Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 365 The decisive battle is imminent!

Zhao Gongming was the first to sacrifice the Earth Spirit Pearl. The heavy pearl felt slightly hot in his palm. The powerful earth magic power was like a thick earth dragon, instantly bombarding the Xuanwu node.

That node was the key to the northern line of the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation. After being hit by the Earth Spirit Pearl, the basalt that had been emitting a soft spiritual light instantly dimmed, as if it had been drained of its energy. Cracks spread rapidly, making "cracking" sounds that were particularly clear in the silent night sky. The surrounding soil also began to vibrate, as if an earthquake had come.

At the same time, the other nine disciples of Jiejiao also cast earth-based spells and launched continuous attacks on the nodes.

Their movements were in unison and their spells were precise. Rays of ochre-colored light surged toward the basalt nodes like a tide, further exacerbating the damage to the nodes.

Under the continuous attacks, the basalt node gradually couldn't bear it anymore and groaned under the heavy burden. Huge cracks appeared on it like a spider web.

In the night sky, dark clouds rolled and lightning could be vaguely seen, indicating that a storm was about to come.

After the node could no longer withstand the continuous attacks, a loud "bang" was heard, and the huge basalt collapsed and turned into rubble all over the sky. A huge gap appeared on the northern line of the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation, as if a wound was torn open.

Gravel flew, dust rose, the originally neat array instantly became chaotic, and the entire northern defense line began to crumble.

The Xiqi defenders were caught off guard, and some soldiers were hit by earth-based spells. They screamed in pain and fell to the ground wailing.

The soldiers fled in panic, the situation was chaotic, weapons were scattered all over the ground, screams and the sound of weapons colliding mixed together, it was a complete mess.

At this time, Lei Zhenzi noticed something unusual on the northern front. Seeing a huge gap in the northern front, he immediately became furious:
"Be bold!"

Without any hesitation, he swooped down quickly, turned into a flash of lightning, and flew towards the gap. The strong wind brought by his wings blew up the dust on the ground like a tornado.

His eyes were filled with rage, lightning surrounded his body, and he was like an angry god of thunder, smashing down with astonishing momentum.

At the breach, the disciples of Jiejiao were preparing to pursue the victory, but when they saw Lei Zhenzi appear, they couldn't help but smile.

"You are late!"

Lei Zhenzi became even more angry and rushed into the enemy camp without hesitation and started fighting immediately!
In an instant, the golden brick was swung, bringing up bursts of golden light and accurately hitting a disciple.

The disciple groaned and was knocked several feet away, falling into the collapsed basalt rubble, with dust flying everywhere.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming smiled contemptuously, and the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand shone brightly, and a thick earth-yellow light column hit Lei Zhenzi directly.

Lei Zhenzi waved the gold brick and tried to block it, but he felt a huge force coming, which made his arm numb and his body staggered involuntarily.

The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, which showed how powerful Zhao Gongming's attack was.

The surrounding Xiqi soldiers witnessed this scene and shouted, trying to support Lei Zhenzi, but they seemed powerless facing dozens of Jiejiao disciples.

Zhao Gongming held the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand and stood proudly in the center of the battlefield. Looking at Lei Zhenzi's embarrassed appearance, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Lei Zhenzi, you are nothing more than this!"

The disciples of Jiejiao behind him stepped forward one after another and tried to surround Lei Zhenzi.

Lei Zhenzi adjusted his body shape, flipped the gold brick in his hand, lightning flashed, and he shouted angrily:
"Don't think about it!"

Immediately, he flapped his wings, and the strong airflow blew the surrounding Jiejiao disciples all over the place. He took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and flew high into the sky.

Looking down from a high altitude, Lei Zhenzi could clearly see the situation on the battlefield. The northern front had completely collapsed and the Xiqi soldiers were retreating step by step.

"Damn it!"

He cursed inwardly, knowing that he had to find a solution as soon as possible. He looked around for a moment, his eyes fixed on a team of elite soldiers from Xiqi not far away.

Lei Zhenzi swooped down quickly and stopped not far from the team of elite soldiers. His huge figure cast a shadow. He shouted loudly:
"Everyone, listen up! Follow me to kill the enemy!"

"As ordered!"

Under the leadership of Lei Zhenzi, this team of elite soldiers formed a formation and charged towards the disciples of Jiejiao.

