The Great Ruler

Chapter 878 - Miserable

Rampant Battle Wills violently surged as the occasional impact caused even space to undulate. This space was undoubtedly completely occupied by Battle Wills.

Mu Chen stood in the sky with five massive Spirits of Battle Will standing beneath him, preying on the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit beneath the ocean of Battle Will.

When the six Spirits of Battle Will faced each other, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit naturally had the absolute advantage in terms of size, since it was practically twice that of any of Mu Chen’s Spirits of Battle Will. But Mu Chen had the advantage in quantity, with five-to-one, the Battle Will undulations were extremely powerful.

At the very least, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit showed some fear at this moment and had weakened its attacks while both parties were tied in a deadlock.

This deadlock was something that Mu Chen welcomed at this moment. He had commanded those warriors amongst the Nine Nether Troop and Blood Hawk Troop that were injured to rest and reorganise, stabilising their bodies. That’s because the battle between them and the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit might break out at any time.

After the previous confrontation, he was clear about how troublesome the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit was. Even if he had controlled the Spirits of Battle Will of five troops, he still wasn’t confident that he could get rid of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

But regardless, they had to give it a try.

Just when Mu Chen’s heart flashed with such thoughts, the deadlock did not last. Despite not having any intellect, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit could exist because of this Battle Formation and had an unshakable mission that was to kill anyone that intruded into the formation.

Roar!

With a ferocious expression, the majestic Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit unleashed an astonishing roar and its body flickered with dazzling runes. Boundless Battle Will had formed into black halos that spread from its body.

At this moment, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit was like an actual Black Tortoise Divine Beast.

Boom!

The Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit took a step forward with its massive foot, which lifted torrential waves in the ocean of black Battle Will beneath it. A myriad feet of waves, along with mountain-crushing momentum, swept towards Mu Chen.

Roar!

The five Spirits of Battle Will unleashed enraged roars at the same time and the five different colours of Battle Will force flew out like blades that joined force and split the wave of black Battle Will apart.

The huge wave was instantly split apart and Mu Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold. With a will of his mind, the five Spirits of Battle Will charged forth into a semi-circle formation, which enveloped the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

Boom!

The Nine Nether Troop and Blood Hawk Troop’s Battle Will Spirit flapped their wings and their feathers were like the sharpest blades that stormed towards the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit. As for the Mountain Splitting Troop, Cliff Troop and Spiritual Swordsmen’s Battle Will Spirits, they charged at the front, waving a greatsword or axe as they headed towards the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

The five Battle Will Spirits had all ganged up on the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

Facing such ferocious attacks, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit was fearless and had flung its head as boundless Battle Will surged forth, forming a barrier that protected it.

Boom! Boom!

The attacks of the five Battle Will Spirits smashed against the shield, causing ripples on the shield but could not destroy it, it was a powerful defence.

Roar!

After blocking the attacks of the five Battle Will Spirits, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit suddenly opened its mouth. Rampant Battle Will rolled in its mouth. The Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit’s sharp teeth even tore space apart.

The Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit heavily flung its head. It was extremely swift, like dragon exiting its cave, as it bit the wing of the Blood Hawk Troop’s Battle Will Spirit and tore a huge portion of it off.

It was only a contact and Mu Chen’s Spirits of Battle Will had already suffered injuries. Along with the injury suffered by the Spirits of the Battle Will, the warriors of the Blood Hawk Troop spurted out blood from their mouths and their expression dimmed down, they had suffered from it as well.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen’s gaze flashed with a chill.

Boom!

The greatsword and axe suddenly descended from the sky and smashed against the defence of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit. Powerful Battle Will exploded and shattered its defences.

The Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will Spirit let out a cry and its sharp wings tore through space, passing through the defences like a bolt of lightning and slash the head of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, causing a long crack to appear on the Battle Will Spirit and Battle Will dissipating from that crack.

Roar!

The Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit unleashed an enraged roar and its serpent tail blinked into dark light, along with a hectic Battle Will that seemed like it wanted to tear space apart.

Whoosh!

A huge turtle figure charged forth, allowing the tail to strike on the shell of the turtle. Instantly, a terrifying impact wreaked havoc that sent the turtle back a few thousand feet.

The turtle silhouette was naturally the Cliff Troop’s Battle Will Spirit. The troop excelled in defence, so their Battle Will was also as robust as a mountain. Although they were lacking in offence, their defence surpassed the other Battle Will Spirits.

If it was another Spirit of Battle Will taking that blow from the Black Tortoise Battle Will, it would have probably heavily suffered like the Blood Hawk Troop’s Battle Will Spirit. But when the Cliff Troop took that blow, it was only pushed back.

After blocking the blow from the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, the four other Battle Will Spirits charged forth and unleashed erratic attacks, smashing apart the defence of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

But facing this situation, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit ferociously charged forth as well, causing space to ripple from the black Battle Will. With the advantage it had in terms of Battle Will, its every attack made the four other Spirits of Battle Will fall into a miserable situation.

