witch, Six-Winged Archangel Form.

"But if you need my power, I will not hesitate." Francesca said solemnly.

Cao Xing nodded, "I understand, let's start the breakthrough now."

"Understood."

With those words, Francesca took the two items.

Then, she began the breakthrough process.

As she completely absorbed the power contained within the [Heart of Legend], auras of spiritual energy began to emanate from her body.

"Whoosh—"

In the sky above, the fluttering heavy snow seemed swept up by this power, stirring up small whirlwinds on the spot.

Afterwards, she took out the seed containing the power of nature from her hand.

She absorbed all the divine power contained within it.

With her actions, the invisible whirlwind grew larger and larger, directly lifting Francesca off the ground and causing her to float mid-air.

"Hum—!"

An even more vast spiritual energy fluctuation emerged, and Francesca officially entered the final stage of breaking through to Legendary.

Looking at the scene before him, Cao Xing felt a bit apprehensive in his heart.

He wondered if Francesca could succeed in the breakthrough on her first try.

After all, this witch only possessed Commander-level potential up to now.

Compared to the other Legendary powerhouses in the territory, whose potentials were at least Sovereign-level, she was far behind.

It was not just the gap in stats; even the success rate for breaking through to Legendary was 10% lower.

However, Cao Xing did not have any extra Sovereign souls on hand at the moment, so he could only give it a try.

If it really failed, he would just spend 10 more Divine Power Shards and let Francesca break through again.

Just as he was thinking about this, Francesca, floating in the air, underwent another change.

Her feet in crystal shoes gradually lengthened, her figure became more slender and elegant, and her dark brown hair danced in the air, as if every single strand contained infinite spiritual energy!

Her red dress fluttered violently under the agitation of the spiritual energy, and the formidable spiritual energy fluctuations swept across a dozen kilometers around!

The snowflakes floating in the sky had not yet fallen before they were directly evaporated by this power, turning into wisps of white mist that dissipated into the air.

As she gradually opened her eyes, her pupils flickered with an emerald-green light, and all movement around her subsided accordingly.

[Your territory member: Francesca has successfully broken through to a Legendary creature. The class 'Forest Witch' has automatically advanced to 'Natural Witch', and the level cap has been increased to Lv. 150.]

[This breakthrough increases base stats by 1000%, attack range by 200%, territory prosperity +500, and additionally activates the Legendary skill: Eternal Forest.]

[Francesca's 'divine power value' function has been unlocked.]

When the series of system prompts ended, Cao Xing immediately raised his head, gazing at the red figure in mid-air.

A look of pleasant surprise also appeared on his face.

"Goodness, not only did she succeed in the breakthrough, but she also additionally activated a Legendary skill!"

"That's fantastic!"

Judging from the experience of the previous few powerhouses breaking through to Legendary, whether they could activate a Legendary skill during the breakthrough process was related to their foundation.

The deeper the foundation, existences like Francesca and Isabelle who were already powerful and had lived for hundreds of years, would have a high probability of activating a Legendary skill.

As for those with a shallower foundation like Sarah and Liu Muxue, they could only activate them later through skill books or other opportunities.

With an expression of excitement, Cao Xing glanced at Francesca's new skill.

[Eternal Forest: Consumes 10 points of divine power value to quickly grow a truly existing forest in the target area. The forest covers a range of 5,000 meters, and the caster can control the plants in the forest to assist in attacking enemies.]

[Enemy units within the Eternal Forest will have their mobility reduced by 30%, and will suffer natural damage equal to 1% of the caster's maximum HP every second (natural damage will be affected by shields and other statuses).]

[Friendly units within the Eternal Forest will receive the "Natural Shelter" effect, clearing abnormal status effects from themselves every 10 seconds and restoring 5% of the caster's maximum HP.]

[The Eternal Forest effect lasts for 100 seconds. When the effect ends, the grown forest will still remain.]

[The cooldown of this skill is: 24 hours]

After reading the long description of this skill, a thoughtful look gradually emerged in Cao Xing's eyes.

