Marrying Wives and Attaining Immortality in a Chaotic World

Chapter 396: The Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation

Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts did not directly cross space to descend upon the Qian Dynasty Imperial City. For safety’s sake, they first activated the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, each of them floating in the air, their positions forming the shape of a Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation was not massive-it appeared to be about the size of an ordinary human being. In other words, Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts had been “shrunk,” akin to the mystical concept of storing vastness within a tiny space.

Although the War God was small, its might was anything but. Its overwhelming presence radiated across the heavens and earth, merging the combined auras of Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts into a single, awe-inspiring entity that seemed to dominate the entire world!

Undoubtedly, no single supreme expert in the current era could challenge or stand against this Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation!

The strongest members of the various top factions stared intently at this overwhelmingly divine Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, their hearts trembling with shock.

“The Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation formed by Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts probably has the peak strength of a ninth stage supreme expert, right?”

“Definitely. Aside from Xu Lian, more than half of the thirty-five supreme experts are mid- or high-level supreme experts. With so many supreme experts combined, it’s inevitable that their collective strength will reach the pinnacle of the ninth stage supreme level.

However, it is impossible to surpass the realm of a supreme expert. Even if you combine countless supreme experts, you will not be able to surpass the limit of supremacy. It’s not a matter of quantity—it’s an unattainable realm.

Even without surpassing the supreme level, standing at the peak of the ninth rank in this era is already invincible.”

“The Shui Family’s combined technique truly lives up to its reputation as an unparalleled secret art. Fortunately, this Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation is being used to deal with the Qian Dynasty’s foundation monster. If it were used to conquer the world, no single top-tier faction could possibly resist it-it would be enough to crush everything in its path!”

“The Shui Family’s combined technique is indeed remarkable, but alas, the Shui Family can’t gather thirty-six supreme experts on its own, nor can any other major faction. Therefore, this technique is mostly useless in ordinary times. Only during rare occasions like this can the Shui Family’s combined technique unleash its full potential.”

“That’s right. If the Shui Family could gather thirty-six supreme experts, they would have dominated the world by now instead of staying hidden in just half of Yunzhou Prefecture.”

Inside the golden glow of the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts were positioned equally. Six stood at the head, six at the torso, and six at each limb, twenty-four in all, with Xu Lian occupying the central position.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Shui Family had placed Xu Lian at the center of the forehead-the location of the Sea of Consciousness, where intent resides. As a result, the actions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation were controlled by Xu Lian.

During the earlier practice sessions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, the thirty-five supreme experts had fiercely competed for this coveted forehead position. However, none of them managed to secure it, leaving Xu Lian to seize the opportunity.

The Supreme of Heaven’s Treasury was deeply dissatisfied with Xu Lian controlling the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation . After all, the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury harbored enmity toward the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. What if Xu Lian, while controlling the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, suddenly decided to strike at the Heavenly Treasury’s Holy Land? Even their protective barriers wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from a ninth-class Supreme God of War.

Similarly, Blood Sea Supreme Xue Ranfu voiced significant objections. The Blood Sea Sect had grievances with the Yin Dynasty, and Xu Lian was the Yin Dynasty’s imperial son-in-law. Moreover, the relations between the Blood Sea Sect and the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands weren’t exactly friendly either. Xue Ranfu feared that Xu Lian might suddenly kick the Blood Sea Sect while wielding the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation.

Ultimately, Heaven’s Treasury Supreme and Blood Sea Supreme Xue Ranfu strongly demanded that Xu Lian swear a grand cosmic oath, vowing not to target Heaven’s Treasury Sacred Land or the Blood Sea Sect while controlling the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation .

Complying with their demands, Xu Lian swore the oath, and only then did the two reluctantly agree.

Aside from Yin Dynasty Supreme Dantai Wujie, who supported Xu Lian leading the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, the other supreme experts naturally didn’t want Xu Lian in control either. However, they couldn’t find a suitable alternative candidate, so they reluctantly accepted the situation. After all, time was short and there was no room for further arguments.

As the controller of theThirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, Xu Lian’s own feelings were nothing short of exhilarating.

Very exhilarating.

Extremely exhilarating.

Incredibly exhilarating…

At this moment, he felt unimaginably powerful, as though he could destroy heaven and earth with a mere flick of his hand.

