Under the Legion Descent state, Su Xiao, as the legion commander, gained an enhancement to the entire legion's power.
When all legion members were upgraded to Level 10, Su Xiao, leveraging the legion's strength, temporarily acquired the terrifying power of a Tier 1 Calamity.
Among peers, the hierarchy of strength was absolute.
A common Tier 1 alliance could barely contend with Tier 1 elites.
However, tens of thousands of near-elite Tier 1 existences, only with the ability to resurrect continuously, could perhaps wear down dozens of Lord-class beings through sheer attrition.
Above Lords were Nightmares, and above Nightmares were Calamities.
As a Tier 1 Calamity-class legion commander, Su Xiao, upon activating her life-risking skill, annihilated the Death Legion before her in an instant.
As the Death Knights behind her perished completely amidst red and blue flames, Su Xiao, after saluting Chen Luo, slowly transformed into light particles.
A cold wind swept across the battlefield. The colossal Flesh Abominations, the surging seas of skeletal bones, and the cloaked skeletons far in the rear all turned to dust in the wind.
The surviving soldiers of the legion looked at each other in a daze.
No one had witnessed the battle between Chen Luo and Lang Yuan up close.
Even facing a Lord-class Flesh Abomination, they had felt an insurmountable gap.
Now, as a Calamity-class being truly displayed its terrifying power before humans, they began to understand why Calamity-class existences were not permitted to actively participate on the battlefield.
Chen Luo, standing on the Bronze Hand, gazed at Su Xiao's radiant form within the dissipating light particles, momentarily lost in thought.
A moment later, after Su Xiao had completely vanished, Chen Luo snapped back to reality. With a casual wave, he sent all summoned soldiers back to Starfire City.
The Blood Moon now hung in the sky. The thick, lead-gray clouds, however, could not obscure its radiance.
The battlefield was gradually being buried by snow.
Chen Luo stood on the Bronze Hand, gazing into the distance. With the dual effects of his S-rank Eagle Eye and Demonic Eye talents, wind, snow, night, and clothing could no longer impede his sight.
Far in the distance, at the very center of the city, a towering, bone-white giant tower was steadily rising.
Chen Luo could sense a power no less than his own, and many auras far stronger than Death Knights, emanating continuously from that colossal tower...
"A stronghold of the Undead race?"
Chen Luo withdrew his gaze, pondering the reason for the Death Knight's arrival.
According to the system's rules, Calamity-class existences should not be allowed to directly engage in offensive actions.
However, this rule did not seem absolute.
Whether it was his battle with Lang Yuan after triggering the Purgatory Survival Mode on the first night, or the arrival of this Calamity-class Death Knight after his territory was upgraded to a city.
It was clear that the more active he became, the stronger the ambushes he would face.
The game contained countless malevolent forces seeking to stifle the possibility of humanity's growth.
But unfortunately, they would never understand that his growth rate was entirely different.
...
Hu Tao and Xiao Yue, watching the land beneath them gradually being buried by wind and snow, looked at Chen Luo with a hint of boredom.
Sensing the gazes of the person and the wolf beside him, Chen Luo willed it.
The massive Bronze Hand beneath them vanished instantly. Hu Tao and Xiao Yue, lacking flight capabilities, immediately began to fall towards the ground under the pull of gravity.
But the next moment, a pair of pale blue wings unfurled in the sky, and Chen Luo caught Hu Tao around the waist.
Before Hu Tao could even feel scared by the fall, she felt the warmth of Chen Luo's embrace, and her face flushed.
Chen Luo tightened his grip on the delicate girl in his arms and said softly, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Hu Tao blushed and nodded gently. Xiao Yue, cradled in her arms, seemed to recall something, its fur standing on end in fright:
"Awoooo!!!" (Master! No! Too fast! My body can't handle it!!)
Chen Luo, understanding Xiao Yue's words, smirked. The next moment, his wings vibrated.
Boom!
The speed of sound was instantly surpassed, the velocity so great that it even left the newly formed sonic boom clouds far behind.
"Awooo, awooo!" (It's over! We're going to be ruined! Master, you idiot!)
Xiao Yue, due to its previous flying experience, closed its eyes in fear, whimpering in a childish voice.
But a moment later, Chen Luo's mental wave reached Xiao Yue's mind:
"Silly wolf, open your eyes."
"Woo..."
Xiao Yue heard this, pondered for a moment, and slowly opened its tightly shut eyes.
A layer of pale blue film protected everyone, preventing the terrifying impact force from affecting their bodies.
The scenery around them, under the bloody moonlight, rapidly receded.
The ground inverted beneath them, and magnificent buildings grew increasingly smaller.
The altitude increased...
The snowflakes descending from the sky, buffeted by the flight's aftershock, scattered into streaks of light.
Hu Tao, held by Chen Luo, widened her adorable eyes, staring blankly at the rapidly changing scenery. xxs壹贰
The lead-gray clouds drew closer. This layer of clouds had covered the entire East Sea City for three days.
And now, a pale blue streak of light shot straight towards the sky.
Bang!
With a soft sound, Hu Tao found everything around her turned black.
But in less than a second, heaven and earth opened up...
This was above the sea of clouds, beneath the Blood Moon.
Chen Luo, with wings on his back, embraced Hu Tao and floated quietly above the clouds. The thick sea of clouds below seemed to transform into the ground.
Looking out, under the light of the Blood Moon, the world was serene, bringing immense peace to the heart.
Hu Tao gazed at the never-before-seen scenery in astonishment, her tender little mouth parting slightly.
She was looking at the scenery, while Chen Luo was looking at her.
The girl's exquisite face in the moonlight made one want to take a bite.
Chen Luo thought so, and he acted on it:
"Awo!"
"Woo..."
Shadows gradually overlapped...
Xiao Yue, held in his arms, excitedly flapped its little paws, gazing at the sea of clouds and the vast sky before it.
In its former homeland, the Night Wolf King of that time had never ascended to the clouds.
The magnificent scenery before it excited the current Wolf of Xiao Yue!
Just as Xiao Yue was about to let out a howl to express its inner excitement, it heard a male and female howl and whimper from above its head.
Xiao Yue looked up in confusion, instinctively opening its mouth:
"Awo... woo?" (Is this how humans express affection?)
After a long while, their lips parted.
Chen Luo looked at Hu Tao, whose face was flushed with color, and said with a light chuckle:
"Let's go, we're going home. If we stay any longer, I really won't be able to hold back."
Hearing this, Hu Tao lightly punched Chen Luo's chest. Her slightly swollen lips uttered weakly:
"Bad... person..."
Chen Luo looked at the woman like this, chuckled, and his wings behind him trembled lightly...
A pale blue streak of light instantly tore through the sky...
