This Tactic was an incredible choice for them. Their wealth had increased exponentially since they started. Even faintly surpassing Humans and the LipFreeds.
''1 Hour 19 Minutes''
Thinking of the Timer, Dante realised that it was almost time for the battle to start.
All that was left was the final mobilisation of the Families Forces.
After monopolising a huge area of land the population in Dantes city had long since passed billions. The amount of soldiers capable of fighting were already in the hundreds of millions.
Even the Fairy state cultivators were in the thousands. As for some of the patriarchs, they had already reached the Spirit State.
The immobilisation was quick and organised. Each force found their own team or set up to attack on their own.
Watching the Millions of Cultivators line-up Dante couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. If he managed to win Plane he doesn't have to worry about it backlashing against him.

''And the final competition begins now! Good Luck to all those who have survived this far. ''
Dante suddenly felt an incredible pressure drawing him away from his current location. Dante had to forcibly press down his defensive charms. They were provided to him by Antiques and could naturally beat the leftover spirit of a dead Antique.
But Dante followed the transportation, appearing just above a luscious field spreading Hundreds of millions of Miles.
Within the Distance Dante could see various castles, but these were clearly much more advanced than the ones Dante had previously built.
Although they couldn't compare to Dantes, they were still the size of small countries on Earth.
As for Dante, he was transported up to a large cloud floating above the castles. Stood around him were various Young Children in luxurious outfits and wearing golden insignia of various creatures.
Just like Dante they were looking around at the other castles. But they all had the same reaction when they saw Dantes. Eyes wide open mouth agape, looking at the giant city.
But there was one person who drew Dantes attention. A black robed young boy hidden at the corner of the cloud.
It was not the fact that he was wearing a robe, many of the heirs here were covering their faces with masks or with hoods including Dante himself.
What drew his attention was the Dark Silver Light Radiating off of the boy. Surprisingly Dante felt a deep connection drawing him towards the Aura.
Naturally it was the Aura of Earth, attracting him towards it. The aura was quite low however Dante could tell it was much deeper and powerful than Alice's.
He desperately wanted to take the shot and wipe out the opponent. His cultivation was already at the Middle Stages of Core Building Realm, but Dante could easily subdue him.
However Dante couldn't easily take the shot. If the Antique said that the contestants were protected then there would definitely be mechanisms in place to protect them.
Considering that it might cost him some defensive charms that are the quality of Antiques he had to consider the blow down to the first movement.
But now definitely isn't the time. There are still hundreds of other inheritors surrounding him, first must come the elimination of them all.
Thinking of this Dante cast his eyes down towards the flooding of troops beneath the cloud. Dantes puppets had already begun to ruthlessly invade the nearby castles.
But just like Dante, a huge castle on the opposite side of the centre was expanding very quickly occupying various castles around the planes.
While the forces weren't as strong as Dante they were quickly occupying the castles who couldn't even resist in front of their strength.
Slowly the other contestants on the cloud were flying out repeatedly after their Steles were destroyed.
The Patriarch of the LipFreed Family Ash flew directly towards one of the largest cities in the competition. Followed Closely by millions of his clan they smashed into the opposing army.
Body parts were flying everywhere as the LipFreeds total strength fully came into play. Smashing away hundreds of enemies in a single swipe.
Ash himself had long since reached the Spirit State. As he leapt directly to the apex of the castle. Smashing his heavy fist deep into the stone Stele and grasping the crystal in the centre.
Ignoring the slight blood trickling down his hand Ash stared happily at the giant crystal holding the familiar carving of LipFreeds.
And at the same time the Patriarch of the Activator Clan used his absolute speed to dodge between opposing attacks before he too reached the opposing enemies Stele.
The extreme speed of his following clan allowed them to easily manoeuvre between attacks, wiping out their enemies like deadly assassins.
And just like that, within a few fleeting moments two contestants standing around Dante were forcibly removed from the floating cloud.
Scenes like this were happening all over the place, with any force trying desperately to eliminate their opponents.
But some took other tactics, holing up in their own castle hoping that they wouldn't be the next target of Dantes armies.
However they weren't that lucky, as everyone was wiped out one by one.
Finally after a week of fighting the endless massacres in the centre of the planes stopped.
Every city had long been occupied leaving only two giants left on the battlefield.
Naturally it was Dantes army and the young men.
Their forces had fought countless battles between them, however Dante always took the upper hand.
However the man seemed to have an endless supply of troops coming from within his castle.
But on the other hand, so did Dante. After these endless battles not only had Dantes troops not decreased but rather they had very much increased.
Not only have the corpses been reused as labourers for the large families but the captives and crystals allowed Dantes' troops to be almost unending.
But Dante noticed that he had one clear advantage. A vast majority of the troops within his army were only in the body refining state.
His top combat power was abysmal at best. So Dante wasn't largely worried about the result of this battle.
What he needed to consider now was his attack on the boy himself.
Both Dante and the boy had situated themselves on opposite sides of the Cloud, but the distance was miniscule. Dante could cover it in less than a second.
However what Dante worried about was the precautions that the antique had taken.
But time was running out.
