Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 750 The Powerful Starfall Codex: The Prelude to the Great War.

The ruins area at this moment.

Cao Xing and his men had just emerged from the entrance of the ruins.

Their gaze fell upon a plain hundreds of kilometers away, where a powerful aura rose into the sky, seemingly waiting for their arrival.

Cao Xing said, "Let's go, let's go over there."

Everyone nodded with relaxed expressions, showing no signs of tension about facing a demigod.

Kai Lan, still bound in a pretzel shape, has remained silent ever since his father and Cao Xing made the bet.

He knew he had made a huge mistake this time...

If things go wrong this time, it won't just be him alone, but the entire Northwind Kingdom could be ruined.

Thinking of this, endless regret welled up in Kai Lan's heart.

I regret that I brought up that bet in the first place.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Cao Xing was also filled with a complex expression.

Beside her, the Rose Goddess Talia bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, Lord Cao Xing."

"This whole thing started because of me... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been dragged into the conflict between me and the Kingdom of Northwind."

"In this battle, I hope to fight alongside you and contribute my strength."

"Even if I die on the spot, I will have no regrets!"

After speaking, Talia bowed deeply, her red hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Seeing her so serious, everyone stopped and looked at Talia in surprise.

Cao Xing didn't say anything, but walked up to her and reached out to help her up.

At the moment of physical contact, Talia's fingers trembled slightly.

But she didn't break free. Instead, she looked up and immediately saw Cao Xing's cold and stern face, along with a slight smile on his lips.

For a moment, I was in a daze.

Cao Xing shook his head and said casually, "I already said this has nothing to do with you."

"I just want my winnings back."

"Also... let's test everyone's combat capabilities."

"Are you right?"

On the field, Braum and others responded with smiles.

"That's right, my lord!"

"It's been quite a while since we've fought a demigod, so this is a good opportunity to stretch our muscles!"

Seeing this, Talia's eyes reddened slightly, and a touch of emotion welled up in her heart.

A moment later, she suddenly made an important decision.

"Lord Cao Xing..."

Cao Xing replied, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Talia hesitated for a moment, seemingly before finally making a decision.

She said firmly, "After this great battle, I want to lead the Iron Rose Mercenary Group to join your territory!"

"From now on, I will follow in your footsteps to the death and repay your life-saving grace."

"I wonder if you would be willing to accept us?"

Upon hearing this request, everyone on the field showed expressions of surprise!

After all, Talia is no ordinary mercenary.

As the leader of the Iron Rose Mercenary Group, a being on the verge of breaking through to the legendary level, even those kingdoms would vie to win him over.

Countless people extended invitations to her, only to be directly rejected.

Now... she actually took the initiative to ask to join the territory of a lord from another world.

This left Kai Lan, who had remained silent, with mixed feelings all over his heart.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Talia nodded without hesitation and said solemnly, "I've thought it through!"

"This is a decision I have made after careful consideration. Please allow me to join your territory!"

Seeing that she had already said that, Cao Xing did not refuse.

After all, this Rose Goddess has considerable potential and is quite powerful in combat.

In addition, his giant city was about to be completed, which was the time when he needed a lot of manpower.

Bringing her into the territory would indeed be a good choice.

"Alright, after this battle is over, I'll bring your Iron Rose Mercenary Group back to the territory together."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's agreement, Talia's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile, her smile as bright and beautiful as a blooming rose.

The sight of it made everyone slightly lost in thought.

Even Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This woman truly has a breathtakingly beautiful face."

Meanwhile, Elisa and Tong Chuchu jumped up happily.

"Wow! That's great!"

Elisa stepped forward and said, "This beautiful red-haired lady is joining the territory. From now on, we'll be family!"

Upon hearing this, warm smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

It's a happy thing to have a new member in the territory.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to continue onward...

At this moment... the woman with a cold demeanor and snow-white hair who was following behind the group suddenly spoke.

“That…Cao Xing…”

Hearing the sound, Cao Xing turned around and looked up, then met Bai Zhi's fair and aloof face.

"what happened?"

Bai Zhi remained silent for a moment, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Then, she mustered her courage and said, "I'd like to join your territory too, is that alright?"

These words caused another moment of silence in the room.

Everyone was secretly surprised, wondering what was going on today and why all these people wanted to join the territory.
Cao Xing chuckled and asked, "What about your Fleeting Eternity Legion? Are you just going to ignore it?"

"They are all your trusted confidants whom you raised."

