Founding of The Nation, Knox

"Why didn't Burton come to see me?"

Zhang Yang saw that Burton had not come to see his master for a long time.

"Burton has just left the desert forest, but after hearing about the strange phenomenon caused by you coming out of seclusion, I believe that he will come back soon."

Zhang Xue'er explained.

"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded and brought Zhang Xue'er out of the crypt.

The interior of the crypt was similar to the imperial palace outside.

There were many combustible candlesticks placed around it.

As long as Zhang Yang slightly emitted the aura of ignition, the candlesticks could be lit by themselves.

As soon as they walked out of the crypt, the dazzling sunlight above their heads shone directly into Zhang Yang's eyes.

However, the eyes of cultivators were different from those of ordinary people, so there was nothing strange about it.

"Greetings to our honorable master, the Immortal King!"

The attackers who were still in the desert forest gathered and looked up at Zhang Yang's tall body.

"Greetings, Master!"

At this moment, a deep voice emerged from the bottom of the lake, revealing his huge body.

It was worth mentioning that the bigger the size of this continent, the more powerful it was.

It mainly depended on the specific combat strength.

Zhang Yang's gaze swept over the attackers one by one.

Excluding the attackers that Burton took away, there were roughly over 200 attackers here.

Most of them were females, carrying a newborn attacker on their backs.

It seemed that the number of 1,000 was a little conservative.

"From today onward, my empire will be officially established! Its name will be Knox!"

Zhang Yang directly copied the name of an empire from a game in his memory.

"Long live, Knox!!!"

"Long live, Knox!!!"

"Long live, Knox!! "

"..."

All the family members in the surroundings shouted to the sky, "Long live, Knox!".

The slogan resounded through the sky!

It was as if even the natural gods could hear it.

Initially, Zhang Yang wanted to use Sorima. After all, they were in the desert.

However, he did not feel that it was as domineering as Knox.

Despite that, he could change the name of the empire whenever he wanted.

What? Why do you ask?

Zhang Yang was the ruler of the empire. Hence, who would dare to refute his opinion?

Was that not courting death?

"Great majesty! Your humble servant is late! Please forgive him!"

At this moment, Burton was the first to rush back with his team of horned lizards.

The first thing he did when he arrived beside Zhang Yang was to jump down and kneel on the ground.

"Forgive you? No, Burton, not only do I have to forgive you, but I also have to reward you," Zhang Yang said slowly.

Burton was ecstatic when he heard that.

Initially, he thought that he would be punished when he heard the first half of Zhang Yang's sentence.

However, he did not expect that not only was there no punishment, but there was also a reward!

"Thank you, for your reward, Your Majesty! Even if your reward is saliva, it will still be the biggest reward for me!"

Burton said fervently.

"Hmph, saliva? Forget it, I am not that disgusting."Zhang Yang's mouth twitched.

Although high-level cultivators were said to be full of treasures, using saliva to reward their relatives... it was better to forget it.

"Burton! Leader of the Sharp Blade Tribe! The Sharp Blade of Knox! The first warrior to charge forward!

"I hereby bestow upon you the title of Crystal Vanguard as well as a bloodline upgrade!"

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, a piece of dragon scale in the ring melted and fell to the ground.

That piece of dragon scale quickly turned into a red crystal that was similar to a stone.

This was formed from a trace of the bloodline of a red dragon that Zhang Yang had picked up previously. It could help low-level magical beasts upgrade their own bloodline.

It was said that dragons used this method to increase the strength of their spawns.

However, this reward was very rare. After all, dragons usually did not care about the strength of their spawns' bloodline.

'If your bloodline is low, then I'll just find a higher one. Why do I have to find you?'

However, Zhang Yang was not a dragon. He felt that as the first pioneer among the spawns, Burton was qualified to obtain this opportunity to improve his bloodline.

"This is..."

Burton's breathing became rapid. He never thought that his majesty would be willing to give him the bloodline ice crystal.

"Thank you, for your reward, Your Majesty! Your body will always exist in my soul!"

Burton was so excited that he did not know what to say. He directly offered his soul to Zhang Yang.

From now on, his soul only belonged to Zhang Yang.

"I hope you won't let me down," Zhang Yang said faintly.

"Please, don't worry!" Burton pressed his head on the ground.

Zhang Yang looked down at his subordinates and said, "Okay."

Burton stretched out his trembling six legs and grabbed the bloodline ice crystal that Zhang Yang had given him.

The bloodline ice crystal emitted a red light, like a rare gem.

In fact, it was more precious than a gem.

With Zhang Yang's permission, Burton inserted the bloodline ice crystal into his abdomen.

"Ah!"

The bloodline ice crystal quickly dissolved on the flesh on Burton's abdomen and drilled into the depths.

The burning pain made Burton scream. The wound on his abdomen was charred and white smoke was rising from it.

Crack!

The bloodline ice crystal was completely swallowed by Burton in his abdomen. A terrifying energy was being nurtured in his body.

Boom!!!

With Burton as the center, a visible wave spread out in all directions.

Zhang Yang immediately opened up a shield to block Hu Tao, so that she was not blown away.

The other attackers were almost blown away by this powerful wave, and had no choice but to drill half of their bodies into the ground.

A coquettish purple light bloomed on Burton's abdomen!

The skin on his entire body turned into something like an amethyst, and a curved tail grew out of his butt.

His thick jaw gradually shrank back, and his body expanded to seven meters.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Burton had completed his evolution, and now he could feel the invincible power on his body.

[Name: Burton]

[Abilities: Bite, Crystal Poison Needle, Crystal Scorpion Armor, Human form ]

[Remarks: a very powerful mutant]

'What a guy!'

A bloodline ice crystal was able to make Burton's stats equal to that of a middle-rank cultivator.

However, that was only the stats of an ordinary cultivator. He was still far from being a true genius cultivator.

Furthermore, Burton was already an adult.

In the crypt...

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. During this month, I did not find any traces of the desert witch."

Burton was currently half-kneeling on the ground in his human form.

His human form was his unique skill, but in reality, he was far from being a human.

Have you ever seen a person wearing an amethyst outfit and was full of sharp teeth?

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Yang did not blame Burton.

The desert witch's whereabouts were erratic, so it was normal that they could not find her.

Only Zhang Yang's relatives were qualified to enter the crypt.

Among them were Zhang Xue'er, Hu Tao, Burton, and Chuan.

However, Chuan's body was too big, so he could not get in at all.

"I heard that you found another desert forest?" Zhang Yang was interested. "Yes, Your Majesty. That desert forest is ownerless.

"A batch of our troops are stationed there, waiting for your decision," Burton said.

Zhang Yang laid on the leather of the horned lizard and said, "I'm too lazy to go to that place. Xue'er, go and take a look."
