Soon, four days passed.
At this moment, on the battlefield, two vastly different forces clashed. On one side, 147 Heavenly Soldiers, their silver armor gleaming under the dim light, wielded spears that dripped with the dark green blood of their foes.
Their disciplined formation stood in stark contrast to the ferocity and savagery of the Hell Demons, nightmarish creatures from the Abyss. Each Hell Demon stood at least eight feet tall, their ashen gray skin covered in blackened scales that absorbed light, exuding an aura of malevolence.
As the battle raged on, the clash of spears and demonic fists created shockwaves that rippled through the air. Whenever a Hell Demon's massive fist met a Heavenly Soldier's spear, the impact sent tremors through the ground. Despite their terrifying appearance and sheer numbers, the Hell Demons were no match for the superior strength and skill of the Heavenly Soldiers.
"Hold the line!" a young man behind the soldiers suddenly spoke. Who could it be other than Qin Tian? In his hands was a floating zither, his voice steady amidst the chaos.
With a coordinated thrust, the soldiers moved as one, their spears piercing through demonic flesh with ease. The Hell Demons roared in fury, their attacks growing more desperate as they were cut down.
Qin Tian's eyes scanned the battlefield, making quick observations. "Those demons sure are persistent. Too bad persistence doesn't equal skill," he thought, a smirk playing on his lips.
His attention was drawn to a particularly massive Hell Demon, a General among their ranks, who was directing the demons with guttural commands. The Level 30 Epic-quality Hell Demon General was a fearsome sight, towering even above his brethren, his eyes burning with an unholy fire.
The young man's eyes closed for a moment, before opening them fiercely as his fingers danced across the strings, producing a haunting melody
"Let's see how you handle this," Qin Tian murmured.
The Hell Demon General's gaze locked onto Qin Tian, sensing the source of the music's power. With a roar, he charged towards Qin Tian, his immense form bulldozing through the ranks of his own troops.
"Time to end this," Qin Tian muttered, his fingers never ceasing their movement across the zither strings.
As the Hell Demon General closed in, Qin Tian's melody shifted, becoming sharper and more intense. A visible sound wave, like a blade of pure energy, formed in the air and shot towards the charging demon. The sound wave sliced through the air with incredible speed, hitting the Hell Demon General squarely in the chest.
The impact was devastating. The Hell Demon General's momentum halted abruptly as the sound wave penetrated his chest, a look of shock and pain contorting his grotesque features. The energy from the sound wave expanded within him, causing his body to convulse violently.
"The Abyss will remember y—" the Hell Demon General began, but a moment later, his chest exploded, showering the battlefield with dark, putrid blood.
Within minutes, the battlefield was littered with the corpses of the Hell Demons. The Heavenly Soldiers stood victorious, their armor stained with the blood of their enemies.
Qin Tian gently set the zither aside and stood, surveying the aftermath of the battle. His eyes met those of his soldiers, and he gave a nod of approval. The Heavenly Soldiers responded with a salute.
"Well done," Qin Tian said.
'I wonder how Bai Qi and Luo Yi are doing so far?' Qin Tian thought. Thinking of the blood-thirsty look that Bai Qi showed in the battlefield, and the demonic face that Luo Yi makes when she's also out in the battlefield, Qin Tian couldn't help but shiver.
"A bloodthirsty demon and a crazy witch. How come they were the ones that I got from the Immortal Recruitment Token. Couldn't they have given me other heroes with a much more refined personality?" Qin Tian couldn't help but complain to the Heavenly Dao System.
Since he was out of combat now, Qin Tian used the ability of the Ziwei Emperor Palace to where Bai Qi was stationed, only to see Bai Qi rampaging on the Hell Demon General.
The General couldn't even fight back. Bai Qi was like a whirlwind of death, his spear flashing as he relentlessly pummeled the demon, not giving it a moment to recover. The Hell Demon General was being tossed around like a ragdoll.
Qin Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Holy smokes! This guy's like a blender," he muttered, rubbing his temples. "He's making demon soup out there."
In fact, Bai Qi could instantly kill this General, however, he was now under the influence of Blood Madness, which was a state that Bai Qi enters where he goes into a frenzy once he kills too many monsters. The only thing that could calm him down was either finishing the enemy completely, or through Qin Tian.
Qin Tian sighed and plucked his zither. Soon, Bai Qi who was going on a frenzy slowly came back to his senses and finished the General with one one. The General couldn't even speak as Bai Qi pierced his mouth with his blood-red spear.
