As the earth realm experts left, there were a few minutes of silence as the soldiers and commanders tried to recover from the soul pressure after which, the commanders commanded the soldiers to go back into battle. As most of the major trump cards had all been shown, the battle was truly a free for all as units went against unit and soldier fought against soldiers. The feeling one would get from the battle was primal and animalistic.

"Both sides have reached an impasse and a tie-breaker is needed, why Viscount Carey is not using the nihility drug yet," James mused as he chopped off the head of a peak houtian expert, that he was fighting.

"huff, huff, this is not going well either way, although we have more advanced troops, the law of numbers is still against us" James was puffing with tiredness and this showed the rigorousness of the battle since James energy was very pure which made the amount of energy, he used in performing his techniques very negligible. So even though he was just at the first stage of his cultivation he could last as long as a second stage middle realm cultivator.

James had always been a meticulous person so he had, instead of dividing, the cultivation realms according to their respective names like houtian, xiantian, etc. and refining the body he decided to instead divide it into the first stage, second stage, etc. because. He believed that all those were the same. It was just that the paths they took were different, which made the strength they can harness vary. He also believed there were more paths out there because of the legends of the allfather.

Although in his theory, the allfather could be a native, to him it was more likely that he was an alien whose cultivation culture was more advanced than this worlds, came to this planet for some reason and helped this world start on the path of cultivation, so he believed other world existed because he came from earth, as he was thinking of this saw looked like rocket launchers fly into the air, then exploded whereby a fog soon started spreading through, the battlefield.

"at last they are using the nihility drug, I thought that something must have gone wrong as they have not used this since the battle started, "James said while he sniffed the air "those alchemists really disappoint me, even after all the help that I have provided for them they still couldn't get, the recipe right the product is still volatile."

"Although the people in this world are advanced, in some areas it is only because of the abundance of resources they have, and also the existence of fourth-dimensional energy. They couldn't even do such a simple task, humph eve high school lab assistants could have done this with the kind of instructions I have given to them" James harrumphed with a hint of frustration and anger on his face as this was his first invention, in this world and he didn't like how these people had bungled it and it had made him very angry.

Also because, of the diluted product it would have no effect on xiantian experts, and a houtian peak with a very dense energy pool could shake off the effect and not die but just have his energy disrupted.

"So this is why the empire didn't use my products before, it is not much of a trump card if it will just affect the houtian stage experts and even then it could be shaken off by some, fuck what a bunch of useless idiots this is not good"

A calculating look could be seen in James' eyes. " this will not end well for us, the enemy has a tremendous advantage over us in numbers at the foot soldier level, the disrupting of the energy of the xiantian experts would have evened out the field for us, but now we have lost the advantage, no wonder they didn't use it long ago,".

As he was worried about this, he got distracted, whereby an enemy soldier snuck up on him and almost cut off his head with sneak attack, he then parried the attack and then stab the soldier in-between the eye, through the battle that had been going on for the past few days, he had gotten a feel to advantages of training, his foundational techniques as it gave his fighting style immutability and made even the most simple techniques have myriad changes. As he had understood the basics, of those techniques, so even though he was surprised he could still use a simple stab to kill the attacker.

As soon, as he stabbed the soldier, it seemed a dominos effect had occurred, as most of the houtian, soldiers in the battlefield collapsed. Which led to the collapse of the battle formations, the houtian experts were the frameworks of the formations and the xiantian experts just directed the flow of energy in the formations. So once they collapsed the formations, also collapsed. Pandemonium issued in the snow empire's army as these happened, as the military organization of their army collapsed.

As they scrambled to reorganize themselves, the rain empires commanders, who have been briefed about the time in which, the nihility drug would be deployed immediately organized their army and counter-attacked the snow empire, the carnage which proceeded to happen in the battlefield was horrifying as because of the nihility drug most of the houtian experts were dead, but since they had more xiantian experts and some of their houtian experts also survived, as their back was against the wall, it was about their survival, they exposed their savagery and fought like beast.
