50: Chapter 50: All Members Reach Tier 3, Significant Improvement in Strength

The attacks of the Wind Shadow Archer were held back, no longer posing a threat to the Purgatory Race army.

"Die!"

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Purgatory Race hero. Devilish Qi erupted from his body like a mountain torrent, and he prepared to leap into the opposing Human Race army to begin a slaughter.

Just then, a brilliant radiance flashed across the battlefield.

It was as if someone had torn the battlefield apart in an instant.

The cruel expression still lingered in the Purgatory Race hero's eyes, but his three-meter-tall body had been split in two, involuntarily sliding apart to both sides.

"I... I'm dead."

This was the last thought that surfaced in his mind, and immediately, his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.

From beginning to end, he did not even know how he had died or who had killed him.

Qian Ying appeared at the other end of the battlefield, the Soul Piercing Thorn in her hand radiating a cold chill.

Flash Light Slash.

The moment she crossed the battlefield, the bodies of over a dozen Purgatory Race units, including that Perfect-Rank Purgatory Race hero, were sliced in two.

The next moment, Qian Ying's figure vanished once again, traversing the battlefield at extreme speed and easily reaping the lives of the ranged units in the rear.

Although her role was that of a super assassin, she was far from helpless in battlefield combat. To her, these Purgatory Race heroes and units were like grass, being wantonly harvested by her.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He could sense the strength of the opposing Purgatory Race army; if they had truly engaged in a frontal battle, his Black Armor Soldierss would certainly have suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, Qian Ying had taken action.

With her absolute, overwhelming strength, she instantly changed the course of the battle.

Having lost the leadership of their Purgatory Race hero and being struck with terror by Qian Ying's killing, the morale of the remaining Purgatory Race army finally collapsed after Zhong Yue entered the fray and displayed his Divine Might.

A glorious victory.

On Lin Xiao's side, although some people were inevitably injured, there were zero casualties.

The invading Purgatory Race army, however, was completely wiped out.

Only a few Purgatory Race units were captured and used to stall for time.

...

Lin Xiao watched the entire battle from beginning to end.

"The power of the Dragon Breath is indeed terrifying."

He exclaimed with some wonder.

In terms of destruction range, the Scorching Flame Dragon Breath was far inferior to the Meteorite, but in terms of destructive power, it far exceeded it.

The highly concentrated Dragon Breath represented ultimate destruction; even a Perfect-Rank Third-Tier hero appeared incomparably fragile before it.

"With Qian Ying guarding the west side, it seems secure."

Lin Xiao had not arranged many troops on the west side of the territory, and there were only two Burning Sky Flame Dragons, all because Qian Ying was stationed there.

An Epic-Rank hero was absolute invincibility.

Even if battlefield combat was not her greatest specialty, she could still easily dominate the battlefield.

Zhong Yue was responsible for frontal combat, and Qian Ying reaped high-threat targets; resolving the invasion on the west side was no problem at all.

Lin Xiao felt relieved.

He had taken down even the invading army of a veteran Purgatory Race Lord with minimal cost, showing just how rock-solid his territory was.

The number of the most threatening top-tier Third-Tier Lords would not be too high.

Furthermore, they should currently be focusing all their efforts on attacking the Human Race's Third-Tier Lords; it was impossible for them to come and target a newcomer Prodigy who had just entered the Chaos Source Sea.

Therefore, the strongest enemies Lin Xiao could encounter would only be veteran lords.

Those veteran lords whose entire forces were Perfect-Rank were naturally extremely powerful, but this was merely an invasion battle, not a full-scale war between two territories; the opponent could not possibly send out all their troops.

As time passed, the threat of this level of invasion battle to Lin Xiao would only become smaller and smaller.

Once the sixth day passed.

Lin Xiao gave the order to finish off the first invading Human Race units.

[Invasion ended. You have achieved victory. Beginning settlement.]

[You have obtained a War Treasure Chest (Gold).]

[You have completely wiped out all invaders. You have obtained the opposing Lord's information and one opportunity for revenge.]