"This skill is a bit complicated. It deals natural damage equal to 1% of the maximum HP per second to enemies within the forest's coverage. Relying on Francesca's current HP of 320 million, if fully inflicted, it can deal at least over 200 million damage, but it requires 100 seconds."

"And clearing abnormal effects on allies every 10 seconds and restoring 5% of the maximum HP is quite good. Even if given to Braum, it can restore at least 160 million HP."

"If combined with Bifer Blackheart's skill and Soul Link, the combination of these three skills might just directly take away a Legendary."

"Besides this, the most special and powerful aspect of this skill is not its damage value, but 'creating a truly existing forest'."

"What does this mean?"

"It meant that as long as Francesca had enough divine power value, she could even create a huge forest in just a few days."

"It could be said to be truly akin to creation-level means!"

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Not bad. With this skill, the problem of timber resources is at least solved."

As for Francesca's stats panel, there was no need to look at it in detail.

After all, she only had Commander-level potential, and her HP was 320 million.

After a series of buffs from Liu Muxue, her attack power was only 1.2 million.

Compared to other Legendary powerhouses in the territory whose attack power exceeded 1.5 million, she was much worse.

Of course, Francesca's combat power was still very powerful; fighting two Legendaries at the same time was not a problem.

"Hoo…—"

As a breeze blew past, Francesca gradually drifted down from the air.

She walked gracefully toward Cao Xing, carrying an aura of majesty and sanctity on her body, just like a forest goddess.

Compared to a few minutes ago, Francesca's body had also changed after breaking through.

Her height increased by about ten centimeters, and her facial features changed slightly, appearing more delicate and profound.

This kind of change seemed to be something every creature that broke through to the Legendary level would experience.

Cao Xing spoke first, his tone carrying approval: "Congratulations."

The witch slightly bowed, executing a standard courtesy to him.

Her voice carried respect amidst gentleness: "Thank you for your cultivation, which allowed me to step into the Legendary realm in both fields."

[Due to your help, territory member: Francesca's loyalty has increased.]

[Loyalty is full, triggering the hidden effect: Die-hard Loyalty]

Nearly three months after joining the territory, this witch finally reached 'Die-hard Loyalty' loyalty.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and continued, "Francesca, I know you don't like fighting, so next you just need to continue refining medicine in the territory."

"Leave the territory's guard work to you."

"Of course, if you really encounter a formidable enemy, you will still have to go out and fight with me."

Francesca nodded solemnly, "I understand. The power of the forest will obey your summons."

"Alright, you can go back to your work now."

"Understood."

After speaking, she turned around and left this place.

The dark red skirt hem swayed slightly, just like a blooming rose.

After Francesca left, Cao Xing sighed with emotion once more.

"A few days ago, I was still troubled over a single Legendary-level combat power."

"Who would have thought that in less than ten days, the number of my Legendary combat powers has soared to eight, about to sprint towards double digits."

"Now, those below Demigod-level basically pose no threat to me anymore!"

He felt very satisfied in his heart.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to return to the Lords Castle, he suddenly saw a flash of white light appear in the teleportation array area.

"Hum—!"

The pillar of light rushed more than ten meters high into the sky, within which a figure faintly emerged.

When the light dissipated, a valiant female knight holding a shield and a long sword appeared before him.

It was none other than Liu Muxue.

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, and he quickly walked up to greet her.

Liu Muxue on the opposite side also walked over quickly, saying happily, "Axing, I'm back."

The two met, and Cao Xing asked with a chuckle, "It's good that you're back. You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Listening to the man's concerned words, a gentle expression also appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

She shook her head gently and said, "No, I just encountered a bit of trouble in the final round of trials, but I solved it smoothly."

Hearing this, a look of approval also emerged in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Right, Muxue, how is the situation with that inheritance?"

"I have already cleared this inheritance."

Liu Muxue replied happily, "And I also obtained several items inside, take a look."

