They needed extensive fortifications for cover, nurous war machines to combat the endless tides of enemies so that those in the Law Realm could focus on or stall the High Dukes of the enemy.
Otherwise, the High Dukes, sheltered by a tide-like horde of monsters and under the protection of various Legendary Realm beings, could retreat at any mont, thwarting their strategic objectives.
However, following this path ant substantial losses for each Battle Zone.
After all, they were only the defending side and had launched the war sowhat hastily.
"But if we don’t do this..." another elder erupted, "By the ti Dragon Sleep Valley’s sches co to fruition, by the ti the Red Fog Disaster Moon descends, our entire frontline Great War Zone will sink in an instant, and even the heartlands of the Qi Cheng Federation will face catastrophic disaster."
"Can’t you see which is more critical!"
"Let’s start the vote now!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"I disagree..."
"Agree!"
The Qi Cheng Federation launched a new round of fiercer offensive.
...
At the sa ti.
The Yongxing Empire, Shen Mu Dynasty, Wan Shang Country, and Xi Mo Empire, these great nations, almost imdiately learned of the sudden offensive launched by several major Battle Zones.
"What’s happening, Qi Cheng, Tai Xuan, and Shen Yao—the three major alliance camps have actually taken the initiative to attack Red Mist Land? Have they gone mad?!"
"Indeed, the Sky Rift disaster is upon us, and the calamity is not far off. At this ti, they still step into the much more dangerous Red Mist Land. It looks like a death wish."
"I heard that the three major countries had no choice but to sacrifice themselves and enter the Red Mist Land in order to thwart the top tyrant’s sche in Dragon Sleep Valley. It was a forced move, a reluctant move."
"But it’s too risky, far too risky."
"Our most formidable front-line top tyrant, ’Chomping Insect Swarm,’ could they also be plotting sothing? Recently, two top exploratory teams inexplicably perished in the Red Mist Land."
"No matter what the enemy is planning, the danger of rashly penetrating the Red Mist Land is still too great. We should just continue to reinforce the defenses of the Great War Zone. That is the most correct and safest response to the disaster."
...
Deep within the Red Mist Land, on the third day of the united team’s expedition.
The red mist was thick, and the wind brought a faceful of blood scent.
The sight had not changed for several days; there were mountains of blood, rivers of blood, bones, and scattered flesh, and the red clouds filled the ground while countless dead things writhed like living beings.
It was enough to make one shudder.
"According to the intelligence coordinates, we are about a quarter of the way from the ’Heart Region’."
"Here, the frequency of monster tides and Monster Legends has indeed increased a lot."
The good news was that this confird they were moving in the right direction.
But the bad news was, their ’infiltration’ had beco more difficult.
In the past hour alone, the Epic Level ’Enemy Seeking Radar’ had set off six alarms, nearly exposing them to the eyes of the powers of Dragon Sleep Valley.
However, these more frequent ’encounters’ were still not the greatest crisis the united team faced.
"Cough, cough!"
A Soul Realm powerhouse suddenly began coughing, covering his mouth. The crimson blood that he coughed onto his palm appeared to wriggle like living insects.
"What is this?!"
He was startled and afraid, imdiately surging his power throughout his body.
There were experts adept at Healing and purification in the team, who then perford a thorough full-body check on the Soul Realm warrior.
"All the blood-born organisms inside have been eradicated, and the slightly damaged body and organs have also recovered. There is no serious issue," said the middle-aged man, who hailed from the Qi Cheng Federation and held the Job Rank of Saint of Holy Light.
But at this mont, his expression remained grave, "There is contamination accumulating rapidly. With my power, or rather with conventional purification thods, we can kill these blood-origin microorganisms but can’t root out the contamination."
"Contamination can only be slowly eliminated over ti."
"Once the contamination accumulates to a certain threshold, conditions like the presence of these blood-origin microorganisms will keep erging, more and more frequently, until it, eventually, causes our entire bodies to collapse."
The warriors quickly checked themselves and found varying degrees of contamination effects.
At this mont, they could still eliminate the associated damage of the invasions, but what about after a while, or even longer?
The strong ones had all realized the gravity of the issue.
"We still have about a quarter of the journey left, but the number of enemy encounters will increase as we go forward, forcing us to slow down. Moreover, once we reach the ’Heart Region,’ finding the actual heart will also take ti."
Based on the current rate of erosion, they could indeed reach the Heart Region.
But by then, how much of their fighting power would remain if the erosion was even worse?
This journey was certainly fraught with imnse danger, yet many of the strong still harbored thoughts of a victorious return. But by this rate, wouldn’t their greatest victory simply be a pyrrhic one, perishing alongside the enemy?
Thinking this, everyone’s expression grew ugly, each frantically searching through their own supplies, hoping to co up with a strategy.
But alas...
The mont they’d decided to venture deeper, they had even used Epic Level potions; their anti-erosion defenses were already at their peak and could no longer be enhanced.
It wasn’t that their defenses were insufficient; rather, after the layout of Dragon Sleep Valley, the erosive power of this region greatly exceeded expectations.
Mu Yuan was also continuously checking.
Unnoticeably, his body, his God Soul, had accumulated a fair amount of impurities from the erosion, but perhaps because his physique was stronger, he showed no signs of related ailnts.
However, individuals like Hong Yi, Seventeen, Jun, and even Isloa had all sustained varying degrees of injury.
Their allies’ injuries and the impact on morale had beco so severe that it was urgent to find a breakthrough strategy.
What could be the breakthrough strategy?
Mu Yuan had thought of one.
He activated his Devouring Talent, and deep within his body, it roared like a black hole, swiftly devouring any impurities stained within the depths of his soul.
Of course, this technique could only be used on himself.
In essence, it was only because his body possessed the ability to devour everything that he was immune to all poisons.
But then,
"If we can make the surrounding Red Mist less dense, could we significantly reduce the erosion effect?"
Mu Yuan spoke up.
The strong ones: "???"
Even the most learned True Fla Principal was utterly confused.
The sentence didn’t make sense to him when put together.
Make the Red Mist less dense? How?
Just as he was pondering this, he saw the Lord of Tianyuan City gesture towards a girl with light blue hair beside him, who looked harmless to humans and animals.
The next mont,
"Alrighty, I’ll devour!"
The girl’s cheeks puffed out, and she opened her mouth wide.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth surged, converging towards the center, forming a visibly massive vortex.
As the vortex spun, it devoured the sand, the elents, and everything within its range.
Strands of red mist were drawn into it, continuously converging and forming crimson streams that poured into the massive vortex’s center—emitting shades of pitch-black darkness like a gaping maw.
And in one gulp,
Snap!
The Red Mist dispersed! Only the seemingly harmless girl showed a trace of red smoke at the corner of her mouth, which gently dissipated.
The girl made a small heart with her hands, "All done~(＾－＾)V"
The True Fla Principal looked at the girl, who still appeared utterly harmless, and then at the surroundings, where the Red Mist had indeed beco much thinner. For the first ti, he was at a loss for words, falling into silence.
After a while,
It was the Principal who broke the dream-like silence, signaling for the Saint of Holy Light to check.
The Sage nodded, "If we can maintain this concentration of Red Mist and apply high-grade Anti-Corruption Potions, the internal accumulation of impurities won’t rise further."
This was, without doubt, exhilarating news!
But still,
How could such a frail-looking body devour an endless stream of Red Mist...
Was that even plausible?!
