After making a few more arrangements, Wang Chong finally jumped down from the wall and began to make his way forward.

At the same time, behind the Center Gate, now that Wang Chong had finally begun to move, the situation began to shift.

Boom!

With no warning whatsoever, the earth began to tremble as if it couldn’t endure the attacks of the one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry. Energy gushed out from the depths of the Imperial Palace, and then a scarlet flame soared into the air, instantly engulfing the troops Wang Chong had sent into the Center Gate, including the one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry.

“Ah!”

“Not good! Hurry and use Stellar Energy to block!”

The Wootz Steel cavalry had held the upper hand, but the sudden eruption of flames had caught them off guard.

Hisss! The intense flames rapidly consumed their Stellar Energy, and some of the weaker clan experts could even feel their armor heating up.

The Eastern Palace had finally used the power of the formation.

“Master archers, fire!”

Chen Burang’s eyes flashed, and he immediately nocked an arrow and gave the order to fire. Thwishthwish! Arrows howled through the air, aimed between the gaps in the formation at the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Bang!

But a moment later, the formation’s power was mobilized again. Golden light surged out of the earth and wrapped around the Imperial Army soldiers.

In a flash, the several thousand soldiers closest to the gate became dazzling golden warriors.

Twangtwangtwang!

Those arrows wrapped in destructive power struck the golden soldiers, but there was only a metallic clatter as those arrows snapped and fell.

Not a single one of the several thousand Imperial Army soldiers was injured.

“This is impossible!

“What ability is this?”

Chen Burang was stunned. While he didn’t have many master archers under his command, they were all extremely strong, the cream of the crop.

Any one of them could fire several kilometers, and even at maximum range, their shots could shatter stones and even penetrate steel.

But in the face of these master archers, the enemy seemed to have been made of the finest steel, standing firm like the sturdiest wall and not even retreating half a step. Those arrows hadn’t even managed to penetrate half an inch.

This was simply inconceivable!

“Retreat!”

Wang Chong’s cold voice resounded in everyone’s ears. At that moment, Hou Junji’s Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation once more began to shift.

Crack! Clink! A frigid and sinister frost began to spread with astonishing speed out of the darkness. Wang Chong’s soldiers had barely begun to retreat when the temperature plunged. A wave of cold so thick that it seemed solid swept across the ground to engulf them.

One of the clan descendants was caught off guard and immediately had his legs frozen to the ground, and his face turned ghastly pale.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sole stomped down, and a destructive wave of energy burst forth. Just when that wave of icy energy was about to freeze the army, all the cold and ice was obliterated.

The one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry used this chance to escape the formation together with the other soldiers.

“Hahaha, King of Foreign Lands, everyone says that you’re the new War God of the Great Tang, but what is this? Do you not even dare to enter this Center Gate?”

Loud and arrogant laughter came from behind the Center Gate. It was Huang Tianzhao’s voice.

“Ha!”

Wang Chong simply chuckled. Huang Tianzhao still thought that he hadn’t seen through the trap and was trying to provoke him.

“General Huang, tell those people behind you that I’m still going to Taiji Palace, and I’m still passing through the Center Gate! But not now! And not through this method!”

Wang Chong’s voice was like a resounding bell, echoing in the space behind the Center Gate. Several hundred feet away, Huang Tianzhao, standing amongst the ranks of the Imperial Army, was astonished.

At the same time, several mysterious figures deep within the Imperial Palace also grimaced.

There was no doubt that Wang Chong had seen through their scheme.

After saying his piece, Wang Chong ignored Huang Tianzhao.

Whoosh!

He extended a hand, seizing twenty-four signal flags.

“Xu Keyi, take these twenty-four flags. Organize the men into forty teams of two hundred men each and then wait for my orders!”

“Yes!”

Xu Keyi quickly began to move, and Wang Chong’s nearly eight thousand men quickly divided into forty teams and dispersed.

