Qin Tian stood atop the clouds, gazing out over his vast realm. The landscape stretched endlessly, there were flying immortals everywhere, cities bustled with life, and his troops patrolled the borders, ensuring peace across the land. The Immortal Realm was his, every inch of it under his control.
"Lord, the Immortal Realm has now conquered every land there is." said a messenger, bowing deeply.
"Good. Now, the Immortal Realm is no more, and will now simply be called the Immortal World." Qin Tian smiled and felt proud.
Suddenly, the dream started to fade, the edges of his vision blurring. The mountain, the cities, and the people all dissolved into a hazy mist. Qin Tian stirred, slowly waking up to the early light of dawn filtering through his window.
"What is it really a dream… It felt so real…" Qin Tian frowned
Qin Tian shook his head. He got up and stretched. "Time to get to work," he muttered, heading straight to the Immortal Shield Guard Barracks.
"Recruit 300 Immortal Shield Guards," he commanded.
A familiar pillar of light descended, and the shining silver armor of the guards appeared first, followed by the rest of their impressive forms.
Next, he went to the Heavenly Soldier Camp. "Recruit 300 Heavenly Soldiers," he ordered.
Another pillar of light appeared, revealing rows of Heavenly Soldiers with their silver armor and long spears.
He gathered both groups of soldiers in the training grounds. "Listen up!" he shouted. "You Shield Guards will be at the front lines, forming a wall with your shields. Heavenly Soldiers, you'll be right behind them, poking your spears through the gaps. This way, both of you can gain experience and level up quickly."
With a thought, he teleported Bai Qi to the training grounds and told him,
"There is no time for these soldiers to cultivate. Have them train with each other and form a formation. This way, they will still be able to contend with the demons that'll come out later."
Bai Qi nodded and started to order the soldiers.
'Even though there is a large gap between the demons and the new soldiers I've recruited, my soldiers are Mythical quality, and they have Legendary armor. It doesn't necessarily mean that they can go one on one, but with the cooperation of my two types of soldiers, they can defeat them and level up.'
Qin Tian bet that the cannon fodder of the Abyss Invasion will be Rare-quality, small squad leaders will be Epic, army leaders will be Legendary, and the General, which is the so-called 'Final Boss' will be Mythical.
Meanwhile, his ordinary troops were of Mythical quality, and their armors are Legendary quality. A level 1 Mythical Troop is enough to deal with a Level 10 Rare Troop. Now, his Mythical Troop also has the Racial Attribute of Primordial Humans.
Not to mention Level 20 Rare Troops, even Level 30 Rare Troops could be defended against. Even if things go south, he also has the level upped soldiers behind, and Bai Qi and Lou Yi. He also has the Immortal Sky Piercers.
Soon, hours passed, and noon soon came.
[Ding! The last day of the Beast Siege event has started!]
[Calculating…]
[Your territory will be facing 35 waves of beasts]
[Ding! It is detected that you have item: Abyss Mark (Mythical)!]
[The Beast Siege event and the Abyss Invasion will now merge. Instead of facing beasts, you will face demons from the abyss]
[Calculating…]
[Your territory will be facing 5 waves of beasts]
[Good luck, Lord]
What!?
What!?
"F*ck!"
Qin Tian couldn't help but curse.
Beast Siege event and Abyss Invasion are two different things. In the Beast Siege event, you face beasts that come from everywhere, while in an Abyss Invasion, the demons typically just come from one portal in one direction.
Then, after an Abyss has taken a Lord Crystal, they can breed a Brood Mother that will spawn countless Abyss demons that are not restricted by the rules of the Lords Realm. That's how the Abyss can put up a fight in the Novice Domain Lords Realm.
"Shit, all my defenses were scattered. I did not expect this to develop in this direction. In addition, the demons that I will be facing will not be restricted by the Novice Trial rules, and can even be strengthened by the Heavenly Dao System." Qin Tian frowned.
Soon, a huge purple thunder suddenly came from the heavens, and broke space itself, and a huge purple portal appeared in the North.
