nWith so many settlements reinforcing Dragon City on the Land of Inheritance, the real crisis when the aliens gathered and attacked the key settlements together was gradually resolved.

nCounterattacks against the aliens were even initiated under the command of the strategic division headed by the Four Military Saints.

nHowever, the key to the advancement test was still the headquarters of Dragon City.

nThere were sea aliens that could control a million tons of seawater like mermaids, Jade-Faced Yaksha that were as quick as lightning and chewed human flesh, demons whose bloody aura could melt the creatures nearby, Eagle Men whose claws could rip space apart, and Fire Men that looked like balloons and could release gas to set anything ablaze…

nThere were altogether forty kinds of powerful aliens, and there were almost three thousand Transcendent and Legendary aliens!

nThey were the opponents that Dragon City’s main settlement was facing!

n“Roar!”

nAbove the city wall, the Transcendent Rank-7 Dragons of Providence, which were already a thousand meters long, roared at the aliens that were coming in all directions.

nOn the ground, a wall that was only ten meters tall and gray and black with a mottled surface had already been worn out by time and filled with damage caused by spears and axes. There was a bastion between a fixed distance with smoke rising to the top.

nThis short wall managed to block thousands of Transcendent aliens, even including those which were hundreds of meters tall.

nThe aliens that could fly couldn’t cross the wall either.

nThe Great Wall

nLevel: Transcendent Rank-7

nRarity: Legendary

nDescription: An ancient military defense in Chidragon. It has the feature of blocking all intruders.

nMooo!

nA giant, which was a thousand meters tall with red flames spreading out of its eyes and looked as intimidating as a god, clenched its fist that carried an ancient aura and smashed the wall down below.

nBoom!

nThe moment the enormous fist fell down, Transcendent Rank-5 energy burst out and reduced the Great Wall into ruins.

nThe giant was one of the Titans, a species that frequently appeared in myths and games.

nHowever, when the Titan lifted its fist, the ruins on the ground disappeared, and a complete wall showed up, making it impossible for it to cross the Great Wall or break into Dragon City.

nIt could only let out roars of fury.

nThe Great Wall had a length of ten thousand kilometers. Unless the ten thousand kilometers were destroyed together, the wall would always stand.

nThe Great Wall was built for the purpose of restraining the intruders in the north. Therefore, on the Land of Inheritance, it was given the Transcendent feature of stopping any intruders!

nTherefore, even though there were a lot of aliens, none had been able to break into Dragon City.

nOf course, faced with a thousand Transcendent aliens, it was impossible for the wall to stand forever, and Dragon City wasn’t really counting on this “heavy treasure” that couldn’t cause any damage.

nWhat it really counted on was the Quasi Mythological array behind the wall made of a hundred thousand Extraordinary, Transcendent, and Legendary soldiers that covered the entire city.

nFeng Hou’s Eight Trigram Array

nRarity: Quasi Mythological

nDescription: Zhuge Liang has inferred with many heroes of Dragon City with his legendary Eight Formation Maze and successfully restored the Eight Trigram Array that Feng Hou, an ancient Quasi Mythological player, created.

nThe Eight Formation Maze was undoubtedly one of the most well-known military formations in Chidragon.

nIn Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was able to block a hundred thousand enemies by arranging rocks into an Eight Formation Maze. He also stopped Sima Yi from marching south by defending a pass with the Eight Formation Maze.

nAs a matter of fact, the history of the Eight Formation Maze had a longer history.

nDou Xiang, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, destroyed fifty thousand Huns with only ten thousand men and the Eight Formation Maze. Even earlier, Feng Hou, who was allegedly Fu Xi’s offspring and one of the three ministers under the Yellow Emperor’s command, helped crush Chiyou’s army with the Eight Formation Maze, thus laying a foundation on the nation.

nTherefore, historically or fictionally speaking, the Eight Formation Maze couldn’t be ordinary on the Land of Inheritance.

