Chapter 515: Chapter 333: Secret Realm Upgrade, Changes in Army Spirit (4K)_2

```

"It seems that if a lord's power is too weak, they may not even be able to harvest resources from a secret realm... However, given the difficulty of obtaining and upgrading a secret realm, such a predicament seems unlikely."

Until now, he had only obtained one such realm.

Mu Yuan released a Thunder Glow from his fingertips, effortlessly killing the monster in front of him before flying off into the distance.

Earlier on, when the secret realm hadn't been upgraded, the outline of a dilapidated church...or at least a corner of it, was faintly visible.

Only a corner.

But now, the ruined church was fully visible to Mu Yuan.

He descended.

Inside the church were different kinds of monsters, humanoid creatures that resembled sludge.

'Sludge Monster - Desire Monk'

'Sludge Monster - Headless Nun'

'Sludge Monster - Red Robe Bishop'

The bishop too was composed of sludge, with an indistinct face, but he wore a striking red robe and held a staff in his hand.

Perhaps because Mu Yuan controlled the secret realm himself, he naturally identified all the information about these monsters as his eyes scanned over them.

Among them, four monks and nuns had stepped into the third-order.

And the Red Robe Bishop was at the fourth-order limit, comparable to the 'Leader-level BOSS' of a large monster tribe chieftain!

He exuded a frightening, terrifying presence.

He died.

The church turned to ruins while Mu Yuan held a sun in his hand.

"That was a tough BOSS."

"I take back what I said earlier; if a lord is not strong enough, indeed they cannot harvest this level of crop."

But the danger wasn't high.

After all, it was his own secret realm, not the wilderness.

He had already been notified that bosses like the 'Red Robe Bishop' and elite monsters like the 'Desire Monk,' unlike other monsters, do not respawn once a day.

These significant monsters would take a very long time to resurrect, and they would not leave their own activity areas.

Which is the dilapidated church.

If the lord could not defeat them, a strategic retreat was all that was needed, as these bosses wouldn't give chase.

Proportionate to the difficulty of the harvest was the loot dropped by the monsters.

He waved his hand casually, tearing a half-meter-long fissure in space. The rift opened like a gaping mouth, sucked in voraciously like a Whale Swallow, ingesting all surrounding flames and storms, leaving only the dissipating particles of light from the monstrosities they were hunting.

Clusters of Soul Sand appeared where the monsters had vanished.

Besides that, there were a few items glowing in green and blue light.

'Notice: You have obtained rare-level materials × 5.'

'Notice: You have obtained superior-grade materials × 2.'

'Notice: You have obtained a superior-grade equipment embryo.'

"That means, after a certain period, this secret realm can be harvested for a batch of rare and high-order materials."

"As for the regular income of Soul Sand, it is..."

Mu Yuan organized a group of elites, quickly sweeping through the area.

The final tally came out to—60 per day!

That's 600 Soul Crystals in ten days, amounting to a net income of 21,900 in a year!

"The benefits of a secret realm are not limited to just these outward aspects. The Featherman Tribe has turned a secret realm into a hidden home where they can grow crops, live, and form a self-sustaining cycle."

"Whereas here in the Black Wasteland..."

A desolate, run-down atmosphere rushes forth.

"This place is not suitable for building a residence, but rather, it's a fine training ground for troops. If this place expands further, we might even be able to test 'core-level magic'."

...

At Wolf Head Mountain, their first formal exchange with the Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge had ended.

The elves and giants left one after another.

Besides exchanging information and agreeing on some bulk trades, the focus of their discussion was how to deal with the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

Both the elf Milena and the giant Asolo thought that the Tianyuan Territory was too hasty.

However, they agreed to the proposal of joining forces to combat and target the minions of the Wolf King.

With these two forces joining in, the pressure on Tianyuan Territory was greatly reduced, allowing him to recall some elites for rest and training. After all, constant skirmishes in the wild significantly affected the development of his elites.

```

For the elves and giants, as the Fang of the Jackal Wolf took control, a large number of high-order monsters perished in battle, significantly weakening this Monster Overlord's grip on the surrounding areas.

