The Earth Sect expert and Yeon Gaesomun were both carrying ritual tools from the men in black. Thus, there was little doubt that Ozmish Khagan had one as well!
As this thought appeared in Wang Chong’s mind, he turned to look. As expected, a square box ritual tool floated above Ozmish Khagan’s head, covered in exquisite bronze inscriptions and spewing out smoke.
Three people, three ritual tools!
An Lushan and the men in black had prepared incredibly well for this war.
As he thought this…
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive boom came from the ground, a sound so loud that it drowned out the sound of their battle. Wang Chong turned to the source of the sound and saw that a new development had taken place on the battlefield while he had been fighting.
Rumble! In the rear of the collapsing Youzhou army, a sinister and ghostly energy was surging toward the heavens, and another massive formation began to take form.
Centered on Cui Qianyou and the Ghost Hell Army’s formation, the several hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Youzhou army arranged themselves into an immense and majestic formation!
Awooooo!
Thousands of ghosts howled, and strange figures appeared in the middle of seething black mist, roaring and struggling. At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Youzhou soldiers swelled in power. Not only that…
Rumble!
As the formation was completed, dark clouds roiled above the Youzhou army, lightning flashed, and another mythical world appeared.
This shadowy world was stalked by enormous and savage fiends and devils, and at their feet were hundreds of millions of hungry ghosts, white bones, flesh, and blood, all of it merged together into a hellish river of sin and evil.
Countless beings moaned in fear, pleading, and anger.
The ground cracked open, and countless gouts of sulfurous flame erupted from them, scorching those puny souls.
Hwooo! An evil wind angrily blew, and a demonic claw the size of a mountain descended and snatched at those puny creatures struggling on the ground as if they were mired in a swamp, casting them into a fanged maw. Elsewhere, clack! Clack! Giant wheels rolled back and forth across the ground, crushing everything in their path.
Farther up was a world of rumbling thunder and golden lightning, and at the highest point of this world, a giant deity looked upon the world with callous eyes of gold.
Wang Chong merely glanced at it and understood!
Formation phenomena!
This was an ancient formation that was similar to his Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation!
Wang Chong was extremely familiar with apex formation phenomena, because this was something he had worked step by step to comprehend.
But An Lushan had not gone through the same experiences!
Clearly, ‘Heaven’, or the men in black, had helped An Lushan by granting him this ancient battlefield art.
Boom!
The moment the formation was complete, this sinister and wicked formation immediately crashed into the Great Tang’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation.
It was impossible to describe that collision!
One was the number one formation of the apocalyptic era!
The other was a war formation that the Celestial God Organization had used to subjugate mortal dynasties!
These two formations had two different kinds of energy and were like two primordial beasts battling, tearing apart the world around them.
Whoosh!
Wang Chong’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation had been seemingly unstoppable, and already, one hundred thousand Goguryeons and Eastern Turks had fallen to it, but this time, it had finally encountered an opponent.
As the two formations collided, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation’s speed immediately slowed down.
“An Lushan, Ozmish, Yeon Gaesomun… so this is what you were relying on. But with just this, you want to rebel against the Great Tang, oppose the Central Plains? Naive!” Wang Chong coldly sneered.
With three ritual tools, three experts, and this mysterious information, and also the Yeluohe still waiting in the rear, Youzhou’s rebellion was not as hastily put together as it had seemed. Normally, this would have been enough to alter the power structure of the continent and even fulfill their wish to swallow up the Central Plains.
Alas, An Lushan’s opponent was him.
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation had brought together the intellect of everyone in the apocalyptic era, and it had reached the apex of formation power. Not even the powers wielded by the men in black could compare.
“Now, I will crush your hopes!”
Wang Chong’s expression chilled, his eyes flashing with harsh killing intent. A moment later, Wang Chong vanished as he lunged at Yeon Gaesomun and Ozmish Khagan.
During the feast of all countries, he had been able to destroy An Lushan’s three ritual tools, so today, he would do the same for Yeon Gaesomun and Ozmish Khagan.
“Careful!”