Seeing this, Qin Tian hurriedly teleported himself, Bai Qi, Luo Yi, and the troops to the North. Meanwhile, he had the village chief and the guards of the Immortal Villages come to the rear of his troops, so in case something happens, they could quickly come and help.
While the Sect masters of the small-sized and middle-sized sects also came, along with their disciples and elders. They were the last line of defense. Of course, they would also take action if they saw that the situation in the frontline was looking grim.
Soon, a small head poked in the portal. It was a dark orange small demon wearing ordinary leather armor. It looked like a goblin, but its skin color was different, and it was giving off an ominous aura.
[Goblin Demon Scout (Rare)]
[Level 30]
[Strength: 35]
[Agility: 38]
[Physique: 33]
[Spirit: 29]
Qin Tian frowned upon seeing its attributes. "Just a Demon Scout has higher attributes than my main combat force, the Heavenly Soldiers. A Qi Gathering I Heavenly Soldier has a general attribute of 30, which is already high."
"However, with the cooperation of my two kinds of troops, and the quality of their equipment, they can kill it easily," he thought.
Without giving the Goblin the time to react, the Heavenly Soldiers immediately rushed up to the Goblin, and one of them poked his spear at the Goblin Demon.
Seeing the Heavenly Soldier coming at him, and his weak aura, the Goblin Demon sneered and took out a small scimitar and slashed at the incoming spear. However, as soon as the spear came in to contact with it, the scimitar was broken into pieces.
"Putangina?!" the Goblin cursed in the language of the Abyss. Qin Tian couldn't understand it, but judging from the tone, it did not sound friendly.
Seeing this, the complexion of the Goblin Demon changed and tried to run. However, many Heavenly Soldiers surrounded him and poked their spears at him, successfully ending its life.
"Good work!" Qin Tian shouted. "Keep up the formation."
Afterwards, Qin Tian sensed the aura of the Heavenly Soldiers and the Immortal Shield Guards, and he could feel that it improved a bit. Two or three more Goblin Demons and they would be able to level up.
Soon, another small head poked its way out of the portal and was greeted with spears again. This scene repeated again and again for fifteen minutes before they finally stopped.
Another type of demon came out of the portal. This time, it was a flying-type demon. It had the legs of an eagle, and the upper body of a Hell Demon. There were also gray wings behind its back, propelling it.
[Demon Harpy (Rare)]
[Level 30]
[Strength: 36]
[Agility: 38]
[Physique: 35]
[Spirit: 32]
However, before the Demon Harpy could flap its wing again, it suddenly let out a screech as it felt a huge pressure descend onto it, disabling his ability to fly. The Demon Harpy fell down face first, and the Heavenly Soldiers took the opportunity to stab it.
The portal spawned near the Great Wall and the Immortal Sky Piercer Tower, and the flying restrictions of the Great Wall reached the scope of the portal.
At this time, the Immortal Shield Guards were still resting, and the Heavenly Soldiers were the ones who were actively killing the enemy. Anyways, both of them were now at Qi Gathering VII, which was already a huge improvement. A Heavenly Soldier can now stand against a Harpy by himself .
This scene also repeated for another 15 minutes, before any major changes happened.
Now, instead of Demon Goblins or Demon Harpies, this time, a much more organized army came out.
Qin Tian had the Soldiers retreat to the Arrow Tower, where Bai Qi and the other troops were stationed.
At the front of the enemy were demons who only had one arm, and their arm was transformed into a huge shield that was even bigger than their 10-foot-high frames.
Next were demons who had their hands also converted into weapons. Some had scythes, some had swords, and some even had bows. It was a mess. But their formation was incredibly organized, imitating medieval humans.
On the back of the formation was a huge elephant, towering over 10 meters high. The back of the elephant was converted into a small open balcony, where there was a chair.
In that chair, Qin Tian felt a huge aura. He scanned the Demon.
[Elite Demon (Legendary)]
[Level 50]
[Strength: 78]
[Agility: 76]
[Physique: 77]
[Spirit: 61]
"Prepare for battle!" Qin Tian shouted.
The air was thick with tension. The ground trembled as the demon army advanced. Qin Tian's heart raced, but he tried to remain calm.
"This is it," he thought. "We must hold the line."
