"Gentlemen, today we stand here! We stand before the gateway to the Fourth Difficulty!"
"It has been three full years since the third Great Purge of the Main God Space, and only now has our East Asia Region recovered its vitality. For those three years, we have been bullied by the Europe-America Region!"
"Those foreign devils have defecated upon our heads and committed every evil imaginable, yet we could only swallow our pride and suffer in silence. Why?"
"Only because their Fourth and Fifth Difficulty reincarnators have not yet been wiped out! Taking advantage of the Space's period of weakness, they found the gaps and continuously funneled high-difficulty resources to their side. That is why we have suffered more defeats and lost more lives with every passing day!!!"
"But soon, everything will be different!!!"
"What we are about to face is the Third Difficulty's final boss, the death-dealing obstacle that has sent countless heroes to their graves: the Evil Sword Immortal!"
"This time, we have the most powerful lineup, the most thorough preparations... and the determination to achieve absolute victory!"
"Today, we shall descend upon the peak of Shushan and reclaim the glory of the East Asia Region!"
The booming voice and infectious tone were met with a thunderous, unified roar from the crowd, a momentum that shook the very heavens and earth!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Chinese Paladin 3.
At the peak of Shushan, winds and clouds shift, demons run rampant, and blood stains the heavens and earth.
Some swing their swords to dispel the evil aura, some wield their blades to cleanse the firmament, some rely on their swords to decide the fate of drifting clouds, and others ride their swords to wander free...
Shushan, the world's premier holy land for cultivation, is currently facing a cataclysmic disaster.
The five most venerable elders of the Shushan Sect, in their quest to ascend to immortality, secretly practiced forbidden arts. They expelled their evil thoughts but could not purge them entirely, leaving them no choice but to seal them within the Demon Locking Tower. Unexpectedly, these evil thoughts took form within the tower, becoming a lifeform beyond the Six Realms, and seized the chance to escape.
The incorporeal Evil Sword Immortal became a great scourge, shapeshifting into the likeness of the Shushan elders to wreak havoc everywhere, his ambition swelling as he sought to become the ruler of the world.
Now, the battle that concerns the very survival of Shushan has finally arrived.
Yet, facing the Evil Sword Immortal is not Jingtian and his companions from the game, but a group of nearly a hundred people dressed in strange attire, ranging from men and women to the old and young.
They are reincarnators from the Main God Space.
The Main God Space is a mysterious and unfathomable place, rumored to be a realm created by gods. The reincarnators are the "lucky ones" chosen to enter, wandering on the edge of life and death within worlds based on various games, fighting and killing in an endless cycle.
Though it appears to be a hellish place, many reincarnators view the Main God Space—where any wish can be granted—as a paradise. Without the shackles of morality, they revere the naked law of the jungle: the strong prevail and do as they please. What could be more alluring than opening one's heart and letting one's dreams take flight?
Reincarnators who have tasted these benefits are increasingly unwilling to remain beneath others, especially after climbing to positions others deem unreachable, only to find their own region at a disadvantage, bullied by foreign devils from other lands. Which powerhouse could endure such a feeling?
Thus, this battle was born: the four strongest teams of the East Asia Region and five organizations of top-tier reincarnators joining forces to besiege the Third Difficulty's final boss, the Evil Sword Immortal.
This is destined to be a battle for the ages. Regardless of victory or defeat, its course will surely be passed down within the Main God Space, becoming a topic of endless discussion for all reincarnators.
Suspended in the sky, Shushan is worthy of its reputation as an earthly fairyland. White clouds drift leisurely, distant mountains are lush and green like layers of ink wash, and the breeze brushing against one's face carries the faint, ethereal fragrance of the forest.
But at this moment, this picturesque scene is shrouded in an endless aura of slaughter. To prevent plot characters from interfering and causing unnecessary variables, the reincarnators guided most of the Shushan disciples to hide in the back mountains, while Jingtian and his party were temporarily held up by another crisis, allowing the reincarnators to unleash their full power without restraint!
"Righteous energy, enduring as heaven and earth!"
As a confident and majestic voice echoed from afar, a dazzling barrier rose above Shushan, attempting to block the intrusion of a certain evil existence. Yet, before long, a powerful, vast, and bizarrely evil force crashed against the barrier like a tidal wave. In less than a few minutes, the seemingly unbreakable protective barrier declared its defeat, shattering into pieces!
