Ye Han stood atop the back of the abyssal dragon Baires, laughing hysterically. His madness jolted everyone and the dragons out of their killing frenzy, making them aware of their surroundings. The entire area was stained with blood, resembling a hellish battlefield strewn with severed limbs and crushed bones.
"Kill them all," Ye Han commanded abruptly, his expression fierce. As soon as he finished speaking, over twenty figures swiftly entered the formation, all targeting a single region. Fearing a desperate counterattack that might cost him his undead slaves, Ye Han took no chances.
Kapulos from the Sword Sect, enraged by Ye Han's order, realized the dire situation they were in. After a day and night of battle, every Holy Stage powerhouse in the formation was severely wounded, and Ye Han's final move was unexpected.
"Haha, you've saved me a lot of trouble," Ye Han laughed, indifferent to Kapulos' anger. Everything he did was for his own benefit. If he had to fight a million people individually, it would take him almost a year, with unpredictable risks along the way.
Ye Han devised this strategy to quickly eliminate his enemies without endangering his hard-earned undead slaves. He exploited their greed, confidence, and pride. By now, only the late-stage and peak Holy Stage powerhouses were left alive, and his highest-controlled undead slave was only at the late Holy Stage. Without this strategy, he wouldn't stand a chance against these survivors.
Under the relentless assault of over twenty undead slaves, the two most populated regions were swiftly eradicated. The zombie beasts devoured the corpses in an instant, driven to further brutality and frenzy by the blood. Guided by the bloodthirsty undead slaves, they showed no mercy, abandoning all defense and allowing their enemies' attacks to strike them.
Ye Han hadn't blocked the view between the regions, so the brutality of the zombie beasts and undead slaves was visible to all. The Sword Sect and the Dragon Clan's regions were shocked by the savagery.
"How about it, my tools are perfect, aren't they?" Ye Han said, watching their reactions. He made it clear that these creatures were merely his tools for slaughter.
After devouring the bodies of the less than thirty Holy Stages in the two regions, the zombie beasts and undead slaves charged towards the region occupied by the Sword Sect and the Law Sect.
Kapulos turned pale at their approach. "Katie, have your people from the Law Sect cast spells from behind. Those from the Sword Sect, follow me to hold them off." After instructing Katie, the remaining six Sword Sect members drew their weapons, their fighting spirit erupting. Sword radiance several zhang long flickered around them.
Soon, the Sword Sect faced the undead slaves in midair, and a fierce battle ensued. Ye Han watched quietly, impressed by how the six managed to hold off the onslaught of over twenty zombie beasts and undead slaves, leading him to reassess the Sword Sect's strength.
"Truly worthy of being a superpower with a millennium of heritage. Their combat skills and experience are incomparable to those Holy Stages I've faced before," Ye Han observed quietly as he watched the battle between the Sword Sect, the Law Sect, and the zombie beasts.
Kapulos led the charge, his long sword emitting over ten zhang of blue sword light, aiming straight for Ivelin. The other Holy Stages also picked their targets, each facing off against several zombie beasts. At the same time, Katie from the Law Sect and her people rapidly unleashed powerful eighth and ninth-level magic spells.
Ivelin and the other six undead slaves didn't dare to be careless, knowing they were facing late-stage Holy powerhouses from the Sword Sect, one of the strongest on the continent, and supported by the Law Sect.
Ivelin concentrated his fighting spirit into his palm, tearing through the void and slamming down. The space rippled under the onslaught of his ferocious fighting spirit mingled with the stench of blood. His attack met with Kapulos' sword, creating a deafening explosion and slightly shaking the formation. The six undead slaves unleashed their full power, as did the Sword Sect members, not holding anything back.
After the first clash, the Law Sect's magic followed suit. The zombie beasts and undead slaves, though lacking consciousness, still sensed danger and swiftly retreated as the magic descended.
Seeing an opportunity, the Sword Sect didn't hesitate. Their swords blazed anew, charging forward. The six fighters unleashed their full strength, and Ivelin and the other undead slaves wrapped themselves in fighting spirit to withstand the assault.
After several roars, seven or eight zombie beasts exploded, their putrid blood and remains scattering in the air. Ye Han watched the swift turn of events, his expression darkening.
"Useless trash," Ye Han cursed. Although the other zombie beasts narrowly escaped destruction, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the undead slaves also suffered significant injuries. The gap in levels was too vast.
Ye Han immediately ordered all the zombie beasts and undead slaves to retreat from the formation. His hands quickly formed seals, "Thirty-six Thunder Punishments." As his words fell, the "Thirty-Six Grand Yan God Formation" changed dramatically. The formation that had originally separated four areas merged into one, stunning the nine dragons and twelve Holy Stage humans from the Dragon Clan, Sword Sect, and Law Sect. The transformation of the formation was beyond their imagination.
The chaotic gray sky suddenly thundered, filled with arm-thick black lightning bolts rolling across.
With a thunderous boom, a black lightning bolt struck towards the people and the nine dragons.
"Be careful, here it comes!" Kapulos shouted, his face grave. He released his aura and fighting spirit to the maximum, his sword light longer and more fierce than before.
With a loud cry, Kapulos slashed his sword at the descending black lightning bolt.
"Ah!"
"Pfft," Kapulos groaned in pain, blood spurting as he crashed heavily to the ground, his sword knocked away.
Shock and horror filled everyone's faces. Just one strike from the black lightning had severely injured a peak Holy Stage fighter.
"Katie, cast a magical barrier. We can't withstand this kind of lightning attack," Kapulos said after stabilizing his injuries, flying towards the group. He then turned to the Dragon Clan, "Please, Dragon Clan, deploy your barrier as well."
Without hesitation, the largest earth dragon radiated yellow light, forming a massive barrier that enveloped everyone. Katie, along with six magicians, also formed a magical barrier. Two layers of barriers, one yellow and one multicolored, surrounded the group.
"Do you think you can hide like this?" Ye Han's voice was icy cold. He formed another seal, "Thunder Punishment of Ten Thousand Calamities."
As Ye Han's seals were completed, countless black lightning bolts roared towards the barriers from above the formation.
