That was right. Even though the number of Nine Nether Nether Soldiers proficient in multiple Impact Arrows kept growing, their mastery of archery could never match Chi Xue and the others'. It wasn't merely because Chi Xue and his companions were generally at a higher cultivation level. More importantly, most of them had mastered Divine Yuan Power of various attributes, which allowed them to wield Explosive Impact Arrows. That alone put them beyond the reach of the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, who had mastered only Death Nether Qi. This also meant they could never use Explosive Impact Arrows.

As long as Chi Xue and his companions retained their considerable advantage in archery, they could use it to suppress the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers and inflict casualties before the battle even began in earnest. This would be especially true with the formations laid out by Ling Tian's Clone and the others. Over the years, Ling Tian's Clone and the other cultivators had set up more than twenty formations. With those formations, the many Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, and the support of Little White and the other Bone Soul Extremes, Chi Xue and his companions were confident they could kill or capture a large number of Nine Nether Nether Soldiers before all the formations were destroyed—including those capable of laying out the Buddha Kingdom World.
