The fluttering crimson flag transformed into a terrifying weapon in Chen Luo's hand; the military banner formed by an S-class skill was unexpectedly sturdy.
Chen Luo, at the forefront of the charge, swung with all his might. The Starfire Military Banner cut through the air with a piercing shriek, becoming a streak of light as it heavily swept across a large expanse of dark skeletons.
Boom!!
Amidst the roar, the dark skeletons, utterly defenseless, were pulverized into fragments by the flag in Chen Luo's hand, flying into the air.
Even with equivalent Strength attributes, a human's strength was undoubtedly far inferior to that of fierce bulls, colossal elephants, or even the raging whales of the deep sea.
This was the difference in racial stats.
Chen Luo, after undergoing a perfect life leap and entering the first-tier realm, had never truly unleashed his full power.
In fact, the reason he maintained a Purgatory-level combat evaluation after entering the first tier was precisely this terrifying racial stat that came with his transformation.
Chen Luo's current racial stat, exceeding ten points, made him seem like a monster in human skin.
A single swing of his flag instantly cleared away skeletons within tens of square meters in front of him.
And in Chen Luo's ears, a series of system prompts sounded consecutively.
[You dealt a one-hit kill to "Skeleton of Death" (Elite), you have obtained information related to "Skeleton of Death" (Elite)]
[Skeleton of Death (Elite)]
[Level]: 15 (First Tier)
[Health]: 400,000
[Skills]: Skeleton Assembly, Aura of Death
[Talents]: Corpse of Death, Undead Creature, Elite Creature Template, First Tier Creature Template
[Status]: Located within the Land of the Dead, all attributes gain a double bonus!
Chen Luo heard the information in his ears and looked at the countless skeletons he had just shattered, a slight daze on his face.
Were all these monsters Elite-grade?
And his physical strength alone could instantly kill them?
Was his strength this formidable?
Chen Luo stood at the edge of the gray-white land, clenching his fist, feeling the surging power within him, as if grasping something.
But before Chen Luo could ponder this change, the skeletons representing death paid no mind to Chen Luo's thoughts.
The void Chen Luo had blasted open was instantly filled, and terrifying dead skeletons surged towards Chen Luo. The crimson legion behind Chen Luo had also charged into the gray-white land, engaging in a head-on clash with the undead!
But!
The situation was one-sided. The moment they collided, the dead skeletons easily tore through the crimson river.
And a dark skeleton warrior even extended its bony claws from the gray-white land, aiming to cleave Chen Luo's head.
The dark bony claws flickered with an ominous light. Just as the claws were about to rip Chen Luo's skull apart!
Chen Luo, however, remained unresponsive, as if the skeleton's attack was as insignificant as a gentle breeze or the air.
The malice in the skeleton's eyes intensified, and its sharp bony claws struck Chen Luo's skull fiercely.
Crack!
Chen Luo seemed to awaken only at the sound of this light crackle, while the skeleton in front of him trembled, looking at its shattered claw.
The claw, which had been flashing with dark light, had precisely struck Chen Luo's head, but it was like fragile glass colliding with hard steel. Instead, the skeleton's sharp claw shattered in the collision.
Chen Luo somewhat helplessly brushed off the bone fragments that had fallen onto his hair, then smiled at the stunned skeleton:
"Sorry, it's been too long since I personally took action. I forgot I might have become too strong."
A glint flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and he swung his right fist heavily!
Boom!!
The air was easily torn apart by Chen Luo's fist. A terrifying impact, originating from Chen Luo's fist, easily shattered the skeletons in front of him that were slaughtering the crimson legion.
A large, fan-shaped void appeared in front of Chen Luo.
The Elite-grade monsters within the fan-shaped space had no time to react before they turned into countless flying black bone fragments.
Both the charging crimson warriors and the silently slaughtering Skeletons of Death were stunned by Chen Luo's actions.
But then, hatred for each other reignited the battle.
Chen Luo, however, stood in place with a frown, looking at the system prompts that had just sounded.
