Chapter 593 The Battle Merit Shop Opens, A Frenzied Army of Blood! (5200)
"Holy crap! Holy crap! So these pillars of blood are the new expansion? Wasn't it supposed to be seven days? How come it's launched in less than three days?!"
"Didn't you hear what the system said? It was activated ahead of schedule for unknown reasons, and some unexpected things may have happened."
"Brothers, what's this enemy called? The Blood Legion. I remember someone saying before that the new information was about the Undead Scourge? Where are the undead?"
"Who knows! But it sounds like the Blood Legion is even more terrifying than the Undead!"
at the same time.
The second notification appeared.
[Attention all survivors! Due to the arrival of the Blood Legion, the Battle Merit Shop and Battle Merit System are now open.]
Defeating members of the Blood Legion will earn you battle merits (rank * military rank) based on the enemy's strength and rank.
Killing a Tier 5 ordinary Blood Legion member will grant you 1 tier * 1 point of battle merit;
Killing a Blood Legion squad leader will grant you 10 points of battle merit based on your rank.
Killing a centurion will grant you 100 battle merits based on your rank.
Killing a centurion will grant you 1000 rank points in battle merit;
Killing a centurion will grant you 10000 battle merits based on your rank.
Defeating a Commander of Ten Thousand (Legendary) will grant you Rank * 100 Battle Points.
Battle merits can be exchanged for generous rewards in the Battle Merit Shop, including but not limited to advanced, expert, and master-level Hearts of Power, as well as purple, gold, and orange sets, etc.
The enemy is extremely powerful. We must unite as soon as possible to form a large army; only then will we have a chance to stop them!
...
When the notification ended, the chat channel once again caused a huge stir!
"As expected, every time a new expansion is released, some new shops appear. This time, it's the Battle Merit Shop!"
"Holy crap! Brothers, open the Battle Merit Shop! The rewards are amazing! I even saw an Epic Set and Master-level Heart of Power available for exchange!"
"What?! A Master-level Heart of Power? Are you kidding me?! My level has already reached 50, doesn't that mean I can advance to Master level right away?"
"Haha! I've reached level 50 already, looks like I might finally become a master this time!"
"This is awesome! You can exchange for Expert-level Power Hearts in the Dragon Shop and Master-level Power Hearts in the Battle Merit Shop. Doesn't this mean that the era of everyone being a Master is about to arrive?"
“That makes sense. It seems you’ll have to call me Master Wang from now on.”
“Then I am Master Li.”
"Master Technician Liu is at your service."
"..."
The topic was quickly steered off course by these survivors.
At this moment, a survivor leader quickly reminded them: "Don't be too happy yet. To redeem these rewards, you need a lot of battle merits. And battle merits can only be obtained by killing these Blood Legion members."
"The system specifically warned us this time that the enemy is extremely powerful, with at least fifth-tier monsters. Only by joining forces can we have a chance to deal with them!"
"I suggest that everyone should take immediate action and lead all combat personnel to the strongholds of those powerful legions, otherwise it will be impossible to stop the Blood Legion's attack."
Upon hearing this, the top legion commanders from each region realized this.
They all sent messages in the chat channel:
"I am Wei Jianyi. Brothers from the vicinity of Yongshuang City, come to the Sword Pavilion Legion headquarters immediately. During the period when the Blood Legion appears, our Sword Pavilion will accept you unconditionally!"
"I am Cheng Lu, and the headquarters of our Samsara Legion is located at..."
These billions of survivors are all elites who survived through layers of selection.
They also knew that only by uniting could they survive such a large-scale disaster.
At this moment, the top guild leaders of the region stepped forward without hesitation and took on the corresponding responsibilities.
...
...
At the same time, the system will indicate the end.
In the territories of these six or seven kingdoms, the 36 blood pillars piercing the heavens and earth have fully taken shape.
Within the pillar of blood, countless figures clad in crimson armor gradually emerged.
