“Don’t let anyone go; kill them all!” The Corpse Wizard King’s eyes shone brightly. He ordered the Magical Beast Army to hunt down the flustered fugitive soldiers everywhere and pursue them relentlessly.

Since he had advanced to the High-Level Deity Stage and gained greater power, he had never killed to his heart’s content the way he had on this day. The Poison Explosion, Corpse Explosion, and Death Ripples released great destructive power in this large-scale battle, and even he found their might unbelievable.

He depended upon his great power, as well as the Demon God Battle Formation, as no one could take his Death Ripples head-on other than a person with an unusually powerful soul or a protective Divine Weapon. The Death Horn was a top-notch Undead Divine Weapon ntioned in the legends, and it finally released its great destructive power.

“Sir, spare my life. Spare my life!”

“Ah! I will surrender. Sir, we will surrender!”

...

The defeated army was in total collapse. The Great Dragon Domain’s soldiers, who had been defending the Crystal Mine, dispersed in confusion and fled in panic. Even the commander Brian, who had a High-Level Deity’s power, had been shot to death by a single arrow, so no one dared to stay here and risk his life. The soldiers with God-Level Power escaped swiftly, but that only led them to die more quickly, because the Horned Dragons, Dark Dragons, and other Flying Magical Beasts focused on those soldiers. Upon seeing this, many soldiers with only Domain-Level or Sacred Level power threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg forgiveness.

“You have surrendered only now? It’s too late.” The Corpse Wizard King licked the blood sprinkled on his mouth and ordered a group of Twin-legged Flying Dragons to pounce on the soldiers. They tore a group of soldiers who surrounded them into shreds.

Too late?

Upon seeing their brutalized companions, as well as the devastating Magical Beasts which covered both the sky and the ground alike, the soldiers, who knelt on the ground and surrounded, turned pale. They descended into utter despair. They couldn’t defeat the opponent and couldn’t escape. Even surrender was useless. So, what should they do?”

The soldiers exchanged glances, and they saw utter despair in their comrades’ eyes. The Magical Beasts, which bared their fangs and brandished their claws, were a byword for the Death God to them. No one knew where so many terrifying Magical Beasts had co from, and even at this mont, many people still couldn’t understand what was happening. They were still muddle-headed even though they were completely cornered.

Many soldiers had rushed into the battlefield upon getting the commander’s order, and they still didn’t understand how they had offended a group of enemies as terrifying as Yang Ling’s team. Upon observing the actions of Yang Ling and his companions, they discerned that they didn’t seem like enemies from the Black Wood Domain, nor did they even seem like people from the Giant Dragon Mountain Range.

“The Magical Beast Divine Branch. Could it be that they are a strong Divine Branch from another Dinsion?” The Great Dragon Domain’s soldiers observed the Magical Beasts, which were closing in on them, and looked at the flag with the five-pawed golden dragon fluttering in the wind behind Yang Ling. They descended into even greater despair!

It was already difficult for the Great Dragon Domain to deal with the Black Wood Domain with its current power. If they made another powerful enemy, such as the Magical Beast Divine Branch, then they would surely walk down the road to ruin. Even if the feudal lord rushed over with a large group of Giant Demons, he probably wouldn’t manage to save their lives.

“Hehehe, there is a large amount of fresh blood and souls. I love it!”

After the Corpse Wizard King devoured a dozen God-Level Soldiers’ souls, he sucked in a breath of cold air. Bright black light emanated from his body, and the amount of his Soul Energy grew larger. He got closer to the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage. He had also frightened the nurous soldiers kneeling on the ground, who begged forgiveness, shivering with fear.

“Sir, spare my life, spare my life. I can be your slave, and I can mine for you.”

“Zombies, skeletons! No! Sir, spare my life!”

...

Zombies with rotten flesh, as well as deathly pale skeletons, were next to the Corpse Wizard King. Seeing this, the captives were frightened, and they despaired. In the Chaos Dinsion, they’d heard about so powerhouses practicing in seclusion who were fond of doing experints on living people, turning them into zombies and skeletons that retained their consciousness. The soldiers had heard similar stories so many tis, but they still shivered with fear when they saw the terrifying Undead up close, next to the Corpse Wizard King.

“Fine, Rodriguez, send people to clean the battlefield. Leave behind the captives who surrendered; let’s use them as miners.” Yang Ling looked at the nurous captives, who were shivering with fear and on the brink of collapse, before he looked at the terrifying Corpse Wizard King. He couldn’t help but shake his head and issue orders.

There were around 3000 captives who surrendered. Most of them had at least Sacred-Level Power, and they had great brute power. They could be used as free miners, and they would be able to quickly plunder the Black Crystals in the Crystal Mine. Since matters had already developed up to this point, Yang Ling would stop at nothing. He planned to mine the Black Crystals in the Crystal Mine at the highest speed possible.

“Lord, this is the opposite side’s great commander.” The Shadow Wizard Winnink moved like a ghost and walked quietly. He appeared swiftly in front of Yang Ling and spoke. He held Brian’s corpse in his hand.

“Good, very good.” Yang Ling extended his right hand and quickly absorbed Brian’s soul, which hadn’t dissipated yet. He seized Brian’s mory. He didn’t have to deal personally with useless little soldiers, but he could quickly get useful information by absorbing a commander’s mory.

Brian’s mory was very complex. But Yang Ling still managed to quickly organize it, thanks to his powerful Divine Consciousness, as well as his outstanding mory. He managed to get useful information easily, and he quickly improved his understanding of the Great Dragon Domain’s situation. He also got a better understanding of the Chaos Dinsion’s situation.

