Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"General Chao is a master of military command!" Zhou Yi exclaimed, gazing at the trajectories of stars moving across the battlefield.

The originally scattered bronze armor has now formed a perfectly round celestial array, with the rise and fall of the weapons subtly corresponding to the number of stars in the heavens. This is the mysterious manifestation of the Heavenly Court's battle formation.

Youchao stroked the hilt of the bronze sword at his waist and smiled bitterly: "It's all thanks to the martial arts arena set up by His Majesty. Now, new recruits are fighting tooth and nail to join the army, afraid of falling behind even an inch during training."

Since the human race established the system of awarding titles based on military merit, the warriors' fighting spirit has been completely ignited, and even he, as the commander, is often awakened by the sounds of drills in the military camp.

A bloody storm suddenly swept through the demon race.

The giant azure-scaled dragon suddenly lashed out with its tail, shattering the cliff face, and said in a cold voice, "These ants have actually formed a Heavenly Gang Battle Formation!"

The black-armored bear beside it roared furiously, its venomous saliva dripping from its fangs carving deep trenches into the ground.

Four eerie shadows, obscuring the sky, loomed before the battle: the tusks of the snow-capped giant elephant gleamed coldly, the scales of the coiled mountain python rumbled like thunder, and the golden-maned lion king shook the earth with every step it took.

The most terrifying thing was the mountain-like black bear in the center, its eyes as red as a blood moon hanging in the sky.

"Four Great Luo Demon Saints..." Zhou Yi's fingertips traced the spine of the Xuanyuan Sword, the sword's clear and resonant sound like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens. "No wonder they dared to invade my territory."

Before the words were even finished, 100,000 soldiers in the battle formation simultaneously pointed their weapons at the sky, and the Big Dipper appeared in broad daylight.

The fact that the demon race dared to make a comeback after their previous defeat clearly indicates that they had a backup plan.

However, when four figures with soaring demonic energy appeared, doubts arose in the human camp. Could four Great Luo Golden Immortals really shake the foundation of the human race?

"Your Majesty, please grant me permission to rush to their aid. I fear the Changlin Army may not be able to withstand such a powerful enemy on its own."

Suihuang pressed his hand on his sword and stepped forward to request permission. Cangwen's divination plate was already spinning in his palm, and Ziyi's protective golden light was faintly visible.

This long-planned battle was originally intended as a testing ground for the first time in which the three human legions would fight together.

Zhou Yi gazed at the churning demonic clouds beneath the sky, his dark imperial robes fluttering in the fierce wind.

He was well aware of the power of the Great Immortal, but he wanted the new generation of generals to understand that the survival of the human race could not forever depend on the protection of their ancestors.

"The Heavenly Court's battle formation is extraordinary." The Emperor's voice boomed through the battlefield, "Since Youchao has shown no intention of seeking reinforcements, you should have faith in the might of our army."

In the command tent at the front, Youchao was stroking the Xuanyuan Sword with his eyes closed. The sword reflected the faint smile on his lips, and the breaths of 100,000 soldiers transformed into a swirling river of stars in his mind.

As the demon king's avatar tore through the clouds, the bronze sword sheath suddenly trembled like a dragon's roar.

The four demon lords stood in mid-air, their true forms with green faces and fangs stirring up winds and clouds for miles around.

The leader, with nine heads and a serpent's body, had eighteen vertical pupils that simultaneously locked onto the ground army formation: "Ants gather sand to form a tower, but in the end, they are still just sand."

The toxic miasma, as vast as the Milky Way, poured down like a celestial river, yet upon touching the army formation, it was refracted into the sky by an invisible barrier.

As Youchao's sword pointed, 100,000 armored soldiers roared in unison. The Hetu and Luoshu that appeared beneath their feet actually stirred the flow of the earth's veins. Since the beginning of time, no living being had ever dared to refine the dragon energy of mountains and rivers into armor.

When the first sword energy pierced through the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's Dharma Form, the Ziyi Clan watching the battle suddenly realized that this was not a military formation at all, but clearly a walking Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

On the blood-red wasteland, the sound of bronze boots pounding the scorched earth came to an abrupt end.

The crimson demonic flames engulfing the Explosive Bear King suddenly surged, and its thunderous roar caused the earth's veins to groan in agony: "You ant-like humans, do you even deserve to stand before me?"

