The two Emperors had forged their reputations through blood and battle. They were extremely experienced and had reacted extremely quickly, but when facing an unprecedented opponent like Wang Chong, they were still a step behind.

Wang Chong’s order for Guo Ziyi and the others to activate the formation was not as simple or casual as it seemed.

The moment Guo Ziyi and the others had gone, the activation of the formation was unstoppable, and it would not matter how much faster Ozmish Khagan and the others moved.

Boom!

Winds howled, and the skies seemed on the verge of tearing open. In the air, the blurry scene instantly became extremely distinct, and everyone could finally see what it was.

This was an ancient battlefield of gods and devils!

Amidst the dark clouds and mist, one could see the mountainous bodies of gods and devils scattered across the battlefield. Some of them had three heads and six arms, while others had the heads of humans and the bodies of beasts. Some were a wicked pitch-black while others were as resplendent as gold.

They had savage or fiendish expressions, and though they wore divine armor, the bodies beneath had decayed away long ago, some of them even leaving nothing but white bones. Some of them were even dismembered, their four limbs and heads scattered about.

Gold and black blood flowed freely on this god-devil battlefield like rivers, seeming horrific yet beautiful.

Countless massive sabers, swords, chains, halberds, flags… all of them seemed to have been cut apart by some sharp object and then destroyed, the remnants spread out across the battlefield amidst the numerous corpses.

Kacrack!

From the center of this battlefield came a blood-freezing crack of thunder. Here, where the fog and clouds were the thickest, one could see the most frightening thing on this battlefield.

This was a sharp blade that was tens of thousands of feet long, thrust into the ground and dripping with gold and black blood!

Beneath the sharp blade were the shattered remnants of divine weapons and a pile of corpses, their lifeless eyes looking up to the heavens, still exuding death and fear!

In a flash, everyone understood that the one that had killed the gods and devils, destroyed the divine weapons, and created this battlefield was none other than this terrifying divine blade!

At the moment this ancient and enormous god-devil battlefield fully emerged, time seemed to stop.

Everyone was struck dumb by this grandiose and shocking sight.

“What’s that?”

Deep shock emerged in everyone’s eyes.

Even Ozmish Khagan and Yeon Gaesomun were deeply stunned.

Though formation phenomena had been lost for nearly one thousand years, some information on them had remained. But this vast god-devil battlefield, the countless corpses of gods and devils, and that terrifying blade…

All this had gone beyond the realm of their imagination.

“Impossible! How could an ant-like mortal have something like this?”

At this moment, no one was more shocked than the Divine Works Elder.

Even though this war involved several empires and had brought together millions of soldiers, the Divine Works Elder had elected to sit on the sidelines, viewing this mortal war with disdain.

Why should a god on high have to care about some war between humans?

After all, all of this was being guided by the gods.

These mortals were all chess pieces.

But when the Great Tang’s formation appeared, the Divine Works Elder’s understanding of the situation was completely upset.

Formation phenomena were merely weather phenomena. This image of god-devils should never have appeared.

God-devils were not some illusion, nor were they something that imagination alone could realize.

This meant that the ability that Tang youth had used had reached the apex, going far past formation phenomena and reaching the level of gods and devils.

Even some of the powerful and ancient formations that the Celestial God Organization had kept concealed could not compare to this.

He had examined the diagrams for many kinds of formation phenomena, but he had never seen a formation phenomenon like this. There was no record of this sort of thing.

This was clearly abnormal!

A mortal should not have been able to wield a power stronger than that of the gods!

The Divine Works Elder was thoroughly shaken, his calm completely lost!

An Lushan and Gao Shang looked at the Divine Works Elder, also deeply shaken.

The two of them did not understand what formation phenomena signified, but they did understand this proud member of the Celestial God Organization.

Genesis Supreme had said that the Divine Works Elder possessed a vast sea of knowledge—knowledge of almost everything in the Celestial God Organization linked to war.

This was the first time the two of them had seen him so disconcerted.

There was no doubt that this formation phenomenon Wang Chong had created was far more frightening than they had imagined.

