Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The power of the Demon God Battle Formation Wizard Technique was alarming, and it was even a step up from the Angel Battle Formation. Unfortunately, without enough Soul Energy, the Magical Beasts were unable to cast the technique even though they understood the concept behind the technique. However, the situation was now completely different now that they had the Magical Divine Rings that could absorb a large amount of faith in the Great Wizard!

After absorbing large amounts of Wish Power through the Magical Divine Ring and obtaining a huge boost in Soul Energy, the Dark Dragon King and the Burning Fire Elf King quickly grasped the Demon God Battle Formation under the guidance of Blood Angel Ophilia. The Giant Ape King, who had just advanced to the divine level, was no exception. He had learned the basic technique in a few hours and was able to layer on the strength of the Dark Dragon King, the Corpse Wizard King, and the rest of the group. At this point in time, the number of Divine-level Experts that had grasped the Demon God Battle Formation within the Magical Beast Army had reached five, not counting Yang Ling. Their battle capabilities were alarming after joining forces.

“Come, launch your most powerful attack; let me see how strong your battle capabilities get after you five join forces!” Seeing the massive improvement in the abilities of the Corpse Wizard King, the Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group, and watching them able to effortlessly fend off the combined attacks of the Nine-headed Snake Hydra, bald Mammoth Butler, and the rest of the army, Yang Ling was overcome with fighting spirit.

“Be careful, Lord, I am coming. Death Ripple!” The Corpse Wizard King did not hold back, instantly layering on the Soul Energy of the other four members and launching a terrifying Death Ripple that directly attacked Yang Ling’s soul.

Creak…

The Death Ripple cracked in the air as its waves spread outward, charging toward Yang Ling as fast as lightning. It tore open a thin Space Crack. After having an instantaneous burst of Soul Energy, the power of the attack became many times stronger than that of the past!

“Space Bind!”

Seeing the Death Ripple race toward him, Yang Ling’s pupils dilated, and he decisively cast the Space Bind, greatly limiting the power and speed of the group. He then teleported outward. Even though his Soul Defense was extremely powerful, he did not dare to take the terrifying and mysterious Soul Attack of the Corpse Wizard King head-on.

Buzz…

A flash of black light moved through the air, slicing toward the neck of the Corpse Wizard King with blinding speed. After teleporting outward, Yang Ling had decisively taken out the Battle Soul Blade behind his back. Faced with the Corpse Wizard King, the Dark Dragon King and the rest of the group, who had linked their bodies as one through the Demon God Battle Formation, Yang Ling did not dare hesitate. No one understood more than him how terrifying this battle formation was!

“Moon Blade!”

At the crucial moment, the Corpse Wizard King pulled back in retreat, while Blood Angel Ophilia charged forward with her giant blade in hand, pushing back Yang Ling’s sharp Battle Soul Blade. While she was miles away from Yang Ling in terms of individual ability, her speed and power had reached an alarming state after layering on the other four’s Divine Power through the Demon God Battle Formation!

“Great, take another one of my attacks!”

Yang Ling chose to advance instead of retreat, moving his Battle Soul Blade following its momentum and slicing it down toward Ophilia’s left shoulder as fast as lightning. Unexpectedly, while Ophilia had not managed to react in time, the Dark Dragon King who had reverted to his original form charged forward, his sharp claws slamming fiercely down toward Yang Ling’s head!

Through the telepathy brought about by the Demon God Battle Formation, the five of them complemented each other flawlessly, leaving behind nothing short of perfection!

One stroke, two strokes…

The Corpse Wizard King, Ophilia, and the rest of the group stubbornly defended against Yang Ling’s torrential rain of attacks. Even though they did not manage to launch an effective counter-attack nor capture Yang Ling’s elusive figure, they managed to fend off his terrifying Battle Soul Blade using their powerful defense.

“Good, very good. But you guys are still lacking in the high-level applications of the Demon God Battle Formation. You’ll have to continue researching and learning the technique after this!” Yang Ling slipped his Battle Soul Blade back into its sheath with a wide smile on his face.

Even an Abyssal Demon Leader that had abilities at the peak of a High-level Demon was not able to defend against his Battle Soul Blade under the effects of the Space Bind, being killed in an instant. The Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group had only advanced to the divine level and gained a preliminary understanding of the Demon God Battle Formation, yet was still able to defend themselves against his fierce attacks. That was good enough!

As long as he gave them time to further understand the technique, their battle capabilities were sure to improve rapidly!

“Lord, how can we improve our understanding of the high-level applications of the Demon God Battle Formation after this?” The Giant Ape King was extremely excited after having witnessed how powerful the Demon God Battle Formation was, humbly asking Yang Ling for advice. Yang Ling, who was the creator of the technique, was naturally the one who understood the Demon God Battle Formation the most out of all of them.

“Battle, only through multiple cleansings of the blood will you become true warriors. Only through repeated battles and practical use will you start to experience and understand the deeper mysteries behind the Wizard Techniques.” Yang Ling paused, looking at the Corpse Wizard King, the Giant Ape King and the rest of the group, then continued, “All this while, I had hoped to be able to build an army of Divine-level Magical Beasts and get the individual Magical Beast Champions to take on the roles of a commander. Now, it is time for me to let you go out and do battle on your own!”

Magical Beast Commander?

The group had a glimmer in their eyes when they heard Yang Ling say this.

