The tide turns, and the desperate army of survivors. (6000)

Once these words were spoken, the chat channels of the four major factions fell silent.

Indeed…

Even if they paid a huge price to seize the Main City.

How many people would die? How many resurrection chances would be used up?

And who would be willing to be the one sacrificed?

This is the fundamental difference between Cao Xing and the four major factions.

With the Crystal Authority, all Branded Monsters were absolutely loyal to his commands!

Even if Cao Xing ordered them all to self-destruct right now, they would execute it without hesitation.

While the Survivors were numerous, they lacked a single entity capable of commanding the overall situation.

To make so many people fearlessly charge together was simply impossible!

Moreover, Cao Xing would not give them much time to think.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Survivors had stopped attacking.

He continued to control the Branded Monsters in the city, destroying the houses, streets, and some special buildings in the Main City to obtain more gold points.

Up to this point, Cao Xing had understood one thing.

That was, as long as he did not attack the statues in the city, he would not trigger the counterattack of that mysterious will!

In this way, he could earn gold points with peace of mind!

"Rumble…"

And as building after building was destroyed, they collapsed with a roar.

The Survivors of the four major factions were also being spammed with various system prompts.

The system was frantically urging them to recapture the Main City as soon as possible.

The leaders of the various legions also felt extremely anxious.

However, facing the dark mass of figures on the city walls that almost covered the sky.

Everyone fell silent.

They could only watch as the monsters in the city continued to destroy the Main City's buildings.

No one dared to step into that three-kilometer death zone!

In this extremely oppressive atmosphere, time passed slowly…

In the blink of an eye, it was around six o'clock in the evening.

The buildings in the entire city were almost completely demolished by Cao Xing!

The destruction progress of the four major Main Cities had also exceeded 90%!

Including the killing of the four major Divine Servant Legions and the destruction of these buildings today.

He had accumulated 7.6324 million gold points!

What a staggering number this was, it went without saying!

At this moment, Cao Xing was overjoyed!

"Hahaha! So satisfying!"

"I've made a fortune today!"

Originally, he thought he could obtain at most a few million gold points in the next half month.

As it turned out, he could actually gather ten million gold points to exchange for a scale or exchange for that drop of Ancient Dragon blood.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with infinite anticipation!

And after this series of events.

The number of people in the live stream had soared to 1.5 billion!

It was even about to surpass the number of people on the first day of the Battle of the Oracle!

Everyone had heard the news.

The world's top ten million Survivor lords were blocked outside the spawn point by a person named Cao Xing!

Now, even the Main City was about to be destroyed.

It was truly an eye-opener!

Although he borrowed the power of those Branded Monsters from the entire Crystal Land.

But the fact was, regardless of whether he used other means, Cao Xing had accomplished it.

The live stream barrage flew by crazily, and the Survivors felt that today's live stream was truly spectacular.

On the world forum, various posts about Cao Xing kept appearing.

Unlike the revelry of the Survivors watching the live stream outside.

The Survivors of the four major factions were looking depressed.

During this time, they had organized several large-scale attacks, all of which were directly suppressed by Cao Xing with the most ferocious stance!

And those Survivors who resurrected in the city were also directly cleared out.

So… now no one dared to charge.

"Brothers, what do we do now?"

"There are six hours left until midnight. When the time comes, the Ancient Dragon will release the erasure magic, and we will all be wiped out."

"Yeah, even if we resurrect, we will continue to appear in the Main City and then be wiped out by him in one go."

"Damn it, we're in big trouble now…"

For a time, everyone was caught in a dilemma…

Because this meant that after today, it would very likely be the last day for these millions of them to stay in the Battle of the Oracle.

If they had disregarded everything at the beginning and concentrated everyone's power to attack the Main City, there would have been a high probability of seizing the four major Main Cities.

Of course, this would have resulted in heavy casualties.

At least half of the people would have been cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle by Cao Xing because their resurrection chances were used up.

Furthermore, every Survivor lord was independent, and no one wanted to be among that half.

At this moment, another Survivor gritted his teeth and said.

"Damn it, Cao Xing moved most of the monsters near those crystals to guard the city; now the number of monsters around those crystals is very small."

"How about we forget about the Main City and just go back to destroy the crystals? Let's all go down together!"

However, another person shook his head and said.

"It's useless. Cao Xing had already thought of this, so he left tens of thousands of Branded Monsters to guard the crystal strongholds."

"In the remaining six hours, we simply can't destroy many crystals."

"Once the time comes and the Ancient Dragon's magic descends, we will all be wiped out."

Hearing this, the Survivors' hearts were once again filled with expressions of despair!

