Chapter 510 – Gathering Miracle Power, Transcendent Epic Building

The resplendent light descending from heaven and earth had long since vanished.

The gloomy clouds and Crimson Mist that once shrouded the mountain skies had nearly completely dissipated, leaving only faint wisps of crimson mist drifting through the world.

In the distance, the turbid river waters gradually cleared, while withered trees began sprouting new buds.

Thanks to this massive purification event, the Crimson Mist concentration across the entire Shattered Isle Region would drop to levels even lower than their Ten Directions Island Region.

Even the scarlet tendril that had torn through the sky was visibly shrinking by two sizes.

“There are still some post-war matters to handle next.”

“Warriors who are injured or severely depleted must rest and recover, while those in relatively good condition can provide support to other regions.”

They were far from idle – on the contrary, they had numerous tasks ahead.

The path forward required careful consideration as well.

Just as Mu Yuan was pondering this, he suddenly detected familiar energy particles rising through the air like fireflies.

“It’s Miracle Light.”

He ‘saw’ in the distance – Azure Mountain Lord appearing relaxed, Rain Dust Lord wearing a smile – colorful light emerging from them, floating upward like fireflies.

He ‘saw’ lords organizing their armies in the distance, powerful beings showing off their gains, elite soldiers clearing monster camps, Taixuan legends hunting down monsters…

Colorful light clusters emerged from all these individuals.

His gaze even transcended vast distances to witness numerous light clusters appearing within the war fortress of the Shattered Isle Warzone.

These light clusters were the same Miracle Evolution Power he normally gathered from his own troops.

Now, even commanders and soldiers not from Tianyuan City were producing Miracle Power?

“So this is the key,” Mu Yuan realized.

Since barely grasping the fundamentals of Miracle Power application, he had understood that everyone – every living being – contained Miracle Power within them. This power constantly generated and dissipated.

Yet he couldn’t collect Miracle Power from non-core troops.

Including his own citizens.

He had long recognized that a crucial element was missing.

And now, the half-day-long great battle had become that key to gathering Miracle Power.

“The root isn’t the war itself, but the miraculous victory.”

“In the eyes of pioneer lords like Azure Mountain and Rain Dust, the Shattered Isle Warzone defeating numerous powerful enemies including Ice Burial Grand Duke with limited strength was nothing short of a miracle.”

Had he not worked to evolve commanders like Deadbone and Dolai, even with everyone’s utmost efforts, they couldn’t have defeated Ice Burial Grand Duke and numerous Hunting Grand Dukes after just over a year of cultivation.

Undoubtedly, this too was a form of miracle.

He had created miracles, achieved miraculous battles, thus enabling the gathering of Miracle Power.

“This is also because I’ve grasped the fundamentals of Miracle Power, otherwise…”

He had fought several major battles before, some even more dangerous and miraculous.

No Miracle Light clusters had emerged back then.

Or perhaps they had appeared, but his realm wasn’t sufficient to observe or collect them.

He pondered.Mu Yuan stretched out his palm, and the countless clusters of miraculous light surged toward him like baby swallows returning to their nest.

“Miracle Power +100,000.”

“Miracle Power +150,000.”

“Miracle Power +220,000.”

As the vast Miracle Power poured in, the lake in Mu Yuan’s palm used to contain this power gradually filled to the brim!

Bad news: It overflowed!

Good news: The collection of Miracle Power was almost complete.

“5,000,000” (Maximum capacity)

He had previously had less than a million units of Evolution Power left, but this time it skyrocketed to the point where even the Lake of Miracles couldn’t contain it all.

Unbelievable!

Most of this Miracle Power came from the soldiers in the Shattered Isle Warzone, with a small portion from the residents, elves, giants, and other passersby in the Ten Directions Island Region.

However, the number of soldiers in the Shattered Isle Warzone wasn’t particularly large.

Just one or two hundred pioneer teams, each possessing one or two, or two or three Army Soul Legions, with each legion comprising about a thousand elite soldiers.

Some of these elite soldiers still hadn’t developed intelligence or had relatively low intelligence levels, so they had to be excluded.

—In Tianyuan City, even Little Skeletons without awakened intelligence could generate Evolution Power, but Mu Yuan noticed that non-intelligent elite soldiers in the warzone couldn’t provide clusters of Miracle Power.

Presumably, this was because their intelligence was insufficient to comprehend what a miracle was.

Besides the various legions, there were also tens of thousands of logistical personnel in the Shattered Isle Warzone.

Approximately 300,000 people in total.

Yet they directly provided over 4,000,000 units of Miracle Power.

“After all, this is an untapped ‘treasure mine.’ If it weren’t for the upper limit of Miracle Power that living beings can accumulate—and this limit isn’t high—the amount obtainable would far exceed this.”

