Chapter 91: Military Array

The army under Marquis Jiujiang, led by 'Yuewu', formed a military formation that descended like a massive fireball. At the forefront of this super-large fireball stood Luo Feng and his servant.

"Truly formidable," Luo Feng remarked, observing the countless flames around him. This power stemmed from thousands of Eternal True Gods, whose energies were gathered 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 are only possible at the Eternal True God stage," Luo Feng understood.

It's impossible for a large group of Chaos Sovereigns to form such a grand formation! Across the entire Origin Continent, Chaos Sovereigns are scarce. In a second-rate nation like Yu, there are only dozens of Chaos realm experts in total, and most are scattered across various regions. Chaos realm experts also highly value their freedom. After all, cultivating for countless years to become a hegemon isn't about being someone's subordinate! Even if they willingly follow a God King, they would require substantial resources from the God King. It would be remarkable to have even a few Chaos realm experts collaborate on a formation.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng was suddenly startled, looking down below.

Explosions reverberated below! The entire Chaos A-zone had long been prepared with the 'Dark Prison World Array'. This grand formation only manifested after Marquis Jiujiang's army broke in. Once active, countless azure chains snaked out to bind them. The super-large fireball's surface was engulfed in violent flames, crushing some chains upon impact. However, more azure chains emerged from the void, wrapping around the giant fiery orb from all directions.

"Everyone, this is the 'Dark Prison World Array' from the Heart Shadow Sect. Given their current strength, they can probably only deploy the 'Dark Prison World Array' and the 'Great Annihilation Absolute Array'," Yuewu calmly stated from the center of the formation, his voice reaching every Eternal True God within the army. "The combination of these two arrays is their strongest tactical maneuver. We don't need to confront them head-on; we just need to avoid their sharp edges and reach the City Lord's Mansion."

The super-large fireball rotated, resisting the binding of the gigantic azure chains while simultaneously moving closer to the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the leaders of the five great families and the Eternal True Gods, including Moli Feiyun, Diaorong Qimo, and Yuhu, all looked up at the terrifying confrontation.

"Crush them!"

As the super-large fireball resisted the chains, a grand formation, swirling with clouds, suddenly appeared. It was the Great Annihilation Absolute Array.

The clouds swirled thickly, making it difficult to discern anything within the formation. With a loud "bang," the massive cloud mass collided with the super-large fireball, sending countless flames scattering. The chains, though dispersing, quickly reformed and continued to bind the fireball.

"Break!" At the very front of the super-large fireball, Luo Feng, now colossal in stature, unleashed a powerful blade strike that tore through the sky, aiming for the Great Annihilation Absolute Array ahead. As he struck, General Yuewu naturally coordinated, and countless flames followed the blade's radiance. A colossal, surging 'flame blade light' cleaved forward, causing the Great Annihilation Absolute Array to tremble and inflicting soul-piercing pain upon the many Eternal True Gods maintaining it.

"It's Luo He!" "Luo He is the vanguard of the army formation; everyone be careful." Within the Great Annihilation Absolute Array, numerous super-large mechanical secret treasures were hidden, ready to strike at any moment. However, upon realizing Luo Feng was the vanguard, they no longer dared to charge forward.

"Heart Demon Kite and Heart Shadow Demonic General, they are yours," commanded the Heart Shadow Sect Master. "Yes, sir."

From within the concealed formation, a black flying beast and a black humanoid figure simultaneously burst forth. These were the 'Heart Demon Kite' piloted by Elder Xinyan and the 'Heart Shadow Demonic General' piloted by Qiu Yi.

"Junior Brother Qiu Yi, Luo He's spiritual will is terrifying. Do not think of attacking proactively; focus entirely on defense," Elder Xinyan transmitted. Among the sect's guardian treasures, the Heart Shadow Demonic General was even more powerful than the Heart Demon Kite. Elder Xinyan was surprised that a disciple could pilot the Heart Shadow Demonic General.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother," Qiu Yi replied confidently.

"Hmm, two guardian treasures?" Luo Feng was quite surprised. His colossal form was no less impressive than these two guardian treasures, and he immediately unleashed two 'Heart Refinement' strikes. The two blade lights shone brilliantly, imbued with a spiritual will as sharp as a blade.

Elder Xinyan commanded the Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods under him, merging their spiritual wills through the 'Heart Demon Kite'. Their combined spiritual will was comparable to a peak Chaos realm expert, not significantly weaker than the peak Chaos will Luo Feng displayed on the surface. If their spiritual will focused solely on defense, Luo Feng could at most suppress their will, with minimal impact on their actual strength. The reason for their previous disastrous defeat was that the Heart Demon Kite's spiritual will had actively charged into Luo Feng's divine body, launching an offensive! Like an egg hitting a mountain, all members piloting the Heart Demon Kite suffered severe spiritual will damage, forcing them to flee. Now, with their spiritual will recovered, they were not afraid of focusing purely on defense.

"Rumble!" The Heart Demon Kite and Heart Shadow Demonic General also received augmentation from the Great Annihilation Absolute Array. Luo Feng's techniques were likewise enhanced by the army formation. His blade arts were either ferociously violent, utterly silent, like a bottomless abyss, or skillfully leveraged an opponent's force.

"The Heart Demon Kite didn't fully demonstrate its strength last time, but I'm seeing it now." Luo Feng's battle spirit soared. After five eras of cultivation, he hadn't had the chance to fight to his heart's content. Now, he was thoroughly enjoying the battle, using his opponents as whetstones to test the numerous techniques he had comprehended.

