Chapter 1097

: Retreating After Success
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The two military governors soared into the air to fight their own battles, no longer directing the flow of the battle below. Other than immortal king characters, the immortal senses of immortal-foundation experts weren’t vast enough to survey the entire battlefield, they wouldn’t be able to direct and control the battle as effectively.
At this moment, there was only chaos. The two parties could only fight and make decisions based on themselves.
Evidently, the Eastern Sage Army was long prepared. If they didn’t encounter the Divine Ape Battle Formation of Qin Wentian’s regiment, their Nine Dragon Battle Formation would definitely be unrivalled here, able to kill its way effortlessly into the heart of the Thousand Transformations Army, wrecking havoc.
Right now because the Nine Dragons Battle Formation has been defeated, they took out a supreme treasure that restricted any formations forming. Since they were defeated in formations, they wanted to have a royal rumble chaotic battle between the two armies.
Also, from the perspective of solo battles, the experts from the Eastern Sage Army were disciples from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Their quality is naturally higher compared the Thousand Transformation Army who recruits random people from the six prefectures. In that case, if this format of battle was adopted, right at the start of the battle, the Eastern Sage Army would already be in an invincible position.
The roaring sounds rang out unceasingly as the two armies galloped at each other. Since they had no way to form formations, they can only fight like mortals.
Qin Wentian floated up in the air. The thirty-six experts from the Battle Saint Tribe circled around him, guarding his safety. The changes on the battlefield could happen in an instant. They naturally have to follow Qin Wentian closely, not allowing him to encounter danger.
When two armies fought, immortal techniques and arts are blasted towards each other unceasingly, the aftershocks formed destructive streams of qi which condensed into a terrifying tempest that ravaged the surroundings.
Those controllers of the nine-headed dragon avatar earlier were all clad in violet-golden armor. They soared into the air and stepped out with dragon spears in their hands, sweeping every obstacle to the side, killing whoever they encountered.
Qin Wentian wasn’t in a hurry to join the battle. He was observing the battlefield. Now under the situation whereby the battle formations are unable to be established, they could only fight in groups or one-on-one. The strength of one man was too difficult to influence the battle situation. He wanted to see the disparity in individual combat prowess between the Eastern Sage Army and Thousand Transformations Army.
After that, an all-out clash began. Qin Wentian discovered that it was as he has expected, the Thousand Transformations Army was at a disadvantage, an entire level weaker in comparison. He needed to think of a solution to reverse the situation.
Lifting his head, Qin Wentian stared ahead. Those experts clad in violet-gold armor won every battle they fought. These were all high-level experts, elites of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Right now, this group of elites were heading over their way.

Bzz~
A bright light flashed as Qin Wentian’s palms blasted out once more. Several puppeted armors appeared and were activated as Qin Wentian then spoke,
Equip them.

In the surroundings, the thirty-six experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, including Jun Mengchen and Purgatory all equipped the puppeted armor. Qin Wentian also equipped it as well and although this group of people were considered somewhat insignificant in the perspective of the entire battlefield, they still gave off a sense of extreme pressure to those in their surroundings.
If he had a choice, Qin Wentian would definitely not use these armor. If he used them, this meant that he had a probability to expose his identity. Once his identity was exposed, he would then no longer be able to be a part of this front-line fighting in the battlefield or he risked suffering an ambush from immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. To kill him, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would certainly resort to all unscrupulous means.

FOLLOW ME!
Qin Wentian shouted as he dashed towards the elites of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.

Mhm?
Those elites were somewhat shocked. They had won all battles and were the leaders of these soldiers. Right now, the morale on their side was sky-high, they killed their way into the heart of the Thousand Transformations Army and slaughtered the people here as they willed. However, when the elites saw Qin Wentian’s group arriving, they could faintly sense that this group was similarly, also the backbone of the army.

Finish them.
Qin Wentian coldly spoke. Those equipped with the puppeted armor suddenly glow with a radiant battle light. They lifted their palms and blasted out, manifesting numerous divine apes that rushed over. Everywhere the apes passed by, the immortals near there would all be wiped out. With a single round of attacks, over hundreds from the Eastern Sage Army died just like that.

Elite disciples from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?
Qin Wentian and his group walked to the front of those clad in violet-golden armors as he coldly continued,
All of you will die here.

As he spoke, his group of people launched another round of attacks as numerous divine apes rushed over, their howls and roars shaking the heavens. Those at the side who wanted to obstruct them all died. Only those demon-level true geniuses of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had the qualifications to contend against them.

DIE!
Those experts clad in violet-golden armor all simultaneously shot out with a spear attack. In an instant, a storm of destruction gushed over, promising pure annihilation. Qin Wentian roared. His form grew to over ten thousand meters, akin to a god of battle. Not only for him, those experts from the Battle Saint Tribe also expanded in size as their auras swept out tyrannically.
The Battle Saint Art encompassed everything, able to be used to complement any killing attacks and granting one boundless strength. Even if one still hadn’t broken through to the immortal king stage, their bodies would be able to expand immensely using this art, radiating a supreme battle might.
Also, the puppeted armor equipped on them are all specially made, able to expand and contract at will.
These thirty plus terrifying figures soared up into the sky, staring loftily at everything below. For a period of time, the entire battlefield turned their gazes over as shock filled their hearts. Qin Wentian precisely wanted this effect. He had to ensure his battle would become the focal point of the entire battlefield, causing panic and fear to those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, boosting the confidence and conviction of those from the Thousand Transformations Army.
The powerful attacks slammed into the gigantic puppeted armor, yet for all its power, the impact only made them tremble slightly. There was no damage done at all.
Qin Wentian stretched out his palm. All of a sudden, an intense light flashed as runic glows shimmered, making his palm resemble an indomitable hand of God that was smashing downwards to the elite characters who were the leaders of the Eastern Sage Army’s elite teams. The gigantic palm imprint had enough power to tear this world asunder, capable of exterminating every life on this planet.