[You dealt a one-hit kill to "Skeleton of Death" (Elite) x748, experience is exclusively yours, your legion did not receive experience]
What Chen Luo had forgotten was simple.
Su Xiao, who had been buffed to Calamity-level by the Legion Power, had the ability to instantly one-hit kill numerous Elite and Lord-level enemies.
And Chen Luo, who was far more powerful than Su Xiao, actually had no real understanding of his own strength.
If Chen Luo was normally a frail mage who barely touched the threshold of the first-tier Purgatory-level,
Then after "Legion Descent," Chen Luo was the most terrifying among the Purgatory-level!
The fundamental reason for this was the "Lord of Ten Thousand Armies" class talent.
[Lord of Ten Thousand Armies]
[Type]: Talent
[Level]: Racial Foundation Level
[Effect]:
1. Power of Command: During Legion Summoning, every point of Command value, after the Legion Summoning, increases the summoned subordinates' all-attribute by one percent!
2. Lord of Ten Thousand Armies: During Legion Summoning, every summoned subordinate can increase the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies' all-attribute by one ten-thousandth!
Chen Luo's current Command value, exceeding one hundred points, granted each of his subordinates a double attribute bonus.
Even more terrifying was that as long as these subordinates survived, every surviving subordinate could grant Chen Luo a one ten-thousandth attribute bonus!
This meant that after summoning one hundred thousand soldiers, Chen Luo's all-attribute effect received a tenfold bonus!
But this was not all!
[Emperor of Ages]
[Type]: Talent
[Level]: Racial Foundation Level
[Effect]:
1. True Dragon Majesty: All curse-type skills, when attempting to harm you, will have a very high probability of suffering True Dragon backlash!
2. Emperor's Destiny: During Legion Summoning, the all-attribute enhancement effect gained by the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies is increased by one hundred percent!
Under the dual talent bonuses, with one hundred thousand soldiers present, Chen Luo's all-attribute received a twenty-fold enhancement effect!
Chen Luo's Strength, Agility, and other attributes on his panel still displayed over one hundred points due to equipment bonuses, but the actual effect received a double bonus from racial stats and talent effects!
Therefore, even without using any skills, a simple punch from Chen Luo instantly killed hundreds of Elite-grade monsters.
This was the absolute dominance of Purgatory-level over the weak!
...
Even if these Elite-grade skeletons reached Chen Luo, even if Chen Luo stood still and let them attack, the result would only be them killing themselves.
However, Chen Luo's brow gradually furrowed.
This strength of his required the presence of his legion to be maintained.
But his legion was being slaughtered by the enemy.
As soon as the legion's soldiers stepped into the gray-white land, they had no power to resist the Elite-grade monsters.
This expanse of gray-white land was peculiar!
Chen Luo frowned as he watched the one-sided battlefield, taking a step forward and entering the gray-white land.
[You have entered the range of the SSS-class skill "Land of the Dead," the Land of the Dead is not a curse skill and has no direct damage effect]
[Your resistance is detected as insufficient to counter the weakening effect of this skill]
[Within the range of the Land of the Dead, your all-attribute bonus effect is reduced by fifty percent]
Feeling his body suddenly weaken, Chen Luo casually swung again, easily obliterating hundreds more Elite-grade skeletons.
"Too dangerous. After I entered, my all-attribute bonus effect was only 1950%!"
Chen Luo finally understood why his subordinates had no power to resist.
These skeletons within the "Land of the Dead" had their all-attribute bonus effect doubled, while his own soldiers were weakened.
With the decline of one and the rise of the other, the disadvantage was too great.
In this case, when the monsters within the dark light pillar finished incubating.
If he were to fight it, his subordinates would be easily slaughtered.
And he, unable to maintain his peak strength, would also find the battle very difficult.
Therefore, he had to strengthen his soldiers' power.
And this problem was not difficult for Chen Luo at all.
Chen Luo flashed forward, stepping onto the bronze hand that emerged from the void, his gaze fixed on the suppressed crimson legion within the gray-white land:
"Buffing, huh? Let's see who can buff more!"
