My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Many types of tickets for places like this mystical training ground can be exchanged on the Taixuan Covenant Platform.

However, most Lords would not spend a large number of Contribution Points to exchange for them.

The enhancements from training, exercising, and blessings of a treasured land were too insignificant. With the same amount of money, Lords would rather spend on purchasing Remnant Souls of the Excellence grade, or exchange for treasures and potions that help breakthrough boundaries.

Only when Lords and division officers reached the Fourth-order Limit and could progress no further would they spend their money on 'enhancement through training'.

With such additional enhancements and her status as a Lord, Shen Linglong wasn't necessarily much inferior to her peers of Epic Life.

However, Shen Linglong's style of combat was open and expansive, with rashness almost akin to 'Bone Two'. She might be able to fight well but lacked the knack for quick retreats.

She also had over a hundred Elite soldiers capable of shaping incomplete Army Spirits, but the advantage of Army Spirits had to be used at critical moments.

Mu Yuan, citing various reasons, persuaded Shen Linglong.

"But many of your division officers are still in the outside world, right?" she said.

Mu Yuan did not deny it and paused before saying, "I have arranged their teams, and besides, my Tianyuan Division officers are well versed in Steady Spirit and Tianyuan Will, they can retreat safely. Just take Lian Yue for example; she moves faster than the average Legendary Realm. You can't deny that."

Lian Yue had exceptional speed, second only to Jun in an all-out sprint.

She coordinated with Hong Yi and Xi Liu.

Jun was always ready to provide support, backing up Uta and Rakshasa.

For both groups, retreating wasn't hard.

But Mu Yuan left out one thing; unlike the Elf or Giant Squad, his sharp squad wasn't rapidly retreating. They were Hunters.

They might only be able to compete momentarily with creatures from the Legendary Realm or burst forth with a slightly superior Legendary Realm power, but if used appropriately, their efficiency in killing legends could surpass that of the legends themselves.

...

Outside Tianyuan City, at a place more than two hundred kilometers away.

"Huff~ Huff~"

A few Elven Powerhouses were panting, continuously leaping among the mountains.

Meanwhile, hundreds of flying monsters were quickly swooping in to attack, with at least a dozen Fourth-order Bosses hidden among them, striking continuously.

In just a short moment, the Elven Powerhouses sustained more severe injuries.

Each of them was a Fourth-order Peak Strongman possessing at least four high-level skills and a special talent. They each had the Combat Power to kill a common Four-order within ten moves, and they would normally be able to break out of an encirclement with their capabilities.

However, they had recently been ambushed by a Snake Man Legend. Two were critically injured and the remaining four also suffered light injuries.

Their life-saving items had been completely used up during the pursuit by the Snake Man Legend.

If they had abandoned the critically injured from the start, they might have had a chance to escape, but now...

Taeli, a member of this sharp squad, shot down a flying monster with an arrow when suddenly a beam of light flew towards her. She dodged in an ungainly manner, but then a blade came slashing towards her, adding two fresh wounds to her face and arm.

Her injuries were multiplying.

The space they had to dodge was shrinking, and they were being surrounded on all sides. Despair filled her heart.

Suddenly,

Hum——

Darkness fell from the sky.

Day seemed to turn into deep night in an instant, stealing away their sight, and even their hearing seemed to fade away, only to return the next moment.

The monsters surrounding them were suddenly panicked, as if blinded.

"Dark Crow... Storm."

A murmuring voice sounded.

They saw a figure walking along a pitch-black path emerging from the lightless void, with black feathers falling on either side, as if honoring the arrival of a dignitary.

In the sky, countless black feathers fell too, like a downpour of feathers.

The next moment, the feathers turned into Black Crows, the crows stirred up a storm, and the storm tore through the Azure Sky.

Monster after monster was ripped apart, ignited by black flames, plummeting from the sky to quickly turn to ash.

The horde of monsters besieging the Elves was torn open in the blink of an eye.

"What are you waiting for?"

Snapping out of their stupor, Taeli and the other Elves knew it was not a time for hesitation, and they quickly broke free through the torn gap with their comrades.

"Keep following the mountain range, there are people ahead to meet you," Sophia said.

