King of Creation Chapter 2215 - 2200: Awaiting the Winds and Clouds to Settle (Second Update)
Previously on King of Creation...
"Resurrection what, even I cannot speculate!" Supreme Elder Wuy Lian’s voice held an inexplicable sense of worry.
"However, what can be confirmed is that this formation was set up very early, probably completed before the Great Zhou’s Human Demon Battlefield defenses were arranged." Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said.
"Impossible!"
Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna was stunned immediately, "This is impossible!"
"The Human Demon Battlefield defenses were the heaven and earth’s great plan at the time, how could the Demon Clan have set it up in advance?"
Supreme Elder Wuy Lian glanced indifferently at Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, "That I am not clear about! However, there are countless formations on the Human Demon Battlefield; even if the Demon Clan had numerous Demon Gods involved, it would not be possible to set up such a grand formation beneath the Human Demon Battlefield defenses unbeknownst to anyone."
"Besides, why this formation exists is a question that should be investigated and explored by you, the rulers of the Ancestor God Temple, rather than asking me."
The congregation of Power Priests fell silent on this point. This issue was extremely complex.
But indeed, if it was as Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said, the mysterious blood-red light screen formation was truly completed before the Human Demon Battlefield defenses were arranged.
Then the completion of this subterranean blood-red light screen mysterious formation must date back at least ninety thousand years.
To resurrect what kind of existence with a formation set by the Demon Clan ninety thousand years ago?
This matter, merely thinking about it is extremely frightening.
During the Human Demon War back then, countless Demon Gods and Human Clan’s Creation Gods fell.
If there is to be a resurrection, it surely would be the Demon Gods who fell at that time.
The Demon Gods who fell in that period possessed incomparably terrifying existences.
"Then for destruction, what would be the scope?" Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo hurriedly asked.
"For destruction, with the energy fluctuations sensed by me, the entire Human Demon Battlefield defense can be destroyed in an instant, causing the million-strong army here to vanish in a blink of an eye, and the Ten Thousand Prisons Mountain Range natural danger and Earth Vein where the Human Demon Battlefield is located will also be obliterated in a flash!" Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said.
Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo’s complexion turned pale, "If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Demon Clan be able to invade unimpeded?"
"More than just unimpeded invasion!"
Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan looked extremely solemn, "The Human Demon Battlefield concentrates thirty percent of our Great Zhou’s elite military power. Once this thirty percent of the army is completely annihilated, our Great Zhou will inevitably be gravely weakened.
For a long time, it would probably be impossible to stop the Demon Clan’s forces! When the time comes...."
Hearing this, Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo seemed to have already foreseen the terrible consequences, immediately spoke, "Dare to ask Supreme Elder, is there a way to break the formation?"
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Supreme Elder Wuy Lian slowly shook his head, "To break the formation, we must find all the formation nodes, only then can I attempt to break it.
Moreover, even if the formation can be broken, the terrifying quantity of blood-colored energy contained within is a deadlock.
Once the formation is broken, the blood-colored energy contained within will inevitably explode, causing the entire Human Demon Battlefield defense to be destroyed!"
"Neither destroying nor leaving it intact solves the problem; then how do we deal with this formation?" Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo’s eyes were full of anxiety!
The Human Demon Battlefield defenses are, after all, the foundation of the nation!
Once the Human Demon Battlefield defenses fail, and the loss of the millions-strong elite army here happens, then the Great Zhou would....
"In this world, everything has roots to trace!" Supreme Elder Wuy Lian’s voice carried a curious transcendental meaning, "As long as the root is found, it can be broken."
"And the root of the mysterious formation within this Blood River Forbidden Land is the accumulated vast quantity of blood-colored energy. As long as this terrifying quantity of blood-colored energy is drained or neutralized, no matter how mysterious and profound the formation is, it will be rendered useless!" Wuy Lian said.
"Then how to drain or neutralize this blood-colored energy?" Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna spoke.
"I need time and a lot of manpower to cooperate." Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said.
"Any force within Ancestor God Temple, whatever you demand, will fearlessly cooperate with you." Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo promised.