Ozmish Khagan and the others turned nervous. They swiftly closed together, pouring Stellar Energy into their ritual tools, and joined together to strike at Wang Chong.
Behind them, the remaining Earth Sect experts and the generals of the two empires unleashed their own energies, and ten-some streams of Stellar Energy lashed at Wang Chong like pythons.
“King of Foreign Lands, let this king play with you!”
The thundering of hooves rang out, and then a muscular figure jumped into battle.
The Khitan King, leading the elite experts from his tribe, had finally arrived.
Bang!
The energies of the two sides clashed, unleashing a massive shockwave and a storm of destructive energy. Regular alliance soldiers nearby instantly had their organs pulped by the explosion, dying on the spot.
But with the three ritual tools and their combined strength, they managed to stop Wang Chong’s immense strike.
“What a pity!”
In the distance, beneath the six banners, Gao Shang let out a long sigh.
“Truly a pity!”
An Lushan also let out a sigh.
Plans could not keep up with the times. The Allheaven Fiend Scourge Formation was their strongest formation and had been meant to be used against the Great Tang.
The two of them had gathered a great deal of information on Wang Chong, and they had known that Wang Chong had used formation phenomena at the Battle of Talas. But the Allheaven Fiend Scourge Formation that the men in black had provided should have been more than enough to deal with that level of formation phenomena.
The alliance had intended this formation to destroy Wang Chong.
No one had expected the situation to be reversed.
Wang Chong’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was completely suppressing Youzhou’s Allheaven Fiend Scourge Formation!
“Ozmish Khagan and the others should be able to hold against him for a while, but if we don’t think of a solution soon, the three gaps will be fully repaired!” Gao Shang said.
On the other side of the battlefield, countless Tang craftsmen were working away. Smoke and fire rose as steel modules were stacked atop each other with astonishing speed.
If they kept up this speed, it would take only one hour for the three gaps they had gone through so much effort to create to be repaired.
Time was on the Great Tang’s side!
At this moment, An Lushan and Gao Shang silently turned to the Divine Works Elder.
As these two silently stared, the Divine Works Elder’s face began to shift between green and purple.
The Divine Works Elder stomped and angrily said, “I know! But I’ve already told them to hurry up!”
He naturally understood that the two of them wanted the men in black to take action.
“Divine Works Elder, has the Venerable Genesis Supreme still not arrived?” An Lushan asked.
There was no need for this war to be so complicated. So long as Genesis Supreme took action and killed Wang Chong, the war would quickly conclude.
Rather than the Allheaven Fiend Scourge Formation, it was Genesis Supreme that was Youzhou’s greatest asset.
Genesis Supreme wanted to use An Lushan and his alliance, so why couldn’t An Lushan use a powerful ally like Genesis Supreme to help him out?
“Venerable Genesis Supreme is high above, and he is not someone either you or I can fathom. Since he said that he could appear at any time, then it must be the case. All we need to do is wait,” the Divine Works Elder coldly said.
The alliance had mobilized almost all its forces for this war, yet the men in black had sent only a few ordinary subordinates, so it was natural for An Lushan to want this. But Genesis Supreme had an extremely high status, and if An Lushan wanted him to entreat Genesis Supreme, he was delusional.
“Heh, Elder has misunderstood. We did not have this intention. Elder simply needs to get in touch with a few Divine Lords for me to help us deal with Zhang Shougui on the left flank and the Tongluo Great General on the right flank.”
Gao Shang smiled.
The Divine Works Elder clenched his teeth and said, “Very well! But I can only mobilize two Divine Lords. This is my limit!
“The organization lost too many Divine Lords to that Child of Destruction in previous battles. We cannot send too many for you!”
An Lushan and Gao Shang smiled as they spoke in unison. “Two is enough!”
The Divine Works Elder said no more. The current situation truly was very bad. Two-hundred-some half–Lu Wus and Asuras had infiltrated the fortress, but they had failed to cause the slightest stir, not even opening the gate. This was far too abnormal.
Although the Celestial God Organization truly did want to use An Lushan in this war of empires, it also could not continue to be a spectator.