The Divine Works Elder came to his senses and called out to An Lushan and Gao Shang, “Hurry! Activate the formation! Or else it will be too late!”

The two of them saw a panicked expression on his face that they had never seen before.

But the developments were happening too quickly, and no matter how frantically the Divine Works Elder roared, everything was set in stone the moment that ancient god-devil battlefield had appeared.

Rumble!

Wang Chong’s eyes shone with a light brighter than the sun as he activated the formation.

The Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation!

This was the strongest formation of the apocalyptic era, and through Wang Chong’s hands, it was being used in this world for the first time.

When this formation was first created, countless people had rejoiced, forgetting that the stronger the formation, the more rigorous its requirements were.

The number one formation of the apocalyptic era had been the fusion of several dozen formations. Countless seniors had vomited blood and even given up their lives to eventually produce this formation, so one could easily imagine its power.

But the invasion of the otherworldly invaders had damaged the world too much. Talent and manpower were both lacking, making it impossible to meet the formation’s requirements and bring it into reality. This had been one the greatest regrets of that era.

It had also been one of Wang Chong’s greatest regrets.

After his reincarnation, Wang Chong wanted to change the fate of this formation and allow this powerful formation that was the congregation of the essence of countless seniors to appear in reality so that their effort would not be in vain.

Alas, the conditions had remained unfulfilled.

Using this formation required many elite soldiers and strong generals, and the requirements for cultivation were extremely high. A large number of inscriptions, formations, weapons, and armor were also required. These were not conditions an ordinary person could fulfill.

Moreover, the Great Tang had only six hundred thousand soldiers in total, and they were spread out. The Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation required two hundred thousand soldiers, so successfully realizing it was easier said than done.

Ordinary soldiers simply could not fulfill this requirement.

But once the new Emperor was enthroned, he was able to recruit many soldiers and had the support of the government and the treasury. He was also capable of recruiting all the inscription and formation masters. Wang Chong was finally able to realize this supreme formation and fulfill the aspirations of so many people from his last life.

Rumble!

With a great rumbling, an immense and violent energy slammed into the Goguryeon and Eastern Turkic armies.

“Ah!”

Countless cavalry, boosted by their halos and formations, were charging at full speed, but a moment later, they seemed to slam into an invisible wall. Tens of thousands of cavalry were tossed high into the air by a terrifying stream of energy.

This energy was so powerful that all the horsemen struck by it were instantly slain, blood gushing out of their bodies.

It appeared as if thousands of swords and sabers had pierced through their bodies.

Bang!

A Goguryeon soldier atop a horse suddenly dismounted from his horse while still sixty-some feet away. Meanwhile, the armored horse continued to travel at high speed into the Tang formation.

The Goguryeon warrior rolled on the ground, and then his arms spread apart as he lunged at the Tang army like a fierce beast.

This was Goguryeo’s renowned foot cavalry tactic.

The Goguryeo Empire was an agricultural society, and its warriors normally fought on foot. Thus, they were extremely fierce warriors, but when it came to cavalry, they were unable to contend against the Khaganates and other steppe civilizations.

Yeon Gaesomun had gone through great lengths to set up a cavalry force, but habits and customs eventually resulted in his failure.

With no other option, Yeon Gaesomun developed this tactic.

When charging, Goguryeo’s foot cavalry charged at full speed, the same as other cavalry, but at the moment of the final clash, the rider would take a flying leap from the horse.

In this way, the horse would continue to charge into the enemy ranks and throw it into disarray while the Goguryeon rider would use the opportunity to attack the opponent.

Those below attacked the horses while those above attacked the enemy soldiers.

Through this tactic, Yeon Gaesomun had been able to defeat numerous cavalry forces and carve out a place of his own in the northeast.

Jumping from a horse charging at full speed was extremely dangerous, and it would deal a lot of damage and shock to these ‘cavalry’.

But the Goguryeo warriors had their ways of neutralizing the impact and even using it to increase the power of their attacks.

In all of the northeast, the Goguryeo Empire was the only faction capable of doing this on a large scale.
