Chapter 305: Legion Talent: Chase Devil Sweep Filth

~12 min read 2,289 words

Legion Talent was originally an ability possessed only by Legend-rank military strategist officers, a comprehensive manifestation of the abilities one masters.

But Mu Yi, with his Transcendent body, has already crossed the Legend threshold, having slain several Legends, so that boundary has become blurred in the midst of slaughter.

After all, for a military strategist, being able to fight is the only ironclad rule; all other rules are made to be broken.

Of course, because Mu Yi himself has a deficiency in strength, he needs more soldiers to activate this power.

Through the sublimation of all his own abilities, aided by the will of the soldiers that gives rise to it.

It is the ultimate result of the union of Officer Mu Yi's own will and the soldiers' will, manifesting amidst the heaven and earth essence.

Mu Yi's Legion Talent is simple, for it was born in revenge and slaughter, so its ability is closely tied to revenge and slaughter.

"Just call it Chase Devil Sweep Filth!"

Feeling the power brought by this Legion Talent, a smile appeared on Mu Yi's face; he had truly taken another step forward.

War is indeed the best catalyst for a military strategist.

【Legion Talent: Chase Devil Sweep Filth】

Talent Effect 1:

Mark a type of enemy for revenge, carry out a thorough pursuit; after successfully killing the enemy, you gain a corresponding boost, and the more revenge kills you make, the greater the boost.

Each time you complete a heaven-and-earth-approved revenge pursuit, the entire army receives a permanent passive buff, each base buff being ten percent.

Talent Effect 2:

Awaken the soldiers' will for revenge, greatly strengthening the reality-warping effect, solidifying the will-warping effect into increased basic physique; the more soldiers, the stronger the basic quality enhancement.

Actually, Mu Yi can feel that this Talent is actually incomplete, as if something is missing.

But for Mu Yi now, it is already more than enough.

No need to mark; before his eyes, the Mongol Army naturally became the target of revenge pursuit under the will of the Revenge Army.

"Kill!"

Mu Yi's roar rang out almost across the wilds.

The effect of Legion Talent interacted with the Independent Belief Region, a vast amount of will poured into reality-warping, all soldiers began to grow stronger, strengthening from the most basic physique.

All the soldiers seemed to become more robust, the revenge flames burning on their bodies becoming more active.

"Kill!"

Like thunder exploding on the ground, the army's overall dissonance from dispersion vanished completely; although they began to dissect the Mongol Army from all directions, each legion moved in perfect sync.

Like a raging tide, they crushed all resistance before them.

"Fire arrows!"

Mu Yi's command, conveyed through the gathered will, reached the ranged archers, who reflexively drew their bowstrings.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three thunderclaps exploded; the nearly uniform ranged units, guided by will, shot the arrows in their hands.

When the arrows fell, the gathered Mongol soldiers collapsed like wheat; the enhanced ranged units now had each arrow possess a one-hit-kill effect.

After the three volleys of rain arrows shot down those gathered Mongol soldiers, reducing them to scattered formations before they could regroup again.

Chang Haoran, wrapped in blood-colored armor, roared as he appeared before this batch of Mongol soldiers.

The scattered Mongol soldiers could not resist the sudden shock cavalry; in the shaking process they were trampled, becoming flesh and blood mixed into the mud.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All soldiers shouted, their momentum rising steadily; relying on their overbearing will, they began to directly dispel the Cloud Energy weakened by constant division.

Relying on the overbearing gathered will, they directly warped reality, began to strip the Mongol Army's Cloud Energy, shattered the enemy's buffs, and greatly enhanced the power of each of their own soldiers.

The frenzied Mu Family Army turned into a blood-red torrent; wherever it passed lay severed limbs and arms.

Mu Yi felt he had never fought such an exhilarating war; he waved his blade like a swimming dragon, blood splattering along his silhouette.

However, the Mongol soldiers, under this frenzied assault, did not scatter; those whose will was warped could not respond to the Mongol officer's Legion Talent, nor would they fear battle.

Even with a huge gap, they still, under the Mongol officer's command or spontaneously, attempted to snipe the Mu Family Army to break formations; though weak, this was the foundation that kept the Mongol soldiers from collapsing.

"Fall back to me, organize formation and counterattack!"