There were more and more Magical Beasts within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. With the advancement in Yang Ling’s abilities, it was reasonable to assume that there would be more and more Divine-level Magical Beasts joining the ranks of the Magical Beast Army in the foreseeable future. Being able to become the commander of the army and lead a team of Divine-level Magical Beasts in conquering the dimensions would definitely be a great honor!

“Currently, we have Divine-level Magical Beasts, Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, as well as a large number of mid to low-level Magical Beasts. In order to strengthen the battle capabilities of the teams, there is a need to set up different units based on the respective unique points of the Magical Beasts!” Yang Ling waved his hand and summoned Scorpion King Ymort, Shadow Wizard Winnink and the rest of the group who were training further away to discuss how best to reorganize the army.

“Lord, recently, I’ve discovered another great use for the Death Horn. It can quickly turn dead Divine-level Experts into powerful high-level spirits. I hope that I can set up an army of Divine-level Undeads in the future!” Stroking the mysterious symbols on the Death Horn, the Corpse Wizard King was incredibly excited.

“Lord, as long as there are enough divinities, I can head to Dragon Island and recruit a large number of Giant Dragons into the army to set up a powerful aerial unit after we return to the Tailun Continent!” The Dark Dragon King was unwilling to back down, hoping to also become a powerful commander and help obtain a batch of valuable divinities for his tribespeople.

“Lord, a unit of heavy cavalry Mammoths is sure to be able to trample the enemies into paste!”

…

The group scrambled to highlight the advantages of their tribe. Being a Magical Beast Commander was a glorious thing, an opportunity that none of them wanted to miss. Even if they were unable to become the Creat Commander, they could at least become a small commander that controlled a unit!

“The Magical Beast Territory is our foundation and the Wizard Pagoda’s Space is our main base. The Magical Beast Military Factory specializes in researching new weapons, and the Beast Soul Altar can experiment and form new breeds of Magical Beasts. We already have the necessary conditions for a powerful army, but…” Yang Ling paused as he looked at the group listening intently at him. He continued, “Currently, we do have flying Magical Beasts, land-dwelling Magical Beasts, as well as oceanic Magical Beasts, but we are lacking in variety of Divine-level Magical Beasts that have abilities that are strong enough.”

“Lord, do you mean that we should first set up a few units, then further divide them when a suitable opportunity arises?” Ophilia was intelligent, quickly guessing what Yang Ling was getting at.

“That’s right, before taming a large number of Divine-level Magical Beasts, it’s best that we concentrate the elites and set up a few larger units before dividing them into smaller subunits when the opportune conditions arise in the future.” Yang Ling nodded appreciatively as he looked at the intelligent Ophilia, slowly announcing the new organization.

An aerial unit with the Dark Dragons and Flying Dragons at its core, including the Flying Spiders and Lightning Birds, would be responsible for aerial combat and bombardment, as well as providing support for the land-dwelling Magical Beasts. The Dark Dragon King would assume the role of commander of the aerial unit, with the Flying Dragon King Seylius as his vice-commander. A unit of heavy cavalries with the Giant Apes and Mammoths at its core would be responsible for powerful charges and attacks on land. The Giant Ape King would helm the role of commander, with the bald Mammoth Butler as his vice-commander.

Long-Range artillery with the Burning Fire Elves at its core would include the Sea Demons and Evil Eyes, responsible for long-range attacks and providing the Magical Beast Army with magical barriers. This unit would be commanded by the Burning Fire Elf King and seconded by the Evil Eye Tyrant. The many Blood Angels would form their own unit and be commanded by Ophilia.

A unit of guards with the Bloodsucking Vines, Demonic Vines and Withered Tree Warriors at its core would include Magical Beasts like the Chimeras and Red-haired Tarantulas, and they were responsible for defending the main camp. Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth would command this unit, and Shadow Wizard Winnink would be made vice-commander. Infantries would be made up of Horned Bee Beasts and Vampire Bats and would include high-level Groundhogs. They were responsible for scouting terrain, as well as the mission of searching for suitable Magical Beasts. They would be commanded by the demoness.

“Currently, we will temporarily be split into these six larger units. When the conditions are ripe, we can then split the bombardment units from the aerial forces, and so on and so forth. As for the Great Commander of the Magical Beast Army, that position will be helmed by Rodriguez. He will be responsible for the consolidation and overall command of the other units!” After looking at the group, Yang Ling slowly announced his last order.

A Magical Beast Chief Commander?

Even though he had already been mentally prepared, the Corpse Wizard King was still extremely excited when he heard Yang Ling’s order. He did not expect Yang Ling to hand over such an important responsibility to him. After taking a few deep breaths, he walked forward to Yang Ling and bowed as he accepted his orders. He received a ferocious-looking Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag!

“Rest for tonight, we leave the valley tomorrow morning and continue our journey toward the faraway Moon River. Along the way, we will encounter many Magical Beasts and Evil Demons, I hope that you won’t disappoint me.”

After leaving behind a few simple instructions and getting the Corpse Wizard King to seize the time to organize the army, Yang Ling made a Wizard Seal and left the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. He took some time to set up defenses around the valley, layering on heavy restrictions on the foundation he had set up previously. He waved his hand to summon Ophilia and got her to lead men in setting up a Great Wizard Altar within the valley at the fastest speed possible. He was going to make this valley his foothold in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons!