They were now able to step into the outside world with boldness to acquire resources.

They had considered letting Tianyuan Territory bear the pressure, but everyone was in the same boat, and shortsightedness was absolutely unacceptable.

Natural Garden.

This was a hidden sanctuary, a paradise of breathtaking beauty.

The architecture here was mainly treehouses, with a distinct elven style. However, if a Miracle Lord were present, they would notice buildings with unmistakable signs of miraculous power within this paradise.

Lord's Altar!

Watchtower! Arrow Tower! Wood Elf Training Camp!

Although the elves of the Natural Garden were remnants of an ancient empire, by nature, they also had opportunities to acquire a Lord's Heart, receiving the gifts of heaven and earth.

Inside the Secret Realm, the palace.

Milena's three-dimensional image appeared, communicating with another Legend.

"By the way, Your Majesty, it seems that humans have no intention of occupying the other two major mining sites (formerly Monster Tribes). Should we pay a price to obtain these mines from the humans and extract the resources ourselves? After all, we are in dire need of these basic resources."

"...That's not appropriate."

"Taking over the mining sites means we have to send Legends to guard them, otherwise, we could be attacked by the Legends of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf at any time, suffering heavy casualties. But once we send out Legends to guard them, there is more danger awaiting our Legends..."

She was reluctant to admit it.

But that human Legend was probably the most powerful among their Vitality Force.

That Legend could handle several Jackal Man Legends at once by himself. The elves couldn't do that.

For the time being, the Fang of the Jackal Wolf couldn't handle the Wolf Head Mountain Fortress, but if they tried to emulate the humans and occupied the mines... wouldn't the Fang of the Jackal Wolf go after them?

They needed to continue lying low until they could crush the main forces of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

...

Fang of the Jackal Wolf, the main base.

The Wolf King, cloaked in a grand cape, reclined on his throne, resting his chin on his hand while looking down upon the vast numbers of his Jackal Wolf subjects.

"I am already aware."

"Humans, elves, giants..."

They did have considerable power, and the Wolf King had some reservations about them.

If these three Vitality Forces were to make a desperate, all-out attack against them, it would be very troublesome. At that time, the losses of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf could be substantial, and the fortress underneath the giant peak could likely not hold.

"However, such is the nature of living beings, always with flaws like the fear of death. They can never make the most decisive and correct choices. Perhaps, their rational minds have made the right judgments, but cowardice, hesitation, and doubts dominate their thoughts."

Such are living beings!

Weak and ignorant.

Their children of the red mist are the most perfect life forms.

Seeing that living beings were only preparing to fight a 'war of attrition' and 'guerrilla warfare' against them, the Wolf King felt even less urgency.

He appeared relaxed and confident of victory.

"I am waiting for reinforcements from Tianqi Eternal Life. And you, isolated and alone living beings, what are you waiting for? Waiting for death?"

...

"The Dead Bone wishing to be honed to the limit and break through still needs a month or two, but..."

Skeleton Lord +1+1+1+1.

At this stage, the Dead Bone's combat power could hardly see significant improvement. What it could do was: expand the Well of Death, enlarge the Wraith Sacred Mountain, cultivate the Undead of the Holy Mountain, research and push the storage limit of the Power of Witherness, develop advanced uses for King's Might, and perfect the Giant Human of Deathremains, among a few dozen other tasks.

Its capabilities were limited.

This was the restraint of the laws of heaven and earth.

But as the number of Skeleton Lords increased, and as the old Skeleton powerhouses expanded their own 'Land of the Dead', the upper limit of power that the Dead Bone could unleash continued to climb.

Now, slaying a Goblin Legend probably wouldn't be too difficult.

Not only that,

"Whoooo~ Whoooo~"

Inside the Secret Realm that was cleared of monsters, shrouded in black fog and howling winds, a black-armored, black-cloaked Undead Legion climbed up into the sky, step by step through the fog.

They wielded their swords.

They charged.

The 'great sword stuck in a grave pack'-shaped Army Soul Embryo above them was becoming increasingly condensed and real.

Mu Yuan opened his panel.

'Undead Legion (999/1000)'