"As for the forces on the court side, whatever Elder Wuy needs, just speak freely; surely His Majesty will approve." The hunched Old Eunuch, who had been silent, spoke slowly.
"In that case, I will exert my full efforts." Supreme Elder Wuy Lian nodded.
....
"Order the Fire Swallow Army to change into ordinary armor, feign weakness, defend the city steadfastly, and when the Demon Clan army arrives, re-launch an attack on Cairo Fortress’s army."
"Order Heu Qi to lead one hundred thousand elites, maneuver externally, and seize the opportunity to destroy or besiege the Demon Clan army attacking Yang Gate Fortress."
"Order each division of Blood River Fortress to defend the city steadfastly, without orders do not venture out lightly."
"Order the First Army, Third Army, Seventh Army, War Wolf Camp, and Demon Slave Camp outside to continue to conceal themselves and await my military order."
As the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri’s army entered the Blood River Fortress defense area, the situation in the entire battle zone immediately became extremely tense.
The previously roaming scouts of the Fire Swallow Army now behaved obediently.
This time, Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri’s army’s advancement was different from the previous assault of the Demon Emperor’s Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s army.
Perhaps due to the failure of the Demon Emperor’s Seventh Crown Prince Congyun’s previous assault, the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri’s army was extremely cautious in its advance.
Especially when passing through the Blood River, hundreds of thousands of troops mobilized almost dried up the nearby blood river, which stretched a thousand miles.
Obviously cautious.
During the march, they responded in formations, adopting defensive stance, cautiously.
However, despite the caution, upon entering the Blood River Fortress hinterland, the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri still had to divide his troops.
Ye Zhen’s Blood River Fortress defense line took Yang Gate Fortress, Blood River Fortress, and Cairo Fortress as its line.
If he did not divide his troops to besiege Yang Gate Fortress and Cairo Fortress, but only attacked Blood River Fortress, then the army from the other two fortresses could flank his army at any time.
Therefore, splitting the troops was an unavoidable tactic.
And this time, because of relatively ample forces, the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri remained quite cautious.
Yang Gate Fortress and Cairo Fortress were each allocated twenty thousand troops for encirclement and attack entanglement, concentrating the main force of sixty thousand troops to attack Blood River Fortress.
In the commander’s tent of the Demon Emperor’s Second Crown Prince Congyun army camp, the final pre-battle military meeting was underway, "Generals, this time, adhere to previous strategies, advance steadily, and learn from Old Seventh’s failure, to nibble away at Blood River Fortress bit by bit, ultimately to slay Ye Zhen and achieve the final victory!"
Upon hearing these words, the generals under the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Zhui Ri collectively responded with thunderous assent; everyone understood that the so-called final victory mentioned by the Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri meant!
The so-called final victory mentioned by the Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri was not about slaying Ye Zhen!
It was about the final victory of competing for the throne of the Demon Emperor.
As long as Ye Zhen was slain, the support from the Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi and his rewards, as well as a significant increase in reputation, coupled with support from Seventh Prince Cong Yun.
Thereby significantly increasing their chances of competing for the throne of the Demon Emperor.
That was their true purpose for this journey.
At the same moment, in the Demon Clan front line of Jialing City, the resting Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor Congyun was playing chess with Sixw, the disciple of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.
With a gentle placement of a piece, Prophet Demon Master Sixw spoke, "Your Highness, according to reports, Fifth Prince’s forces seem to have sustained heavy damage!"
"Indeed, but Fifth Brother has been blocking the information! It’s still unclear where he lost so much of his forces.
However, according to spies I’ve planted, recently Fifth Brother has been grinding his teeth in hatred towards that Ye Zhen, this matter is likely related to Ye Zhen."
With another gentle placement, Sixw continued, "It seems that Fifth Prince has been clipped, and now Second Prince has made his move."
"Sir, do you think Second Brother has a chance of succeeding?" Seventh Prince Cong Yun asked.
Prophet Demon Master Sixw raised an eyebrow, "You don’t trust your master?"
"How dare I!" Seventh Prince Cong Yun hurriedly apologized with a serious tone.
"Then wait for the storm to pass!"
Snap, a black piece was lightly tapped, turning into countless powder!