nThe Quasi Mythological Eight Formation Maze was subdivided into eight components, namely Heaven, Earth, Wind, Cloud, Dragon, Tiger, Bird, and Snake.

nAt the Heaven Position, there was a middle-aged general who wore golden armor. His red cape fluttered in the wind, and a military book named Lord Wei’s Strategies was floating next to him.

nHe was Li Jing, Lord Wei in the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the Heaven Position.

nHe was not the Li Jing who was Nezha’s father in the myth, but one of the most famous generals and the greatest contributors in the Tang Dynasty!

nNot just Li Jing, there were also fifty Transcendent heroes of Tang who rode Transcendent dragons in the sky, including Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Qinqiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin… Together, they commanded the Black Armored Army of the Tang Dynasty, one of the top ten Legendary units in ancient times.

nBoom, boom, boom…

nWhen the formation of more than ten thousand people took shape, it caused all sorts of changes.

nSome areas were covered in a thunderstorm with balls of lightning floating in midair, some areas were so cold that the air that was exhaled was frozen into ice, and some areas were so hot that the air was burning…

nHeaven Position’s feature: The physical attributes within the area of the Heaven Position could be freely changed.

nPew! Pew! Pew!

nThe aliens that were charging at the battle formation were slowed down and weakened by the environment.

nThen, they were covered and destroyed by the Black Armored Army’s power!

n“Roar!”

nSome of the tough aliens managed to reach the battle formation despite the unfavorable environment. They jumped and tried to break the Great Wall with their bodies and disrupt the arrangement of the Tang generals.

nHowever, when they just leaped, they suddenly fell and crashed on the ground. They even fell on their knees and didn’t rise at all.

nIt was a physical change where the gravity was enhanced a hundred times!

nBoom!

nFollowing that, a huge abyss appeared on the ground and swallowed a few Transcendent creatures that were on their knees, burying them alive.

nWearing bloody armor and having a cold face, Bai Qi the Human Butcher watched over the Earth Position!

nBehind him, there were heroes before and after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, including Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Jian, Sima Cuo, Zhang Han… Their mounts were fifty dragons in the attribute of Earth.

nFeature of the Earth Position: The terrain could be freely changed. A high mountain might be flattened, and a short distance might be lengthened.

nThere was a rumbling sound.

nThe Transcendent creatures were so sturdy that the aliens struggled to resist even though they were buried in the soil. The enormous force pierced the rock and caused consecutive cracks on the surface.

nClang!

nExpressionlessly, Bai Qi stabbed his bloody longsword into the ground and his substantial killing intent swept out, stopping the earth from shaking. The color of the soil gradually turned red.

nThe Wind Position was the third component commanded by Wei Qing.

nBehind him were Zhou Yafu, Ban Gu, Cao Shen, and the generals from the Eastern Han Dynasty such as Feng Yi and Dou Xian. They were all riding dragons of the wind class!

nThe heroes of the Han Dynasty didn’t stay behind the city wall. Instead, they turned into invisible winds and charged at the aliens outside of the city wall.

nPew! Pew! Pew!

nIn the blink of an eye, the severed limbs of the aliens were flying in the sky, changing the sky’s color.

nTranscendent ability of the Wind Position: Invisible Wind. It could transform the entire battle formation into an invisible wind to avoid damage and scatter the aliens. The wind could also be transformed back into humans to slay the aliens!

nRight after the Wind Position was the Cloud Position commanded by Zhao Yun.

nZhao Yun’s rating had turned from Perfect to Legendary.

nAlso, after spending a lot of EXP in learning, he was as good at commanding as the real top generals in history were.

nBehind Zhao Yun were fifty Transcendent heroes of Dragon City from Water Margin, including Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, etc. They each rode a Transcendent dragon.

nThe power of the battle formation caused a heavy fog around the soldiers, enshrouding human beings and aliens alike.

nThen, noises of battles came from the clouds. A lot of aliens attempted to slay human beings, only to find that they were surrounded by their own kind, yet their “allies” were attacking them.

