Chapter 89

Both sides ceased hostilities, and Xuanyuan was somewhat agitated. The situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse. Even though he had always been full of fighting spirit, he was also beginning to feel a bit unstable.

"Your Majesty, the morale of the army is somewhat unstable, and there are deserters appearing," Limu, one of Xuanyuan's generals, walked into the hall and said in a low voice, "They have all been apprehended and dealt with according to military law."

Xuanyuan nodded, scanned the room with his eyes, and looked at everyone below, saying, "Do any of you, venerable immortals, have any strategies?"

At this moment, the disciples of the Chongtian Sect, led by Yunzhongzi, saw Xuanyuan looking at him and couldn't help but show a bitter smile, saying helplessly, "Your Majesty, the great formation of the witch tribe is too mysterious, and we cannot break it."

Xuanyuan's lips twitched slightly, his gaze shifted, and he looked at the Nine Heavens Fairy.

This Nine Heavens Fairy had immense magical power and profound attainments, even the great witch Yushi treated her with respect, making the great witch hesitant to engage in a full-scale battle, truly formidable.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens Fairy was well-informed and might have some way to deal with the situation.

The Nine Heavens Fairy, with her unparalleled beauty, her eyes flickered, and after a moment of deep thought, she said, "I also cannot break the formation, but I know of a great deity in the Three Realms who can stop the great witch."

"Ah?" Xuanyuan became interested and asked quickly, "Who is this deity you speak of?"

The Nine Heavens Fairy said, "It is an ancient celestial maiden who has attained enlightenment. I have met her a few times. Her powers are formidable, and even I might find it difficult to resist her, and she happens to be the perfect counter to the great witch Yushi's powers."

"Can the fairy please invite the celestial maiden to assist me?" Xuanyuan said earnestly. According to what the Nine Heavens Fairy said, the two great witches of the Dalu realm could be held back.

The Nine Heavens Fairy's eyebrows moved, and she said, "It would be better if the Human Emperor and I go together, then the chances will be greater."

"Agreed!" Xuanyuan readily agreed.

Then, Xuanyuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Ding Yue's avatar, who had been sitting quietly on the side without speaking, and said, "Venerable Immortal, the截教 (Jie Jiao) is renowned for its array formations in the Three Realms. Do you have any way to break the Cloud Mist Formation?"

Before Ding Yue could speak, the disciples of the Chongtian Sect below became somewhat agitated, and some even wanted to speak to stop him.

After all, Ding Yue's avatar represented the Heavenly Court, and the disciples of the Chongtian Sect could not easily stop him, but if they asked the Jie Jiao for a way to break the formation, it would be a different matter.

But when Yunzhongzi's eyes swept over them, the disciples of the Chongtian Sect were immediately silenced, somewhat reluctantly.

After all, since they couldn't break the formation themselves, they couldn't blame the Human Emperor for seeking help from others.

Ding Yue looked at the disciples of the Chongtian Sect, showing a look of disdain, but it quickly passed.

After a moment, Ding Yue said to Xuanyuan, "I have a set of array flags, which are quite powerful and can block the Cloud Mist Formation."

Ding Yue was naturally referring to the set of seventy-two ghost flags that his avatar always carried.

This set of ghost flags, when arranged into a formation, was naturally very powerful, but Ding Yue was not entirely confident that it could break the enemy's formation, only that it could block it.

"Good, when the time comes, the venerable immortal will set up the formation to block the Cloud Mist Formation," Xuanyuan said with great joy.

After the meeting, Xuanyuan immediately left the camp with the Nine Heavens Fairy to invite the celestial maiden.

Ding Yue, after getting permission, took out the ghost flags and organized the heavenly soldiers and generals to form the formation, entering the ghost formation to enhance its power.

The seventy-two ghost flags were placed in four directions, each flag rising to dozens of feet high, with a golden-yellow surface, and golden light of merit shining.

One by one, the ghosts emerged from the flags, their bodies enveloped in a layer of golden light, with starlight swirling around them, making the ghosts less terrifying and more dignified and solemn.

Since becoming an official in heaven, Ding Yue had been using the dense star power of the Heavenly Court to refine the ghost flags, making the ghost flags not only more powerful but also more formidable.

Then, under each flag, ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals formed an array, guarding the flags.

"Boom!!"

Soon, the formation roared to life, a powerful aura rising into the sky. The seventy-two ghosts roared to the sky, stirring up boundless clouds and winds. In a blink, the pervasive killing aura was drawn into the formation, and from the nine heavens, rays of starlight extended into the void, being swallowed by the ghosts.

After a moment, a formation covering hundreds of thousands of miles was established, with rolling killing aura and ghostly roars echoing through the sky, shaking the earth, standing in opposition to the distant Cloud Mist Formation!

Not long after, Xuanyuan and the Nine Heavens Fairy returned, accompanied by a beautiful woman in a green robe.

Ding Yue turned to look and felt his eyes heat up, almost unable to bear it, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

The green-robed woman, as if sensing something, turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Ding Yue, lightly smiling.

Seeing Ding Yue's formation, Xuanyuan immediately felt more confident. He immediately reorganized his army, boosted morale, and led his troops toward the great army of Chiyou.

"It seems you have found help, no wonder you are causing trouble."

