1068 First Planar War (IV)

A formation appeared before these martial artists, and many people rushed out; they had almost no rules and regulations, and their powers varied from mortals (yes, mortals with no cultivation) to Dao Ancestors' and Insurgents' level characters.

Tie Gang's eyes shrunk as he saw the people approaching, "Are those...undead?" The creatures attacking them were indeed not living as the stench of death oozed out of their bodies. Additionally, many of them were skeletons or were missing parts. _{freewebnøvel.com}

"So, that's their tactic," he muttered, understanding the situation. The cultivation system of this world had control of Life and Death Energy, meaning that even the most ordinary martial artist could reanimate corpses after entering the Death Realm. They used this fact to their advantage, controlling the dead of their worlds as cannon fodders for this war.

Tie Gang acted swiftly and ordered the people not to activate the formation that separated people into layers.

"Release the Puppet Core," he ordered. A formation appeared on the Myriad Emperor World's side, and countless puppets rushed out. Most were humanoid shapes with different weapons (mostly cold weapons, but many with projectile weapons like arrows and cannons), while other puppets resembled animals and demon races. Some pinnacle puppets were created based on Innate Demons and Primordial Gods.

Tie Gang calmly observed as these two legions crashed, and chaos ensued. Puppets and undead had no emotions like fear or hesitation, so they tore each other apart. Even the high-tier puppets with souls were stripped of their sense of self to turn them into pure killing machines.

He watched as a group of puppets bite through the flesh of countless undead. Still, despite their limbs being separated from their bodies, they clawed at their opponent for a final kill before their misery of an existence ended.

Typically, high-level puppets can be programmed to find weaknesses in their opponent, but the undead did not have weaknesses. So, the result will be the same whether they burn, freeze, electrocute, crush, cut, pierce, or explode their opponents. Additionally, since the undead move purely due to Death Qi, Soul/Spirit Attacks did not affect them.

The undead did their part in this war. Surprisingly, they had an overwhelming advantage due to the sheer number of mortals. Individuals, these mortals, were useless in such high-scale battles. However, the martial artists from the Martial Hegemony World proved adept at this tactic. Trillions of mortals will explode in a frenzy of Death Energy that is detrimental to even Tier 5 cultivators.

And this was not the end. Trillions of mortals will fuse into an abomination of Death and Resentment. The creatures they created were only Tier 5, but their combat ability was on par with the weakest Tier 7 because of their unique ability to contaminate the mind with their resentment.

With this dirty, almost cruel tactic, the undead slowly overwhelmed the puppets. So, these machines changed tactics and began exploding before their death. They can take out large groups of enemies with this suicidal approach, thus slowing the undead's advance. This battle was fierce and terrifying despite the lack of any blood.

Myriad Emperor World's side:

"At this rate, we're going to lose," commented one of the Legion Commanders.

"That's obvious. Our Puppet Core still requires resources to build, but these people have too many mortal undead on their sides." The amount of mortals dying in one cultivation in general is simply outrageous, let alone throughout the history of the world. So, thinking about how many mortals these people have at their disposition made everyone tremble.

"So, what's next?" asked someone. "Will our Commander order us to intervene?"

"Let's see."

Martial Hegemony World's Side:

Qian Heng, who stood in the void accompanied by three individuals, had a deep frown as he watched the outcome of this confrontation. To say he was not pleased is an understatement. This Death Legion aimed to weed out most of the enemy's population, but he did not expect them to respond with a similar tactic.

The Death Legion was instrumental in winning the war against the Taoists, who forbade it, knowing its potential. But now, its effectiveness has been drastically reduced.

"What should we do now?" asked Lightning Fist, and he did not receive an immediate response.

"Purple Dragon, do you have any suggestions?" asked Qian Heng, looking at the Eternal Class Powerhouse from the Rising Dragon Sect.

"There is no way that they have more puppets than we have of the dead. So, we only need to pile corpses onto them."

"That's what I was thinking too," nodded Qian Heng before looking at the battlefield; his eyes focused on two people: Ao Shen and Huo Fenghuang. "Now, our real worry is those two."

"Don't worry. Our plan will surely work," reassured Purple Dragon.
