Chapter 99: 2nd Army, 25th Formation
Chapter 99: 2nd Army, 25th Formation
The army under Marquis of Jiu Jiang, led by Yuewu, resembled a super-large fireball rolling down, with Luo Feng and his servant standing at the forefront of the giant fireball.
"It is indeed formidable," Luo Feng observed the countless flames around him. This was the power of thousands of eternal true gods summoned by the formation, "A formation can combine the power of numerous eternal true gods, even leading to a qualitative change!"
"However, such large-scale military formations only exist at the stage of eternal true gods," Luo Feng realized this fact.
A large group of Primal Chaos Overlords forming a formation? That was impossible!
After all, there were not many Primal Chaos Overlords throughout the whole Land of Origin.
In a second-tier nation like Yu Kingdom, there were only dozens of individuals in the Primal Chaos Realm, and they were almost all scattered around different places.
Those in the Primal Chaos Realm cherished their freedom. After all, cultivating for eons to become a ruler of a territory was not about serving others! Even if they were willing to follow a Godly King, it required the king to bestow substantial resources.
It was already remarkable to have several Primal Chaos Realm individuals arrange a formation together.
"Hm?" Luo Feng suddenly gasped in surprise and looked down.
There was a series of explosions below!
The Primal Chaos Armor Sector had long been equipped with the 'Dark Prison World Array.' As soon as Marquis of Jiu Jiang's army invaded, this grand formation emerged. Once it appeared, numerous cyan chains came binding from all directions.
The super-giant fireball, with its flames raging fiercely on the surface, crushed some of the chains upon collision. But more cyan chains emerged from the void, entangling this massive fireball from all directions.
"Gentlemen, this is the 'Dark Prison World Array' from the Heartshadow Sect.
Given their current strength, they can probably only set up the 'Dark Prison World Array' and 'Great Destruction Ultimate Formation,'" Yuewu sat calmly at the center of the formation, her voice spreading throughout every eternal true god in the military formation, "Combined, these are their strongest tactical measures in formations. We don't need to clash head-on.
As long as we avoid their main attacks and reach the city owner's mansion, that will suffice."
The super-giant fireball spun, resisting the numerous giant cyan chains while also moving closer to the city owner's mansion.
Inside the city owner's mansion, the leaders of the Five Great Families and eternal true gods, including Moli Feiyun, Diaorong Qi, and Moyu Hu, were all looking up at this terrifying confrontation.
"Crush them!"
As the super-giant fireball was resisting the chains, a grand formation with roiling dark clouds suddenly appeared - it was the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation.
Fog swirled, making it difficult to see the inside of the formation.
"Boom~~~"
The huge cloud mass collided with the super-giant fireball, causing countless flames to scatter, the chains shattering and then reconstituting, continuing to bind it.
"Break."
At the forefront of the super-giant fireball, Luo Feng, now towering in stature, ferociously sliced through the air with his blade, targeting the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation in front of him.
As he made this cut, General Yuewu naturally coordinated, with countless flames following the blade light. A massive super-giant 'Flame Blade Light' struck, shaking the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation, causing many arranging eternal true gods to feel soul pain.
"It's Luo He."
"Luo He leads the army formation, everyone be careful." Inside the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation, there were also many super-large mechanical secret treasures hidden, ready to strike at any moment.
But knowing Luo Feng was leading, they dared not charge.
"Heart Devil Kite and Demon General of Heartshadow, I leave them to you," the Master of the Heartshadow Sect ordered.
"Yes."
A black flying bird and a black humanoid figure simultaneously launched an attack from within the hidden formation, the 'Heart Devil Kite' controlled by Elder Hearteye and the 'Demon General of Heartshadow' controlled by Qiu Yi.
"Junior Brother Qiu Yi, Luo He's spiritual will is terrifying. Do not think of attacking actively, just defend with all your might," Elder Hearteye communicated through sound transmission. Within the sect-protecting treasures, the Demon General of Heartshadow was somewhat stronger than the Heart Devil Kite.
