The heavenly people's legion that had already charged through the barrier were all trapped within the arrays at this moment. The speed at which the arrays were activated was unbelievably quick, leaving them no time to prepare for any kind of defense. Even top-tier cultivators like Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi couldn't react in time; they found themselves trapped.
And not just trapped—these arrays were too fierce, too cruel, too terrifying!
They seemed to be caught in a room, surrounded by blazing fire on all sides. The thought of escaping from here was an impossible fantasy. If left to await death, these top-tier heavenly cultivators were certainly not going to accept it.
Thus, realizing it was an array, this group of terrifyingly powerful heavenly cultivators began to frantically attempt to break free. They wanted to charge out of this array!
Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi were filled with rage, unable to even voice their complaints. Who could they complain to? Shen Xi? Weren't the plans made by the four commanders together?
If blame was to be placed, it could only fall on Chu Mo for being too cunning!
He actually employed strategy?
In this battle of ultimate power, he dared to use strategy to fight?
If this was spread, the entire Four Great Heavens would surely be in an uproar.
Because among the heavenly people, there is a popular saying: "In the face of absolute strength, all plots and schemes are meaningless. No matter how clever your plans, I possess certain regulations." These regulations are absolute power!
No matter your arrangements, no matter your calculations? I only need to use absolute power to charge through, break apart all your plots and schemes, and that will suffice!
But today, here, they were ruthlessly calculated against by Chu Mo using strategy.
In terms of strength, the world of Pangu was like a newborn baby, while the side of the Four Great Heavens were already matured adults in their prime!
Four strong men, dealing with a newborn baby, is there any suspense?
If such a scenario still holds suspense, then perhaps the word "crush" no longer exists in the world.
Before their departure, the words on everyone's mind were: crush, sweep, suppress...
Only such words could describe their feelings about this war. Hardly anyone took this war seriously, genuinely paying attention.
Then, the first legion of Infinite Heavenly Army arrived here, led by Patriarch Lan Guang, charging aggressively. They were nearly defeated single-handedly by Chu Mo, left in chaos, the legion in disarray. Although the casualties were not particularly severe, their reputation had been completely tarnished back home.
The ruler of this newborn world gave them a resounding slap with absolute strength!
Then, subsequent events felt like a series of slaps one after another.
Each slap left them with a heart-wrenching pain. Truly an unbearable sensation.
By now, this wasn't merely a matter of a slap. It was real calculation!
They were all trapped in this pitfall, unable to escape.
When the arrays operated, the fury, resentment, and power of one entire Heavenly Realm were enough to easily destroy those with weak wills.
They had come to eradicate this newborn world, a world that was living, that was alive. In the face of their malice, this world had a primal form of rejection. Now, such rejection was being utilized to perfection by Chu Mo.
At the scene, several hundred cultivators of ancestral realm from the Four Great Heavens were directly crushed by immense power.
The array was like a giant millstone, spanning across the cosmic void.
This group of heavenly cultivators from the Four Major Legions was akin to beans placed into the millstone, to be ground down mercilessly.
Pure spiritual bodies were equally ineffective before this array.
Throughout the array, there were waves of mournful cries.
Just as Chu Mo had calculated, these beings of the Four Great Heavens hadn't experienced a true war in many years. Within the Four Great Heavens, there was indeed a peaceful atmosphere. Even occasional conflicts were extremely small in scale.
There was no chance for these top-tier masters to participate in genuine combat.
Among the Four Great Heavens, they maintained independence, could communicate with each other, yet still without any warfare occurring.
This has led the elite cultivators, like soldiers in the Four Great Heavens, to keep their prestigious titles, to regularly enhance and train in related areas, but none of the heavenly cultivators sees warfare as their primary occupation. No heavenly person regards themselves as a soldier.
In their view, the Pangu world is merely a newborn Great Heavenly Realm. Before it matures, before it contains many masters, as long as they crush through with overwhelming power, it would be sufficient!
They all acted carelessly!
Including the Four Great Heavens!
They have underestimated the Human Clan quite a bit.
Therefore, this setback might be somewhat hard for them to accept, feeling that such a thing shouldn't have happened.
However, if viewed from the perspective of a clear-minded observer, one would find that this setback... is simply inevitable. There's no way to escape it.
Chu Mo and his group all appeared at this moment. They stood at the edge of the arrays, watching this enormous array in rapid operation, furiously crushing the Heavenly People cultivators from the Four Great Heavens.
Everyone's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of delight. No matter what happens later, at least for now, they succeeded!
They successfully trapped the Four Major Legions here, and soon, under the operation of the array, casualties began to appear among these Heavenly People legions. Especially these casualties... were far greater than they imagined! The performance of the Heavenly People was far worse than they expected!
The Demon Lord said solemnly, "It seems their casualties will be larger than we imagined." As he spoke, the Demon Lord glanced at Chu Hui beside him.
Chu Hui said, "If Heavenly People cultivators can't quickly regroup under these circumstances and continue to rush around like headless chickens... their casualties will be terrifying numbers. At the very least, the estimates are between five thousand and eight thousand, conservatively. It could even reach eight thousand to ten thousand dead! As for the severely injured, it might even reach twenty thousand!"
Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath, their eyes sparkling with joyous light.
If truly... the combined casualties of these Heavenly People legions could reach around thirty thousand, then subsequently, even if the array stops, and the survivors escape, their side absolutely has a chance to engage them in a life-and-death battle!
"Come, now let's set up the second and third arrays!" Chu Mo calmly instructed.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
At this time, Chu Hui reminded, "Brother, if we continue to set up two more arrays, the resources our entire Pangu world can mobilize will directly use over ninety percent. That's too dangerous. Without resources, what will we do in the future?"
Chu Mo glanced at her, intellect still being intellect, remaining calm at all times. But it is precisely because of this calmness that, no matter how much she resembles a real human, ultimately, she is only a rune lifeform.
Chu Mo thought to himself and said blandly, "If we can't keep them all here, then we won't have a future."
Chu Hui's gaze somewhat dazedly looked at Chu Mo, her calculation ability was still fast. So, in the eyes of many, she merely paused for a moment before nodding, saying, "Alright, I'll go prepare the resources!"
The system set up by intellect in the entire Pangu world can instantly transmit Chu Mo's commands anywhere.
The Demon Lord looked at Chu Mo, he naturally understood his disciple's thoughts. However, doing this really amounts to gambling the future of the entire Pangu world. But he also understood, Chu Mo and this group of people actually had no retreat.
At this moment, Chu Lao appeared beside Chu Mo and said solemnly, "They just broke out from an array, will they fall for it a second time?"
"They will." Chu Mo said, "We'll set up arrays next to this one. When this array is finally broken by them, as soon as they step forward, they'll be trapped in a second array."
"And the third array?" Chu Lao looked at Chu Mo.
The others also looked at Chu Mo.
There's a retry for everything, but where's the third and fourth retry? If the third array can still work, then they really need to question the intelligence of those Heavenly People.
Chu Mo laughed, "All's fair in war."
All's fair in war?
Everyone's minds echoed these four words, and then they frowned.
Chu Mo did not elaborate further, as some things are simply understood. If not, even if he explained thoroughly, deeply and clearly, the others still wouldn't understand.
The third array, in Chu Mo's heart, is not meant for killing.
Rather, it's meant to... serve as a cage, to trap people!
After witnessing the Heavenly People cultivators being so pathetic, Chu Mo changed his initial idea of fighting to the death. Because he found that there's no need for a final battle; he can trick these Heavenly People legions to death, to despair!
So, this war, Pangu world has consumed so many resources, must... someone come to settle the accounts?
Of course, they must.
