There wasn’t a need to worry about labor. There were almost 300 people left behind from the three teams, and they would naturally become the labor force for building the base. These people were all Stage Two beings—suitable to do such manual labor.

With the God Devourer Ant watching over them as deterrence, Link wasn’t worried that they would dare to cause trouble.

“Zhi zhi!” Hearing Link’s words, God Devourer instantly acted and commanded them to start moving.

Momentarily, this large group of Stage Two existences started clearing the rubble and repairing the buildings.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely jump in shock. At such a time, it was unprecedented to use a large group of Stage Two beings as laborers. However, there was an advantage to doing this. With the addition of these people, the time required to build the base would greatly reduce. They might even be able to finish building the base before the monster siege arrived!

Link and the others planned to use Mingshi Hospital as the base point. The area within a ten-mile radius of the hospital would be the base’s territory.

Mingshi Cemetery was naturally included inside too. This was where the City of the Undead was; it was an extremely important district.

From the previous situation, it seemed like the City of the Undead was under Link’s command now. Naturally, he had to make good use of it.

“Xinghe, Xingyao, this place is the City of the Undead. It’s a place that’s perfect for training. You two can go in and enter the trials to increase your strength as fast as possible to prepare for the upcoming challenges,” said Link as he brought Luo Xingyao and the rest in front of the City of the Undead.

Upon hearing his words, their hearts all trembled, and their eyes filled with shock.

They stared at the ancient building standing in front of them. The magnificence it exuded was enough to make people admire and respect it.

This place was filled with extraordinariness! But what surprised them was that Link actually discovered such a treasure-like place in such a short time.

Luo Xingyao knew what the trial dungeons represented—a place all the big factions sought. As long as they could occupy this place, they would definitely become one of the most powerful factions in the future.

The trial ground was the best place to train and level up, allowing one to increase their strength rapidly. Having control over the trial ground also meant that they would face less danger as they trained and became stronger. This way, it would be hard for them not to become powerful!

“Saiya, I shall hand them over to you,” stated Link, looking towards the City of the Undead.

Saiya’s figure quietly appeared in the air, and she respectfully replied, “Yes, Master!”

This scene caused the others’ hearts to tremble again.

What’s this?

Isn’t this a trial dungeon?

Why does it look like this place is more like Link’s personal territory?

Even the City of the Undead’s guardian spirit is also so obedient towards him?

The admiration and respect they felt toward Link grew even stronger in their hearts.

Under Link’s arrangements, the originally messy group instantly became orderly. Those who were supposed to carry stuff went to carry stuff, and those who were supposed to train went to train; everything was well organized.

Seeing this scene, Link slightly nodded and entered the Sin Realm again.

He had already reached Stage Two, Level 9, very close to reaching Stage Three. Link planned to make use of this time to reach Stage Three and increase his strength again. After all, it wasn’t too long before the calamity.

The fifth day of the apocalyptic world was about to end, and only four days were left before the monster siege arrived.

By that time, endless waves of terrifying monsters would come to attack the city. If they weren’t fully prepared for it, they might probably die in this calamity.

Link had personally experienced the terror of a monster siege. It wasn’t something normal people could fight against. Thus, he had to think of and do everything he could to increase his strength in this period of time.

Considering the current situation, the place which would increase Link’s strength the fastest was the Sin Realm.

…

Supreme Blessing!

After entering Sin Realm, Link didn’t instantly start challenging the trials since the Sin Realm had a certain restriction. Every time a person challenged the same trial, the trial difficulty would increase greatly.

Hence, Link planned to upgrade his equipment first.

Supreme Blessing!

Link took out the [Undead Bone Sword], an Epic-grade weapon. He was filled with anticipation toward what it would upgrade into.

Momentarily, strange energy from some unknown place appeared and landed on the sword, completely covering it.

The greyish-white bone sword was totally enveloped within the light now. At the same time, a majestic aura erupted from the sword as if it were the king of the world.

This was a king’s aura; it was like a peerless king had reappeared in the world and was looking down at his subjects proudly, causing the hearts of all creatures who sensed this aura to throb.

The next moment, the greyish-white bone sword disappeared. In its place was a completely golden sword.

This sword was as long as two meters, and it had golden light glowing around it. The sword’s surface was engraved with mysterious runic drawings. The hilt was inlaid with a colorful gemstone, which seems to contain incomparable power.

When this sword appeared, the world around Link seemed to tremble. It was like a peerless king had descended upon this place, causing turmoil in Sin Realm as well.

“A peerless heavenly weapon!” Link was delighted. He could sense that this sword was very powerful, much more powerful than [Red Sky]!

Upon seeing the attributes of the [King’s Sword], Link’s heart shook. As expected of a Myth-grade weapon, it is indeed powerful.

Link stretched out his hand and held [King’s Sword] in his hand!

Clang!

The sword intent was clamoring, and the king’s aura was still very vigorous. It lingered around the sword, causing strange scenes to appear around the sword.

Link felt extremely vast energy shoot out from [King’s Sword], which then entered his body. This energy caused Link’s aura to intensify abruptly by quite a large extent.

Only when Link truly possessed this sword did he understand what a king’s aura was.

A golden light flashed in Link’s eyes, causing his aura to become even more solemn and majesty. He was like a peerless king that came out of a fairy tale, looking down upon the world with contempt and pride.

If Link had this holy sword previously, he wouldn’t have needed to spend too much effort to defeat the Black Dragon Gang’s three team leaders.

No matter what kind of tricks or technique his opponent used, everything else would be crushed into pieces when faced with absolute strength.

Link’s strength hadn’t increased by a small amount. No, his strength had increased significantly.

Epic-grade weapons simply weren’t comparable to Myth-grade weapons at all.

After feeling the endless energy flowing into his body from [King’s Sword], Link’s battle spirit intensified as well.

He couldn’t help but think about testing this sword’s power. For this purpose, Link didn’t hesitate at all and entered the seventh level of Sin Realm again!
