Chapter 581: Chapter 360: When Catastrophe Comes, Crush It (4K)_2

```

After all, this Black Crow not only could hide in shadows, its presence nearly undetectable, and difficult to spot with the naked eye, but it also possessed the 'Phantom Night Eyes' talent bestowed by Sophia. Even a legend in person, if not paying attention, might overlook the Black Crow.

The Black Crow followed the war machinery.

Another dozen or so Black Crows were scouting along the path taken by the war machinery on its way here. They discovered many high-order monsters and countless traps set throughout the great forest.

In such circumstances, even top-tier scouts at the Fourth-order Peak that excelled in stealth and reconnaissance would find it hard to proceed further.

However, the elves and giants were quite experienced with this, and wouldn't dare to venture further in these situations.

Scouts who couldn't curb their curiosity or were overly confident and conceited had long ago perished in the wilderness. What remained were those with a wealth of experience.

Sophia wasn't worried about safety issues.

After all, it was her crows, not herself, that were undertaking the deep reconnaissance.

Half an hour later, by relentlessly following clues, Sophia found an area that was likely a 'weapon factory' of the Blood Snake Encase.

This weapon factory was well-hidden, surrounded by a naturally formed mesmerizing formation. If not for Sophia's crows inheriting her innate ability to perceive, discovering it wouldn't have been so easy.

"I didn't expect that the Blood Snake Encase would actually have a dedicated weapon factory to produce flesh and blood weapons."

"No, perhaps the Fang of the Jackal Wolf has one too, it's just that we hadn't found it before."

Simultaneously, Lord Shepherd, who was receiving the vision from Sophia's crows, stroked his chin, pondering.

Afterward, Sophia and Dead Bone discovered the presence of war machinery in several different areas. Sophia even encountered legendary snake men twice.

On one occasion, Sophia was only a few hundred meters away from a passing Snake Man Legend.

The Snake Man Legend did not notice Sophia's spying.

However, if the Snake Man Legend unfolded its domain, it would be hard to say if Sophia could remain hidden. It seemed that no concealment skills could fully evade the envelopment of a domain.

Of course, unless a Legend happened to pass by, normally Sophia would not be facing a monster Legend face to face; she conducted her reconnaissance through her own crows.

Even if the crows were spotted, her true body was still several kilometers or tens of kilometers away, well beyond the reach of the domain's radius, giving her ample time and space to retreat.

"It's a pity that it was Sophia, and not Dead Bone, who encountered the monster Legend."

If it had been Dead Bone who chanced upon a Legend, he could have slain the Legend on the spot without much commotion.

But such an opportunity did not arise.

After these several reconnaissance operations and the intelligence gathered by the elves and giants, it was now certain that the enemy showed signs of launching a full-scale attack.

And this enemy was not just the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, but also the Blood Snake Encase, and… the Great Blood Tree Forest!

"The presence of the Blood Snake Encase is one thing, but why would 'the Blood Tree King,' the master of the Great Blood Tree Forest, collaborate with the two great overlords?"

Mu Yuan's face also grew somber.

Wolf Head Mountain.

As reports kept pouring in, Milena and Asolo, both Legends, became increasingly grim-faced.

Why would the enemy launch a full-scale attack at this time?

It had all been probing and small-scale skirmishes before, with no significant change in the battle situation, so why suddenly…

They couldn't understand.

They had not at all anticipated the participation of the Blood Snake Encase and the Great Blood Tree Forest in the war, especially the latter.

The Great Blood Tree Forest was a formidable forbidden zone! Even for Legends, venturing deep into it meant no return.

The pressure they felt was immense.

The pressure was as heavy as a mountain.

They were almost suffocating from the excessive deviation from their plans.

They even began to have thoughts of retreat. After all, only the Tianyuan of humankind was currently exposed to the eyes of the Monster Overlord, while their homelands were still hidden.

However, if Tianyuan suffered a major defeat, they would stand even less chance against the Fang of the Jackal Wolf—especially now that the Fang of the Jackal Wolf and the Blood Snake Encase were closely allied.

They had to consider that this might be their only chance in this lifetime.

Moreover…

They had just heard about Tianyuan's backdrop and lineage. Behind Lord Tianyuan stood a solid support—a great power known as the Tai Xuan Alliance.

The Tai Xuan Alliance was a great nation-level force of the Eternal World, having eradicated countless monster overlords!

