A gentle white light was cast upon Isloa and her companions, filling them with warmth.
To their surprise, they found that their energy within was slowly reviving, and even their level experience had slightly increased.
Isloa has reached the Third-Order Peak Complete Fulfillment and could break through to the fourth order when she returns.
Duo Lai advanced to the mid-fourth order.
Rakshasa, Hong Yi, and Xi Liu each ranked up one or two levels.
Could there be such benefits from purifying the Nest of Filth?
And in front of them,
Stunning Light Balls gradually formed within the dazzling white light.
Four blue and two green, totaling six light clusters.
Although the Nest of Filth was just born and far from complete, it was still a nest-level filth and gave a big explosion.
As the Nest of Filth was purified, the red fog enveloping the area quickly dissipated.
The barren ground began to sprout hints of green.
Even though it was just a tiny bit.
The monsters around them partly continued to attack while some scattered in all directions.
"The battle is not yet over."
Isloa said, "It's our turn to take action now. We cannot let nearby monsters escape, especially those fourth-order bosses, or else they will bring more trouble when they attack our territory with the next wave."
As she spoke, the River of Stars quickly flew out, instantly transforming into a starry river of hundreds of meters long.
This star river, like a net, filtered out the majority of normal monsters, trapping fourth-order bosses within it.
Isloa successfully captured more than ten fourth-orders.
She won't bother slaying, as she had no extraordinary killing moves. By combining several techniques with the Art of Gathering Stars, she could deliver a one-shot kill to a fourth-order boss.
However, it's cumbersome, tiresome, and highly exhausting.
Isloa isn't obsessed with her kill count, so she'd rather use all her strength to restrain.
With a downward press from her hand, the star river trembled and temporarily trapped the fourth-order bosses.
At this time, Rakshasa and Xi Liu made their moves.
Xi Liu activated Dragon Mode, breathing out dragon flames and producing sharp claws from his hand.
Rakshasa, with his three heads and six arms, activated Unparalleled Harvest Mode. In combination with others, Rakshasa's killing efficiency was even higher than Uta's under 'Opening the Shackles'.
He was originally a high-damage, high-speed warrior.
Hong Yi... just pitched in a little, for her Ghost Market had been severely damaged.
Duo Lai directly flew up to the sky, laughing as he hurled down balls of red fire, and the Slime underneath his mouth was wide-open, pushed to its limits.
Earth Rock Dragon, War Golem, Fear Demon... Several fourth-order Bosses that rushed towards Duo Lai froze in their tracks, as rifts of shattered space spread from both sides towards the center.
Eventually, the whole area collapsed and fell, as if bitten and swallowed by a giant mouth.
General Duo Lai once again achieved the highest kill... count?
Current kills by Duo Lai: 7→12
Current kills by Rakshasa: 8→15
At the same time, in different areas.
The Punishment Army was still struggling to break through the waves and march.
"The red fog seems to be thinning. Am I imagining things?"
Lord Canglang looked around, muttering to himself.
Lord Kuang Dao chugged an advanced potion and gazed around, "It does seem like... the red fog is dissipating!"
In just a few tens of seconds, the red fog had faded from dense to thin. Although the red mists floating in the air were still abundant compared to the outside world, visibility had significantly improved.
The eerie and ominous feelings that had been hovering in their hearts were gradually fading away.
The ground was still dry and broken, but the strange dark red patterns on it were disappearing... Lord Kuang Dao even saw a tender green sprout growing out of a crack in a rock.
All these changes confirmed one thing...
"The Nest of Filth has been purified!"
"The nest has been eliminated!!"
It couldn't be that such a handful of people actually managed to purify the main nest, could it?
If several powerful Lords combined their efforts, it might be plausible.
As the filth waned, the pressure on the Expeditionary Team greatly reduced. After all, this team only had a little over a hundred members and weren't very noticeable in the monsters' eyes, at least not attractive enough to draw thousands of monsters to continuously attack.
It was the existence of the Land of Filth that attracted all the monsters.
But now, the monsters began to scatter and rush towards more attractive areas.
"The Nest of Filth has been eliminated. Now, it's our turn to fight back."
"Kill all these monsters, we can't let them escape!"
After a moment of shock, the Lords were invigorated.
No matter how the nest was purified, at least their mission was completed, and the crisis in Shiling Town was resolved. They didn't need to worry about whether to desert or not anymore.
Now, they just needed to do a little bit of cleaning up and exterminate these high-order monsters to prevent them from harming the territories around.
Otherwise, once these monsters dispersed, even a few third-orders leading a group could threaten a newly developed territory.
As strong individuals, they should come to the rescue of their juniors whenever possible.
Slaughtering high-order monsters could also yield rare Remnant Souls and materials, so it's a win-win situation.
With the command given, each Army Soul Corps rushed in like a giant blade slicing through the vast tide of monsters, tearing them apart fiercely.
The territory of Shiling Town.
Many newly appointed territories had fallen.
During the previous Red Fog Disaster Moon stage, wave after wave of monster attacks had exerted a lot of pressure on many new territories. The emergence of the Nest of Filth was just the final straw that broke the territories.
