The Great Ruler

Chapter 873 - Four Spiritual Battle Formation

The land enveloped in darkness was spreading with rotten aura and white bones could be vaguely seen beneath the soil with sinister-looking cracks filling the ground. One could only imagine the intense battle had taken place in the ancient times. action

After the massive army broke through the defences of the outer section, they had entered an empty zone that was between the outer and inner sections. None of the zombie warriors of the outer section had taken a step in this area. Furthermore, since they had lost their consciousness, they wouldn’t launch their attacks towards the army that had made their way in anymore.

The massive allied forces also had to rest as well.

While the allied forces were resting, the heads of various forces had look up ahead with grave expressions. The area was covered in darkness and others couldn’t see the scenery within it. However, everyone had felt a terrifying pressure emanating from the darkness. It was a pressure that made even the countenances of Sixth Grade Sovereigns couldn’t stop from changing.

Everyone was clear that within that darkness, there was the most dangerous place in the Death Ruin, the Four Spiritual Battle Formation!

At the front of the allied forces, Zhantai Liuli looked at the darkness and her gaze flickered. A brief moment later, she turned around and revealed a smile, “Everyone has spent such a great price to send us here. So now, it’s time for us to move out.”

Hearing Zhantai Liuli’s words, the other forces had looked at Mu Chen and Xiao Tian as well. Although they did not speak a word, the urgency and expectations in their eyes couldn’t be concealed.

Although Zhantai Liuli’s leadership was excellent when they faced the outer section, all the forces had suffered casualties but the three peak forces suffered the least, and the reason Zhantai Liuli gave was that they needed to conserve their strength to deal with the Four Spiritual Battle Formation.

But now that they had made their way through the outer section, it’s up to the three peak forces now to try and destroy the Battle Formation just as how Zhantai Liuli explained it earlier.

Mu Chen had also sensed those urgent gazes and the corner of his lips gently lifted. It seems that if they were to fail in destroying the Four Spiritual Battle Formation, these forces would probably be enraged. But since this matter was started by Zhantai Liuli, the rage wouldn’t affect their Great Havenlaw Domain at that time.

As Mu Chen pondered in his heart, he cast a glance at Zhantai Liuli. The latter still maintained a warm and light smile with a calm expression. She wasn’t feeling any pressure from the other forces.

That left Mu Chen a little surprised. Can it be that Zhantai Liuli is that confident in destroying the Four Spiritual Battle Formation?

Boom!

Just as those thoughts flashed in Mu Chen’s mind, a thunderous noise abruptly rang out from deep within the darkness, attracting everyone’s attention and they immediately raised their heads. Instantly, their faces changed when they saw that the depths of the darkness was boiling at this moment and the darkness seemed to be retracting, bit by bit.

Along with the darkness retreating, everyone’s pupils suddenly narrowed.

When the darkness disappeared, the first thing that entered everyone’s eyes was a densely packed army of darkness that stretched out to the end of their sight. They were like javelins that quietly stood towering over the plains of darkness they emitted ancient.

This massive army was spread out on the plain and could be vaguely seen split into four areas. The formation that seemed to have been casual made the Mountain Splitting King and the other Kings feel a chill throughout their bodies when they looked over. It’s as if they felt a threatening danger.

This army before them was probably the real Four Spiritual Army! The army that belonged to the Sky Formation Emperor!

Buzz!

Just when everyone was shocked by the army of darkness, this area suddenly started to tremble. Thereafter, everyone could see the army that initially stood like statues on this plain was starting to slowly open their eyes that seemed to have been closed for tens of thousands of years.

Boom!

When that army opened their eyes, a splendor flashed from their depths. It was the thirst for battle. They were battle maniacs when they were alive, and even in their death, they would still be feverish for battle.

In that instant, a myriad feet of a dense black Battle Will ocean swept out from that army, causing the entirety of the heavens and earth to tremble from it.

Rumble!

Battle Will rippled like an ocean and space seemed to be emitting creaking noises from not being able to bear the pressure. Even Mu Chen, Zhantai Liuli and Xiao Tian had their faces changed from the boundless Battle Will.

“What terrifying Battle Will!” The heads of the other forces exclaimed in surprise, with fear on their faces. Even a Seventh Grade Sovereign wouldn’t have an easy time escaping upon falling within.

Zhantai Liuli balled her hands into tight fists and had fixed her gaze on that army. Even someone as composed as her couldn’t help having her face filled with solemnness.

Whoosh!

