Volume Ten: War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2157: Great Battle of the Wood Tribe (I)
At the center of this unit, there was unexpectedly a pitch-black demonic boat several times larger than the other flying vehicles. Most of it was surrounded by faint demonic Qi, and some masked demons dressed in the same fashion could be vaguely seen inside. 【Fly|Speed|Chinese|Net】
It was just that the aura of these demons was clearly several times stronger than that of the demons in the other flying vehicles.
"How much longer until we reach Wood Cotton City! This time, it was not easy to lure away all three of their Great Ascension stage cultivators, and I also spent a huge price to deceive the Wood Tribe's eyes and ears to sneak back into the Spirit Realm, so this operation must succeed, it cannot fail!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly came from within the demonic Qi of the giant boat.
"Reporting to Lord Tun Tian! At our current speed, we are about half a month's journey from Wood Cotton City!" another man's voice replied with extreme respect.
"Hmph, that won't do. The speed is too slow. Yuan Sha and the others might not be able to hold those three old ghosts for too long. Increase the speed; we must reach Wood Cotton City within ten days. As long as we destroy the Wood Tribe's Saint Tree in the city, the Wood Tribe will naturally have no ability to hold onto their remaining territory. The importance of that Saint Tree to the Wood Tribe far exceeds your imagination," the aged voice ordered without a hint of emotion.
"But Lord Tun Tian, our current speed is already the fastest stealth speed of the 'Arc Moon Flying Vehicles.' If we increase it further, I'm afraid we won't be able to evade the eyes and ears deployed by the Wood Tribe," the man replied with hesitation.
"It doesn't matter! The alien army is already beginning to collapse and is currently retreating while contracting their forces. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, with me personally sitting here, even if we were discovered by Wood Tribe scouts, how could I let them live to send the message back?" the aged voice said with a cold laugh.
"Since Lord Tun Tian is willing to take action personally, then naturally there will be no problem. I will pass down the order immediately!" the Demon Race man replied with great joy.
After a short while, the black demonic boat and all the flying vehicles shuddered, and their speed increased significantly, but at the same time, a low humming sound was emitted, and they could no longer maintain their original silence.
……
Seven days later, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged beneath the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree, suddenly felt a shift in his expression and opened his eyes, which had been tightly shut.
At almost the same time, the man and woman sitting on either side of him also awakened from their meditation.
None of the three spoke a word, simultaneously looking toward the high sky to one side.
Within just a few breaths, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out from the end of the sky!
A flash of cyan light appeared, and a sword light several feet long shot over, and after a few flashes, it headed straight for the giant tree in the valley.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and, without a word, beckoned with one hand toward the distance.
The sword light arrived above the valley, circled once, and then descended beneath the giant tree.
Han Li grabbed with his five fingers, and as the cyan light converged, a phantom of a small, cyan-misty sword several inches long appeared in his hand, unexpectedly wrapping a white jade slip inside.
He rubbed his hands together, and as the cyan light dissipated, only that miniature jade slip remained.
Han Li pinched the jade slip between two fingers, placed it against his forehead, and his spiritual sense instantly probed into it.
Beside him, Cao Ji and Fei Xiaoxi also looked over with solemn expressions.
After a moment, Han Li took the jade slip away and casually tossed it to the Wood Tribe man before saying indifferently.
"In one hour, the Demon Race army will officially enter the formation area. The entire absolute formation will officially activate the power of the Wood Realm in half a day, trapping and killing two-thirds of the Demon Race within it."
"The Demon Race has truly taken the bait. As long as we can annihilate this portion of the Demon Race within the formation, even if the Allied Forces cannot counterattack the occupied territory, it will still cause the Demon Race to suffer a heavy blow to their vitality, and they will be unable to launch another round of offensives for a period of time," Cao Ji said with a look of great joy after reading the jade slip, and he also handed the jade slip to Fei Xiaoxi.
"Since that is the case, we will follow the orders and activate the power of the formation on time. As long as the thirty-six formation groups are activated simultaneously, these demons trapped in the formation will definitely have no chance of survival," Fei Xiaoxi said with a smile at the corner of her mouth after her spiritual sense swept through the jade slip.
"That goes without saying. However, after all the formation restrictions are activated, we will only be able to enter and not exit from here. Tell everyone to heighten their vigilance by twelve times," Han Li said with a flash in his eyes, giving a faint order.
"Yes, Cao will pass the order down immediately and personally arrange the deployment of personnel again," Cao Ji agreed without hesitation.
The defensive forces here were still primarily Wood Tribe members, so it was naturally more appropriate for this Wood Tribe Body Integration stage cultivator to give the order personally.
"Then this younger sister will go and check the situation of the restrictions to see if there are any omissions or improprieties," Fei Xiaoxi also proactively suggested.
"Good, then I will trouble the two fellow Daoists. Han will sit in command here; if the two of you discover anything abnormal, you can notify me immediately," Han Li nodded, having no intention to object.
