Chapter 1980: Chapter 661: Powerful Demigod Skill, Human Emperor Candidate

Several years later, the remains of the God of Filth were retrieved by some mysterious entity and, through certain experiments, were divided into numerous parts.

Among them, its heart was distributed in ancient heritage items, later obtained by Luo.]

[Item Effect 1: The heart contains powerful Power of Filth, which can produce Tainted Blood through the sacrifice of a large number of life forms]

[Item Effect 2: Throw the heart into a divine body, causing its life value and life limit to decrease by 1% per second, up to a maximum reduction of 90%]

If used on a divine being from the Blood Plane, its life value and life limit decrease by 30% per second until death]

(Note: This heart contains the lingering will of the God of Filth. If it corrupts a divine being from the Blood Plane and devours their Blood Divine Power, some unexpected effect may occur. Please use with caution.)

(Note 2: This heart contains intense Divine Power of Filth, and close contact will permanently reduce life limit by 1% at intervals.)

(Countdown: 2 seconds...)

...

...

Cao Xing, seeing the final countdown, almost instinctively stored it away in his backpack.

He then quickly shook his hand with a look of disdain on his face and said, "Whoa, this thing really is evil. Just holding it reduces my life limit."

"Luckily, I stored it quickly."

A trace of lingering fear appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

After all, permanently reducing 1% of life limit is no laughing matter.

Of course, even though the heart is evil, it is also extremely powerful.

If used properly, it could gravely wound a divine being.

Moreover, if used against a divine being from the Blood Plane, it could even result in their direct death.

"What a pity it can only be used once."

"Otherwise... I would have a trump card against divines!"

Nonetheless, the importance of this heart is undeniable.

If used well in the future, it could potentially be used to slay a god!

Cao Xing nodded again with satisfaction.

At this point, he had reviewed all his gains.

The harvest could be said to be extremely abundant.

Besides a large amount of war merit and Divine Power Fragments,

there was also a piece of Legendary Equipment, a Legendary Level Construction, and an SS-class Talent Crystal.

And, that evil heart capable of threatening a divine!

Then there was also a [Random Epic Skill Book (Survivor Exclusive)], which Cao Xing decided to open later.

"Next, let’s use all these Hearts of Power to enhance the territory’s strength."

So, Cao Xing called out, "All members, gather in the buffer zone!"

Upon receiving the order, the entire territory sprang into action.

"Rumble..."

Altogether nearly over eight thousand people from the territory moved in a dense crowd, gathering in the buffer zone.

The scene, though large, was orderly.

After all, these members had passed Cao Xing’s trials.

Even the new Subjects maintained high standards.

Cao Xing swept his gaze over the crowd, quickly calculating in his mind.

"Currently, my territory has a total population of 8,327 people."

"The number of combat personnel is a little over three thousand, while other workers number over five thousand."

"This ratio is fairly healthy."

Among the three thousand combat personnel, over two thousand were veteran soldiers who had long been by his side.

Their levels generally ranged from Level 50 to Level 70.

As for the more than a thousand new recruits, they were third and fourth-tier soldiers, with some being second-order militia.

Compared to the veterans, they appeared more uneven.

"But that’s alright, under my [Eternal Power], even second-order militia can exert combat power surpassing those mutant dominators of the Tenth Rank."

However... Cao Xing had no immediate plans to bestow blessings upon the newcomers.

Considering they had been in the territory for only three or four days.

Suddenly receiving such powerful strength, Cao Xing feared they might become arrogant, losing the drive to improve.

They’d no longer strive for progress, instead waiting for the Lord to grant them blessings.

"So, I’ll first enhance the strength of the veterans."

"Let the new recruits hone their skills a bit more."

Cao Xing gave a large wave, first taking out the remaining six hundred or so [Master-level Power Hearts].

Currently, very few among these veterans had not yet broken through to the master level.

Totaling just over five hundred.

With over six hundred Master-level Power Hearts available, although failures may occur,

with Cao Xing’s Luck Value, it should suffice to ensure their successful breakthroughs.

He then swiftly ordered, "Now, all combat personnel reaching the Fifth-Order Limit, come collect a Heart of Power."

Upon hearing this, the veterans across the territory lifted their heads, eyes filled with eagerness!

They marched forward in unison, each receiving a Heart of Power.

Then, under the envious gaze of other members, they crushed the crystals, absorbing the contained strength.

"Crack! Crack!"

As shattering sounds echoed, all five hundred entered a breakthrough status.

"Buzz! Buzz Buzz!"

The commotion as more than five hundred Fifth Order strong individuals simultaneously broke through to the Sixth Tier was rather astonishing.

The entire territory’s ground trembled slightly.

Everyone watched in amazement at this scene.

After about two minutes, the veterans’ breakthroughs neared completion.

[Your territory member: Eliot Isaac has successfully broken through to a Sixth-Order Creature, Basic Attributes increased by 100%, Life Value +100%, Prosperity +15]

[Your territory member: Doris Neil has successfully broken through to a Sixth-Order Creature, Basic Attributes increased by 100%, Life Value +100%, Prosperity +15]

[Your...]

...

After a series of breakthrough notifications,

hundreds more masters were added to Cao Xing’s territory!

Alongside the strength increase, the prosperity level also surged significantly!

The newcomers stared wide-eyed, nearly dumbfounded!

After all, when has there ever been a territory where hundreds of Master-level strong people break through at once?

This was truly exaggerated!

"Incredible... This must be a territory blessed by the divines!"

"Indeed! I’ve never seen so many masters in my life; this far surpasses the power of a kingdom’s army..."

"Truly a terrifying territory..."

The newcomers were full of admiration, while the veteran members found it ordinary.
