Of the Book of the Dead's three abilities, only "Undeath" was actually used for combat. In fact, one could even say that the Book of the Dead was not meant for battlefield slaughter at all.
But with the Necromancer Cult's thousand-year history behind it, the Book of the Dead had leaped to become the most fearsome killing weapon in existence. Only the Holy Sword Huiyao could barely suppress it.
The reason was the ability "Death into Lantern"! Not only did it allow its wielder to grow infinitely stronger, it also prepared a mobile military camp for them. As long as the wielder was willing, the army of undead within the Book of the Dead could descend upon the world.
And how many undead were in the Book of the Dead?
According to the data provided by Ming Jiejin, the Western Continent currently consumed one and a half million undead every year. Since there were more undead in modern times than in ancient times, let's take the remainder as five hundred thousand. Over two thousand years, that still amounted to one hundred million undead... in other words, one billion undead—and that was already a conservative estimate.
One billion undead... one billion undead!
Although they were consumables, although they could not be restored once used, although... that was still one billion warriors who feared neither life nor death!
That was the fundamental confidence behind Ming Jiejin's daring to enter Radiance alone: he was not merely an army unto himself. He was even a nation unto himself! No army under heaven could stand against Ming Jiejin, and no martial artist could contend with him!
If Ming Jiejin exhausted his entire foundation to summon one billion undead, he could flatten Flame Capital in fifteen minutes!
Unless one used the Holy Sword Huiyao, no one
