The dark land was permeated with a decaying aura. One could vaguely see dense white bones that were revealed under the soil. The ground was also covered with ferocious cracks. From this, one could imagine just how intense a battle had erupted in this place during the ancient times.
After breaking through the blockade of the outer army, the massive allied army entered the open space between the outer army and the inner army. The soldiers of the outer army didn't step foot in this area again. Moreover, since they had lost their consciousness, they obviously wouldn't attack the massive allied army that had barged in.
Thus, the massive allied forces were able to obtain some time to rest.
However, while the allied forces were resting, the leaders of the various forces had solemn expressions as they looked up ahead. There were layers of darkness that made it impossible for anyone to see the scene within. However, everyone could sense the terrifying pressure that was spreading out from the darkness. The pressure made even some Sixth Grade Sovereigns involuntarily change their expressions.
Everyone was clearly aware that the most dangerous place in the Ruins of Death was definitely hidden within the darkness, and it was the Four Spirit Battle Formation!
It was a genuine battle formation. Even after tens of thousands of years, the might of the battle formation still remained and no one dared to belittle it.
Standing before the allied forces, Zhantai Liuli's gaze was also directed at the darkness as her eyes lightly flickered. A brief moment later, she turned her head over and lightly smiled in the direction of Mu Chen and Xiao Tian. "Since everyone has spent such a great price to send us here, then we might have to make a move next."
Hearing Zhantai Liuli's words, the leaders of the other forces couldn't help looking at Mu Chen and Xiao Tian. Although they did not say anything, the urgency and expectation in their eyes couldn't be concealed.
Although they had Zhantai Liuli's perfect command when they charged into the outer troops, aside from the three peak forces, the other forces had suffered some losses. On the contrary, the three peak forces had suffered some losses.
On the other hand, the three peak forces had suffered the least losses. The reason that Zhantai Liuli had given them was that they needed to prepare for the Four Spiritual Battle Formation, so they needed to accumulate their strength.
Now that the outer troops had charged in, it would be up to the peak forces to see if they could really break the Four Spiritual Battle Formation like what Zhantai Liuli had said.
Mu Chen had also sensed the many anxious gazes.
Immediately, the corner of his lips was cast aside.
If they failed to break the Four Spiritual Battle Formation, then they would probably feel resentment in their hearts. But since this matter was led by Zhantai Liuli, then their resentment wouldn't be directed towards their Great Heaven Domain.
Mu Chen pondered in his heart as he cast a glance at Zhantai Liuli. The latter still had a gentle smile on her face. Her expression was calm, without the slightest pressure from the other forces.
She didn't have any apprehension.
This made Mu Chen a little surprised. Could it be that Zhantai Liuli was really that confident to break the Four Spiritual Battle Formation?
Boom!
Just as this thought flashed in Mu Chen's heart, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the depths of the dark plains, causing everyone to raise their heads in alarm.
Their expressions immediately changed as they saw the darkness that enveloped the depths of the plains rumble. The darkness seemed to be receding little by little.
As the darkness receded, everyone's eyes widened.
Their pupils abruptly shrank.
When the darkness receded, the first thing that entered everyone's eyes was the densely packed army of darkness that stretched to the end of their sight. They were like javelins, quietly standing on the dark plains, emitting an ancient aura from their bodies.
As though it had been since ancient times.
In terms of quantity, this army was far inferior to the foreign army from before. But when everyone saw this army that was as silent as a statue, they even felt a little difficult to breathe.
That massive army spread out on the vast plains and could vaguely be seen. They seemed to be divided into four regions. That formation made even the Mountain Splitting King and the rest feel a chill down their spines when they looked over, as if they had sensed a fatal crisis.
This army before them was probably the genuine Four Spiritual Army!
This was the army that belonged to the Sky Formation Emperor!
Buzz!
While everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Darkness Army, the land suddenly trembled. After which, everyone was shocked to see that the army, which was standing like statues on the plains, had slowly opened their eyes, which seemed to have been shut for tens of thousands of years.
Boom!
When that army opened their eyes, there was a lustre flashing in their sunken eyes. It was the thirst for battle. They were born to fight, and even after death, they would still be fanatical for battle.
In that instant, boundless black Battle Will swept out like a myriad foot high tsunami, causing the entire heavens and earth to tremble under the terrifying Battle Will.
Rumble!
The Battle Will rippled like an ocean, causing creaking noises to come from space. Even Mu Chen, Zhantai Liuli, Xiao Tian and the rest couldn't help having a change in their expressions from the boundless Battle Will.
"What terrifying Battle Will!"
The heads of the other forces exclaimed with fear on their faces. Even a Seventh Grade Sovereign might not be able to escape from this Battle Will.
