Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 453: The Eve of the Great Battle

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: The Eve of the Great Battle

Cover the entire mountain?

What does that mean?

Liu Daming was somewhat bewildered, and the disciples of the opera troupe behind him were also baffled.

Lu Ran understood the hint, nodded, looked at Liu Daming, and said, “If you need more people, I have plenty too.”

Or to be precise, not people, but undead!

In terms of numbers, we’ve never lost!

With that said.

Lu Ran waved his hand casually.

The pet panel opened directly, and Lu Ran unleashed a large number of undead creatures.

Skeleton Soldiers, ancient golems, Skeleton Tyrant, Abyss Bone Dragon, and Banshee…

Countless undead creatures scattered densely, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire mountain!

But this was just a mere fraction of Lu Ran’s undead army!

Liu Daming and the others were dumbfounded.

What is this?

Earlier, those monsters like the Abyss Bone Dragon were thought to be Lu Ran’s strongest summoned items.

But unexpectedly.

Lu Ran had an entire mountain of such summoned items!

Liu Daming felt his scalp tingle as he recalled how he tried to challenge Lu Ran, underestimating his strength.

Now it seems.

In front of Lu Ran, he, Liu Daming, was just a small ant!

“You… you this… these…” Liu Daming stammered, struggling to speak coherently.

Cen Yunuo, standing by, astonishingly added, “Lu Ran’s primary profession is an Undead Mage, and these are all undead creatures summoned by him, and there are even more like these. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Gulp~

Liu Daming and the others swallowed hard.

These are just a small portion of the undead creatures Lu Ran can summon?

Liu Daming’s face suddenly turned bright red.

With this, there’s more than enough to oppose the entire Buddhist order!

Lu Ran’s previous words weren’t boasting or bragging; he truly had the capability!

Gathering Taoist disciples to go to Sumeru Mountain wasn’t about sacrificing the Taoist Sect, but truly to let them witness the downfall of Buddhism and the rise of the Taoist Sect!

There was no need for them to take action at all!

“I was ignorant. It seems, when the Taoist Sect allied to send you away, Lu Ran, you were the ultimate solution. When shall we head to Sumeru Mountain?” Liu Daming asked.

“In three days, no, to be precise, in two days, we’ll head to Sumeru Mountain. In these two days, I’ll gather as many Taoist factions as possible,” Lu Ran responded.

The real purpose, of course, was to complete the task and earn rewards by then.

But Liu Daming had no idea about these.

Instead, in Liu Daming’s eyes, even though Lu Ran had the ability to single-handedly resolve the Buddhist order, he chose to painstakingly gather various Taoist factions to let them witness it firsthand.

To be honest, Liu Daming was moved to tears.

“Good, good, good!” Liu Daming exclaimed three times.

He had a lot to say, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

At the same time.

Cen Yunuo reminded, “Class Leader Liu, you mentioned earlier that you could contact several Taoist factions, so we’ll rely on you for that. It will speed up the process.”

“Okay, I’ll get in touch right away!” Liu Daming immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, Liu Daming indeed had a strong mobilization ability.

A few hours later, seven Taoist factions had gathered at Liu Daming’s opera house.

Lu Ran was very satisfied.

He didn’t even bother to verify which Taoist factions they exactly were.

Anyway, once the rewards were obtained, Lu Ran would know everything.

And by then.

Lu Ran would become the foremost figure in the Taoist Sect!

A single person leading the entire Taoist Sect!

“The Taoist Sect is Longxia’s true native force. It’s a pity that, unlike Japan, the Daoist profession was never used as the primary profession to awaken the professionals; it’s quite regrettable,” Lu Ran lamented.

Otherwise, with the number of professionals in Longxia.

If the Daoist profession could awaken, gathering the national number of Daoists would absolutely be a formidable force!

Unfortunately…

If that were truly the case, the so-called Buddhism would be nothing at all.

Of course.

The premise is giving these Daoists enough time to develop.

Otherwise, even the first-tier group couldn’t stand against those Buddhist experts at Sumeru Mountain.

The level suppression is still too overwhelming.

As it stands, including Cen Yunuo’s Daluo Palace, Zhai Xiaoying’s Teng Mountain faction, Fire Virtue Sect, and Liaodong Celestial Gang.

Now Lu Ran had gathered eleven factions!

Of course.

Liaodong Celestial Gang and Fire Virtue Sect had already been rewarded, so they could be temporarily excluded.

The other Taoist factions must also be dealt with quickly!

Additionally.

For convenience in handling affairs and increasing persuasion, Lu Ran brought along influential figures from these Taoist factions.

This indeed was relatively troublesome, given the large number of people.

But since he needed to bring Cen Yunuo along, Lu Ran couldn’t transport himself all over the world alone.

If he’s bringing Cen Yunuo, might as well bring others too; the time difference isn’t significant.

However, bringing these people made it much easier to persuade other Taoist factions!

After all.

Lu Ran didn’t want to waste time showcasing his abilities every time he contacted a faction.

That was too bothersome.

Thus, the progress was much faster than Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo anticipated.

By dusk the following day, Lu Ran had gathered all the Taoist disciples!

Within the Celestial Path Alliance.

Members of various factions were gathered here; some had many, while others had so few only a single seedling remained.

But fortunately, all factions managed to convene.

There truly wasn’t a single one that had perished completely.

While it seemed coincidental and fortunate, Lu Ran felt it resembled part of a greater design.

Though unaware of why the rules had been connected even before being digitized.

He didn’t dwell much on it.

With all factions now united.

The thirty-six Taoist factions assembled, fully packed.

Many had lost their Tao lineage.

But that was irrelevant.

Lu Ran was most curious and skeptical.

Whether his task process was adequate to earn so many Tao lineage rewards.

Meanwhile.

Across the country.

In the upgraded undeveloped maps, Buddhist members began gathering en masse, heading to Sumeru Mountain!

The total number of Buddhist people was overwhelming.

Liu Daming’s earlier concerns weren’t unfounded.

Altogether, the gathered Taoist Sect, comprising the thirty-six factions, didn’t even reach a thousand people.

But Buddhism.

Especially the Four Great Secret Sects, any one of them could easily muster thousands!

Adding up all of Buddhism’s Seven Zen Observation Gates, the Four Great Secret Sects, and Sumeru Mountain, there were tens of thousands!

The gap between Taoist and Buddhist numbers was vast!

Moreover.

Crucially, at Sumeru Mountain, stood the Holy Monks with the highest cultivation from the Seven Zen Observation Gates and the Four Great Secret Sects!

That was the core strength of Buddhism!

Powerful enough to sweep through the entire Taoist Sect!

“Fortunately, the Taoist Sect scattered these years, otherwise Buddhism’s elimination would have been too easy,” Lu Ran muttered with relief.

Then announced to everyone:

“Rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, at Sumeru Mountain, it’s time to settle the score between Buddhism and the Taoist Sect!”
