Chapter 1739: Chapter 583: End of the Development Phase, Beginning of the Turbulent Phase!
After a 45-day development period, most Survivors now had a considerable amount of Ice Dragon Mark resources in their hands.
This price of two hundred thousand was a bit outrageous, but still within reason.
After all, a single Advanced Power Heart already cost fifty thousand Ice Dragon Marks.
An unexpected look appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
"Two hundred thousand for one? That’s actually pretty cheap."
"Breaking through from Fourth Rank to Fifth Rank gives an extra Life Value boost, it’s quite a big leap, so it’s normal for the price to be higher."
"Just right, there are indeed a small batch of Combat Personnel in my Territory who are still at Fourth Rank."
"For example, the Elf Clan that was just recruited into the Territory, and so on."
So, Cao Xing first opened the Giant Dragon Store.
[Do you want to consume Ice Dragon Mark*40,000,000 to exchange for Expert Level Power Heart*200?]
"Yes."
[Exchange successful, Ice Dragon Mark -40,000,000...]
In an instant, two hundred more Hearts of Power appeared in his backpack.
After finishing these, Cao Xing got up from the Lord Castle together with Liu Muxue and came outside the Territory.
At the same time.
The Wandering Swordsman Corps and the Griffin Knight Corps also rushed back from the Territories of Yao Yiming and Ji Xinyue respectively.
Griffin Knight Captain Futage and Wandering Swordsman Zofe came to his side, then each took something out of their backpack.
"Lord, these are the things those two Otherworldly Lords asked us to bring to you."
"Alright."
Cao Xing reached out and took them.
[Obtained: Vettia’s Undead Flute (Orange)]
[Obtained: Tide Axe (Orange)]
...
With the items in hand, a faint smile surfaced on Cao Xing’s face.
The most important among them, of course, was that Undead Flute, which would greatly help his next actions!
He stowed it into his backpack.
Then he gave that Tide Axe to Bojie.
He was still using a Level 50 Epic Battle Axe—Dusk.
This Battle Axe would allow Bojie’s strength to rise another notch.
Plus, with the newly changed Epic Set.
Bojie’s Attribute now was already almost pressing up against Dominator Level Creatures!
"Many thanks, Lord!" This Dragon Blood Warrior Commander said respectfully.
Cao Xing waved his hand, then continued, "Now, all Combat Personnel who are still Fourth Rank, step forward."
In an instant, over a hundred Elves, as well as dozens of scattered Combat Personnel, all stepped out.
Just as Cao Xing had expected, the Combat Personnel of Fourth Rank across the whole Territory numbered roughly only around two hundred.
He distributed all the Hearts of Power in his backpack.
As a string of System Prompts rang out.
From this point on, there were no Combat Personnel below Fifth Rank in Cao Xing’s Territory anymore.
One had to know, for other Lords, a single Fifth Rank expert was already the main force of the Territory.
But on Cao Xing’s side, Fifth Rank was merely the bottom rung.
After finishing the distribution of the Hearts of Power, Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue beside him and said.
"Muxue, I’m going out to take care of some things now. I might not come back for the next two days."
"But don’t worry, I’ll stay in touch with you at all times."
He didn’t tell Liu Muxue what he was going out to do, and this woman didn’t ask more either.
Instead she said with concern, "Alright, Axing... be careful."
"Okay."
After a simple farewell, the Wind Wings on his back trembled, and he vanished directly from where he stood.
No one knew where he went, and no one knew what he was going to do.
...
...
At the same time.
Bordering the territory of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, there was an ancient Kingdom where many Giant Cities towered and the population was huge.
This was the Viren Kingdom.
On a boundless Ice Field in the southwest of the Viren Kingdom’s territory, there stood a gigantic city whose size was no less than that of the Eternal Frost Main City!
This was the Main City of the Viren Kingdom—Sel Main City!
At the center of the Giant City, there was likewise a luxurious Royal Palace.
Previously, those who could enter and exit the Royal Palace were all high-ranking Nobles or military personnel holding key positions.
To the commoners of Sel Main City, the Kingdom was like a Holy Land, Divine and inviolable.
Yet today, something different had happened.
The once heavily guarded Kingdom, full of experts, was now shrouded in a suffocating and tense atmosphere.
On that vast Central Square, a large mass of figures knelt.
The Nobles who once wielded power, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing crowns that symbolized their status, had commanded the Wind in the Kingdom in their daily lives.
Now, however, their hands and feet were bound by massive iron chains, and they were kneeling in ragged rows across the square.
Among them were the once valiant Generals of the Kingdom, as well as the merchants who controlled various economic lifelines, all now kneeling on the ground.
At the very front of these high-ranking figures, there was a figure with an extraordinary bearing.
He wore splendid royal robes and a Crown inlaid with countless gemstones, with waves of terrifying fluctuations occasionally emanating from his body.
This person was also the one with the most chains on him.
These chains passed through his body, piercing his internal organs and limbs, completely pinning him to the spot.
This figure with an extraordinary bearing was the King of Velen, the highest peak of power in the entire Kingdom, possessing Legendary-level War Power.
Yet such a noble and overwhelmingly powerful expert.
Was now just like everyone else, like a wild dog with a broken spine, limbs on the ground.
His former dignity and glory were gone for good!
Beside them.
Nine figures radiating vast auras stood at different corners of the square, as if merged with Heaven and Earth.
Their gazes were cold and sharp, constantly watching the crowd in the square. If anyone made the slightest move, these fearsome existences would strike without hesitation and Slay them!
