Chapter 452 Harvest and Situation (4K)_2
...
"Number Four battlefield, special units allowed, Tree Demon Granny's incarnate seeds."
As the Ten Directions Island Domain experienced turbulence, the hidden Wisdom Monsters in the darkness also gradually became active.
Apparently, they were well aware that with Tianyuan City's army on distant expeditions and the strong far away, Tianyuan City itself might have become vulnerable.
Just earlier, within a mere few hours, sixteen fourth-order Wisdom Monsters had been rooted out by the patrols of Tianyuan City and the incarnations of Sophia's first and second forms.
Each of them was a powerhouse among their rank, with the strongest being of the top hundred standards on the Dragon Gate Ranking.
However, the majority of these Wisdom Monsters had been executed before they could even set foot within the territory of Tianyuan City. The strongest monster had stealthily approached the outer district of Tianyuan City, only to be discovered by Sophia's Black Crow within a few hundred meters.

Without the standard of the legendary Faceless Ones, infiltrating Tianyuan City was not so easy.
Mu Yuan had already set up at least a dozen lines of defense, whether hidden or visible, in and around Tianyuan City, and he often used the Lord's Vision to roam his territory to prevent unforeseen events.
Perhaps Tianyuan City's defenses were too stringent; a legendary realm monster that intended to infiltrate sensed that it was impossible and tactically retreated.
This posed a little trouble for Mr. Mu.
Lord Shepherd had Jun execute a long-range harassment to detain the legendary creature, and then dispatched Qing Shuang, Han Shuang, Bai Li, and other Great General level powerhouses to finally capture the legendary creature.
He had to admit, "Dragon Sleep Valley indeed tied up most of Tianyuan City's forces, so much so that dealing with a mere creature from the Legendary Realm required significant mobilization."
He nearly had to take action himself to provide long-range support to Jun and the others.
Even Tianyuan City itself suffered numerous harassments, and the mines and outposts, isolated outside, faced intense attacks and some losses.
After all, various mines had also drawn some forces to create disturbances that shook the entire Ten Directions Island Domain.
But Mu Yuan was prepared.
He was on guard against these unscrupulous legendary monsters that might attack their small mines.
In the eyes of the Wisdom Monsters, the elite squads of Tianyuan City were merely scattering, sweeping, and slowly spreading out in search.
But in Mu Yuan's eyes, these elite squads were the nodes of a large net, his eyes, his hands.
With a vast wilderness map emerging in his mind, using these elite squads themselves and the paths they trekked, Mu Yuan could determine which areas were safe, which were dangerous, and which were yet to be decided.
If the legendary monsters were to strike, it was most likely they would appear from those areas.
Primary squads like Sickle Moon Squad and Bone Two Squad had thus moved forward to those potential areas, ready to act at any moment.
Three hundred kilometers north of the third mine.
A legendary creature from Blood Snake Encase knelt on the ground.
With cold serpent eyes, it stared at the approaching elite humans who were slowly enveloping it. It couldn't fathom how it had come to such a state.
Previously, it was their Blood Snake Encase, Fang of the Jackal Wolf in the open, their forces spread out, and the humans' forces converging. The humans struck hard against the weak, the many against the few, and they were defeated time and again.
But now, even though the humans were openly scattered and even though it certainly wasn't hunted by any of Tianyuan City's Great General-level powerhouses, it...
Still lost.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Defeated by the utterly ordinary, inconspicuous elite of Tianyuan City.
And before this, how much time has passed since then?
Only half a year.
"Just half a year?" It was only upon this reflection that the Blood Serpent Legend suddenly realized this unbelievable fact.
"Tianyuan City must not be..."
The Bone Spear whistled through the air, with the force to shatter mountains, engulfing the Blood Serpent Legend within it.
...
'Ding~!'
Mu Yuan withdrew the 90% of mental threads he had spread out and rubbed his slightly swollen head.
At that moment, the notification sounded timely—it must be that Duo Lai, Lu Liu, and the others had finished cleansing the Pillar of Filth.
'Notification: Your heroes "Duo Lai," "Lu Liu," "Sophia,"... have cleansed the "Heart of Corruption (Temporary)" and received Heaven and Earth's Gift.'
'Notification: Your heroes have cleansed more than one source of corruption in this battle. Would you like to merge all the Heaven and Earth's Gifts to enhance the level of the gift? (Merging for enhancement is only available within the same battle, same territory ownership)'
As for what constitutes the same battle? The interpretation is up to Heaven and Earth.
