## Chapter 93: Military Formation

The army under Marquis Jiu Jiang, commanded by Yue Wu, formed a military formation that resembled a colossal fireball rolling forward with overwhelming force. At the very forefront of this fiery behemoth stood Luo Feng and his servants.

“Truly impressive,” Luo Feng murmured, gazing at the myriad flames around them, the concentrated power of thousands of Eternal True Gods fueled by the formation. “A formation can combine the strength of numerous Eternal True Gods, even causing a qualitative change!”

“However, these large-scale military formations only exist at the Eternal True God level,” Luo Feng understood.

A large group of Chaos Dominators forming a formation? An impossibility!

Because across the entire Origin Continent, Chaos Dominators were few and far between.

In second-rate kingdoms like Yu, there were only a few dozen Chaos Realm experts, and they were almost all scattered throughout the land.

Furthermore, Chaos Realm experts highly valued their freedom. After all, having cultivated for countless years to become overlords, they were not inclined to serve as subordinates for anyone! Even if they willingly followed a Godking, they would demand substantial resources as compensation.

Having even a few Chaos Realm experts willing to jointly set up a formation was already considered remarkable.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly felt a tremor and peered downwards.

Explosions rippled below!

The entire Chaos Armor District had already been prepared with a vast formation called the “Dark Prison World Formation,” which only materialized after Marquis Jiu Jiang’s army had entered the area. Once activated, countless cyan chains snaked out, attempting to bind them.

The colossal fireball’s surface blazed with intense heat, shattering some of the chains upon collision. However, more cyan chains emerged from the void, wrapping around the enormous flaming sphere from all directions.

“Everyone,” Yue Wu, calmly situated at the formation’s core, broadcasted his voice to every Eternal True God within the military formation. “This is the Heartshadow Sect’s ‘Dark Prison World Formation.’ Given the Heartshadow Sect’s current strength, they are likely only capable of deploying the ‘Dark Prison World Formation’ and the ‘Great Destruction Annihilation Formation.’ These two formations, working in conjunction, are their strongest asset in terms of formations. We need not clash head-on; simply evade their attacks and reach the City Lord’s Manor.”

The colossal fireball spun, resisting the constricting grasp of the giant cyan chains while steadily advancing towards the City Lord’s Manor.

Inside the City Lord’s Manor, the leaders of the five great clans, Eternal True Gods, including Mo Li Feiyun, Diao Rongqi, and Mo Yu Hu, all looked up at the terrifying conflict unfolding.

“Crush them!”

As the colossal fireball fought against the chains, a dark, churning cloud formation abruptly appeared – the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation.

Cloud and mist billowed, obscuring the interior of the formation.

“Boom!”

The massive cloud collided with the colossal fireball, sending countless flames scattering. The chains, shattered, reformed and continued to bind the fiery sphere.

“Break!”

At the very front of the colossal fireball, Luo Feng, now of towering size, unleashed a mighty slash that tore through the heavens, aimed directly at the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation.

As the blade fell, General Yue Wu coordinated the army’s movements, the myriad flames following in the wake of the blade light. A vast, overwhelming “Flame Blade Light” slammed into the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation, causing it to shudder violently. The many Eternal True Gods maintaining the formation felt a sharp pain in their souls.

“It’s Luo He!”

“Luo He is the vanguard of their military formation! Be careful, everyone!” Within the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation, numerous colossal mechanical treasures lay hidden, ready to strike at any moment.

But knowing that Luo Feng was the vanguard, they hesitated to attack.

“Heartfiend Kite and Heartshadow Demon General, they’re yours to deal with,” the Heartshadow Sect Master commanded.

“Yes!”

From within the formation, a black bird-like construct and a black humanoid figure emerged simultaneously – Hearteye Elder piloting the “Heartfiend Kite,” and Qiu Yi piloting the “Heartshadow Demon General.”

