Chapter 1061: Massive Defeat
The five first-grade totems roared in succession. In terms of momentum and power fluctuations, they were comparable to an Immortal!
“Hmm... why does this formation have similarities to the Ten Thousand Beast Banner? Is it an inheritance left behind by the Pantheon Catalog’s master?”
Fang Yuan mixed into the Azure Dragon Formation, and his clam totem seemed to go all out.
In reality, he only exerted a tenth of his strength. The rest of his energy was on observing the battlefield.
He even had the leisure to let his thoughts drift.
“The Ten Thousand Beast Banner’s Ten Thousand Beast Fusion Technique is the refinement version, and this is a battle formation technique... After comparing them, the refinement technique is a bit more exquisite.”
After looking it over several times, Fang Yuan had a speculation. “Perhaps some barbarian Immortal obtained the Ten Thousand Beast Banner’s refinement technique golden page, and after experimenting with it, they came up with this battle formation!”
No matter how good the Ten Thousand Beast Banner was, it was just a dao artifact. Perhaps it could advance to an immortal artifact in the future. However, compared to this ten-thousand-man formation, its power was lacking.
“Ten Thousand Beast Banner excels at single-target offense. And while this great formation is a bit too rudimentary, its power is amazing!”
Fang Yuan listened to the army commander’s orders while the enormous Azure Dragon transformation advanced.
“Front formation gather, Nine-Stream Yellow River!”
Over ten thousand cultivators pulled out their array flags. Yellow streams emerged, forming a heavenly river array that enveloped the Azure Dragon.
“Destroy!” the army commander roared angrily above the dragon’s horns.
The Azure Dragon roared and swung its claws into the river.
The Nine-Stream Yellow River Formation turned stagnant, but it continued to operate unhindered.
The same formations appeared in different directions to trap the other giant beast totems.
Brutal Child and the other Immortals felt their heart tremble when they saw this.
Opposite them, Xuan Yuanzi and the others’ voice transmission asked, “So? Brutal Child, aren’t you going to surrender?”
At the Immortal level, the three of them were enough to fight against Brutal Child’s group of three great barbarian patriarchs. They might even be slightly stronger.
At this time, the five fierce beasts transformed by the barbarian army were also blocked. It was clear that the cultivators had the upper hand.
“We’ll only know if it’s a victory or a defeat after we fight!” Patriarch Brutal Extinction shouted.
At the same time, the hazy illusory image of a broken river emerged from him.
Within the formation, Fang Yuan gasped. “Is this... the power of an incomplete Great Dao? As expected. If an Immortal wants to go further, they must grasp a true Great Dao?”
Only by comprehending a complete set of nomological laws could you become qualified to face the lightning tribulation and become an Immortal.
If an Immortal wanted to advance, they had to sublimate their nomological laws into a Great Dao!
At this point, Fang Yuan only wanted to laugh aloud. He was no longer confused about his future cultivation path.
“Brutal Extinction, how could we brothers let you down?”
Brutal Child and Brutal Emperor laughed heartily, and Great Dao illusory images appeared.
“Sigh... why bother?”
Kun Lunzi and the two Immortals looked regretful as they simultaneously formed hand seals.
Behind them, a bright heavenly gate surfaced. It was purple, and auspicious clouds surrounded it, full of propitious Qi.
“An Immortal joint formation technique?”
Brutal Child’s expression turned serious.
The outside cultivators did not have the magical powers of a materialization. They could only use their skills to their limits, and they exceeded Barbarians in all kinds of technical aspects.
Especially after their lightning tribulation, they were reborn. In the Immortal realm, there was very little difference between them.
On the other hand, barbarians relied on their innate skills. It became apparent at this time that their techniques were below the outside Immortals.
These three Immortals used a mystic technique to combine the comprehension of their nomological laws and the power of their incomplete Great Daos to create a terrifying heavenly gate that increased their powers significantly.
“Detestable!” The terrifying pressure changed the three barbarian patriarchs’ expressions. “After the techniques from the outside world reach the Immortal level, they basically won’t lose to peerless magical powers!”
...
Just as the two armies began their fight on the Death Plains...
Agonizing Eagle Gorge.
Within the Moonview tribe’s two military divisions.
An Apotheosis realm elder arrived at the military camp with a complicated expression. “It’s been three hundred years since the patriarch displayed his great magical power and seized a body for me. After being undercover for three hundred years, I have a lingering affection. But...”
He gritted his teeth before leaving the camp.
There were a few people like him in the Agonizing Eagle Gorge and the Golden River.
Not long after they left, several streaks of light bombarded the military camp from the sky. All kinds of battle patterns appeared on the defensive arrays.
Splash!
These attacks seemed to be alive as they sought the weaknesses and flaws in the defenses.
Soon, several defenses fell apart.
At the same time, skyships cruised through the sky. An overwhelming Demon Dao army in black robes descended.
“The camp’s arrays were arranged by Immortal Patriarchs. How could they fall so easily?”
With a flash of saber light, hundreds of cultivators lost their heads with looks of disbelief on their faces.
Mo He sheathed his saber while watching this unfold. His expression turned serious. “Our camp has been breached, and they targeted our weaknesses. Furthermore, the tribe’s morale has plummeted. This attack by the Demon Dao cultivators will undoubtedly be successful. But the crucial point is that there’s a spy among us!”
With his cultivation base, his thoughts surpassed ordinary men, and he immediately understood what had happened. “These demon cultivators are really sly. They must’ve prepared a long time for this day. We have to leave!”