At the same time, the figure of that man appeared in their minds simultaneously.

It was true; he had cut off the retreat for their millions.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of frustration.

Because this meant that they, the world's top ten million Survivors, had actually lost to one person.

Although he used the power of the Branded Monsters, a loss is a loss…

After all, a few days ago, when Cao Xing was being frantically hunted by the Divine Servant Legions, they were also mocking him wantonly.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was around seven o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, Cao Xing continued to control the Branded Monsters, preparing to wait until midnight to directly clear these Survivors out.

However, at this moment, Cao Xing's heart tightened, and a strong sense of palpitation emerged.

This palpitation was exactly the same as when he was preparing to attack the statue before!

It was as if some kind of power was about to erupt!

"Damn! I haven't even attacked the statue, yet the will behind the Main City is still going to launch an attack?"

In this instant, Cao Xing hurriedly gave the order: "Muxue, Assam, Bjorn, Long Yu!"

"Take all the Branded Monsters and get out quickly!"

The four of them heard the seriousness in Cao Xing's tone simultaneously.

And they executed it without hesitation.

"Swish…"

A massive number of Branded Monsters rushed out from the Main City gates!

When the Survivors saw that those Branded Monsters were no longer guarding the city and were rushing towards them, covering the sky and earth.

Joy immediately appeared on their faces!

"Huh? It seems Cao Xing has given up on defending and brought the Branded Monsters out."

"Brothers, we have a chance!"

However, when they saw those Branded Monsters charging while firing crystal shells forward!

A massive amount of destructive attacks suddenly appeared in the sky above,

A crisis of death struck!

Everyone immediately reacted!

"Holy crap! They're coming for us!"

"Run!"

In an instant, a large number of Survivors took to their heels.

After all, the sight of that massive number of monsters rushing over was too oppressive!

Even the strongest individuals with firm minds could not help but feel intimidated when facing the charge of hundreds of millions of Branded Monsters.

However, they discovered that these Branded Monsters did not seem to want to finish them off.

But rather wanted to carve out a path.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the sky, all flying units launched saturated attacks on the area below, instantly killing swaths of Survivors.

And everyone raised their weapons to counterattack at the first opportunity.

However, at this moment, the ground began to shake violently.

Countless Branded Minotaurs rushed over frantically, knocking away all obstacles in front of them.

They forcibly carved out a path through the massive number of Survivors.

Then, all the Branded Monsters followed this group of cannon fodder Minotaurs, charging along this path into the distance.

Soon, ninety percent of the Branded Monsters had completely retreated from the Main City!

The Survivors watched the Branded Monsters gradually moving away and also gradually stopped attacking.

Everyone looked confused.

"Strange, why are these Branded Monsters not guarding the city anymore?"

"Could it be that Cao Xing has had a change of heart?"

And right at this moment.

In the four major Main Cities, those four statues suddenly erupted with a brilliant and dazzling light!

"Hum!"

A boundless and vast divine power suddenly erupted!

Sweeping across like a tidal wave.

Spreading directly from the center of the city, instantly enveloping the entire Main City.

All the Branded Monsters remaining in the city that had not managed to retreat, whether they were elites, bosses, or even leader-level, were all evaporated on the spot…

Although the Survivors did not know what had happened, they understood one thing.

That was, the four major Main Cities seemed to have been saved!

"Damn! So the statues in the city have this effect."

"Hahaha! Great, our home base is saved!"

"Brothers, hurry back to the Main City and occupy the wall positions. If Cao Xing attacks us again later, we'll be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the Survivors instantly realized this and all swarmed into the four major Main Cities.

Some of the Survivors seemed prepared to do the opposite.

Since the Main City was saved, they would continue to destroy the crystals.

However, at this moment, a massive number of Branded Monsters rushed towards them again!

Cao Xing directly controlled the massive number of Branded Monsters and launched a surprise counter-attack.

"Boom! Boom!"

The ground shook violently!

Those Survivors who were still lingering outside the Main City were directly bombarded and killed by Cao Xing!

Expressions of shock appeared on everyone's faces simultaneously.

They shouted in terror.

"Holy crap! He really came back!"

"Damn it, hurry back to the Main City and hold it!"

Soon, the Survivors, almost at the fastest speed, all rushed into the Main City!

And when Cao Xing still wanted to launch a saturated artillery strike on the Main City from several kilometers away.

He suddenly saw an invisible defensive shield rise up!

"Hum!"

This defensive shield directly enveloped the entire Main City.

The massive artillery attacks only caused ripples when they landed on it.

