My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

But those three top warriors from Dragon Sleep Valley, all six eyes were fixed on a distant figure, whom they deemed as insignificant as ants.

The figure was clothed in a robe, holding a sword in one hand, his whole body soaked in blood.

There was blood of the Crimson Dragon, and there was his own blood as well.

Sword Lord Liushi was injured, even seriously so, yet a look of obsession and madness gradually emerged on his face.

Why did he always fight alone?

When he was crazed, friend and foe alike would be indistinguishable.

But because of this, the high-ranking existences in the blood-drenched Dragon Sleep Valley also harbored fear in their eyes.

In this world above the Red Mist, it was Sword Lord Liushi who represented the 'crimson' side.

The three warriors of Ice Burial Duke symbolized the colors 'black', 'yellow', and 'tricolor'.

The crimson thickened, constantly tearing through the Azure Sky.

Black, yellow, tricolor—three different concepts and laws, all repeatedly shattered.

Ice Burial Duke overlooked the land further away, "You humans have already fallen into disadvantage, what's the use of dragging us here? You might as well convert to our Flesh Immortality."

Sword Lord Liushi still wielded his sword heedlessly.

Scales on the brow of Ice Burial Duke shattered, then grew back again.

"I have studied your Tai Xuan's military strategies, one of which is called feinting to the east while attacking in the west. The main attack position is not here, right?"

Sword Lord Liushi still gave no response, continuing his unrelenting assault.

Ice Burial Duke didn't care either, simply talking to himself, "You're holding us here, intending to disrupt the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth, but I've already spun a vast net for you."

He was not certain.

They were indeed dragged here; there weren't many strong warriors they could call upon outside their main base.

However, the reason why Ice Burial Duke was deeply trusted by the Twilight King was his thoroughness in handling matters.

He was adept at making contingency plans.

"Indeed, other legends from Tai Xuan have entered the Shattered Isles."

...

"Indeed, the enemy has arrived, quicker than we expected."

Mu Yuan was not surprised.

He was used to making hundreds of contingency plans.

Even if Sword Lord Liushi was unreliable and the siege team broke down early, he had a counter-strategy in place. Still, this was the worst-case scenario.

Encountering an enemy assault before the position was established was just one of many common mishaps.

He knew very well that whatever the plan or strategy, in the end, everything depended on strength.

He said, "The battle zone will be fully established in three hours. By then, the rules will materialize, the ownership of heaven and earth will change... All we need to do is repel this wave of enemies, that's enough."

He looked behind him.

A cleansing column of light stood like a crystal pillar upon the earth.

Their task was to guard the crystal pillar and prevent it from being destroyed.

As for the enemy...

The black tide made a surging noise, with red clouds billowing in the distance.

One after another, legendary monsters stood atop the red clouds, growing larger within their field of vision.

Elephant men, giants, trolls, steel behemoths...

And the Direct Lineage powerhouses from Dragon Sleep Valley, the Crimson Dragons.

These monsters riding on clouds all shared a common trait—huge size and burly muscles.

After all, they were the creatures of the Flesh Immortality Faction, who revered building up flesh and believed that bigger meant stronger.

"Don't panic, if it's just these legendary monsters, we can hold them off," said the Green Mountain Lord to the others, and to himself.

"This situation is already better than the peril we were expecting by quite a bit..."

Before he could finish the word 'better'.

Great swathes of Red Mist corrupted their way from a distance.

Everyone held firm to the Light of Will.

After the Red Mist storm had passed, strong warriors like Green Mountain and Rain Dust realized that the corrosive force wasn't as strong as anticipated.

"Wait, something's wrong..."

The domain of Green Mountain Lord suddenly contracted.

His pupils shrank...

"The Power, the Power of Heaven and Earth...!"

'Alert: Due to special factors, current Heaven-Earth Seal activated, entering "Dustless State."'

'Alert: "Dustless State" remaining time—00:59:59.'

In other words, elemental particles throughout the entire realm were stripped away.

The world entered a state akin to a vacuum.

Under such conditions, the Power of Heaven and Earth that legends could wield was rendered useless.

Warriors could only rely on their own energy reserves and, importantly, physical strength.

But,

for the enemy... the creatures of the Flesh Immortality Faction, who excelled at forging their flesh, this was their advantageous period!

Green Mountain, Rain Dust, the Sword Saint Tianhe, and other strong warriors were well aware of this.

Mu Yuan was somewhat aware of it as well. Discover exclusive content at empire

He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscular arms, smooth and taut, exuding a strong sense of power.

He, too, was a man who had used the talent "Reaping What You Sow" to train for a better part of the day.

Moreover...

"The obvious weakness of legends being restricted by the Power of Heaven and Earth, I've long taken notice of that."

Was this also considered an accident?
