"Huh?!"
The twelve enormous Capital-Heaven manifestations, each hundreds of meters tall, instantly startled everyone with their sheer spectacle and might. Those in the Great Chu camp were especially bewildered.
"This is bad! We've fallen into a trap!"
Xue Wufeng of Blood Venerating Island, who was controlling the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in a fierce assault on the western camp, cried out as his expression changed. He immediately tried to steer the formation away to surround and kill Emperor Jian Shang.
After all, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's primary duty was to deal specifically with Emperor Jian Shang.
The Twelve Capitals Banner-Demon Formation was the trump-card formation of Emperor Jian Shang and the Great Huan Forbidden Guard. Its appearance in the southern camp meant that Emperor Jian Shang was there too, not in the western camp as they had assumed. Across the entire world, only Emperor Jian Shang and Wang Ben, son of War God Wang Jian, could attain full mastery of Formation Condensation and Transformation. Moreover, given the immense distance between the western and southern camps, Emperor Jian Shang could not possibly control the formation from so far away!
Unfortunately, how could the War God Manifestation and the four Earthly Branch Dharma Forms, which had been fighting it for so long, let the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation leave so easily?
"Boom..."
An enormous Earthly Branch Dharma Form struck skyward, smashing countless streams of Sword Qi and knocking out a gigantic sword wreathed in shimmering mist and majestic Immortal Artifact power. It was one of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's four immortal swords-a sign that the formation had nearly been shattered and forced back into its original form.
With starlight entangling it across the sky and the four Earthly Branch Dharma Forms surrounding and attacking from four directions, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was pinned fast.
