Arrays Face Off
Nine Phoenix stared at the empty area, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
That's it?
These were two hundred living, breathing Battle Saints, figures capable of causing a massive uproar and changing the very fabric of the Central Plains, or even any region of the entire continent. Yet, in such a short time, within this grand formation composed of four doors, they vanished completely.
Nine Phoenix's breathing became rapid. These were their real advantages, and he had only believed he could completely overwhelm these old forces of the continent because he held so many Dou Sheng in his hands. But now, two hundred people had vanished in an instant, and the biggest gap between them and the Continental Allied Army had been wiped out in an instant. Without the advantage in numbers, they would have a hard time gaining the upper hand in terms of combat strength alone.
The situation changed in just a short time?
The Continental Allied Army, however, wouldn't give them any extra time to think. Xiao Yan loudly addressed the numerous Dou Sheng Expert behind him, "Now, attack!"
Then, Dou Qi of Dou Sheng-level Dou Qi exploded in mid-air like fireworks, and their opponents were clearly disoriented by the commotion Xiao Yan had created, and were immediately suppressed.
Upon seeing this scene, Nine Phoenix bit his tongue, forcing himself to calm down. Currently, Xiao Yan had neutralized their biggest advantage, but there were still many opportunities to win. Most importantly, he, as the commander, absolutely could not lose his composure.
"Spread out the battle to prevent Xiao Yan from using the same trick again!"
"The vanguard, charge forward! Anyone who retreats, kill them on sight!"
"I trouble you, Ancestor, to go there. Putting everything else aside, you must keep Xiao Yan under control and prevent him from appearing on the battlefield any further."
"Send thirty men from the left flank. Ignore the others for now and kill those four. Our two hundred strong warriors are definitely only temporarily trapped. As long as we kill these four, we can definitely rescue everyone!"
Under the command of Nine Phoenix, the remaining three hundred-plus Dou Sheng generally followed his instructions. Among the previous two hundred-plus people, most were human, and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan powerhouses who were absolutely obedient to him suffered relatively few casualties, which was the best news for him.
Nine Phoenix muttered to herself, "Let's use chaotic fighting for now to stabilize the situation."
But today he had a vague sense of unease, as if he had become prey, being specifically targeted. He looked toward the Continental Allied Army, but all he could see was a dark mass, and even he couldn't really make out anything.
However, for safety reasons, Nine Phoenix still arranged more than ten Dou Sheng-level experts around him. If anyone really wanted to threaten him, they would have to kill these Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan experts first. Not to mention, he himself was also a Eight-Star Peak Dou Sheng, and there were only a few people who could threaten him.
His chaotic battle strategy ultimately failed to achieve the desired effect, because even if they had such intentions, the Continental Allied Army was unwilling to engage them in battle. The Continental Allied Army was not the same as it was outside the Demon Flame Space last time; this time they came prepared. Each of the four major forces brought a considerable number of Dou Zun- level experts, all for one purpose: to form an array!
"Ancient Emperor Mirror!"
"Ten Thousand Souls Final Link!"
"Nine Dragon Heavenly Thunder Array!"
"The Thousand Medicinal Fragrance Array!"
After successfully gathering the power of the Soul Clan's experts at the core of the grand formation, Hun Sha glanced in the direction of the Origin Return Manor. He knew that Origin Return Manor was about to suffer a loss. After all, the formations passed down by the Dou Di Descendant Clans were all connected by bloodlines. Origin Return Manor was a mixed bag, with the Flame Clan's bloodline dwindling and the Spirit Clan being of little use. As for the Xiao Clan, it was merely the clan of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan.
Among the Dou Di Descendant Clans, there are grand formations passed down that gather the power of all clan members, allowing them to connect through bloodlines and maximize the combat power of those involved.
Meanwhile, on the Origin Return Manor side, the Pill Tower Ancestor also appeared, standing before the numerous Dou Zun- level disciples.
"Mystic Spirit Trapping Array!"
Origin Return Manor was not established for long, but its foundation was quite good. This formation was pieced together from the collections of the Pill Tower and the Spirit Clan. It didn't have any particularly outstanding effects, but its advantage was that it was very inclusive, and could gather the strength of as many disciples as possible. After all, Origin Return Manor was good in many other aspects, but it lacked the connection of the same bloodline, which was a disadvantage in terms of combining formations.
Beneath the feet of each participant in the Origin Return Manor was a point of light, which were eventually connected to each other in an extremely orderly manner. Streams of Dou Qi circulated and transmitted within them, completely blocking the first wave of rising power from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, without even the slightest disturbance.
In the first wave of attack, Origin Return Manor was actually the best performing force! The stability of its formation surprised the other powerful members of the Continental Allied Army.
"How can the grand formation of the Origin Return Manor be so stable?" Hun Sha couldn't help but mutter in surprise.
What he didn't know was that over the past year, Xiao Yi Xian had gone to great lengths to rotate her disciples and gather Dou Qi, obtaining an astonishing number of Dou Qi storage crystals. Now, a portion of this energy had already been invested into the grand formation at its inception. This energy directly resulted in the formation being driven by two energy streams in its initial stage, making it naturally more stable than the other formations.
The Extraterritorial Evil Clan who charged forward failed to achieve any effect under this wave of protection, and even caused some damage to the Soul Clan Thunder Clan. They retreated and began to regroup.
This time, Nine Phoenix did not stop them, but simply inhaled towards the four Sky-Supporting Black Pillar.
After all, only the nearly one hundred people at the front were being attacked, and he was prepared. The Extraterritorial Evil Clan had prepared more than just these five hundred powerful warriors as trump cards.
Whoosh whoosh--
A series of rapid whooshing sounds rang out as black banners flew directly from afar. Upon reaching the sky above the Nine Phoenix, they seemed to come alive and landed in place, appearing out of thin air to surround the ranks of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.
"You have formations, but don't we?" Nine Phoenix held the longest and thickest formation flag in her hand.
He gripped the array flag tightly with both hands, black energy swirling around them, and the flag itself was covered with figures, as if many living beings were inside it.
"Thousand Saints Point to Mortals Array! End!"
All the Dou Sheng level experts seemed to sense something, their bodies trembled slightly, and the black Dou Qi within their bodies surged continuously. The Dou Qi and black Qi merged and landed on the illusory array, becoming part of it.