Bai Zhi replied with a firm look in her eyes, "I have already considered it and come up with a follow-up plan."

"Isn't your giant city already under construction?"

"Once construction is complete, I plan to move the headquarters of the Eternal Legion to the giant city."

“From now on, even if I join your territory, I can still command the entire legion.”

"In this way, we can effectively command the first and second legions of the four major regions simultaneously."

After listening to her explanation, Cao Xing fell into thought again.

Bai Zhi was brought into the territory, as Liu Muxue had mentioned twice before.

However, because he didn't know this woman well, and Bai Zhi also controlled a large army, he didn't really consider it.

Now, Bai Zhi herself has brought this up.

This forced Cao Xing to reconsider his proposal.

Everyone present fell silent, waiting for the lord to make a decision.

Elisa and Tong Chuchu, standing nearby, once again showed expressions of anticipation in their eyes...

After a brief moment of reflection, Cao Xing, drawing on his time together, came to understand Bai Zhi's personality and temperament.

He's a reliable teammate.

In addition, her proposed solution was indeed quite good.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's decide on that then."

"Once my giant city is completed, you will move your headquarters here with the Eternal Legion, and then I will invite you to join my territory."

Upon hearing his agreement, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded slightly, her expression remaining completely unchanged.

"Thanks……"

At this moment, Elisa excitedly moved closer again.

"That's great! Sister Baizhi and Sister Talia are both joining us! There are more and more beautiful sisters in our territory!"

Assam gripped his longsword and solemnly said, "With the addition of these two, the strength of our territory will rise once again!"

“That’s right!” Brom agreed, “Miss Bai Zhi’s Ice Soul Physique is an extremely rare talent!”

Andrew said devoutly, "Lady Talia is also very powerful; her strength is among the top of all heroes."

A warm smile appeared on Talia's face as she listened to the praise.

Even Bai Zhi, who was always as cold as ice, rarely showed a faint smile.

In the midst of this warm atmosphere, a sudden, violent energy fluctuation came from afar.

"boom--!"

The pressure of a demigod-level being then unleashed.

Everyone's expression hardened, and they all gripped their weapons tightly.

Cao Xing squinted and looked into the distance, saying, "It seems our opponents are getting impatient."

"Let's go and meet this senior."

After saying that, the group quickly headed towards the plain ahead.

They moved at a leisurely pace, not in a hurry to get somewhere.

One minute later, they were still tens of kilometers away from the area where the North Wind King was located.

On the way, Cao Xing also took a look at the attributes of several new items he had obtained after passing the final trial.

The first thing is a brand new title – King of Gladiators.

This title sounds like an advanced version of "Champion Fighter," and it is indeed so.

I glanced at the attributes.

King of Gladiators (Orange)

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Title]

[Title Attributes: Base Attack Power +25%, Critical Damage +35%, Deals an additional 20% damage to enemies with Boss-level potential or higher]

Special Effect: Wrath of the God of War (When health is below 50%, increases critical hit rate by 50% and movement speed by 30%)
Furthermore, upon triggering this effect, it immediately restores 15% of maximum health and generates a shield equal to 10% of health.

(Lasts 20 seconds, trigger interval: 1 hour)

……

After seeing the attributes of this title, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Not bad, it truly lives up to its reputation as an advanced title for champion fighters."

"Not only are the base attack power and critical hit damage increased by 10%, but the additional damage bonus has also been changed from being triggered by Commander-level enemies to being triggered by Boss-level enemies, and it's increased by an additional 10%." "As for the later Wrath of the God of War, its effect has also been greatly improved, and a healing effect has been added."

"It can be said that it combines the characteristics of survival and explosive power."

"That's a really good title!"

He nodded in satisfaction and then immediately changed the title to his own.

In an instant, a powerful force surged from the depths of his body, boosting his attributes once again.

"Very good. This way, my burst of power will be even stronger, and I will be more confident in fighting this immortal demon body."

After changing the title, the next step was the legendary magic elephant blueprint.

Cao Xing flipped his right hand, and a yellowed parchment appeared out of thin air.

The image depicts a giant steel golem, similar to Gundam from an anime, but more rounded.

Most striking are the golem's fists, which have an extremely complex structure and are surrounded by gravity ripples.

This gravity-controlling Suppressor Golem primarily relies on its fists for various attacks.

I glanced at the attributes.