Thus, the Wood Tribe man and the Nightshade Tribe woman both stood up and flew off into the air.
Han Li closed his eyes again beneath the tree, his expression as calm as before, as if he truly hadn't taken the impending arrival of the Demon Race army to heart.
……
Half a day later, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the million-li-wide land. In the vast area centered on the thirty-six formation groups, towering giant trees simultaneously grew out from the earth.
Each one was as thick as a water vat and grew wildly, transforming into over a hundred zhang in height in the blink of an eye, unexpectedly turning these areas into an endless sea of forest.
Those various Demon Race units that had already been lured into the formation, whether using flying magic tools or their own flying techniques, all lost their effectiveness in an instant under the invisible restrictions in the void, falling from the high sky.
Only those demons above the Void Refinement stage could still barely hover in the high sky, but compared to normal times, their consumption of magic power increased several times over, and they were unable to fly too high.
Although most of the demons were thick-skinned and suffered no injuries from falling from the high sky, it still caused the Demon Race to fall into chaos.
Compared to the Demon Race, the alien Allied Forces were already well-prepared for this change. The moment before the anti-air restriction appeared, they had already descended to the ground in advance.
Countless green lights flashed in the forest sea, and the densely packed Allied Forces of various tribes disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Even when the Body Integration stage Demon Race Demon Lords scanned the forest sea with their vast spiritual sense from high altitude, they were shocked and furious to find absolutely nothing.
As many as several million demons were trapped deep in the forest sea, yet they couldn't find a single enemy for a time.
But the next moment, the terrifying power of the Wood Realm Great Formation began to manifest.
First, an indescribable, eerie fluctuation suddenly rippled out from the centers of the thirty-six formation groups simultaneously, rapidly sweeping through every part of the forest sea. Countless extremely pure Wood spiritual energy appeared out of thin air among the trees and madly poured into some particularly giant trees.
A loud "rumbling" sound echoed!
Those giant trees rose from the ground without any warning, and after a flash of emerald light, they transformed into giant tree-men about a hundred zhang tall. As they swung their massive fists, they charged toward the demons in various places.
Not only that, but after the other trees near the demons absorbed more or less Wood spiritual energy, their branches and leaves grew wildly, either sweeping toward the nearby demons or directly transforming into logs to smash down madly.
Caught off guard, the demons immediately screamed in agony, suffering countless casualties in an instant.
However, there were also many high-tier demons trapped in the formation. They reacted extremely quickly and issued orders, and the demons in various places gathered into groups in a well-trained manner, either working together to unleash various demonic tools or setting up demonic formations, unexpectedly stabilizing their footing for the time being.
But since this Wood Realm Thirty-Six Heaven Absolute Formation was a clan's town-protecting formation, it naturally could not have only this much power. Almost as soon as these demons had just cleared away those giant tree-men and nearby trees at a certain cost, after waves of cyan ripples swept through the high sky, a gale suddenly arose. White, vast hurricanes appeared out of thin air, then intertwined and rolled to transform into giant wind dragons, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they fiercely pounced toward the demons below!
After the wind dragons passed!
Countless emerald green leaves appeared in the high sky out of thin air, and after a series of clear chirps, they transformed into sharp blades, shooting down like a rainstorm……
After more than a dozen such continuous waves of restriction attacks, more than half of the millions of demons were killed or injured. The remaining demons were either astonishingly powerful or protected by high-tier demons with strong divine abilities; otherwise, they simply could not have survived such fierce attacks.
However, although the Wood Realm Great Formation was mysterious and powerful, the energy consumed to launch such a large-scale attack against so many demons at once was naturally extremely astonishing!
Even with a large number of spirit stones, numerous spiritual veins, and thirty-six Saint Trees providing pure spiritual power, after these dozen waves of attacks, the formation was unable to continue launching attacks, only barely maintaining the effect of trapping the enemy while slowly waiting for energy to recover.
According to the formation's absorption speed, the next attack would take at least half a day!
……
The demons outside the Wood Realm Absolute Formation only felt a flash of green light in front of them, and an incomparably thick green light curtain appeared silently, isolating them from the clansmen in front like a canopy of heaven, causing them to lose contact.
These demons were naturally shocked and furious, and led by some high-tier demons, they immediately prepared to launch an attack on the light curtain.
It was believed that under the combined attack of so many people, no matter how mysterious this light curtain was, it definitely wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
But just at this moment, in front of the giant light curtain that resembled a canopy of heaven, white light suddenly flashed, and countless giant light formations appeared out of thin air.
"Not good, attack quickly, it's a teleportation formation!" Some high-tier demons reacted extremely quickly and immediately recognized the origin of these light formations, shouting in great alarm.
But these orders were clearly too late!
After a flash of pale white light in the light formations, countless Allied Forces figures appeared out of thin air within them, covering the sky and earth, almost filling the entire sky!
The next moment, shouts of battle rose up!
The Allied Forces charged toward these remaining Demon Race units without hesitation.
