Chapter 641: Chapter 636: Major Attack Four

Boom!

The formation began to shake, and several dragon-headed humans appeared, along with a red-eyed human figure clad in black armor who wielded twin blades, furiously slashing at the formation’s net.

One after another, the platinum-colored threads of the net were being severed continuously.

"Everyone, get ready to take action!"

Shen Tang barked sharply.

At the same time, he began to control all the Taoist soldiers with his mind.

Teams of Taoist soldiers slowly tightened their grip on their weapons, and the snow monsters roared. These creatures, like white bears but covered in ice spikes, resembled a giant cross between bears and hedgehogs.

They were the first batch to soar into the air, stepping on clouds of white mist, charging outside the city.

At the exit of the Taoist Palace, an old man with a white light in his eyes and a long beard slowly stepped out.

Around him floated countless tiny silvery points of light that were continuously being generated in large numbers, rapidly gathering beside him.

Soon, a plethora of silvery light coalesced into various silver longswords, floating mid-air.

"Heaven and Earth Spirits, real and unreal are indistinguishable."

The old man’s beard and hair suddenly bristled fiercely.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, countless silver small swords shot up into the sky, along with him, flying out of the formation.

Hundreds of silver small swords formed a storm-like surroundings around the old man, turning into a meat grinder that instantly annihilated tens of thousands of Void Demons, clearing a large hole in the Demon Spirit Army.

Even the three dragon-headed humans were instantly killed by this strike.

The great battle finally commenced!

**********************

Over ten days, the Void Spirit Tower barely managed to patch the breaches, but a portion of the Demon Spirit Army had already been discovered splitting into many small groups, disappearing through the gaps.

Headquarters at Green Lake Mountain sent a communication, requesting the second line of defense to stabilize the situation with all their might. They were to hold the advance of the Void Demon Army at all costs.

A few more days passed.

The news of the loss of the war cities spread like snowflakes.

Green Lake Mountain, Four Seas Fairy Mountains, Illusory Sea Polar Regions, over a hundred war cities had been destroyed in the sudden assault, and the second defense line’s formation showed weakened power, with the Heavenly Demon Army Master possibly striking at any moment to break the formation.

The situation was on a knife-edge.

********************

After swallowing the last Soul Return Pill, Lin Xin furiously slashed at the surrounding demon spirits, barely diving downward.

There was that kind of invisible vibration, which greatly reduced his healing speed.

It had dropped to one-tenth of its normal rate.

It wasn’t just him; even all the Taoist soldiers’ self-healing abilities were affected, and some even had grayish-white patches resembling corpse spots appearing on their surfaces.

Those strange dragon-headed beings didn’t seem to appear again, merely hiding in the shadows, waiting for their chance.

Ding!

’Request for Life Spirit Tower successful, dispatch within one day, please ensure there is enough space.’

A message transmitted into his mind through his identity Jade Talisman.

Lin Xin was immediately overjoyed; with the Life Spirit Tower, he could acquire a large supply of healing pills and even temporarily request a respite, applying for support.

He was almost at the point of total exhaustion.

He was wringing out every bit of strength from within his body, his speed had dropped to the most stamina-saving level possible.

His sword speed was indeed terrifying and extremely sharp, but the density of the demon spirits had also reduced a lot, and instead, large groups of those Elephant Trunk Turtles were sent.

To break through the skin of these Elephant Trunk Turtles required more than ten times the energy or elemental energy usually needed for smaller demons.

Void Demon Spirits, having battled cultivators for countless years, naturally possessed perfect experience to address various types of cultivators.

Lin Xin was not surprised to find himself pushed to this extent; he just hadn’t expected such a sudden and massive attack from the Void Demon Army.

He no longer had any healing pills to aid his recovery. He had an Array Plate, but it lacked the Spirit Jade Spiritual Marrow as an energy source.

Previously, using the Soul Return Pill had healed some of his injuries, at least his body was mostly intact again, but his internal injuries were still not fully healed.

From this point on, he had reached the end of his resources. Without healing pills, the next time his strength was exhausted would be his day of demise.

But the Life Spirit Tower was his hope!

Once it was dispatched, he could completely request the Light of the Spiritual Phoenix, temporarily isolate himself, create a buffer, get some respite, and thus rapidly level up, restoring and strengthening his body to fight with the battle’s nourishment.

*******************

Following behind Senior Yu Xiu, Shen Tang was furiously slaughtering the demon spirits.

From time to time, he shoved several Replenishing Qi Pills into his mouth, restoring the drained elemental energy.

After just a few charges, he had nearly exhausted his True Qi and had to rely on the healing pills to supplement. The disadvantages of using external forces to break through to the Fifth Rank were showing, not even as strong as an ordinary Fifth Rank first level.

Outside the great formation, the endless demon spirits continued, Yu Xiu, standing in the void, was surrounded by countless silver small swords automatically attacking all the approaching demon spirits. The might was unmatched.

Looking from afar, it was as if a giant silver sphere floated in the void.

"No, there are too many!" the deputy old man ran to Shen Tang’s side and shouted loudly, casually blasting a few Elephant Trunk Turtles that had come too close.

"Everyone’s healing pills are almost gone! Even Senior Yu Xiu needs Sixth Rank Replenishing Qi Pills to supply the expenditure!"

"Don’t worry about the cost! Go to the Life Spirit Tower and apply! Has the support been sent out yet!?"

Shen Tang threw a black pill, which exploded with a boom, releasing a swarm of black toxic bees from the black flames, flying towards the surrounding demon spirit army.

