Chapter 438: Dilemma

Outside Wenxian City, endless demonic beasts were like a rolling torrent, blotting out the sky and sun as they surged forward incessantly.

One could not see the end at a single glance.

The weakest of these demonic beasts had the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage.

The stronger ones reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

The strongest among them could even rival the likes of Wei Yuan.

They seemed infinite, constantly crashing against Wenxian City.

In front of the Beast Tide.

Over a thousand Cultivators formed a defensive line.

A faint radiance permeated the light curtain that enveloped the surroundings of Wenxian City.

Wherever the light reached.

The power of every Cultivator in Wenxian City was greatly amplified.

Fresh blood flew everywhere.

Spiritual Power roared and raged.

The group of Cultivators was like an indestructible barrier, desperately resisting the impact of the Beast Tide.

"Is this the effect of the Wenxian City Protective Array?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He saw clearly.

A Cultivator whose cultivation was originally only Fourth-tier Will, under the amplification of the City Protection Array, actually displayed power comparable to a Fifth-tier Will Cultivator.

He saw Kunshan, who was at the Fifth-Order Will Stage, display power comparable to the Sixth-Order Will Stage.

He also saw Wei Yuan, who was at the Seventh-Order Will Stage, have his power greatly increased under the blessing of the Array's strength.

Although there was still a gap compared to the power of an Eighth-Order Will, it was not far off.

Although the number of demonic beasts in the Beast Tide was astonishingly high.

Due to the gap in top-tier combat power, they could not break through the defensive line in the slightest for the time being.

"If even a broken City Protection Array has such power, how strong would it be when intact?"

"I'm afraid it could allow an Eighth-Order Will Cultivator to display power at the Ninth-Order Will Stage, right?"

"No wonder the Cultivators from Outside the Realm would spare no cost to break it."

Just as Wang Jianqiang was marveling at the power of the Wenxian City Protective Array, ten astonishing auras suddenly erupted from behind the Beast Tide.

He then saw.

Ten massive figures flying in from the horizon.

"This is..."

"Eighth-Order Will Stage demonic beasts!"

Seeing these ten massive figures, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Outside the city.

The ten massive figures flew over like meteors.

Like meteors falling from the sky, they collided fiercely with the defensive line formed by the Cultivators.

In an instant.

Several Fourth-tier Will level Cultivators were caught in the violent power ripples, spitting blood and flying backward.

"Be careful, these are all Eighth-Order Will Stage demonic beasts!"

In the crowd, Spirit Light flashed.

More than twenty figures flew out from the defensive line, taking the initiative to block the front of the ten Eighth-Order Will Stage demonic beasts.

"You all hold off the Beast Tide, we will block these Eighth-Order demonic beasts!"

These twenty-plus figures were all at the Seventh-Order Will cultivation level.

Because of the power blessing from the City Protection Array, their strength had increased significantly; they could not fully rival Eighth-Order Will level Cultivators, but they relied on their numerical advantage.

In the end, they still barely managed to block these ten Eighth-Order Will Stage demonic beasts.

However, these twenty-plus Seventh-Order Will level Cultivators were the main force of the defensive line, and as they were held back by the Eighth-Order Will Stage demonic beasts, the overall strength of the defensive line weakened significantly.

The defensive line, which had originally been as stable as a mountain, was suddenly no longer indestructible.

Roar~

Just at this moment.

A heaven-shaking roar suddenly came.

The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted.

A massive figure, a thousand feet long and covered in jade-white scales, flashed out from above the Beast Tide.

"This is~"

"A dragon?"

Seeing this demonic beast covered in white jade scales, Wang Jianqiang's expression was startled.

This beast was too similar to the legendary Divine Dragon!

Immediately following.

He shook his head again.

The Divine Dragon was a legendary immortal beast; it could not exist in the Fanjie.

It should just be a demonic beast possessing the Divine Dragon Bloodline.

However, how powerful the Divine Dragon Bloodline was.

Even if it is merely a descendant of dragon blood, the strength of this beast must be extremely astonishing.

What surprised him even more was.

The cultivation of this beast had already reached the Ninth-Order Will Stage!

Outside the city.

Sensing the terrifying aura on the dragon beast.

Over a thousand city-defending Cultivators were simultaneously startled in their hearts.

Swish! Swish!

Just at this moment.

Four figures suddenly flew out from within the city and charged straight into the battlefield.

They surrounded the dragon beast.

Seeing these four figures, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He had seen these four people once before.

They were precisely the Four Deputy City Lords of this Wenxian City.

After the four appeared, they launched an attack on the dragon beast without the slightest hesitation.

The dragon beast roared and fiercely counterattacked.

With every move, its immense power stirred up an astonishing storm in the air.

From time to time, it spat out frost from its mouth that seemed capable of freezing all things.

The City Protection Array was, after all, not in its complete state.

Although the power of the Four Deputy City Lords was boosted significantly under the support of the Array, there was still a not-insignificant gap compared to the power of the Ninth-Order Will Stage.

Even though they joined forces and had practiced an exquisite combined attack technique.

Facing this dragon beast, they were still unable to gain the slightest upper hand.

But they ultimately managed to temporarily hold off this powerful dragon beast.

The great battle gradually became scorching.

With every breath, a large number of demon beasts were slaughtered by the city-defending Cultivators.

Fresh blood dyed the earth red.

As the great battle continued incessantly.

Casualties also gradually began to appear among the city-defending Cultivators.

After the battle had lasted for an entire day.

Two figures, one male and one female, suddenly flew over from behind the beast horde.

In an instant.

Two powerful auras swept across the entire field.

The man had graying hair, but his face was that of a youth, and his appearance was handsome.

The woman wore a white dress that was spotless, emitting a faint luster, and her face was covered by distorted light, making it impossible to see even a fraction of it.

Seeing these two figures.

Among the crowd of city-defending Cultivators, all those who had stayed in the Outer Realm Battlefield for a longer time had their expressions change.

They were not strangers to these two people.

Xiaoyue Daoren!

Yaoguang Xianzi!

The two leading figures of the Cultivators from Outside the Realm in this Outer Realm Battlefield, Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators!

"Are you finally unable to resist making a move?"

The moment the two appeared, a melodious voice came from within Wenxian City.

It drowned out the sounds of slaughter on the battlefield and spread throughout the entire battlefield.

Before the words had even faded.

A figure suddenly flashed and appeared before Xiaoyue Daoren and Yaoguang Xianzi.

This was a woman in a long dress with her face veiled by light gauze.

Her long hair was simply tied up, dancing with the wind.

Her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and as her gaze shifted, starlight seemed to flicker within.

"It's the City Lord!"

After the veiled woman appeared, the crowd of city-defending Cultivators seemed to suddenly have a backbone.

They one after another breathed a sigh of relief and focused on resisting the beast horde.

Inside the city.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze rested on the veiled woman.

His golden eyes flashed.

Is this the Wenxian City City Lord?

As expected, she is a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator!

Only...

Under his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, he could clearly see that the flow of the other party's Spiritual Power seemed somewhat obstructed.

She seems to be injured!

That man and woman are also Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators.

Can she handle them?

Afterward, he turned his gaze toward the battlefield between the Four Deputy City Lords and the Dragon Beast.

The four of them appeared to be holding the Dragon Beast back.

But in reality, they were already being firmly suppressed by the Dragon Beast.

Then there was the Beast Tide battlefield.

The defense line of Wenxian City appeared stable, but that was only temporary.

As time passed, it would sooner or later be worn down to death.

The entire battlefield appeared to be relatively stable.

But in reality, it was already constantly moving toward the Abyss!