“This is already more than enough.”

“Moreover, I’ve figured out the method to gather large amounts of Miracle Power.”

Mu Yuan had originally prepared himself mentally for a slow evolution process.

Accumulating for a month to produce one Legend wasn’t slow—in fact, it was quite fast.

One Legend per month meant twelve per year!

And this speed was gradually increasing as the territory developed.

However,

He looked into the distance, at the crimson tendrils piercing through the sky.

“Given the current situation, I’m afraid there aren’t many years left.”

“Now that Evolution Miracles are abundant, I can not only cultivate new Legends but also help Deadbone and Dolai advance further.”

In this great battle, Deadbone and Dolai were the major contributors.

They were also the current peak combat forces of Tianyuan City, far surpassing other generals and powerful beings.

Especially Deadbone.

The Miracle Power required to evolve Deadbone and Dolai was 1,500,000 units.

Just 1,500,000 units.

And this way, the capacity limit of the Lake of Evolution could also be significantly increased. If a situation arose where massive amounts of Miracle Power could be gathered but not fully contained, he would be heartbroken to the point of struggling to breathe.

…

Somewhere in Dragon’s Slumber Valley.

“My King.”

Before a massive dragon head statue, a high-ranking Hunting Grand Duke bowed his head, reporting the situation one by one.

“…Our strategy in the Shattered Isle Region has failed.”

“Ice Burial was defeated by an unknown undead, and Gluttony’s Incarnation was no match for the human wielding the power of the warzone.””Ice Burial and Gluttony have been incompetent in their duties, but that Taixuan human ruling the warzone has indeed repeatedly displayed unexpectedly formidable power.”

“I’ve investigated. That human lord rose at an astonishing speed. Initially, he could only contend with a minor faction attached to us like Jackal Fang, yet before long he annihilated both Jackal Fang and Blood Serpent Embrace, unifying the entire island domain. Now, even without relying on warzone advantages, that human still commands forces capable of slaughtering our Hunting Dukes.”

“This human is clearly exceptionally favored by heaven and earth. I believe we absolutely cannot let him live!”

From the dragon-headed statue, massive amber gems lit up.

The Twilight King spoke, “Granted. This matter is entrusted to you.”

“As you command, Great King.”

The High Hunting Grand Duke Firewing withdrew.

While Ice Burial Grand Duke was known for his caution and Fire Wing for his irritable temperament, in Fire Wing’s view, Ice Burial’s caution was merely superficial—otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen in the Shattered Isle Region.

“Lord Fire Wing, how shall we proceed?” asked a Soul Realm dragon.

Fire Wing already had a plan. “That human Tianyuan’s territory is located in the Ten Directions Island Region, within our assault range. However…”

“Our target isn’t the territory itself, but the human Tianyuan personally.”

“Tianyuan is likely in the Shattered Isle Region now. We need to track his movements and strike with lethal precision.”

Best strategy: Assassinate and eliminate Tianyuan.

Middle strategy: Gather forces and assault the Ten Directions Island Region when Tianyuan returns to his territory.

Worst strategy: Hunt down Tianyuan City’s powerful figures. (Least efficient)

Naturally, he intended to…

Pursue all three.

“Kekekekeke—”

…

Mu Yuan remained unaware that he had attracted the attention of a terrifying Law Realm expert.

After making a brief appearance at the warzone’s War Fortress, he returned to Tianyuan City through the Star Gate with Isloria and Dolai.

“Finally back!”

Dolai stretched lazily, though it frequently traveled back and forth.

Mu Yuan said, “No time to waste. Let’s deploy the Radiant City Defense Barrier immediately.”

“Right, right, I knew it.”

Isloria shrugged and turned, “Number Two, Number Three… Number Eighteen, this task is yours.”

She delegated to her incarnations.

Though the incarnations handled the work, the fatigue remained hers to bear—all her incarnations shared sensory perception.

The main advantage was efficiency, allowing them to finish early and clock out.

In just half an hour,

Ding!

Prompt: ‘Radiant City Defense Barrier (Epic Grade)’ has been established. This barrier features daily mode and high-energy mode. At full power, it can continuously withstand Law Realm attacks. Additionally, the barrier possesses top-tier detection, concealment capabilities, and can deploy internal sub-barriers.

This was the charm of city defense barriers!

Their defensive prowess went without saying. He didn’t plan to rely on the barrier to withstand Law Realm assaults directly, but it would eliminate worries during major battles, ensuring the city wouldn’t suffer from collateral damage.

If they confronted Ice Burial Grand Duke,

and his abyssal, prison-like Law Realm Divine Might descended, most ordinary citizens in the city would likely perish.

