My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

In the Tianyuan Territory, the sun was shining brightly and there was not a single cloud in sight within the ten thousand mile radius.

Lord Shepherd walked around his territory with his hands clasped behind his back, inspecting every newly constructed building. After nodding his head in approval, he patted Lu Liu and Seventeen on the shoulder before turning around to leave. He returned to his small residence within the City Lord’s Mansion, quickly changed his clothes, and lay down on his bed.

Then, while lying down, he extended the Hand of Evolution and pointed it towards a specific location within the Tianyuan Territory, showering it with the light of evolution.

Over this period of low-profile development, Mr. Mu naturally accumulated high amounts of evo-power.

Besides that, his largest troop of undead had grown to 1300 units. The somewhat smaller natural element troops had increased to 300 units due to constant purchases, including ten additional treemen recruited in the last month.

In his main force, there were also 30 Royal Guards and God Archers each, as well as 30 Flower Fairies in his reserve force.

All of these were rare three-star troops.

In terms of high-rank troops with unlimited potential, there was an explosive growth of Excellent Tier troops for Mu Yuan.

‘Bone Two’, ‘Bone Three’, and ‘Bone Four’, these three old but distinguished ministers, all evolved into Excellent Three-star ‘Skeleton Generals’.

At this stage, even the previously dull and silly Bone Two and Bone Three were gradually showing signs of genius.

The strength of high-order troops was reflected not just in their abilities and skills, but in many more aspects.

Besides, the Tianyuan Territory now had five Skeleton Morticians, five Evil Spirits, five Ancient Treemen, as well as the ‘Holy Light Priest’ Lainey, the ‘Valiant War Horse’ Niu Si, and the ‘Flower Spirit’ Hua Ling, making up a total of 18 excellent tier troops.

In the Tianyuan Territory, these were still not worthy of being considered as generals.

Old Lord ‘Jun’, had also finally evolved into excellent tier, transforming into an ‘Azure Bird’.

Lu Liu and Seventeen had also advanced further, climbing up to excellent three-star stage, and received advanced talents that significantly enhance their potential and combat power – Starlight Body and Fearless Body.

“Now, excluding Dead Bone and Duo Lai, my Tianyuan Territory has…”

“Eight unbeatable fierce warriors at the Excellent Three-star stage!”

“And 19 young warriors at the Excellent One-star stage, with a promising future!”

There were a few other miscellaneous troops that could be easily evolved to an excellent tier, such as the two rare-rank troops ‘Spring Spirit’ and ‘Earth Spirit’ that he had exchanged as rewards from the trial.

The former was mainly used for irrigation, as it was exceptional in canal water diversion.

The latter, on the other hand, was highly skilled in earthwork.

Under these circumstances, Mr. Mu naturally showed no interest in the prestigious Excellent-tier Remnant Sou.

In his eyes, they were just ordinary young troops.

In due course of time, he would be able to achieve the splendid sight of ‘Excellent troops being everywhere and rare troops not worth mentioning’.

As for Dead Bone…

It was time for it to step up a level too.

Mu Yuan opened Dead Bone’s panel.

‘Dead Bone’

‘Status: Hero’

‘Tier: Skeleton General’

‘Level: Two-order Level 35.6%’

‘Duo Lai’

‘Level: Two-order Level 2 97.5%’

The level upgrading speed, after reaching Elite-level, became slower and slower. It even stagnated, sometimes between small levels.

Of course, this wasn’t a problem for Dead Bone and Duo Lai, but their soul sand energy had to be accumulated slowly on a daily basis.

The level upgrading speed never caught up to the promotion speed of tiers.

However, to evolve from an ‘Excellent Three-star’ to an ‘Epic One-star’, it required more evolution points than expected – a full 5000 units.

This seemed to suggest something extraordinary about the Epic Tier?

“Indeed, the remnants of the excellent tier could be obtained from external sources like backing, rich patrons, contacts, prices, and so on. But I’ve hardly ever heard of deals involving epic-tier troops.

“On the forum, information about epic-tier troops is extremely scarce, most of them only have their rank names.”

Probably, these have already become strategic weapons and are not easily exposed.

Since a large number of evolution points were required, Mu Yuan waited for another two days and cancelled the replenishment plan for the Skeleton War Generals, just to gather the 5000 units of evolution points.

He walked to the Skeleton Cemetery.

The wind was particularly noisy that night.

The Skeleton General stood atop a burial mound, surrounded by a black fog. Like breathing, the fog gathered towards it, then spread apart, gathered again, then slowly spread away, and so it spiraled.

The current Skeleton General was not only no less formidable, but even stronger than epic troops of the same level.

Mu Yuan believed that.

However, evolution could take the invincibility of Dead Bone to the next level.

Around the same time, in another location in the Eternal World, under the cover of the dark night,

Wang Longteng gazed at an ancient palace in the distance where the lights were dim, “According to the clues, there is an epic-tier unbeatable brute waiting to be recruited inside this palace. My opportunity… it’s finally here!”

He clenched his fists, with anticipation, excitement, and anxiety all surging forth like the tide.

He thought of that unreachable figure.

He once laughed at himself for not even being able to catch sight of his rival’s back. But he was also a genius, who had his own pride and stubbornness. How could he willingly settle for being just a bystander?