[Golem: Suppressor IG-04 Crafting Blueprints]

[Blueprint Description: This blueprint can be used to craft a Legendary Elephant Guardian in the Mechanical Factory]

[Golem Level: 140]

[Detailed attributes: Available upon completion]

[Golem height: 95.72 meters]

[Crafting Requirements: Master-level Mechanical Factory, Legendary Energy Core *1, Exotic Metal *20, Meteorite Ingot *1, Deli Mo Steel Ingot *1, Master-level Elemental Crystal *5]

……

After reviewing the properties of the blueprint, Cao Xing nodded slightly.

Then he thought to himself, "Although the amount of materials used to create this legendary golem is quite exaggerated, it is still quite reasonable compared to its combat power."

"After all, this is a level 140 golem, which is equivalent to high-level legendary combat power."

"The only difficult one to obtain is that [Legendary Energy Core]."

"However, the system rewarded me with one when I passed the final trial."

"In other words, we have almost gathered all the materials needed to make this legendary golem."

"Next, all I need to do is go back and upgrade the mechanical factory to Master level, then I can start making golems."

Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Next comes the final reward after the final trial, which is also the most precious thing.

That legendary, high-quality manual!

Cao Xing looked at the secret manual floating in his left palm, which emitted starlight and contained some kind of mysterious fluctuation.

【Starfall Codex】

[Quality: Legend]

[Equipment Type: Off-hand Weapon]

[Divine Power: 11/100]

[Equipment Level: 100]

【Equipment Special Effect ①: Spirit +3000, Constitution +2000, Spell Critical Damage +30%】

【Additional Effect ②: Starfall Resonance (After binding, you will receive the blessing of star power. When using galactic skills, the spell range is increased by 50% and the spell cost is reduced by 20%)】

【Special Effect ③: Astral Leap (Consumes 5 points of divine power, instantly teleports to any location within 10 kilometers (can carry one friendly unit).

It leaves a 'star mark' in place for 10 seconds. After activating the star mark, you can return to the original position. Cooldown time: 3 minutes.

【Special Effect ④: Starfall Chapter (This codex can be used to unleash 9 different galactic magics.】

Including advanced spells: Starburst, Galaxy Tremor, Meteor Summoning.

Forbidden Spell: Destiny - Star Orbit Reconstruction (Resets the cooldown of all skills below Legendary rank, and increases the effect of the next skill by 50%)

【Special Effect ⑤: Dark Night Star Lake Domain (Legendary Special Effect: Consumes 15 points of divine power to create a special domain that covers a radius of 5 kilometers.】

This skill forcibly pulls all enemies within range into a dark, lightless lake, reducing their movement speed by 30% and increasing their skill cooldown by 50%. They will also be trapped within the area and unable to escape.

Within this area, all friendly units gain +30% attack power, -30% skill cooldown time, and have a 50% chance to summon a meteor to attack enemies upon attacking, dealing damage equal to (30% of the Codex holder's attack power).

Lasts 3 minutes, cooldown time 24 hours.

(Note: If the attack unleashed by an enemy trapped within the domain exceeds the domain's maximum capacity (Codex holder's HP * 2000%), the domain will be broken, and the Codex holder will suffer a backlash effect...)
(Equipment Description: A powerful codex forged from the core of a fallen star, containing the power to destroy stars.)
(Note: This codex is bound to the soul of the user 'Cao Xing', and cannot be used by anyone else.)
...

...

After reviewing the attributes of this legal code, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction once again.

"Although this legendary codex primarily benefits mages who master 'galactic magic,' even so, the improvement it provides to me is quite terrifying!"

"A mere 30% increase in spell burst is already quite astonishing."

"With the 'King of Gladiators' title I just acquired, my critical damage has reached 215%! (Base critical damage 150%)"

"Adding to the ten-kilometer teleportation ability of [Special Effect Three] and the nine star system spells of [Special Effect Four], my strength has increased dramatically!"

"Especially the forbidden spell skill in [Special Effect 4], it can actually reset the cooldown time of skills below legendary level!"

what is this concept?

Besides his legendary skills, Cao Xing's more powerful skills include: Frozen Thousand Miles, Ice Tornado Storm, Forbidden Spell: Frost Crystal Prison Ice Burial, Forbidden Spell: Doomsday Ice Star, etc.

These four skills have cooldowns that can take several hours or even a whole day, meaning they cannot be used consecutively in a short period of time.

With this [Starfall Codex], he can essentially unleash two waves of forbidden spells in succession.

This is the power that can turn the tide of battle!
In addition to these four special effects, the [Starfall Codex] also has an incredible legendary special effect, which is also a domain effect.

