Chapter 660
The Six Gates Formation was one of the common military formations used by the Great Yu's army . Its structure was similar to that of the Six Flags Formation used by immortals .
The Six Flags Formation used by immortals could be divided into illusion array, maze array, trap array, murder array, and many other different attributes; but, the Six Gates Formation was different . After being studied and modified by Great Yu's Military Court and Directorate of Celestials, this formation was full of endless transformations, deadly traps, and restrictive magic . As a matter of fact, it was a formation created purely for the purpose of killing people .
As soon as the formation had taken shape, the surrounding natural energy was immediately driven away; even the underground energy veins were forced by its power to divert their flow, avoiding the area thousands of miles around Dayan Immortal Pass . This place had now become a land without any natural energy . It was the most unfavorable battleground for immortals and cultivators, who had to rely on natural energy to produce their greatest power .
Human soldiers, on the other hand, were unaffected by the formation . Their strong fleshly bodies allowed them to use their powers perfectly . And because the powers of Oracles came from the Ghost Gods they worshiped or other natural beings, they could function normally only by borrowing the power of nature without consuming any natural energy .
In this Six Gates Formation, the overall strength of the human race would not be affected, but immortals and cultivators were weakened by half at the very least .
Everyone, including Yan Dan and Ying Zheng, was frowning as the six curtains of light converged in the sky into a hexagonal curtain of light that encompassed an area of hundreds of miles . Except for those who were pure body cultivators, such as Bai Qi and Fan Yuqi, others had felt the impact of the disappearance of natural energy . Like fishes out of water, they felt extremely uncomfortable . To make matters worse, the energy in their bodies was seeping out through their skins .
Not only did the formation force away all the surrounding natural energy, but it was also drawing energy from their bodies!
Bai Qi grunted coldly . Among the many generals of the six dynasties, his killing nature was definitely the strongest . Seeing that Great Yu used the formation to trap everyone, he immediately drew his sword and rushed toward the tens of thousands of human soldiers in the west, with a strong ominous aura churning around him . As he neared the enemies, a vague figure of a white tiger suddenly rose from behind him; accompanied by a frightening roar, he leaped up into the air and brought his sword down toward the ranks of soldiers .
Dozens of sword beams, each shaped like the head of a tiger, flew whistling out of the sword, plunging straight into the soldiers with a threatening, ominous aura . The soldiers cried out at the top of their lungs as three hundred of them marched forward, armed with a huge bronze shield each . The shields were connected to each other, forming a thick steel line of defense in front of them .
These bronze shields were about a foot thick, ten feet tall, and five feet wide; their ancient bodies were stained with color, looking at least several thousand years old . The surface of the green shields depicted the complex Ghost God patterns, which pieced together to form a complex restrictive rune .
The air rang with deafening booms as the sword beams that Bai Qi unleashed hit the shields . The three hundred soldiers snorted, their muscles bulging and their bodies moving backward . As each of the sword beams weighed at least 500,000 kilograms, although these soldiers were almost breaking through the realm of First Pangu Heaven, they were still being forced back .
But, pushing them back was all that Bai Qi had achieved . As they moved backward, the surface of the shields belched out green smoke and flames, forming a huge ghost head that swallowed up all the sword beams . The soldiers received no injuries except for the severe pain in their arms from the powerful impact .
The three hundred soldiers had barely retreated when heavy footsteps rang behind them . Eighteen hundred soldiers, all armed with shields, marched forward in six rows of three hundred soldiers each .
Bai Qi's face flickered . He had just delivered an attack with all his might, but that did not bring him any blood, and only embarrassment . With the six rows of soldiers marching forward now, it was clear to him that his hopes of breaking through the ranks in this direction had fallen short . As a commander in chief himself, he was well aware of the strength of an army in a formation . If his first strike did not destroy the formation, he would only be wasting his efforts by continuing the attack .
He spat sulkily, then transformed into a beam of white light, ready to retreat .
But, how could they let him leave so easily, now that he had fallen into the Six Gates Formation, which was the trump card of the human army stationed in Dayan Immortal Pass? While Bai Qi had only flown less than ten feet backward, three Moon Oracles on a flying ship over his head with seven crescent moons embroidered on their sleeves simultaneously raised their hands and crushed a strange bone charm they had been holding in their palms .
Suddenly, the void behind Bai Qi rippled like water . Before Ying Zheng could utter a word of warning, he had crashed into the void, and in the next moment, he appeared in the middle of eighteen hundred soldiers . With him in the center, eighteen hundred shields closed in rapidly, forming into a little iron fortress which trapped him firmly in .
Amidst loud shouts, the soldiers trapped Bai Qi pulled out the javelins hidden behind the shields at the same time . Accompanied by the muffled beatings of war drums, they threw the javelins at him with all their might . Eighteen hundred six-feet-long, sharp javelins pierced through the air with colorful, magical flames, blotting out the sky . It was a horrible scene that looked like a nightmare .
Roaring angrily, Bai Qi wielded his sword to slash off the javelins . But, a dozen Oracles high in the air suddenly blew on bone flutes made of Mermen's ribs . The melodious tune of the flutes came drifting down, leaving his sword-wielding arm to a sudden halt in the air . In his eyes appeared numerous illusions, such as a sea of gold and silver, fine wine and beautiful girls, and various visions that kept overlapping and changing .
