Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16438 The Battle Begins
The Blood Slaughter Sect did indeed intend to build the Three Talents Formation, and they had already prepared for it. So they quickly completed the formations in the three cities, and at the same time, they sent the Thousand Machine Star to various locations along the first line of defense.

Wen Jing thought that the Blood Slaughter Sect would send the Creation Golden Wheel to various parts of the first line of defense, but in the eyes of the Blood Slaughter Sect, the Creation Golden Wheel might not be as useful as the Thousand Machine Star. Of course, this refers to the most common kind of Creation Golden Wheel in the Divine Kingdom. If it were the improved Creation Golden Wheel from the Blood Slaughter Sect, that would be different. Those Creation Golden Wheels are still very useful.

The Creation Golden Wheel, improved by the Blood Slaughter Sect, can rotate in three dimensions. It is somewhat like a simplified and enlarged version of the Evolutionary Sphere, but it does not have the same calculation ability as the Evolutionary Sphere. It can only be used as a magic array. However, this improved Creation Golden Wheel can be directly transformed into a series of three-dimensional spherical magic arrays. Its power is incomparable to that of a planar magic array.

This new Creation Golden Wheel is quite powerful. It can be transformed into a magic array or even a formation. The Blood Slaughter Sect has also produced many of these improved Creation Golden Wheels. If this Creation Golden Wheel is only used to set up magic arrays and not directly for combat, it is indeed more useful than the Thousand Machine Star. However, if it is used for combat, the Creation Golden Wheel is a bit inferior. After all, it can only be used to release spells, but it is not as versatile as the Thousand Machine Star in terms of attack methods when used to set up magic arrays.

However, it's not the right time to use this improved Creation Golden Wheel yet. So, they're setting up a magic array at the first defensive line using the Thousand Machine Star. The Thousand Machine Star can also be used as a magic array, but its array variations aren't as numerous as those of the Creation Golden Wheel. After all, it's not a professional tool for this. But it's fine to use it temporarily for now.

This wasn't the first time the Blood Slaughter Sect had set up a magic array like this, so everything went smoothly. The three most important nodes were captured, and three main array eyes were established. Thousand Machine Stars were arranged at all the other smaller array eyes, and adjustments were made. All that was left was to activate the magic array.

Although this wasn't the first time the Blood Slaughter Sect had established such a formation, they were still very careful. Before activating the formation, they conducted a test to ensure that every Thousand Machine Star was in its designated position and could function properly. Only in this way could their Three Talents Formation be truly established.

Actually, calling this a Three Talents Formation isn't entirely accurate. It should be called a Three Talents Formation Group, which is composed of individual magic arrays. However, the Blood Slaughter Sect uses these individual magic arrays as array symbols, which makes the Three Talents Formation Group even more powerful.

The Three Talents Formation is not a simple formation; it is actually a formation that combines Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. This formation is extremely powerful, containing changes in Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, and changes in the Five Elements, making it infinitely versatile.

At this moment, Chang Jun was standing in the command hall of Wuwei City. Beside him stood an elder of the Shenji Hall. Chang Jun looked at the projection and said, "Is everything ready?"

The elder from the Divine Mechanism Hall replied, "Yes, it's ready."

Chang Jun said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's start it then." The elder of Shenji Hall responded, and then with a flick of his hand, a compass appeared in his hand. He then touched the compass.

As he touched the compass, a beam of light shot straight into the sky from Wuwei City, Jushi City, and Dongtian City. The light from Jushi City was yellow, from Wuwei City it was white, and from Dongtian City it was red. Subsequently, white lights also shot into the sky from various locations along the first defensive line. These lights were quickly spotted by the people at the various bases along the first defensive line. They all looked at the white lights with some confusion. Because the lights were very high, they could be seen even from a distance from their bases. However, they did not know where the lights came from or why they appeared in the sky.

Of course, they immediately reported the matter to the elders in charge of each base. The elders in charge of the bases did not dare to make a decision on their own. They immediately reported the matter to the commanding elders in each base. Unfortunately, the commanding elders in each base were almost all from major sects, families, the military, or the royal family. All of these people were at the second line of defense. However, the elders in charge of the bases had their own communication arrays, so they reported the matter to those people through the communication arrays.

