"Thunder Rolling Formation of the Eighteen Underworld Soldiers—"
The sound waves dispersed the curtain of rain, infiltrating the minds of everyone present.
Xuanjia Army.
As Dasheng’s most elite troops.
Adapting formations in the midst of battle was their most basic quality, for there were only fifty thousand Xuanjia soldiers in all of Dasheng, a reserve that took fifty years to amass since the twentieth year of Longqing; each soldier was trained from youth, each general was personally instructed.
Upon hearing the Main General’s command.
The message cascaded from the Thousand Captain to the Captain, then to the Hundred Captain, and finally to the Team Armor... Your journey continues at freewebnovel
Moreover, with the term "Mainstay," even under the torrential downpour of the night, there was not the slightest disarray, as they completed their formations at breakneck speed, orderly and with strict discipline.
This alone was enough to overshadow more than seventy percent of the other forces in the world.
Thunder Rolling Formation of the Eighteen Underworld Soldiers!
The Eighteen Underworld Soldiers refers to the vast mountains that span the land and sky, and the thunder naturally signifies the divine thunder of the Heavenly Dome, coupled with a torrential night rain providing the best conditions for deploying this formation.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
"Kill—"
Thunder rumbled continuously as the sky rain poured endlessly.
With a flash of lightning, divine soldiers descended to the mortal world.
The aura alone was enough to scare the Nanxu Army considerably.
"What formation is this?!"
Fan Jiuxiao forcefully steadied his mind, "Don’t panic! No matter what formation they use, it’s useless, after all, they only have three thousand men. Quickly form up, everyone; deploy the Formation of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"
"Hurry, hurry!"
"..."
In the chaos.
The Nanxu Army managed to form a practical formation at a speed that was neither fast nor too slow.
"Crack!"
And in that moment.
Lightning streaked across the Heavenly Dome.
The Xuanjia Army charged into battle.
[How Can One Say They Have No Clothes]: How can one say they have no clothes, with comrades sharing the same uniform, boosting the power of the formation by thirty percent.
Under a common battle formation, this might not be evident.
But now...
It was the Heavenly Book Formation!
Just one round of assault scattered the rearguard troops of the Nanxu Army.
Screams, the clash of metal, the sound of rain, the thunder, the pounding of horse hooves, the shattering of armor...
All of it, ultimately, turned into chaos.
"Whooosh—"
The waterfall-like torrential rain continued to pour down on the land, barely pausing, and water from the heavenly river would cover faces, obstructing vision, and it was also a pitch-black night, so the Nanxu Army could hardly see the enemy’s movements clearly, only catching glimpses of the unstoppable heavenly cavalry whenever lightning flashed.
They held the high ground as though descending from the heavens.
They were unstoppable, like tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers!
"How many are there, exactly?!"
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or a hundred thousand!"
"..."
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
"Don’t panic!"
Fan Jiuxiao, with a swing of his sword, killed a subordinate who disrupted the formation: "Maintain the formation and break through. Even if they really have thirty thousand men, we can still get out!"
That’s right.
Even if Sheng Country magically produced thirty thousand men.
Their ten-thousand-strong force, as long as they could maintain the breakthrough formation, could still escape with at least half their number, and not face annihilation.
"If you want to live—"
"Follow the commands!"
"All Thousand Captains and Captains, steady your men!"

"Don’t be afraid, they’re just putting on a facade using this rain. You are also the elite of Da Xu, what is there to fear!"
As generals.
It was their duty to stabilize morale in critical moments.
Upon hearing these words.
The Da Xu soldiers managed to regain a semblance of composure.
Although they were trapped in an ambush, they didn’t need to fight to death, only to break through; ten thousand people working together would have a better chance of survival.
And more importantly, Mr. Si was right—
They were also elites!
Since both sides were but mere mortals,
with Fan Jiuxiao’s all-out efforts, they finally got a temporary grip on the situation and chose to break through toward the southwest.
It was at this moment.
Above the dark curtain, lightning shone once again.
Blue thunder, like a spider web, spread and tore across the pitch-black Heavenly Dome, illuminating the vast wilderness of the battlefield, casting the shadow of thousands of horses and troops in the mud.
For a brief moment, this image remained frozen as if time had slowed, and everything under the heavens seemed to decelerate.
Above the sky, the network of thunder gradually spread, enveloping most of the Heavenly Dome before slowly fading away, leaving only one single streak that did not vanish but instead—
Struck down!
"Crack—"
A giant python of dazzling blue crashed down from the heavens with a thundering impact onto Silver Pine Cliff, the summit of the canyon exploded with a roar, countless boulders toppled down from the heights, shattering the frozen moment upon landing on the battlefield.
"Heavenly God aids us—"
Atop the mountain summit.
Where the thunder fell.
A figure in a White Robe standing tall, a Silver Spear pointed to the sky, his voice thunderous, his spirit fierce: "Nan Xu traitors, how dare you defy the heavens?!"
The Nanxu Army, which had just stabilized its formation, fell into panic once more.
They finally realized why they had been under constant repression.
The Xuanjia Army’s Formation synergized with the forces of heaven and earth!
Not because the Nanxu Soldiers were well-traveled and knowledgeable in formations, but from their firsthand experience!
Only those ensnared within the formation could truly comprehend the intricacies of the enemy’s tactics. Every move of the Xuanjia Army perfectly matched the torrential downpour, even the lightning above, leaving them utterly without the power to retaliate, with no choice but to attempt a breakout.
With the roar from the White Robe and the descending thunder, they came to a startling realization: this formation was not of the mortal world but of the heavens, an Immortal Formation!
"The Red Eyebrow Army!"
One Assistant General suddenly remembered: "Do you all recall? The Red Eyebrow Army Commander Liang Jinian had a Miracle Soldiers Heavenly Book gifted by an Immortal! That Heavenly Book ended up in the hands of a certain Chen!"
"Otherwise, how could he summon Divine Thunder!"
"..."
Immortal Formation!