This is…
The countenances of those enemies all changed as they hurriedly took out immortal-ranked weapons to defend. However as the palm imprint pressed down, everyone who came into contact was crushed into nothingness, no one could withstand it. Those experts from the Battle Saint Tribe around Qin Wentian also all launched their killing attacks and for an instant, this place became a hell of destruction. Many of those lofty elites of the Eastern Sage Army clad in violet-golden armor also died from the impact and the survivors were all in extremely miserable states.

So many dastardly schemes but what do they amount to? In the end, victory belongs to the strong. The Thousand Transformations Army is invincible!
Qin Wentian roared thunderously as he blasted out another palm imprint once more. These thirty-six experts and Qin Wentian were like slaughter gods, exterminating everything in their path. For those from the Eastern Sage Army, regardless if they were elites or ordinary soldiers, all of them were walking on the path of death.

INVINCIBLE!
The experts from the Thousand Transformations Sect roared loudly.

INVINCIBLE…!
The sound echoed through the battlefield.
Gradually, everyone on the battlefield was seemingly affected by the emotions packed into the word. The Thousand Transformations Army followed after Qin Wentian step-by-step, completely dominating their enemies.

He is Qin Wentian. If we kill him we would be considered as obtaining a major merit!
At this moment, someone shouted out loud. Qin Wentian was wearing the puppeted armor and using God’s Hand. It was evident he would be recognized easily. In fact, Qin Wentian was already prepared for this when he decided to do so earlier.

Qin Wentian?
In the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, many experts were familiar with this name. Many years ago, in the hundred-year recruitment banquet of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian was precisely the person who tarnished it. That was also the first time the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord appeared and that battle became a symbol of division for the thirteen prefectures. Hence, many people knew of this name Qin Wentian. The core and elite disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were also undoubtedly familiar with him.

Tianwen is Qin Wentian?
Many from the Thousand Transformations Army also knew his name. Although Qin Wentian wasn’t a famous immortal king, he can still be considered having some accomplishments and had done many major things before. Hence, there were still many who knew who Qin Wentian was. If he became an immortal king in the future, the number of people who know about him would only increase. Even for people outside the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, they would also be acquainted with him.
Qin Wentian’s eyes swept over and discovered who was the one who spoke. It was none other than that expert who abducted Luo Huan and Qin Yao back then. His silhouette flickered, dashing across space, arriving before his target. That expert hurriedly fled but Qin Wentian blasted out a palm imprint gigantic enough to cover a large swath of land as he roared in rage. That person only felt his vision turning dark as his body trembled unceasingly. A moment later, the gigantic palm smashed into him, shattering his immortal foundation and crushing his life away.
Qin Wentian long wanted to pay back this debt of revenge and has always been searching for an opportunity. Now, this man actually sent himself up to be slaughtered. How fortunate was this.

KILL!
Qin Wentian inclined his head and roared, his voice boomed out shaking this entire space. He led the charge, continuing to hunt down enemies and given his current size, every step he took had the potential to crush someone to death, and every palm imprint he blasted out, could exterminate the lives of numerous experts in a group, opening up a path. Right now, since there were no immortal kings supervising the battles, many of the Eastern Sage Army decided to flee from the battlefield. After all, a large number of them were recruited from the prefectures and weren’t disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Right now, they no longer wanted to fight. There was too much danger of them losing their lives.
In the battlefield, the scenario of people fleeing for their lives appeared. Such fear and panic wasn’t caused simply by strength alone but rather, was the collapse of a human’s heart. Although Qin Wentian and his group were strong, using a grand battle to astound and stir the spirits of everyone, it didn’t change the fact that the Thousand Transformations Army was still inferior in terms of numbers. If the immortal king of the Eastern Sage Army was directing the battle, they might still have a chance to reverse the situation. Sadly, there were just too many changes on the battlefield and the moment some factors appeared, victory or defeat would have already been determined. Most probably, the immortal king military governor of the Eastern Sage Army didn’t expect that his army would be defeated so quickly after he left to fight.
This time, those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect didn’t choose to retreat. The situation was completely in their favor, how could they not hunt down their enemies as they flee? In any case, the objective this time was to exterminate the Eastern Sage Army.
The experts from the Eastern Sage Army fled even faster upon encountering the frenzied hunting down by the Thousand Transformations Army. Those disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect instantly flew quickly towards the horizons, they too, didn’t want to get embroiled in the battlefield.
However, Qin Wentian halted after hunting for a period of time. He and those from the Battle Saint Tribe returned to their original sizes and stared at the remnants of the Eastern Sage Army fleeing faraway. He then commanded,
We will retreat.

As the sound of his voice faded, he didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to leave. He has led the Thousand Transformations Army to a grand victory but now since his identity was exposed, it was about time for him to leave this battlefield!