"It’s already been sent, Life Spirit Tower hasn’t responded yet! But the wartime supplies have already been transported here!" the old man transmitted back breathlessly. "Apart from wartime supplies, all other prices at the front line cities are halved!"

"I don’t need half price! I need support!!"

Shen Tang roared, his eyes slightly reddened. In his mind, he could sense that the Taoist soldiers he had nurtured over time were already more than half consumed.

But it seemed that attracted by Senior Yu Xiu, more and more Void Demon Spirits constantly emerged, over ten dragon-headed beings alone had appeared.

No telling how many other demon spirits had been killed, possibly millions by now!

"Where are all these demon spirits coming from!!? Fuck!" With his mind in urgency, Shen Tang couldn’t help but curse wildly.

"All beings will eventually hatch their own destruction....!"

Suddenly, from the depths of the void above, a deep, grand, and majestic voice boomed.

This voice seemed to come from a faraway place, vast beyond measure, as if it could spread throughout the entire void.

Yu Xiu’s expression changed.

"It’s Sebolis!!"

As the voice resounded, the already frenzied Demon Spirit Army’s bodies suddenly burst forth with a layer of red light.

Their strength and speed increased greatly, making them even more ferocious as they hurtled toward the direction of the battle city.

Boom!!!

Thousands of void Elephant Trunk Turtles slammed hard against Yu Xiu’s sword shield sphere, self-detonating before even being slain.

The violent Elemental Energy and Demon Spirit Energy crashed like a tsunami against the silver sword sphere.

At the same time, a massive blood-red arm, thousands of meters long and hundreds of meters thick, stretched out from the darkness and fiercely grabbed onto the silver sword sphere.

Crack!

The sword sphere finally shattered, revealing cracks.

"Retreat!!!"

Yu Xiu roared, his figure swiftly retreating.

Shen Tang and the others also frantically retreated into the battle city.

Woo woo woo...

In the center of the battle city, a spiral-shaped pristine white tower slowly rose, its summit sparkling with a pure colorless light sphere. Inside the light sphere, a phoenix-like divine bird curled up in slumber.

The pure colorless light slowly spread out, gently enveloping the entire battle city. Isolating everything.

Shen Tang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"With the Void Spirit Tower drawing the Light of the Spiritual Phoenix, we’ve temporarily set up a spatial maze around the battle city, allowing us a brief respite to catch our breath," they said.

Yu Xiu, lips bleeding, stuffed a Healing Pill into his mouth without a word and directly returned to the Taoist Palace to rest and heal his wounds.

The others hurried to the area near the Void Spirit Tower to collect their spent Replenishing Qi and Healing Pills.

********************

White Jade City

Research Institute.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!!"

A large group of monks in green robes rapidly levitated a small spiraled tower, stamped it with a Lin character, and then placed it onto the Teleportation Formation.

Bang!

Qiao Yu burst through the door, her forehead sweaty and her breath hurried.

"Is there another Void Spirit Tower!?" she asked urgently.

This was the production area, and the monk in charge came forward apologetically.

"Fairy Qiao, we’ve run out. If you need one, we must make it on demand."

"Run out?" Qiao Yu felt a surge of urgency.

Her good sister, also one of the Void Lords, was under attack by the Demon Spirit Army and in immediate danger. She had urgently sent a message asking for quick deployment of a Void Spirit Tower!

She had rushed here without even stopping to eat, and now they were telling her they were out?

"Isn’t there still one here? Whose is this? I’m taking it!"

She rushed over and laid her hands on the Void Spirit Tower.

"This has already been reserved by someone else, Fairy Qiao. This is against the rules!" The person in charge was immediately alarmed, as they were already late due to last-minute orders, and now if their stock was hijacked...

Qiao Yu knew it was against the rules, but her good sister was in a dire situation.

She gritted her teeth and decided not to care about the rules at the moment.

"I don’t care! This tower is mine now; make another one and send it over!"

She quickly shrank the Void Spirit Tower, picked it up, and left.

"Fairy Qiao! Fairy Qiao!!!"

The person in charge hurriedly chased after her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

********************

Puh!

A stream of blood burst from Lin Xin’s mouth.

He staggered after being rammed in the back by an Elephant Trunk Turtle, which was rebounded and exploded into pieces, dead beyond dead.

But he himself could no longer endure, his Attributes unable to sustain him anymore.

In such a siege, he could only rely on his defensive physique to resist directly, as dodging was almost useless, and there was no space to divert the forces. He could only weakly reduce some of the force hitting him.

But it was futile as the surroundings were densely packed with Demon Spirits, the frequency and numbers far too great.

Lin Xin had no more supplies.

The fortress below had already been destroyed by the Demon Spirit Army.

The inscription dwarves were dead beyond dead.

Only the fortress near the wall corner was intact, as it hadn’t been the focus of the attack.

But even so, over sixty steel men were lost, with only thirty stubbornly resisting.

Meanwhile, the Void Egg had grown significantly stronger, already controlling tens of thousands of smaller void demons, including dozens of Elephant Trunk Turtles.

At this moment, he was striving to control the army of the Void Egg to surge this way.

He also coordinated and charged toward them.

"All beings will eventually hatch their own destruction...." Suddenly, a terrifying voice, grandiose and penetrating, emerged from the depths of the void.

Instantly, all the besieging Demon Spirits lit up with a layer of red light. Their energy surged up by one rank!