“Junior Brother Qiu Yi, Luo He’s mental will is incredibly formidable. Do not even think about launching an offensive! Focus solely on defense,” Hearteye Elder transmitted telepathically. Among the Sect’s most valued treasures, the Heartshadow Demon General was superior to the Heartfiend Kite.

Hearteye Elder was astonished that his disciple had been capable of mastering the Heartshadow Demon General.

“Senior Brother, rest assured,” Qiu Yi responded confidently.

“Hmm? Two of their most valued treasures?” Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. His towering form rivaled the size of the two treasures, and he immediately launched two “Heartforging” blade attacks.

The two blade lights shone brilliantly, carrying a powerful, sharp mental will.

Hearteye Elder, leading the Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods under his command, used the “Heartfiend Kite” to unify their mental will, reaching a level comparable to a top-tier Chaos Realm expert. It wasn’t too far off from Luo Feng’s displayed peak Chaos Realm willpower.

If their mental will was focused on defense, Luo Feng could only exert a slight mental pressure, barely affecting their strength.

The reason they had suffered so greatly last time was because the Heartfiend Kite’s mental will had attempted to invade Luo Feng’s divine body and launch an offensive! Like an egg striking a mountain, the mental will of the Heartfiend Kite’s members had been shattered, forcing them to flee in disarray.

But now, with their mental will recovered and focused on defense, they had nothing to fear.

“Rumble!”

The Heartfiend Kite and the Heartshadow Demon General were also empowered by the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation.

Luo Feng’s attacks were enhanced by the military formation. His blade techniques were sometimes brutal and ferocious, sometimes silent and imperceptible, sometimes like a bottomless abyss, sometimes using the opponent’s strength against them.

“So, the Heartfiend Kite hadn’t displayed its full potential last time. Now I see it,” Luo Feng thought, his fighting spirit ablaze. He had been cultivating for five cosmic eras without a chance to truly test his skills. This battle was invigorating, allowing him to use his opponents as whetstones, testing the various techniques he had developed.

“Brother Luo He, focus on defense! Our objective is to reach the City Lord’s Manor as quickly as possible,” Yue Wu transmitted.

“Understood,” Luo Feng replied. Yue Wu was quite pleased with “Divine Lord Luo He,” the vanguard of the military formation. His individual strength and mental will were exceptional, making it difficult for the Heartshadow Sect to break through their formation from within.

“Hmm?” Yue Wu suddenly felt a jolt of surprise.

Luo Feng was equally astonished. They had both noticed an enormous flying ship. Countless formation lights danced across its surface, its mere presence sending a chill down Luo Feng’s spine. Now, this massive warship was charging towards them, leaving space itself cracked and shattered in its wake.

“Destroy them!” Within the colossal ship was the three-eyed man, Feng Yuqi. Nearly five hundred Eternal True God disciples were working together to operate the ship.

The immense warship exuded terrifying power. Luo Feng, towering at the head of Marquis Jiu Jiang’s military formation, was now facing the full brunt of its collision.

“Where did that come from?” Luo Feng thought, recalling intelligence reports regarding the two ancient kingdom’s armies. “That’s a warship from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!”

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s armies were known for their superior mechanical treasures, warships, and other artifacts, far surpassing those of other kingdoms. Furthermore, the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom permitted their sale, albeit at exorbitant prices.

This warship, according to Luo Feng’s knowledge, would cost no less than five hundred million universe sand! It likely required several hundred Eternal True Gods to operate, each controlling a portion.

It was far more dangerous than many large-scale formations.

Within the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, for minor troubles, they would dispatch a warship to suppress the issue. A single warship was enough to sweep away any individual power below the Chaos Realm.

For bigger problems, a Chaos Realm expert would be sent.

“That’s a warship from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom! It’s a moving, terrifying formation, even more powerful than the Great Destruction Annihilation Formation! We cannot engage it directly!” Yue Wu’s voice echoed through the military formation. The colossal fireball instantly transformed into a colossal stream of water.