nThe feature of the Cloud Position was Formless Cloud. It could transform the individuals, weapons, and items in the formation into anything, including the aliens!

nThe Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Cloud Positions could alter the climate, terrain, and other elements on the battlefield and even transform the soldiers into such elements.

nTherefore, the aliens were caught in a passive position.

nThe other four positions were the Dragon, Tiger, Bird, and Snake formations, which were based on Dragon City’s original Battle Formations of Four Symbols.

nThe commander of the Dragon Position was Guan Yu.

nBehind him were fifty heroes from the Three Kingdoms that rode wind dragons.

nHuang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai… The heroes of Wei, Shu, and Wu were gathered. They rode fifty Transcendent dragons.

nThere were also ten thousand Azure Dragon Guards who used sabers as their weapons.

nEverybody stood absolutely still and didn’t wave their weapons together with Guan Yu until the aliens crossed the city wall.

nBoom!

nA gap was ripped apart between the sky and the earth. The enormous saber aura transformed into a blue dragon that roared and lunged out, destroying the plants and hills in a length of ten kilometers. A hundred Transcendent aliens were obliterated!

nIn the west, a general in his thirties wore tiger-head armor and had an expression as steady as water.

n“Battle of Jingxing… Battle of Chencang…”

nFacing the Transcendent aliens that were charging at him, the general unhurriedly recited the battles he had fought!

nThe troops behind him changed every time he recited a new battle.

nThe number of his soldiers was doubled.

nHalf of the soldiers were doubled and couldn’t be attacked by the enemy.

nAll the soldiers could carry out their greatest strength.

nThey ambushed the enemy from ten sides…

nIn history, there was only one hero who had won so many battles in the most unbelievable way.

nHe was Han Xin, commander of the Tiger Camp. His talent was to transform all the stories that were related to him into Transcendent and apply them to himself or his soldiers.

nUnder his command were the heroes of the Warring States, including Lian Po, Li Xin, Zhao She, Tian Dan, etc. Everybody rode a Transcendent metal dragon. When the formation was activated, it constructed a six-winged white tiger whose breath already knocked over a bunch of Transcendent aliens.

nAt the same time, a red Vermilion Bird rose to the sky from the south towards the flying aliens.

nAt the golden mouth of the Vermilion Bird was a young general who wore red armor and looked only in his twenties.

nHe was only in his twenties, yet he was commanding a formation like Guan Yu, Li Jing, and Bai Qi. The only young man who had ever accomplished that in the history of Chidragon was Huo Qubing.

nUnlike Xiang Yu who was known for his magnificent physical strength, Huo Qubing didn’t have the most remarkable combat skills.

nHowever, with his talent ability, he could be enhanced by the troops that were under his command. Therefore, he was as strong as the Overlord in a duel!

n“&#%#@!”

nA few Golden-winged Yaksha Kings unleashed Transcendent powers and constructed golden walls, attempting to stop the Vermilion Bird’s flight.

nPew! Pew! Pew!

nHowever, the walls were penetrated like paper when they hit the golden armor. Even the Yaksha Kings were swallowed by the flames before they could let out a scream.

nThe enormous Vermilion Bird, like the sharpest longsword, stabbed through the dense flying aliens and left a stretching ocean of flames.

nThe remains of a lot of dead, blackened aliens fell from the sky like rain!

nThe commander of the last position, the Black Tortoise, was a middle-aged general who wore black armor and looked determined with glittering eyes.

nHe was Qi Jiguang.

nUnder his command were fifty heroes from the Ming Dynasty, including Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, Li Dingguo, Lu Shengxiang…

n“Establish the Yuanyang Formations!”

nUnlike the other positions that had the same units, Qi Jiguang’s subordinates were riding red dragons, jade dragons, bronze dragons, emerald dragons, crystal dragons, and other types. The ten thousand soldiers under his command were holding shields and different weapons too.

nThe Yuanyang Formation allowed its components to spatially swap with each other. Every Yuanyang Formation constituted a scale on the enormous tortoise-snake.

