"Twenty legions, heed my command. Spread out around the army. Use the power of your legions to suppress the land below and stop it from shaking."
Less than a moment after Bai Qi issued the order, the members of the twenty legions took up positions around the army and unleashed waves of formidable auras. The Sword Mountain Legion poured countless streams of sword qi into the earth, the Demon King Legion injected endless demonic qi underground, and the Immortal Legion sent vast amounts of spiritual qi into the ground.
