At the same time, a fierce shaking sound came from nearby as Feng Lingxiao picked up the Xuanyu Heavy Tower again and smashed it down. The dazzling purple-black light fell like a mountain crashing down.
“Stop!”
“Block him!”
Inside the city, figures streaked through the air, with Li Xiaoran leading the way.
The previous earth-shaking sound not only startled the entire city’s populace awake but also alarmed everyone in the Divine General Mansion. They brought out their Divine Souls and soared out to observe the activity outside Qingzhou City, only to see Li Muxiu engaged in fierce combat with Dragon Absolute God and the Palace Master of the Holy Palace attacking the Array.
With a buzzing sound, a knife glow bright as the Milky Way tore through the sky and violently shot toward Feng Lingxiao.
Feng Lingxiao’s eyes gleamed coldly; with just a slight sneer, the Dao Domain unfolded. Before the knife glow could touch him, it burnt away within the Dao Domain, while he continued to wield the Heavy Tower, pressing down with the Dao Domain’s oppressive force, heavily striking the Array.
The Array trembled violently, with Divine Patterns flickering ceaselessly, almost leaving afterimages.
This meant that the attacks it sustained were about to exceed the Divine Formation’s limit.
Swoosh!
Another figure in green shot forward, silently slashing out with a sword glow that pierced the Divine Formation and landed on the Heavy Tower. Under the burning of the Dao Domain, this sword glow showed no signs of weakening and shook the Heavy Tower, slightly delaying the attack.
Feng Lingxiao’s expression changed slightly as he glared darkly at the several figures flying towards him. The one who had struck was a woman.
This woman was none other than Ji Qingqing. Although she was in the Ultimate Study Realm, she had cultivated the Ji Family’s Cultivation Techniques and was even slightly stronger than the Imperial Family of the Dayu Divine Dynasty within the same realm.
When she was expelled from the Ji Family, although the people of the Ji Heavenly Dynasty were furious with her choice and felt both hatred and distaste for this niece, upon the tearful pleading of her father, Old Shisan’s Heroic Spirit, they still secretly gave Ji Qingqing many valuable items, including the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure she now wielded, the Taiyuan Sword.
The Saint Heart Essence within the sword contained rule powers that allowed Ji Qingqing’s attacks to be unaffected by other rules, making it an exceptionally rare and powerful treasure, enabling her to injure someone in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm while only in the Ultimate Study Realm!
Of course, if it had been a face-to-face confrontation in the wild, someone in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm just needed to catch her off guard and close in, enveloping her in the Dao Domain. Even this sword would not protect her, and she could be refined in an instant.
But now, protected by the Array, she could strike without fear.
“Damn it!”
Feng Lingxiao’s eyes blazed with anger as he once again channeled his power to drive the Xuanyu Heavy Tower to strike the Array.
Ji Qingqing also continuously struck out with her unparalleled swordsmanship, cutting down on the Heavy Tower and lessening its power. However, the might of the watershed of ten thousand Mysterious Heavy Divine Waters, condensed to the extreme, still caused the Divine Formation to deplete rapidly.
“Quick, block him!”
Li Tian Gang’s body soared as he tightly gripped an ancient bronze battle saber, the Saint Heart treasure of his ancestors. With his full power unleashed, the blade glow pierced through the Divine Formation to strike out.
However, the rule power brought by this battle saber differed from that of the Taiyuan Sword, failing to ignore Feng Lingxiao’s Dao Domain, and the blade glow quickly dissipated.
Li Tian Gang’s face looked grim. At the same time, he heard a distant bugle call from outside the city, sounding as if it came from the Ancient Times, followed by Qingzhou City’s walls starting to tremble slightly.
This trembling sensation was felt by all the city’s populace, with the ground beneath the houses slightly vibrating as if a cavalry of ten thousand horses was charging.
Outside the city at this moment, the encircling Demons, far more than ten thousand, were an elite force of several million who had fought their way here.
At the sound of the long bugle call, they all sprinted forward in unison.
The change in Li Tian Gang’s expression indicated the Demons could no longer hold back, planning to launch an all-out attack.
“Quick! Prepare for battle, vanguard troops to the city walls!”
Upon realizing he was ineffective against Feng Lingxiao and unable to stay there, Li Tian Gang rushed towards the battlements. He quickly sent out his voice, calling his subordinates and ordering them to form a defensive military formation.
Atop the walls, the soldiers who had been on standby now, with the approaching Demon Tide, launched a torrent of symbol-fired arrows from the arrow towers and bastions.
Millions of arrows whistled and blurred into a dark mass, raining down upon the Demon Tide.
Among the Demon Tide bravely surged imposing figures, revealing their giant Demon forms, blocking some of the ranged attacks from the city guards while wielding Divine Weapons, hammering them against the city’s outer Array.
These were the Demon King Elders of the two major forces, all of them now making their presence known, adding up to more than a dozen.
Each Demon King was in the Four Stands Realm, with many Great Demon Kings of the Ultimate Study Realm enduring, their attacks so fierce that the Divine Patterns on the Array fluttered like butterflies in disarray.
Seeing this, Li Tian Gang felt his blood run cold. Although he knew there was a huge disparity in the top forces of both sides, he had not expected it to be this great.
Looking at the teetering Divine Formation, his eyes suddenly reddened. He clenched his teeth and roared, “Quick, activate the Divine Formation’s Life Wheel!”
The Divine Formation of Qingzhou City was one of the top ten Divine Formations in the world, named the Sunlight Life Wheel Formation.
This Formation not only sealed the powerful Demon Essence within the Divine Formation to battle but, more importantly, it could absorb the essence of the sun and moon to repair itself.
Furthermore, the power of its Life Wheel could temporarily draw upon a portion of the lifespan of all living beings within the Formation, converting it into the might of the Divine Formation.
This Formation no longer belonged to a level that could be easily destroyed by an ordinary Four Stands Realm, as it contained the essence of a great Dao.
Following Li Tian Gang’s command, the Divine Formation reversed, the Life Wheel’s power activated, and countless threads of golden life essence seemed to float from numerous buildings within the city. They flowed into the Divine Formation, including Li Tian Gang and the others, along with all the soldiers within the city.