Although they were few in number, they cooperated well and had extremely strong fighting power with magic weapons in hand. For a time, they actually suppressed the disciples of Jiejiao.

At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance, and a team of cavalry quickly came to rescue the Xiqi soldiers.

The leading cavalry general, wearing a battle robe and holding a spear, looked majestic and awe-inspiring. He shouted loudly:

"Reinforcements are arriving!"

With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield also changed.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from Xiqi, Zhao Gongming's face changed slightly, and then he waved his hand, signaling the disciples of Jiejiao to retreat temporarily.

Now that the "Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation" had been broken, their goal had been achieved. The opponent could no longer rely on this already broken formation to show off their strength, and naturally dared not attack at will.

In this way, we will have more time to prepare!

Soon, Jiang Ziya learned from the scouts on the front line that the formation had been broken, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Then he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Pass the order down, the entire army must hold on firmly and prevent the Jiejiao from pursuing us!"

He has a sharp gaze.

Then, Jiang Ziya quickly gave orders, ordering the soldiers in each camp to hold their positions, and sent someone to quickly convey the news of the formation being broken back to Xiqi to inform Qu Ying.

……

……

at the same time.

Inside the Chaoge Palace, Patriarch Tongtian was discussing the arrangement of the "Array of Ten Thousand Immortals" with his disciples from the Jiejiao Sect.

The magnificent hall was resplendent with gold and jade and brightly lit, but the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

Master Tongtian sat upright on the main seat. He was wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe, had an immortal look, and his eyes were deep. He was as unmoved as a deep abyss or a towering mountain.

He looked around and saw that all the disciples of Jiejiao had solemn expressions. They didn't dare to breathe and were quietly waiting for his instructions.

Outside the palace, the cold wind was howling, blowing the eaves of the palace and the flowing long beard of Master Tongtian, highlighting his majesty and momentum at this moment.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as well as a hint of murderous intent.

Tongtian Patriarch gently waved his whisk, pointed at the huge map hanging in the center of the hall, and spoke slowly:
"The Xiqi army is coming with great force. The strength of the Xianjiao should not be underestimated. This battle is related to the rise and fall of the Jiejiao. The arrangement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation must be thorough!"

His tone was calm, yet revealed unquestionable authority.

He explained in detail the arrangement method of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and various details of the formation. The disciples listened attentively and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After finishing the explanation, Master Tongtian looked into the distance with a serious expression, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He stroked the whisk gently and murmured to himself:

"After this battle, the Conferred God Tribulation will come to an end..."

His tone carried a hint of emotion, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of uncertainty about the future.

……

……

Early the next morning, in Xiqi City, Qu Ying was buried in front of his desk, flipping through a mountain of ancient books.

The dim candlelight reflected on her pretty face, highlighting her concentration and seriousness at the moment.

Her slender fingers turned the yellowed pages of the book, her brows were sometimes furrowed, her eyes sometimes brightened, and her expression was unpredictable.

The air was filled with a faint scent of ink and a hint of tension. Suddenly, she heard hurried footsteps, and a messenger rushed in, panting and reporting:

"Report! A letter from Grandpa! The Four Elephants Dragon Trapping Formation has been broken!"

When Qu Ying heard this, the page of the book in her hand fell to the ground. She looked up suddenly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

But then she quickly calmed down and said calmly:

"okay, I get it."

Then she quickly stood up, sorted out the pages scattered on the table, quickly organized her thoughts, and began to study the new formation.

Qu Ying's slender fingers tapped quickly on the table, and her fingertips were faintly flushed, which were the marks left by days of hard work.

She looked focused, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, completely oblivious to the noise coming from outside.

Outside the window, Xiqi City was still bustling with people, but the noise could not disturb her thoughts at the moment.

She needed a formation more powerful than the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation, one that could withstand the full force of the Jie Religion.

She pondered for a moment, then looked out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Xiqi city wall, dyeing it a golden red.

She took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Drawings of various formations and the movement trajectories of various spiritual energies appeared in her mind.

She silently felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, trying to find new inspiration from it.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and a look of understanding appeared on her face.

She quickly picked up the pen and ink and started sketching on the new drawing. The tip of the pen danced on the rice paper, outlining mysterious lines, and a new formation gradually took shape.

This formation is called "Wind and Wave Locking Heaven Formation".

