Formation!!

The same words made the Four Heavenly Kings nearly burst into laughter, but made the Three-Eyed God General increasingly uneasy. The Chen Qing he knew would never fight a battle without confidence. Considering the current situation, it was unlikely he was bluffing.

Yet, faced with the immense quality gap between the armies, he still ordered the soldiers to form an array. Those thousands of Four Holy Guards... thousands... Four Holy Guards?

The Three-Eyed suddenly realized, the Four Saints...

That’s right, how are the Four Holy Guards composed?

Ancient Demons paired with Four Holy Armors, those armors are made with Four Spirits Element, infinitely mimicking the human body. Then, allowing the Ancient Demons to parasitize them, thus exhibiting functions similar to modern exoskeleton armor.

This is Vermilion Bird City, Vermilion Bird City... Four Holy Guards, could it be... the sudden disappearance of the fire element just now was...

"Oh no!!"

The Three-Eyed God General quickly waved his hand, "Retreat!!"

But it was too late. As soon as Chen Qing’s voice for formation fell, the thousands of Four Holy Guards behind him exploded with terrifying flames, each possessing devastating energy that could illuminate the stars.

Indeed!

The Three-Eyed God General secretly exclaimed in dismay. The flames of Vermilion Bird City hadn’t disappeared but were instead controlled by Chen Qing through some means, and this controlled flame had transferred to these Four Holy Guards.

The armor of the Four Holy Guards naturally had Four Spirits attributes, almost infinitely compatible with the flames. Stronger armor meant a stronger parasitic Ancient Demon, a match made in heaven!

He never expected that the location chosen by Heaven’s Court was precisely Chen Qing’s desired battlefield!

"Originally thought you’d wage war in the Northern Sea, a place with the complex power dynamics of Xuanwu City. To lure you in would be extremely difficult, needing at least to stage a play, and probably costing many Warrior Army lives just for a chance. Yet, you chose the Southern Wilderness."

"That foolish old man, this must be his handiwork. He’s the only one who would make such a choice, but it’s fine..."

Chen Qing said softly, "Among your many powers, he deserved death the most. He’s lived enough over these years!"

As the words sounded, behind him, the Four Holy Guards began to restrain their qi and the intense fire element with them, forming a force that nearly completely overwhelmed the Heavenly King’s Army. The Four Heavenly Kings were dumbfounded, not understanding how this was done.

The Heavenly King’s Army at this moment lifted their seals, bursting forth as extraordinary first rank. Such an army was top in the world even at its peak — nothing in existence could completely overwhelm them.

If something could, that power would have long unified this world.

Thousands of Four Holy Guards could exert a force more powerful than a forty thousand Heavenly King Army, and there was only one possibility.

King Level!!

Dhrtarastra Heavenly King swallowed nervously, under immense pressure, using Divine Sense to observe the opponent’s reality.

Indeed... Every soldier possessed King-level power!

Eight thousand King-level!!

How was this possible?

King-level represents the pinnacle of biological energy, without Worldly Dao Fruit.

King-level is the biological limit in this game world, even at the initial phase of King-level it remains King-level.

Heaven’s Court had plundered the essence of this world for over a hundred million years, nurturing merely a hundred King-level beings, almost representing the limit of top forces.

And Chen Qing could suddenly produce eight thousand King-level warriors?

"You bunch, claiming conservatism yet daring to terrifying extremes. For the benefit of your data lives, you incited a third world war, nearly causing human extinction. Claiming you’re radical, once grasping an adequate foundation, you become scared to extreme levels.

A hundred million years, three entire eras, you’ve never once dared attempt to conquer the Land of Four Spirits, truly hard to understand you people. "

Chen Qing sighed, "Had you taken the Land of Four Spirits earlier, relying on the accumulation of these Four Great Elements, our emerging forces would scarcely be able to turn around. Alas, you lacked the courage..."

Amidst his words, Chen Qing waved his hand, the Deputy General of the Four Holy Army instantly understood. Filled with explosive energy, they felt they could defeat anything on earth, even if they were tasked to pierce the heavens, they believed they could accomplish it!

"Kill!!"

Eight thousand guards roared thunderously, their momentum overwhelming, nearly shattering the military formation of the forty thousand Heavenly King’s Army immediately, and then the Four Holy Army plunged like lions into sheep, an utterly one-sided massacre began.

"Retreat!"

The Three-Eyed God General unhesitantly commanded his forces to withdraw, a military array formed by eight thousand King-levels was beyond imagination, terrifying in nature, barely managing to stand under their prowess. This time would surely see massive calamity.

Chen Qing watched the Heaven’s Court army suffer devastating slaughter without surprise, King-level and extraordinary level representing an unbridgeable chasm, power disparity as great as ants versus giants.

Regular armies could oppose King-levels through formations, but even such formations with fewer than ten thousand extraordinary forces could not retain King-level experts.

Currently, what is eight thousand King-levels in reality?

This formation alone, even the combined forces of the Four Great Powers might struggle to oppose, Chen Qing bore such a trump card?

"Retreat!!"

The Four Heavenly Kings unhesitantly fled in panic. This retreat made the Three-Eyed lament at heart, as with the main generals fleeing, the formation’s maintenance crumbled. These four dimwits were indeed excessively fearful of death, it was over!

Maintaining calm and organizing half of the forces as rear protection, at least half should have been able to withdraw.

Certainly, this power of Chen Qing couldn’t last long; likely it couldn’t be taken out of Vermilion Bird City. Otherwise, relying solely on this force, he would have obliterated numerous great powers long ago, rather than waiting for today.

Chen Qing observed the Three-Eyed God General did not escape immediately but worked to organize formations, secretly sighing. Indeed, someone who could previously obstruct his true form instantly discerned his reality.

Indeed, this force couldn’t leave Vermilion Bird City.

If it could, Chen Qing ideally wished not to expose this power, reserved as an ambush against the Otherworldly Demon Statues, most suitable.

Yet exposure now rendered this force no longer terrifying, remaining powers including the Otherworldly Demon Statues would know to anticipate it.

Essentially a one-time trump card.

Yet, there was no choice. With Heaven’s Court pressing sharply, if they managed to secure the Southeast, Jiangnan would be precarious. Even if he could bring back the Warrior Army, facing Heaven’s Court’s forces similarly adept at formation, he held no chance of victory.

Only by striking first and heavily damaging Heaven’s Court’s main force could he buy time.

Fortunately, Elder Long selfishly sent all Four Otherworldly down. If it were only Three-Eyed here, he’d at most heavily damage half his troops, with threats persisting. This time, if most Heavenly King’s Army could be left here, then Heaven’s Court... could potentially be driven to a dead-end!!

At this thought, Chen Qing hesitated no longer, his shortsword unsheathed, a resounding sword cry shot skyward, directly targeting Three-Eyed!