Zhantai Liuli clenched her fists as she looked at the massive army. Even someone as calm as her had a grave expression on her face at this moment.
Whoosh!
While they were shocked, the boundless Battle Will in the sky of the Four Spiritual Army had changed once again. A black lustre spread out, forming into four light screens that were roughly a few myriad feet in size.
The light screen enveloped the four directions of the army. The light screen was filled with mysterious light runes that were connected to each other, emitting a mysterious and unfathomable fluctuation.
Mu Chen's eyes slightly narrowed at this scene. He could see that there seemed to be a hidden army in each of the four light screens. But due to the Battle Will spreading out, he couldn't clearly see through it.
This should be the so-called "Four Spiritual Battle Formation". However, as of now, this Battle Formation had yet to be activated. Therefore, Mu Chen was unable to determine exactly how powerful it was.
"Everyone, this is the" Four Spirits Battle Formation "in front of us.
As long as we can destroy it, the Death Ruin will be destroyed and the zombie army will be cleansed. At that time, it will be our time to reap our harvest. "Zhantai Liuli looked at everyone as she lightly smiled.
"Miss Zhantai, are you really confident in destroying this Battle Formation?"
One of the leaders couldn't help asking. After witnessing the majesty of the Four Spiritual Battle Formation, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Do we have any other choice?" Zhantai Liuli smiled. "This Four Spiritual Battle Formation is indeed extraordinary.
But you guys don't have to be too worried. After all, the warriors here are already dead.
The power of this Battle Formation has been greatly weakened, so it's not impossible for us to succeed. "
"Naturally, we will need the help of King Mu and Commander Xiao Tian if we want to destroy it." Zhantai Liuli looked at Mu Chen and Xiao Tian.
"Heh, I want to try and see just how powerful this so-called Four Spirits Battle Formation is!" Xiao Tian grinned coldly.
Mu Chen looked at Zhantai Liuli with his gaze flickering. "What should we do according to Miss Zhantai's suggestion?"
Zhantai Liuli looked at the other forces.
"I wonder if the three commanders of the fourth formation have chosen a good candidate?"
When the other forces heard his words, they nodded their heads and three people walked out. They were three men with sharp gazes. They were the strongest commanders of their respective forces. Although their control over Battle Will was inferior to Battle Will geniuses like Mu Chen and the rest, they were still the strongest commanders of their respective forces.
However, it was not to be underestimated.
"Then I'll leave the fourth battle to the three of you."
Zhantai Liuli nodded her head at the four of them before her beautiful eyes turned towards Mu Chen and the rest, "This time, you can only lead your own troops in. There is no limit to the size of your troops, because the Battle Formation of the Four Spiritual Beasts will only become stronger the stronger you are.
Fortunately, there's no one controlling it now, so experts with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations can't follow the army. Otherwise, the Four Spirit Battle Formation will automatically increase in power. "
Mu Chen was slightly startled. He glanced at them and followed Zhantai Liuli's instructions.
In this battle, Jiu You, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest, who possessed powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations, can't enter.
The Mountain Splitting King and the rest exchanged a look and briefly pondered, before nodding their heads. "Since that's the case, if King Mu has a need, our troops will be at your disposal. But you have to be careful."
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head and cupped his fists in gratitude.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Zhantai Liuli chuckled.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Since that's the case, then let us get ready to move out. I hope that we can join hands to break the formation."
Zhantai Liuli lightly smiled. "Since the allied forces are mobilized by my Divine Pavilion, then let my Divine Pavilion be the vanguard in this battle."
When she finished speaking, she turned around and was prepared to lead the Divine Pavilion's army into the formation.
"Wait!"
But just when Zhantai Liuli was about to move out, a voice suddenly resounded. Everyone was stunned as they directed their gazes over 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 unhappily said, "What's the meaning of this?"
"Miss Zhantai has already contributed so much information. If we still let you be the vanguard, then we'll be going too far. So I think that I'll be the first to enter the formation." Xiao Tian grinned.
When Mu Chen heard his words, his gaze flickered. Xiao Tian was also doubting Zhantai Liuli.
Zhantai Liuli's face sank.
"Miss Zhantai isn't willing?
Could it be that there's a reason that we don't know? "Xiao Tian smiled.
The surrounding gazes were also directed over. They were all from Zhantai Liuli with a trace of doubt in the depths of her eyes. After all, the leader this time was Zhantai Liuli, so everyone couldn't help but suspect if she had told them everything.
Under everyone's gazes, Zhantai Liuli pursed her lips and faintly smiled.
"Since Commander Xiao Tian is so courageous, then you'll be the one to do it."
