After the upgrade was completed, Xiao Mo immediately checked the detailed information.
However, upon seeing the requirements for upgrading to a high-level Divine King artifact, he felt a headache coming on.
This was because the requirement to upgrade to a high-level Divine King artifact directly increased by twenty thousand drops of divine power condensed liquid.
In other words, to upgrade to a top-tier Divine King artifact, five hundred thousand drops of divine power condensed liquid would be needed.
Following the established patterns, it was estimated that upgrading to a low-level Divine Lord artifact would require at least one hundred thousand drops of divine power condensed liquid.
What kind of concept was such a massive amount of divine power condensed liquid?
Even the ancient Goddess of Destiny, Ira, couldn't produce so much divine power condensed liquid.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to lend him divine power condensed liquid earlier.
After all, in Xiao Mo's memory, the ancient deity, Goddess of Destiny Ira, was quite kind.
If she couldn't produce divine power condensed liquid, it was definitely because she didn't have it. If she had, she would have lent it to Xiao Mo.
However, thinking that this was his innate divine artifact and that it could be upgraded, Xiao Mo felt relieved.
After all, this Immortal-Demon Sword, symbolizing the ruler's power, was his innate divine artifact and possessed many powerful functions.
This artifact was countless times stronger than the Golden Cudgel of the Lion Clan's Beast God, Spiwu.
Moreover, this innate divine artifact could continuously be upgraded. As long as he had enough divine power condensed liquid, in the future, it could even be directly upgraded to a top-tier Supreme Divine Lord artifact.
Therefore, even if it cost more divine power condensed liquid, such an artifact was worth it.
Xiao Mo comforted himself in his heart.
After all, this was an evolutionary innate divine artifact. If word got out, almost all deities would be envious. What more could he be dissatisfied with?
If it were any other deity, even a Divine Lord-level deity, they would probably go all out to upgrade it.
Another important piece of information was that the Immortal-Demon Sword could now mobilize three-tenths of the power of the kingdom's citizens.
This meant that with the Immortal-Demon Sword, he could unconditionally mobilize three-tenths of the strength of all his subordinates.
It was known that he had over a hundred deities under his command, thousands of Saint-level experts, and millions of soldiers at the Monarch-level and below.
Most importantly, among the deities, there were several God-King level Immortal-Demons such as Xian'er and Mo Youyou.
Three-tenths of the combined strength of all these individuals would undoubtedly be terrifying, with an unimaginable power.
With this alone, Xiao Mo felt he possessed combat power no weaker than the peak of a high-grade God King.
If he unleashed this power during a battle of the same level, he would surely be able to suppress the opponent with a wave of his hand.
Xiao Mo looked at the Immortal-Demon Sword in his hand with a smile.
Its appearance had not changed, but the divine might emanating from it had increased by more than just a little compared to before the upgrade.
The power of the two was incomparable!
The current power of the Immortal-Demon Sword was sufficient to deal with the upcoming great decisive battle, so Xiao Mo did not plan to upgrade it further for the time being.
Perhaps after Fengxue Divine King Ling Hanshuang sent the remaining soul crystals, he would consider upgrading the Immortal-Demon Sword further.
Xiao Mo eagerly anticipated the day when the Immortal-Demon Sword would be upgraded to a Divine Lord artifact, or even a Supreme Divine Lord artifact.
At that time, his strength would undoubtedly be even greater.
Then, with a thought, the Immortal-Demon Sword turned into a stream of light and merged into his brow, becoming a miniature sword suspended in his sea of consciousness.
Nourished by the soul stone sea, the compatibility between Xiao Mo and the Immortal-Demon Sword would be greatly improved, making it more effortless to use.
...
Approximately three hours later, Xiao Mo suddenly sensed numerous breaths rapidly approaching the Immortal-Demon Royal Capital.
"They're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time!"
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips as he muttered to himself.
At the same time, Xian'er silently appeared beside Xiao Mo, evidently having also sensed the enemy's approach.
Outside the Immortal-Demon Royal Capital.
Tens of thousands of meters away from the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's royal capital, two armies of terrifying scale appeared.
At a glance, the mountains and plains were filled with figures of all shapes and colors, and it was no exaggeration to say they covered the sky and the earth.
Both in the sky and on the ground, there were allied forces, dense and vast, blotting out the sun, stretching to the ends of the world.
As the allied forces appeared, the aura of these figures converged, forming a terrifying spiritual energy storm that directly tore through the clouds in the sky.
The ground trembled as they marched, making one's scalp tingle!
These two armies came from the north and the east, respectively.
The east was naturally the allied army from the Dark Forest region, and the north was the allied army from the Great Northern Icefield region.
The number of troops in both armies was quite even, with each numbering around seven to eight hundred million. Among them, soldiers from territorial forces were the most numerous.
Moreover, the types of soldiers were extremely diverse, such as elves, goblins, dwarves, dragons, undead, and so on.
The combined total of these two armies was fourteen hundred million, and possibly more.
They advanced towards the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's royal capital at almost the same speed.
When they were still about ten thousand meters away from the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's royal capital, the armies from the two directions converged, forming an even more terrifyingly large army.
After assembling, they marched to the moat of the royal capital and halted, less than three thousand meters away from the city walls.
Such a large army stationing itself there made the Immortal-Demon Royal Capital's predicament appear precarious to any observer.
"Is that the royal capital of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom? It is indeed magnificent, just as the rumors said!"
Within the allied forces, all the lords were stunned by the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
This was the first time they had seen such a spectacular giant city. The moat alone surrounding the royal capital was three thousand meters wide, looking like a vast ocean.
And the city walls of the royal capital were over two thousand meters high, giving a feeling of soaring into the clouds.
Standing at the foot of the city wall, humans were like tiny ants. Even dragons, with their bodies one to two hundred meters long, were no different from small flying insects in front of the royal capital's city walls.
Anyone who saw the city walls of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's royal capital would feel a sense of grandeur and invincibility.
At this moment, the lords of these allied forces had such a mentality.
"To be honest, if it weren't for our fourteen hundred million troops, and the backing of a large number of deities, I wouldn't have the courage to attack such a majestic city!"
"Me too! My legs are a little shaky right now!"
"Just these city walls alone, I'm afraid even peak Saint-level experts couldn't shake them. It truly gives one a sense of powerlessness!"
"After all, this is a main city that has reached the level of a high-level main city. One step further and it would be an imperial capital, so its defense value is naturally terrifying!"
"We have to admit that Qianmo is indeed the strongest lord among the territorial forces. This high-level main city alone is enough to showcase his status and power!"
"Qianmo is indeed powerful!"
Many lords in the allied army were discussing in awe.
In just one month, Xiao Mo had developed his territory to this extent, sweeping across billions of lords and intimidating the entire territorial force.
This was something no other lord could achieve.
Setting aside their enmity, Lord Qianmo was truly worthy of their heartfelt admiration and reverence!
