Chapter 2241

Ye Zhangqing simply relied on his physical body and fought fiercely with this demon beast.

The beast race's physical strength is naturally far greater than that of Human Race cultivators; after all, this can be said to be the beast race's greatest advantage.

However, in the fierce battle, Ye Zhangqing was in no way inferior to this demon beast.

After a round of fierce fighting, this demon beast gained no advantage over Ye Zhangqing.

Heavenly Thunder surrounded them, and the man and beast fought intensely.

Other demon beasts nearby that tried to approach and surround them were, for the most part, killed outright by the terrifying shockwave of the battle as soon as they got close.

Ordinary demon beasts didn't even have the qualification to join the fight.

Seeing that Ye Zhangqing was temporarily safe, Tianlin also relaxed and focused on dealing with the beasts around him.

At this moment, he likewise had no leisure to attend to anything else.

Battles were breaking out all around Wuji Xiancheng, and the city's grand protective formation had already been activated.

The cultivators in the city all took action, and the people of the various major powers had already sent word back to their sects and families.

"Inform the sect and have its strong ones rush to support."

"Elder, we've already contacted them; the sect is on its way."

"Good."

The response was swift, but the beast horde came like a tide, continuously surging; after one wave was slaughtered, there was no respite before the next rushed out of the Wuji Shanmai.

Moreover, as time passed, the beast hordes that appeared later were basically bereft of reason, with blood-red eyes, filled with murderous intent.

It is obvious that these beast races had their strength enhanced by that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Under such circumstances, the pressure on Human Race cultivators to cope naturally increased greatly.

Moreover, with the obvious numerical disparity between the sides, facing wave after wave of beast hordes, the Human Race side gradually found itself struggling to keep up.

Especially now, under the impact of the beast horde, the grand protective formation of Wuji Xiancheng finally reached its limit.

With a dull thud, the entire grand protective formation shattered like a broken mirror.

"Damn it, the grand protective formation has been breached."

"Hold on, don't let the beast horde rush in."

Already hard to sustain under immense pressure, the breaking of the grand protective formation now added insult to injury.

With the grand protective formation, it could still help the Human Race side bear some pressure, but now that the formation is gone, the Human Race side can only rely on their own flesh and blood to resist the beast horde's impact.

Some timid loose cultivators even felt the urge to retreat, their steps unconsciously moving backward.

However, before they could retreat two steps, they were stopped by others nearby.

"What are you doing?"

"Even the grand protective formation is broken; we can't hold them. If we don't run now, we will surely die beneath this beast tide."

"Cut the crap; if the immortal city falls, death is certain. Without the teleportation formation, how will the various sects come to reinforce?"

"But......................"

"No buts; retreat is forbidden. We must hold the city and protect the teleportation formation, or everyone will die."

In the face of a beast horde like a tide, abandoning the city to flee is the most foolish choice.

If we cannot hold the city and lose the teleportation formation, then there truly is no chance left.

Although the grand protective formation has been broken, the Human Race can still rely on the immortal city to fully block the beast horde's advance.

As long as we can hold out until the strong ones of the various major powers arrive, we will be safe.

Therefore, although many Human Race cultivators felt fear and wanted to retreat when facing the endless beast horde, their companions around them shouted in low voices.

Weight the pros and cons; no need to say more—retreating now would truly mean total doom.

At this moment, the leaders of the various major powers also spoke up, shouting to steady morale.

But after all, everyone came from different powers, and many were even unaffiliated loose cultivators.

Trying to unite everyone and make them of one mind with just a few words is obviously difficult.

Until the voice of the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor rang out across the battlefield.

"Everyone, this battle is not just about this one city and land; it is a battle for the survival of our Human Race."

"If we win, our Human Race will remain the overlord of the Immortal Realm; if we lose, our Human Race will likely face catastrophic disaster, at which point not only you yourselves, but your relatives, brothers, wives and children will all perish in the beasts' jaws."

"Our Human Race descendants may, in years to come, become fodder for the beast race, raised from birth like cattle and sheep, awaiting slaughter."

"Do not harbor any hope; for now, the only plan is one battle. Without the grand protective formation, we will use our flesh and blood to block these beasts."

"Kill!"

With his words, the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor burst forth with golden light, and the golden radiance quickly suffused the entire sky.

Under the golden light's enveloping glow, the Human Race cultivators felt their wounds rapidly healing and the Línglì lost in battle swiftly replenished.

This is a divine ability of the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor, truly shocking.

However, such a method consumes enormous energy even for the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor.

But now he has no choice; he can only use this to boost morale, for if the crowd were defeated and he alone remained, even with heaven-reaching strength he could hardly endure.

Such a number of beast hordes cannot be resisted by him alone; he might block part of it, but what about the hordes from other directions? He has no way.

Only by everyone working together in unity can we hold out.

As the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor displayed his divine ability, the people of the various major powers also shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the sect disciples and Immortal Clan Descendants indeed displayed their extraordinary side.

They took the lead, charging forward to fight fiercely alongside the beast horde.

With these sect disciples and Immortal Clan Descendants leading the way, those loose cultivators were also inspired.

The fear in their hearts was gradually submerged by intense fighting spirit.

After all, as the Heavenly Family's forefather said, this battle is absolutely not a mere gain or loss of a single city or land.

The Beast Race dares to do such a thing; its purpose is to overthrow the Human Race.

If Wuji Xiancheng cannot be held, it is tantamount to giving the Beast Race an opportunity; by then, wanting to strangle the Beast Race's ambitions will be infinitely more difficult.

Therefore, Wuji Xiancheng must be held; besides that, there is no retreat.

All Human Race cultivators had resolved to fight to the death without retreat; for a moment, although the city's great protective formation was broken, the beast horde was indeed blocked outside the city by everyone's flesh and blood.

The two sides clashed along a single line, with someone falling every second.

Just like the Human Race, the beast horde, facing the Human Race's desperate defense, also had no intention of retreating in the slightest.

Even though the corpses of their own kind piled up outside the city, the beast horde behind still did not pause; even stepping on their own kind's corpses, they charged forward without hesitation.

Waving their claws, opening their blood‑filled maws, they charged toward the Human Race cultivators.
