Chapter 536: Chapter 341: The Legend of Dead Bone, The Mysterious Merchant Returns (5.8K)_3
"The existence of domains is the reason why legendary figures in the Legendary Realm rarely engage in close-quarters combat. Normally, one would not dare enter the domain of another legend, as it would put oneself at a disadvantage, or even in an inescapable situation. Therefore, confrontations between legends often revolve around a war of attrition."
"But combating with the Power of Heaven and Earth is not just crude force, there are still many tactics involved..."
This textbook was already a Rare Level item, which Mu Yuan had obtained by spending quite a few Contribution Points.
With a light tap from Dead Bone, an image was projected above.
A legendary figure in a robe lightly tapped his staff, and hundreds of red lights appeared around him, hurtling towards their target like meteors. source at m,vle mpyr
This was also a manipulation of the Power of Heaven and Earth.
It emphasized speed and precision.
Of course, the foundation of this method of control was that the powerful individual possessed similar skills and had a very profound Artistic Conception and control.
"This method of combat advocates for speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, drawing the enemy into one's own rhythm and preventing them from amassing a large Power of Heaven and Earth. As long as one firmly controls the rhythm of the battle, it is possible to incapacitate the enemy, leading to their defeat."
This demonstration battle lasted a full two and a half hours.
The 'adversary', mired in a quagmire, was suppressed from start to finish, unable to find an opportunity to turn the tide.
Dead Bone also admitted that such a method of combat had an... artistic sense.
Subsequently, Dead Bone browsed several other more sophisticated combat systems, humbly learning and nodding from time to time.
But it would not choose these systems.
For no other reason than they were too slow.
Even if it could overpower others with strength, it often needed to first break through the enemy's domain before slaying the opposing legend.
Dead Bone flipped to the end.
"There is also an unconventional method of legendary combat, which is similar to the close combat of lower levels. A small number of legends incapable of wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth comfortably might choose this kind of combat."
"Friends who have stepped into the Legendary Realm know that once you step into an enemy's domain, you're at an absolute disadvantage, but if we can tear apart the enemy's domain, there's no need for close combat. So..."
"Before engaging in close combat, we need to use our own domain and transform it into a sharp needle to briefly forge a path."
In the projection,
A legendary figure condensed his domain into a Bridge of Heaven and Earth, brutally penetrating the domain of his adversary.
Both domains trembled.
The red Bridge of Heaven and Earth shook more and more violently, its edges fracturing and shattering, like an ancient bridge crumbling and its broken pieces falling away.
Yet, the wielder of the red domain crossed the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, rushing toward his enemy and striking sword blow after sword blow at vital points.
This method of combat was, from the start, a gamble with one's life.
"We can see that both domains are originally of similar size, but due to the red one's intrusion into the enemy's domain, he needs to use several times more domain power to counteract the enemy's."
"Under these circumstances, if the red legend doesn't gain a quick advantage and injure his opponent, he will soon be at a disadvantage."
"Not only that, because the red legend has already entered the enemy's domain and his own domain is overly depleted, once he is at a disadvantage, he may have no chance to retreat and could fall on the spot."
While in a normal legendary confrontation, one who is at a disadvantage still has many opportunities to escape.
Unlike in close combat.
It's either victory or death.
Even victory does not come easily, with significant self-depletion involved. This is why most legends do not choose close combat unless it is by way of a surprise attack.
"If a friend insists on taking this path, then turning one's domain into a Bridge of Heaven and Earth is a crucial skill. Typically, legends can master this skill in a few months, but continuing practice and refining it to a higher realm can make one's Bridge of Heaven and Earth more stable and last longer. This is important as it concerns one's very life."
Dead Bone strongly agreed.
It expanded its domain.
The Realm of the Dead surged like a tide and, in a moment, began to condense into a black bridge similar to one paved with black iron rock, stretching directly into the distance.
However, the 'Bridge of Heaven and Earth' was far from the ultimate realm.
In this textbook, 'transforming the domain into a boat' and 'merging with the domain' were mentioned as two higher realms.
The second realm, 'transforming the domain into a boat', allows the legend to ride a vessel made from the domain within the enemy's domain, sailing swiftly and with lower consumption, and retaining the possibility of retreat if the battle turns sour.
