Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1324 - 1321: Unable to Hold the Line?

When Yang Fei and the others returned to White Jade City with their spirit ship, the people left guarding the city looked grim and were prepared for battle.

Although the demon beast army was still an hour or two away, within the Gathering Spirit Array of White Jade City, the people had already sensed slight tremors in the ground an hour ago for some unknown reason.

When the tremors first started, everyone thought it might be an earthquake somewhere, but soon, they intensified and got closer. It dawned on everyone that the demon beasts, sealed in Penglai Immortal Mountain, had been released and were speculated to be marching towards White Jade City.

With Yang Fei and more than a dozen top fighters of Earth gone, those remaining in White Jade City included almost thirty Foundation Establishment experts and dozens of spiritual puppets and puppet beasts Yang Fei had left behind. With the Mountain Protection Array, the defense seemed impregnable, yet everyone knew from past encounters that the demon beasts were formidable.

Especially now, with an endless army of demon beasts approaching, no one had the confidence to withstand them.

However, White Jade City is the foundation for Earth cultivators. Fleeing might lead to future demon beast attacks, so it’s better to stand firm here. Thus, while everyone looked serious, no one backed down.

When Yang Fei and others returned with their damaged spirit ship, the people of White Jade City were both happy and surprised.

Tong Yunshu rushed out of the array to meet them and asked, "What happened to you, and why is the spirit ship so damaged?"

Zhuge Cang, Huang Chengcheng, Ouyang He, and Qin Huai’an also came to meet them.

Yang Fei briefly explained the situation and said, "The demon beast army will arrive in at most two hours. Quickly use the time to repair the Mountain Protection Array."

When they heard that Yang Fei and the others had nearly wiped out so many Foundation Establishment experts from the Southern Domain and even fought the demon beast army head-on, the people of White Jade City were shocked.

What kind of powerful magic treasure could instantly kill dozens of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators?

And even confront the demon beast army directly?

However, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace had been put away by Yang Fei and wasn’t displayed to everyone.

More importantly, with the demon beast army approaching, the most crucial task was to resist its invasion.

"After you left, my master, Taoist Lu Chen, and I have repaired the Mountain Protection Array and almost restored it to its former state," Tong Yunshu said to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei scanned it with his divine sense, assessed the state of the array, and praised, "Well done."

Tong Yunshu smiled and said, "Why these courteous words? You did the hard work of eliminating the Southern Domain Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Huang Chengcheng chimed in, "Let’s not bother with formalities. Sun Xingyu, Wang Lei, and Umekawa Taro are seriously injured. Quickly take healing pills to recover your strength. The rest of you, who look exhausted, should also rest more."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Back inside the Mountain Protection Array, Yang Fei was full of energy and didn’t need rest. He intended to study the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Regarding the impending demon beast army invasion, Yang Fei felt that relying solely on White Jade City’s current defenses would be inadequate; the key lay in the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

He brought Qin Yanyang back to their room.

"What are they up to?" Huang Chengcheng frowned, "Being all mysterious at this time."

Qin Huai’an looked at Tong Yunshu, worried she would be upset, and said, "Perhaps they’re researching that Bronze Furnace magic treasure. It’s essential to resisting the demon beast army’s attack."

Having witnessed the power of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, Helian Zhan and others nodded silently.

He and the proud talent-type cultivators like Wang Chunyang no longer had much arrogance or temper in front of Yang Fei.

This kid’s cultivation talent is not only extraordinary; even his luck outshines theirs by a considerable margin.

It seemed all good things gravitated towards him.

This must be what Southern Domain cultivators refer to as destiny.

What qualifications do they have to secretly compete with someone so richly endowed with destiny?

Inside the room, Yang Fei set up a Small Barrier Array and then communicated with the artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Soon, the furnace exuded a vast blood vitality pressure, making Qin Yanyang feel suffocated.

Yang Fei said, "Don’t worry. Let it replenish your life essence first."

Previously, after Yang Fei used the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace to kill those dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Southern Domain, then helped track down the ones who escaped, Qin Yanyang and the others sensed Yang Fei’s blood vitality had become much more vigorous and powerful.

Upon hearing Yang Fei’s words, Qin Yanyang asked, "Your strength increase, is it because it helped enhance your life essence?"

Yang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, life essence is the foundation of a cultivator’s blood vitality. Thus, the more plentiful the life essence, the stronger the cultivator’s blood vitality and power."

As he spoke, he channeled his mana, and the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace connected with Qin Yanyang, continuously channeling abundant blood vitality into her body.

Qin Yanyang immediately felt her blood boiling, with the vigorous life essence pouring into her, making her feel almost euphoric.

However, in less than a few breaths, she began to feel like she was about to burst.

Just as she was about to speak, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace ceased its feedback of blood vitality and said to them, "Your Foundation Establishment cultivation is too weak, limiting your physical growth. You need to break through soon; otherwise, even with my help, your progress will be constrained."

Yang Fei said helplessly, "In terms of the Cultivation World’s realm advancements, my wife and I have only been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for less than twenty years, yet we’ve reached the peak stage. That’s already monstrously fast, isn’t it?"

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace praised, "Indeed, such speed is very fast. Your talent is commendable. Were it not for this, your life essence wouldn’t have completely awakened me."

Yang Fei experienced a surge of pride and questioned, "So you say, my wife’s and my life essence is somewhat special, allowing us to fully awaken you?"

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace replied, "Of course. That Wang Huanying fed me for over thirty years, offering life essence far more than what you both gave me. He also gathered numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance his blood vitality and hunted countless demon beasts with me, letting me devour much of their blood. But that doesn’t compare to the contribution of your life essence. After all, Wang Huanying’s potential was too mediocre, his bloodline too ordinary."

Yang Fei was amazed, "Are you saying a cultivator’s bloodline has varying levels?"

"Of course, cultivation talent varies in strength, and so does the bloodline foundation. A cultivator requires high levels of both spirit root talent and bloodline to truly be a genius. You both measure up, on par with my former master, Taoist Wuji," the furnace explained.

Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased.

Qin Yanyang sensed a significant increase in her own strength, leaving her astonished yet delighted, but she quickly regained her composure and said to Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, let’s not discuss this now. Can we fend off the impending demon beast army?"

Yang Fei gazed toward the world outside.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace sighed, "With me here, I can certainly ensure your safety. However, given your current capabilities and my present state of recovery, it would be difficult to fully deter the demon beast army and protect this domain from invasion."
