Xu Yang was helpless in this matter; his military strength was limited, as were his heroes, so he couldn't afford to divide his forces to deal with these people, one by one.
Consequently, his gains noticeably decreased. Although he could still conquer territories and plunder resources, he was missing out on various spoils of war.
Continuing to whittle away like this was also pointless. If he had been his prime self, Xu Yang wouldn't have minded being invincible for a few hundred years, employing a strategy of wearing them down while steadily advancing himself.
But now he was an avatar, and should be making rapid progress. Moreover, time waits for no one. In the Earth Immortal Realm, Azure Star Realm, and the contemporary world, a pile of issues and troubles awaited his resolution. He needed to push forward quickly, break through the situation, and solve the problems.
Therefore...
"You have completed the Advanced Task—Taiping Yellow Heaven!"
