”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.
