Staring into the horizons, another gigantic figure also appeared in the distance. This figure looked as though it was in a sleeping state and this is none other than the Dream Demon King.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect also had an army of a hundred thousand immortals rushing over. The experts on both sides stood in opposition, gazing at each other in the distance. The terrifying pressure permeating the area gave off the feeling of apocalypse. It was simply too terrifying. Two hundred thousand immortals stood in the surroundings, each individual was exuding might.

Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan and Purgatory were all in the army. However, other than wearing the armor given by the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, they all wore the puppeted armor which Qin Wentian obtained from the Battle Saint Tribe underneath. Also, they were all wearing a mask that could obstruct immortal senses, causing their opponents to be unable to see their features.

Little Rascal transformed into a baleful-looking gigantic white tiger mountain. This made Ye Qing stare at them in shock but she didn’t question them too much on their dressing style.

In these armies, regardless of fighting on the side of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect or Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, there were countless individuals who wanted to hide their identities. This was an immortal war, if they killed somebody else in the war and suffered acts of revenge, what would they do? Even for the small team with the size of roughly a hundred members under Ye Qing’s control, there are already many of such people. It’s just that Ye Qing was shocked because Qin Wentian and his comrades were already so cautious despite this being their first battle.

"Captain, how does the calculation of battle merits work?" Jun Mengchen stared at Ye Qing as he asked.

"Do you see the immortal king experts beside the generals? They are all observing the battlefield with their immortal sense, imprinting the scenes of the battle in their minds. They would know how many you enemies you have killed." Ye Qing replied. Jun Mengchen inclined his head and stared at the immortal kings in the air. Immortal kings were all extremely powerful, with their immortal sense surveying the battlefield, they are able to analyse countless scenarios instantly. Just a single immortal king is sufficient to calculate the battle merits of individuals who participated.

"A battle with the full strength of our armies. Even immortal kings are mobilized, General Ox is here to personally observe the battle." Xiao Yehan sighed. "Brothers, you guys try to be more careful. Even for me, such a large-scale battle is a first experience. Things are simply too dangerous."

"Seems like you guys have recruited quite a number of new soldiers." The Dream Demon King still appeared to be sleeping but his voice suddenly rang out in the minds of everyone present.

"However, these are nothing but a bunch of weak juniors. Do you all really think that you can obtain benefits by joining the war against my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s disciples? Today, I’m going to show you all that some things, are impossible right from the start. The moment you choose to do so, just be prepared to pay the price." The voice of the Dream Demon King radiated coldness, causing the hearts of everyone to shudder as their battle intent got affected.

"Stop trying to bewitch the minds of people." General Ox spoke loudly, his voice resonating through the sky. "Immortals in the immortal realms all seek to be stronger constantly. Without experiencing the intense danger at the borders of life and death, how could one break through their limits? Isn’t it excellent that my troops can use your army as a sacrifice to honor the path of the strong?"

"What boastful words. I will make sure you guys will carve the painful memory of this battle into your minds forever." The voice of the Dream Demon King rang out again. Beside the Dream Demon King, another immortal king expert turned gigantic as he issued a command, "Flame Army, move out."

As the sound of his voice faded, a thousand-people regiment walked out from the Eastern Sage Army. These thousand people were all clad in flame-attribute armor, exuding an imposing aura.

"This is the army which belonged to the Deepflame Immortal King. After he died, a majority of his army was split and given to the other immortal kings. Right now, these thousand were selected from the strongest of Deepflame’s army, and can be considered crack troops." Ye Qing’s expression grew heavy. She knew it wouldn’t be so easy to deal with them.

This action by them was tantamount to a challenge. If the Thousand Transformations Army wished to respond, they can also send out a thousand-people regiment. If not if they didn’t dare to do so, the morale of the soldiers would surely be affected.

"These are all high-level elites of the Immortal Foundation Realm." Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. Seems like this was a regiment of a thousand crack troops specially selected to deal with the army from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

"Crazed Ox Army, move out." Beside General Ox, the military governor issued a command. At the same time, a troop of a thousand people also moved forward, stopping at the boundary, coming face to face with the crack troops from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

The experts in the Crazed Ox Army were all muscular and sturdy, exuding an aura of wildness. They were specially selected cracked troops who were extremely powerful and all members of the army had beast-type astral souls.

Similarly, for the Flame Army, the people in there all possessed flame-type astral souls, proficient in heat and fire. These experts when gathered together in a formation, were able to unleash a powerful might.

"Set up the formation." The generals on both sides roared. Momentarily, the armies of a thousand-people on both side entered a formation. A fearsome heat erupted forth from the Flame Army as a ten-thousand meter fire dragon manifested, blotting on the sun. The ground was baked dry by the scorching heat and turned a fiery red in color. It was terrifying to the extreme.

"ROAR!" A heaven-shaking roar shook the skies. The formation by the Crazed Ox Army manifested a tyrannical titanic giant demon ox. Both its horns curved towards the sky as an intense baleful aura swept over everything.