The boundless water flowed and shifted, becoming amorphous and shapeless.

Luo Feng, who had been clashing with the Heartfiend Kite and the Heartshadow Demon General, was instantly pulled away with the flowing water, creating a safe distance.

“Hmm?”

The massive warship slammed forward, but the military formation’s water flowed and changed unpredictably, evading its attacks and preventing the warship from even touching the water.

“This…” The Heartshadow Sect Master exclaimed in rage and shock.

If the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s warship were in Yue Wu’s hands, it would be wielded with far greater skill. But in the hands of the Heartshadow Sect, it was merely a blunt instrument, only capable of charging straight ahead, unable to stop the slippery water military formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The “Dark Prison World Formation” and the “Great Destruction Annihilation Formation,” which were more suited for the sect, were able to continuously hinder and obstruct the formation, but the water military formation did not want to entangle itself with them, focusing solely on evading, being incredibly slippery.

“Hoo.”

Though it seemed lengthy, only dozens of breaths had passed before the water military formation had slipped into the City Lord’s Manor.

……

“Good!” Outside the city, the silver-haired Marquis Jiu Jiang watched this scene from afar, overjoyed. “Yue Wu is indeed the foremost array master below the Chaos Realm in my Yu Kingdom. His manipulation of the military formation is clearly superior to the Heartshadow Sect. Finally, they’ve entered the City Lord’s Manor.”

“Once they control the City Lord’s Manor, they can control Huyang City, and use the city… the chances of victory will be higher,” Marquis Jiu Jiang thought.

……

Liu Yin Marquis, clad in dark red armor, frowned at the scene unfolding before him. “Within the military formation are three thousand Eternal True Gods, along with powerful Eternal True Gods such as Luo He and Yong Hu. With Yue Wu commanding the formation, the Heartshadow Sect cannot stop them.”

“This time, they are focused on escaping into the City Lord’s Manor.”

“However, fleeing alone will not achieve victory. Ultimately, they will have to face them head-on,” Liu Yin Marquis observed. “I do not care how many Heartshadow Sect members die. However, Marquis Jiu Jiang, if the majority of your army is killed, what will you do?”

……

Hall Master Di Chuyu of the Yanfeng Hall and his deputy also watched the battle leisurely.

“Yue Wu of the Yu Kingdom certainly has impressive array techniques,” Di Chuyu remarked remotely. “Even among our Eternal True Gods of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, it is rare to see such array talent.”

“Even in the border regions, talented experts will emerge from time to time,” his deputy replied.

Di Chuyu shook his head. “That warship is a military warship from my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom! Although its formations are profound and its power immense, in the hands of the Heartshadow Sect, it has become so clumsy, only capable of charging straight ahead!”

“In the Heartshadow Sect, only the two leaders who wield the Heartfiend Kite and the Heartshadow Demon General are passable. The others are not worth mentioning,” his deputy said. “However, the Heartshadow Sect is backed by Liu Yin Marquis. I know his nature well. Since he has decided to initiate a large-scale war… it will be difficult for Marquis Jiu Jiang to win this battle.”

Even as members of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s royal family, they were wary of Liu Yin Marquis.

Liu Yin Marquis had accumulated a realm that was at the very threshold of the Godking.

“Liu Yin Marquis is not someone to be trifled with,” Di Chuyu remarked. “Unless there is a special circumstance, Marquis Jiu Jiang will most likely be defeated.”

His deputy agreed.

They had traveled through many kingdoms in the Origin Continent and had seen a lot, so they had already seen through the true nature of this battle for a Chaos District: it was a proxy war between two Chaos Realm experts.

Liu Yin Marquis had merely sent the hired Heartshadow Sect, without even mobilizing his own forces. Yet, he had already forced Marquis Jiu Jiang to spare no expense in seeking aid from all sides.
