Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1092

The experts within the demon ox formation roared. Those battle team formations who were rushing it discovered at this instant that the demon ox avatar expanded over ten times in size and became something akin to a god ox clad in resplendent runic armor that boasted of an indestructible defense.

An evil devil avatar rushed over tyrannically from the side but it was blocked by that layer of runic light. The impact caused the experts within the devil formation to be jolted violently.

"Go help them!" The experts from the Thousand Transformations Army quickly rushed over when they saw many battle teams aiming for the formation controlled by Qin Wentian. At this moment, the demon ox avatar unleashed a palm filled with demonic wildness and incomparable tyranny, instantly shattering a hundred man-strong enemy team formation. The experts within the formation all coughed out blood as their faces turned pale from the injuries suffered.

However at the exact moment Qin Wentian attacked, because the avatar's size was too large, he also suffered the counter attacks by others. The experts within his own formation were also jolted badly as their qi and blood flowed chaotically from the impact. Also, when Qin Wentian became the controller, the consumption rate of energy spiralled upwards to an incredible extent. For those with lower cultivation bases, they already felt as though they wouldn't be able to sustain the output rate of their immortal energy.

The allied battle teams all gradually closed the distance and established themselves with Qin Wentian at the center. Violent battles erupted and chaos ensued, leading to an insane amount of casualties. Numerous immortals died, the sight of it causing the hearts of people to tremble.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Qin Wentian stepped out. The demon ox continued blasting out attacks, injuring countless experts in the enemy team formations. The casualties the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect suffered grew close to 1,000 in number. This was simply terrifying. Qin Wentian was fighting ten to one and this scene was still continuing.

Some in the demon ox formation let out roars of excitement. They wanted to continue fighting, they had never been so impressive before. This time, the battle merit was achieved by their battle team. Everyone would receive a share of low-grade battle merit.

However, there were some who were already extremely exhausted.

Because the strength unleashed by the demon ox avatar was too strong when Qin Wentian is in control, leading to greater energy consumption. In the surroundings with Qin Wentian at the center, the other team formations of the Thousand Transformations Army rode on his momentum and enjoyed a great advantage, killing plenty of their enemies. However in other locations, they were actually losing. There were many battle teams from the Eastern Sage Army who were established from the numerous years of foundations - the Flame Army under the command of the late Deepflame Immortal King and Dream Demon Army was also among them. The newly recruited battle teams of the Thousand Transformations Army had no way to compare to them.

From the air, one could easily tell that the overall situation was not optimistic for the Thousand Transformations Army. Qin Wentian and those around him had killed their way into the heart of their enemies and were in an extremely dangerous position. Right now there were even more enemies advancing forwards wanting to trap them to their death. It seems that the power of a battle team, if strong enough, also had the capabilities to affect the entire battlefield.

The eyes of the military governor flashed as he stared at Ye Qing's battle team. "Ye Qing's team, retreat."

He already noticed that several people in the battle team have exhausted their immortal energy. If the team continued fighting, the formation would collapse and many people within would die.

Qin Wentian decisively retreated, killing his way out. Although he wasn't at the vantage point to observe the happenings on the battlefield, he also understood the situation was disadvantageous to them.

"For stray members of the Thousand Transformations Army, form into a formation and retreat orderly. Do not panic." The military governor commanded loudly. On the battlefield, the Thousand Transformations Army begin an orderly retreat showing no signs of panic. Although they were defeated in some locations, those with their formations broken were still calm enough to be level-headed.

The generals of the Eastern Sage Army didn't say anything, their troops all knew what to do and were unleashing powerful attacks, wanting to collapse more formations of their enemies. The momentum of the battle gradually turned to their favor. Their opponent was already retreating, they just had to calmly pursue after and not get overeager.

In fact, there were some who were so anxious to gain merits that they overstepped their grounds and pursued their targets into the heart of their enemies. And at this moment, a bright light flashed from two of remaining grand thousand man-strong formations, easily vaporizing the Eastern Sage hundred man-strong battle teams who dared to rush straight at them.

"DON'T BE ANXIOUS. BE WARY OF TRAPS!" The military governor for the Eastern Sage Army roared. But because of the mistake earlier, the Thousand Transformations Army seized the initiative and halted their retreat, they were prepared to fight the Eastern Sage Army to the death and killed another great amount of experts.

"Halt the pursuit." The general's voice thundered out, causing the Eastern Sage Army to halt. The two armies gradually split apart, gathered at two separate locations. The Thousand Transformations Army took this chance to retreat again but the Eastern Sage Army no longer pursued them. Their mistake earlier cost them dearly. They didn't want a situation where they can kill a thousand enemies but have to pay with eight hundred deaths of their own experts.

"Retreat!" The military governor from the Thousand Transformations Army waved his hand. Clouds of dust kicked up in the air and just like that, the battle between two great one hundred-thousand strong armies ended.