"KILL!" The Flame Army unleashed their attacks, that fire dragon wrenched its maw open and shot over, wanting to destroy everything. The demon ox howled, causing the sky to change color. Its demonic qi turned into a tempest as smaller versions of itself manifested, stampeding through the air. Violent roars trembled the space as the many oxen rushed towards the fire dragon. Although they were burned grievously, they all continued ramming their heads into the body of the fire dragon.

"The might of an army formation is truly terrifying." Qin Wentian mused as he observed the battle. The fire dragon was dangerous and tyrannical while the demon ox was berserk and ferocious. As long as the experts forming the formation can continue to supply energy and the formation isn’t broken, the manifestation can last forever. But once a formation is broken or the energy flow is disrupted, that army would suffer a heavy defeat.

"Retreat." Ultimately, the commander from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect ordered a retreat, they weren’t able to defeat the Crazed Ox Battle Formation.

"Return." The governor from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect also commanded.

"Life-death group move out." The commander of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect spoke again. A moment later, nine experts from the Eastern Sage Army walked out. These nine people all had sharp expressions and exuded an extraordinary air. Qin Wentian’s eyes narrowed as he stared at one among them. His face instantly turned ice-cold, as his killing intent gushed forth. That man was none other than the person who acted against Luo Huan and Qin Yao, it was that disciple of the Dream Demon King.

He wanted nothing more than to rush out now and kill this man as he wore the puppeted armor. However this was the battlefield and he couldn’t act impulsively. But no matter, since they were both at war, he would find an opportunity to take the life of that man sooner or later.

Qin Wentian discovered that just so coincidentally, these nine people had cultivation bases ranging precisely from the first-level to the ninth.

"Captain, is that a challenge?"

"Yes. A person at each level of immortal-foundation, this is also a challenge directed at us. We have to send nine people of the corresponding levels to answer or we can choose to retreat which will drastically affect our morale. During the challenge phase, we must definitely obtain a victory. This time around the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect kept forcing our hand, it’s clear they are well prepared." Ye Qing spoke. She then continued, "Also, the format of this challenge battle is a life-and-death battle. Only the victor can leave the battlefield alive."

"In that case, since there are nine people there wouldn’t be the possibility of a draw. One side would win for certain." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, the most direct situation is five wins and four defeats. One side must win for sure." Xiao Yehan spoke.

"A battle to determine life and death. The victor can live while the loser has to die. Victors will gain one share of low-grade merit. Who wishes to participate?" In the air, the military governor of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect roared. Defeat equals death. If you won, you would have rendered a share of low-grade battle achievement merit for yourself.

A low-grade merit can be exchanged for immortal weapons. On the battlefield, one must kill ten same-level opponents or a hundred weaker-level opponents, or three stronger-level opponents before they can obtain a share of low-grade merit.

"I will fight." Several figures stepped forth. Instantly, many people of differing cultivation bases all wanted to fight. There were many in the army who sought to temper themselves, craving to obtain a battle achievement merit.

Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen both walked out and shouted respectively, "I’m willing to do battle."

The eyes of Ye Qing and the others flashed as they stared at Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. These two little fellows are actually so gutsy. For the sake of achieving a merit, they are even willing to participate in a life-and-death battle.

The military governor swept his gaze over the crowd before he started to select the participants, "You, you, you..."

Finally, his gaze landed on Qin wentian and Jun Mengchen. "You two as well, can participate in this."

"Yes." The nine selected participants obeyed the orders and moved towards the battlefield ahead.

"Do your best, you guys have to stay alive." Ye Qing transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen.

Qin Wentian turned back to glance at her as he nodded.

"Don’t worry Captain." Jun Mengchen waved his hand as he confidently stated.

Nine men stepped out, each with different cultivation bases. They came to the battlefield and walked respectively towards their enemies who had the same level of cultivation as them.

Qin Wentian would fight against a second-level immortal, Jun Mengchen would fight against a first-level immortal. Qin Wentian swept a glance at the Dream Demon King’s disciple. The person who captured Luo Huan and Qin Yao was a seventh-level immortal, his strength would surely be terrifying.

"Start the battle." A loud voice thundered. The soldiers of both armies had solemn expressions as they watched on.

Eighteen experts all erupted forth with powerful auras as the fight broke out in an instant.

In front of Qin Wentian was a young man with a malevolent expression. He smiled, "Concealing your facial features? Are you afraid that you would be hunted down in the future even if you won? Since you dared to participate in this, do you think you still can live?"

Qin Wentian’s eyes that were revealed through the slits of his mask glittered with light. He didn’t stare at his opponent but instead was looking at the other battles. And as expected, that disciple of the Dream Demon King was extremely powerful, his demonic eyes were able to cause his opponents to slip into a daze. Qin Wentian knew that that man would win this battle for sure.

He wanted very much to kill that man but when two armies are warring, there are certain rules to follow. Even immortal kings cannot defy and break those rules. If he, an immortal-foundation character dares to break the rules, the immortal kings on his side might kill him first.

Qin Wentian’s opponent stared at him. An expression of interest appeared on his face when he noticed Qin Wentian even had the time to leisurely admire the battles of others. This fellow was simply courting death, he himself was a disciple of a powerful immortal king from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and was one of the rare nine individuals selected for this life-and-death challenge battle. He was confident that his side would win this for sure.