Their faces were pale, their pupils sunken, and their dark pupils seemed to burn with endless madness and a bloodlust!
With each step, crimson blood seeps from the ground beneath our feet, polluting and altering the color of the earth!
They look like humanoid creatures, yet they are completely different from humans.
If you had to put it in perspective, the Blood Legion is similar to the White Walkers or vampires.
But he became even more insane and bloodthirsty!
The air was thick with the stench of blood, sending chills down one's spine!
As more and more figures clad in blood-red armor appeared.
The land within a radius of tens of kilometers had turned completely blood red!
However, these seemingly ferocious blood legions did not immediately rush out to destroy everything after they appeared; instead, they lined up in an orderly fashion.
At the very front of the group stood a tall commander clad in blood-red armor.
His pupils gleamed with a light that seemed capable of devouring everything!
"After a thousand years, our Blood Legion, the 20th Blood Unit, has been reborn!"
"So many years have passed, and our presence is no longer felt on this land, making the world forget its fear of bloodshed!"
"But soon, all living beings in this world will remember our names, our appearance, and our taste!"
At the same time, a sinister smile appeared on the pale faces of the Blood Legion members behind them.
Then, the commander of the Blood Legion waved his hand and shouted.
"Now, let's spread our blood and let this world be dyed our colors again, hahaha!"
The laughter seemed to shake the earth!
Then, the warriors of the Blood Legion surged in all directions like a tidal wave!
Wherever it passed, the pristine snowfields and forests were instantly covered in blood.
On the ground, a thick, blood-like liquid gushed out, bubbling and frothing...
Even after the Blood Legion left, the viscous liquid did not disappear, as if it had completely polluted the land!
If viewed from above, one can see a peculiar sight.
The Blood Legion's movements were like a giant red paintbrush, freely splashing across the pristine white canvas, polluting everything in its path.
However, the Blood Legion's march was not without pattern, nor did it slaughter everything.
When passing through human villages, a portion of the legion will sweep through and engulf the villages.
The other group will choose to avoid it, seemingly following some kind of instruction.
However, when they encounter human armies or mercenary groups, the Blood Legion reveals their true terror!
Without hesitation, a large number of blood-soaked soldiers rushed forward, their armor gleaming with blood, and their weapons seemingly capable of cutting through anything!
These legions or mercenary groups were instantly engulfed by endless blood!
Screams, roars, and the clash of weapons mingled together, but soon a wave of blood engulfed everything.
...
...
In the distant territory of the Kingdom of Kunard, a crimson teleportation pillar appeared near a giant city.
The Blood Legion emerged from the teleportation pillar and swarmed out, launching a fierce attack on the giant city!
The soldiers of the giant city held out for less than a few minutes before the city gates were breached.
A massive army of blood poured into the giant city, unleashing a frenzied massacre on the soldiers and civilians.
The blades in their hands gleamed with an eerie, bloody light, as if they carried some kind of corrosive power.
Each slash easily tore through the soldiers' armor, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on their bodies.
Even more terrifying is that these wounds cannot heal, blood gushed out like a fountain, and even began to fester rapidly!
"Ah!! What kind of power is this? It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"My body is melting! Help me!"
A series of screams rang out.
The Blood Legion, however, let out a sinister laugh.
"Our blades are coated with a corrosive blood poison that will quickly spread throughout your body, melting you until you are completely reduced to a pool of blood!"
"This process won't be long, but it will be the most painful time of your lives!"
"Hahaha!"
The soldiers' shouts mingled with the blood-soaked legion's savage laughter.
They fought back with all their might, but ordinary weapons struck the Blood Legion's armor as if they were striking a viscous liquid, encountering immense resistance.
Of course, many members of the Blood Legion also died after being targeted by concentrated fire.
But after they died, their bodies, along with the armor they wore, turned into a pool of blood and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace.
When the city lord of this great city was killed, the other soldiers were also slaughtered, with less than one in ten surviving.
