1069 First Planar War (V)

The faces of the martial artists contorted as this was an irrefutable truth. What they had done was the ultimate form of disrespect to their people, elders, ancestors, and worlds.

"Men, desperate time calls for desperate measures," said Qian Heng, his voice echoing in everybody's mind. "What we have done is a shame that we must bear for the rest of our lives, but remember, we did it out of necessity for survival and because we are weak. We may have wronged the dead, but the living are counting on us.

"So raise your head and face the enemy. Used this shame and anger as fuel to protect the people not burdened by our choices."

"For the people, for the world, for our shame."

"For the people, for the world, for our shame."

"For the people, for the world, for our shame."

They rushed to meet head-on with the origin cultivators, and the formation was instantly activated, isolating everyone into layers. The martial artists were momentarily disoriented until they figured things out. Qian Heng quickly ordered them to change tactics, sending people or legions to different layers.

Tie Gang calmly watched the enemy's response before contacting some people. "Top 15 Heaven Chosens- do not reveal your full strength yet, especially you, Li Jun. Wait for the right time to sweep the Mortal Combatant Layer."

"As you wish," replied Li Jun, and Tie Gang flew to the first layer, which was the most complicated, Although this was the Legion Layer, the commanders of these legions were of different tiers and included many Immortals.

He soon noticed something and frowned, "This might be a problem."

The legions from the Myriad Emperor World were objectively better than those from the Martial Hegemony World. They had better weapons and armor and more variety (Talisman Weapons). They were trained to be a real army or unit, while it was obvious that many of these martial artists' legions were put together very recently. Additionally, martial artists (at least these ones) are more individualistic, making them not prone to working in groups as they favor personal power more.

Lastly, the martial artists were surprised to discover they lost the advantage of a powerful body with high defense and regenerative capabilities. This fact was one of the primary contributing factors in their victory against the Taoists, who were more known for their spiritual practice than their bodies.

However, the origin cultivators tempered their bodies to a high degree, especially with the new Origin System that places heavy emphasis on this. And even if they did not use the new system to its full potential, bathing in constant Innate Qi has nourished and strengthened them.

Their only advantage in this scrimmage was their regenerative ability. With immense life energy, no origin cultivator would be on par with them on healing except for the geniuses. More importantly, they have linked their life energy to help each other heal from injuries; in other words, all their legions are versions of Tie Gang's Undead Legion created from his Innate Ability.

'A lot of them are not in sync, thus affecting the life energy sharing process,' thought Tie Gang. 'But the perfectly in-synch ones are even better than my Undead Legion. The worst part is they do not have one person as the main link; their abilities come from their cultivation system.'

If something happens to Tie Gang, his Undead Legion will drastically weaken. However, the martial artist legions do not have such a weakness.

'We can't use the previous tactic since consciousnesses control the Life Energy, so the formation is useless.'

Tie Gang looked to his left, observing Li Jun's Slaughter Legion led by Jun Menyao had no issue with their enemies as they could [kill] the Life Energy or replace it [Death Qi] to throw them out of balance. However, this tactic only worked the first time since the Martial Hegemony World's cultivators are masters of control of Life and Death Qi.

The situation was similar in one of the Ancient Clan's legions, most likely trained by the Sacred Beast Empress.

Tie Gang ignored the explosions around him, the shouts, the blood, gore, and wailing souls; his mind was only analyzing the battlefield and coming up with the best countermeasure.