While watching the skyships land, Mo He transformed into a saber light and disappeared, leaving the camp in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, loud explosions and the screams of barbarian soldiers ensued. Mo He gripped his saber.
He knew that the opponents had invested heavy thought and effort into this plan and had more arrangements in other places. The Golden River and the Agonizing Eagle Gorge were lost. The remaining barbarian army on the Death Plains had to retreat, even if they could still support it.
“A great loss. An unprecedented defeat!” Mo He’s expression was cold. “Most importantly, there are spies among the top ranks... How is this possible?”
If someone from the outside world kidnapped a barbarian, they would not obtain an important position even if they returned to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Although barbarians were simple-minded, they were not stupid. They understood the importance of clean backgrounds.
The real secret had to lay in the selection of barbarians into the Barbarian Palace from a young age. Only these people who grew up in the Holy Mountain could come into contact with the upper echelons.
This was hard for Mo He to believe.
What method did they use to convince the upper echelons to betray the barbarians?
...
“Tsk Tsk... We have finally entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains!”
Matters continued to escalate. The barbarian patriarchs who guarded the Agonizing Eagle Gorge issued a retreat. The cultivators chased them down for 150 kilometers before finally stopping.
On a skyship, a black-robed, green-haired, middle-aged man breathed in excitedly. “What a lively aura... Send out orders to bring the Soul-Searching Scrolls and Myriad Soul Gourds. Fill them up!”
“How could we give such a good place up to the Kun Yun Sect? Hehe. According to our agreement, we’ll conquer the Agonizing Eagle Gorge and occupy as much land as we can!”
The middle-aged man’s eyes seemed to have a green glow. The skyship shook before coming to a halt above a tribe.
“Five Ghosts of the Five Directions, listen to my command. Souls, gather!”
His expression was indifferent as he waved gently.
Below, the barbarians were suddenly stunned before falling lifelessly to the ground.
Illusory souls surfaced from their bodies. As though a terrifying vortex was sucking them up, the souls flew into the sky and landed in the middle-aged man’s hands.
“Haha... as expected of the barbarians. Their spirit essences are much stronger than that of ordinary people. One is equivalent to ten from the outside world. If it is a cultivator’s, it’s equivalent to a hundred spirit essences!”
The middle-aged man laughed heartily. “With this treasured land, my Dao will succeed!”
...
The Death Plains.
The battlefield was getting ever more critical.
Under the attacks of the five fierce beasts, even if they had formations protecting them, the cultivators suffered heavy casualties. Of course, the illusory totem phantoms were gradually getting fainter. Once they collapsed, the barbarians caught inside the formations would immediately fall into desperate straits!
In the sky, the purple heavenly gate’s radiance shone, overwhelming the area.
Brutal Child and the other barbarian patriarchs activated their techniques simultaneously. Their materializations appeared, but they were not a match for the gate.
“Not good!” Brutal Child was standing atop a three-thousand-meter long centipede when his expression suddenly changed. He pulled out a piece of blood jade. “The Agonizing Eagle Gorge was breached by the Revenant Soul Sect. The Golden River is in imminent danger!”
“What?” Brutal Emperor and Brutal Extinction immediately became sad and indignant. “Those damned cultivators!”
The barbarians had always been at odds with the cultivators and demon cultivators.
In the outside world, the resentment between the cultivators and the demon cultivators ran even deeper.
Therefore, the three barbarian patriarchs were caught in this mindset. They could not believe that the cultivators would join hands with the Demon Dao to conquer the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
A single misstep would cause them to lose it all. Time was of the essence.
The cultivators already had the upper-hand. Now, their advantage increased significantly, almost setting their victory in stone.
“Withdraw quickly!”
Brutal Child gritted his teeth and sent out the retreat signal.
“Big Bro?!” Patriarchs Brutal Extinction and Brutal Emperor were anxious, furious, and extremely unwilling.
“The Hundred Thousand Mountains is ours after all. They won’t be able to hold their ground for long!”
Even though Brutal Child had a small body, he was the leader of the three. With one command, the other two followed his order no matter how unwilling they were.
“Withdraw!”
Brutal Emperor and Brutal Extinction exchanged glances before mystical lights fell on the formations below them.
Roar Roar!
Amid ferocious roars, the five fierce beasts broke out of the formations with their bodies looking tattered. With one look, it was clear that they had reached their limits.
They just made it outside before they shattered, exposing tens of thousands of barbarians inside.
“Haha... Three barbarian patriarchs, victory has yet to be decided. Where are you going?” Xuan Yuanzi and the other two immediately chased after them, entangling the three barbarian Immortals firmly, and ordered, “Kill all the barbarians. Do not leave a single one alive!”
Swoosh!
Below, flying swords and materializations flew. Talismans, Gu worms, arrays... all kinds of cultivation techniques rushed at the barbarians.
“Tsk Tsk!” Seeing this, Fang Yuan shook his head. “The barbarians lost!”
He let out a long sigh as the light in front of his chest glowed.
Swoosh!
He transformed into a streak of light and burrowed into the ground. In an instant, he traveled dozens of kilometers away.
“Earth Escape Spirit Talisman, the upgraded version of Earth Escape Magic Talisman and also a treasure of the Pantheon Palace. I used five at once, taking me hundreds of kilometers away!”
Without these as insurance, Fang Yuan would not have come to this battlefield!