Previously, when they eradicated the Orochi Clan and cleansed the remnants of corruption from the Black Crow Clan and Blood Serpent Encase, Heaven and Earth did not categorize it as the same battle.
What's special this time?
The heroes didn't even have time to cleanse the Root of Corruption on their way.
Suddenly,
'Ding!'
'Notification: Your hero "Dead Bone" has cleansed the "Heart of Corruption (Temporary)" and can receive Heaven and Earth's Gift.'
"Prompt: Would you like to integrate the Heaven and Earth's Gift?"
Somewhere, the sky was dark and gloomy.
A purifying white light slowly retracted.
This white light did not pierce through the dark and heavy clouds, but merely dispersed the drifting Red Mist and cleansed the Root of Corruption covered in red veins.
Around the devastated land, skeletons were scattered everywhere.
The massive Undead Tide had reduced to less than one tenth, and countless Legendary Realm Undead Beings had fallen here.
However,
At the depths of the skeletal remains, an Undead suddenly opened its eyes, and the Soul Flame rekindled within the depths of its pupils.
...
"Prompt: You have integrated the Heaven and Earth's Gift, the tier of the gift has been elevated."
"Upgrade: You have obtained the Epic Miracle Building 'Ice and Fire Double Heaven (Fire)'."
——
"Ice and Fire Double Heaven (Fire)"
"Description: A cultivation-type Epic Building that contains a complete world within, as well as one hundred and eight unique terrestrial fires. One can temper the body, forging a Jin Gang physique; two can temper the will, cultivating an indestructible will; three can refine energy, Domain, making it condensed; four can cultivate fire-based abilities, raising the limit."
"Note ①: More cultivation functions are to be developed by oneself."
"Note ②: Acquiring 'Ice and Fire Double Heaven (Ice)' can render this Epic Building complete, enhancing its effects."
A miniature model of a building, resembling the opposing forces of Yin and Yang but missing the other half, appeared before Mu Yuan.
Could this be... half of an Epic Building?
But even a half is still Epic.
After all, they had only purified two Pillars of Filth, not the true Heart of Corruption.
The gains had been quite remarkable indeed.
He needed to thank Nature's bounty.
Dragon Sleep Valley, good people.
...
In Tianze City, the Pioneer Group's first-level headquarters in the Twilight Dominion.
"The Battle Armor General has sent the latest intelligence, the Pillars of Filth have been purified, the four-order crisis alert can be lifted."
"Already purified? The reinforcements haven't arrived at the Ten Directions Island Domain yet, have they?"
"With just the power of Lord Tianyuan and the Battle Armor General, they resolved a four-order crisis?"
"The Battle Armor General briefly stated in the intelligence that Lord Tianyuan responded extremely quickly. Less than an hour after the alarm was triggered, Tianyuan City's army appeared on the wasteland. He was very decisive, calm, and possessed strength."
"Additionally, the Battle Armor General mentioned in the letter that the crisis was completely resolved by the efforts of Lord Tianyuan alone — he was almost... no, he was simply going through the motions."
The three Legendary commanders at the headquarters looked at each other.
This Battle Armor, he holds this young man in too high esteem.
But indeed, no matter how strong Battle Armor is, he is but one person. The main force that quickly resolved the crisis must have been Lord Tianyuan.
"It seems Tianyuan is no longer just a promising young Lord."
...
Two days later.
In the Red Mist Land, the main base of Dragon Sleep Valley.
A towering Giant Dragon, its pupils seemingly like the setting sun, revealed half of its body from within the Red Mist.
"King, of the three vanguard outposts we established, only the Jackal and Wolf Island Domain was successful. The vanguard outposts in the Death Domain... they all failed to be established."
"Oh?"
The Twilight King let out a prolonged question.
"The Hunting General Pupil Blade, who went to the Jackal and Wolf Island Domain, had his God Soul incarnation slain and is now severely injured."
"As for the Death Domain, our vanguard army was more powerful but encountered the Undead Tide, presumably under the command of the remnants of higher Undead beings. However, after this battle, the whereabouts of that high Undead being remain unknown, and the Undead Tide he commanded has been reduced to less than one tenth, no longer a concern."
After speaking, the Dragon Man waited anxiously for the Twilight King's response.
After a while, just when the Dragon Man began to wonder if the King had fallen asleep, the Twilight King spoke.
The Red Mist surged up along with it, the elongated voice echoed in the valley like a magnificent heavenly sound.
"Having one vanguard outpost is sufficient."
"Continue with the preparations, we shall use this as a spear to strike a fatal blow to Tai Xuan."
