Chapter 534: Emergence of the Entrance
The preparation has been made, but everyone was still nervous as they waited for the emergence of the entrance.
Tens of millions of experts scattered throughout the desert region stood anxiously as they held their weapons. They were already told that there would be billions upon billions of Infernals coming from h.e.l.l!
Jian w.a.n.g saw the nervousness behind the solemn expressions of the soldiers. With his high spiritual power, they couldn"t hide their emotions from him. "The allied force"s morale is dwindling despite the efforts of the six great leaders. They can"t be blamed. It is already good that none of them fled." He muttered in his heart as he grabbed a few items from his s.p.a.ce ring.
Battle armor, helmet, leg guards, boots, battle cape, and gauntlets. "It has been a long time since I last use these items. Now is the perfect time to use them again." He smiled as he put on the battle gears.
Jian w.a.n.g"s figure became even more dignified. His crimson battle gear made him look like a war G.o.d!
Jiu Shen who was standing beside him could not help but admire the man"s charisma. After putting on his armor, his overall aura changed considerably! "It is indeed too much to wear robes against the Infernals." Jiu Shen thought to himself as he glanced at his exquisite white robes with golden embroidery. It was safe to say that his current clothing wasn"t meant for battle.
Jiu Shen was also a Weapon Crafter and he had already made a set of battle gear for himself. He took it out from his s.p.a.ce earring and changed into it. His battle gear was different from Jian w.a.n.g"s.
Pristine white armor with archaic golden engravings. A golden general"s cape fluttered behind his back.
Jiu Shen then tied his long silver hair in a ponytail. "Much better." He muttered.
He looked great in his battle armor. The only issue was the color difference of his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword, but he didn"t take it to heart.
It was then that the sky above the desert region suddenly darkened!
Om!
A huge rift gradually revealed itself under the dark clouds bringing with it a gloomy aura!
Roaarr!!!
Roaarr!!!
Everyone could hear the enraged roars behind the rift and some weaker soldiers s.h.i.+vered upon hearing the creepy cries of the beasts.
"The entrance! Everyone prepare for battle!"
"Pavilion Mistress Ai Chen, please activate the Array Formations!"
Ai Chen nodded her head and instructed her subordinates to activate the Array Formations.
There were tens of thousands of Array Formations that needed to be activated and the energy required to continuously operate them was enormous! The Heavenly Melody Pavilion might be amongst the wealthiest major powers, but they couldn"t handle the ma.s.sive expenditure. Luckily, many major powers volunteered to share the expenses with them.
When the Array Formations were activated, the magic symbols lit up, brightening the pitch-black sky.
Everyone was rea.s.sured when they sensed the power behind the Array Formations.
There was no Celestial-rank Array Formation and most of them were at the Heavenly-rank, but it was already enough to slow down the Infernals!
A huge figure suddenly came out from the rift. It was a creature that looked no different than the typical demonic species, but this being had the aura of brutality and chaos! It had a malevolent facial feature and a strong body covered in armor-like scales!
The ferocious creature swept its cold gaze towards the army down below. It then revealed a hideous smile before it emitted an ear-piercing cry that shook the heavens!
ROOOAARR!!!
More and more creatures abruptly came out of the rift following its sharp roar!
"Everyone, take out your long-ranged weapons and fire!"
"Kill them!"
The experts of the Primordial G.o.d Realm launched their attacks towards the skies, causing the battlefield to be illuminated by brilliant rays of multi-colored lights!
BANG!
BOOM!
Destructive explosions rang out following the offensive strikes of the soldiers!
The Array Formations also did their work in preventing the Infernals from moving closer. It made the beasts turn mad with rage!
With the fierce offensive attacks from the soldiers, the Infernals failed to breach the formation of the allied force. The exchange continued for several hours, but the Infernals showed no signs of stopping their charge!
"s.h.i.+t! Those beasts are not even retreating despite their huge number of casualties! Are they not afraid of death?!"
"Our soldiers have consumed so much of their true essence. We can"t continue this kind of offense for long!"
"Melee attackers, prepare yourselves!"
Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the clouds. More and more Infernals descended and their numbers were slowly increasing!
This was just the first force sent by the Infernals, but they had already almost consumed their true essence! If not for the support of the Array Formations, their defensive line would have already been breached by those ferocious creatures!
Rooaarr!!
Rooaarr!!
Dozens of Infernal Chieftains appeared and struck the Array Formations!
Boom!
Booom!
Looking at this, Ai Chen"s gaze turned cold as she raised a signal to her subordinates. "Do it!"
Her subordinates nodded and activated the self-destruct options of the remaining Array Formations near the Infernal Chieftains!
BAAANNG!!
A huge cl.u.s.ter of smoke and dust covered the epicenter of the explosion.
"Great! That should have killed hundreds of those high-level Chieftains!"
"Impressive work, Pavilion Mistress Ai Chen!"
However, in the middle of their jubilant cheers, an overwhelming power suddenly descended on the remaining Array Formations, destroying them!
BAAANG!!
"What was that?!"
"What the h.e.l.l!"
Everyone was horrified by the strike. That power alone was enough to decimate a large part of their army. It was a good thing that they weren"t the target of the attack, but since the Array Formations have already been destroyed, the battle would only become a lot fiercer from this moment!
Jian w.a.n.g squinted his eyes and stared at the silhouette of a huge creature hidden behind the cloud of dust. "That must be Wuka, the High Chieftain of the Infernals..." He muttered in a solemn voice.
