Chapter 2158: 2158 Chapter 2158: Suffered a Double Loss The Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation is the name of the Bull Demon Clan’s battle formation. According to human records, the power of the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation is not weak, comparable to the demon race’s battle formations. Moreover, the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation has an advantage that the demon race’s formations cannot match: it does not need to consider cultivation levels. The more people in the formation, the greater its power. It is said that if a thousand peak God Kings form the formation, they can rival a God Venerable. If a thousand peak God Venerables form the formation, they can contend with a Transcendent. Even without peak God Venerables, as long as there are ten thousand high-level God Venerables, they can still fight a Transcendent. Although they would certainly lose, they could at least hold out for a while and not be utterly defeated. Now, at least several hundred thousand members of the Bull Demon Clan have formed the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation, heading towards the human Xuanwu Star Region. Led by the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable, the formation’s power is terrifying. Even a Saint Venerable would have to retreat. The human race had long discovered the Bull Demon Clan’s approach, and the formations in the Xuanwu Star Region were fully activated. The power of the Human Emperor Network surged like a waterfall, causing the formations to glow intensely. A phantom Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) appeared in the starry sky. The Xuanwu Star Region, using the mythical beast Xuanwu from the Xuanwu Battlefield as a totem, created the Xuanwu Formation. Once activated, it can manifest the image of Xuanwu. Since its creation, this formation had never been used in actual combat. Now, with the Bull Demon Clan attacking, the formation was deployed for the first time. Xuanwu let out a roar, and boundless water appeared in the starry sky, transforming into a vast ocean that surged towards the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation. Xuanwu belongs to the water element, and the water laws were greatly enhanced by the formation. The ocean grew stronger, and the laws sublimated into the power of rules. Faintly, a world rose within the power of rules, with the formation even evolving into a rules world. Within the formation, belief plaques spontaneously burned, and the power of belief was added to the formation. At the same time, a hundred drops of Myriad Colored Water flew out, merging into the formation. The human race’s original power of belief and the Myriad Colored Water jointly empowered the formation, pushing it to its limit. Xuanwu seemed to don a layer of armor, becoming radiant and colorful. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable’s expression grew more serious as he felt the power of the Xuanwu Formation, which was no less than the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation. "The human race’s foundation is indeed terrifying." "If it weren’t for attacking while the human race was weak, with the secret help of the Black Blood Great World, the various races would never have had a chance to invade." In truth, he didn’t want to face the human race head-on, but now he had no choice. Roar! Xuanwu roared a second time, leaping into the ocean, and a full moon rose from the ocean. The formation evolved Xuanwu and simultaneously evolved a rules world, turning decay into magic. The ocean waves surged forward, colliding head-on with the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation. "Kill!" The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable roared, summoning his own rules world. It was a blood-colored land where countless black bulls in blood armor ran wildly. The power of the rules world merged into the formation, further amplifying its power. With a thunderous boom, terrifying energy swept through the starry sky. The starry sky shattered like tofu, and the massive shockwave surged. The formations of the Xuanwu Star Region glowed brightly, blocking all the impact. The formations twisted but did not break. The human race’s formations were far stronger than the demon race’s barriers. Moreover, with the continuous supply of power from the Human Emperor Network, even a Saint Venerable couldn’t break through easily. The ocean waves surged like a volcanic eruption, scattering in all directions and then falling like arrows. The Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation evolved demon bulls that collided with Xuanwu. Xuanwu was knocked over, but its tail swept into the blood sea as it flipped. Countless Bull Demon Clan members were swept away with screams, their bodies shattered in mid-air, dying on the spot. This sweep was incredibly powerful, causing even high-level God Venerables to vomit blood and be seriously injured. Those below high-level God Venerables died instantly upon contact. With just this sweep, one-third of the hundreds of thousands of Bull Demon Clan members in the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation died instantly. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable’s eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in anger. Countless blood-armored mad bulls charged out from his rules world, attacking Xuanwu. Xuanwu’s scales flashed, shooting countless ice arrows like a dense storm, directly extinguishing the blood-armored mad bulls. At the same time, Xuanwu stomped, causing the starry sky to tremble, enough to shatter a star system. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable swung his battle blade, cutting off Xuanwu’s leg. With a loud crack, Xuanwu’s leg was severed, but the energy shockwave killed another batch of Bull Demon Clan members. More than half of the people he brought were dead or injured, yet they hadn’t even touched the edge of the Xuanwu Star Region. The formation flickered, and Xuanwu’s leg instantly regenerated. The turtle shell on Xuanwu’s back suddenly flew out, smashing into the Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable felt a pang of fear. "Retreat quickly!" He roared, ordering his people to flee. But it was too late; the turtle shell exploded. The Blood Sea Demon Bull Formation collapsed instantly. Except for the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable, all the Bull Demon Clan members were killed. After this strike, Xuanwu’s aura rapidly declined, turning into starlight and dissipating. The Xuanwu Formation also had its limits, which had now been reached, requiring time to recover. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable watched as the tens of thousands of his people died before his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and he charged towards the Xuanwu Formation with his battle blade. At this moment, a figure appeared in the starry sky, clad in golden armor and radiating dazzling light. The Human Emperor descended. Although it was just a projection, its power was no less than that of the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable. The Human Emperor pressed his palm down, and countless runes gathered into an ancient symbol. The ancient symbol transformed into a pagoda, pressing down. "Get lost!" The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable roared, slashing with his blade. The starry sky was torn apart, and the blade light struck the pagoda, sending it flying. But the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable was also sent flying uncontrollably. The Human Emperor moved both hands, evolving countless runes. Runes flew out from within the Xuanwu Star Region, intertwining to form ancient symbols. The ancient symbols evolved into weapons of all kinds, thousands of them, attacking the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable roared, swinging his battle blade continuously, destroying weapon after weapon. Although the evolved symbols were powerful, they couldn’t stop a true Saint Venerable. The Human Emperor didn’t intend to stop him, just to buy some time. The Xuanwu Formation quickly recovered. Within minutes, the formation was operational again, and Xuanwu reappeared in the starry sky. The Human Emperor leaped onto Xuanwu’s head, looking coldly at the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable was on the verge of madness. Dealing with Xuanwu alone was difficult enough, and now with the Human Emperor’s projection, he had no chance. If he insisted on fighting, he might die here. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable roared in anger, his energy and blood surging, and turned to leave. The Human Emperor didn’t pursue, watching quietly as the Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable left, then dispersed the Xuanwu Formation. The Scarlet Bull Saint Venerable not only failed to break into the human territory but also lost tens of thousands of his people, suffering a heavy loss. A similar situation occurred in the White Tiger Star Region. The Golden Eagle Clan’s Purple Gold Saint Venerable led his subordinates to attack the White Tiger Star Region. But he encountered Star Elder’s avatar and didn’t dare to engage, fleeing in disgrace. The Human Emperor’s greatest strength lies in control. To exert his full power, he needs to be near the Divine City, not in the four star regions. As long as Star Elder is in human territory, he can exert his power to the fullest. If the Purple Gold Saint Venerable dared to charge in, Star Elder would ensure he never left human territory. After a round of battles, two flying sword runes flew out, one to the Rune Saint Venerable and the other to Lin Moyu.
