Chapter 2411: The Nine Provinces Universal Formation!
Bang!
A tall Celestial Army soldier swung his fist. In normal circumstances, his punch would be enough to send human soldiers flying, even shattering their armor and bones.
But this heavy punch seemed to run into a steel wall. That lean human soldier across from him who clearly wasn’t on the same level of strength managed to block the punch with his two arms.
“How could this be?”
The Celestial Army soldier was flabbergasted, not daring to believe that this human soldier could block his attack. Moreover, he could tell that the strength of his punch was inexplicably weaker.
He simply couldn’t understand what was going on.
But in that momentary daze, the Celestial Army soldier was surrounded by several human soldiers, who swung their weapons at him.
Plush!
The Celestial Army soldier’s body shuddered, and then he vomited blood and was sent flying.
“How did they suddenly get so much stronger?”
The Celestial Army soldier’s eyes went wide, not daring to believe that he had been no match for some puny human soldiers.
But most shocking to him was that when all of the Celestial Army was seemingly being weakened by this immense strength, the human army was experiencing its own shift.
Bang!
As a signal banner was raised, several hundred thousand soldiers led by Gao Xianzhi and An Sishun swiftly began to form into a giant formation.
The Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation!
They were using the Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation that Wang Chong had once used, one of the ten great formations of the Central Plains.
“Killkillkill!”
With a resounding roar, the several thousand soldiers merged their energies together, and their bodies erupted with a grim aura that was accompanied by the humming of countless sabers and swords.
Bang!
At the same time, in another direction, another formation took form, led by former Youzhou Great General Zhang Shougui and supported by numerous titled generals.
The Impregnable Fortress Formation!
This was also one of the ten great formations of the Central Plains.
With Zhang Shougui at the center of the formation, the army swelled in power, all of them plated with a bronze light that massively boosted the defensive power of their armor.
The Eight Desolation Army Shattering Formation!
In another direction, Minister of War and former Annan Protector-General Zhangchou Jianqiong began to radiate a powerful aura, his eyes like bright swords. The energy swiftly sweeping over the army was none other than the energy of the Eight Desolation Army Shattering Formation, one of the ten great formations.
Bang!
A gray-brown energy infused with the power of the earth exploded from the top of Wang Zhongsi’s head. A massive power was summoned from the depths of the earth, using Wang Zhongsi’s body as an intermediary to empower several hundred thousand soldiers.
At this moment, Wang Zhongsi was using another powerful formation.
The Xuan-Huang Link Formation!
Bahram, Ozmish, Yeon Gaesomun, Duan Gequan, Wunu Shibi, We Tadra Khonglo… all of them joined the effort.
The Primal Chaos Supreme Unity Formation!
The White Tiger Geng Metal Formation!
The Six-Direction-Spanning Formation!
The Azure Dragon Gou Mang Formation!
One vast formation after another appeared, each one clearly occupying its own part of the battlefield.
This was the first time the ten supreme formations of the Central Plains had ever appeared on the same battlefield.
Each formation stood alone yet was also connected, like the different components of a giant machine. Now that they were together for the first time, they came together to create something new.
The Nine Provinces Universal Formation!
This was the ultimate product of the ten supreme formations of the Central Plains.
Borrowing the intelligence and countless efforts of the people from his last life, Wang Chong had finally succeeded in creating this new formation.
There was some connection between the ten formations, so in his last life, someone had suggested merging the ten formations together into a formation of unprecedented power.
Countless talented individuals had exhausted themselves to realize this idea, but unfortunately, there was limited time in that age, and various external reasons rendered their efforts for naught.
Even so, he had this basis to work on, making the completion much easier.
Moreover, whether he was training or in war, Wang Chong had actually been pondering this question since his reincarnation.
Although it had not succeeded, it had pointed him in the right direction.
Just as he had predicted, with countless people assisting him, he finally succeeded in creating the Nine Provinces Universal Formation.
This formation used the Central Plains as its core and encompassed all of the world. This formation used the energy of the earth to empower the entire human army and simultaneously suppress the Celestial Army.
In this plan, the Formation Elder and the Nine Cauldrons played crucial roles.
In each of those dazzling pillars of light the Celestial God Organization had seen was one of the Nine Cauldrons.
These cauldrons had all been installed beforehand, and they were difficult to detect by the Celestial God Organization until they were activated.
This was why all of them had needed to be so patient.
The Great Tang currently controlled the entire continent, and everyone on this land was a subject of the Great Tang. This was why the Nine Cauldrons were able to be installed in various locations without drawing any attention.
Even the Celestial Army could not hold off the vast earth energy of the entire continent.
“Killkillkill!”
The human soldiers yelled out as they sensed the changes flowing through their bodies. Their morale soared, and they lunged at the Celestial Army like tigers.
That’s all I can do. The rest will depend on you, the Formation Elder said silently atop the high steel platform, his robes and hair being tossed about by the wind.
This battle had brought together the intelligence of the hundreds of millions of people on the continent—not just the human soldiers in front of him, but also the power of the now-slumbering Master Guangcheng.
Master Guangcheng was now the earth veins of the continent, and it was precisely because of the brand he had left that they could complete what should have been impossible.
They had gathered together the strength of so many people, even the strength of the world. If not even this could defeat Heaven and the Celestial God Organization, then the human world would never be able to topple these so-called gods.
All of humanity would become their slaves.
Roooar!
Suddenly, a roar infused with brutal savagery and a desire to destroy came from the depths of the earth.
This roar was infused with immense strength, the sound wave alone enough to make the earth quake and cracks spread across the surface. Even the steel platform that the Formation Elder stood on began to tremble.
Roooar!
As the roars continued, red light began to erupt from the cracks.
Boom! A scorching wave of heat erupted from the depths of the earth, and in the middle of this wave of heat, a black-red arm made of lava emerged.
Following it was a head made of lava, topped by two savage black-red horns.
Neigh!
When this black-red monster appeared, all the war horses neighed in fright.
Even the Doomsday Beasts that were battling with the King Apes hissed in alarm, sensing an enormous threat from this newcomer.
“The Ifrit King!”
Gao Xianzhi smiled upon seeing this enormous being.
He had been with Wang Chong in the war to vanquish Arabia, and he also knew about what had been found beneath Khatabah’s city. This Ifrit King had been obtained from there.
Wang Chong had never been one to disappoint. At the most intense moment of the battle, he had succeeded in completing the Ifrit King and releasing it onto the battlefield.
This Ifrit was much larger than Khatabah’s. Its head alone was as thick as the torso of that Ifrit from the war of the northwest. Even the Doomsday Behemoths were not much larger than it.
And it was much larger than the Archaic Celestial Army soldiers.
Its most unique trait was the several horns on its head. From a distance, the small set of horns in the middle of its head appeared like a circle of thorns, like it was wearing a crown.
This was the Ifrit King’s unique symbol.
With the head of the Ifrit King out, it swiftly extricated the rest of its massive body from the fissure. In the middle of the battlefield, it appeared like an impassable mountain of flames.
Amidst churning smoke and raging flames, a violent aura spread over the battlefield.
After emerging on the battlefield, the Ifrit King turned to the Doomsday Behemoths and began to stride over. With each step, lava gushed out and the earth trembled.
On the other end, the Doomsday Behemoths became wary, one of them instinctively backing away.
But very quickly, that nine-headed monster had to put aside the King Apes and six-armed Garudas on its body. It furiously bellowed and then spat golden flames at the Ifrit King.
The nine gouts of flame almost simultaneously struck the Ifrit King.
But the expected explosion did not take place, and the scorching flames and poisonous gas disappeared into the Ifrit King’s body without a trace.
