Gu Shang continued to look at the Great Ancestral Formation in awe,
He had never witnessed such a powerful formation in his life before, it seemed to be drawing infinite amount of spiritual qi from the heavens, and from what he was seeing, this formation wasn't under anybody's control.
A frown couldn't help but form on Gu Shang's face, this was going to be a bit difficult.
In this world, formations were one of the rarerest treasure anyone could ever posses because they were formed by the heavens themselves, they were purely heavenly treasures.
But throughout the eons, the inhabitants of this world have learnt to replicate this heavenly phenomenons into weapons for both attack, teleportation and defense.
Though the treasures replicated from this heavenly Formations weren't as powerful as the original, they still contained more than thirty percent of the original.
The strange thing about the Great Ancestral Formation was that even though it was a heavenly Formations, it seemed to be have been tempered by humans, this was completely shocking to Gu Shang.
From the knowledge he had, humans didn't have the ability to actually manipulate heavenly Formations, but here he was looking at a heavenly formation manipulated by humans or so he thought.
This formation had too much power to be just a defensive formation, Gu Shang thought to himself.
"How long would it take to fire those cannons again?" Gu Shang asked.
"General, we'll be able to fire in two rotations time!" The commander replied.
Gu Shang shook his head, he wasn't going to wait for that long, besides he wasn't sure whether shooting again would be of any help.
He didn't want to also risk the lives of his men, he had a very bad feeling about this formation.
"Commander draw the ship a hundred meters away from the city walls!" After giving the command Gu Shang leaped into the sky and shot out towards the walls of the city.
[Ten Thousand Illusion Golden Body] Gu Shang shouted as he stretched his right hand foward, Gu Shang body split in two, the man that spilt out of Gu Shang had a complete body but a faceless face, he wore a golden cloth around his body,
The moment he came out, that body also split into two and just like that the air space around the capital walls became filled with more than 10 thousand faceless men in Golden cloth.
Gu Shang stood behind the ten thousand faceless men with a proud expression [Ten Thousand Illusion Golden Body] like the name suggested allowed him to create ten thousand illusions of his choice, this technique was initially supposed to be harmless and was only an Illusionary skill, but completely mastering this skill allowed the illusions to possess one percent of the casters power,
But only an insanely powerful cultivator with an insanely powerful Spiritual Root could accomplish this.
Gu Shang actually stole this technique six years ago, when he infiltrated a bandit hideout to gather information.
The technique pique his interest because at that time they were in a period of war fighting as the weaker side, as a commander this technique could help them decieve the enemy and buy a lot of time, so he began to practice it dilligently,
The more he practiced, the more he found out how powerful it could be if altered just a little bit, and through trials and failure, he had come up with a way to integrate one percent of his strength into ten thousand illusory figures.
The illusory figures covered the clouds of Ancestral Capital like a golden storm as they stretched their fist, aiming to punch their way into the formation.
The people within the formation couldn't help but suffocate at the pressure waving down on them.
It felt like the gravity around them had multiplyed by more than twenty times.
It should be noted the a single attack from this illusory figures could kill Supreme Sovereigns and even injured Quasi Immortal Kings, this attack was ten thousand percent of Gu Shang power.
Just as the illusory faceless figures entered a ten meters range from the barrier, the crystals within the walls started brightening up again,
This brought a huge frown on Gu Shang's face, "This formation doesn't seem like it would quietly sit and absorb attacks!" Gu Shang said in a serious tone.
Just as he predicted, when the illusory figures were five meters within range, the glowing crystals within the wall shot out blades made of Qi from the walls to all directions at speed faster than the naked eyes, upon crashing with the illusory figures, small large nuclear explosions were heard, each Qi blade actually had the power to take out an illusory figure which had one percent of Gu Shang's power,
This was unbelievable.
It should be noted that those illusory figures at one percent power could take out Supreme Sovereigns experts, so did that mean the blade made out of Qi could also do that or more...
Gu Shang didn't have time to think about this, as more than a thousand Qi blade were headed his direction.
He immediately took a step back and appeared a hundred meters away from the walls, right next to his ship.
He couldn't help but frown, he had actually been forced to take a step back, no it was more than a step back, those Qi blades could actually seriously injurere even an Immortal Kings,
Gu Shang watched from the distance as his illusory men were tore into pieces turning into smoke,
After the first hail of attack, the crystals within the walls withered and got scattered in the wind, but new crystals appeared within the walls again, surprising Gu Shang.
The crystal were the core of those Qi blades
"What in heavens name was happening here? How could such a powerful formation be lying here in secret for? Besides how did the Wei empire even get control of such a powerful treasure?" Gu Shang was going insane with all these unanswered questions in his head.
Commander Yue couldn't help but sweat coldly, if they were within firing range of those crystals, they would have been on their way to the underworld.
The thought of this couldn't help but cause him to shudder in fear, they were just moment away from their death.
Gu Shang went into deep thought, he could see his men had lost morale, he had to find a way to break this barrier.
He took in a deep breath and executed[Ten Thousand Illusion Golden Body] again, but the outcome was still the same, This time a smile was plastered on his face,
He had found a breakthrough.