Elder Hearteye was surprised that a disciple could control the Demon General of Heartshadow.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother," Qiu Yi was equally confident.
"Hm? Two sect-protecting treasures?" Luo Feng was quite startled. His towering stature was comparable to these two sect-protecting treasures, and he immediately struck with two 'Heart Honing' blades.
Two dazzling blade lights emerged, each containing a blade-sharp spiritual will.
Elder Hearteye, leading his subordinate eternal true gods and true gods of void space, combined their spiritual wills through the Heart Devil Kite, matching the top standards of the Primal Chaos Realm. The spiritual will they displayed was not much different from Luo Feng's exposed pinnacle will of Primal Chaos.
If the spiritual will was solely dedicated to defense, Luo Feng's will might be slightly suppressed at most, with minimal impact on his strength.
The last time was so dire because the Heart Devil Kite's spiritual will had rushed into Luo Feng's godly body, attacking actively! It was like an egg smashing against a mountain; all members of the Heart Devil Kite suffered severe damage to their spiritual will, which is why they fled desperately.
But now, with the spiritual will restored and focused solely on defense, they were not afraid.
"Rumble~~~"
The Heart Devil Kite and the Demon General of Heartshadow also had the support of the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation.
Luo Feng's techniques were also bolstered by the military formation, with his blade technique being either wildly fierce, silent, abyssal, or leveraging force.
"The Heart Devil Kite didn't show its strength last time, but this time I got to see it," Luo Feng's fighting spirit soared. He hadn't been able to fight freely during his five eras of cultivation. Now that he was fighting heartily, he treated his opponents as whetstones to test the many techniques he had developed.
"Brother Luo He, just focus on defense. Our goal is to reach the city owner's mansion as quickly as possible," Yuewu communicated through sound transmission.
"Rest assured," Luo Feng responded.
Yuewu was very satisfied with the vanguard general of the army, Lord Luo He. His individual strength and spiritual will were extremely powerful, making it hard for the Heartshadow Sect to break through their formation from within.
"Hmm?" Yuewu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Feng was equally astonished. They both noticed a super-large Flying Boat, its surface swirling with countless formation lights, its might so imposing that just seeing it sent chills down Luo Feng's spine. At this moment, the super-large Flying Boat was charging forward, creating numerous space cracks in its path.
"Crush them," commanded the three-eyed man Feng Yuqi from inside the super-large Flying Boat. The Flying Boat was manned by more than five hundred eternal true god disciples, jointly steering it.
This super-large Flying Boat's terrifying might was evident, as Luo Feng, towering and formidable, stood at the forefront of the entire Marquis of Jiu Jiang's army formation, facing the collision of the super-large Flying Boat.
"Where did this come from?" Luo Feng, eyeing the terrifying Flying Boat, immediately recalled the intelligence regarding the military of the two ancient countries, "This is a military ship from the Flame Wind Ancient Country."
The military of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, with their mechanical treasures and ships, far surpassed other Divine Kingdoms. Moreover, Flame Wind Ancient Country allowed foreign transactions, though the prices were exorbitantly high.
This ship, based on the intelligence Luo Feng had, required a whopping five hundred billion Cosmic Sand! It likely needed several hundred eternal true gods to drive it, each operating a part.
This was much more terrifying than many formations.
Within the territory of Flame Wind Ancient Country, ordinary troubles and dangers warranted the dispatch of one warship to suppress them! A single warship could sweep through any individual below the Primal Chaos Realm.
Only if faced with greater trouble would the Primal Chaos Realm intervene.
"This is a warship of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, a moving terrifying great formation, its might even greater than the Great Destruction Ultimate Formation! Do not withstand it head-on!" Yuewu's voice broadcasted throughout the army formation as it transformed, the originally super-large fireball instantly turning into super-large water currents.