The Dream Demon King's gigantic figure still appeared as though it was in a slumber. However his voice rang out in the minds of everyone, "Clear the battlefield and retreat!"

The hearts of the Eastern Sage Army trembled. The Dream Demon King's tone didn't seemed to be too happy.

This time around, his mobilization of the hundred thousand strong army was supposed to deal a crippling defeat to the Thousand Transformations Army. Even if he couldn't crush them in a single blow, he had to ensure that they paid a heavy price in casualties and were forced out of Yuan City so that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect could begin their next step of overtaking the Thunder Prefecture.

However when the armies clashed, they didn't possess as great an advantage as they thought they would. Although they gained a minor victory, they didn't expect they would suffer more casualties when they started to pursue. And if they fought to the death with the Thousand Transformations Army there and then, they would surely suffer tremendous losses and would no longer be in position to overtake the Thunder Prefecture.

One could only say that in the perspective of these two armies, this battle was considered a failure.

The Thousand Transformations Army only dispersed after they retreated faraway. Many people heaved a sigh of relief as they felt fatigue coursing through their bodies. Many people have completely exhausted their immortal energy from the battle earlier.

However, everyone was depressed. The casualties from this battle were too much. They were the defeated party and it is clear that the overall strength of their enemy surpassed them.

'Tianwen, well done. If it wasn't for you, we would have all been in danger." Xiao Yehan stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. This battle between two armies that were one hundred-thousand strong was exceedingly dangerous. If it wasn't for Qin Wentian replacing Ye Qing as the controller of the formation, they might all have died already.

It wasn't easy to have survived through such a great battle.

"That's right Tianwen. This time around, our survival is all thanks to you." The experts of the battle team glanced at Qin Wentian respectively. Previously they didn't really respect him, thinking he was new and had no battle experience. However Qin Wentian was actually so powerful and if it wasn't for him, they probably wouldn't have garnered so much battle merit.

During the nine-man challenge battle, he insta-killed his opponent and boosted morale greatly. After that, with the formation controlled by him alone, the impact was so great that it affected the entire battle. Although he had no way to control the battle situation directly, the ripple effect he caused wasn't a small one.

"It is us who dragged Tianwen down." Ye Qing suddenly spoke, her words causing the gazes of others to flicker. Xiao Yehan also nodded, "That's true. If we were people from the elite teams and Tianwen is our controller, the might unleashed would be even more terrifying. We might very well be invincible."

"Tianwen, given your performance and achievements today, I'm sure you are eligible to join the elite teams. Why don't I speak to General Lan about this?" Ye Qing spoke. The eyes of everyone flickered as they stared at their captain.

"Captain." Someone called out. Wasn't the captain a little too impartial? If an expert like Qin Wentian remained in their team, it was like a free pass to gain battle merit and they could even be effective on the battlefield. Who would have thought that the captain would suggest for Qin Wentian to join the elite teams?

"Let's discuss this after we return." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Everyone could already see the Yuan City's city gates in the distance.

After returning to the barracks and when the casualties were accounted for, the battle merits were given out. Everyone in Qin Wentian's battle team actually received a share of high-grade battle merit causing everyone to be extremely happy. A high-grade battle merit could be exchanged for many high quality cultivation resources or a peak-grade immortal weapon.

"Tianwen, these merits are all earned by virtue of your actions. You can use them to exchange for what you want. Everyone shouldn't have any objections." The battle teams were gathered together in a large drill ground. Ye Qing's words were met with agreement with some and stark silence from others.

Qin Wentian knew that there was clearly some unhappy individuals. In addition, he didn't lack resources. He shook his head and replied, "Captain, go and exchange for the rewards and split equally with the rest. I don't require anything."

"Seems like you must be a core disciple of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect." Xiao Yehan deduced.

At this moment, a group of people could be seen heading toward their direction. Ye Qing glanced over and transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. "They are experts from an elite battle team."

"What is your name." The expert in the lead stared at Qin Wentian who still had the mask on as he asked.

"Tianwen." Qin Wentian replied.

"Our team consists of elites, do you wish to join us? We can make a request to General Lan." That person spoke.

"If my senior brother goes to the elite battle team, would control of the battle team be handed to him?" Jun Mengchen asked.

"No. Although his performance earlier was outstanding earlier, everything has to be done step-by-step. The experts of our elite battle team are all at the later three levels of immortal-foundation, we are already making an exception for him to join. It's impossible to hand the authority to control the formation to him." That person shook his head and replied.

Jun Mengchen's lips twitched, somewhat dissatisfied with the answer.

Qin Wentian then smiled. "There's no need. I'm good remaining in this battle team."

"Do you truly not want to consider?" That person asked.

"It's fine." Qin Wentian shook his head. The other party didn't say much and brought his people away.

"You shouldn't have rejected their offer." Ye Qing smiled bitterly. An elite battle team contains extraordinary elites.

"Don't worry about it." Qin Wentian smiled as he continued, "I still have some friends currently rushing over. At that time we will establish a team of elites ourselves."