It turned out that even though the Great Dragon Domain had a long history, its comprehensive power wasn’t much greater than the other domains, and it was always unable to unify the ssy Great Dragon Mountain Range. The feudal lord rsenne was always prudent, and he didn’t aspire to unify the Great Dragon Mountain Range. The trump card in his hand was just a thousand Giant Dragons with God-Level power, and his own individual power was only at the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage. This domain wasn’t overseen by any peerless powerhouses, and he depended upon the nurous Giant Dragons as well as the strictly guarded Giant Dragon Castle to get through many crises over the past several years.

The Great Dragon Mountain Range was a symbol of poverty in comparison to the other regions of the Chaos Dinsion, but in reality, it still had mines. The Black Crystal Mine, protected by nurous soldiers, was one of the few large-scale mines in the Great Dragon Domain, and the Great Dragon Lord had stationed an army there with 10,000 troops to guard the Crystal Mine and prevent hostile factions from pillaging it. Those troops had 1000 God-Level Experts among them, and they were very strong. They managed to repeatedly block enemies’ attacks!

However, even the prudent Giant Dragon Lord wouldn’t expect that the Crysta Mine, which had never fallen into enemies’ hands, would be seized by Yang Ling, who only passed through by chance.

“A feudal lord with power at the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage, as well as a domain with an expanse several tis larger than the Magical Beast Territory... But it still has a population and resources a dozen tis greater than Tailun Continent.” After Yang Ling got an understanding of the Great Dragon Domain’s power, he sneered coldly and quickly made up his mind.

The developnt of the Wizard Pagoda’s dinsion had reached a bottleneck. They couldn’t increase the economy’s scale or their population, and soon it would be difficult for them to achieve any further advancent through accumulation. If they wanted to continue developing at a high speed, then the sole shortcut was importing a large amount of Crystal Ore, people, and other resources from the outside world. The Great Dragon Domain and the Giant Dragon Mountain Range weren’t overseen by any peerless powerhouse, and they were obviously the most suitable gold mine for now.

This region wasn’t at the center of the world’s attention, and they could develop here quietly. They would lay a firm foundation for the Magical Beast Divine Branch while waiting for an appropriate occasion to stretch their hands toward the other regions of the Chaos Dinsion, which had rich resources.

“Seylius, travel to the wanderer camp in the north with a team of guards and make inquiries about Skyreach Tower, the Death Dinsion’s Star Indicator, and other information. You should go quickly and co back quickly.” Yang Ling beckoned at the Flying Dragon King Seylius and asked him to co over. He issued the order in a deep voice and used the forces in his hand. This way, they wouldn’t delay either the inquires about Skyreach Tower or the developnt of their forces.

“Lord, are you implying that you want to occupy this mine for a long period?” Ophelia’s eyes lit up. When it ca to the developnt of the Wizard Pagoda’s dinsion, getting this rich Black Crystal Mine had a great strategic significance.

“Ophelia, do you think that occupying a trifling Black Crystal Mine is quite significant?” Yang Ling chuckled and paused for a mont before he said, “We need a large number of believers to get abundant Faith Power. The Black Crystals are very important, but you mustn’t forget that a large population is the best resource, and it’s also the resource that our Magical Beast Divine Branch needs the most.”

“Lord, are you implying that you want to take over the Giant Dragon Castle and seize the Great Dragon Domain?” The Corpse Wizard King held the Death Horn tightly in his hand. He was very excited. He knew the large size of the Great Dragon Domain, as well as its significance, thanks to the captives’ mory.

“No, Rodriguez, it isn’t just the Giant Dragon Domain, and the Great Dragon Mountain Range will be ours. We should either do nothing or carry out everything all the way to the end.” Yang Ling paused for a mont and looked at the stunned crowd before he said, “From today onward, we will set an ambush around the Crystal Mine, and we will dispatch a large number of scouts into the whole Great Dragon Mountain Range. We must make thorough preparations!”

“Understood!”

Once they understood Yang Ling’s intentions, the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the others got very excited. Soon after, they bowed, took their orders, and left. The Great Dragon Mountain Range had a large number of resources and people, and if the Magical Beast Divine Branch got them, it would get another base, and it could keep developing rapidly. In addition, the number of their believers would increase greatly, and they would also swiftly increase their amount of Wish Power. The crowd would be able to absorb more Wish Power with the Magical Divine Rings, so their overall power would also rise steadily.

“Lord, it’s just a trifling domain, and we can attack it head-on with our current power. We don’t have to waste ti here.” After the crowd dispersed, the Golden Roc expressed its opinion. Even High-Level Deities weren’t able to fill the gaps between a Wandering Divine Beast’s teeth, let alone experts and Giant Dragons with a Low-Level Deity’s power.

“No, rtesacker. If we quickly take over the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range, then we will efficiently acquire a large number of resources. But this wouldn’t be beneficial to us in the long term.” Yang Ling observed the boundless forest and paused for a mont before he said, “In the present situation, the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range doesn’t have any peerless powerhouses, and the outside world doesn’t pay attention to it. But no one knows its real situation, and we may yet co across a peerless powerhouse practicing in seclusion. Our Magical Beast Divine Branch doesn’t have yet absolute power, so we still have to be wary and prudent.”

They could have taken daring actions, but they had to maintain a low profile and act prudently.

This was a crucial juncture, and the Magical Beast Divine Branch was developing rapidly. This was why Yang Ling didn’t want to provoke a peerless powerhouse practicing in seclusion or a Great Divine Branch of the Chaos Dinsion. They had to make good plans before taking action. They had to ascertain the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s situation and make ample preparations before taking it over slowly.