But by then, all the reincarnators had finished their preparations.
Led by the four teams, the reincarnators stood scattered, each member sharp, capable, and possessing unique strengths. These are the four strongest teams of the East Asia Region—Youman, Blood Slaughter, Dead Soul, and Flying Snow!
As the Evil Sword Immortal descended, waves of evil intent, resentment, deathly force, and corrosive poison swept toward them from the void, all-encompassing and impossible to evade.
Although the reincarnators were mentally prepared, facing such power still made them sweat profusely and tremble involuntarily, their inner depths shrouded by a massive shadow.
This situation was extremely disadvantageous for the coming battle. All the reincarnators immediately slapped their waists, and talismans flew into the air, emitting a soft white light that swept away the negative mana transmitted through the air.
For this battle, they had prepared ten dozen talismans for warding off evil alone, not to mention the other myriad strange skills and items!
Though the Evil Sword Immortal's opening intimidation was fierce, those standing here were the elite of the elite among reincarnators; naturally, they would not settle for passive defense. The Dead Soul Team moved first!
Lin Feng, captain of the Dead Soul Team, is the strongest in the magic system. Born in China as a person of mixed heritage, he initially made a name for himself in the Europe-America Region. He obtained part of the Necromancer inheritance in the Diablo world, fusing it with the Corpse Soul Arts from the Heaven-Earth Tribulation world to run rampant across the land.
He is obsessively fascinated by Chinese culture, having abandoned his original English name to adopt Lin Feng, clearly determined to integrate into the East Asia Region. Given the current confrontation between the two major regions, the reincarnators of the East Asia Region hold him in high regard.
The Dead Soul Team lives up to its name; all ten members have studied this field. But at this moment, they did not summon corpses or spirits. Instead, they joined forces to manifest a pitch-black cloak. The edges of the cloak were inscribed with the English word "Rathma," representing its original owner: Rathma, the progenitor of the Necromancers in the Diablo world and the person Lin Feng admires most.
The cloak appeared ordinary, showing nothing unusual, but every member of the Dead Soul Team wore a grave expression, with fine beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. Behind Lin Feng, a pale-skinned, black-haired man appeared, also wearing a cloak.
The man raised his head and smiled slightly, but strangely, his face remained expressionless while the cloak fluttered. To the onlookers, it felt as if the cloak were displaying expressions on behalf of its master—a creepiness that chilled the bone.
But clearly, the cloak's function was not merely an expression transmitter. The Dead Soul Team exhausted their strength to summon it precisely to sever one of the Evil Sword Immortal's greatest assets: his domain power that absorbs evil thoughts.
The Evil Sword Immortal is the embodiment of evil thoughts; all wicked desires are the source of his immense power, providing him with a constant supply of energy and greatly increasing his combat endurance.
The Cape of Rathma is of an extremely high grade. Once manifested, it began to contend with the Evil Sword Immortal for the negative energy drifting between heaven and earth. Although it could not completely eliminate the Evil Sword Immortal's innate instincts, it had already significantly neutralized them.
The Evil Sword Immortal in mid-air seemed to sense something and let out a surprised sound before finally revealing himself to the crowd.
To call it a manifestation is to be generous; in reality, it was merely a figure of shifting substance, roughly resembling the appearance of the Shushan Sect Leader, Qing Wei.
This is the Evil Sword Immortal's usual form—a phantom manifestation, not his combat form. Clearly, despite the large number of reincarnators before him, he did not take them seriously, viewing them as mere rabble to be wiped out with a casual wave of his sword.
However, those who underestimate reincarnators burdened with various strange arts and techniques always meet a tragic end. Although the Evil Sword Immortal's strength is immense, it is far from being invincible in the world, and his weaknesses remain glaringly obvious.
Just as now, seeing the Dead Soul Team display their might, another powerhouse team refused to be outdone and launched a fierce assault.
The captain of this squad was a woman of peerless beauty, bearing the title of the most beautiful woman in the East Asia Region and the strongest practitioner of the cultivation system: Yao Xue!
Yao Xue was as her name suggested; her skin was whiter than snow, her beauty was exquisite and breathtaking, and her appearance was so stunning it was difficult to look directly at. Furthermore, she possessed an extremely high talent for spellcraft, having delved into the Five Spirits Immortal Arts from Chinese Paladin, the Five Elements Arts from The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, and the Divine Ritual Arts from Heaven and Earth Tribulation. By absorbing the strengths of many schools, she possessed the demeanor of a true master of arts.
