Berserk Battle Formation

Berserk Battle Formation . . . 

The demon ox formation blazed with a terrifying, resplendent fire as it swung a fiery sword, aiming squarely at the malevolent devil.

However, the devil simply seized the blazing sword with its bare palm, its corrosive powers gradually causing the weapon to rot away. A sickly greenish light emanating from the law of corrosion cloaked the demon ox battle formation. Each wisp of green light possessed an unmatched sharpness and deadly precision. Ye Qing, controlling the blazing sword, spun the ox avatar into a spiral, creating a fiery storm that clashed head-on with the virulent green light.

From within the formation, Qin Wentian observed the battle unfold. He couldn't help but voice his concerns, "Ye Qing isn't well-suited to controlling this battle formation." He pointed out the glaring mismatch between Ye Qing's attributes and the formation's law energy. "While she's undoubtedly powerful individually, her attribute energy doesn't complement the demon ox formation. Furthermore, the strength released by the ox avatar is channeled through her, which means all the power pooled from the formation's experts ultimately flows through her."

The law energy of the formation was characterized by its violence, brutality, and sheer tyranny, whereas Ye Qing excelled in stealthy, swift attacks. Although she was formidable and possessed immense combat experience, it was evident that she was being outmatched as the avatars of the two formations continued to clash.

Qin Wentian's audacious suggestion prompted an array of reactions among his comrades. Some were taken aback, while others wondered about his intentions, especially given the circumstances, where such words could erode team morale.

"Captain, what are you thinking?" someone asked, expressing concern.

"Can I attempt to control this formation?" Qin Wentian boldly proposed, catching everyone by surprise, including Ye Qing. In her current state, it was evident that she was being outmatched by the opposing formation's evil devil, which was highly proficient in the law of corrosion. The person controlling the enemy's avatar also happened to be a master of the same laws, creating a seamless synergy with the avatar that suppressed Ye Qing with ease.

"Tianwen, although you're a formidable combatant, Captain Ye is the strongest among us. Even if we were to consider changing the controller, Captain Xiao would be the next in line, not you. Stop this nonsense," someone reprimanded Qin Wentian, deeming his suggestion far-fetched.

"We could give it a try your way," Ye Qing unexpectedly agreed. Qin Wentian's audacious idea had left everyone in disbelief, but now Captain Ye was willing to experiment with it? Allowing a second-level immortal-foundation cultivator to control the battle formation was unconventional, to say the least.

"This formation harnesses the collective strength of everyone to create a demon ox avatar. It possesses a vast reservoir of demonic energy. Since Tianwen excels in pure strength, his attribute aligns with the formation's propensity for violent and ferocious attacks. It's worth trying," Xiao Yehan chimed in, throwing his support behind Qin Wentian's idea. With both captains on board, a decision was reached.

A resounding "BANG!" echoed through the air as a powerful collision shook them all to their core. The formation bore heavy cracks from the impact. With a furious roar, Ye Qing took control of the demon ox, directing it to charge headlong at their opponent, using its horns to intercept the relentless attacks.

"Tianwen, switch now!" Ye Qing's voice rang out, and Qin Wentian's figure flickered forward as Ye Qing stepped back. In a brilliant flash of light, they exchanged positions. Qin Wentian now occupied the central core and gained the authority to control the ox avatar. An incredible sensation coursed through him, as if he had become the very soul of the battle formation, able to command and unleash the demon ox's power at will.

Immortals possessed exceptional comprehension abilities and adaptability, and Qin Wentian swiftly acclimated himself to the battle formation's control.

A sharp "Chi" pierced the air as a spear, imbued with the corrosive attribute, materialized from the green light and thrust toward the demon ox, effortlessly penetrating its defensive immortal light.

"Be careful," Xiao Yehan cautioned as he closely observed Qin Wentian's actions.

"BOOM!" Qin Wentian unleashed his full might. In an instant, he felt in perfect harmony with the ox avatar, their strengths interwoven.

The demon ox avatar roared in fury as a black-gold ancient halberd took form, brimming with attributes of violence, berserk power, and destruction. It collided with the green spear, creating a tempestuous vortex of destructive energy that engulfed both weapons.

"Beautiful!" Xiao Yehan exclaimed, sensing that Qin Wentian possessed a profound understanding of the destruction attribute. Moreover, his destruction law energy carried a palpable sense of suppression, along with a ferocious and tyrannical demonic quality. These qualities aligned perfectly with the law energy generated by the demon ox formation. It was evident that Qin Wentian was a more suitable controller than Ye Qing.

The experts within the devil avatar formation sneered coldly. Countless green serpents, born of corrosion law energy, materialized in the air, exuding malevolence as they shot toward the demon ox.

Qin Wentian remained composed. His energy surged forth, enveloping the entire demon ox formation in radiant runes, rendering it temporarily invulnerable. The demon ox bellowed in anger, its thunderous roars shaking the heavens and earth. A horde of destruction dragons materialized, clashing with the corrosive snakes and consuming them entirely before charging toward the devil avatar.