During the warzone conflict, various legions and elites could withstand such pressure because the weakest elite soldiers were at least second-tier peak and operated within formation support.

By the time Deadbone and Ice Burial Grand Duke engaged in combat, only a handful of legendary experts dared remain outside the War Fortress.Even ordinary legends would find it difficult to withstand its lingering might.

Detection and concealment abilities are equally important.

With the Radiant City Defense Barrier, monsters like the Faceless One would be instantly detected the moment they step within the barrier’s range.

Even a powerful observer like Isloria, even when using the ‘Starry Sky Eye’, would find it hard to penetrate the city defense barrier to spy on the interior.

Setting up barriers internally means that within the area covered by the city defense barrier, he can continue to set up smaller barriers.

Moreover, if enemies do manage to infiltrate the city, or if unexpected incidents occur leading to battles breaking out inside the city, they can promptly deploy barriers to encapsulate the combat areas.

Compared to the ‘Thousand-Prism Mirror Reflection’, this barrier is not just a few levels higher.

With such a city defense barrier, one can sleep much more soundly.

Isloria said, “This is just a simple setup. To fully unleash the barrier’s power, I still need to make adjustments and require many materials and treasures. Besides, to maintain the barrier, the three Energy Wells in our territory are far from sufficient. We need more Energy Wells!”

“In short, we need money! Money! And more money!”

Mu Yuan replied, “As you wish, no problem.”

The wealthy Lord Mu directly placed an order, exchanging for three Energy Well blueprints and various materials on the Taixuan Covenant Platform.

“Next, there’s one more random opportunity to enhance an epic building.”

He stroked his chin.

Such a gift from heaven and earth was truly seen for the first time.

This opportunity is merely an enhancement, not an upgrade.

If an epic building were to advance further, it would become a legendary building. He had never seen a legendary building, nor had he heard of one.

Legendary buildings are naturally not so easy to obtain.

However, this epic enhancement opportunity is labeled as ‘epic-level’, so it’s probably not bad.

The only drawback is that it randomly selects a building for enhancement.

“Currently, the epic buildings in my Tianyuan City are: the Scepter of Heavenly Authority, the Advanced Mage Tower, the Hall of Heroic Souls, the Ice-Fire Duality, the Radiant City Defense Barrier, and the Guardian Angel, which has not yet been built.”

This is because the Guardian Angel is rather useless.

Regardless of whether his bold idea can be realized or not, there is no need to build the Guardian Angel and contaminate the pool for this random enhancement.

“The Scepter of Heavenly Authority has always played a huge role, and the Radiant City Defense Barrier can be considered the most valuable epic building. It would be most appropriate if the random selection lands on these two.”

Begin!

“Ding!”

“Prompt: ‘Epic Building Enhancement Opportunity’ has been consumed. Randomly selecting a building…”

“Prompt: The building ‘Hall of Heroic Souls’ has been determined.”

Mu Yuan: “…”

This building—if you say it’s not strong, it possesses the legendary ability of resurrection.

As long as a soul binding is performed, no matter how many times the soldiers fall in battle, they can be resurrected and return.

But if you say it’s powerful?

The binding cost is high, the resurrection cost is high, and the ability’s effective range is narrow.

Only within a range of several dozen kilometers around the territory can the fallen be guided back.

However, nowadays, battles between top-tier experts often span hundreds of kilometers.

Thus, the Hall of Heroic Souls has become increasingly useless.

“Ding!””Notice: The epic structure ‘Hall of Heroic Souls’ has been upgraded, expanding its resurrection and retrieval range to cover the entire Ten Directions Island Region. For areas beyond the Ten Directions Island Region, the retrieval range has been increased tenfold. Additionally, Soul Realm cultivators who lodge a wisp of their Divine Soul within the Hall of Heroic Souls will no longer need to prepare other Soul Casket Treasures to revive and return after death.”

“Notice: The epic structure ‘Hall of Heroic Souls’ has been upgraded, gaining the new ability ‘Heroic Soul Monument.’ The Lord or a Hero can erect a Heroic Soul Monument symbolizing the Hall’s authority in a designated area. Once the monument is placed, the surrounding thousand-mile radius will be incorporated into the Hall of Heroic Souls’ retrieval range.”

“Current available uses of Heroic Soul Monument (3/3). This usage count replenishes every three days and cannot be recharged additionally.”

Has the previously mediocre Hall of Heroic Souls undergone a complete transformation?

Mu Yuan pondered, feeling that this version of the Hall of Heroic Souls might be its complete form? A one-life complete form?

He took out the remaining angel statues.

“Now, let’s see if the Guardian Angel can bring some surprises.”
