“This is the energy of the mountains and rivers! You laid down another formation to draw in the energy of the mountains and rivers . ”

For the first time, Hou Junji felt pressured by Wang Chong’s forces .

He had never imagined that Wang Chong would lay down another formation besides the Origin Immortal Formation that would use the energy of the mountains and rivers as an energy source . The intelligence and ability Wang Chong had displayed through this move made him an opponent that he needed to take seriously .

“Heh, unlike Senior, I cannot use the Imperial City’s Three Emperors Formation, and the capital itself is too flat and devoid of anything to draw power from, so I could only think of a way to harness the power of the mountains and rivers on the outskirts . Fortunately, the capital has the Kunwu, Shenwei, and Longwei Training Camps, and also Gold Bull Mountain to the northwest . With the energy from these areas and from the smaller mountains and rivers, there’s just enough energy to be used for this battle!”

Wang Chong looked at Hou Junji and smiled .

The Formation Elder had worked a lot faster than he had expected . Speed was paramount in war, and at the end, he really had succeeded in laying down the Nine Heavens Mountain River Formation and drawing all the energy in the mountains and rivers of the capital toward this place .

Boom!

As Wang Chong spoke, the energy of the mountains and rivers thickened .

In the distance, the Energy Condensation Pearl was about to run dry despite the Lone Silence Ancestor’s efforts, but at this moment, torrents of violent energy howled through the air and thundered into the Energy Condensation Pearl .

The Energy Condensation Pearl, which had gone dim and been on the verge of dropping to the ground, immediately exploded with light, illuminating the darkness with a crimson hue as the vast energy of nature poured in .

As those torrents of energy poured in, the formation once more began to transmit its power to the Qian Gate, Center Gate, and Kun Gate .

“This… Wonderful!”

This was truly an unexpected surprise, and the Lone Silence Ancestor was so joyful that his entire body shook in excitement .

“Hahaha, Wang Chong, you truly didn’t disappoint me!”

Even though he didn’t know the exact details, the Lone Silence Ancestor knew without thinking that this was Wang Chong’s handiwork .

Bang!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Lone Silence Ancestor began to guide the energy of the mountains and rivers through the formation .

The Kun Gate!

Blood was trickling from the corner of Li Siye’s lips . He gripped his giant Wootz Steel sword, just barely managing to hold on .

“Get in there! All of you! I want him dead even if you have to use your lives to do it!”

Duan Zhuyan’s eyes were red as he viciously roared .

The Imperial Army soldiers cried until their voices were hoarse as they heedlessly charged at Li Siye . Li Siye was simply too strong and fierce, so Duan Zhuyan had decided to just wear him out .

Bang!

As Li Siye was slowly being drowned under waves and waves of soldiers, Duan Zhuyan thrust his spear, sending out a freezing stream of energy .

Crackcrack! Several dozen Mo Saber Unit soldiers, unable to dodge in time, were struck by the icy beam, and more than half their bodies were frozen .

And as Duan Zhuyan’s main target, Li Siye took on the majority of this freezing energy .

Cold energy created a thick layer of ice on his armor, and even a large chunk of his formless Stellar Energy was frozen .

Without the disruption and resistance of the Origin Immortal Formation, and with the energy sent from the core of his own formation growing more and more powerful, Duan Zhuyan was able to ever more freely use the power of the formation to attack Li Siye .

“An excellent chance!”

Seeing that Li Siye’s feet had been frozen to the ground, Duan Zhuyan felt the killing intent in his heart erupt .

“Primeval Zhuyan!”

With a draconic roar, Duan Zhuyan flew forward with his spear, fusing with his giant Zhuyan ape and hurtling toward Li Siye .

“Bastard! Despicable!”

As Li Siye sensed Duan Zhuyan’s oncoming attack, fury appeared in his eyes .

This was not the first time Duan Zhuyan had tried this . Each time, he would use the surrounding Imperial Army soldiers to wear him out so that he had a chance to make a killing blow .

Though Li Siye knew this man’s intentions, there was nothing he could do, and in order to shield the Mo Saber Unit, he was forced to step forward and take the enemy’s attacks .

Buzz!

Suddenly, as Duan Zhuyan was charging at Li Siye in the form of his massive Primeval Zhuyan, a golden torrent of energy surged into Li Siye’s body, bringing with it the power of the mountains and rivers .

