The imposing figure before them was none other than the leader of the Nine-Headed Lion Clan, Lion Nine Lives. Chen Feng understood that their confidence in this formation was unwavering, believing that the strength of Chen Kingdom could not break through it. However, they dared not unleash the full power of this formation, relying instead on its might.
But what kind of formation was this? The Priestly Clan would certainly not reveal it. Thus, he turned his gaze to Su Yaoyao, who immediately grasped his intent. It was rumored that the Priestly Clan had once obtained some legacies and treasures from the Ancient Witch Clan, enabling them to form a fragmented version of the Twelve Heavenly Array. Yet, he had never heard of anyone successfully deploying such a formation.
Now, with Wu Yun's overwhelming confidence, Chen Feng suspected that the formation before him might indeed be that very array! The Twelve Heavenly Array was renowned even in ancient times for its formidable power. Even if the Priestly Clan had only managed to create a flawed version, it should not be underestimated.
Chen Feng knew he had to break through this formation to bring all the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan under control and solidify his dominance over them. "You set the conditions; I accept!" he declared. "Yin Yang Four Symbols Formation! Attack!"
Chen Feng did not take this lightly. He commanded the Four Great Battle Departments to form a powerful array and unleash their might against the Twelve Heavenly Array. "Yin Yang Divine Light!"
Countless beams of Yin Yang Divine Light struck the Twelve Heavenly Array, causing it to tremble. Suddenly, twelve golden figures emerged from within the formation. These golden beings seemed to have been forged through some special method, radiating intense golden light that countered the Yin Yang Divine Light effortlessly!
Indeed, this was the Twelve Heavenly Array—these golden figures were incredibly powerful! Chen Feng's expression darkened as he realized that after witnessing their strength, he no longer held absolute confidence in breaking through this formation. After all, formations harnessed the combined power of heaven and earth; they were not something an individual could easily rival.
"Spring Rain! Xia Lei! Qiu Shuang! Dong Xue!" He commanded them to unleash their most potent attacks against the golden figures. Yet, even after defeating Jiao Long Wang with relative ease, their assaults seemed ineffective against these golden beings.
The reason was clear: each of these twelve golden figures possessed immense physical strength, each embodying Li Da Dao. This allowed them to withstand the powers of Yin Yang Four Symbols Technique without faltering.
Seeing this scene unfold before him, Chen Feng felt a surge of unwillingness. He did not want to be defeated at this final hurdle.
Thus, he ordered the Four Great Battle Departments to continue their assault! However, this turned into a war of attrition. This was not favorable for the Four Great Battle Departments. The Twelve Heavenly Array had stored energy for many years, while the Yin Yang Four Symbols Formation relied more on the soldiers of the Four Great Battle Departments.
The surrounding demon clans watched this scene unfold. But when they saw the formidable power of Chun Yu, Xia Lei, Qiu Shuang, and Dong Xue, they understood how Jiao Long Wang had met his demise. Then, upon witnessing the Twelve Heavenly Array withstand the attacks from the Yin Yang Four Symbols Formation, their expressions shifted once again.
Their strength was not lacking, and they naturally recognized that Chen Kingdom was at a disadvantage. Wu Yun even voiced it aloud. "Chen Guozhu, it seems your formation lacks strength; you cannot break my array. You are destined to lose! You might as well retreat from our southern region! This is not a place for you!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Feng felt a surge of unwillingness in his heart. Yet he knew that continuing to fight would only lead to greater depletion of his soldiers. There was no changing the tide of battle. His expression wavered as he contemplated whether to press on or retreat for now.
However, if he chose to withdraw, the momentum that Chen Kingdom had built up would diminish immediately. Regaining that momentum later would be difficult and could lead to turmoil in multiple aspects within Chen Kingdom. This was indeed a weakness of a rapidly rising nation!
Who said that Chen Kingdom could not break your formation? Although your array possesses considerable power, how could it withstand the onslaught of Chen Kingdom?
At that moment, a voice echoed from above. "Ancestor!" Hearing this voice, Chen Feng exclaimed in excitement. He saw Chen Moxuan descending from the sky.
After reaching the peak of the Great Ascension stage, Chen Moxuan had emerged from seclusion. He needed to find a place to undergo his Ascension Tribulation. It was clear that he could not face this tribulation in the capital of Chen Kingdom; otherwise, if things went awry, many lives would be lost.
Thus, he sought a more remote location. Upon learning that Chen Feng was attacking the southern region, he made his way here because the vast and sparsely populated southern region was an ideal place for undergoing tribulation.
To his surprise, just as he arrived, he encountered this scene. "I pay my respects to you, Ancestor! I apologize for letting you down!" Chen Moxuan glanced at the Twelve Heavens Array and then spoke:
"This formation is an ancient relic; it is normal that you cannot break it—there is no fault in that! There are no generals who win forever; sometimes losing is not a bad thing—it leads to growth!
Everyone stand down and retreat one kilometer; let me show you how to break this formation!"
"Yes, Ancestor." Upon hearing Chen Moxuan's command, the Four Great Battle Departments immediately fell back.
The demon clan members also began to retreat, but they were murmuring among themselves.
"Who is this person, so arrogant and self-assured that he thinks he can break the Twelve Heavenly Array all by himself?"
"Indeed, even the combined forces of the Chen Kingdom couldn't breach it. How could he possibly think he can do it alone? It's utterly preposterous!"
"He's the Ancestor of the Chen Kingdom, rumored to be immortal. Perhaps he really can break this formation by himself!"
Chen Moxuan paid no mind to their discussions. He simply released his own aura.
Those present felt his strength growing increasingly powerful. Eventually, some of the demon clan members were overwhelmed by this aura, rendered speechless and unable to move even slightly. This was still at a distance; they had not yet been targeted directly by his presence.
How could his aura be so formidable? Just how strong must he be? This question echoed in everyone's minds. Even Chen Feng and Tori Fa were shocked upon sensing Chen Moxuan's overwhelming presence.
"The Ancestor, our Lord, has grown even stronger!"
As Chen Moxuan's aura reached a certain intensity, the sky began to change. Dark clouds gathered above, with flashes of lightning weaving through them.
"I'll first weather this tribulation; if this formation still exists after I do, then I will certainly destroy it!"
With that, Chen Moxuan soared into the air. The thunder and lightning within the dark clouds intensified. The clouds enveloped the entire Southern Wilderness Mountains.
What is happening? Why has the sky changed? What is he trying to do? Many were puzzled by this transformation. However, some of the older demon clan members seemed to have realized something!
