My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Shattered Isles, originally an unremarkable, desolate, and utterly decrepit large island, was greeted by light this day.

First came the cleansing radiance that shone upon the earth, followed by strands of warm sunlight piercing through the gloom.

It was like sunshine breaking through the night, as the entire world visibly brightened before our eyes; pure white light patterns centered around the initial pillar of light, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Hundreds of meters!

Thousands of meters!

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of meters!

The wind swept across the land, continually dissipating the Red Mist.

Tens of miles away, a thousand-meter-tall black mountain suddenly erupted, and from a distance, the entire peak seemed to twist and roar as if it were a sharp appendage shaking violently, trying to break free from the earth's embrace.

After a while, everything settled down.

The thousand-meter-high mountain was still bare, the ground ashen and black, and black pebbles scattered all around, just like before. However, upon looking again, the mountain had lost its eeriness, now mundane and ordinary, one among the countless hills and ridges surrounding it.

Even the sea outside the island, which had always appeared dead black and like thick, filthy water, was slowly recovering.

Mu Yuan surveyed his surroundings.

The War Zone Establishment, covered by the Heaven and Earth Rules, spanned approximately several hundred kilometers.

Not too small by any measure, it was already the size of several Shiling City regions.

But not too big either.

Even within a small domain like Shattered Isles, a few hundred kilometers was just an insignificant corner.

However...

"When we establish a War Zone here, Miracle Power will spread from this point as the fulcrum, affecting the entire Shattered Isles."

In short, before they established the War Zone, the corruption erosion of Dragon Sleep Valley across the entire Shattered Isles was at an alarming rate; even with their relentless assaults, they could only delay, but not stop it.

Now, the foul erosion had stopped.

Not merely stopped.

Outside the War Zone, in the many places yet untouched by the Miracle Light, the Red Mist had also begun to thin.

Mu Yuan looked up, his gaze penetrating the superficial "Red Mist," "gloom," and "skylight" to see the deeper principles of heaven and earth.

A concept like a stream, flowing gently, in a blood-red color, was severed here.

"With the erosion cut off, Dragon Sleep Valley's top forces will find it hard to spread over here."

"But..."

"In exchange, we are now closer to the enemy's Vanguard Army, and the war has only just begun."

...

Shattered Isles, the southern end.

The assault group had sounded the retreat, withdrawing wave by wave back to the defense lines in the Red Mountain City area.

Ba Long, Youshan, Feiyan...

One after another, the Frontier Lords looked distressed.

They had failed.

They had fought fiercely for over two hours, engaging in relentless combat, and fought bloodily.

Yet, not to mention establishing a position to counter the enemy, they couldn't even break through the defenses of Dragon Sleep Valley.

Far from it.

"We failed?"

Watching the medics running back and forth, tirelessly treating the wounded, Ba Long and the other powerful fighters were somewhat bewildered.

What should they do next? What could they do next? Continue preparing and wait for the next all-out attack?

But if this sudden assault achieved nothing, let alone the next one, Dragon Sleep Valley would surely be more prepared.

As he was feeling perplexed, Ba Long heard the news of a great victory from within the War Zone Establishment.

"A great victory? That can't be right."

"No, it's a major victory."

The neighboring Frontier Lord came over and said, "I thought we had failed too, but it turns out that our real mission, the attack group's true purpose, was to draw the enemy's attention and hold them firmly here."

"The real objective, the more critical mission, was actually entrusted to another group of powerful fighters."

"The enemy was fooled, as were we."

Ba Long furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and then realized.

"I was wondering what felt off before; it's because we haven't seen Tianyuan and a few other lords."

The War Zone Establishment was no small field; the assault team had also opened up several battlefields.

Not having seen Tianyuan for a while didn't strike Ba Long as odd. But thinking carefully, each general from the Tianyuan Family was memorable, each a dazzling presence on the battlefield, how could Ba Long miss seeing even one of them?

"You really have confidence in Tianyuan," the Frontier Lord said with a sigh, "But from what I've just learned, the other group's strategic victory is closely linked with General Wutai from Tianyuan City."

"That General Wutai, his true Combat Power far exceeds what he's shown before."

...

Shattered Isles War Zone·New Area.

Established on an unnamed island in the Shattered Isles.

At this time, several days had passed since the establishment of the new War Zone.

In just a few days, the defense lines of the new War Zone had been roughly constructed, and one Miracle Building after another rose from the ground. Building a large number of Miracle Buildings not only fulfilled the daily necessities of the warriors in the War Zone; as the number of Miracle Buildings increased, the power of the rules within the entire War Zone also became stronger and more stable.

This was something Mu Yuan had just realized.

The benefits of the Shattered Isles War Zone remained the same, but the 'resistance' was different.

As the Shattered Isles War Zone's Miracle Power and world power strengthened, the cleansing of the Isles by the War Zone was also slowly intensifying.

Now, like presently, the forces of Dragon Sleep Valley could no longer seal the world through some special means.

Here, now, was their home ground.

Over these days, the Shattered Isles War Zone had been relatively calm.

Dragon Sleep Valley, having lost the strategic upper hand, did not rush to take their revenge. This was because Sword Lord Liushi and many other members of the Pioneer Group had now moved onto this island.