"Brother Luo He, just focus on defense. Our goal is to reach the City Lord's Mansion as quickly as possible," Yuewu transmitted. "Don't worry," Luo Feng replied.

Yuewu was quite pleased with 'Divine Lord Luo He', the vanguard general of the army formation. His exceptional individual strength and powerful spiritual will made it very difficult for the Heart Shadow Sect to breach their formation from within.

"Hmm?" Yuewu was suddenly startled. Luo Feng was equally surprised. Both had discovered a super-large flying vessel, its surface covered with countless flowing array lights. Its sheer presence made Luo Feng's heart pound. As this massive vessel charged forward, it left numerous spatial rifts in its wake.

"Defeat them!" Inside the super-large flying vessel was the three-eyed man, Feng Yuqi. More than five hundred Eternal True God disciples jointly piloted the vessel.

This super-large flying vessel possessed terrifying power. Luo Feng, now colossal and at the forefront of Marquis Jiujiang's army formation, faced the impact of this vessel head-on. "Where did this come from?" Luo Feng, seeing the formidable vessel, immediately recalled intelligence reports on the armies of the two ancient nations. "This is a military warship from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom."

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's military mechanical secret treasures, vessels, and the like were far superior to those of other divine nations. Furthermore, the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom permitted their sale to outsiders, though at an exorbitant price. According to Luo Feng's intelligence, a warship like the one before him would cost a staggering 500 million Cosmic Sands! It would require several hundred Eternal True Gods to operate it, with each controlling a specific part.

This was far more terrifying than many grand formations. Within the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, ordinary threats and dangers would be suppressed by a single warship! A single warship was capable of sweeping aside any individual below the Chaos realm. Only in the face of greater trouble would Chaos realm experts intervene.

"This is a warship from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, a mobile, terrifying grand formation whose power surpasses even the Great Annihilation Absolute Array! Do not resist it head-on!" Yuewu's voice echoed throughout the army formation. The formation instantly transformed from a super-large fireball into a massive current of water. This endless current flowed, formless and ever-changing.

Luo Feng, who had just been clashing with the Heart Demon Kite and Heart Shadow Divine General, was instantly pulled away as the water current flowed.

The massive warship charged fiercely, but the army formation's water current was unpredictable, avoiding its onslaught and preventing the warship from making contact.

"This..." The Heart Shadow Sect Master was both surprised and enraged. If this warship from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom were in Yuewu's hands, it would likely be far more sophisticated. But in the Heart Shadow Sect's hands, it could only charge wildly, utterly unable to stop the elusive water current of the army formation.

Bang, bang, bang! In contrast, the sect's suitable grand formations, the 'Dark Prison World Array' and the 'Great Annihilation Absolute Array', could continuously obstruct and affect them. However, the army formation's water current had no intention of engaging; it simply evaded, incredibly slippery.

Whoosh. What seemed like a long time was actually only a few dozen breaths. The army formation's water current had already slipped into the City Lord's Mansion. "Good!" Outside the city, the silver-haired Marquis Jiujiang watched this scene from afar, overjoyed. "Yuewu truly lives up to his reputation as the foremost formation master below the Chaos realm in our Yu Nation. His command of the army formation is clearly far more refined than the Heart Shadow Sect's. They've finally entered the City Lord's Mansion." "Once inside the City Lord's Mansion, they can control Huyang City, and with the city's aid... their chances of victory will greatly increase," Marquis Jiujiang thought.

Marquis Liuyin, clad in dark red armor, frowned as he observed the scene. "Within the formation, there are over three thousand Eternal True Gods, including extremely powerful ones like Luo He and Yong Hu. With Yuewu commanding the formation, the Heart Shadow Sect couldn't possibly stop them." "This time, they were determined to escape into the City Lord's Mansion." "However, merely fleeing won't secure victory; ultimately, a direct confrontation is inevitable," Marquis Liuyin mused. "I don't care how many Heart Shadow Sect members die, but Marquis Jiujiang, what will you do if your army suffers heavy casualties?"

Emperor Chuyu, the master of the Yanfeng Pavilion, and his vice-master were also leisurely observing the battle.

"Yuewu of the Yu Nation indeed possesses profound mastery in formations," Emperor Chuyu remarked, observing from afar. "Among the Eternal True Gods in our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, it's rare to find someone with such strong formation skills."

"Even in peripheral nations, talented experts can emerge," the vice-master said. Emperor Chuyu shook his head. "This warship is a military vessel from our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, undeniably exquisite in its formation and immensely powerful. Yet, in the hands of the Heart Shadow Sect, it's so clumsy, only capable of blindly charging!"

"As for the Heart Shadow Sect, only the two commanders piloting the Heart Demon Kite and Heart Shadow Demonic General are noteworthy; the rest are insignificant," the vice-master stated. "However, behind the Heart Shadow Sect is Marquis Liuyin. I'm very familiar with Marquis Liuyin's temperament. Since he decided to ignite this war... it will be very difficult for Marquis Jiujiang to win."

Even though they hailed from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, both greatly feared Marquis Liuyin.

Marquis Liuyin, in terms of cultivation and accumulation, was a being who had already touched the threshold of a God King.

"Marquis Liuyin is not to be trifled with," Emperor Chuyu said. "Unless a special situation arises, Marquis Jiujiang will most likely be defeated."

The vice-master also agreed. Having traveled through many nations across the Origin Continent, they were well-informed and had long understood that the essence of the conflict between the two Chaos Prefectures lay with the two Chaos realm experts behind them.