Facing the Evil Sword Immortal at this moment, golden light erupted from her entire body. Her curvaceous figure floated halfway in the air as incantations and hand seals flowed from her lips, each word and syllable shaking the surrounding spiritual atmosphere:
"Welcome the light of the seven glows, illuminate the heavenly brilliance... Golden wheels reflect the radiance, shattering the nether and chasing away the darkness..."
Equipped with top-tier gear that shortened spell-chanting time, Yao Xue's casting time had been compressed to the limit. Almost instantly, the sky above Shushan erupted with intense light, as if a powerful and holy force was gathering and brewing.
The Evil Sword Immortal narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see streaks of golden light shooting down like the dawn of creation. That sensation caused a wave of irritation and disgust to rise within him, accompanied by a faint, imperceptible trace of fear.
The Evil Sword Immortal let out a cold snort. Without making any visible movement, his figure vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yao Xue, his fingers pointed like a sword, thrusting straight toward her chest. The near-teleportation speed caused the pupils of most reincarnators to constrict and their breathing to hitch.
But since Yao Xue dared to unleash such a targeted ultimate move, how could she be without precautions?
No matter how fast the Evil Sword Immortal's attack was, the other members of the Flying Snow Team had already layered several defenses upon their captain in advance. Power Word: Shield, Magic Shield, Shield of No Light, Earth Defense Array, True Essence Body Protection—with seven or eight defensive skills stacked on, she was truly an impenetrable fortress, capable of absorbing even the strongest of attacks.
After the Evil Sword Immortal broke through four layers of defense, including the Power Word: Shield, with unstoppable force, he did indeed pause. However, having fused the evil thoughts of the Five Elders and countless negative energies from heaven and earth, his combat experience was incredibly rich. Seeing that Yao Xue was prepared, he immediately shifted his target, unleashing an Evil Spirit Ejection toward the other members of the Flying Snow Team.
The body of the Evil Sword Immortal was composed of countless evil spirits. If these ejected spirits surged into the bodies of normal cultivators, they would erode their primordial spirits, destroy their cultivation, and incite the evil thoughts hidden deep within their hearts, allowing him to control their minds.
Therefore, although the countless evil spirits surged forth like a sky full of stars or a river of constellations—appearing extremely beautiful—all members of the Flying Snow Team avoided them at all costs. With pained expressions, they pulled out the talismans they usually relied on for life-saving, blocking the erosion of the evil spirits.
At this moment, the Evil Sword Immortal no longer resembled the hypocritical image of Qing Wei. Instead, he had transformed into an evil monster with wild, disheveled hair and no lower body—this was the Evil Sword Immortal's Combat Form I!
An aura of evil, antiquity, darkness, and decay radiated from the Evil Sword Immortal's body. The Cape of Rathma fell into an absolute disadvantage almost instantly. Seeing this, Lin Feng simply expanded the influence of the cape, no longer clashing head-on but instead shrouding all the reincarnators to reduce the impact of the evil domain on their side.
The other members of the Flying Snow Team utilized their precious Substitute Dolls and Object Substitution Talismans to withstand the Evil Sword Immortal's fierce offensive, buying precious time for Yao Xue.
"...Gathering of Thousand Saintly Heavens!!!" As the final syllable of the incantation fell, the countless golden lights in the sky merged into one. Carrying the supreme majesty of the Radiant Sun Holy Brilliance from the nine heavens, it bombarded the Evil Sword Immortal with overwhelming momentum.
This move, "Radiant Sun Holy Brilliance," was quite famous in the Heaven and Earth Tribulation series. It was one of the powerful spells within the Heavenly Brilliance Divine Ritual Arts. Its power gathered the light of the firmament, concentrated through the formation of the Two Forms, to shatter the nether, chase away the darkness, and annihilate the demonic path—it was exactly the kind of spell that evil entities like the Evil Sword Immortal feared most.
Moreover, Yao Xue's control over this technique was also at the pinnacle. The previous ripples of the spell had only made the Evil Sword Immortal feel a slight threat, but now that it was officially unleashed, it carried the majesty of the heavens. The Evil Sword Immortal, as the target, suddenly felt his vision darken, as if everything around him had vanished, leaving only that radiant holy light, covering the sky and earth as it descended upon him. He felt an irresistible sense of doom.