A Mongol officer desperately mobilized the surrounding soldiers, began to build a defensive line, trying to restore order amidst the chaos to snipe at Mu Yi and his men.

His body flickered with a light similar to Legion Talent, but not a single soldier could respond to him.

"Heh, commendable courage!"

Mu Yi praised him, then began to link will with Cloud Energy; as Mu Yi fixed the Cloud Energy structure, the Cloud Energy surged wildly into the weapons.

Even if Mu Yi drew a large amount of Cloud Energy, the Cloud Energy above the army showed no decrease; will-warped reality made the Cloud Energy seem to appear out of nowhere.

"Die!"

Without any mercy, he swung his blade ruthlessly.

A Cloud Energy attack nearly a hundred zhang in length swept over the Mongol officer.

At that moment, the Legend-rank Mongol officer's hair stood on end; he even saw the space warp, but he could not avoid it and had no ability to dodge.

Will locked firmly onto him, giving him no chance to escape.

Unable to even utter a cry, the legion attack formed from the Cloud Energy of ten thousand people struck directly; the instant the Mongol officer was locked onto, he was vaporized by this powerful attack, leaving not even a trace.

The mighty impact instantly blasted a huge crater into the ground.

【Zongwang Prompt: You have slain a Legend with your Transcendent body; your title mission—Legend Glory, progress updated, currently 5/10.】

Killing a Legend was as easy as swatting a mosquito; if not for the prompt on his retina, Mu Yi would hardly have felt anything.

"There are still many enemies!"

Mu Yi lifted his gaze to the battlefield; though he had already killed many, the Mongol soldiers remained a black mass, seeming boundless.

"The killing speed is too slow; if only we had twice the manpower..."

Mu Yi stared at the seemingly undiminished enemy numbers, then suddenly had an idea.

In the essentials Bai Qi once taught, Iron-blooded Slaughter actually has another use: extracting its negative consciousness and, via a reality‑distorting method, giving it tangible form to join the fight—that is the Shadow Soldiers.

The most negative effect of the Iron-blooded Slaughter talent is that, by slaughtering and draining enemies' life force, it draws killing and murderous qi from the battlefield, impacting one's consciousness; reason dwindles and one becomes a killing machine.

When Mu Yi first activated his Elite Talent, he went berserk in the Goblin Dungeon, to the point he wasn't even clear how he died.

Later, Mu Yi took a different path, combining Iron-blooded Slaughter with the Asura Path to develop Asura Armor; it still absorbs killing qi and drains enemies' life force to strengthen the armor's power, thereby avoiding the consciousness‑jarring impact of that killing qi.

Not using it doesn't mean it doesn't exist; the Asura warriors of the Asura Path are themselves spiritual lives born of negative consciousness, essentially the same as the Shadow Soldiers Bai Qi spoke of.

At this moment, Mu Yi had a flash of inspiration: since he could transform this process, he could likewise run it in reverse.

Talents aren't so immutable—look, Iron-blooded Slaughter in Bai Qi's hands became the Blood God Son, capable of creating life out of nothing.

Now I think back, the blood‑colored monsters Bai Qi provoked during his test of them were precisely an upgraded form of Shadow Soldiers and Asuras.

Or perhaps that is the true, proper Asura.

Mu Yi actually felt strong resistance when using his talent in reverse, but his omnipotent will once again took effect, directly warping reality, skipping the process and manifesting the result.

"Asura Path!"

Nearly ten thousand Asura warriors constructed from blood‑shadow appeared on the battlefield; unlike previous Asura warriors, these had no consciousness whatsoever.

Formed of killing qi and gore, they neither die nor tire; they only kill.

The price, however, is that all the power accumulated on the Asura Armor is released, and everything ever gathered within the Asura Path is unleashed.

Compared to the original Asuras, this large batch of blood‑shadow Asuras is stronger; their power even exceeds that of the troops under Mu Yi's command.

The only drawback may be that they cannot endure long; without replenishment of killing qi and gore, they are destined to fade naturally from the world.

Mu Yi could feel it wasn't a talent problem but his own; if he could go further, perhaps he could make these blood‑shadow Asuras also endure long in the village.