As her words fell, Liu Muxue pasted all the information about the items she obtained from the inheritance into the team channel.

They were a necklace, a mirror, and a skill book respectively.

[Obtained: Prayer Chain (Orange)]

[Obtained: Light Mirror · Illusion Breaker (Orange)]

[Obtained: Holy Baptism · World Cleansing (Legendary skill book)]

As many as two Orange equipment, plus a Legendary skill book.

Cao Xing nodded approvingly once again.

Obviously, Liu Muxue's gains in this inheritance were massive.

He glanced at the attributes one by one.

[Prayer Chain (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Level: Level 100]

[Attached Special Effect 1: Spirit +1800, Constitution +1400, Casting Speed +20%]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Angelic Shelter (When suffering magical attacks, there is a 50% probability to offset 30% of the damage from this attack)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Power of Prayer (When casting small recovery-type skills (such as Holy Heal, Slow Heal, Healing Prayer, and other skills), there is an 80% probability to reset the skill's cooldown to zero, which can be triggered up to 10 consecutive times)]

(Equipment Description: A necklace containing divine power, capable of saving people from danger at certain moments.)

[Light Mirror · Illusion Breaker (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Level: None]

[Binder: Liu Muxue]

[Unique Effect: When encountering any illusion scenario, it can release the Light of Illusion Breaking to guide the correct path, lasting for 10 minutes, Cooldown: 30 minutes]

[Combined Effect: Dual Mirror Resonance · Divine Domain (Gathering the power of the 'Light Mirror' and the 'Heart Mirror' to release a Divine Domain. In this domain, all friendly units will gain a 50% increase in abnormal resistance, and every time they are affected by abnormal effects, if successfully resisted, they will recover 5% of their max health. The Divine Domain lasts for 60 seconds, Cooldown: 10 hours.)]

"Oh? This Light Mirror, when paired with the state of mind, also has a combined effect?"

Cao Xing asked with some surprise.

Liu Muxue nodded gently, "Yes, but the state of mind is with Sister Bai Zhi, and she has already bound it."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also felt a slight bit of regret.

After all, the effect of this 'Dual Mirror Resonance · Divine Domain' was indeed very good.

After being used, combined with the 70% resistance they already possessed, it almost reached 120%.

Coupled with the bonus of [Eternal Power], it would exist permanently, and everyone would basically be immune to those abnormal skills, greatly enhancing their survivability.

And Liu Muxue also saw through Cao Xing's thoughts, saying softly, "I've already talked to Sister Bai Zhi, hoping that she can join our territory if the territory continues to expand next."

"She seems a bit tempted."

"A-Xing—do you think we should recruit her in?"

Hearing this, a strange look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

It seemed unexpected that Liu Muxue would take the initiative to recruit people into the territory for him.

However…… Bai Zhi's combat strength was indeed quite impressive.

Her powerful talent, combined with her hidden class, allowed her to control Hero-level powerhouses even at level 50.

If she were allowed to break through to Legendary, she might even be able to control Demigods!

Cao Xing replied, "Let's see about it later, I'll ask for her opinion then."

"Mhm." Liu Muxue responded softly.

Then, Cao Xing began to check the last item, which was a skill book.

[Holy Baptism · World Cleansing (Legendary skill book): Under the angel form, consume 20 points of divine power value to condense a massive amount of angel power, instantly restoring the health of all friendly units within 5000 meters to maximum.]

And inflict a blindness effect on surrounding enemies. After 3 seconds, deal 4500% purification damage to all enemies below.

Purification Damage: Deal an extra 50% damage to dark-attribute creatures, and ignore 20% armor for other enemies.

Skill Cooldown: 24 hours.]

(Note: This skill is a special Legendary skill, which can only be used by beings who have inherited the power of angels.)

"Holy shit, instantly filling up the health of all friendly units, this effect is a bit abnormal!"

What kind of concept was this?

You must know that even Isabelle's [Revelation · Anthem] could only restore one person's health to full.

