Chapter 82: Heaven and Earth Army, Dao Soldiers!

Special troop type, also called Heaven and Earth Army, or Dao Soldiers!

It was created by the ancestors of the Tianwu Continent, who continuously explored and perfected it over long ages, using military formations to gather the power of ordinary soldiers who practice secret techniques, granting them strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

In a military formation, each Dao Soldier is part of the formation; they communicate with the heaven and earth vital energy, integrating their power into the formation.

This gathering of power doubles the formation's might, even capable of triggering a heaven-and-earth vital energy storm, forming a war Dharma Aspect similar to the War God's Gale Qi Dharma Aspect!

This is also the sole foundation whereby ordinary soldiers of the Tianwu Continent can rely on to contend with War Gods or Cultivation-level experts.

Thus, War Gods and Cultivation experts cannot act recklessly and dominate the world unchecked.

Unlike the War God's Gale Qi Dharma Aspect, such military formations are mostly composed of soldiers' blood energy and battlefield killing intent, making them extremely vicious.

Therefore, they are extremely effective against internal-energy-focused martial artists.

Once an internal-energy cultivating martial artist is trapped by Dao Soldiers using a military formation,

Cultivation-level experts will be disturbed, lose the support of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy, and be slowly drained to death by Dao Soldiers.

Not to mention masters below them; once trapped in a Dao Soldier's military formation, under the erosion of endless battlefield killing intent,

they can only be slaughtered at will.

However, ordinary Cultivation-level or Master-level martial artists come and go like the wind.

As Dao Soldiers of an army, wanting to trap them in a formation is still somewhat difficult.

Moreover, cultivating such Dao Soldiers is extremely demanding.

It requires practicing the same secret technique, and also a suitable military formation of thousands of Dao Soldiers.

Know that military formations are extremely rare to begin with, and most of them are not suitable for Dao Soldiers.

After such screening, suitable formations become even fewer.

Furthermore, various resource supplies and other aspects add to the difficulty.

Therefore, although such Dao Soldiers are extremely powerful, they can even be said to be the killer's mace with which most dynasties suppress martial artists, who dare not defy.

After all, for martial arts sects, people can flee, but their mountain gates cannot.

However, under these extremely demanding conditions, even among the Five Great Dynasties, such Dao Soldiers are extremely rare.

Moreover, due to various resource reasons, the number of each Dao Soldier unit cannot be large.

At this moment, Meng Zhang leads behind him these three thousand Yellow Turban Warriors, which already constitute most of what Zhang Jiao organized.

If these three thousand Yellow Turban Warriors were to fall here, then the Yellow Turban Warriors that Zhang Jiao has newly organized over the years through various channels could be said to be in name only, their substance lost.

Know that the Yellow Turbans had secretly prepared for years behind the scenes, and when they first rose, they swept across several provinces of the Great Qian Central Region.

During this period, the resources looted by the Yellow Turbans can be described as piled up like mountains, countless.

But even in such an environment, possessing the complete Yellow Turban Warrior secret technique and a military formation suitable for them—the Yellow Heaven Great Formation—

Zhang Jiao has only managed to organize these several thousand Yellow Turban Warriors over these years.

And at this moment, under Meng Zhang's command, the giant formation composed of thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors envelops the entire battlefield.

They wear yellow headscarves, each stalwart in build, holding various weapons, standing expressionless, like stone statues.

Their combined strength converges into a mighty current, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

"Dao Soldiers?"

"Impossible!"

"A bunch of mud-legged peasants!"

Seeing the slowly enveloping Yellow Heaven Great Formation, Lan Youhai's eyes nearly popped out; his voice changed from shock, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't fathom how a group of mud-legged peasants plus a group of sewer rats constituting the Taiping Sect,

could actually possess Dao Soldiers, this high-end gear only dynasties can afford.

But the opposing Yellow Turban Warriors gave him no time for surprise or reaction.

At the sound of an order, the Yellow Turban Warriors began to gather and launch an attack.

Their bodily blood energy merged with battlefield killing intent, coordinating with the operating Yellow Heaven Great Formation, turning into streaks of yellow phantoms that fluttered around Lan Youhai.

Their power coalesced into a massive yellow light sphere, which slammed fiercely into Lan Youhai.

Faced with the ferocious assault of the Yellow Turban Warriors, Lan Youhai had no time to ponder their origin.

Now the most important thing is his own life.

Wielding his Blood Jade Snake Scale Spear, an invisible force shot from its tip, his whole body surging with emerald-green qi, forming a brilliant emerald-green light curtain.

The light curtain collided with the yellow light sphere, emitting a deafening boom.

A powerful shockwave spread from the impact point, making the surrounding land tremble violently.

But the Yellow Turban Warriors, already linked into a single entity by the Yellow Heaven Great Formation, felt no fear; they did not move their bodies, instead mobilizing their blood energy to continue attacking Lan Youhai.

At this moment, each Yellow Turban Warrior in the Yellow Heaven Great Formation is like a precise machine, moving according to specific steps and rhythms, forming an impregnable offense-defense system.

Although Lan Youhai, as the War God, is brave, under the Yellow Turban Warriors' relentless wave-like attacks, he gradually begins to show signs of being overwhelmed.

Within the camp, as the Yellow Heaven Great Formation operates, it frantically draws power from heaven and earth; the surrounding vital energy and battlefield killing intent begin to gather, converging around the Yellow Turban Warriors, forming powerful currents.

Under the formation's guidance, this mixed current gradually forms within the great formation a massive Yellow Heaven Dharma Aspect similar to the War God's Dharma Aspect.

Unlike the War God's Gale Qi Dharma Aspect, this massive Yellow Heaven Dharma Aspect is formed from the Dao Soldiers' blood energy mixed with the battlefield's killing intent.

Moreover, its size is far greater than that of the War God's Gale Qi Dharma Aspect.

Even placed on an ordinary battlefield, just by virtue of its enormous size,

it is also a huge disaster for ordinary soldiers.

As long as the military formation on the Dao Soldiers remains unbroken,

then this unit of Dao Soldiers activating its Dharma Aspect on the battlefield is practically a gigantic meat grinder.

At this moment, the Dharma Aspect constructed by the Yellow Turban Warriors with the aid of the Yellow Heaven Great Formation is a massive energy body, emitting brilliant light that illuminates the entire battlefield.

This Dharma Aspect stands nearly ten-something zhang tall, clad in yellow battle armor, wielding a massive battle axe.

Its face bore no expression; only a pair of bright, spirited eyes flashed with a mysterious light, as if it could see through everything, sending a chill down one's spine.

The Dharma Aspect's whole body exuded a powerful aura, as if it were an endless source of energy, displaying boundless power and majesty.

Yellow light swirled around its body, the light flickering like flames and giving off a scorching aura.

Even on the battlefield, this scorching aura made it impossible to approach.

Most astonishing was the battle axe held in the Dharma Aspect's hand.

This battle axe was forged from the primordial qi of heaven and earth combined with the killing qi of the battlefield, radiating a brilliant light.

When the battle axe swung unconsciously, the released power seemed capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, inspiring awe.

The brothers have returned.