Taeli asked, "What about you?"

"I still have a mission," Sophia replied and walked on.

Biting their lips, Taeli and the others charged towards the ultimate darkness.

To them, Sophia's figure was blurred, like a rough ink sketch, but she spread her arms wide open, stirring up a terrifying black storm.

With one person's power, she held back a horde of monsters comprising dozens of Four-order Bosses and numerous Third and Second-order monsters.

Sophia looked towards everything under the blackened canopy of sky.

The monsters had already started to adapt to the darkness, and under the leadership of the wise boss, they kept reducing the Dark Crow Storm.

Sophia pondered, "If given some time..."

She had the ability to wipe out this batch of flying monsters, including the dozen or so bosses inside.

However...

It wasn't necessary, not worth it. This wasn't her mission.

Just now, 'Nocturne,' 'Dark Crow Storm,' had already consumed a lot of her energy, and she still had hundreds of Created Black Crows outside, which she needed to control at all times.

Controlling the black crows, keeping a close watch on the enemy's movements, that was what she needed to do.

She glanced outside the canopy of heaven, and the loyal black crows transmitted their vision to her.

Taeli and the others had already run far.

Sophia nodded slightly, turned around, and disappeared into the night.

...

"Huff... Huff...!"

With energy severely depleted, leaving her with less than one-tenth of her strength, Taeli felt incredibly tired.

Still, she couldn't help but look back.

She saw neither the swarm of monsters nor that mysterious black figure.

"It must be a division commander of the Tianyuan Territory," she thought.

"There are several powerful commanders in the Tianyuan Territory; I don't know which one she is," Taeli mused.

Sophia was alone.

But having witnessed the grace of the Tian Yuan commanders, Taeli had an unexplainable confidence that Sophia could easily shake off the enemy's pursuit.

This was a Tianyuan Division commander!

Below the legendary, they, the strongest of Nature's Garden, as seeds of legend, might not even make it into the top five if they were in Tianyuan Territory.

"I wonder how Lady Milena is doing," she thought.

"Lady Milena is a being from the Legendary Realm; surely, she's fine," Taeli reassured herself.

Taeli thought.

...

Minutes ago, Legendary Elf Milena timely came to the aid of Taeli and the other fleeing elven powerhouses.

She met with the Snake Man Legend.

She was an exception among elves, unskilled in archery but masterful in swordsmanship. Her fighting style could hardly be described as elegant; the 'White Sword Flower' was just a fancy title she had given herself.

With a swing of her sword, sharp sword winds arose around her.

Her Sword Domain buzzed.

With slashes and cuts, her onslaught was like a fierce storm, "Die die die die die die, just die for me!!"

The Snake Man Legend's domain trembled, as blossoms of blood opened on his body.

He was clearly at a disadvantage.

There was a significant gap in combat power between them.

The Snake Man Legend was not afraid at all, saying, "I have countless reinforcements, what do you have?"

Monsters swarmed around them.

Above the monsters, a legendary being that seemed to emanate Long Wei arrived through the air, approaching silently.

This was a Dragon Man Legend.

He spread his great membranous wings; within his domain, pillars of flame surged to the heavens. His Dragon's Might burst forth as if a giant dragon was roaring beside one's ear, each roar resounding thunderously.

Milena's expression grew solemn.

The Dragon Man Legend's domain radius was about the same as that of the Snake Man Legend.

However, this Dragon Man obviously possessed a not insignificant Giant Dragon Bloodline, ranking him among the top below the Epic tier. At the same level, a Dragon Man Legend would undoubtedly be much stronger than a Snake Man Legend.

Things had become somewhat troublesome.

Milena felt confident that she could escape, but under these circumstances, killing the Snake Man Legend would be as difficult as reaching for the heavens.

She was unwilling to let go.

But just as the Snake Man Legend said, he had reinforcements; what did she have?

She had nothing, only able to rely on herself.

"Roar!"

Another Dragon Roar sounded, and a breath of flames tore through the wave of monsters; a silver-white giant wolf strode through the moonlight.

The Dragon Girl with outstretched wings, stood atop the giant wolf.

Lian Yue, Xi Liu, Hong Yi, arrived at the battlefield.
