Chapter 2491
The Night King roared, transmitting the command into the consciousness of each commander of the combined formation. His voice was full of urgency and determination, but his tone had lost its former majesty and was now tinged with helplessness.
However, the situation of utter defeat was already irreversible.
Even though the orders were relayed to every battle zone, the soldiers in the bizarrely combined formation were already consumed by fear and only cared about fleeing. No one obeyed the orders, the formation became more and more scattered, and the defeat became more and more complete.
The Eternal Saint King stood high in the sky, taking in everything. His eyes were so sinister they seemed to drip water, and his body emanated a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. His killing intent soared to the heavens, almost freezing the void.
His sharp, knife-like eyes were fixed on the white-haired demon god within the Qiongqi formation, his heart burning with rage.
Everything he had meticulously planned, the battle strategy he had laid out for so long, was completely thwarted by this human cultivator!
"Holy King, what should we do now? The battle has collapsed. If this continues, our army will be completely annihilated!"
The Night King strode to the side of the Immortal Saint King. He had lost his composure and was completely flustered. His voice was full of anxiety and fear.
"Sigh..." The Eternal Life Saint King sighed deeply, his gaze sweeping across the entire situation. Looking at the Qiongqi Formation, which was still entangled with Chen Xuan and had not made any progress, he finally gritted his teeth, shouted in a deep voice, and gave the order to retreat.
"The main force at the key passes, stay behind to cover the rear, retreat step by step, and secure the retreat route!"
As he finished speaking, a hint of barely suppressed anger flashed across his face as he looked at the already utterly defeated Eight Domains Battlefield, his tone resolute:
"All troops within the Eight Domains Battle Zone, withdraw immediately without resistance!"
Upon hearing this, the Night King immediately became anxious and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Holy King, no! If we retreat now, without top-tier combat power to cover our rear, our army will inevitably be pursued and slaughtered by the enemy, resulting in enormous losses. We might not even be able to secure our retreat route!"
"There's no time!" The Eternal Saint King narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy as he looked at the Eternal Night Monarch, his tone filled with impatience and helplessness.
"What? Could you possibly summon a Thousand-Refined Puppet Demon that can rival that Immortal King's Dharma Form and the white-haired demon god that Chen Xuan transformed into?"
The Night King was taken aback by the question, his whole body stiffened, and the words that were about to come out were instantly swallowed back, his aura immediately weakening.
He turned to look at the one-sided battle, watching his own soldiers being relentlessly pursued and killed. He was filled with resentment, yet there was nothing he could do.
The Eternal Saint King is right. The Strange Clan has no more trump cards left.
"What? Retreat immediately?" A commander of the Thousand Refinement Puppet Demons, who was still struggling to resist the attacks of the Heartless faction, was stunned when he heard the order to retreat. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief and turned his head sharply to look.
But he saw that the other commanders who had fought alongside him had already turned into streaks of light and ran faster than rabbits, without even the slightest hesitation.
"Is this retreat without any regard for our lives?" the commander roared, his voice filled with anger and despair. But before he could finish speaking, he was struck by a sharp sword aura, and the formation instantly cracked open, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
"Commander, stop talking nonsense and retreat immediately! It will be too late if we delay any longer!" The cries and urgings of his strange army came from below. The commander could only grit his teeth, give up resistance, and lead the remaining soldiers in a sorry state.
The widespread rout instantly swept across all battlegrounds of the strange race.
This scene was clearly witnessed by Daoist Liuyue, the commander of Boundless City. His eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light, and he roared in a low voice, his voice resounding throughout the entire army of cultivators:
"The Eight Domains Battle Circle has collapsed! Brothers, kill! Kill! Kill! Pursue the victory and leave the strange creatures no way out!"
"die!"
"Trying to leave? Stay here! Today is your death day!"
……
The roars reverberated throughout the eight regions. Lu Xueqi, Piaoxue, Yu'er, Qiu Zixian, Bai Qianjue, Bai Qianhuan and other leaders of the Jueqing faction, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, unleashed the power of their combined formations. Their sword light cascaded like waterfalls as they charged wildly toward the fleeing Thousand Refined Puppet Demons.
The strange array that was originally intact quickly collapsed under their attack, causing widespread devastation.
This time, it's completely different from the past.
In the past, whenever the strange array was torn apart, the army of the cultivator civilization would rush into the array immediately, frantically slaughtering the strange creatures inside and looting the treasures within.
At this moment, the leaders of the Ruthless faction had no time to slaughter or loot treasures. They were only focused on chasing and attacking the still intact strange formations, giving them no chance to catch their breath or regroup.
"You, slaughter the army of strange creatures scattered in the void and clean up the battlefield!" Lu Xueqi, Qiu Zixian, Qing Tianyuer, Piaoxue and others turned around, their gazes sweeping over the anti-void formation of their own camp. They gave the order in a deep voice, their tone resolute and without the slightest hesitation.
This bloody and resolute scene instantly caught the eyes of the Eternal Night King and the Immortal Saint King.
The Eternal Night King was utterly shocked, his whole body trembling, while the Immortal Saint King was completely stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that the leaders of the Ruthless faction could be so restrained from greed and so resolute, completely disregarding the treasures in the formation, only wanting to press their advantage and completely crush the combined army of the Strange Clan.
It should be understood that after the formation is torn apart, killing the soldiers inside and looting the treasures within the formation is the most crucial moment in a battle between cultivators, when one can accumulate strength and obtain opportunities.
Human nature is inherently greedy. The Eternal Saint King was certain that the army of cultivators would inevitably become engrossed in slaughter and plunder, thus giving the other fleeing Thousand Refined Puppet Demons time to retreat.
However, he ultimately underestimated the determination and resources of the Ruthless Clan, as well as the cultivator civilization's obsession with winning this battle for destiny.
Meanwhile, in the Void Realm, the Qiongqi Combined Formation, which had long been weakened and on the verge of collapse, finally unleashed its final burst of power.
However, what erupted was not the power of the combined Qiongqi formation, but a soaring sword beam.
The sword light was dazzling, intertwined with green and yellow, and carried the power to tear apart heaven and earth and shatter the void. It burst out from the core of the Qiongqi Formation!
blah-
A piercing sound of space tearing rang out, and the sword light cleaved a huge crack in the void, from which black spatial turbulence surged forth, howling incessantly.
woohoo-
The sword light swept in all directions, and wherever it passed, the base of the Qiongqi Combined Array shattered inch by inch, and the eerie green spiritual light quickly dissipated. The defense built by millions of array bases was as fragile as paper in front of this sword light.
"break!"
Chen Xuan let out a low roar that reverberated throughout the entire Void Realm, his voice filled with determination and exhilaration.
Having accompanied the Qiongqi formation and played with the nine strange commanders for so long, he had lost all interest in continuing the entanglement.
The Northern Darkness Sword, entwined with yellow water, became even more powerful after breaking through the Qiongqi Formation, its sword light surging ten thousand feet.
The once towering, menacing Qiongqi phantom, standing at 30,000 feet tall, could no longer maintain its form and collapsed instantly under the impact of the sword light.