The emergence of nearly ten thousand fearless blood‑shadow Asuras, who can trade life for life, boosted the slaughter speed by a large margin.

After being slain, killing qi and blood qi reshape their bodies, allowing them to rejoin the battle.

With this large batch of death‑defying reinforcements, the slaughter speed instantly surged.

With Chu Yi's assistance, Mu Yi led his guard unit back and forth through the army, hunting the Mongol officers whose positions Chu Yi had located.

The Mongol soldiers were numerous, but their officers were limited in number.

When the last Mongol officer fell beneath Mu Yi's blade, the Mongol army's Cloud Energy collapsed completely.

Without the Cloud Energy's suppression, Mu Yi and the other officers instantly regained their full strength.

No longer needing to hack foe by foe, he drew on Cloud Energy to unleash dozens of legion attacks, vaporizing the blood‑shadow Asuras and the entangled Mongol soldiers together.

Before, after exhausting effort, they had killed fewer than thirty thousand; when the Cloud Energy dissipated.

Mu Yi and his men's slaughter speed leapt astonishingly; each legion attack could claim dozens, even hundreds of Mongol troops.

Especially when these Mongol soldiers knew no retreat, only how to charge the enemy, he needed only to keep swinging his blade and launching legion attacks to vaporize all foes.

"Now it's your turn!"

Mu Yi ignored the besieged old home; the incense‑golden body plus earth‑vein authority was enough to hold out for a while.

Rather than turning back now and letting the enemy stall, it was better to take advantage of their dispersed strength and strike straight at the Yellow Dragon.

Mu Yi unfurled a barrier, packing up everything within the battlefield.

Within the Asura Path, the blood‑shadow Asuras dissipated much more slowly, which also gave Mu Yi greater confidence.

At the same time Mu Yi felt feedback from the Legion Talent; after this war, the Legion Talent's permanent bonus increased by fifteen percent, and due to the numbers it rose another half.

Applied to the whole army, that half‑percent addition was quite considerable.

After all, on an army measured in tens of thousands, even a slight boost looks astonishing overall.

Guided by Chu Yi, they sped all the way.

The Mongol ruler's position was easy to find; he had no intention of evading, simply staying wholly within the capital.

The moment Mu Yi set foot near the capital, he sensed terrifying wailing vengeful spirits.

From all directions, wandering souls continually drifted toward the capital, while the banners previously shattered remained planted everywhere.

Constantly, souls dissipated within a heaven‑piercing, earth‑splitting blood light.

Mu Yi's choice was correct; if they kept delaying, who knows what monster the blood sacrifice would spawn.

"Damn it! These bastards! What did they treat life as?!"

Mu Yi could hear the lament of heaven and earth; the dead were not merely the living things of the world, it seemed the very cosmos lay within the blood sacrifice's scope.

"Give me a shake!"

Mu Yi wore a grim face, using the Mountain Water Seal together with Chu Yi to begin leveraging the earth veins, hoping to directly shatter the capital with an earthquake.

The earth began to tremble, cracks spreading everywhere on the ground, as if an earthquake were about to strike.

Yet as the earth shook, countless beams of blood‑red light burst from the city, spreading downward into the ground and forcibly suppressing all movement.

Mu Yi could feel that the earth they had just manipulated lost its response.

By some unknown means, the enemy severed their authority over the earth.

"They really have methods…"

He curled his lip; Mu Yi intended to let go and try another way.

However, through the Thousand‑mile Eye, Mu Yi saw the city's scenery, and the hand he had just lowered rose again.

Rather than say this is a human capital,

it is more like a demon's lair, and some even believe this place is a layer of hell.

The city is filled with numerous magical implements and altars, no different from those Mu Yi previously destroyed in the city, each imprisoning countless tormented vengeful spirits.

Within the city there are no humans left; the living have basically begun to mutate completely.

The earlier trembling of the earth was precisely quelled by the city's sacrifices and populace using magical implements.

Just a glance, and Mu Yi's will began to stir.

He drew a deep breath, and Mu Yi's eyes blazed with substantive firelight.

Such evil demons, they must be slain!

The incense within the second incense-golden body was completely mobilized by Mu Yi and poured into the Mountain Water Seal.

He could not accept such a demonic lair both physically and psychologically.

He will destroy it in the most direct way!