This also signifies that the giant city has completely fallen.
The vast army of blood, like locusts, swept through the city in no time and completely devoured it.
The civilians inside were not spared either; they were swallowed up in fear and became part of the sea of blood.
So many people died that the blood in the entire city seemed to solidify into a tangible substance.
A surge of blood energy erupted from the city, soaring straight into the sky.
"Buzz!"
Another new blood teleportation pillar has appeared!
The survivors saw that the number of remaining teleportation arrays on the system interface jumped from 36 to 37...
This is the destructive power and harm of the Blood Legion.
They will slaughter countless lives, summon even more blood legions, and pollute even more land! Without restraint, they could even destroy an entire kingdom in a short time!
The powerful figures and armies of the various kingdoms also reacted quickly.
As the war horns sounded!
The entire region has entered a state of war, with a large number of troops being urgently mobilized, and armed forces and mercenaries from various places also gathering.
Prepare to confront this crazed army!
...
...
Our attention returns to the main battlefield of the Kingdom of Velen.
There are still two demigods and nine legends standing in confrontation!
Survivors around the world would never have imagined that the Bloodbath expansion would be launched ahead of schedule because of the battle between these powerful individuals!
At this moment, Cao Xing also noticed this series of system notifications.
But he had no time to pay attention to any of that; instead, he was staring intently at the open door in the sky!
The remaining legends and demigods on the field all focused their attention on that portal.
Because they sensed a vast power within it, as if some extremely powerful being was about to descend!
Unlike the blood portals in other regions, this portal did not produce a massive number of blood legion creatures.
Instead, a huge, blood-stained battle blade emerged from it.
This battle blade alone is a hundred meters long, and strange blood patterns flow along its surface.
"Chichi...chichi..."
Drops of blood fell to the ground through the blade, each drop containing a powerful corrosive force, producing a corrosive sound like concentrated sulfuric acid.
Then, a giant hand covered in veins and bulging muscles emerged from the blood gate and suddenly grasped the giant battle blade!
Then came his head, his body, and his limbs!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying creature over a hundred meters tall appeared.
This monster was only wearing a simple vest, revealing the explosive muscles in its arms, and exuding a strong aura of blood!
A sinister smile appeared on his pale face.
"I never expected that among the commanders of the Blood Legion, I, Fang Ya, would be the first to arrive in this world."
"Looks like I can ask the commander for permission to let me devour the first legendary item later, hahaha!"
Without a doubt, this is a legend from the Blood Legion!
Moreover, with the emergence of this first legendary Blood Legion...
More terrifying figures emerged from the portal one after another.
Each appearance of a figure brought forth a wave of blood, and the powerful sense of oppression and the smell of blood were as tangible as if they were real!
In the blink of an eye, nine people appeared in mid-air.
They varied in size, some wielding bizarre weapons, others surrounded by eerie red light!
Each figure exuded a chilling aura, as if they would turn this world into a sea of blood!
"So many legends?"
Cao Xing's eyes were filled with solemnity.
The old king and Queen Youlan also took up their weapons and prepared for battle.
Cao Xing quickly glanced at the information of these powerful individuals.
Most of them consisted of a series of question marks.
But only the first large one that appeared displayed a detailed panel.
[Commander: Fang Fang - Dirty]
[Level: 120 (Legendary Creature)]
[Potential: Dominator Level]
[Affiliation: Blood Legion]
[Divine Power: ???]
[Health: 2.36 million/2.36 million]
[Attack power: 1105218~1149215]

[Legendary Skill: Blood Sea Frenzy - Annihilation (Consumes 10 points of divine power, summons a boundless sea of blood, covering an area of 10 kilometers around it.)]
In the sea of blood, Fangya's normal attack range increases by 300%, and it will always be a critical hit!
The more enemies killed by normal attacks, the larger and longer the Blood Sea will be, as well as the increased attack power of Fangya.