While she was drawing the formation blueprint, she was also deducing the formation's operating rules in her mind, calculating the formation's power, as well as various possible variables.

She meticulously marked the position of the array's core and its operating rules, fearing any mistakes. This was not just a formation, but also a hope, a hope to protect Xiqi.

Three days later, the blueprint for the Fengbo Locking Heaven Formation was finally completed. She immediately issued an order, asking the Xiqi craftsmen to make the formation day and night, and to mobilize all available resources to make the formation as needed.

She personally supervised the work and no carelessness was allowed in any detail. She knew that this decisive battle was related to the life and death of Xiqi and the common people, and there was no room for any mistakes.

After a few days, all the materials were ready.

Qu Ying was wearing a plain robe and a jade pendant around her waist, which made her look particularly elegant and refined.

She walked with steady steps to Jiang Ziya's military camp. Outside the tent, soldiers were coming and going, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Qu Ying walked into the tent and saw Jiang Ziya sitting in front of a desk, studying the sand table with a frown on his brow.

He raised his head and saw Qu Ying coming in, and smiled slightly:
"You came."

Qu Ying bowed and said calmly:

"Prime Minister Jiang, I have completed the new formation blueprint."

She handed the blueprint to Jiang Ziya with a clear and firm voice.

Jiang Ziya took the blueprint and unfolded it to take a closer look. His brows furrowed more and more tightly. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Qu Ying:

"This Wind Wave Locking Heaven Formation is probably far more powerful than the Four Symbols Trapped Dragon Formation!"

His tone was full of admiration, but also a bit solemn.

Qu Ying nodded slightly:

"This formation is based on the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, and incorporates the Wind and Wave pattern. It is extremely powerful, but setting up this formation requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as sufficient time."

Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment:
"Time is running out. Chaoge may launch an attack at any time. We must set up this formation as soon as possible, and also make other preparations."

His tone was firm, without any hesitation.

Qu Ying nodded in agreement. She took out an exquisite wooden box from her arms, which contained several sparkling spirit stones.

"This is the spiritual stone I have collected over the years. It can be used to enhance the power of the formation."

She handed the wooden box to Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya took the wooden box and nodded solemnly:
"With your help, Xiqi will win!"

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. We are all doing this for the people of the world!"

After the two discussed, they immediately set about setting up the Wind Wave Locking Sky Formation and formulating a new combat strategy.

The whole of Xiqi also entered a tense state of preparation for war.

As the sun sets, a solemn atmosphere permeates inside and outside Xiqi City, as if foreshadowing the coming bloody storm.

Qu Ying watched all this silently, her eyes firm and deep.

Soon, Jiang Ziya called his personal guards:
"Send the order and call all the generals to arrange the battle formation. It must be completed within three days!"

With Qu Ying's special design, this formation is movable, so it can be deployed in advance, and the guards took the order and left.

Then, Jiang Ziya took a deep breath and swept his eyes like a torch over the soldiers present. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow out and reflected on his resolute face.

Yang Jian and others arrived soon, and he immediately gave the order:
"Yang Jian, you lead a group of people to guard the center of the formation. Make sure it is safe."

Yang Jian nodded slightly.

"Nezha, you are responsible for supervising the craftsmen in the camp to replenish the array plates and create spare materials. Any action that delays the arrangement of the array will be dealt with according to military law!"

Knowing the importance of this matter, although Nezha still had a playful look on his face, his eyes were full of seriousness. He clasped his fists and replied:
"The last general takes command!"

He then turned around and walked towards the craftsmen's camp, so fast that it seemed like a gust of wind passing by.

After this……

"The rest of the soldiers, listen to my orders!"

Jiang Ziya continued to issue orders, and his voice echoed in the tent.

"Immediately follow the drawings provided by Miss Qu and arrange the formation step by step!"

"Remember, every step must be done precisely, without any mistakes!"

"The last general takes command!"

The generals moved in unison and quickly.

For a moment, the orderly and powerful footsteps of soldiers and the sounds of various tools colliding could be heard outside the tent, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

When the arrangement began, Qu Ying also supervised personally, observing the entire process of arranging the formation and giving pointers from time to time.

In this way, about two days later, most of the formation's arrangements had been completed, and one-third of the formation's eye had been embedded, and the progress was very rapid.

Seeing the formation that was about to be completed, everyone was delighted and turned their heads to look in the direction of Chaoge...