The most important part about using signal flags was that one needed to understand what all the various signals meant and then act strictly as ordered. In this way, the army could be ordered around like an extension of one’s own body. Wang Chong had started developing this system in the war of the southwest, and it was extremely mature now. In addition, Wang Chong had also trained the soldiers of the great clans in this method.

Whoosh!

The eight thousand soldiers arranged themselves according to Wang Chong’s signals, and it wasn’t long before the eight gates of the formation took shape. With another wave of a signal flag, a formation was established in front of the Center Gate.

The Origin Immortal Formation contained immense power, but in order to utilize its full power and lay out the complete formation, one needed to meet strict requirements and an extremely long period of time. Wang Chong didn’t have this time, but the simplified Origin Immortal Formation using his army was more than enough.

“What is he trying to do?”

On the other side, Huang Tianzhao was constantly observing Wang Chong’s actions from his position in the rear. Wang Chong should have already charged in, but for some reason, he was engaging in these puzzling actions.

But Huang Tianzhao didn’t have to wait for long to have his questions answered.

Bang!

In the distance, Wang Chong took out a pearl and began to pour energy into it.

The glassy pearl exploded with light, so dazzling that it seemed like a miniature sun in the darkness.

Bang!

With a light toss, Wang Chong threw the Energy Condensation Pearl into the center of the army.

Rumble! Huang Tianzhao and the Imperial Army soldiers could only stare in shock as an invisible wave of energy blasted outward, instantly fusing the energies of Wang Chong’s soldiers together.

Clangclangclang!

The halos underneath the eight thousand soldiers began to resonate with each other, and their auras increased in power. While it wasn’t to the level of the boost provided by the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, it was still an astounding increase in power.

The diagram for the Origin Immortal Formation had been in Wang Chong’s hands for some time now. This formation had not possessed this ability initially, but with Wang Chong’s modifications, it could also boost the strength of one’s halos.

“This! A formation!”

Huang Tianzhao’s eyes flashed, and his mind was immediately thrown into turmoil. The Imperial Army had cast a tight net across the entire palace for this operation, and even the War God would find it difficult to break through.

But while he had anticipated many kinds of attacks, he had never expected a formation.

A formation to deal with a formation!

For a moment, Huang Tianzhao could not help but feel a little helpless and confused.

Bang!

A moment later, Wang Chong’s army swept forward, and the two armies clashed like savage beasts.

But this time, in this clash of forces, two different formations clashed as well.

Whoosh!

As Wang Chong’s Wootz Steel cavalry charged in, space twisted and fiery gouts of energy erupted from the feet of the Imperial Army soldiers.

These despotic flames were none other than the power of the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation. It seemed like Wang Chong’s men were about to be burned again, but this time, the power of another formation rose up. The flames managed to rise only around one foot before they were extinguished.

Besides that, as several dozen Imperial Army soldiers charged into the Origin Immortal Formation, their halos rapidly dimmed.

The fact that their halos had dropped several levels proved that the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation could not exert its power within the Origin Immortal Formation.

“How could this be!?”

The Imperial Army soldiers paled in fright, but before they could react, the Wootz Steel swords cut through the air and ended their lives.

Without the interference of the opposing formation, the Wootz Steel cavalry could once more exhibit their astonishing strength.

Large swaths of the Imperial Army were felled.

As these armies clashed, their formations also rammed against each other, creating visible ripples in the darkness that spread from the Center Gate all the way into the depths of the Imperial Palace. Even the formation core was affected.

This was the first shock the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation had received in all this time.

The Eastern Palace was quickly informed of what had happened in the Center Gate.

“Venerable Ghost King!” An Eastern Palace guard rushed into the hall and bowed. “The King of Foreign Lands has personally led his force to attack the Center Gate! Our men can’t hold for much longer!”

“Is that so?”

Hou Junji softly chuckled.

“As expected of that man’s disciple, and I also suppose it’s time I went out. You’re dismissed. Let me deal with the King of Foreign Lands!”

With these words, Hou Junji got up and left the hall like a spring breeze.