A grave look appeared in the Evil Sword Immortal's eyes, yet there was not a hint of panic in his expression. It is said that water and fire are incompatible, and light and darkness oppose each other; however, water can extinguish fire, and fire can consume water; light can dispel darkness, and darkness can devour light. It is clear that as long as one side's energy far exceeds the other, there is no need to worry about the theory of opposition—breaking it with raw power is the true path.
The Evil Sword Immortal was the accumulation of all the world's evil. No matter how high the level of Yao Xue's spell was, at most it could only gather the light-element energy of the Shushan area; in terms of sheer quantity, it could not compete with him. What was there to worry about?
Under normal circumstances, this would be true. But with the four major powerhouse teams of the East Asia Region gathered here, each performing their duties, the Flying Snow Team's main task was to handle the Evil Sword Immortal in Combat Form I. How could they possibly invite this Tier 3 boss with only a single "Radiant Sun Holy Brilliance"?
In Combat Form I, the Evil Sword Immortal was equivalent to an energy entity composed of countless tiny evil thoughts, which was why he could freely cast the skill Evil Spirit Ejection.
In this state, as long as the evil spirits were continuously consumed, the Evil Sword Immortal's energy would grow weaker. This method was simple and straightforward, but it required a great deal of time and energy, making it impossible to cope with the subsequent stages.
Having absorbed the experience provided by reincarnators who had survived past challenges against the Evil Sword Immortal, the five experts from the four powerhouse teams prepared to take a different path: striking directly at the Evil Sword Immortal's evil spirit core. Although this method was much more difficult, if successful, it would definitely save a large amount of time and consumables, increasing the chances of killing the boss.
Yao Xue's "Radiant Sun Holy Brilliance" was merely the vanguard to pave the way. As expected, the Evil Sword Immortal was dragged into a stalemate of attrition. His body was scorched full of holes by the pillar of holy light, and countless black dots appeared, constantly being melted and dissolved. But soon, more black dots drifted out; they were simply endless.
"Now!" Seeing this scene, Yao Xue was pleasantly surprised and let out a sharp cry. A team member behind her immediately took out a cerulean orb and held it high above her head. A spatial ripple arrived, and a blue monster with strange stripes on its face tore through space and stood before everyone.
The Scourge hero from the Dota world—Faceless Void!
As soon as Faceless Void appeared, he used Time Walk to teleport to the side of the Evil Sword Immortal. Then, a brilliant azure light erupted from his body, and waves of silver-blue spacetime energy formed a massive light dome. In an instant, everything around the Evil Sword Immortal seemed to be frozen and stilled; even the sunlight chose to submit within the powerful and mysterious Chronosphere.
Both friend and foe within the Chronosphere were unable to make any moves, and only Faceless Void could act freely. Strangely, however, the reincarnator who summoned him controlled Faceless Void to step aside, not taking the opportunity to attack.
It seemed like a wasted opportunity, but in reality, it was not. This Chronosphere was not meant for attacking, but to create a brief moment of identification for another member of the Flying Snow Team to locate the Evil Sword Immortal's current evil spirit core.
But the Chronosphere could only be maintained for a maximum of 6 seconds—too short, so short that even someone with the most meticulous observation skills could not find that unique evil spirit core among thousands of black dots. Thus, this Flying Snow team member had to use another auxiliary means—a Materia from the Final Fantasy world!
A silver-green Time Materia rose from the top of her head, and instantly, a clock face that looked out of place with the surrounding time appeared beneath her feet, rotating in a unique rhythm.
The Materia spun violently. Such excessive use would turn it into a one-time item, but facing the Evil Sword Immortal, no one would be stingy with their props.
With the help of the magical time spell, the female member of the Flying Snow Team finally lived up to expectations. In the last second before the Chronosphere vanished, she narrowly marked the location of the core for another teammate in the team channel.
Thus, without a moment's pause, just as the Evil Sword Immortal broke free from the Chronosphere and had not yet fully understood what had just happened, he saw another holy and powerful force rise among those seemingly weak enemies.
"Weak and stubborn humans, you still won't give up?" The Evil Sword Immortal sighed inwardly, bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to counterattack, circles of arrays engraved with runes were erected in the surrounding void.
"Oh Aidios, who wields the Septium Crystal, the source of all things... please use your fantastical brilliance to repel the threat attacking us... Oh light that entwines my body, quickly build that exorcism array!!!"