Boom!

With a massive crash, the ice that had frozen Li Siye to the spot shattered . Not only that, this energy restored Li Siye’s Stellar Energy and caused it to surge to new heights .

Clangclangclang!

In a series of metallic clatters, golden halos emerged around Li Siye’s feet . At that moment, Li Siye could feel his strength, speed, and agility soar, and even his armor began to exude a dazzling light .

“What!?”

Duan Zhuyan was so shocked that his face instantly turned ghastly white!

“Hmph! My turn now!”

Li Siye looked up and coldly snorted, his body suddenly seething with cold killing intent .

A moment later, blinding Stellar Energy exploded from his body and struck all the Imperial Army soldiers charging at him .

“Aaaah!” All the soldiers screamed as they were knocked away .

Li Siye himself jumped into the air, his Wootz Steel sword striking Duan Zhuyan with the force of ten thousand jun .

“Aaaaah!”

Duan Zhuyan screamed as blood gushed out of his body . Li Siye’s strike had shattered the Stellar Energy barrier around him . He flew through the sky like a ragdoll before crashing to the ground .

The sword had struck with such force that Duan Zhuyan’s impact made the ground tremble .

Even those stone bricks reinforced by countless inscriptions and formations cracked all over .

“Kill!”

After knocking down Duan Zhuyan, Li Siye exploded forward .

Clangclangclang! Behind him, golden halos began to appear under the Mo Saber Unit soldiers as the Origin Immortal Formation boosted their strength . His men rallied, shouting as they raised their Mo Sabers high into the air and began to advance like a moving wall .

Boomboomboom!

This time, the Mo Saber Unit had the clear advantage, leaving chaos and mayhem in its wake . The Imperial Army soldiers were stricken with fear, either retreating or being cut down .

Just a few moments later, the Mo Saber Unit had pushed through the gate .

……

At the same time, at the Qian Gate…

The constant attacks and disruption of the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, paired with the attacks from Lu Qiongji’s Imperial Army, had forced Guo Ziyi’s Wushang Cavalry some two hundred feet back from the gate .

But at this moment, the earth trembled, and a vast torrent of energy arrived, transforming into golden halos that circled around the feet of his men .

These golden halos rapidly restored and boosted their Stellar Energies, and they even managed to completely push out the power of the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation .

“It’s the Origin Immortal Formation!”

“Our formation has finally recovered!”

Sensing the energy in their bodies, the Wushang Cavalry rallied . They knew without thinking that this was the work of their liege!

“Everyone, Cutting Formation! Kill!”

No one was more elated than Guo Ziyi . While he was strong, he was still lacking compared to a veteran general like Li Siye and could not hold out against the foe in an extremely disadvantageous situation .

But now that the formation was back, everything was different .

In the blink of an eye, Guo Ziyi was leading the several thousand Wushang Cavalry in a charge .

“Retreat! Hurry and retreat!”

The Imperial Army soldiers felt their pupils constrict in fear . No one had expected that just when they were about to overcome and rout their enemy, the situation would undergo a complete reversal .

“Damn! All of you, get in there!”

Lu Qiongji was infuriated . With a sweep of his spear, he cut down several of his panicked soldiers and led the men around him in a charge .

Boom!

The two armies clashed in the darkness .

There was a great clanging of weapons intersecting, but the Imperial Army soldiers were hard-pressed to resist the charge of the Wushang Cavalry . A single use of the Cutting Formation instantly scattered several hundred Imperial Army soldiers . Meanwhile, a similar scene was taking place at the Center Gate .

While the Center Gate didn’t have elites like the Wushang Cavalry or Mo Saber Unit, it had more soldiers, and they were all experts of the great clans, aided by one thousand cavalry with Wootz Steel swords . With the added boost of the three halos, this force packed a powerful punch .

“What’s going on? One hundred thousand can’t stop a mere few thousand?”

Huang Tianzhao’s heart was burning with rage . From the moment he had joined the First Prince, there was no going back for him . If the First Prince succeeded, he would be a Minister of the Dragon and be just like Wang Jiuling of the Wang Clan .

When the new emperor took the throne, all those who followed him would be made high nobles and ministers, enjoying limitless glory and fortune . But failure meant dying without a grave and one’s entire clan being exterminated!
