"Although the ghost's attack is powerful, it is a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while also injuring the enemy a hundred or eighty, and it is also a great drain on Oros's own soul power!" Ye Chen thought to himself as he watched Oros's attack.
The seemingly powerful attack actually caused fluctuations in Oros's own soul power, which would take some time to calm down.
At this moment, Ye Xi and the others made their move. Facing a dark creature stronger than themselves, they showed no fear, as their strength was enough to pose a threat to it.
Ye Xi's fine iron longsword flashed, the ordinary standard longsword leaving a silver streak as it heavily struck the giant beast's body. The short wound penetrated three-tenths of an inch into the flesh, and blood splattered out.
As she advanced to become the Daughter of the Moon, her previous Moonlight Power also advanced to the Power of the Moon. Although they looked similar, their power was vastly different.
Besides Ye Xi, the attacks from Mount Tai and the Xuan Birds were also formidable. The Xuan Birds, in particular, after advancing to the 5th rank, could even contend head-on with 6th rank units when combined, and the flames they spewed out could not be extinguished even by 6th rank dark creatures.
Most importantly, the Black Bird also possesses the talent to deliver the souls of the dead, allowing them to rest in peace.
This was a catastrophic blow to the behemoth whose soul had been severely damaged by Oros; it was almost shattered by the attack of the Black Bird.
As for the three-legged golden crow, it did not rush to make a move, but quietly stayed in the back, emitting light and heat to dispel the darkness for everyone and prevent them from being swallowed by it.
Especially Oros, as a soul being, was directly exposed to the darkness and was more severely affected than others. The appearance of the three-legged golden crow effectively compensated for this deficiency, although even ghosts fear light...
With Oros's final strike, the Dragon Tail Sweep, the powerful Tier 6 creature was instantly annihilated, its soul dissipating and it completely losing its life force.
The enormous beast body landed on the territory, occupying a large area. Ye Chen placed it next to the four-leaf clover, letting it purify the dark energy within and transform it into nutrients for the territory.
After the newbie trial ends, there are no more Dark Treasure Chests to open and obtain Territory Foundation Stones. Expanding your territory is now limited to two methods: plundering and self-cultivation.
Plunder is the use of territorial cores, unclaimed lands, etc., to expand one's own territory.
Self-cultivation is like Ye Chen, using special methods such as four-leaf clovers to purify the corpses of dark creatures and transform them into nutrients for the territory.
Compared to the former, this approach makes the soil on the territory more compact and fertile, making it easier to upgrade the land.
However, this method is more time-consuming, and special items like four-leaf clovers are not easy to find, making it very difficult for ordinary lords to expand their territory through this method.
"Starting with a Tier 6 dark creature, this welcome ceremony is truly overwhelming!" Looking at the huge beast corpse in his territory, Ye Chen curled his lips, wasted no time, and directly controlled the territory to continue flying deeper into the territory.
For safety reasons, his shuttle point was about half a day's flight away from the designated location. During this half day, Ye Chen was attacked by several waves of dark creatures, mostly fourth-tier creature groups.
Fortunately, the numbers are not excessive, usually only tens of thousands each time. Although powerful, they are not overwhelming, just a bit tiring. Even the occasional high-level creatures are not a concern.
After most of the day had passed, Ye Chen finally arrived near the coordinates given by the fat man. A wasteland planet was floating in the darkness. Upon closer inspection, there were still some electric lights flashing on the completely fallen planet, as if it were fighting against the surrounding darkness.
However, the electric light was already extremely weak and could go out at any moment.
"Prepare for battle!" Ye Chen shouted to the crowd. The territory slowly approached the wasteland planet, where the dark creatures that had been roaming the planet could no longer contain themselves and began to rush towards them.
Previously, I had only traveled through the stars, so although I encountered many dark creatures, they were mostly from their respective groups and were generally dark creatures of level 4 or above who could roam the stars.
However, the dark creatures that leaped out of the wasteland planet here vary greatly in strength and are not very strong. They cannot even be exposed to the starry sky for long periods of time.
Lured by the life force, it leaped madly from the wasteland planet, wanting to devour Ye Chen and the others.
Despite their seemingly imposing charge, they posed little threat to Ye Chen and his group; they were merely a bit tiring to kill.
Ye Chen even simply activated the defensive towers on his territory and then relied on the territory's shield to slowly kill them, in order to conserve the strength of his clansmen.
"Now that's what tower defense looks like!" Ye Chen glanced at the energy consumption in the energy furnace, which was still within an acceptable range, and then stopped caring.
Once the defensive towers have wiped out these dark creatures, Ye Xi and the others should keep an eye on the energy in the energy furnace, remembering to add energy crystals. Also, keep an eye on any powerful dark creatures to prevent them from being ambushed.
Of course, the so-called low energy consumption is only relative. If you simply use 1st or 2nd tier energy crystals, the consumption rate is still quite terrifying.
However, Ye Chen was able to exchange a small amount of Tier 4 energy crystals from the inheritance stone tablet. As long as there were no powerful high-level creatures attacking, it would be enough to hold off these low-level dark creatures for a long time in this war of attrition.
However, Ye Chen did not continue to approach. Who knew what might be hidden on a wasteland planet? If he attracted a group of high-level dark creatures, he wouldn't be able to outrun them. It was better to lure them in slowly and kill them gradually.
The defensive towers in his territory have all been upgraded. Some of the magic towers, under the control of mages, can even use area-of-effect spells. They are not much of a threat to fifth or sixth-tier dark creatures, but they can kill large groups of them at once.
More than three hours later, the number of dark creatures rushing towards the territory had decreased significantly, with only a few scattered individuals remaining, and no longer the entire herds charging forward.
Ye Chen also gained nearly a million merit points in one go, which shows how many low-level dark creatures there are on the wasteland planet.
After luring them a few more times and confirming that no more hordes of dark creatures were rushing up, Ye Chen finally stopped his troops at the Baixiantai Terrace.
As always, Mount Tai leads the team, the Golden Crow travels, and the Sun-Wandering God is on standby at all times...
A large and imposing force descended upon this wasteland planet, their target the location flickering with faint electricity, the only place on the entire planet where life could be felt.
