My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Red mist pervaded, and within the fragmented swampland, Duo Lai and several others stepped in.

It, Sophia, Lu Liu, Xi Liu, and Xie Yi all possessed hero identities, granting them the authority to execute purification.

"Let's get started."

"Although this Pillar of Filth seems to be a while away from truly solidifying, it's better to finish up early."

Sophia stretched out her hand, and a pure white Light of Purification soared into the sky, dispersing the red mist that had loomed over this territory unfazed by storms or energy blasts.

The light fell upon the land.

The Corruption that enveloped from all sides was immediately weakened significantly.

...

"Has it begun?"

The Battle Armor General lit a cigarette, standing far outside the swampland, gazing into the distance.

Very few actually ventured in, after all, the density of the red mist around the Pillar of Filth was almost as intense as in the Red Mist Land. Even those in the Legendary Realm needed to take precautions; otherwise, they might be tainted by the Corruption, which would become troublesome to cleanse later on.

Outside this already shattered swamp, numerous Elite Legions had completely sealed off the sky, the ground, and all directions.

They were killing the monsters that strayed over while also guarding against any potential hidden enemies.

"After all, such temporary Heart of Corruption often serves as an advanced post for top Monster powers to march into the outer world, which Dragon Sleep Valley must regard with utmost importance."

Could it be that only a few Crimson Dragons were responsible for establishing the outpost, placing and protecting the Pillar of Filth?

The few Crimson Dragons were not weak, equivalent to the Epic Heaven and Earth Realm, possessing combat power that soared above most ordinary Legendaries.

Yet, within Dragon Sleep Valley, the Crimson Dragons were merely the most basic High-level Combat Units.

The Battle Armor General understood this well.

"There's a good chance there are higher-ranking Dragon Sleep Valley commanders hidden in the vicinity; I can't afford to let my guard down."

"Fortunately, the generals and warriors from Tianyuan City seem very cautious as well, and they've even maintained the Army Spirit in a semi-resonant state, ready to materialize at any moment."

Several hundred ghostly spirits drifted in midair like gusts of a cold breeze;

Armored skeleton warriors pulled bones from their own bodies to use as Bone Spears, killing High-order Monsters in a single strike;

Warriors formed ranks, and archers occupied various high points, readying their arrows.

"Very elite, indeed elite."

"It's hard to imagine that these legions were only trained for a little over a year. Three Army Spirit Legions!"

"Perhaps this is what emerges from slicing through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, slaughtering until monsters lie dead and the bloody storm is thoroughly quelled: Veteran Warriors."

In the history of the Tai Xuan Alliance, aside from its first decade, there hadn't been a Lord like Lord Tianyuan, who had to fight his way through to carve out a path to safety.

Normally, Lords would get on track after passing the Lord Trial, facing some turbulence and calamities during the Lian Yue disaster, but that's only during the Lian Yue cataclysm.

Lord Tianyuan endured disasters throughout his journey. His Lord Trial was known as the most difficult, and the Lian Yue disaster he faced was the largest in this past decade.

His territory had even fallen deep into the wilderness, an ordeal unprecedented.

Other famous Lords might have also encountered many dangers and calamities, but these were external, hardships they actively sought out on their own ventures.

They still had the chance to choose.

Lord Tianyuan did not.

It may have been such calamities that forged the battle-hardened Veteran Warriors.

...

Time ticked away.

Purifying such a Pillar of Filth took considerably longer than cleansing a regular Root of Corruption.

Despite the presence of several heroes, the duration of purification still reached 26 minutes.

A long time.

During this period, influenced by the red mist, the Elite Legions stationed outside the swampland also repelled and killed quite a few attacking monsters.

Among them were High-order Monsters.

A surge of monsters that had gathered was wiped out by the Skeleton Legion.

To the Battle Armor General's surprise, until the white light completely cleansed the Pillar of Filth and the red mist visibly dissipated, the unexpected events he had been on alert for still...

Did not occur.

The invading High-order Monsters and the surging waves of monsters seemed no different from calm waters in his eyes.

"Was I overly cautious?"

The Battle Armor General muttered, "Anyway, the Pillar of Filth has been purified, and that's a good thing. The alarm can truly be lifted now."

...

Experience more on empire

Inside the Land of Filth, the red mist slowly receded, and a huge column with half its surface covered in red patterns, as if it was an ancient building weathered by a thousand years, just drifted away in the wind until it vanished.

"It's over, isn't it."

A beam of sky light shone down.

The bounty of Heaven and Earth was pervasive in the air.

Half an hour earlier, within Tianyuan City.

Mu Yuan's eyes shimmered, reflecting several images at once.

Among them were the scenes of Duo Lai and the others, as well as that of the Elite Legions.

Beyond that, there were areas within Tianyuan City, the silhouettes of trees in the Crimson Great Forest, and so on.

Mu Yuan's thoughts expanded like a net, connecting various Elite squads located in the wilderness.

While half of the elite soldiers gathered outside the Tainted Swampland, the rest remained amidst the wilderness, in the process of...

"The main battlefield's conflict has concluded, and the remaining fronts can be wrapped up as well."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Team 36, circumvent from high ground D26 to snipe at the enemy."

"Teams 41 and 43, encircle and attack from both sides."

"The 15th Main Force will encircle and kill the remnants of Blood Serpent's Remnants Legend, with Lian Yue leading the charge."

...

"On battlefield three, Team 27, attack led by 'Bone Two' and Bone Three."
