The Frenzied Area, at the entrance to the passage toward the opposite Twilight Dominion.

Mu Yuan stood here observing for a full hour but saw no signs of the energy tides recurring.

Duo Lai's concept had really succeeded.

Of course, the scope of Duo Lai's "Devouring Heaven and Earth" influence was just a small corner compared to the vast Frenzied Area. Even leaving aside the other areas of the Rampage Lockdown Zone and calculating just the direct passage through the Frenzied Area to this place, there was still at least 9/10ths of the journey outside that remained fraught with energy tides.

"However, the further out you go, the less violent the energy tides become. The truly desperate area for Fourth-order Leader Level beings to cross is just this small area on both sides of the passage," he mused.

"Once Duo Lai devours the core area of the dangerous lands in the Twilight Dominion opposite us, the difficulty of this route will significantly drop," he noted.

One or two more devourings at most, and in the future, caravans wouldn't need Duo Lai's escort to travel freely.

This could greatly strengthen the connectivity between Tianyuan City and the outside world.

"It's enough to clear the surrounding region of the southern passage in the Ten Directions Island Domain. There's no immediate need to deal with the passage by the Whirlpool Sea to the east," Mu Yuan decided.

"Using Devouring Heaven and Earth to calm the Frenziness here wasn't easy for Duo Lai, either," he added.

After all, this meant fundamentally changing the nature of a region.

This was quite astounding.

Dead Bone couldn't achieve this.

Even a Legendary Third Realm being of the Law Realm likely couldn't do it either.

Indeed, a Law Realm being could wield Conceptual Power, and such beings were stronger than a still very young Duo Lai, but Law Realm powerhouses at best wield one or several Conceptual Powers.

Concepts have specificity.

To slash means only to slash; to burn means only to burn.

Using the force of Conceptual Power to strike this area would only make it more frenzied, chaotic, and fragmented.

And Duo Lai? Under Devouring Heaven and Earth, any kind of concept could be swallowed and turned into nourishment.

It really wasn't picky at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After resting for two hours, Duo Lai went to the other side of the Realm Passageway and used "Devouring Heaven and Earth" once more, in the same manner.

Immediately, the heavens and earth were cleansed, and the tides dissipated.

"Mission accompli—burp~"

Duo Lai patted its not visibly distended belly, but it was indeed stuffed.

'Prompt: Your hero 'Duo Lai' has digested a few strands of concepts using Devouring Heaven and Earth.'

'Prompt: Your hero 'Duo Lai' has comprehended a trace of the law of Frenzy and can wield the power of the Frenzy concept.'

'Prompt: ...'

With the mission accomplished, Lord Shepherd prepared to return home when he received a message from Sophia.

"There's a situation at Iron Stone Mountain in the Shen Luo Domain. A Lord is preparing to forcefully recruit the Legendary Hero Xie Yi, and Gunner Master and others staying at Iron Stone Mountain to learn have been affected," she informed.

"I'm about to head to Iron Stone Mountain. Any instructions, Boss?" she asked.

He had all but forgotten about the existence of Wild Heroes at Iron Stone Mountain. It wasn't that he was indifferent, but rather... a Wild, Epic, Hero only held a medium level of attraction for him and wasn't worth too much pursuit.

Had it not been for this hero's expertise in firearms, being a strong Gunner Master, Mu Yuan estimated that there wouldn't have been any interactions between them.

He could afford to not compete for this hero.

However, other Lords bothering his apprentices was something he could not tolerate.

"Now that Tianyuan City has ten legendary realm powerhouses, we have ample high-end forces and can dispatch one to preside over Iron Stone Mountain," he decided.

"Of course, stationing a Legendary Realm powerhouse at Iron Stone Mountain just to guard a few apprentices like Gunner Master would be an overkill, but Tianyuan City does need to establish its own office in the Shen Luo Domain. Having a Legendary Realm powerhouse preside over such a stronghold would display our power just right," he concluded.

After pondering, he took Duo Lai and flew towards the Whirlpool Sea.

When Mu Yuan arrived, Sophia and Rakshasa were already there.

Rakshasa was summoned by him.

He inquired Sophia, "What's the situation now?"

Sophia replied, "Hero Xie Yi has been rejecting the recruitment offers from the Lords all along. The Lords come in waves, and during this time, a more assertive Lord has arrived at Iron Stone Mountain."

"Currently, there are still several Division Generals from Great Lords on Iron Stone Mountain, and that assertive Lord hasn't dared to start a major conflict yet, but the situation is getting quite tense."

The four of them easily passed through the Realm Passageway, arriving in the Shen Luo Domain.

The journey from there to Iron Stone Mountain was still quite far, and the flying speeds of the four were not consistent—Mr. Mu and Rakshasa flew slower, lacking natural wings.

"Watch this."

Duo Lai declared.

It pointed a hand toward the sky and the Elements of Heaven and Earth roared in response. The Wind Element heeded the call, lining up on either side of them. Experience new stories on empire

A gust of blue wind arose, forming a gigantic orb of wind.

The endless winds from all corners of the heavens and earth blew.

The orb of wind flew forward, following the rhythm of the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye at the far end of the heavens and earth.

This command over the energies of heaven and earth impressed Sophia and Rakshasa, themselves being of Legendary Realm.

At that moment they could not control any of the Elements of Heaven and Earth, as if they had entered a 'Domain of Magic Prohibition,' with every direction under the control of Duo Lai.

'This is what a Legendary Life is like.'

With Duo Lai leading the flight, their speed was not much slower than the Peak Heaven and Earth Realm's Wings of the Wind King.

In just a few hours, they arrived at the domain of Iron Stone Mountain.

"The elements here are quite active."

Duo Lai sensed the changes from afar.

As they approached, Mu Yuan saw that Iron Stone Mountain had become much less lively; many Lords and professionals who had previously come to ask Master Xie Yi to craft firearms had relocated to the base of the mountain.