And now with this skill, coupled with the witch's newly awakened [Eternal Forest] skill, Braum was equivalent to having a third and fourth life!

Even a Demigod-level powerhouse like the Watchers Leader would feel despair when facing such an unkillable shield guard!

A look of joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

These three items were all very good, and they could not only enhance Liu Muxue's combat power, but also help other territory members.

"Muxue, well done, you are getting stronger and stronger now."

But Liu Muxue shook her head and said, "That's not all. After completing all the trials, I accepted the angel power contained in the inheritance."

"Right now, my angel form has already turned into a Six-Winged Angel!"

There was a hint of excitement in her tone.

A look of surprise appeared on Cao Xing's face once again.

Then he clicked on Liu Muxue's panel to check her skill panel.

[Six-Winged Angel Form: Summon the Six-Winged Battle Angel and merge with her, transforming into the Six-Winged Battle Angel form,]

In the next 10 minutes, all attributes are increased by 200%, and new skills are additionally learned: 'angel wings · Guardian (Passive)', 'Blade of Divine Punishment', 'Descent of the Six Wings'

"Good, good, good, a 200% attribute bonus. As expected, the Six-Winged Battle Angel corresponds to my Greater Demon form."

"In this way, Liu Muxue, who already possesses Legendary combat power, gets another 200% boost. I'm afraid her combat power is completely equivalent to a high-tier Legendary powerhouse!"

An excited gleam appeared in Cao Xing's eyes. The stronger Liu Muxue was, the greater the help it would naturally be to him.

Moreover, besides the attribute enhancement, three new skills were activated under this form once again.

He glanced at the attributes one by one.

[angel wings · Guardian (Passive): When about to suffer fatal damage, automatically stretch out all angel wings to protect oneself within them and resist the damage of this attack.]

And after successfully resisting, restore 40% of one's own health. This effect can be triggered once every 6 hours.]

[Blade of Divine Punishment: The Six-Winged Battle Angel summons the Blade of Divine Punishment, targeting enemies in a fan-shaped area 2000 meters ahead,]

dealing divine damage equal to Attack Power * 548%, and attaching the effect of 'Divine Brand'.

Divine Brand: Causes all hidden skills of the target to fail, and increases the damage taken by 15%, lasting for 8 seconds.

Skill Cooldown: 3 hours]

[Descent of the Six Wings: The Six-Winged Battle Angel instantly leaves the battlefield, descending from the sky after 3 seconds, causing a knockback effect to all enemies within a 2000-meter area below.]

And release a divine shockwave, dealing area damage equal to Attack Power * 684% to them.

Skill Cooldown: 1 hour]

After reading the attributes of these three skills, Cao Xing felt extremely satisfied once again.

"Very good, two burst skills make up for the shortcoming of insufficient attack methods under the angel form."

"And a passive skill is even equivalent to a rebirth effect."

"So strong!"

Cao Xing retracted his gaze, then looked at the beauty in front of him and said,

"Muxue, you haven't slept much these past two days, go back and rest first."

"As for Bai Zhi, I can just give her some compensation later."

"Alright, A-Xing."

The woman nodded obediently, and then returned to her room.

After two consecutive days of combat, she was indeed a bit tired.

Next, Cao Xing still sat in command within the territory.

First, he contacted Bai Zhi and gave her 50 pieces of [Fresh Lizard Meat (Orange)] as compensation.

Then he received two waves of refugees and a squad of soldiers.

The territory's population increased by more than four hundred once again.

During this period, more than twenty refugees also found him, applying to leave the territory.

Cao Xing still did not try to keep them much and directly let them leave.

After all, they had just joined the territory not long ago, and no resources had been invested in these people, so it wouldn't cause any losses to Cao Xing.

Finally, he tallied it up.

In a single day today, a total of 1085 newcomers were recruited into the territory.

Among them, the number of combat personnel was 412, and the number of working personnel was 673.

Over the course of two days, Cao Xing's total territory population had almost doubled!