Even the Dragon Speaker slashed out several times, but it had no effect.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's eyes narrowed.

"Has the power behind the Main City intervened again?"

"In this way, the idea of directly destroying the four major Main Cities and clearing out all the Survivors has fallen through."

Cao Xing felt a bit regretful and had the Branded Monster army retreat a certain distance.

At the same time, the other Survivors saw the defensive shield above their heads and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wow, I didn't expect the Main City to have this effect; it actually created an invincible defensive shield to protect us."

"Did the system intervene? It's afraid that if we are cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle, this event won't be able to continue."

"I guess so. If we all leave and only Cao Xing is left here, then it will directly be judged as a failure for the four major factions."

"Who cares? This way, we don't have to worry about Cao Xing leading the Branded Monster to attack the main city."

Everyone nodded in deep agreement.

After all, this really sounded like something that madman would do!

If it weren't for this defensive barrier, he would definitely have controlled a massive amount of Branded Monster to attack and wipe out all the Survivor.

With this defensive barrier, the Survivor felt a sense of security.

Otherwise, they were truly afraid that while they were staying there peacefully, Cao Xing would suddenly manipulate a large number of Branded Monster to focus fire on them!

At the same time, everyone recovered from the shock of almost being cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle.

Looking at the devastated main city and those ruins, they suddenly felt a surge of anger.

"This Cao Xing is truly a scoundrel, bombing our main city into such a state."

"Stop complaining, brother. At least he left us something, just be content!"

"Yeah…"

At the same time, another Survivor said: "Brothers, what do we do now? Should we continue to defend the city, or go out together to topple more dragon crystals?"

"Forget it, haven't you seen those dark, looming figures outside?"

There were only a few hours left until midnight.

They dared not go out to deal with these dragon crystals anymore.

Didn't you see that there were so many Branded Monster waiting for them outside?

I'm afraid if these Survivor dared to go out, they would immediately be bombarded by Cao Xing's massive horde of Branded Monster!

So, everyone waited silently in the main city.

Soon…

Time reached 00:00…

Following a dragon's roar, the power of the dragon enveloped the entire plane.

"Buzz… buzz…"

The crystal land was gradually activated.

Dark purple mist rose up, also shrouding the figures of Cao Xing's army of hundreds of millions of Branded Monster.

The sixteenth day of battle ended…

And at this moment, Cao Xing heard a system notification.

[Survivor Cao Xing, please note that the sixteenth day of battle has ended. Rewards are being calculated…]

[Number of crystals destroyed today: 1106. Remaining crystal quantity: 27652 * 16 days = 442432]

[Main crystal has been saved for 16 days, obtained gold point: 16…]

[Because of your proper command, you won a large-scale battle. Primary Command Technique proficiency increased by 784 points.]

[Primary Command Technique has been upgraded to Intermediate Command Technique.]

…

The series of system notifications made a smile curl onto Cao Xing's lips once again!

"Very good, the number has indeed decreased significantly."

"Only one thousand one hundred dragon crystals were destroyed today."

"Although there was an unexpected incident where the main city statue erupted midway."

"But this way, I only need to carry out the third step of the plan, and I can hold out until the last day!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing's mood became even better!

He glanced at the upgraded Command Technique.

[Intermediate Command Technique: 673/1000]

[Skill Effect: Overall attack power +2%, morale +2%]

…

Compared to the Primary Command Technique, the attack power increased by another one percent.

Although it doesn't look like much, it is an overall bonus.

It is still very powerful.

"Very good, I feel like it won't be long before I can upgrade to Advanced Command Technique, and then directly use the Expert-level Emblem to push this skill to Expert-level."

"The attack power of my warriors can be increased by another notch."

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

Then, he teleported directly to the side of one of the outer crystal strongholds.

Assam and Liu Muxue had already returned, leading a large number of warriors.

Including the Dragon Speaker in the sky, who was also controlling that Crystal Dragon as it slowly descended.

Like warriors returning in triumph, they stood before Cao Xing with excited expressions.

Everyone appeared very excited!

"Lord!"

The excitement in their hearts was beyond words!

After all, today they swept away the depression of the previous few days and completely wiped out the God's Servant Legion.

They even fought their way into the four major main cities; it could be said they washed away their past shame!

Cao Xing chuckled and said: "Everyone, how do you feel!"

At this moment, the Wild Boar Warrior shouted: "I feel better than ever before!"

"Today's battle allowed us to slaughter in all directions."

"Lord is truly omnipotent, hahaha!"

The Ascalon Warriors on the other side also said excitedly.

"Under Lord's command, even the gods' legions cannot stop us!"

