Boom!
It seemed like these Imperial Army soldiers were about to crumble and the Center Gate was about to fall, but at this moment, the earth rumbled, and a violet pillar of energy shot up from the depths of the Imperial Palace, spreading outward in a great wave.
This violet pillar of energy was dazzling in the darkness, causing the world to experience a violet day.
For a moment, everything in the world fell silent. As countless eyes turned to look, they sensed a horrifying power coming from the energy pillar.
”What terrifying strength!”
Even the most ordinary Imperial Army soldier could sense how monstrous this power was, how it reigned above all other things in the world.
But this was only the beginning. This massive energy began to radiate outward, traveling through the ground to sweep over every part of the Imperial Palace and effecting a miraculous transformation.
Clangclangclang!
The Imperial Army force that had been on the verge of crumbling under the vicious assault was engulfed by the violet wave of energy, and a moment later, the halos under their feet began to swell in power, pouring new energy into their bodies.
Not only did the Imperial Army soldiers get stronger, the formation itself began to manifest larger and more complex patterns. The men were now even more united, their connection with each other even tighter.
”Not good!”
”What's this?! This formation is weakening us!”
Cries of alarm came from the one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry, who saw their halos dim and felt their cultivation levels drop.
”Kill!”
The Imperial Army soldiers, with their renewed strength, now brandished their weapons and began their counterattack.
”Kill!”
But despite all these soldiers charging at them, the one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry remained fearless.
They continued to charge, as the edges of the Wootz Steel weapons were unaffected by these halos.
But even so, it was clear that their advance had been slowed.
Wang Chong silently observed all this from the rear.
”Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Wang Chong stomped forward. There was a great clattering as a massive halo began to spread out from under his feet.
The one thousand Wootz Steel cavalry were engulfed in rumbling waves of energy, and then dazzling halos began to revolve around their feet.
Their strength instantly soared, and not only did they recover their original strength, they became even stronger.
”It's about ready!”
Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he began to advance.
His dantian vibrated, unleashing a powerful energy that locked onto the Imperial Army soldiers. He was preparing to strike and clean up the battlefield in one fell swoop.
”Kid, wait a moment!”
A familiar and anxious voice spoke into his ears.
”This formation isn't completely activated yet! Now is not the time to strike!”
Buzz!
Wang Chong immediately stopped and turned his head to a position far in the back. There, a short old man was observing something from atop a high wall.
In this world, there was but one man with such short stature who called Wang Chong 'kid': the Formation Elder.
”What has Senior noticed?”
Wang Chong drew back and immediately shot over to the wall. In order to deal with the First Prince and Hou Junji, Wang Chong had particularly requested the aid of the Formation Elder.