“Once I’ve acquired the unbeatable brute, I’ll have the qualifications to catch up, at least…I’U be able to see his back again.”

“On my orders, the entire army…”

“Advance!”

Behind Wang Longteng, a black-armored imperial guard tore through the night and charged towards the ancient palace in the distance.

“Ding!”

“Alert: Your hero ‘Dead Bone’ is bathed in the light of evolution, undergoing a metamorphosis…”

Vibrant white light enveloped the entire form of Dead Bone, forming a radiant pillar that dispersed the drifting black fog within the cemetery, piercing the sky.

This time, the duration of evolution was longer.

10 seconds, 20 seconds, too seconds…

The light of evolution hadn’t subsided but had grown brighter. Strands of purple ascended from within the pure white light, faintly illuminating the sky with its purple radiance.

Like a rise of purple air from the east.

Ready to leave their mark in history.

Hmmmm

The central territory, ‘Domain Interferer’, had begun operating on its own. Invisible circles of canopy with the exceptional building as the center spread out, obscuring the faint phenomena.

“Who would have thought that the promotion to Epic would cause such anomalies in heaven and earth?

“Right, I’ve heard on the forum before that the birth of top-tier troops or treasures would accompany dazzling light and constant anomalies. It doesn’t seem like the forum bros were bluffing.”

Forum bros have not deceived me.

No, maybe these seemingly ordinary netizens, who appear to be only good at boasting, are hiding some incredible secrets.

“Alert: Your hero ‘Dead Bone’ has evolved into ‘Skeleton Lord (Epic One-star)’ and awakened…”

The dazzling light gradually began to fade away.

From a distance, Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone N, and others are watching with eager anticipation. Everyone kept their distance, staying at least a thousand meters back to avoid disturbing. While occasionally, a new Skeleton General would like to utter an excited “crackling” sound, it would be immediately pushed into the grave mound by a senior skeleton, forcing it to be quiet.

Mountain!

A black mountain suddenly appeared behind Dead Bone, laden with countless skeletons. At the top of the mountain, a throne was erected.

Above the throne, sat the king of skeletons, ruling over everything.

“Skill: Deathremains Territory”

“Description: The Skeleton Lord needs his own territory, but the territory is not necessarily an inconvenient thing. Thus, the Skeleton Lord opens up a territory that exists between reality and space. The territory is initially small but can be expanded continuously with the level up and development of the Skeleton Lord. The specific function is to be explored.”

“Alert: Your hero ‘Dead Bone’ had a slight epiphany during the evolution process, upgrading ‘Dry Bone Realm’ to ‘Realm of the Dead.’ ”

“Alert: Your hero ‘Dead Bone’ has developed Deathremains Territory, transforming it into ‘Wraith Sacred Mountain.\'”

And that was the first thing Mu Yuan and his skeletal followers saw: an endless mountain range covered with countless skeletons, and a throne erected at the top.

However,

This was merely an illusion, an overloaded version. The actual ‘Wraith Sacred Mountain’ was just a small mound with several dozen bones sticking out of it.

Only that.

But Dead Bone was very pleased.

Because it immediately figured out the use of this territorial space; it could save troops, cultivate undead creatures, and could be operated independently.

If he developed the territory larger, he could obtain more enhancements in battle.

Most importantly, the Wraith Sacred Mountain could store a large amount of energy.

Since dealing with the Orochi, it had been anxiety-ridden due to consuming most of its reserved hidden energy.

It was still too weak, the energy was too meager, far short for need.

Now with the storage territory, its reserve of hidden energy could undoubtedly be increased by several levels.

Lords, you know the bone too well!

Tears in eyes!

Mu Yuan felt that the skill of Deathremains Territory exceeded the category of skills, carrying some characteristics he didn’t comprehend.

He would have to take the time to slowly figure it out later.

“This evolution is far from as simple as gaining an additional skill!

“Because the Epic Tier differs from the previous tiers, there’s a world of difference.”

“Epic troops possess long life spans and transcendent aptitudes. Regardless of the type of troop, as long as they reach the Epic Level, they can undergo a transformation. Also, Epic creatures can keep getting stronger with the passage of time, even without practicing with soul sand, and their energy and level will keep rising until they reach the summit of the Fourth-order Leader Level. The lower the level, the faster the growth.”

For an Epic creature in its infancy, it could likely surpass the most fragile apprentice stage with just a few days of natural growth.

However, if they practice with Soul Sand, the upgrade speed of Epic creatures is even more unimaginable.

This is what makes it Epic!

Epic enough to become a legend in history!

Many top-level Lords have risen because they acquired Epic warriors, thus achieving a dramatic overtaking.

“Epic troops… can simply get stronger by breathing?!”

Seeing Dead Bone breathing deeply, Mu Yuan silently left.

The next day,

Mu Yuan snuck off to the ‘Festival Grounds’ for a moment and had a peek. As expected, after multiple batches of evolution, the condensed lines he had gathered had significantly improved.

For instance, the previous ‘Undead Noble Guest’ had been promoted to ‘Undead Reverer’.

After all, he was the man who possessed the Skeleton Lord and several Skeleton Generals!
