" The Heaven-Opening Blade!"
Faced with such an attack, the World-Creation Five Elements Army naturally dared not be negligent. They no longer limited themselves to defense, but quickly changed their formation to attack instead of defending, and at the same time wielded their red greatswords.
Thousands of crimson blade beams converged to form a gigantic celestial blade. At the hilt of the blade was a Five Elements Ring, from which boundless power emanated, colliding fiercely with the enemy's golden lightning.
Clang...!
The Heavenly Blade of the World-Creation Five Elements Army was no match for the golden lightning; the blade was instantly shattered by the lightning.
However, at this moment, the Five Elements Ring at the hilt of the Heavenly Blade shone brightly, and as it rotated, endless Five Elements power replenished the Heavenly Blade, forcefully blocking the further approach of the lightning.
"For the glory of the Heavenly Realm, kill!!"
The Lightning Division Commander glared angrily and ordered all his members to exert their full strength. The blade of the Heavenly Blade shattered inch by inch, and soon the golden lightning approached the hilt.
However, Shi Xing showed no sign of panic at this moment. He immediately directed the members of his corps to change their formation.
" The Five Elements Rotation, the Great Heavenly Wheel!"
As the formation changed, the shattered power was actually gathered back to the hilt of the sword, turning the Five Elements Ring at the hilt into a giant wheel.
As the roulette wheel spins, the power of the five elements gathers at its center and is then released.
" Five Elements Cannon!!"
A dazzling burst of multicolored light erupted and collided with the golden lightning. Although it couldn't repel the golden lightning, it completely neutralized its momentum.
"That's enough! Zhan Zhenxuan, you should retreat!"
Heavenly King Linlang, who had been observing the battle, spoke up. He had clearly seen that the World-Creation Five Elements Army had enough strength to hold off the Thunder Battle Division.
"My lord, please give me a little more time, I..."
Zhan Zhenxuan was indeed the name of the commander of the Thunder Division. However, he was currently filled with fighting spirit and did not want to give up so quickly. After all, if he gave up now, the heavenly army behind him would inevitably suffer huge losses.
"What, do you want me to say it a second time?"
Seeing that Zhan Zhenxuan dared to defy him, Heavenly King Linlang raised his voice.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
Zhan Zhenxuan sighed inwardly and had no choice but to order his troops to retreat swiftly, at a speed as fast as lightning.
"Haha... Don't rush off, I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Although the Thunder Battle Division has retreated, Shi Xing will not allow them to roam freely in the heart of the Chen Kingdom.
Soon, the soldiers of the Chen Kingdom will encircle the Heavenly Court army that has entered the heart of the Chen Kingdom. He must continue to hold off the Thunder Division and prevent them from disrupting Chen Kingdom's plans.
" Heavenly Court forces, retreat!"
After the Thunder Battle Division retreated, the Heavenly King Linlang immediately used his Primordial Spirit to transmit a message to all the commanders of the troops following behind, ordering them to retreat immediately, abandon all the cities and passes captured that day, and retreat to Mountain and River Pass.
However, at this moment, he received a message that didn't quite please him.
"Reporting to the Heavenly King, a legion of the Nether Clan warriors has suddenly appeared within Mountain and River Pass, led by a powerful deity."
Our defenders are no match for the enemy and are about to fall."
Although Heavenly King Linlang knew that if the Thunder Battle Division retreated, he would definitely lose some troops in the Chen Kingdom.
But he never imagined that all these troops would be lost here. Now that their retreat was cut off, even he had a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"Snort!"
He turned and glanced at Chen Mu, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
However, he had something more important to do now, which was to support Mountain and River Pass. So after looking at Chen Mu, he lifted his foot and prepared to step into the air and fly away.
" Heavenly King Linlang, since you're here, please stay and have a seat!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
Countless golden runes appeared in the void, transforming into chains of divine order that coiled around Heavenly King Linlang Heavenly King Linlang, forcibly stopping his rising steps.
"You think you can keep me here?"
Heavenly King Linlang's face darkened with anger. With a loud bang, the halo behind him erupted with dazzling light, like a blazing sun, instantly shattering the divine chains of order on his body.
"Haha... Heavenly King Linlang, I admit you're strong, but unfortunately, this is my home turf!"
Just as Chen Mu finished speaking, Heavenly King Linlang was shocked to discover that nine pillars of light shot into the sky from the surrounding mountain peaks. These pillars of light echoed each other in the air, forming a huge magic array that sealed off an area of a hundred miles.
" God Level sealing array? You guys are really rich!"
Heavenly King Linlang finally realized that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
However, his first reaction upon realizing he had fallen into a trap was not shock at the other party's strength, but rather at their wealth.
During the years of continuous war between the Heavenly Court and the Chen Kingdom, although the Chen Kingdom maintained a relatively low casualty ratio, it was obvious to everyone that the Chen Kingdom's low casualty ratio was basically achieved by accumulating resources.
Those disposable Rune Artifacts, ammunition, mechs, and talismanic paper—aren't they all incredibly expensive in the outside world?
Although these were all produced by the Chen Kingdom Rune Research Institute, self-production still incurs costs, and they couldn't just appear out of thin air.
The Heavenly Court is one of the wealthiest in the myriad realms beyond, but even they often cannot match the Chen Kingdom in terms of the luxury of their equipment.
Therefore, in the eyes of Heavenly King Linlang, he always believed that the Chen Kingdom was exhausting its national treasury to fight against him.
After all, for the Chen Kingdom, having more resources would be useless if they couldn't stop the Heavenly Court. Therefore, it's completely understandable that the Chen Kingdom is throwing everything into this war.
However, seeing the God Level sealing array set up by Chen Mu made Heavenly King Linlang doubt his own guesses.
A formation that can reach the God Level requires a considerable amount of rare and precious materials.
Generally speaking, many gods in lower planes would need to collect wealth over a long period of time to build a God Level array in their own plane.
Moreover, the God Level formations constructed by gods are generally defensive formations. Although they usually have some offensive capabilities, defense is the most important, since formations cannot be moved, so strong offensive capabilities are not very effective.
More importantly, the defensive array is reusable. Even after millions of years, as long as someone maintains it, the defensive array can exist indefinitely.
But the sealing array is different; it is a one-time use array that cannot be restored once activated and cannot be used to seal other people.
Chen Mu constructed God Level sealing array here. If he hadn't shown up today, the materials used to construct the array wouldn't have been able to be recovered, and most of them would have had to be consumed.
This deduction made Heavenly King Linlang even more uneasy. He suddenly realized that the foundation of the Chen Kingdom seemed to be far more profound than he had imagined.
"Nine Dragons of the Nine Extremes, heed my command! Nine Dragons God-Sealing Formation!"
Not wanting to waste any time, Chen Mu immediately formed a hand seal, and lifelike divine dragons flew out from the nine pillars of light reaching the sky, suppressing the Heavenly King Linlang in the center.