"I'm sorry, My Lord. I can't stop myself from entering this state when I kill too many enemies." Bai Qi said embarrassedly. Blood Madness was a new passive skill that Bai Qi awakened when he finished the fifth day of the Beast Siege event.
[Bai Qi (Demigod Hero)]

[Blood Madness (Passive Skill): When Hero Bai Qi is stained with the blood of his enemies, he enters a frenzy mode that seeks to only destroy the enemy with the slowest death. During this mode, his attribute all gets a +200% increase]
"It's alright. You may now rest and calm your spirit, Bai Qi." Qin Tian replied with a smile. Now, Bai Qi was already Nascent Soul IV, now closer to Qin Tian's level of Nascent Soul V. Meanwhile, the soldiers that originally followed them in the 1st to 3rd day were in Nascent Soul I.
His soldiers have now expanded to 590, which was the result of him upgrading the Heavenly Soldier Camp, and his recruitment quota has now reached 200 per day because it already reached Level 20.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Soldier Camp could only reach so far because upgrading it to Level 21 or higher requires a 3-star beast core, which is basically non-existent in this stage due to the lack of stronger enemies.
After checking on Bai Qi's situation, he teleported to Luo Yi's side. When he got to Luo Yi's battlefield, the battle was already finished, and Luo Yi was meditating on the tent.
Luo Yi was an enchanting woman with purplish hair. Her eyes glowed purple, and the lower half of her face was covered in a black veil. She wore a skintight white dress and skirt that made her look ethereal.
Sensing Qin Tian's arrival, Luo Yi stood up and cupped her fists in respect,
"My Lord."
Then, Luo Yi went back to meditating as if nothing had happened. Qin Tian was speechless, but this was how Luo Yi is.
Luo Yi is a Mythical Hero he summoned using the Immortal Recruitment Token that he transformed from a Common Hero Recruitment Token he got from the 4th day of the Beast Siege.
Different from his other summons. Instead of using clean and pure Qi, Luo Yi used Demon Qi, which was a more twisted version of Qi. But having a twisted energy system doesn't mean that the user is necessarily twisted also. Of course, it was different for Luo Yi who was also twisted.
Luo Yi is the reincarnation of the Sect Master of the Immortal Demon Sect, a bonafide Immortal Sect. Which means that Luo Yi was a past Immortal Emperor in her life. However, Luo Yi doesn't know this, only Qin Tian who saw her background information which was sent by the Heavenly Dao System.

[Demonic Qi (Passive Skill): Any being weaker than Luo Yi in all five attributes contaminated by Luo Yi's Demonic Qi will become a living corpse that can be controlled by Luo Yi once they die. The living corpse can only live up to a day]
"I'm afraid that if people saw Luo Yi, they'll think that she's an introvert. Oh, boy how wrong they are."
Luo Yi turned into a fighting madman once she stepped onto the battlefield, using her bare hands to tear her enemies apart, which was incredibly bloody and ruthless. However, after the battle ended, her personality seemed to change to that of a cultivator who only sought the Dao.
Afterwards, Qin Tian checked the situation in that one direction where there were no heroes stationed. In this direction, he stationed 149 soldiers and the three Sect masters of a medium-sized Sect.
Yes, in the matter of four days, he accumulated a total of six Immortal Population Tokens, and he now had a total of six Sect Masters hailing from middle-sized Sects or six Peak Unity Realm. Unfortunately, they still didn't have the chance to break through to Nirvana Realm.
In addition, the total population of his territory has also reached 150,000. The immortal villages in the territory numbered 30, small-sized sects as much as 18, and the size of the territory has reached an outstanding amount of 786 square kilometers, making him the Lord with the largest territory in the Novice Trial event since Global Lords started.
Once Qin Tian teleported to the Western Frontier, there was no blood splashed, and the six Peak Unity Realms were having fun and talking on the ground. Seeing Qin Tian, they immediately approached him and instantaneously arrived at him.
"My Lord," the six cupped their fists.
"What's the situation here? How come I don't see any blood splashed here?" Qin Tian asked, puzzled.
"Well, my Lord, us six here took turns in pressuring the enemy so they couldn't move, and the Heavenly Soldiers just harvested the leeks so that they could increase their experience and level up," one of the old fogies spoke with a grin.
"Well, I'll be damned," Qin Tian said, shaking his head in amazement.