nInside the giant formation were small formations. The tortoise form and the snake form were transforming all the time.

nWhen the eight positions were combined, they formed the Eight Formation Maze. They also carried the Transcendent power to change the environment as well as themselves. In addition, they had the four forms of the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger!

nCoupled with four hundred Transcendent heroes, four hundred Transcendent dragons, and more than eighty thousand Extraordinary soldiers, they were able to resist the aliens even though they were only half as large in number.

nAfter all, while the aliens were large in number, they were highly destructive with their Transcendent power, and they were mostly huge. So, they could not attack at the same time.

nIn fact, back in the City of Humans, Ji Ye had already seen the design of the Eight Formation Maze. He already considered whether or not he could buy it.

nHowever, in the end, he didn’t spend his Civilization Coins on it.

nIt was because before he entered the City of Humans, Dragon City had already summoned a Legendary hero just like Guan Yu and Cao Cao.

nAt the center of Dragon City, above the core of the Dragons of Providence, there was a man who wore a black long robe and waved a white fan. He was tall and handsome, and his eyes were as profound as a starry sky.

nZhuge Liang

nLevel: Transcendent Rank-7

nRarity: Legendary

nDescription: His courtesy name is Kongming and his title is Wolong. He was the epitome of loyalty and wisdom in ancient times!

nAs the most well-known Legendary hero in the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang already remembered a lot about the Eight Formation Maze.

nTo prepare for the war, Dragon City had summoned a lot of militarists and generals from ancient times. All of them had worked together and finally inferred the array before the advancement test began.

nA hundred thousand soldiers had been familiarized with the formation at the cost of abundant EXP. That was how it was performed on the battlefield.

nHalf of the eight Legendary heroes were famous for fighting against intruders in history. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fought in the north, Li Jing fought in the west, and Qi Jiguang fought in the south. Their troops made remarkable achievements in history too.

nIn this battle, they were all determined to destroy the aliens!

nHowever, the aliens were truly determined. Faced with Dragon City’s battle formations, they gave up the idea of taking advantage of each other.

nDifferent groups of aliens were cooperating with each other and combining their Transcendent power to penetrate the battle formations and wound the soldiers.

n“Seven stars, illuminate your fate…”

nSeeing that, Zhuge Liang, who stood on the top of the dragon head, waved his fan softly.

nA lot of golden spots of light rose from the altar down below and filled up the altar area. They came from more than a hundred thousand oil lamps. The spots of light gathered into seven enormous golden stars above Zhuge Liang and illuminated the wounded soldiers.

n“Kill! Kill! Kill…”

nThe wounded soldiers didn’t collapse or die even though they suffered lethal wounds and their blood had run dry.

nInstead, they aggressively fought the aliens again.

nSeven Stars Lamp

nLevel: Transcendent Rank-7

nRarity: Legendary, Rare

nDescription: A secret technique that can prolong someone’s life!

nOn the main battlefield of Dragon City, everybody corresponded with a lamp on the altar.

nThe soldiers wouldn’t die at all as long as the lamps kept burning.

nEven if the lamps might burn out when the oil was dry, someone would replace them immediately.

nApart from the eighty thousand soldiers who were fighting, Dragon City had arranged twenty thousand soldiers as backups.

nSame as the Eight Formation Maze, the Seven Stars Lamp was Zhuge Liang’s own secret technique. Using both of them, he strengthened the defense of Dragon City to the ultimate level.

n“Kill! Kill! Kill…”

nThe seven stars floated in the sky, and Feng Hou’s Eight Formation Maze was circulating. A hundred thousand human elites fought the swarming aliens.

nMore and more Transcendent aliens were defeated and executed. The enormous Dragon City seemed to have turned into a mill where lives were ground. Bodies of aliens and humans paved the ground. The blood of the dead aliens even gathered into lakes and rivers.

nIn the branch settlements further away, the battles became heated too. Hundreds of creatures were killed every moment.

nAt the same moment, an invisible and mysterious power was gathering and expanding under such circumstances.

n