Amidst these two formations, numerous other battle formations waged war in the vicinity, each battle conducted with disciplined precision. This was the remarkable aspect of immortal armies; they maintained a degree of order even in the midst of intense combat.

"ROAR!" The demon ox let out another deafening bellow. At this moment, herds of golden-glowing oxen manifested, charging frenziedly and ramming the devil avatar with their horns. The impact reverberated through the entire space, and Qin Wentian activated God's Hand, causing the mighty demon ox to slam its hooves into the devil avatar. The shockwaves injured many of the experts within, leaving them battered and bruised.

"What's happening? They've become incredibly powerful just by changing the controller!" Their expressions turned grim. They had noticed that the current controller was the same person who had won the last battle in the nine-person challenge battle – they recognized Qin Wentian by the mask he wore.

Qin Wentian wasted no time and launched another attack. Demonic dragons tore through the heavens, their deadly strikes annihilating everything in their path. The demon ox's hooves pounded relentlessly, seeking to obliterate all opposition. It now resembled a minotaur, standing proudly in the sky like the king of all oxen.

"RUMBLE~" A deafening roar reverberated as the devil formation began to crumble. The demon ox once again unleashed its hooves, swiftly taking the lives of over ten people in an instant. Stripped of the formation's protection, they fell like flies before the ox.

"Run!" The experts within the formation scrambled in all directions. The demon ox relentlessly pursued, launching barrages of attacks that claimed the lives of these fleeing individuals. The members of Ye Qing's battle team watched in disbelief as Qin Wentian seemed to surpass the earlier power they had when Ye Qing was the controller by several magnitudes.

Qin Wentian glanced at other battles across the battlefield. Those whose formations had been shattered sought out similarly vulnerable opponents, resulting in ongoing clashes and a steady stream of casualties.

Despite being immortals, the battlefield knew no mercy. Even these individuals, who had once been the hegemons of their own particle worlds, now resembled garden weeds, perishing by the dozens. It was a stark reality: either you killed your opponent, or your opponent killed you.

"Tianwen, if you were at the peak level of the immortal foundation, you'd be invincible on the battlefield, akin to a god of slaughter. Gathering battle merits would be child's play," Xiao Yehan chuckled. This was their first major victory, and they had utterly dominated their opponents, eliminating over half of the formation's experts. They all had a share in these merits.

"Tianwen, let's keep focusing on eliminating enemies," someone suggested. Qin Wentian nodded, and the minotaur demon ox radiated an even more intense light as it unleashed increasingly devastating power. Now clad in fiendgod armor, its stomps sent shockwaves through the earth, trampling numerous Eastern Sage Immortal Sect members to their deaths.

The blinding light was almost unbearable. The other Eastern Sage Army battle formations couldn't help but recognize the formidable threat posed by Qin Wentian's battle team.

Qin Wentian controlled the demon ox avatar as it charged to the ground, unleashing torrents of powerful attacks. Demonic qi enveloped everything as the forces of destruction consumed all in their path. Individuals perished instantly, and formations crumbled after a few collisions. In a short span, he had destroyed four formidable hundred-man battle teams and exterminated over a hundred immortals.

With such a record of battle achievements, everyone in Qin Wentian's battle team was exhilarated. Only now did they recall Qin Wentian's origins. This young man must be a core disciple of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, here to temper himself. Otherwise, how could he be so remarkably strong? Jun Mengchen was likely in the same league, able to insta-kill his opponent. However, Tianwen was even more terrifying, allowing his enemy to attack him freely before effortlessly dispatching them. His control of the battle formation had now reached godly levels.

However, their spectacular performance didn't go unnoticed by the Eastern Sage Army's general. Commands were issued, and two battle teams moved in on Qin Wentian, while a third approached from behind. It was clear the Eastern Sage Army intended to surround and besiege them.

"This isn't good; we're becoming the bullseye in a hail of arrows," Xiao Yehan muttered. Although Qin Wentian was immensely powerful and had elevated the avatar's strength to a new level, he couldn't withstand the combined attacks of three battle formations.

However, the actions of the Eastern Sage Army didn't escape the notice of the Thousand Transformations Army. The general swiftly dispatched reinforcements, with Qin Wentian's battle team at the center. Suddenly, the location where Qin Wentian stood became the focal point of the entire tempest.

The radiance surrounding the demon ox intensified to its limits, enveloping it in a barrier-like defense. Now, the demon ox resembled Qin Wentian himself and possessed an impenetrable defense.

"Attack!" Another enemy battle formation surged forward, wielding a formidable sword formation. The enormous sword materialized, slashing with an indomitable force against the radiant barrier. Despite its overwhelming power, the sword's speed was deceptively slow, gradually sinking inch by inch into the luminous defense. The demon ox roared in fury and retaliated, unleashing a torrent of violent energy that sent the sword hurtling away.

In that instant, the air filled with the resonating hum of ten thousand swords. Countless blades materialized, radiating an imposing sword aura as they descended from the heavens. The combined might of these swords merged with the colossal blade from earlier, culminating in a devastating strike of pulverizing force!
