"Alright. You win. Take the 2 million you want." Ashen said slightly indignantly.

[Ding! Thank you, Host, for believing in the system.

[Deducting 2 million Villain Points.]

[Host, please specify whether you want a lethal formation or a formation to subdue without harm.]

"Subdue without harm." Ashen answered clearly.

Since killing prefecture lords wasn't allowed in the Conqueror's Battlefield, subduing was the best option.

Moreover, if Ashen killed their spirit beasts, it would only reduce the strength of the Zhuji tribe, which he wanted to make use of.

They were all his future subordinates; he didn't want them to become any weaker.

[Ding! Host, creating the requested formation. Please have patience...]

Ashen again sat down on the bed, waiting for the next message, and it was only after five or so minutes that another message flashed in the air.

[Ding! Finished the level-6 formation—five-point dark despair!

"Huh? Level 6?" Ashen's pupils contracted in surprise. He expected a level-5 formation; however, level 6 was a huge gain.

Now he felt better since losing the 2 million VP. The points now felt well spent.

At the next second, information began flooding into his mind about the particular formation.

From its functions to its design, Ashen knew everything now.

Moreover, it was simple in design.

There were five types of qi stones used in this formation—spatial qi stone, fire qi stone, water qi stone, dark qi stone, and gravitational qi stone.

Each type was placed in a unique design at five equidistant points.

Fire, water, dark, and gravitation qi stones were placed at four equidistant points, forming a rhombus shape.

The area covered by this rhombus was the area in which the formation functioned. It couldn't affect anyone outside of this rhombus.

The spatial qi stone was placed in the exact center of this rhombus, meaning if diagonals were made, the point of their intersection would be the point where the spatial qi stone needed to be placed.

Next, the design needed to be formed by each type of qi stone at each point.

For example, the dark qi stones needed to be designed in a complex design that resembled a foreign language.

These designs were required to make the formation balanced and stable. The flow of qi needed to be smooth for the formation to work properly.

Only Ashen knew how to make these designs due to knowledge just injected into his brain by the system.

However, here comes in his unique Beast Sovereign skill.

With this skill he could control his enslaved beasts like his limbs; moreover, there was another function of this skill that Ashen found out a few days ago after experimenting with the skill.

He could see through the eyes of his enslaved beasts if he focused his mind with closed eyes.

With this, Ashen could control his spirit beasts to make these designs.

Alright, it seems everything is coming into place, but the problem is the center point of the formation.

How will I place the spatial qi stones in the center of the formation when there will be enemies present?

This was a huge problem because taking control of the center of the battlefield wasn't an easy task.

It was then that an idea flashed in his mind.

Yes. That's it.

I can use Du Ya, the Venom Fang Tiger King, and his army to use poison fog and acid attacks to make the enemies avoid the center.

With that, I can control the Venom Fang Tigers to place the spatial qi stones in the center.

Then, Ashen moved on to the next problem.

But what about the huge amount of qi stones required?

There was a huge amount of qi stones required to provide enough qi of each type to the formation to function properly.

One qi stone contained a limited amount of qi, and with the huge amount of qi this level-6 formation consumed, it wasn't easy to carry this huge amount of qi stones.

I should go right now and buy the required amount of qi stones.

I should be able to acquire them in time if I place an order now.

The amount he needed will need to be ordered, and it would take at least a day or two to deliver it.

This was the reason why Ashen was only able to return to Fanrong's camp just before an hour. He was busy acquiring qi stones.

On the Conqueror's Battlefield, in Fanrong's camp,

"Listen to me, everyone. I will now be telling you our plan to victory..."

Ashen explained his plan to each and every one present.

Moreover, upon seeing that Cheng Tao commanded an army of Moles, Ashen was able to modify his plan to use moles to dig to the center of the battlefield and place qi stones.

He even enslaved some of the weaker moles of Cheng Tao's army to use them to design the spatial qi stones.

He sent Hao Anye, the Nighthowl tiger king, to reach the back of the army to place the Dark qi stones.

This was the reason why Hao Anye and his army rushed towards Huan Shou and his army.

This was the reason why they simply used Shadow Assimilation to go behind the army.

Huan Shou, instead, thought of this as a tactic to divide his army.

The Dark Qi stones were carried by Hao Anye and his Night Howl Tigers in their mouths. They each carried an average of more than ten dark qi stones in their mouth, making their total over nine thousand.

Similarly, Ashen used Gang Zhao to carry gravitational qi stones to the right point and Moyun to carry fire qi stones to the left point.

Hu Shui and her army placed water qi stones at the same point where their army was stationed.

Once the formation was complete, Ashen simply used water qi and fire qi together to create a fog of vapors.

Since fire qi turned the water into water vapor, it surrounded the enemy with fog.

Secondly, when the army tried to escape to the sky, He made use of the spatial qi.

Spatial qi stormed around Huan Shou's army, increasing the space around them. This qi even separated each and every one to such a distance that they couldn't even hear each other's sound.

The Darkness Qi from the dark qi stones enveloped them into darkness. It was because of the qi that they couldn't even see each other.

And it was the Gravitational Qi stones' gravitational qi that held all these qi in one place where Ashen wanted them. It was because of gravitational qi that all the qi present in the formation turned into a spherical shape, giving rise to the huge sphere of darkness in front of them.

The gravitational qi didn't affect the people inside the sphere and only held the qi together; however, it cancelled the gravitational force that would be normally applied to the body, making the cultivators inside float in endless space.

Moreover, since cultivators had a sturdy body, they wouldn't be affected by the absence of gravitational force.