Cao Xing had already witnessed the effects of this technique before.

The space that King Asura pulled him into should be the [Dark Night Star Lake Domain] mentioned in the Codex.

Not only can it trap the enemy inside, it can also weaken the enemy and strengthen the allies!
Of course, there is also the concern that the trapped enemy might be too strong and forcibly break through the domain, in which case Cao Xing would also suffer a backlash.

"Very good. With this codex, my explosive power has been elevated to another level."

"The odds of defeating this immortal demonic body are much higher now."

Of course, Cao Xing couldn't be careless since his opponent possessed demigod-level strength.

The methods of such a powerful person are quite terrifying.

A demigod skill capable of destroying an area spanning hundreds of kilometers.

In the chaos of bloodshed, the demigod-level powerhouses that Cao Xing and his group fought did not have time to use their demigod skills.

If this immortal demonic body were to unleash such a trump card, even Cao Xing wouldn't be very confident he could withstand it.

So, as he advanced, he asked, "Report back, what powerful skills did you all use after passing through the ancient arena?"

The group exchanged glances.

They knew that Cao Xing was mainly asking about those legendary powerhouses.

Marlena spoke first, her ethereal voice emanating from beneath the golden mask: "Master, I used the Sword of Oath, and the legendary skill: God's Destruction - One Cut in Two is still active."

Then Sarah added, "I've already used my legendary ability: Shadow Thousand Kills - Fatal Strike."

Legendary Rafael Zevelin said, "I only used the forbidden spell, Thousand Birds. My legendary skill, Five Thunder God's Punishment, is still active."

Isabel said softly, "I only used forbidden spells. The legendary skill 'All Things Return to Nothingness - Light Annihilation' can still be used today."

After listening to the reports from these four legendary experts, Cao Xing nodded slightly.

So, not counting his own legendary skill [Eternal Frozen Meteor], there's also [Lizardman Statue].

These four legendary skills combined can unleash three legendary abilities.

Based on the data from the last battle against the Korean Bloodline, a demigod's health is at most around 30 billion.

Although their armor is quite formidable, Andrew can reduce it to its lowest level in his Behemoth form.

In other words, as long as you keep your control skills in reserve, you can prevent him from using his trump card.

Taking this guy down will be a piece of cake.

With this in mind, Cao Xing felt much more at ease.

He said with satisfaction, "Very good. Then, once the great battle begins, we will continue to use the same tactics as the next battle against the demigod."

"Do you understand everything?"

He didn't specify what tactics he was using, after all, Kai's son was still alive.

In a moment, this guy will also be an enemy.

Everyone responded in unison, "Understood, Lord!"

……

One minute later.

Cao Xing and his group have arrived at the plains area.

Before my eyes stretched a vast expanse of white, with only the snow-covered earth in sight.

At this moment, fine snow is falling from the sky, and there is no trace of any living creature within a hundred kilometers.

Even the mercenaries, adventurers, and even some legendary figures who were watching dared not approach this area.

After all, everyone knew that a battle between demigods was about to break out here.

One hundred kilometers is a battle zone for demigods.

Of course, if a demigod-level expert were to go berserk, their destructive power would increase several levels further.

Therefore, these powerful individuals who were watching nearby also risked their lives.

"My lord, it seems quite a few powerful figures have arrived in this area!" Bronn said with a hint of something deeper.

After hearing this, Cao Xing also sensed it for a moment.

I also sensed the presence of many legendary powerhouses around me.

There are at least 10 legends hidden among the crowd.

He knew that this was only part of the story.

As the news spreads, more legends will flock here.

Cao Xing smiled and nodded: "There are indeed many powerful guys."

"From this perspective, there are actually quite a few legendary powerhouses in the entire Western Continent."

"Not to mention the entire continent, just in this northern region alone, the number of legendary powerhouses is at least in the hundreds."

At this point, Cao Xing said with some regret, "Unfortunately... during the Blood War, apart from the four great kingdoms, I did not see any other legends emerge."

The matter was in the past, and Cao Xing was too lazy to pursue it further.

But that doesn't stop him from having a bad impression of these selfish guys.

"You came."

A deep, resonant voice, carried by the wind and snow, came from ahead, interrupting Cao Xing's thoughts.

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a tall, straight figure standing in the center of the snow-covered plain ahead.

He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time; a thin layer of fine snow had accumulated on his shoulders, adding to his lonely and desolate air.

……
