Chapter 40

Nuan Xue, Jia Xian, the Central Plains, the Court, and the Wild God.

The heavenly gods who never left also protect these people.

Mu Yi

Basically they are all Wild Gods, but calling them Wild Gods is just a more civilized term; strictly speaking, most of them are merely mountain sprites, wild monsters, and lonely wandering ghosts.

The Qing Court, the Central Plains, Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities, famous mountains and rivers, and the Wild God

Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities, and the Starfire Authority

This is the Wild God

Incense

Basically they have no plan, they covet divine positions, and want to ascend to heaven in a single step.

The Court and the White Lotus Sect

Without incense offerings, they cannot continue to expand their authority; they can only shrink into their own small territories, gradually withering, and the only two ways to alleviate this withering are to devour other Wild Gods or to devour flesh and blood.

And now, a group of people without the protection of the Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities appears before them; how could they not be moved?

On the mountain top, the giant bear is a Bear Demon

Hidden dungeon task: Subjugate Demons and Suppress Monsters

same.

Military Strategist

The Mountain God's divine position, the Bear Demon, and the greedy flesh heart

"Form up! Square Yuan Yang Formation!"

Jia Xian of the Northeast, the Central Plains

The Mountain God's authority

Transcendent Power, the Supernormal Being

Even if one has mastered battle formations, the best way to face such a monster is still to flee; but seeing the weakness in the giant bear's state, Mu Yi feels they can give it a fight.

Cloud Energy

Double Formation, Yuan Yang Formation, Square Formation

Vigorous power is drawn from all the soldiers behind, a thin layer of Cloud Energy rises, enveloping the giant bear.

Outstanding effect!

Seeing the Bear Demon before them instantly wilt considerably

"Roar!"

The Bear Demon roars and swings its claws at Li Tian, who stands at the front holding a shield; although it doesn't know what happened, everything that occurred is inseparable from these ants before it.

"Go!" Mu Yi shouted loudly, the Cloud Energy above his head turning into a shield that attached to Li Tian's shield.

"Raise your shields!"

Hearing Mu Yi's loud shout, Li Tian, following muscle memory, raised the shield in his hand.

"Bang!" Li Tian stumbled back several steps, his arms trembling nonstop, yet miraculously withstood the Bear Demon's furious swipe.

The fourth effect of the Yuan Yang Formation

"Switch! Raise your shields!"

Mu Yi commanded loudly; seeing Li Tian in a sorry state but not mortally wounded, his worries instantly dissipated by half—it seemed today they could gnaw through this hard obstacle before them.

"Fire!"

Taking advantage of the giant bear being surrounded by shields, Mu Yi issued another command; the youths holding hunting bows drew their bows and nocked arrows— as former hunters, their archery was decent, at least they wouldn't accidentally injure comrades.

The arrows carry Cloud Energy

The Bear Demon that has long reigned as king in the mountains and forests

Pain drove the Bear Demon into a frenzy, yet the Bear Demon, already completely encircled by the battle formation, sensed no hint of the impending danger.

"Thunder God, help me!"

Mu Yi wraps his right arm with the Lightning Lock and raises the battle blade

Boom!

Thunderclaps resound as a thick lightning bolt descends from the heavens, instantly paralyzing the Bear Demon

"Stab!"

The shield-bearing youths separate; before the Bear Demon recovers from paralysis, several spears thrust at it like snakes

"Roar!!!!"

Hairy and weak to fire, large and weak to gate, Mu Yi, versed in the way of hunting, arranged two youths to aim at the Bear Demon's anus

Pain completely engulfed the Bear Demon's entire body; no creature could endure the agony of having a vital spot pierced, even a Bear Demon that had already reached the limit of mortals.

Great opportunity!

Seeing the Bear Demon's defenses wide open from pain, Mu Yi snatched up the formation blade, activated Time Acceleration, and charged out from the military formation.

Sharp Slash!

Cloud Energy responded to Mu Yi's slash, and for the first time Mu Yi realized that the Sharp Slash could move Cloud Energy, or perhaps he was meant to unleash its true power only under Cloud Energy?

Brilliant blade-light flashed, and the torn air emitted a groan unable to bear the weight.

Flowers, trees, mountains, streams—everything—was cut to dust under the brilliant blade-light.

In an instant, the Bear Demon's head was severed by the blade-light; the lingering blade-light, as if wanting to cleave the whole earth, left a ditch hundreds of meters deep before vanishing into nothing.

"This is the military formation... this is Cloud Energy... this is power!"

Mu Yi stared blankly as the blade-light faded; this power was too astonishing, the military formation is not a simple addition of strength, it can fully erupt with multiplied power.

The power of this slash even approached that of his final slash in the Simulated Universe, and this was merely the strength of over two hundred people; Mu Yi could not imagine how terrifying it would be with ten thousand.

He did not know whether it was the Yuan Yang Formation being strong enough, or if the military formation's power was inherently like this; but he could be certain that the Military Strategist commanding the great army might be strong beyond his imagination.
