It was a slow and gradual process but the Immortal End Alliance forces eventually gained the upper hand as more and more people in black robes fell.
Although the soldiers from the underworld were thrown into the current situation with no warning, none of them felt a trace of fear.
After all, they were refined through corpses and therefore had no feelings at all. All they knew was to mechanically carry out their missions with no regard for anything else.
No panic went through among the corpse soldiers and none of them retreated because of their lack of fear. All the advanced cultivators from the underworld and ordinary corpse soldiers fought side by side until they were slaughtered and smashed into pieces.
The battle was brutally fierce and although the Immortal End Alliance had the upper hand, they still suffered great casualties. There was enough blood to fill an ocean and enough bodies to build a mountain of corpses.
It was only after the last corpse had fallen that they could declare that the battle was over.
All the warriors of the underworld were thoroughly killed!
A deafening silence was the reply to the brutal roar of war earlier.
Hearts still thundered behind the ribs of all the members of the Immortal End Alliance, including Austin. Their eyes surveyed their environment like they were cornered animals that stunk of fear.
Even the Eight Stone Saints, the Evil Shadow King, Damon, and the other cultivators who were at the sect ancestor level were seriously injured.
Thanks to the swift action and assistance of Austin and his demonic avatar during the battle, most advanced cultivators weren't greatly wounded.
If they hadn't, some of the sect ancestor cultivators on their side would have died.
It didn't take them long to count who remained and they were hit by the realization that millions of the Immortal End Alliance people died in the battle!
Intense grief enveloped those who managed to survive.
"Clean up the battlefield and have a good rest. Three days later, we will bring an army to the underworld and extinguish our enemies!
They would never stop hunting us down until we're all dead. The whole universe is in chaos now and we can no longer avoid this disaster."
Austin's voice was calm as he spoke slowly to his people.
"Yes, sir!"
All the remaining cultivators of the Immortal End Alliance fixed their gaze on Austin as they replied as one. Their united voice echoed for one long moment in the bloodied battlefield.
No one would doubt Austin's order for he was the absolute core leader of the Immortal End Alliance. All his orders were strictly followed.
Moreover, everyone knew that Austin's words were the right course of action.
The underworld had stirred up the universe with the corpse disaster and peace was now all but a pipe dream. No one would ever find peace nor regain their normal life until the source of their problems was thoroughly destroyed.
"There would inevitably a large number of casualties in the war against our enemies from the underworld.
We could try but it's impossible to avoid it.
Besides, if the Immortal End Alliance wants to rise in the universe as a major force, it must take the responsibilities of a great power in the universe.
This will also be a good opportunity for our cultivators to strengthen their abilities and gain fighting experience.
If we take this opportunity and do our best, we'll truly be able to rise up in the universe as the most powerful alliance sooner rather than later."
Austin was filled with confidence as he met the eyes of the gathered crowd.
All the cultivators of the Immortal End Alliance stared back at Austin with barely concealed excitement on their faces. Their gazes were sparkling in delight at his words.
At that moment, Austin set the goal for the Immortal End Alliance —become the biggest power in the universe!
The army returned to their world and rested for the upcoming battle.
Due to the chaotic environment in the universe, all the living beings in the Immortal End World began to improve their strength in martial arts with increased fervor.
Caroline, Ivy, Sue, Violet, the gnome, Evan, Herbert, and the others went into seclusion to focus on their cultivation. All of them were well prepared to meet their breakthroughs.
Austin returned to the time chamber and began cultivating as well.
Thirty years in the time chamber equaled to a day outside.
The army of the Immortal End Alliance would set out for the battle in three days.
The three days was long enough for Austin to have a profound cultivation in seclusion.
Austin first cultivated the skill recorded in the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation while he was in the time chamber.