Upon hearing this, those people immediately reported it to their respective sects and families, and of course, to Gongliang Juewen. Just as they were reporting, the white lights that had shot into the sky all converged on the three beams of light. Soon, these lights intertwined and transformed into three-colored light, which spread across the first defensive line. As the light spread, everyone in the Divine Kingdom stationed at the first defensive line quickly sensed something was wrong. They felt immense pressure emanating from the white light. They then discovered that their illusionary stone array, teleportation array, and communication array were all unusable. Moreover, the pressure on them increased, as if a rope was coiling around them, making it extremely difficult to even struggle, let alone move.

Of course, there were also some powerful kingdom-level experts who could still move. They wanted to escape the first line of defense before they were completely entangled by this force. They found that the teleportation array was unusable, so they tried to fly away. However, they soon discovered that they couldn't leave at all. The pressure was even greater when they went from the underground base to the surface. As they flew towards the second line of defense against that pressure, they found that the further they flew, the greater the pressure became. Some people couldn't fly any further before they even reached the boundary of the first line of defense and were trapped there. Some people withstood the pressure and flew to the boundary, only to find that the boundary was covered by a protective shield, and they had no way to fly out.

This trapped everyone at the first line of defense. At this moment, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples finally made their move. They flew directly to the various bases, gathered all the people there, and then planted necromancy runes on them, turning them into their own people.

From the perspective of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, there was no need for the sect to persuade them to surrender anymore. They figured that once they turned them into the undead race, they would be one of their own. Moreover, since the undead race could be resurrected indefinitely, turning them into the undead race wouldn't affect them at all. So they decided to just turn them into the undead race.

Wu Qian was also at the second line of defense, so when he heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately wanted to send someone to the first line of defense to check the situation. However, he found that the teleportation array and communication array at the first line of defense were not working. He immediately sent someone to fly to the first line of defense, and soon his subordinates reported that the first line of defense was covered by a three-colored light shield. They tried to attack it, but it was completely useless. Although the light shield looked semi-transparent and not very thick, their attacks did not react at all when they landed on it. Keep in mind that Wu Qian sent out a kingdom-level expert. Even the attacks of a kingdom-level expert did not have any effect, which shows how strong the light shield was.

Wu Qian immediately reported the matter to Gongliang Juewen, who then summoned Qingxuan and the others to the main hall of Wukong City. Qingxuan and the others arrived at the hall as soon as possible, only to find Gongliang Juewen already waiting for them. This was the first time they had seen Gongliang Juewen, the emperor, who, according to etiquette, should have been the last to arrive. It was unexpected that he was already waiting for them, showing how anxious Gongliang Juewen was this time.

After everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them and said, "I think you all know why I called you here today, right? Minister Wen, I want to apologize to you. Last time I didn't heed your words and didn't make everyone at the first line of defense retreat to the second line of defense. That was my mistake."

Wen Jing quickly stood up and said to Gongliang Juewen, "Your Majesty is too kind. This is not Your Majesty's fault at all. At that time, I was just guessing. It is indeed unlikely that we would have to withdraw everyone from the first line of defense based on a guess, since the impact would be too great. Even I did not think it was necessary to withdraw everyone from the first line of defense. If Your Majesty had not allowed it, and most of the kingdom-level experts from the first line of defense had been withdrawn to the second line of defense, our losses would have been even greater. Therefore, Your Majesty is not only not wrong, but has made the most correct decision."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. It was indeed not Gongliang Juewen's fault. They had agreed with him at the time, and now that they thought about it, if they had been in his position, they probably wouldn't have dared to order the withdrawal of most of the kingdom-level experts to the second line of defense. That would have required a lot of courage. So, not only should Gongliang Juewen not be blamed, but they should be grateful to him.

Gongliang Juewen waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about what happened before. Whether it was right or wrong, it's already done and there's no way to change it. Now we need to think about how to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect's formation. Minister Wen, you said before that the Blood Slaughter Sect set up a Three Talents Formation there, is that right?"

Wen Jing nodded and said, "It is indeed a Three Talents Formation. There is also an elder of our sect at the front line. He went to see it in person. Judging from the protective shield released by the formation, it is indeed a Three Talents Formation. There is no mistake."

"I recall that the Three Talents Formation is the most basic magic formation, right? Does that mean that it's very easy to break such a formation?"
