After the last time Ling Tian and the others had ambushed the rear and flanks of their forces, the cultivators allied with the great powers of the God Realm had naturally learned their lesson. They soon came up with a countermeasure: have all their cultivators form a circular formation. That way, there would be no distinction between front and back, or left and right.
And that wasn't all. The circular formation was carefully arranged. Several rows of shield-bearing melee experts stood at the front, able to use their shields to intercept all kinds of attacks, including powerful arrow techniques. They were also skilled at forming a Saber Qi Formation, and their coordinated attacks could concentrate their power on a single target. Many of them were close to the Saint level, and Saint-level experts could reinforce them at any moment. They were confident that even against a Saint-level expert, they would have a good chance of killing their opponent—or, at the very least, driving them back.
With that, they could hold out until other Saint-level experts arrived to support them. The cultivators allied with the great powers of the God Realm were confident they would suffer no casualties, especially with Shi Lin and the other God Devouring Bodies protecting them with the God-Devouring Demon Domain. That made them even more certain they would avoid losses.

The archers behind the shield wall could then form an Arrow Formation and attack their targets directly. There were hundreds of thousands of them. Though fewer cultivators would face any one side of the circle, their numbers were still staggering. Concentrating their attacks on a target gave them an even better chance of killing