The third realm, 'merging with the domain', allows the legend to completely condense and merge the domain into one's own body, a phase in which not only can they ignore the influence of the enemy's domain, but they can also receive a massive boost from their own domain.
As for how to achieve these two realms, the legendary figure in the textbook says...
He doesn't understand either.
Whether there are higher realms is also hard to say.
These three realms are paths discovered by the predecessors of Tai Xuan. Merging with the domain is not necessarily the end of the road. And the road does not necessarily have only this one path.
...
"The path of close-quarters combat is indeed more suitable for the Undead. Even at the Four-order Peak, relying on the Power of Wither King Bone, the Undead managed to kill a Legendary."
Mu Yuan also felt it was appropriate.
Of course, Emperor Dead Bone would not limit himself to melee combat or long-range bombardment; he wanted both, and he was keen to develop even more tactics. Only with such capabilities could he cope with various situations and be truly stable.
Mu Yuan also saw that Dead Bone was making rapid progress in solidifying the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.
"Last time, I was able to kill several Legendaries in a short time thanks to the enemy using the Space Urn to envelop myself. Otherwise, Legendaries are not so easy to kill."
"Now that Fang of the Jackal Wolf is on guard, General Duo Lai finds it not so easy to kill a Legendary, and the Undead..."
Below lies the Domain solidification of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth;
Above, Wraith Sacred Mountain assists with the sealing;
Moreover, with the instant death-inducing Power of Witherness, the Undead can instantly kill most Legendaries. Even if the enemy is on guard, it is not necessarily effective.
This is the might of Emperor Dead Bone!
Mu Yuan expressed his sense of security +1+1+1.
Of course, one month later, General Duo Lai also made obvious progress, and his new combat system 'Whale Swallow + Body Furnace' had begun to take shape.
"Now, my Tianyuan Territory possesses the super combat powers of the Undead and Duo Lai, along with the regular Legendary combat power of the Undead legion, so we are quite abundant in high-end strength."
"If a stronger than anticipated enemy from Fang of the Jackal Wolf appears, the Undead can also command the Undead Legion to counter it."
Mu Yuan pondered.
Of course, he still felt that he did not have enough powerful beings in his command.
He would rather have eight or ten super Legendaries of his own.
Ever since he became Lord, he had been working diligently and treading on thin ice, never enjoying the life of a Lord with clouds of maidens.
But he imagined, once his Tianyuan Territory entered an era of Legendary explosion, would he be able to live a stable, joyful, and carefree life?
'Ding!'
'Notice: A special personage "Mysterious Merchant" has entered the territory.'
Mu Yuan was briefly stunned, "This... Double happiness has arrived."
...
The Mysterious Merchant 'Qiye' traveled on the road to Tianyuan Territory.
It had only been over two months since his last visit to Tianyuan Territory.
Being able to arrive here again so quickly, Qiye had used a certain privilege he had just acquired. Otherwise, according to the rules of Eternal World, he would have had to wait a long, long time before revisiting Tianyuan Territory.
He was so eager to progress!
Among his client list, he could not find anyone more generous and with greater purchasing power than Lord Tianyuan.
"However, Tianyuan seems to still be a small territory, with weak ability to resist risks, only with high potential."
"I hope my choice is not wrong."
He, Qiye, had dealt with many Lords in trade, and some were indeed richer than Lord Tianyuan, but those Lords were very stingy, scrimping and saving even when buying rare treasures.
But whether Tianyuan could bring out the same kind of wealth as last time, he was uncertain.
He was making a gamble.
Gambling on a chance to advance.
Gambling that Tianyuan Territory still had money, betting on the future of Tianyuan.
The road ahead was gradually becoming clear.
The fog lifted, and Qiye slowly descended from mid-air, his eyes suddenly widening.
In front of him, mountains soared high with a majestic fortress erected at midmountain. Not far away, a gorge ran straight to the end of the horizon, within which lightning and fire interwove, bursting continuously.
This place... he hadn't taken a wrong turn, had he?
Qiye glanced at the panel; the information displayed that he had already arrived near Tianyuan Territory. No mistake.
Swoosh—!
An arrow broke the sound barrier, vanishing into the depths of the sky.
Qiye looked afar and saw, kilometers away, monsters being penetrated by arrows, dropping dead one after another, including Four-order Monsters.
Is this really Tianyuan Territory?
Qiye fell into thought.
