Chapter 1814: Another Lesson
But within the iron lotus barrier supported by True Monarch Cang Xi, the terrain and landforms were not changed by the shock waves generated by the divine fire impact, and the choking dust was also rejected outside the barrier.
I don't know who summoned the strong wind, briefly blowing away the gray haze; the Tiangong team had just seen the scene outside the barrier and gasped.
Mountains and rivers changed shape, everywhere was scorched earth and ruins; was this the end of the world?
The hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers that originally besieged them were wiped out in seventeen hard-core divine abilities, no longer a threat.
Bai Ziqi walked to the sand table and looked; with seventeen meteorite craters as fulcrums, Miao Zhantian had constructed a giant formation that ran through the entire Silver Pearl Island!
Each glowing meteorite crater was a challenge to Qian Huan's laws.
"The Divine Venerable's power is heaven-reaching and earth-shattering!" Bai Ziqi felt the insignificance of manpower the closer he got to the gods. "Change formation! The Illusion Sect is about to attack."
True Monarch Cang Xi was meditating behind him, the iron lotus lamp glowing and heating; the barrier supported could only resist part of the laws of this realm, preventing Qian Huan from changing the landform, but it wouldn't prevent the enemy from attacking—this required more effort, and Miao Zhantian now had no energy to spare.
Just by this point, Bai Ziqi knew that the struggle between Miao Zhantian and Qian Huan had entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.
What he had to do was to guard True Monarch Cang Xi's golden body well.
The ghost soldiers had already been wiped out by Miao Zhantian in one wave, just like the battle by the Inverted Lake in the illusion realm; the Yakshas retreated, and the Illusion Sect had to top it up themselves.
The fighting methods against ghost soldiers and against cultivators were naturally different.
Bai Ziqi had just given the order when Bai Ten pointed to the sand table: "Envoy, look, there is an abnormality in the array feet of the Divine Fire Array!"
The seventeen array feet of the Divine Fire Array were all flashing golden light on the sand table, like seventeen small suns, together forming the shape of the Eye of Truth.
But in the dazzling golden light, there were now light blue light spots appearing in three meteorite craters.
That is?
Bai Ziqi frowned; he knew the enemy wouldn't let Miao Zhantian seize power. If he were Qian Huan, he would also send people to dig the array feet now.
The gray parrot landed on the edge of the sand table, flapping its wings: "The Illusion Sect elders are dispatched, wanting to dig out the Divine Fire meteorites. These three array feet, they each sent two people. Heh, thinking this is foolproof?"
Bai Ziqi pondered: "Xiao Wencheng was probably scared by the means you displayed in Banqiu, and never dared to send groups of immortals to cluster together again."
Attacking enemy strongholds, this situation appeared again in this realm, as if it were another cycle of the battle.
Last time, Xiao Wencheng wasn't unaware of the risks, but he chose to take the risk to attack; now, knowing that Qian Huan had come out of seclusion and Miao Zhantian had been dragged down, he instinctively loathed risks after suffering a big loss last time, and subconsciously avoided it, not daring to use it again.
"He thinks he learned a lesson, but in fact, this is just a common mistake on the battlefield."
"Do you have any suggestions?" For Bai Ziqi, Miao Zhantian was more ready to listen to advice.
Previously, Bai Ziqi didn't approve of the entire army entering Yaozi Lake, but Miao Zhantian insisted, so they still entered, plunging headlong into the trap carefully prepared by Qian Huan and the Illusion Sect. This led to Miao Zhantian having to consume more divine power to regain the initiative.
If you suffer a loss, you have to learn to be obedient; Miao Zhantian didn't have those stinky problems of immortals.
"Clustering has the benefits of clustering, and dispersing has the drawbacks of dispersing." Bai Ziqi said solemnly. "Xiao Wencheng's fighting style is biased toward conservatism, seriously out of touch with Qian Huan's policy of brave and sharp attack, and is a strategy destined to be poorly executed. Taking advantage of them not realizing this, let's give him a key breakthrough."
Xiao Wencheng thought conservative fighting style wasn't wrong? Bai Ziqi insisted on giving him another lesson! The gray parrot asked him: "Aren't you afraid they will transmit reinforcements if they can't fight?"
"Very likely, but our fighting style is fierce and fast, and there is still a good hope of success." Bai Ziqi said solemnly. "In addition, the Illusion Sect mostly used walking after withdrawing from the illusion realm, and also walked on the ground after arriving here, without using the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror for transmission. The captives we caught by Yaozi Lake confessed that they transmitted from Stone Dragon Peak to the side of Yaozi Lake, not by crossing the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror, but by jumping directly into the sand table."
"Do you think they had problems in this regard?" The gray parrot pondered. "This shouldn't be. Qian Huan has already woken up."
"Yes." Bai Ziqi didn't insist. He himself felt that this inference wasn't very reliable. "Perhaps, they just adopted a more economical way."
The captives also said that ordinary disciples didn't have the opportunity to cross the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror before.
He calmed down and put his attention back on the battle in front of him: "Please Divine Venerable, dispatch the gods."
Bai Ziqi was only a Dou Envoy and had no qualifications to mobilize the accompanying heavenly gods; it had to be done by Miao Zhantian.
"You say it."
There were still three heavenly gods and one demon immortal in the Tiangong army; in terms of quantity, they were inferior to the immortals on the other side.
So the Illusion Sect could disperse power, but the Tiangong must attack together, in short, huddle together.
Bai Ziqi didn't believe He Xiao couldn't see these things; that was such a shrewd person. But He Xiao had been intermittently blind since entering the Inverted Sea, turning a blind eye to Bai Ziqi's strategy.
Bai Ziqi didn't know his calculations and could only assume that this guy didn't have good intentions for the immortals either. So he just did what he had to do.
The Eye of Truth formation was near the tail of the eye, which also happened to be called Tail Ridge, not far from the sea. Qian Huan changed the landform, introduced seawater into the meteorite craters, and wanted to take back His territory.
Miao Zhantian said that as long as the golden light between several meteorite craters successfully connected, that area would gradually escape Qian Huan's control, achieving the same effect as the lighthouse barrier in the illusion realm.
If there were more and more such areas, the strength of Him and Qian Huan would be reversed.
Conversely, once the meteorite craters were removed or completely corroded by seawater, the Eye of Truth formation would be declared a failure, and Miao Zhantian's efforts would be in vain.
Both sides couldn't afford to lose.
Therefore, from the moment Qian Huan sent elders to rush to the meteorite craters, the contest between the two sides turned into a battle to defend the array feet.
Bai Ziqi's plan was to let these four great experts rush to Tail Ridge at the same time.
With both sides' trump cards already revealed, his choice was actually the same as Xiao Wencheng attacking Banqiu, exhausting all he could, without reservation.
On one hand, Unbeaten Ridge was very close to Tail Ridge, and the heavenly demons and demon immortals moved fast, so they could strike the battle before the Illusion Sect reacted.
On the other hand, the meteorites that drilled into the earth's core were filled with True Monarch Cang Xi's power, especially the Divine Xi fire, which had a strong suppressive effect on the Illusion Sect's immortals; it was not an easy task for the other party to pry them out, and this bought valuable time for the Tiangong to break them one by one.
Bai Ziqi knew that the Illusion Sect immortals were powerful in individual strength; for his side to achieve the effect of a heavy punch, the manpower sent must be large, and the fist must be hard. ===== CHAPTER 1815 =====
