Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1813 Chapter 473: The Great Battle (Part 3)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Dragon Gate City boasts three defensive barriers: the outermost shields the outer city, the middle one safeguards the inner city, and the innermost encircles the core area.
In fierce large-scale conflicts, as enemies launch relentless assaults from every direction, the outer barrier crumbles first. Before foes can advance to the second barrier, myriad defenders within the city walls cling desperately to their posts. Retreat to the core city happens solely in the direst of moments.
"The moment has come for Dragon Shield Tower to step up and shield the Kun Dragon Army along with the Dragon-cutting Army!"
Long Ying called out softly, "Assemble the array!"
Duan Yuan and his comrades bellowed together, unleashing the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array. Radiant golden glows burst from their figures, their immortal power establishing the array's core. The arrays they activated hummed in harmony and swiftly combined into a unified whole.
Shi Miao lifted his hand to join the array, seamlessly blending into the structure.
Li Hao then unleashed his immortal power, swiftly drawing patterns in the air, and as the formation took shape, he merged with it, claiming a spot at the dragon's tail end.
Trailing behind them stretched an immense force made up of diverse clans, each unveiling their authentic shapes—odd and varied, yet marked by insignias bearing the Kan or Kun symbols on various limbs or torsos.
Among their ranks, massive banners whipped through the breeze, steadying the troops' unyielding spirit.
At Long Ying's hushed command, the nine of them shifted into the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array, wrapping the enormous dual armies inside its embrace.
The moment it happened, Li Hao sensed that upon these warriors entering the array, their immortal power flowed into the formation too, forging a looping harmony of mutual reinforcement.
"Kill!"
Amid a torrent of furious cries, the Ancient Demon Army pressed ahead like a tidal wave.
From the city battlements, hordes of silhouettes poured forth, storming beyond the walls, as both factions unleashed deafening bellows that echoed a myriad times fiercer than rolling thunder.
Across this grand theater of war, Li Hao realized the formation shaped by their nine, encompassing the two armies under its guard, appeared merely as a tiny fragment, utterly unremarkable, while single fighters resembled mere specks of dust or ants, vanishing into oblivion.
Kill!
The opposing forces also arrayed into battle shapes, morphing into a pair of savage wild dragons with limbs forged like searing metal and bodies of overwhelming might, hurtling into the fray.
The Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array intertwined with the Barbarian Dragon Army's setups, enhancing one another to create a piercing vanguard that plunged deep into the Ancient Demon ranks.
Inside the Ancient Demon horde, the Yan Ghost Array coalesced, twisting into a malevolent colossal black specter crafted from hundreds of thousands of True Immortal Ancient Demons, as if emerging from the depths of hell, lashing out its limb toward Li Hao and his group.
"Dragon Counter!"
Long Ying issued a steady murmur, masterfully directing the array, and the golden dragon form woven by the nine flared its scales in a fierce riposte.
The Yan Ghost Array, born from those hundreds of thousands of Ancient Demons, unleashed devastation that even a novice Immortal King would struggle to endure, highlighting the sheer dread of such arrays.
As the massive specter's dark limb swept downward, the dragon's scales ripped through it, visibly wounding the foe. Right then, the two wild dragons inside the formation lunged forward, sinking teeth into the specter's frame and tearing free wisps of inky fog. The array's perimeter instantly pierced the enemy lines, hauling out Ancient Demons and pulverizing them on the spot.
Li Hao held position at the dragon's tail; since the creature's head led the charge, he hadn't fully committed his strength yet and retained some reserves. He surveyed the chaos and spotted enormous silhouettes of battle arrays everywhere, marching across the field, channeling amplified group might that swelled several times over, perhaps even tenfold.
Empowered by these battle arrays, vast numbers of True Immortals could fell an Immortal King!
Lacking such arrays, True Immortals wouldn't scratch an Immortal King even if it slumbered right before them.
Through endless eras of conflict, these battle arrays had been refined to perfection.
Now immersed in this warzone, Li Hao found himself amid booming clashes and wails, where laws shattered endlessly, realm forces stretched out only to shatter in moments, rendering even the Immortal King level as transient as a spark in the chaos.
All at once, a dark colossal specter barreled in from the flank, targeting the dragon's tail.