Although it had dragged on until the sixth day to resolve this time, his performance was far superior to the opponent's, and he had suffered zero casualties, so he still obtained a Gold-Rank War Treasure Chest.

Lin Xiao did not hold onto it and opened it directly.

[You opened a War Treasure Chest (Gold) and obtained 1 million Source Crystals, 100,000 units of Food, 100,000 units of Wood, 100,000 units of Stone, 10,000 units of Iron Ore, 1,000 units of Silver Ore, 100 units of Gold Ore, and a Blazing Flame Bow (Rare).]

After upgrading to a Level 3 Territory, the resources provided by the War Treasure Chests were also greater.

The information about that Sin Race Lord was also obtained by Lin Xiao.

At the same time, the System notification for the failed invasion sounded in the ear of that Sin Race Lord.

"Failed?"

The Sin Race Lord did not pay much attention; it was normal for invasion battles to have wins and losses.

The opponent only resolved the army he sent out on the sixth day, indicating that their strength was just average; it was unlikely they were the target he was looking for.

Of course, he could not rule out that the opponent had done so deliberately.

Because his army had been completely wiped out and had not lasted until the seventh day, the Sin Race Lord had no way of knowing the inside story and could only speculate.

He didn't think much of it, first replenishing the lost heroes and units, then organizing the sequence of events and reporting it to the Heretic Hunting Bureau, after which he stopped caring about the follow-up.

In any case, he was just acting under orders; completing the task was enough.

The seventh day.

The forced request for help function was triggered, but Lin Xiao had no intention of using it; he did not need to ask others for help.

On the eighth day, the remaining captives of the Bull Demon Race Lord were finished off by Lin Xiao.

He harvested a second Gold-Rank treasure chest, as well as the opponent's information and a revenge opportunity.

[You opened a War Treasure Chest (Gold) and obtained 1 million Source Crystals, 100,000 units of Food, 100,000 units of Wood, 100,000 units of Stone, 10,000 units of Iron Ore, 1,000 units of Silver Ore, 100 units of Gold Ore, and a Ballista Construction Blueprint (Rare).]

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Not bad luck.

Both of the two consecutive War Treasure Chests he opened had given Rare-Rank items.

The ballista was also a very powerful defensive building, so Lin Xiao naturally would not turn his nose up at it, but he would have to wait until the Materials were ready before he could build it on the city wall.

"Eight days now."

Lin Xiao's gaze slowly swept across the territory.

Over these eight days, apart from the time spent dealing with invasions, all heroes and units had dedicated their energy to Cultivating.

The results were also remarkable.

Now, all the heroes and units in the territory had been promoted to Third-Tier.

Even the Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry summoned last were no exception, which was normal; under conditions of abundant Cultivation resources, the earlier Ranks did not take much time at all.

The further one progressed, the slower the Cultivation, which was the norm.

After being promoted to Third-Tier, the Cultivation speed of the Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry became very slow.

This was influenced by their own Aptitude.

Even for the earliest batch of Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry, their attributes had only reached over 3,000.

The Perfect-Rank Aptitude was higher, and their Cultivation speed far exceeded that of the Rare-Rank.

Now, the attributes of the Wind Shadow Archers had generally reached over 6,000, with the strongest batch already having over 8,000, not far from the Third-Tier limit.

Now that the territory Rank was Level 3, within the Third-Tier Domain, no one would face additional resistance; therefore, their growth speed was extremely astonishing.

Compared to the Wind Shadow Archers, the Frost Giants, who could not use the Spirit Gathering Array, were significantly inferior.

Their attributes were around three to four thousand.

Their attributes were not worse than the Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry, and their true strength was far superior, but compared to the Wind Shadow Archers, they were quite lacking.

The Burning Sky Flame Dragons were in the same situation.

Patrolling the edge of the territory didn't slow down their growth much; the main issue was that they couldn't use the Spirit Gathering Array, which made their growth speed barely satisfactory.

Fortunately, their attributes were very high when they were summoned; therefore, their attributes at this time had already exceeded the Third-Tier limit, with Physique and Spirit approaching 20,000.

It was no exaggeration to say that Taylor, Conrad, and the others were now the strongest units in the First Source Sea.
