Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1330 - 1327: The Formation Cannot Be Sustained

Chapter 1330: Chapter 1327: The Formation Cannot Be Sustained

The attack on the White Jade City by the demon beast horde wasn’t much different from the situation when two armies clashed in the era of cold weapons.

These demon beasts, suppressed and sealed for millennia, suddenly gained freedom and sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth aiding in the restoration of their powerful realm forces. Naturally, they wanted to find a place with the densest spiritual aura to rest and recuperate.

Therefore, there was actually no need for the cultivators of the Southern Domain to drive them away. Once these demon beasts were freed from the seal of the Penglai Realm, they all rushed straight toward the White Jade City, guided by the density of the spiritual aura.

The Four Spirits Blood Array of the White Jade City had a tremendous deterrent effect on the demon beast horde, yet dozens of demon beast kings were unwilling to back down. They believed that with their greater numbers, they could break through this defensive barrier, devour these human cultivators, and occupy this cultivation holy land with the densest spiritual aura.

Unfortunately, these demon beast kings somewhat overestimated their current strength.

Though the Four Spirits Blood Array wasn’t very powerful, with the added dual forces of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace and a section of Ancient Jianmu, its power was sufficient to withstand multiple full-strength attacks by a middle-stage Nascent Soul expert.

Moreover, due to the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s terrifying ability to devour the blood and life mechanisms of all beings, the array’s suppressive power was exceedingly terrifying when unleashed.

The two demon beast kings at the forefront indeed regained their strength quickly, but at most, they equaled early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Faced with the devouring power of the Four Spirits Blood Array, they were reduced to nothing on the spot, with their beast blood and the abundant life force accumulated over the years by Run Yang completely consumed.

As these two demon beast kings were instantly suppressed, the remaining thirty or so demon beast kings were frightened and stopped in their tracks, frantically retreating down the mountain.

As for the massive demon beast horde behind them, the majority were intimidated by the terrifying blood and spiritual aura pressure emanating from the Four Spirits Blood Array, far from the foot of the mountain, and were terrified.

Earlier, dozens of demon beast kings led the charge, propelling the horde with an invincible momentum, which gave the weaker beasts the courage to charge as well.

But now, with the demon beast kings intimidated, especially after the instant suppression of two powerful ones, the beasts realized this array set by human cultivators wasn’t something they could challenge at present.

Thus, the entire beast tide army dispersed in a panic, with the rear beasts fleeing, while those in the middle and on the sides rushed toward both sides of the mid-mountain of White Jade City.

The massive beast horde directly avoided the core area covered by the Four Spirits Blood Array of White Jade City and scattered in all directions.

Upon seeing the beast horde begin to scatter without fully clashing with the array, everyone at White Jade City finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting out deep breaths.

It had been extremely dangerous just now.

Even though the beasts hadn’t yet reached the core area or dealt a terrifying blow to the Four Spirits Blood Array, the overwhelming momentum of the beast tide army approaching was indeed frightening.

Most people hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even cultivators like Yang Fei at the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment had no choice but to flee in the face of such a beast tide.

"Truly, these are weak beasts, having lost the fierce and violent nature of ancient demon beasts, to scatter just like that."

After the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace completely absorbed the blood and life essence of those two demon beast kings, it mockingly remarked with disappointment.

Yang Fei said speechlessly, "Isn’t this a good thing? If all these beasts had charged, with their eyes turned red from killing, we wouldn’t have been able to resist."

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace replied, "We could have resisted. These beasts have been sealed too long, their bloodthirstiness far inferior to the great demons of ancient times. Even if they charged just now, as long as I suppressed enough of them, they would scatter and flee."

Yang Fei said, "That wouldn’t be of much significance to us, just more killing."

"How can it be insignificant? The blood of these beasts contains a large amount of life essence which is very effective for my restoration," replied the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Yang Fei remained silent.

This Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was too wicked, only thinking of causing slaughter to restore its strength. Keeping it by my side, I have to be cautious in its use.

"Is it really defended this easily?" Qin Yanyang was surprised and delighted to see the beast tide scattering, not daring to linger even halfway up the main peak of White Jade City.

Yang Fei replied, "It’s defended."

The rest were equally surprised and delighted.

Expecting a grueling, dangerous battle, many had even prepared to die in the mouths of beasts, but the beast tide came quickly and retreated even faster, with the danger passing just like that.

"I can only say it’s temporarily passed." Helian Zhan said solemnly, "Look, although these beasts are scattered, once they get far enough, they seem to regain their ferocity, looking back, clearly unwilling to give up this place."

"Indeed, these beasts have high intelligence. Although they were previously defeated and intimidated, that was only because the power of the Four Spirits Blood Array scared them. But the spiritual aura concentration around White Jade City is also high, so they will likely remain in the surrounding mountains, essentially encircling our White Jade City," said Ouyang He sternly.

Everyone nodded.

You could see the scattered beasts densely distributed in the forest at the foot of the mountain, with constant roars and howls, causing unease and fear among the weaker ones.

Qin Huai’an asked, "Yang Fei, now that these beasts are likely to keep activity in the surrounding mountains, can this Four Spirits Blood Array be maintained indefinitely?"

Everyone looked at Yang Fei.

The Four Spirits Blood Array was crucial in intimidating the beast horde. If the array couldn’t be maintained indefinitely, the beast horde would certainly seize the opportunity to attack the main peak again.

Yang Fei realized the seriousness of the situation and communicated with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace: "The Four Spirits Blood Array can’t be maintained indefinitely, right?"

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace replied, "It’s definitely not possible to maintain its current power indefinitely because the four beasts used as the array foundation are too weak; their blood and life force will soon be exhausted."

Yang Fei’s heart sank, realizing the beast horde hadn’t completely dispersed and that White Jade City’s main peak would still be under threat of attack from the horde in the future.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said, "Unfortunately, I don’t have a better solution."

"Can’t the Four Spirits Blood Array maintain its power indefinitely?" Yang Fei asked.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace replied, "I can keep running it, and the Ancient Jianmu can also continuously replenish life energy for me, anchoring the Four Spirits Blood Array. But the strength of the four beasts is insufficient for an array of this power; they can last at most for two hours. So, if you want the Four Spirits Blood Array to keep running, you need to capture a sufficient number of beasts."

Yang Fei remained silent.

Back in the Penglai Realm, despite being fully outfitted, it took years to suppress just over thirty demon beasts.

Although our strength has greatly improved, the beasts, freed from the constraints and suppression of the Penglai Mountain Barrier Array, are also quickly recovering their strength.

So, capturing beasts continuously to use as the array foundation is nearly impossible.

"Huh, such strong energy!"

Suddenly, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace issued a warning, "Be careful, a powerful Great Demon King is approaching."

Yang Fei was shocked, "Weren’t those demon beast kings scared away? How could a demon beast king dare to come closer?"

While speaking, he gazed towards the distant foot of the mountain.

In the morning light, a giant crimson serpent was rapidly approaching from the distant mountainside.
