X-Dragon Era

Finally, after a month, the Sky-opening Sect had selected a hundred members with Purple Crystal Five Stars and above who had also successfully mastered the Three Great Battle Techniques. Following this... Xin Yun named this team the Blood Slaughter Legion. This legion would serve as Luo Fu's personal troop, his own legionnaires. Including Luo Fu himself and his seven children, they made up One Hundred and Eight Generals, corresponding to the One Hundred and Eight Stellar Spirits in the heavens. Even their names now bore the prefixes of the Stellar Spirits! Among them... As the leader, Luo Fu is the Leader Star of Heaven!

This meant that, aside from Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang, all five major heads now had their direct subordinate forces: Ming Xuan's 365 disciples, Yan Qingying's 12 Angel Envoys, and Luo Fu's 108 Stellar War Generals!

As for Xin Yun, he actually had a kind of legionnaire, just in a different form... that's right—the Four Great Sword Souls. With the Four Great Sword Souls by his side, there was no need for any additional support. Once the world's number one lethal formation was deployed, it would be invincible, making any need for legionnaires redundant.

Moreover, at the root of it all, whatever belonged to everyone, belonged to Xin Yun. The 365 Angel Envoys were prepared for the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars and, although they were under Ming Xuan's command, everything in the sect was owned by the sect master. Xin Yun could use them as he wished, and no one would utter a word of objection. After all, everything was based on Xin Yun, on the Sky-opening Axe. With Xin Yun, they had everything; without his support, they were nothing. So although he did not directly command, these members' true master was, without doubt, Xin Yun.

As for Yi Luo Xiang, there was even less need to mention her position. Everything inside the sect was at her disposal; to refuse her was equivalent to defying Xin Yun. No one would do so, and those who dared would certainly be expelled. With just a mere thought, Xin Yun could strip them of everything.

Moreover, although Yi Luo Xiang didn't have any legionnaires, the main point was that she didn't need any, just like the venerable Laozi from ancient times. He didn't truly need any disciples. With the Taiji Diagram in hand, he could set up the Dual Polarity Dust Formation at any time, requiring no assistance from others. Laozi only took one disciple, and that was for the purpose of guarding his abode; after all, Laozi sometimes had to go out. To prevent disturbances at home during his absences, he needed a disciple to help keep watch.

Furthermore, Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Enslavement could compensate for this aspect. Now at the Crystal Tier, she could enslave four Giant Dragons, and at the Diamond Tier, she could enslave six. With so many assistants, she truly didn't need any legionnaires, and she also lacked the energy to care for them, as she had all the affairs of the entire sect in her hands, and even boundless energy would not suffice.

Atop the grand hall, all members of the Sky-opening Sect gathered once again. Looking at the hundred Stellar War Generals standing in neat rows at the front, Xin Yun's eyes shone as he said, "Good, you have indeed not disappointed me. From now on, you are the first group to become Inner Sect disciples of the Sky-opening Sect!"

"Wow!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, all the Stellar War Generals exclaimed in unison, especially those in the back rows who hadn't become Stellar War Generals; they were dying of envy, involuntarily letting out sighs of jealousy and regret.

Although everyone was an official member, even among official members there were distinctions between the inner and outer sects. Besides the five major heads, the first batch of Inner Sect members included the gang leader of the Crazy Dragon Gang, Tie Zhan. As for the Deputy Gang Leader, he took over Tie Zhan's former position and became the leader of the Crazy Dragon Hall, but he still remained an Outer Sect disciple.

Although Tie Zhan lost his position as the hall leader, he gained the precious position of deputy leader of the Blood Slaughter Legion and became an Inner Sect disciple, nearly bursting with joy.

Inner and Outer Sect disciples could both enjoy immortality, but only Inner Sect disciples were allowed to use the Four Great Innate Supreme Treasures. Outer Sect disciples might occasionally be temporarily granted the right to use them when needed, but as soon as they were done, the treasures would be taken back immediately.

Upon becoming Inner Sect disciples, each person was immediately issued a Taiji Diagram, a Chaos Bell, a Sword of Executing Immortal, and five All-Heaven Netherworld Banners! Additionally, they were outfitted with the distinctive battle armor of the Sky-opening Sect, forged from the Chaos Cauldron!

Of course, these items were also available to Outer Sect disciples, but they required contributions to be exchanged. Acquiring these treasures without contributing a hundred and eighty years of crazy work was impossible. Meanwhile, these Inner Sect disciples obtained it all the moment they became Inner Sect members.

Soon, all One Hundred and Eight Inner Sect disciples donned their regimental armor, with five All-Heaven Netherworld Banners on their backs, the Bane of Immortals Sword strapped across their waist, a Taiji Diagram clasped around their right wrist, and holding the Chaos Bell in their left hand. Each stood upright, their faces filled with excitement and ecstasy, fully aware of the might of these treasures.

The Sword of Executing Immortal was the sharpest—not only could it be used in close combat, but it could also emit Sword Qi. In dragon-mounted combat, its Sword Qi could reach up to a hundred meters. Even without the dragon's power, they could project Sword Qi to attack targets within a ten-meter radius.

Their armor, linked with the Chaos Bell and the Taiji Diagram, when combined, could trigger the Golden Bell move to defend against physical attacks and the Taiji Shield for energy impacts. With the addition of personal energy enhancement, their protection became almost absurd. Without destroying their mounts, it would be tough to defeat the riders directly.

The five All-Heaven Netherworld Banners on their backs were not for show; they could be used as hidden weapons. In slaying the enemy, they were also able to devour the opponent's flesh and soul, amplifying the banners' power.

The Taiji Diagram was useful for both travel and escape and could also provide the Taiji Shield for energy defense. The Chaos Bell was a versatile offensive and defensive tool, capable of defending against physical strikes, as well as being employed as a weapon for single-target impacts, smashing, and group sonic assaults—it was nearly omnipotent.

In essence, this first batch of One Hundred and Eight Stellar War Generals was armed to the teeth. Coupled with their Giant Dragon mounts and the Three Great Battle Techniques, they were a destructive military force that no power could afford to overlook! (To be continued.
