Well, it's time to end

On the battlefield of Tianxuan Sect.

The formations of the [Tianxuan Array Master] were devastatingly powerful.

Yet Lu Ze's elite troops always managed to narrowly evade them at the last moment!

"How is this possible!?"

Guo Yunwen roared in disbelief.

He had never imagined that formation attacks could actually be dodged!

And to simultaneously control so many units while still having the focus to evade attacks?

Just how terrifyingly precise must his control and concentration be?

Filled with resentment,

he could only watch helplessly as Lu Ze's forces gradually encroached upon his backline.

......

On the battlefield of Cloud Immortal Palace.

Even with the [Shadow Veil] buff, the demonic soldiers couldn't match the mobility of the [Cloud Immortal Saintess].

The [Cloud Immortal Saintess] was a formidable unit specialized in countering human cultivators.

Li Yuluo had recruited three of them, sending them charging toward Lu Ze's backline.

Their basic attacks had splash damage—a single strike could tear open a gap in the rear defenses!

But at that moment,

the demonic Blood Curse Masters scattered in all directions as if each had gained sentience!

They refused to give the [Cloud Immortal Saintess] any chance to deal AoE damage!

Li Yuluo froze.

She tried to maneuver the [Cloud Immortal Saintess] to pursue again,

when suddenly, the frontline Blood Puppets retreated to defend.

Four of them surrounded each [Cloud Immortal Saintess], boxing them in completely.

Li Yuluo paled. "How did he pull this off!?"

The [Cloud Immortal Saintess]'s greatest strength—their mobility—was utterly neutralized by the relentless encirclement.

A barrage of attacks from the Blood Curse Masters rained down upon them...

......

On the battlefield of Lingxiao Sect.

Rhinoceros-type spirit beasts were cost-efficient elites, whether in the righteous or demonic factions.

High mobility, ranged attacks, and solid damage output.

"There's no way you can beat me!"

Zhang Shifei sneered at Lu Ze's Shadow Rhinoceroses.

His Blazing Rhinoceroses had attribute bonuses from the [Blacksmith]—they could never lose to mere Shadow Rhinoceroses!

He launched an aggressive assault.

Lu Ze's Shadow Rhinoceroses fought while retreating.

"Kill it, just kill it already—Damn it! How did it slip to the back!?"

Zhang Shifei fumed.

He clearly held the advantage.

Yet every time he was about to finish off one of the wounded Shadow Rhinoceroses, Lu Ze executed a clever formation shift, allowing the injured unit to escape unscathed.

Meanwhile, on his side,

Blazing Rhinoceroses fell one after another...

......

......

The more Zhong Yi commentated, the more he felt like he understood nothing about Immortal Realm Domination.

Lu Ze's maneuvers defied all conventional wisdom!

He couldn't comprehend what was happening—only that Lu Ze's units lost health at a glacial pace,

while others' troops died almost instantly upon engagement.

As far as he knew, the demonic [Shadow Veil] buff wasn't nearly potent enough to explain this.

So there was only one answer—

Lu Ze was outright outplaying the other elite disciples through sheer skill!

He quickly channeled spiritual energy to adjust the observation lens.

A projection of Lu Ze in the command room appeared in the sky.

His fingers danced through the air at blinding speed.

Every tap left a faint golden sigil shimmering at his fingertips.

Using both hands, he cycled through battlefields in rapid succession—

sometimes covering three fronts in a single second, all while replenishing troops from the [Demon Nest].

Zhong Yi sucked in a sharp breath.

If not for his unobstructed cultivation realm outside the illusion, he wouldn't even be able to track Lu Ze's actions!

In Lu Ze's previous life, games tracked APM (actions per minute).

Had such a metric existed here, everyone would've seen an insane four-digit number flashing across the screen!

At certain moments, Lu Ze's hand speed reached an absurd thousand actions per minute!

What kind of monstrous dexterity was this?

It was as if his cultivation suppression didn't exist!

Elder Lin had already verified—the illusion realm Lu Ze used had no flaws.

This meant

Lu Ze achieved this feat purely through mortal flesh, without relying on cultivation or innate talent!

As everyone knew,

Lu Ze's illusion realms imposed strict suppression on cultivation bases.

All enhancements from realm and constitution were nullified.

Every participant fought in their most primal state.

This was why outer sect disciples could sometimes defeat inner sect members—even elite disciples.

Only two exceptions existed:

Li Moran,

and Lu Ze.

'It seems Junior Brother Lu's aptitude is anything but mediocre...'

Zhong Yi mused silently.

Gathering qi into his eyes, he strained to see clearer.

The scene slowed severalfold in his vision, finally revealing glimpses of the truth.

"The [Tianxuan Array Master]'s attacks—Lu Ze dodged them with pure movement! What kind of godly micro is this!?"

"I see now... He instantly repositioned injured rhinos to the center, maintaining numerical superiority! The retreat was bait to lure Zhang into overextending!"

"This unit dispersal tactic... Unbelievable! The [Cloud Immortal Saintess] got kited into oblivion!!"

......

......

Had Lu Ze been present to hear Zhong Yi's analysis, even he might've praised the elder disciple's sharp insight.

Lu Ze's forces were vastly outnumbered across all battlefields.

His victories relied entirely on micromanagement.

The [Tianxuan Array Master]—Tianxuan Sect's elite unit—had high-damage, wide-range spells.

But their attacks were skill-shot based, avoidable through precise dodging.

Zhang Shifei's Blazing Rhinoceroses appeared evenly matched with Lu Ze's Shadow Rhinoceroses in numbers.

In reality, Lu Ze focused fire with surgical precision each engagement.

The retreats were tactical—luring the enemy forward while cycling injured units to the back, preserving overall DPS.

A one-HP ranged unit dealt the same damage as a full-health one.

As for the [Cloud Immortal Saintess]—with their insane speed, heavy hits, and splash damage—

Lu Zhe countered by splitting forces to kite,

then used groups of four Blood Puppets to form "cross-kill zones" that trapped the Saintesses, trading low-tier units for high-value targets...

......

......

Zhong Yi's commentary set the disciple audience ablaze with excitement.

"You can actually play like this!?"

"This is insane!!"

"Wait, he just casually deleted a tier-3 unit like that??"

"I don't get it... but it looks OP as hell!"

"Feels like a Mahayana expert bullying Qi Refinement newbies..."

"Doing this in one battlefield is crazy enough... but he's microing three fronts simultaneously!"

"Absolute monster!!"

"No choice but to admit defeat now!"

......

......

A faint smile curled at the corners of Lu Ze's lips.

"Now, it's time to end this."
