Chapter 5389: Battle Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Crack!
A tier 3 Emperor, deep within a pit, probed and touched the seemingly round stone. The next moment, it began to crack open.
The onlookers’ expressions tightened slightly, and as the sphere split open, it revealed an unexpected hollowness.
Inside, there was nothing – colorless and tasteless.
Seeing that there was nothing amiss, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Gutong, silent until now, showed no reaction.
The spheres in the other pits also began to crack open one after another. Over 100 spheres split open, with only 18 containing an ancient scepter. The rest, like the first one, were hollow.
“This is a formation! Quickly, get rid of it!”
Jian Wushuang roared, but it was already too late.
The scepters erupted with streams of light, instantly covering the surrounding billions of miles.
“Call for help!’
Gutong was the first to crush his token, looking back towards the City of Suppression.
At this moment, the massive city behind them was gone.
It was over!
Many Emperor-level experts realized they had fallen into a trap.
Even if the message could be transmitted, the powerful figures in the City of Suppression would likely be unable to locate them due to the spatial blockade.
Tick, tock!
Jian Wushuang remained relatively calm, fortunate enough.
Crouching down, he gazed at the murky water in a puddle beneath his feet. Just moments ago, it was tranquil, but now ripples began to form.
This prompted him to quickly stand up and look ahead.
Although his Thought power couldn’t detect any changes, his physical strength was formidable. His observational skills surpassed even those of an Emperor. At a glance, he saw the scene unfolding millions of miles away. Countless wriggling crawlers were madly rushing towards this direction.
“Formation!”
Seeing the perilous situation, Jian Wushuang swiftly moved, retreating behind the others.
The Emperor, who had long developed a reflex to the word “formation” , instantly gathered around Jian Wushuang, and the Luo Hou Battle Formation quietly assembled.
A quaint voice echoed from the majestic mouth of a deity and demon.
“Luo Hou!”
Xia Mang Guanyu’s bristling fur caused a commotion.
If it were anyone else daring to act like this, they would have been slashed and cut long ago. However, Xia Mang Guanyu, being a prince, coupled with the current blockade of the area, if Xia Mang Guanyu were to fall, Gutong would also find it hard to escape blame.
The next moment, Gutong was stunned. In the distance, the mud in the swamp surged, and something unknown had reached them.
“Prepare to face the enemy!’
At this point, they couldn’t care less whether the City of Suppression had received the message. They had to withstand this obstacle in front of them first.
600,000 troops lined up in a straight line, and numerous formations began to take shape.
Ancient wild beasts, contemporary deities and demons, and powerful Emperors all soared into the air.
Soon, the 600,000 troops converged into several hundred ancient powerhouses.
Each one of them possessed the strength of a tier 4 Emperor.
General Gutong stood tall at the front, having restored his strength. He was now a peak tier 5 Emperor, the strongest person present.
“Slaughter them all!”
The cries of battle echoed through the sky, and the void crawlers surging from the mire emerged, wielding their claws as they charged towards them.
The formation transformed by Jian Wushuang, the Luo Hou Battle Formation, was positioned at the rear.
Now was not the time for him to take action.
First, let the Emperor in the front block them. In case too much energy was consumed, it wouldn’t be good if they couldn’t escape later.
Buzz!
As the two sides clashed, the hundreds of formations condensed divine creatures or ancient beasts effortlessly tore and crushed those unsightly creatures. Witnessing this scene, a hint of fear appeared in Jian Wushuangs eyes.
This was similar to the situation in Qiuhuang City back then, resisting millions of Devouring Demons. However, these crawlers were even more powerful and aggressive than those Devouring Demons.
If a few tier 5 Emperors appeared, he wouldn’t be afraid.
However, the strength of these crawlers varied, but their numbers were frighteningly large.
Moreover, many of them were at the Emperor level. While the group could freely slaughter them, they were also depleting their divine power.
When they were almost exhausted, the strong members of those tribes would rush over!
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath, his gaze profound.
At this moment, if he didn’t lend a hand, it would be difficult for him to protect himself once these people were in trouble.
Originally, this visit was for the Beast God Weapon, but unexpectedly, after being here for a few days, nothing had been achieved. The first time they left the city, they encountered such a tricky ambush.
They hoped that the City of Suppression could come up with a solution!
Otherwise, everything might end here.
The Luo Hou Battle Formation was extremely suitable for Xia Mang Guanyu to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Supreme Art. With each step, he covered a distance of millions of miles. His towering figure was immense, and with a single fist, he smashed the marsh into a deep pit.
Hoo! Ha!
Every strike felt like hitting mud, weak and powerless.
This was simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, a bit of overkill.
“This won’t work; it’s better to let those Dao Lords separate.” Jian Wushuang quickly noticed that something was wrong.
As one of the three generals of the empire, Gutong had long noticed it.
However, if they broke the formation now, they would incur significant losses. What if the formation just dispersed, and the enemy appeared!
Jian Wushuang felt increasingly exhausted as the battle went on. Gritting his teeth, he directly dispelled the formation.
“Take the people to the edge, I’ll stay here alone!” Xia Mang Guanyu turned to the several Emperors and said.
The leader of the guards was somewhat worried, but seeing Jian Wushuangs resolute expression, he turned and led the others to the edge.
Jian Wushuang momentarily forgot his identity; he seemed to be nothing more than a Dao Lord.
In the next moment, the Heavenly Demon descended in its eight-armed form.
The enhanced Beast God Domain suddenly surged, and his divine body instantly soared to 20,000-fold of its normal power.
Eight arms emitted dazzling light, traversing the battlefield.
Glancing at Xia Mang Guanyu, Gutong realized that if they didn’t withdraw the formation soon, they would be in deep trouble; the consumption was too significant.
“Everyone, weaken the formation. The Emperor will act alone, and the Dao Lords will assemble the formation in the rear!” Gutong, resolute, gave the direct command.
The endless void crawlers seemed like an ocean.
Jian Wushuang swung his eight arms, shattering countless crawlers. When those crawlers broke apart, they seemed colorless and tasteless, but they carried a trace of the void’s power, invading the surrounding space.
The void, which even the Emperor would usually struggle to break, could now be easily destroyed with a casual gesture.
“What is this?”
Jian Wushuang stared wide-eyed, taking a sharp breath.
Bai Junwang, who was inside him, exclaimed, “They are destroying the void!”
Destroying the void meant dragging them all into annihilation!
This move was ruthless!
No wonder, with just these people, the Tianqi tribe could easily defeat them with a casual deployment. But why hadn’t the Tianqi tribe made a move yet?
Clearly, they were watching them self-destruct.
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the barrier behind him.
Sure enough, in the next moment, countless troops arrived.
It was Xuanyuan Dapan personally leading the army, numbering over ten million.
The barrier was unidirectional, easily broken from the outside, but getting out was extremely difficult.
“Grandpa, we’ve been fooled!” Xia Mang Guanyu shouted and rushed over.
Xuanyuan Dapan also noticed the changes in the void.
With so many powerful individuals entering this space, many parts of the void had started to rupture, revealing pitch-black gaps, inside of which flowed dangerous spatial turbulence..