Holy Star Vortex, the S-rank ultimate technique of the plot-heavy character Kloe from the Trails in the Sky world. With a compassionate and pious heart, one prays to Aidios, who wields the Septium Crystal, the source of all things, to shine with fantastical brilliance and, using the light of the body, build an exorcism array around the enemy, dealing a devastating blow.
This move not only dealt double damage to evil-type enemies, but because of the high judgment level of the S-rank ultimate technique, it also had the miraculous effect of being instantaneous, ignoring the actions of both friend and foe.
In an instant, a sense of fatal threat surged into his heart, but the Evil Sword Immortal could only watch helplessly as the pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth shot toward an inconspicuous black dot within his body. There resided his original evil-thought primordial spirit—the core of all cores.
"NO!!!"
"It's done!"
The completely different reactions of friend and foe showed the effect of this strike. As a massive critical damage number appeared above the Evil Sword Immortal's head, the HP of Combat Form I was drained to the bottom.
The coordination of four skills from different worlds produced an astonishing effect, successfully eliminating the Evil Sword Immortal's first form in just half a minute!
Among the nearly one hundred reincarnators present, only the Flying Snow Team had suffered significant losses; the other three powerhouse teams were well-rested and at full strength. It could be said that this boss fight had gotten off to a great start!
"You... have angered me!!!" The Evil Sword Immortal, whose core had been destroyed, was severely injured. Evil thoughts filled the sky, but he could not gather them. However, this state did not last long before five massive clusters of evil thoughts suddenly appeared, instantly aggregating into the shapes of five elders, floating in mid-air.
The Evil Sword Immortal's second combat form: the evil thoughts of the Five Elders of Shushan. With all five bosses appearing at once, this was the stage that tested the reincarnators' coordination the most.
But just as the five gloomy Shushan elders appeared, the Ghost Savage Team and the Blood Slaughter Team acted simultaneously.
The Ghost Savage Team dispatched a white-haired woman with her eyes closed. She drifted into the arena, and without attacking the enemy, she first plunged a sharp short blade into her own heart. As blood splattered, her eyes suddenly opened. Where her gaze fell, it transformed into a sea of nether blood, and a flush of unnatural crimson appeared on her pale, cold face as she softly spat out four words:
"Extinguishing Sword: Blood Haze!"
This was the peerless killing move of Bing Li, the sword envoy from the Fantasy Chronicle of the Ghost City world. She condensed the Ice Soul Desolate Spirit within her body to manifest countless cold, phantom-like shadows to annihilate her enemies. Upon activation, blood-red energy erupted from her entire body, and if she were already wounded, the power would surge even further!
As thousands of female phantoms transformed their bodies into swords, a thick scent of blood flooded the air. The baleful aura of a malevolent star descending from the heavens onto the mortal realm mingled with the boundless, mesmerizing beauty of the dancing figures, leaving one unsure whether to be intoxicated or terrified.
The Five Elders of Shushan were submerged in the desolate, murderous aura of the Extinguishing Sword: Blood Haze before they could even steady their footing. Their health bars plummeted instantly. Meanwhile, the one deployed by the Blood Slaughter Team was none other than their captain, Tu Qianli, the strongest powerhouse of the technological system!
This man had made his name in the Fatal Force world. After obtaining the inheritance of the plot character War Slave, he had conspired with his companions to kill the War Slave, excavating the modified flesh the organization had implanted within the slave's body and fusing it into his own. This granted him the War Slave's innate talent for mastering any weapon!
Later, in the StarCraft world, Tu Qianli acquired Terran technology from the future, truly setting foot on the path of the strong.
He was a man devoid of emotion or loyalty, ruthless to the extreme. His original name was long forgotten, but it was said that in one plot world, in order to search for a mission item, he had carpet-bombed a thousand-mile radius with high-tech weaponry, leaving the land desolate and its inhabitants slaughtered. From then on, his infamous moniker spread, and the Blood Slaughter Team became one of the entities that no one dared to provoke.
Tu Qianli strode forward, a bloodthirsty grin plastered across his fleshy face. With a shake of his arms, over a dozen guns and cannons of varying sizes manifested—a scene reminiscent of a shot from the movie The Mask. However, Tu Qianli was not there for comedy. The firepower erupted instantly, whipping up a violent metal storm that rained down upon the Five Elders of Shushan like a torrential downpour.
