Leveraging their numerical advantage, the beast horde slowly advances toward the city walls.

Seeing the situation, all factions panic; if the beasts were allowed to reach the city's base, the walls—without the protection of the grand defensive formation—would be as fragile as paper.

Translation: Seeing the situation, people of all major forces panicked; if the beast horde were allowed to reach the city's base, the walls lacking the protection of the Defending Grand Formation would be as fragile as paper.

They cannot withstand the beasts' impact at all and would be easily torn apart.

Translation: They simply could not withstand the horde's impact and would easily be torn apart.

We must never let the beasts get a chance to approach the walls; even a small breach opened by them would make the situation far more difficult.

Casualties have undoubtedly risen greatly, but at least the beasts can no longer threaten the walls.

Everyone is fighting to the death; some human cultivators, even after having an arm torn off, continue their assault without pause.

Moreover, self‑detonation of the Dao body at the point of death occurs repeatedly.

Realizing they have reached their limit and can no longer endure, many human cultivators choose to drag a few beasts down with them in death.

The fierce battle seems endless, and by now Ye Changqing's heavenly tribulation has already ended.

Within Wuji Xiancheng, more than half of the human cultivators have already fallen here.

The remaining ones, though nearly exhausted, still continue to battle the beasts in blood.

Nonetheless, under such massive casualties, the pressure on the survivors is naturally many times greater than at the outset.

All they know is to expend their last breath and fight until the final moment.

Just as the situation grows ever more dire, in the distance, numerous immortal ships speed swiftly toward the battlefield.

Then these vessels, without slowing, plunge straight into the beast horde, erupting in waves of aftershock.

"Have our human reinforcements arrived?"

Translation: "Our Human Race reinforcements have arrived?"

"Fellow Daoists, hold on—our human reinforcements have arrived."

Seeing human cultivators arriving as reinforcements, the previously waning morale of the crowd suddenly revived, as if hope had reappeared.

These arriving human cultivators are none other than the disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Since the Dao One Immortal Sect is already situated in the Wuji Mountains, not far from Wuji Xiancheng, it is no surprise that they were the first to reach the battlefield.

Translation: The Dao One Immortal Sect is originally situated in Wuji Shanmai, not far from Wuji Xiancheng, so it being the first to reach the battlefield is no surprise.

Their numbers are few, and indeed they can hardly make any substantial impact on the overall battle.

Yet the appearance of these Dao One Sect disciples at least gave everyone a glimpse of hope.

As long as they can hold out until many strong experts of the Human Race arrive, that is victory.

Morale rose again, and the advantage the beast herd had slowly gained was quickly suppressed by the Human Race.

However, this joy did not last long; as three terrifying auras descended, the three great Shou Shou appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

Naturally, these are not the true bodies of the three great Shou Shou; their true bodies are currently blocking Huang Lao and the others.

A battle of that level certainly would not be decided so quickly.

And these three Shou Shou silhouettes are actually similar to the human cultivators' external incarnation technique.

The Shou Shou naturally also have such a method; the external incarnations of the three great Shou Shou appeared, and that terrifying pressure made the Human Race cultivators' hearts sink.

Such beings are not something they can deal with.

Fortunately, the next second, Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin, without hesitation, crushed the external incarnation tokens on their persons.

Immediately, Huang Lao's and the Heavenly Family Patriarch's external incarnations also appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

The external incarnations of the two sides' ancestors exchanged no words; as soon as they appeared, they went straight into fierce battle, giving the opponent no chance to intervene.

Having used up all the external incarnation tokens on his person in one go, Ye Zhangqing no longer paid attention to that battle, but focused solely on dealing with the numerous beast tribes before him.