The rock strata within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly churned like boiling lava, and the entire battlefield was transformed into a liquid state under the influence of demonic power.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the White Elephant King swung its massive trunk, and a dark vortex that appeared between its six tusks swept hundreds of armored soldiers into the void. The bronze armor made a teeth-grinding cracking sound in the distorted space.

Seven-inch green scales appeared and disappeared in the smoke and dust. As the king snake flicked its tongue, the colorful poisonous miasma spread along the ground like a living thing.

The black iron shield, now shrouded in mist, was instantly covered in dark green rust, and the knuckles of the shield-wielding soldiers revealed their bare white bones through corrosion.

At the same time, visible sonic ripples exploded from the mane of the Azure Lion King, and the warhorses thirty feet away turned into blood mist before they could even neigh.

Suddenly, the 100,000 Xuanjia soldiers slammed their halberds into the ground in unison, the clanging of metal overpowering the demon king's might.

A starlight shone between the brows of each soldier, instantly weaving a dazzling galaxy above the army formation.

As the fourth round of war drums sounded, the Milky Way, condensed from 100,000 strands of true essence, collapsed with a roar, transforming into a hundred-foot-long golden blade of light that cleaved through the chaos.

The demon kings' pupils constricted sharply. The lava wall summoned by the Explosive Bear King was sliced ​​open like paper, and the White Elephant King's void vortex was annihilated into specks of phosphorescent light in the golden light.

The Green Serpent King hastily unleashed its natal poison pill to defend itself, but the aftershock of the light blade caused cracks to appear in its spiderweb-like structure. The four demon kings simultaneously retreated three hundred feet, plowing out ravines emitting blue smoke in the scorched earth.

"Form the Ten Thousand Demons Slaying Immortals Formation!" Blood essence spurted from between the fangs of the Azure Lion King, and the four natal demonic flames converged in the air to form a blood-red wheel.

The other three kings immediately bit their tongues, using their primordial blood essence to drive the wheel to spin rapidly.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged back wildly, and the phantom of an ancient demon god gradually emerged in the center of the roulette wheel. The beam of destruction, carrying the aura of the primordial era, collided violently with the golden light blade.

The shockwave severed mountains a hundred miles away, vaporizing the low-ranking demons who were watching before they could even scream. When the dust settled, the 100,000-strong Changlin Army remained perfectly in formation, while the scorched earth beneath the feet of the four demon kings had transformed into a bottomless abyss.

The earth trembled suddenly, a thunderous roar tore through the sky, and energy ripples swept across thousands of miles of territory.

When the smoke cleared, the four demon lords still stood on the clouds, their black robes spotless, but they could no longer maintain their aloof demeanor, their four demonic eyes surging with the fury of being offended.

The 100,000 black-armored warriors ignored the oppressive aura of their superiors, their boots striking the ground in a rhythmic, uninterrupted beat.

As the third battle cry resounded through the sky, the metallic jungle of bronze halberds glowed with a blood-red halo, and the baleful aura condensed above the army formation solidified into the phantom of a Taotie.

"Nothing but ants!" The golden-winged roc roared, tearing through the sky, but the hurricane stirred up by its wings was instantly shattered before the blood-red totem.

In that instant, the Emperor of Fire witnessed the myth being rewritten before his eyes. The human warriors, who had not yet shed their mortal forms, actually used the power of the army formation to withstand the furious attack of the primordial power.

Zhou Yi's sword drew sparks on the bluestone: "The essence of the Xuan Tian Battle Formation lies in resonance, and Youchao has already grasped 30% of its true meaning."

His gaze swept over the three clan leaders who looked ashamed. A dragon's roar suddenly erupted from the other side of the battlefield, interrupting the admonition. The four demon lords revealed their true forms, but they still could not break through the blood-red barrier.

Youchao stroked the bronze tiger tally at his waist: "If we train for another three years..." Before he could finish speaking, a nine-colored light suddenly burst forth in the center of the battlefield.

The Changlin Army's formation suddenly changed, and 100,000 streams of blood energy converged at the formation's core to form a crimson rainbow that pierced the demonic cloud vortex deep in the sky.

"They actually perfected the formation in actual combat!" Ziyi exclaimed in shock.

The battlefield at this moment is like a giant furnace, where every spark from the clash of weapons is forging a new battle spirit for humanity.
