Chapter 518: Chapter 335 New Evolution, Temple of Knowledge (4K)
And obviously, they couldn't find a suitable target to anchor.
Anchoring a common target, even a fourth-order Boss-level monster, would not fully demonstrate the Great Force of Emperor's One Sword. Anchoring Tianyuan's strongest, General Duo Lai...
That would be a bit dangerous. There's no guarantee that Duo Lai could withstand that sword, even if he used the splitting Techniques in advance to save his life, it still wouldn't be safe enough. Dead Bone, who commands the Army Soul Corps, vaguely understood the power of this move, and in its own words, it was a bit formidable.
It's worth mentioning that when Dead Bone's position within the corps changed from 'main general' to 'vice general,' the super killing move, Emperor's One Sword, turned gray. Whether commanded by 'Bone Two,' Bone Four, or Sario, they all were unable to gather the forces of the corps to accumulate power and unleash this ultimate technique.
Mu Yuan thought this unreasonable and strange phenomenon was...
Quite reasonable.
The Complete Level Army Soul Corps was just the beginning – the Army Spirit could still continue to condense and improve, resonating with even more elite formations.
The breakthrough of the corps was of great significance to the Tianyuan Territory.
It meant that the territory had two top Combat Powers.
Thus, even if the Tianyuan's main base was exposed and subjected to a surprise attack by the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, they would have the ability to contend.
Like before, if Tianyuan Territory was subjected to a surprise attack, relying on large defensive Techniques and many defensive structures, they could temporarily hold on, long enough for General Duo Lai to reinforce them. But in that case, the situation in the Wolf Head Mountain would become perilous.
Without General Duo Lai, relying solely on the Wolf Head Mountain Fortress, they could only resist an assault by one or two individuals from the Legendary Realm.
This level of defensive capability was already quite strong in the eyes of various Vitality Forces.
Mu Yuan felt it was far from enough.
Now, his meager sense of security had increased a little more. Of course, just a little.
...
Three days later.
South of the territory, in an immeasurably distant land.
The sky was low, as if there were only a thin space separating it from the earth, and the surroundings lacked high mountains or vegetation, rivers or streams, all barren. Typically seen wild creatures were rare here, and the fearsome presence of any was not seen even in a single glance.
There was only a dark-skinned, tall, and robust man with a long spear walking not too quickly across this desolate land.
It was Rakshasa.
His gaze swept the surroundings, not missing an inch of ground.
Suddenly, not far away, a few red and blue elemental particles appeared, followed by more and more visible elemental particles emerging out of nowhere, manifesting between heaven and earth. They appeared suddenly and converged, forming a colorful tide of elements that lashed out violently in all directions.
The process from the tide's formation to its strike was very brief, less than a couple of seconds. However, the area it covered was several kilometers in radius.
Any ordinary fourth-order being encountering this would struggle for only a few breaths before possibly falling beneath the energy tide.
Rakshasa reacted quickly, instantly turning into an Evil Heavenly Dragon smoke cloud, rising hundreds of meters into the air. However, compared to the range of the elemental tide's impact, his shift was short.
He shook his long spear, and a dot of reddish-brown cold gleam shot out. Riding on the crevice opened by the spear gleam, he quickly passed through the tide and landed safely.
Behind him,
The majestic tide fell, raising a sky full of flowing light and roaring thunder.
When Rakshasa first encountered this kind of energy tide, he too was caught off guard and suffered significant injury. He even tried using the 'Evil Heavenly Dragon' to blast through the tide, but when the Evil Heavenly Dragon came in contact with the energy tide, it set off even more violent fireworks.
He ended up getting even more severely injured.
Luckily, when he first stepped into the 'Furious Region,' the scale of the energy tides stirring between heaven and earth wasn't so great, which gave him time to familiarize and toughen himself up.
Rakshasa kept traversing, having already covered thousands of kilometers.
However, he was moving laterally, not depthwise.
He could no longer continue deeper into the Furious Region and could only keep running along this region, hoping to find a gap where the energy wasn't so violent.
He found one.
And also, not quite.
"This area is almost the calmest region of the energy tides, but even so..."
He couldn't get through.
From afar, he could see at the end of his vision that the energy tides were even more turbulent, with the sky and earth seeming to be squashed together. There was nowhere to hide, no way to advance.
Just try and go for it!
Rakshasa was determined enough to try, and indeed, he perished amidst the energy tides.
The one who perished was one of his Three-phase Body aspects, the 'Evil Body,' which possessed strength far surpassing a fourth-order leader. Yet, even such a formidable body couldn't withstand for long.
He didn't get to see the end.
He couldn't possibly try again, that would be too stubborn.
...
"Ah, this, Rakshasa was really too stubborn." discover-MVLeMpYr-novels
Mu Yuan also learned of this news after Rakshasa had made his attempt.
After all, he couldn't always pay attention to everything around him, nor could he see what Rakshasa was up to. Most of the time, Rakshasa reported to him through Hero Power.
Rakshasa reported that he tried, he failed, and thus concluded that it really wasn't possible to cross.
But Mu Yuan had already told Rakshasa several days earlier that even the legendary giants failed to cross horizontally, let alone him, a mere fourth-order leader. He had told Rakshasa to continue exploring in hope of finding a passable gap in this 'Furious Region.'
Really, there likely wasn't one.