These endless water currents flowed and changed shape formlessly.
Previously, Luo Feng was engaged in combat with the Heart Devil Kite and the Divine General of Heartshadow, but with the flowing water, he instantly pulled away.
"Hmm?"
The massive warship fiercely collided, but the army's water currents were unpredictable, avoiding its sharp edges, making it impossible for the gigantic warship to touch the water.
"This—" The Master of the Heartshadow Sect exclaimed in anger.
If this warship were in Yuewu's hands, it would likely be manipulated with much more finesse. But under the control of the Heartshadow Sect, it just blindly rushed forward, unable to stop the slick army water currents.
Boom, boom, boom~~~
Instead, it was more suited for the sect's grand formations like 'Dark Prison World Array' and 'Great Destruction Ultimate Formation' that could continually hinder and influence, but the army water currents were unwilling to engage, constantly evading smoothly.
"Whew."
It seemed like a long time, but it was just a matter of seconds. The army water currents had already surged into the city owner's mansion.
...
"Excellent!" Outside the city, the silver-haired Marquis of Jiu Jiang watched this scene with great joy, "Yuewu is indeed the top Array Master below the Primal Chaos Realm of our Yu Kingdom. He maneuvers the army formation much more exquisitely than the Heartshadow Sect. They've finally entered the city owner's mansion."
"Once inside the city owner's mansion, they can control Huyang City and utilize the city... The odds of winning are much greater," thought Marquis of Jiu Jang.
...
Marquis Liu Yin, clad in dark red armor, frowned as he watched this scene: "Inside the formation are over three thousand eternal true gods, and there are extremely powerful eternal true gods like Lord Luo He and Yong Hu. With Yuewu leading the formation, the Heartshadow Sect can't stop them."
"This time they are focused on escaping into the city owner's mansion."
"But focusing solely on escaping won't lead to victory; eventually, a direct confrontation is required," Marquis Liu Yin observed. "The Heartshadow Sect may lose many, and I don't care, but Marquis of Jiu Jiang, if your troops suffer heavy casualties, what will you do then?"
...
Emperor Chu Yu of the Flame Wind Pavilion and the Deputy Pavilion Master were also leisurely watching the battle.
"Yuewu of the Yu Kingdom indeed possesses high prowess in formation technique," Emperor Chu Yu observed from afar. "Among our eternal true gods of Flame Wind Ancient Country, it's rare to find such strong expertise in formations."
"Even the fringe nations can produce some talented and strong individuals," the Deputy Pavilion Master remarked.
Emperor Chu Yu shook his head, "This warship, however, is a military ship from our Flame Wind Ancient Country. Despite its intricate formations and immense power, in the hands of the Heartshadow Sect, it's quite foolish, capable only of reckless charging!"
"In the Heartshadow Sect, only the leaders who control the Heart Devil Kite and the Demon General of Heartshadow are adequate; the rest are insignificant," the Deputy Pavilion Master commented. "But behind the Heartshadow Sect is Marquis Liu Yin, and I know his temperament well. Since he has decided to start a great war... this battle, for Marquis of Jiu Jiang, will be hard to win."
Even coming from the Imperial Clan of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, they both held considerable wariness towards this Marquis Liu Yin.
Marquis Liu Yin, by realm accumulation alone, was a being close to touching the threshold of Godly King.
"Marquis Liu Yin is not to be trifled with," Emperor Chu Yu observed. "Unless there's a special circumstance, Marquis of Jiu Jiang will most likely lose."
The Deputy Pavilion Master agreed.
They had traveled across many states of the Land of Origin and, well-versed and experienced, had long understood the essence of the conflict between the two Primal Chaos Prefectures: it was a struggle between two Primal Chaos figures behind the scenes.
Marquis Liu Yin had only dispatched a hired 'Heartshadow Sect' so far, his own forces yet to move, and already forced Marquis of Jiu Jiang to pay dearly to garner support from various strong individuals.