Outside the battle formation, the other forces were dumbfounded as they watched the formation that Mu Chen was in. Clearly, their hearts were shaken by the bitter battle.

Although the attacks of the five Spirits of Battle Will were taken by the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, the attacks of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit had also caused injuries on its opponents. The five Battle Will Spirits were extremely coordinated under Mu Chen’s control, since their attacks and defences were extremely coordinated. It was because of this, that the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit suffered cracks on its body as the injuries on the five other Battle Will Spirits increased...

No one expected that the five Battle Will Spirits that had nothing out of the ordinary could display such powerful might under Mu Chen’s control.

“King Mu’s control is beyond words... The Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit is clearly much stronger than any of the troops’ Battle Will Spirits. If they faced each other individually, they would probably be destroyed in less than three rounds. But King Mu could actually make use of the unique properties of each Battle Will Spirit to launch attacks and defences, fighting on the same level as the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit. Truly worthy of our admiration.” The Mountain Splitting King and the rest looked at the bitter battle in the Black Tortoise Battle Formation and couldn’t help sighing.

Although they did not have any talent in the way of Battle Will, they were experts, after all, so their eyes were keen and naturally knew that it wouldn’t be easy for Mu Chen to command five weaker Battle Will Spirits to confront the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit.

“But the Battle Formation which Zhantai Liuli is in seems to be stabilised.” Nine Nether suddenly pointed out as her gaze became fixed onto a formation with astonishment on her face. That’s because, in the White Tiger Battle Formation, the attacks of the White Tiger Battle Formation was slowly being resisted by Zhantai Liuli’s Azure Troop, and slowly, Zhantai Liuli started to fight back as well.

“Zhantai Liuli is truly a genius.”

The countenances of the Mountain Splitting King and the rest were grave, since they realise that when Mu Chen was persistently confronting the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, Zhantai Liuli had actually started to launch counter attacks towards the White Tiger Battle Will Spirit. If she found an opportunity, she could destroy the White Tiger Battle Will Spirit. At that time, she would become the first to get through the Battle Formation.

There was nothing they could do about it as Zhantai Liuli was clearly prepared in this trip. From a certain extent, that 30,000 Azure Troop was even stronger than their five troops. After all, their Battle Will was one and not split up.

Therefore, Zhantai Liuli was probably the only one that could break through the Battle Formation before Mu Chen. As for Xiao Tian, he was already using the entire Sky Profound Division but in the end, he could only protect himself from the attacks of the Azure Dragon Battle Formation. He couldn’t counterattack, not to mention destroying the Battle Formation.

...

In the White Tiger Battle Formation

Zhantai Liuli looked at the violent White Tiger Battle Will Spirit before her, then squinted her eyes and slowly tightened her fist as she muttered, “About time.”

She gently raised her hand, before waving it down.

Suddenly, dazzling pillars of light soared into the horizon above the Azure Troop and the Battle Will torrentially rolled.

...

Boom!

In the Black Tortoise Battle Formation, a black force of Battle Will swept past and struck against the body of the massive turtle formed by the Cliff Troop. Instantly, the firm turtle shell cracked and hundreds of warriors in the Cliff Troop spurted blood from their mouths.

Boom!

The huge axe and greatsword flickered with a sharp lustre as they descended from the sky and slammed against the body of the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit as their violent Battle Wills caused the latter to be pushed back and the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit roared.

But the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit was also extremely ferocious. Even when it was pushed back, it had shot out a Battle Will energy from its mouth that sent the Battle Will Spirit of the Nine Nether Troop flying back and cracks had spread out on its body.

Mu Chen’s figure immediately jolted and his face was pale as well with beads of sweat falling from his face. Although there wasn’t any exhaustion in his own Spiritual Energy from commanding Battle Wills, it brought a great burden to his mind and Mu Chen could already feel an intense, sharp pain from his mind.

That was a sign that he was soon reaching his limits in controlling Battle Will.

“Can’t drag this on any longer.”

Mu Chen clenched his teeth. Right now, the first that could get out of this Battle Formation could obtain the inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor. Although he knew that Xiao Tian and the three Commanders couldn’t achieve that, Zhantai Liuli was a great threat.

If he continued to drag this battle out, then Zhantai Liuli might take a step before him. At that point in time, it would be pointless, even if he managed to destroy this formation.

So he couldn’t drag the battle out anymore.

But right now, the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit was like a great mountain before him. Although the five Spirits of Battle Will were extremely coordinated, they could not completely destroy that Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, since those Spirits of Battle Will were five completely different entities. Their attacks could harm the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit, but they weren’t sufficient to deal fatal injuries.

“Since that’s the case...”

Mu Chen’s pupils flashed as he clenched his teeth.

“Let’s give it a risk, then!”

As he spoke, Mu Chen no longer hesitated and suddenly waved his hand. His voice had resounded near the ears of every warrior of the five troops, causing their hearts to tremble.

“Heed my orders, Five Spirits Converge!”
