While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 365 - Arising Conflict

While trying to break through to the Master Cultivation Level, the previous Maxwell Family Head failed and suffered large backlash, weakening him greatly and making it so that he would be unable to unleash the full power that he once had.

The Maxwell Family tried to keep it secret, but word got out and after the Lin Family Head received it and verified it, a formal declaration of war was sent to the Maxwell Family, Epstein Family and Sentinels Faction.

A war between such large cultivation families and large groups of cultivators could decimate the entire city, so in the declaration of war, the Lin Family set a time and a place for them to face each other in a direct confrontation.

If they do not wish to battle, they may submit or expect an all-out attack within the city, which would cause great destruction and unnecessary death, and may even alert powerful cultivators that they didn't wish to mess with.

It gave the Maxwell Family, Epstein Family and Sentinel Faction no choice but to accept the call to war and instantly the situation for cultivators in New York was dire and most sought shelter, while others prepared to watch a great battle.

The meeting point was in an open and extremely large empty area outside of the city and the Lin Family Head wasn't looking to kill them all, but recruit as many of them as he could.

That was the main reason for his direct call to war, as otherwise he could have attacked suddenly and destroyed all of their assets and played it off to the public as a terrorist attack.

With both sides agreeing to a war and preparing for it to be held using hundreds of Illusion Stones outside of the city, where there wouldn't be any people or buildings, cultivators around the country and even around the world awaited news of the result.

Cole, Chase, Elizabeth, Angela and Wayde met together, as the 5 key people in the three allied groups and began planning their strategy.

Chase, Wayde, Cole and the strongest of the elders were to face the Lin Family Head and the other Family Heads directly, while the rest of the troops were to focus on ranged combat and using weaponry to conserve their energy.

With so many cultivators fighting in one place, there would be great destruction and it was likely that only a few cultivators would fight each other at a time.

There were many unknown factors, but the place had been set for their war and they were glad that it wasn't set within the city, but also worried, since it didn't give them any places to hide or use tactics.

It was going to be an all-out direct war between hundreds of capable cultivators and only the most capable cultivators would attend, as the weaker cultivators would merely get in the way and would merely get themselves killed.

While it was also important for them to protect their territories in the absence of the leaders, so there wouldn't be too many cultivators, but each of them would have power that surpassed most of what one could unleash with modern weaponry.

Many preparations were being set and the previous Maxwell Family Head was trying his best to recover before the battle began, hoping that he could aid in the battle against the powerful, ruthless and intelligent Lin Family Head.

Meanwhile, Adam estimated that it was nearing the time for him to complete his seclusion and was curious, excited and ready to return to his friends.

Adam had made sure to make sure that he made the most of his time and with his Unique Clone Sill, while in reality, he would always be studying and learning things from his master, while training his body and skills.

Through that, he had become a master of arrays that was on par with any array expert that could be found in the Epstein Family and had also reached the peak of the Advanced Cultivation Level in both Physical and Soul Cultivation.

Fighting against evil souls, ghouls and all other forms of souls was a new experience that was great and through it, he gained great power, experience and skills.

He had also fought against all sorts of negative creatures in the dungeon and also come across some unexpected positive creatures such as elves and dwarves, which he never expected to actually exist.

However, when he thought about it, compared to everything else that he had seen and been informed about, that was far from being able to shock him.

Along with all the skills and techniques that he had, his stats had already surpassed what one would expect from a mid-level Master Cultivator and his skills and capabilities had surpassed even that.

Adam's Fire Elemental Affinity had also progressed to the E:1 grade through his continuous training in its use and mastery over it, along with the increase of his body's power.

All meanwhile, he had the Three Special Rings that he had integrated with and also practised with to the point that he could comfortably draw out a large amount of their current power and unleash multiple abilities from each of the rings.

Additionally, Adam had become enthralled in the study and understanding of souls and since the Devouring Death Daggers were his Soul Equipment, with it, he could absorb Soul Power from any living creature around him.

Currently, Adam felt invincible within the country and knew that if he went all-out, he would even be able to match and even defeat Master Cultivators, however, he still knew that it was far from enough.

Earth was small compared to everything else he had seen while in the Physical Dungeon and Soul Dungeon and despite the earth being small, he was still unable to even dominate a small part of it.

There was still so much he was unable to do and didn't know, but in a single year, his power, knowledge and mindset had improved astronomically.