"Lord will prevail!"

Including those Silver Hand Knights and Tribal Witch Doctor, all looked at Cao Xing with fanatical expressions.

The events that happened today not only overturned the imagination of all Survivor in the world.

Even these people under Cao Xing did not expect things to develop this way.

In an instant, everyone's loyalty increased by a large margin!

Cao Xing smiled.

"Very good, I am also very satisfied with your performance today."

"Now, everyone go back and rest!"

"Tomorrow morning, I have new tasks to assign to you!"

Hearing that last sentence, all the warriors' eyes immediately lit up, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel expectant!

"As you command, Lord!"

After speaking, they returned to their tents with excitement.

Soon, only Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were left here.

Liu Muxue said softly: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his lips and shook his head: "Not for now, today's harvest was pretty good."

"I want to digest these points and use them to improve my strength."

Liu Muxue nodded gently and then silently accompanied him by his side.

Cao Xing was about to open the points shop to redeem rewards.

But before that, he first glanced at the points leaderboard.

[Five Major Factions Points Leaderboard]

[1st Place: Cao Xing, Cumulative Points: 17.4456 million, Affiliated Faction: Crystal Dragon Faction]

[2nd Place: Angelina Zorn, Cumulative Points: 1,513,217, Affiliated Faction: Nature Goddess Faction]

[3rd Place: Wang Tao, Cumulative Points: 1,368,238, Affiliated Faction: Order Goddess Faction]

[4th Place: Caleb Freck, Cumulative Points: 1,347,827, Affiliated Faction: Wind Goddess Faction]

[5th Place: Omar, Cumulative Points: 1,326,912, Affiliated Faction: Life Goddess Faction]

[6th Place…]

…

Cao Xing's full 17 million points were daunting!

This terrifying number even exceeded the second place by ten times!

"Very good… destroying the main city and the God's Servant Legion today allowed me to reap a massive amount of points."

"Earlier, I consumed 7 million points to redeem one dragon heart and fifty Master-level Heart of Power."

"Now, the points I can spend amount to 10.44 million!"

At this moment, Cao Xing felt a bit like he had become rich overnight.

With so many points, he could even directly redeem those 10 million dragon scales or dragon blood!

After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to first redeem all the remaining four [dragon heart] in the points shop.

After all, this thing is a solid 20% boost, and it has a 100% success rate.

It is a great help to both himself and Liu Muxue.

So, Cao Xing opened the points shop.

[Consume 8 million points? Redeem dragon heart * 4?]

"Yes…"

As Cao Xing clicked confirm, four hearts as brilliant as rubies appeared in his backpack again!

Then, he called Liu Muxue and Sarah over and gave each of them one.

The three of them started to absorb the power contained in these [dragon heart] together.

As waves of powerful energy were absorbed by them.

At this moment, Cao Xing only felt his body filled with a scorching power!

This power made him feel extremely painful!

It was as if he were being boiled directly in boiling water.

Before long, Cao Xing's skin became as red as a cooked shrimp!

Including Liu Muxue and Sarah beside him, both also had their brows tightly furrowed.

A wisp of smoke kept rising from their heads, and it seemed they were also enduring that intense pain.

"Damn it… I almost forgot, the note on the dragon heart mentioned that absorbing it would cause extremely intense pain."

"I saw that woman Bing Lan absorbing it without changing her expression before, so I thought it was nothing!"

Cao Xing complained in his heart while enduring that intense pain.

A moment later, his face had already become twisted.

From head to toe, there was almost no place that didn't hurt.

Even his brain felt like it was being pricked by needles.

In that extreme pain, Cao Xing felt his consciousness becoming a bit unclear.

Vaguely, he seemed to see that dragon with dark blue scales on its body again…

A vast white space appeared before his eyes.

He couldn't see anything around, only endless pure white.

Above his head, a dragon was floating in mid-air.

It was currently in a curled-up state, with its wings folded and eyes closed.

However, compared to the last time he saw it, the aura on this dragon had become even weaker.

At the same time, it struggled to open its eyes and stared at Cao Xing with those deep pupils.

A voice came to his ears.

"Chosen one… you succeeded…"

"Continue to keep it up…"

Just when Cao Xing wanted to open his mouth to talk to it, his consciousness suddenly returned!

He returned from that special pure white space to the crystal land.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[You have successfully absorbed the dragon heart, all attributes +20%…]

…

In that instant, the three of them simultaneously recovered from that state.

"Hoo…"

Cao Xing exhaled a breath of scorching air.

That extreme pain had disappeared; now, he only felt that he was full of power!