Just when they were all shocked by the sight, the vast Battle Will of the Four Spiritual Army changed. A black light had spread out, forming into four square light barriers that were myriads of feet high.

Those light barriers had enveloped in four directions of the army and were filled with profound runes that interlinked with one another as they emitted an extremely profound and mysterious undulation.

Looking at this sight, Mu Chen squinted his eyes and could see a troop in each of those four light barriers. But because of their Battle Wills, he couldn’t get a clear look of those troops.

This should be the Four Spiritual Battle Formation, just that this Battle Formation seemed to be inactive at this moment. Therefore, Mu Chen also couldn’t determine how powerful it was.

“Everyone, this before us is the Four Spiritual Battle Formation. As long as we can destroy it, the Death Ruin will be declared broken and this zombie army will also be purified. That will be our time to harvest.” Zhantai Liuli looked at everyone and revealed a light smile.

“Miss Zhantai, are you truly confident in breaking this formation?” A leader of a force couldn’t help speaking out. After seeing the might of this Four Spiritual Battle Formation, even he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.

“Do we have any other choice?” Zhantai Liuli smiled, “This Four Spiritual Battle Formation is indeed extraordinary, but all of you don’t have to be so worried. After all, the warriors are all dead and their might has been greatly decreased. Therefore, it’s not impossible for us to succeed.”

“Naturally, I will need the help of King Mu and Commander Xiao Tian to destroy it.” Zhantai Liuli looked at Mu Chen and Xiao Tian.

“Heh, I do want to see how powerful this so-called ‘Four Spiritual Battle Formation’ is!” Xiao Tian laughed out coldly.

Mu Chen cast a glance at Zhantai Liuli as his gaze flickered. “Then, what does Miss Zhantai think we should do?”

Zhantai Liuli looked at the other forces and said, “I wonder who will the three commanders be? Has everyone made their choices?”

Hearing her words, the other forces had nodded their heads. Thereafter, three people stood out, it was three people with sharp gazes. They were all the most powerful Commanders of their own respective forces. Although they couldn’t be compared to geniuses like Mu Chen, they couldn’t be underestimated.

“Then the fourth Battle Formation will be left to the three of you.”

Zhantai Liuli nodded her head towards the three people, before looking at Mu Chen and Xiao Tian. “You can only enter with your troops, there’s no limit to the amount. This Four Spiritual Battle Formation will counter the strong with the strong, but due to the fact that it isn’t controlled by anyone, the experts with too powerful fluctuations on them can’t follow the troops. Otherwise, it will cause this Four Spiritual Battle Formation to be even more powerful.”

Mu Chen was stunned, before exchanging a glance with Nine Nether and the rest. According to Zhantai Liuli’s words, those like Nine Nether and the Kings with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations on them couldn’t enter with them.

The Kings exchanged a look and briefly pondered, before nodding their heads and looked at Mu Chen. “Since that’s the case, then King Mu can command our troops as you wish if there’s a need, as long as you be more careful.”

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head and cupped his hands.

“Are there any other problems?” Zhantai Liuli chuckled.

Everyone shook their heads.

“Since that’s the case, then let us be prepared to move out. Let’s hope that we can destroy this array.” Zhantai Liuli lightly smiled as she further added on, “Since this allied force was started by my Divine Pavilion, then let us take the initiative.”

Finishing her words, she turned around and was about to lead the army of the Divine Pavilion into the Battle Formation.

“Wait!”

However, just when Zhantai Liuli was about to move, a voice suddenly resounded. Everyone was stunned. They all looked at the source of the voice and saw Xiao Tian looking at Zhantai Liuli with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression.

Zhantai Liuli slightly knitted her brows as she looked at Xiao Tian and said with slight unhappiness, “What’s your intention?”

“Miss Zhantai has contributed so much information. If you are to be the first one to go, then it’d be too much on us. So I think you should let me go first.” Xiao Tian laughed.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen’s gaze slightly flickered. It looked like Xiao Tian had some slight doubt about Zhantai Liuli.

Zhantai Liuli’s face was slightly dark.

“Miss Zhantai is not willing? Can it be there’s any reason behind it that we’re unsure of?” Xiao Tian laughed.

Everyone in the surroundings shot their gazes over and looked at Zhantai Liuli with doubts in their eyes. After all, Zhantai Liuli had always been the one leading, so they couldn’t help doubting if Zhantai Liuli was still hiding anything from them.

Under everyone’s gazes, Zhantai Liuli lightly pushed her rosy lips and smiled.

“Since Commander Xiao Tian has the courage, then go ahead.”