Strangely, it was the great witch Yushi who spoke, not Chiyou. Yushi looked at the Nine Heavens Fairy and the celestial maiden, her gaze focusing, somewhat heavy.

Fengbo then stepped forward, seeing the scene, he paused, but still said sternly, "Do you think finding two helpers can stop our witch tribe's army?"

He then said to the celestial maiden, "This fellow, why do you involve yourself in this mess? Be careful that your cultivation is reduced to nothing."

The celestial maiden smiled lightly, with a hint of red light in her eyes, and said, "No need for the great witch to worry, Nuba knows her limits."

She then turned to the Nine Heavens Fairy and said with a smile, "Did my sister send me to deal with him?"

She pointed her delicate hand, and it was the great witch Yushi.

Seeing the Nine Heavens Fairy nod, the celestial maiden smiled and her figure flashed, flying up and saying to Yushi, "I have heard of the witch tribe's combat prowess for a long time. Today, I will see if it lives up to the reputation."

Yushi's brows furrowed, and anger appeared.

"I will deal with her."

Fengbo, naturally seeing the situation, stepped forward and said, taking a step to face the celestial maiden.

But at this moment, a light flashed, and the Nine Heavens Fairy appeared in front of Fengbo, smiling and saying, "The great witch's opponent is me."

Without waiting for the great witch to speak, she raised her hand, and seven-colored immortal light swirled, striking the great witch.

Her every move was light and graceful, without a trace of violence.

Fengbo stopped, his eyes flickering, and he raised his hand, summoning wind and clouds, to meet her.

With a loud "Bang," the space where they met collapsed, forming a storm.

But neither of them was afraid of the violent spatial storm. Fengbo's hand, filled with divine power, was unharmed as he pulled it back.

The Nine Heavens Fairy, with a flick of her hand, calmed the surrounding storm, and her hand returned unscathed.

"Indeed, you are remarkable."

Fengbo's face was serious, but his fighting spirit soared. He roared, stepped forward, and broke through the void, rising into the air, his divine power surging, and he punched down.

The Nine Heavens Fairy's face was calm, but her eyes showed a hint of seriousness. Seeing the great witch's punch, she did not resist it head-on but turned slightly to dodge the attack. Then, she pointed her hand, and seven-colored immortal light flickered, surging toward Fengbo.

The great witch roared, punched down, and shattered the seven-colored immortal light into a rain of light. Then, he waved his hand, and boundless clouds gathered, covering the sky and enveloping the Nine Heavens Fairy.

In the distance, Yushi was also engaged in battle with the celestial maiden.

Yushi's face was serious, but his fighting spirit soared. He said coldly, "I want to see if the celestial maiden's powers are stronger or mine."

"Ha ha, we'll see."

The celestial maiden smiled, her face pausing, and she flicked her sleeve, sending a torrent of flames surging into the void, rushing toward Yushi.

"Good!"

Yushi roared, slapped his hand, and boundless dark clouds gathered, pouring down a torrential rain, enveloping the void like a river from the sky, forming a vast ocean, with waves surging, crashing toward the flames.

Below, seeing that the two great witches of the Dalu realm were held back, Xuanyuan's heart and mind were shaken, his eyes flashing, and he waved his hand, and millions of troops formed formations, rushing toward the army of Chiyou.

"Enter the Cloud Mist Formation!"

At this moment, a loud shout came from the army of Chiyou, and the troops surged into the Cloud Mist Formation, the mist rising, making it impossible to see a single figure.

"Hmph!"

Ding Yue coldly snorted, and without Xuanyuan's command, the ghost formation roared, with boundless killing aura surging, colliding with the Cloud Mist Formation.

"Zzzz~~~"

Instantly, a series of piercing sounds rang out as the mist met the killing aura and was gradually dissipated.

But the Cloud Mist Formation shook, and its aura swirled, forming boundless mist again, offsetting the previous loss.

For a moment, the two formations were in a stalemate, and in the short term, neither could overcome the other.

Even though the ghost formation was renowned for its power, the Cloud Mist Formation's endless supply made it as stable as a mountain, standing invincible.

"Enter the formation!"

Xuanyuan, seeing this, his eyes flickered, and he shouted.

"Juling Shen!" In the formation, Ding Yue, who was directing the formation, shouted.

"Juling Shen is here!" A tall and imposing figure rushed forward, his golden armor shining, looking mighty and extraordinary.

"Take your troops and follow the Human Emperor into the formation," Ding Yue said.

Juling Shen was a close confidant of the Great Celestial Lord and was already a Golden Immortal, with a high status in the Heavenly Court. For this merit-gaining opportunity, the Great Celestial Lord naturally would not let Ding Yue have it all to himself, so he sent Juling Shen as Ding Yue's deputy.

"Yes!"

Juling Shen responded, his voice loud, echoing throughout the formation. Then, he gathered hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals and joined forces with the Human Emperor, attacking the Cloud Mist Formation.

Ding Yue was not very worried about Xuanyuan. The Human Emperor's army was clearly at an advantage, and with the support of the Chongtian Sect and other scattered cultivators, there were no shortage of experts, so they would not suffer a major defeat.

Therefore, Ding Yue's gaze turned to the sky, where the four great Dalu realm experts were engaged in battle.

This battle was the key to the entire conflict!