At this moment, he perceived the strongest members of the various top-tier factions as mere ants-perhaps slightly stronger ants, but still utterly insignificant and weak.

With the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation ready, Xu Lian and the thirty-five supreme experts prepared to face the monstrous foundation of the Qian Dynasty. Their journey to the imperial city would soon begin, carrying with it the hopes and fears of the entire world.

“I now possess the strength to be the strongest in the world… It would be such a waste not to do what I want.”

An evil thought flashed through Xu Lian’s mind.

Suddenly, he turned around – not heading toward the imperial capital of the Qian Dynasty, but instead making his way toward Misty Ghost Mountain, located near Pingyang County.

Back then, when he had traveled with Jiang Xianyu’s caravan to search for the Nightbloom Flower in Linfu County, they had passed through the perilous Misty Ghost Mountain. The illusions there had tormented him to no end.

Now that he was the strongest in the world, how could he let such grievances go unavenged? It would be a waste of his unparalleled power.

Thunder roared… His cultivation had reached unimaginable heights.

“Misty Ghost Mountain , here I come.”

With bold and unyielding steps, Xu Lian marched forward.

The thirty-five supreme experts suddenly noticed that the Thirty-Six Heavenly Tribe Battle Formation had changed course – it wasn’t heading towards the Qian Dynasty’s imperial capital. Something was clearly amiss, leaving them all stunned.

“Xu Lian, what are you doing?”

“Why did you suddenly change your direction?”

The strongest members of the various top-tier factions were closely monitoring the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, eagerly anticipating its confrontation with the Qian Dynasty Foundation Monster to eliminate this calamity. However, just as the formation was about to reach the imperial city, it abruptly turned away. This left everyone stunned, followed by indignation.

“Nine Heavenly Divine Sons, Xu Lian, what does this mean?”

“The Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation was created by the combined efforts of the world’s top powers, it does not belong to you alone! How dare you use it for your own purposes instead of confronting the Qian Dynasty Foundation Monster!”

At the Divine Race Ancestral Grounds, Supreme Experts Bai Luohe , He Changfeng, and Meng Hao all twitched their lips and raised their hands to cover their foreheads in exasperation. They couldn’t bear to watch Xu Lian’s actions. 

Obviously, Xu Lian intended to use the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation for personal matters, which was bound to provoke widespread anger.

However, Time Supreme remained calm, her beautiful eyes watching silently. With Xu Lian now in control of the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, his strength was nearly unmatched in the world. Knowing Xu Lian’s personality, it would actually be strange if he didn’t do something out of the ordinary.

In Yunzhou Prefecture, the Supreme of Shui Family’s expression changed drastically. He immediately crossed the space to intercept the Thirty Six Heavenly Stems Battle Formation . “Nine Heavenly Divine Sons, what do you think you’re doing? The Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Sons Battle Formation is meant to deal with the foundation monster of the Qian Dynasty, it cannot be used for personal gain!”

After all, it was the Supreme Shui Family who had decided to let Xu Lian take control of the formation. If Xu Lian used it to do something outrageous and provoked public fury, the Shui Family would bear the responsibility.

Xu Lian chuckled. “Don’t worry, I just remembered some personal business. I’ll be back soon.”

The Supreme of the Shui Family’s face darkened. “No. If you insist on acting recklessly, then my Shui Family will have no choice but to use the counter technique of the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation to strip you of your control over the formation.”

Without hesitation, Xu Lian, who controlled the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, raised a massive hand imbued with divine power. Like a colossal mountain descending from the heavens, an overwhelming force instantly suppressed the Supreme Shui Family.

The Supreme of the Shui Family was pinned down by a colossal hand of divine energy, unable to move or resist. He was completely stunned.

While the Shui Family did indeed possess the counter technique to dismantle the Thirty-Six Heavenly War God Battle Formation, he was now completely immobilized and unable to execute it. What could he possibly do now?

“What should we do now…” Xu Lian smiled faintly. “Senior, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen.”

With that, Xu Lian took a single step and arrived at Misty Ghost Mountain .

With the peak strength of a ninth-rank Supreme Expert at his disposal, he was confident that dealing with Misty Ghost Mountain would be no challenge at all.
