Chapter 207: War is Coming

There is a futon in the center of the retreat room, and several ever-burning lamps are dotted around it, providing sufficient light for long-term retreat.

Various first-level spiritual flowers are planted everywhere in the entire cave, which not only beautifies the environment, but also continuously releases spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to cultivation.

Ye Changsheng strolled in it, feeling the rich spiritual energy, and couldn't help but feel sincerely grateful for the generosity of the Golden Light Fortress.

After settling down, Ye Changsheng couldn't wait to come to the retreat room and prepare to sacrifice the ancient treasure Xuantian Shield.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, took a deep breath, and placed the Xuantian Shield in front of him.

First, Ye Changsheng operated the exercises and slowly injected the spiritual power in his body into the Xuantian Shield.

A faint light began to appear on the surface of the ancient treasure, and as the spiritual power continued to be injected, the light became more and more intense.

Ye Changsheng carefully controlled the output of spiritual power, not daring to be careless.

Next, he began to silently recite the sacrifice spell.

This is an ancient spell he learned from the family classics, which is said to be able to awaken the dormant power of the ancient treasure.

As the spell was chanted, the runes on the Xuantian Shield began to flicker, as if they had come to life.

During the ritual, Ye Changsheng felt that the Xuantian Shield was gradually establishing a connection with himself. His consciousness slowly penetrated into the ancient treasure, exploring the mysteries contained in it.

In this process, he seemed to see countless pictures flashing by, which were the scenes of the former owner of the Xuantian Shield using it in battle.

As time went on, the ritual became more and more difficult.

Sweat beads oozed from Ye Changsheng's forehead, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

He knew that only by fully controlling this ancient treasure could he exert its full power in future battles.

Finally, after a full twenty days and nights, the Xuantian Shield burst into a dazzling light, and then quickly converged.

Ye Changsheng felt that he could control this ancient treasure at will. He breathed a sigh of relief, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

After completing the ritual, Ye Changsheng stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body. He secretly calculated in his heart that with the two ancient treasures, Yufeng Wing and Xuantian Shield, his ability to save his life in dangerous moments would be greatly enhanced.

Although Jinguang Fortress is a fortress of mankind, it is always good to be more prepared in the face of the threat of monsters.

Ye Changsheng decided to take a break and then began to familiarize himself with the use of these two ancient treasures.

He knew that in the upcoming battle, the skillful use of these treasures might be the key to life and death.

Since Ye Changsheng's 30th day of retreat, his identity jade card suddenly rang out a majestic voice: "Ye Changsheng, immediately go to the west wall of Jinguang Fortress, Chenduan is 20 miles to the right of the city gate, responsible for the attack of the third-order lower-grade monsters within a hundred feet range"

Ye Changsheng was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately packed up and drove the flying sword to the designated location.

Jinguang Fortress has four walls, each with twelve gates, and a large scale

When he arrived at the designated location, there was already a dark army of monsters opposite the west wall.

From afar, countless monsters surged like a tide, with terrifying momentum.

The huge bodies of various monsters cast huge shadows in the sun, as if they were going to swallow the whole world.

Ye Changsheng saw giant elephant monsters as big as hills, and every step they took made the earth tremble.

There were also winged griffin monsters circling in the air, making piercing screams.

There were also lizard monsters covered with hard scales, spitting out scarlet tongues, and flashing bloodthirsty light in their eyes.

Most of them were second-level monsters, but Ye Changsheng was surprised to find that there were also a large number of third-level monsters, at least 20%.

What was even more shocking was that he even saw the figures of many fourth-level monsters.

Although these high-level monsters were not many in number, each of them exuded a powerful breath that made people palpitate.

There were thunder eagles with lightning all over their bodies, and their wings were more than ten feet wide when they spread out.

There was also a fire wolf king with blazing flames all over his body, and every roar caused the sky and the earth to change color.

Ye Changsheng took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the city wall.

Every hundred meters on the city wall stood a huge spiritual cannon, with the muzzle flashing with various colors, ready to go.

Every fifty meters there was a bed crossbow, with crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm, shining with cold light.

Behind these defensive weapons, countless foundation-building monks stood densely.

Within the hundred-foot range that Ye Changsheng was responsible for, there were two hundred foundation-building monks.

All of these monks looked serious, holding magic tools, ready to fight monsters at any time.

Some monks were regulating their breath and resting their spirits, while others were checking their talismans and elixir reserves. There were also some Daoting-level elders on the city wall patrolling back and forth, directing the defense deployment.

Suddenly, the army of monsters in the distance began to stir, and they were about to launch an attack a few kilometers away from the city wall.

The monks on the city wall immediately entered combat mode, and the spiritual cannons began to charge, making a buzzing sound.

Following an order, the spiritual cannons on the city wall fired at the same time.

The brilliant beams of light cut through the sky and hit the monster army like a meteor shower.

The second- and third-level spiritual cannons were incredibly powerful, and monsters fell wherever they went.

Some monsters were vaporized on the spot, while others were blown to pieces.

For a while, the monster camp was filled with wailing and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The miserable state of the monsters hit by the spiritual cannons was shocking.

Some giant elephant monsters were blown to only half of their bodies, but they were still struggling in pain.

Some flying monsters were hit in the wings and fell from high altitude, killing a large number of their companions. What's more, some smaller monsters were directly blown away by the air waves and disintegrated in the air.

However, the monster army seemed tireless and continued to rush towards the city wall.

When they approached within a kilometer, countless crossbows on the city wall began to show their power. Crossbow arrows several feet long and as thick as bowls poured down like rain, causing huge damage to the monsters.

These crossbow arrows were not only of amazing size, but also attached with various spells.

Some crossbow arrows were wrapped in flames, and they instantly ignited after hitting the monsters, burning them to ashes. Some crossbow arrows were wrapped in ice power, and after hitting the monsters, they froze the monsters into ice sculptures.

Some crossbow arrows contained highly toxic substances, and even a scratch could make the monsters feel miserable.

For a time, the formation of the monster army was beaten to pieces.

But they were still charging forward frantically, trampling on the bodies of their companions, and one after another. Ye Changsheng couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this scene.

He knew that the real test had just begun.

As the monster army approached, the defense system of the Jinguang Fortress was fully activated. The monks on the city wall were ready to fight this life-and-death battle.

Suddenly, several huge second-level monsters jumped up with amazing explosive power and climbed up the dozens of feet high city wall.

These monsters have different shapes, some look like giant lizards, some look like ferocious tigers, and some look like giant snakes with wings.

As soon as they landed, they launched a fierce attack on the surrounding monks.

The foundation-building monks under Ye Changsheng immediately launched a counterattack.