Blood Sea Duration: 10 seconds, Cooldown: 24 hours
[Talent: Blood Curse (All attacks are imbued with seven curse effects, including Blood Curse and Blood Corrosion...)]
[Legendary Talent: Blood Rebirth (Exclusive talent for the Legendary Blood Legion. After death, the user will quickly revive once by forming a physical body, restoring 20% of their health. This effect can only be active once.)]
...
After reviewing this guy's attributes, a serious look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
"These legendary Blood Legions have truly monstrous attributes!"
Besides a dozen or so blood-based skills, this guy also has a powerful legendary combat skill!
However, the most terrifying thing about him is his legendary talent, [Blood Rebirth].
It's really crazy that it can be resurrected once!
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield has changed once again.
Originally, the Watchers only had one demigod and three legends left, and in terms of the number of strong individuals, Cao Xing's side had more.
But now, with the addition of these legendary blood legions, he has directly become a demigod, and 12 legends.
They completely overwhelmed our side in terms of the number of strong individuals.
King Gray Mist and War King Kunard have adjusted their positions and are ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time!
Cao Xing also privately instructed all territory members to enter a ghostly state, ready to flee at any time.
However, these Blood Legion legends did not make a move immediately after they emerged; instead, they were still waiting for something.
During this time, another Watcher perished as the duration of [Burning Blood] ended.
The body fell like a kite with a broken string into the ruins below.
"Boom!!!"
A cloud of blood-red dust rose up.
A look of sorrow appeared in the eyes of the Watcher leader.
But he quickly concealed the emotions in his eyes and continued to stare at the blood-red portal in front of him.
At the same time, an unprecedented tremor occurred within the blood portal.
"Boom..."
It was as if the sky itself was trembling.
Then, everyone saw the portal begin to expand and deform as if it were being squeezed by some kind of force!
The once stable portal began to distort at its edges, as if even space itself could not withstand the impending power!
Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying and enormous figure slowly stepped out of the portal!
His body was as majestic as a mountain, covered in thick, blood-stained armor, the blood of which seemed to flow like that of living beings, radiating a chilling aura.
The nine legendary commanders of the Blood Legion simultaneously knelt on one knee and proclaimed, "Welcome to the Blood Lord!"
The sound resounded like thunder, echoing through heaven and earth, filled with boundless awe and fervor.
A vast aura erupted, and this newly emerged Blood Legion powerhouse was in no way inferior to the Watcher leader and the Lizardman chieftain on the field!
In other words, this is yet another demigod-level powerhouse!
This is the strength of the Blood Legion. As soon as they arrived, a demigod and nine legendary figures appeared.
In addition, with the large number of Blood Legion troops appearing in the Blood Teleportation Pillars in other areas, this force could even destroy several kingdoms in a short period of time.
Furthermore, they will continue to fight and increase in number, summoning even more blood-soaked troops.
This kind of enemy is a disaster for the entire continent.
At that moment, the demigod-level leader of the bloodline turned his head to the side as soon as he appeared.
His deep pupils were fixed on the leader of the Watchers, and a smile curved his lips.
"Luo, what happened to you? You look so disheveled?"
"If I don't come out, are you going to be doomed here this time?"
The Watcher leader remained expressionless and coldly snorted, "Enough with the nonsense."
"In order for you to descend into this world, I sacrificed three elders and eight key members, paying a huge price!"
Upon hearing this, the demigod-level expert gradually suppressed his smile.
His dark pupils scanned the surroundings before gradually settling on the crowd in the arena.
The events described below quickly revealed the cause and effect of the situation.
"Interesting. You actually managed to gather so many legendary experts to stop the arrival of our blood, and you almost succeeded."
"Among them were even a few acquaintances."
His gaze fell on the old woman from the Orchid Kingdom and the dwarf from the Gray Mist Kingdom, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Long time no see, you two little ones. A thousand years ago, I let you escape a calamity by sheer luck. This time, I will make you feel the fear of blood once again..."
