Wang Chong showed no hesitation, having predicted all this. Taking advantage of Khatabah’s moment of distraction, Wang Chong accessed the Stone of Destiny and opened the ‘Power’ category in the list of rewards.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, upon which countless lines began to converge and intertwine, swiftly forming a miniature model of the northwest in his mind.

The rolling landscape, the nearby Tibetan Plateau, the western Turkic steppe to the northwest, the Moheyan Desert to the north, the City of Steel to the south, the armies clashing on the ground, and the thick clouds overhead were all replicated in startling detail.

Through this miniature model, Wang Chong could even see the spiritual energy of the world traveling along the paths of the Nine Heavens Phenomena Formation set down by the Formation Elder.

The Nine Heavens Phenomena Formation was an ancient weather formation, but Wang Chong’s intention was never to just create a localized storm. The weather phenomenon that had manifested was simply a lure. Not even the Formation Elder knew what Wang Chong really wanted.

The conditions are right! I can begin!

Time was short. For the first time since Khorasan, Wang Chong used the ‘Power’ category of the Stone of Destiny, accessing the ‘weather’ ability.

“User confirms creating a storm?”

The Stone of Destiny’s emotionless voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.

“Confirm!” Wang Chong immediately said.

“User wishes to create a Class 20 storm. This level of weather phenomenon can only be created once certain conditions are fulfilled. Assessment beginning… Assessment complete. Conditions met!

“The storm user wishes to create is a top-level weather phenomenon and requires an expenditure of 100,000 points of Destiny Energy. Moreover, user has extremely high demands, requesting far too large of an area, massively increasing the cost. This task requires 350,000 points of Destiny Energy! In addition, after fifteen minutes, additional Destiny Energy will be consumed until user runs out of Destiny Energy or stops the storm.

“Does user confirm spending 350,000 points of Destiny Energy?” The Stone of Destiny spoke once more, and this time, Wang Chong could see the massive Ifrit and its black flames. Khatabah had already come back to his senses, and his eyes were looking over and exerting a massive pressure on Wang Chong.

Wang Chong felt like his body was almost groaning under the pressure.

“Confirm!” Wang Chong immediately said.

For the current Wang Chong, 350,000 points of Destiny Energy was completely within his tolerance level, but the Class 20 storm he was getting in return would only last for fifteen minutes, and any longer than that would rapidly consume his Destiny Energy. This was certain to be no small number.

But Wang Chong could not worry about such things. Even if he consumed all the Destiny Energy he had, it was all worth it if he could defeat Khatabah and the Arab army.

Boom!

The moment Wang Chong spoke, the lightning in the sky suddenly multiplied by more than a hundred times, the bolts of lightning seemingly endless and possessing so much power that even a Profound Martial realm general would feel uneasy.

Hwoooo! A massive high-pressure vortex suddenly appeared in the north, from the direction of the Moheyan Desert.

The Nine Heavens Phenomena Formation had already created a massive vortex in the north, and after Wang Chong paid the three hundred and fifty thousand points of Destiny Energy to activate the Stone of Destiny’s ‘Weather’ ability, the vortex instantly grew several times larger, engulfing more than half the Moheyan Desert and rapidly developing into a storm that the northwest had never before experienced.

Whoosh!

Turbulent winds surged out of the north, stirring up all the dust and loose rocks on the ground and blotting out the skies of the north.

In the middle of the fierce winds, the Arab horsemen could feel numerous tiny objects pinging against their armor like raindrops.

An Arab general snatched out and saw that he had grabbed a fistful of sand.

“This is sand from the Moheyan Desert!”

The Arab general was taken aback. The battlefield was located quite a distance from this desert, and sand should not normally have been blown this far. This strange phenomenon made him extremely uneasy.

Rumble!

Fears and worries quickly turned into reality, and in the far north, piercing howls like the wails of ghosts began to rise.

The earth began to shake, and then a terrifying yellow storm engulfed the world, surging toward the battlefield with unimaginable speed.

“Not good! Sandstorm!” an Arab Governor immediately bellowed amidst the ranks of the Arab soldiers, but there was no need for his warning. That destructive wall of sand had already swallowed up the horizon.

There were deserts in the Arabian Empire as well, and sandstorms were not rare. After all, a creature like the camel was specifically evolved to deal with desert environments. But even the most experienced Arab felt a deep dread when they saw this sandstorm.

Sandstorms took place in the Arabian Empire, but not on this level. Even the most terrifying sandstorm of the west was nothing compared to this.

“Get off your horses!”

“Careful!”

“Search for cover!”

The Arab generals began to call out warnings, but they had all underestimated the power of the sandstorm. A few seconds later, vast quantities of sand flooded the northwest like a giant wave, drowning the entire Arab army.

Neigh!

Horses shrieked and people cried out in alarm as yellow sand pelted their armor, and in the blink of an eye, the entire army had fallen into disarray.

The curtain of sand was so thick that it was hard to make out the comrades at their sides, let alone for officers to communicate with their soldiers.

Adnan, Abu Muslim, Lucis, and the other Arab commanders paled. The officers roared and bellowed as they tried to gather their soldiers, but the moment they opened their mouths, sand would pour in, and their muffled words would quickly be scattered by the wind.

And most terrifying of all was the intensifying winds! “Aaah!” Arab horsemen on the northern end of the battlefield screamed in despair as they were lifted into the air like leaves.

They tried to unleash their Stellar Energy, but their resistance was futile in front of the winds.

Bang! An Arab horseman dropped from the sky and crashed to the ground, turning into a mangled pile of flesh.

“What’s going on here?!”

The terrifying sandstorm instantly scattered the vast Arab army, and no one was more shocked at this moment than Khatabah.

Khatabah had never expected that his entire army would be brought so quickly to the verge of collapse.

Moreover, even Khatabah’s Black Flame Ifrit was being affected by the intense winds, its flames significantly weakening.

Although the effects were still not too severe, this was not a good sign.

“You again?”

Khatabah suddenly turned to Wang Chong. Although the fierce storm of yellow sand and powerful winds had cast a thick curtain across the ground, Khatabah’s Psychic Energy could still easily sense Wang Chong’s position.

Even though he didn’t know the exact reason for this fierce sandstorm, everything had happened after he had finished his fusion. He was sure that it had to do with Wang Chong.

“I’ll kill you first and see if this sandstorm disappears!”

Khatabah’s killing intent erupted, and he suddenly opened his hand and unleashed an astonishing wave of black flames and lava at Wang Chong.

Boom!

In the middle of the wave, the black flames condensed into a spear.

A split-second after Khatabah had raised his hand, this massive black spear was right in front of Wang Chong’s face.

This was a consequence of Khatabah’s fusion with the Ifrit. The Ifrit only acted on instinct, but Khatabah could utilize every bit of the Ifrit’s power to the maximum, making it even more difficult to deal with.

But Khatabah was underestimating Wang Chong’s power!

Thwish!

After activating the Stone of Destiny’s ability, Wang Chong had seemingly predicted Khatabah’s response and barely dodged Khatabah’s sudden attack.

“Lord Junior Guardian, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Li Siye, come with me to deal with Khatabah!

“Abusi, finish up with the enemy in the northwest and join with us!”

Wang Chong’s body rumbled with Stellar Energy as he flew backward several thousand feet, rapidly making distance between him and the Black Flame Ifrit.

At the same time, Wang Chong raised his head and let out a sharp whistle.

This whistle cut through the air like a sharp arrow, and not even the noise of the sandstorm could suppress it.