```

Now, friends of Lord Tianyuan have already rushed to this place for support.

All they need to do is hold on for a while, and more reinforcements from the Tai Xuan Alliance will arrive. By then, they would surely be able to escape the peril. Lord Linglong, a friend of Lord Tianyuan, has also said that he could contact the Federation of All Nations for them.

The Federation of All Nations is a great nation-level force formed by various surviving races, including elves and giants.

At this moment, they cannot shrink back!

They must persist until the end!

With the existence of powers such as the Tai Xuan Alliance and the Federation of All Nations, as long as they survive this calamity, the future will truly be bright. Unlike before, even if they joined forces to defeat the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, it was still hard to say whether they could live in peace in the future.

"We elves will assist in the fight against the Monster Overlord."

"We will do the same," another voice echoed.

The two legends took a deep breath.

Their gaze towards Duo Lai was filled with newfound respect. Had this Tianyuan legend's expression not changed at all from the very beginning until now? Was this the composure of a super-strong being? Clearly, the Tianyuan Territory was the one under the greatest pressure.

The enemy's arrival was abrupt, and all three parties quickly prepared for battle.

Mu Yuan had not yet understood why the Monster Overlord had suddenly launched a full assault, which also disrupted his planning. His plan was to wait until his territory possessed eight or ten legends, then sweep away the Fang of the Jackal Wolf with the force of a thunderbolt.

However...

"A plan is still just a plan, and it's not possible for everything to go as desired."

If accidents were not to occur, why would he need to prepare various war resources and killing techniques in advance, and why prepare hundreds of strategic contingency plans?

He would regret that things had not progressed according to the initial evolution, but would not sigh with regret, much less shrink from battle in panic.

If a disaster comes, they would crush it.

Now, with the support of Shen Linglong, reinforcements from the Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge, and his own elevation to LV5 in the Tianyuan Territory, each of his generals has made significant progress since earlier.

He has General Duo Lai;

He has Major Dead Bone;

He also has himself, the invincible, great Lord Shepherd;

What is there to fear?

Atop the Lord's Altar in the Tianyuan Territory,

Mu Yuan sat in meditation, while his avatar waited on the Staff of Divine Right, acting as a medium and bridge, connecting the vast Lord's Power.

"When a lord stands within the boundaries of their own territory, they can materialize the power of the land and wield it."

If the other Lord's Powers are similar to the powers granted to the Miracle Lord by the rules of Heaven and Earth, then this ability is tangible power.

It may be called "Territorial Power," akin to a weakened version of the Power of the World, with a hint of the power of destiny.

It is difficult to wield Territorial Power and apply it to actual combat. Mu Yuan understood how to wield Territorial Power on the first day, entering the 'Lord's Grand Power Mode,' but to truly apply this power in combat, he would need constant practice and mastery.

He brought his hands together, and his vision stretched infinitely, as if his consciousness was breaking through the clouds.

He could intimately sense the elemental particles within the coverage of his territory and call upon that power. Even if he wasn't a legend, as long as he was within his territory and wielded the Territorial Power, his control over the elements and Power of Heaven and Earth would surpass that of a legend.

Furthermore,

In 'Lord's Grand Power Mode,' the entire territory became his extended arm, transforming into a source of strength. As long as he was within the territory, he would receive a tremendous boost, as if with a thought he could move the heavens and the earth, his word could create the world, and he seemed to become a diety.

A diety, only an illusion, but at that moment, his consciousness expanded boundlessly, and with a wave of his hand, the invisible Territorial Power transformed into tangible "Power of Seal" and "Power of Heaven and Earth."

These were two basic applications he had developed.

Even as basic applications, it was only with experience using the "Wraith Sacred Mountain" skill that he managed to master them quickly.

Otherwise, for seasoned lords who had not reached the Legendary Realm, even years of contemplation and practice might not enable them to truly apply Territorial Power in combat.

"The third application is amplification."

"Using Territorial Power as firewood to amplify a certain skill, causing it to transform. Or to put it another way, using Territorial Power to replace one's own energy to execute a skill."

The third combat application took Mu Yuan days to become proficient.

After all, Territorial Power was limited and once depleted, very difficult to recover. With war looming, Mu Yuan dared not truly expend Territorial Power, only occasionally entering 'Lord's Grand Power Mode,' then had to deduce and extrapolate on his own, or seek guidance from someone like Shen Linglong.

Three modes were sufficient for use.