Compared to the white-haired woman's Extinguishing Sword: Blood Haze, Tu Qianli's attacks appeared far more plain and unadorned. Yet, judging by the rapid depletion of the Five Elders' health, his damage output was absolutely not inferior to the former.
Moreover, with Tu Qianli's arm strength, he could withstand the massive recoil of his weapons for a full five minutes; his total damage would undoubtedly far exceed that of the Extinguishing Sword: Blood Haze.
Of course, the Five Elders of Shushan would not simply allow them to output damage to their hearts' content. Formed from condensed evil thoughts, they felt no pain and possessed no emotional weaknesses. Even as black clouds of energy splattered from their bodies, they continued to control their swords and attack without the slightest hesitation.
The Shushan Sect was also known as the Shushan Sword Sect; the name alone was enough to reveal how exquisite and peerless their sword-control techniques were. Once the Five Elders of Shushan officially launched their assault, the members of the four elite teams finally let out a shout and charged toward their targets according to their prior plans.
For a time, the battle reached a white-hot intensity. Evil Sword Immortal, the third-difficulty gatekeeper boss, finally displayed the demeanor of a lethal roadblock. Blood splattered everywhere, screams echoed incessantly, and the reincarnators who had previously been moving with ease began to suffer casualties!
At this moment, the two strongest reincarnators in the East Asia Region had officially joined the fray.
Lan Tianhong, captain of the Ghost Savage Team and the strongest of the ancient martial arts system, stood with muscles knotted and an aura of overwhelming heroism. He held a rusted iron sword, executing the peerless sword techniques inherited from Yan Nantian, the world's greatest swordsman from the Handsome Siblings world. With just his single sword, he held off one of the Shushan Elders single-handedly.
Among the five great powerhouses, aside from the captains of the four teams, the remaining individual was the solitary wanderer, Su Moyan.
He was the only reincarnator among the top experts who dual-cultivated two systems, combining ancient martial arts and cultivation into one. His strength was unfathomable!
Su Moyan was a man of great tact and social grace, maintaining harmonious relationships with all four elite teams. Because of his combat style, he did not face a Shushan Elder alone like Lan Tianhong. Instead, he drifted among the crowd, often resolving a fatal threat to a reincarnator with an inadvertent strike, leaving the other party deeply grateful.
However, even with Su Moyan's assistance, the lights of return scrolls, hearthstones, and Spirit Vein Abyss portals flickered constantly. Every reincarnator knew the peril of the battle against Evil Sword Immortal, so everyone was equipped with items that could instantly withdraw them from combat and return them to the Main God Space. As long as they weren't killed in one hit, they wouldn't fall on the spot!
"I am an immortal formed from evil thoughts; I cannot be defeated!" Having paid the price of forcing over a dozen reincarnators to retreat, the Five Elders of Shushan finally fell one by one.
The continuous damage caused Evil Sword Immortal to become hysterical. Without hesitation, he released his most powerful Evil Spirit True Form, entering his third combat stage—the final and most difficult form!
The final form of Evil Sword Immortal possessed only two skills: Evil Sword Slash and Evil Spirit Covering Heaven!
Yet, these two skills were the eternal pain in the hearts of the reincarnators. Evil Sword Slash was unleashed by the Evil Sword, a fusion of the Demon Suppressing Sword and the Demon Sword. Its power was so immense that, apart from Lan Tianhong, no one could survive three rounds under it.
Evil Spirit Covering Heaven was an even more unsolvable move. It was triggered every time his health dropped by 20%, targeting the ten reincarnators closest to him, inciting the evil thoughts within their hearts and bringing them under the control of Evil Sword Immortal.
Once this move was unleashed, comrades who had been fighting side-by-side would instantly turn against each other. The resulting gap in strength was one thing, but it was also a devastating blow to morale.
Regarding Evil Spirit Covering Heaven, the reincarnators had once thought of many bizarre methods, but none had succeeded. This was because every reincarnator participating in the battle against Evil Sword Immortal had to be the elite of the elite; there was no room for those just making up the numbers. Furthermore, evil thoughts were the one thing reincarnators lacked the least. In fact, even in the cities of peaceful eras, deceit and infighting were everywhere, let alone among reincarnators who lived by the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed upon the weak.
Finally, a person no one expected proposed a strategy that was extremely secure yet exceptionally vicious. After some debate, it was adopted by the group, and now was the moment for implementation.
"Puppeteer, get ready! First batch of laborers, charge! Success or failure rests on this single move!"
