Chapter 2346 The Great Battle Begins: The Celestial Star Formation and the Flying Locust Beasts
"Woooo..."
The piercing alarm instantly awakened all the True Immortals in the entire Flying City.
They then rapidly converged towards the city gate of Feilai City.
On the way, Chen Xuan quickly found the powerful figures in Tianguang City where Xiao Qin was located, as well as several unfamiliar powerful figures led by the Fairy of Nanling.
However, Chen Xuan was not interested in the others either.
After greeting Nanling Fairy and Xiao Qin, he mingled in the group and followed the two silently.
Soon, the group arrived at the city wall of Feilai City.
Looking out over Feilai City, a massive, dark army of demonic beasts, like a black ocean, completely filled the land outside the city.
Even the sky was filled with all sorts of terrifying and powerful birds of prey.
The entire Flying City was protected by a large array.
Yet it resembled a fruit that could be devoured by any demonic beast at any time.
This greatly increased the pressure on all the powerful individuals in Flying City.
"Damn it, why are there so many demonic beasts suddenly appearing? Are they trying to send us all to our deaths here?"
"Yes, these demonic beasts may not be of high cultivation level, but there are simply too many of them. Their sheer numbers alone can wear us down."
"Who says otherwise? If we fight alone, we'll probably be killed by these monsters on the spot in no time!"
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Chen Xuan was secretly alarmed.
The majority of the demonic beasts below were at the Earth Immortal realm.
But there were just too many of these monsters.
If you are alone in battle...
Let alone a Golden Immortal, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would perish on the spot if faced with such a large number of demonic beasts attacking.
"Luckily, I agreed to join forces with Fairy Nanling and Xiao Qin. Otherwise, if I had been sent to the battlefield alone, I probably wouldn't even know how I died!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.
At this moment, all the powerful figures who flew into the city wore solemn expressions.
His face was extremely ugly.
At that very moment, a terrifying pressure from a late-stage Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection realm suddenly appeared above Flying City.
The person who came was none other than Old Zhou.
His imposing gaze swept over everyone, and he immediately declared in a loud voice, "I am Zhou Jing of Meishan Cave! I am also one of the commanders of this battle!"
"Fellow Daoists, have you all seen this? These demonic beasts before us are savage, brutal, and bloodthirsty!"
"If our Flying City is breached, what can we do besides become food for these monsters?"
"Therefore, this battle is not for the sake of the reputation of our Tiannan True Immortal Realm, but for our own survival!"
"But please rest assured, everyone. Once we hold off the first wave of attacks, our reinforcements will arrive soon."
"At that time, those fellow cultivators who have accumulated enough merit points will be able to leave Flying City!"
Zhou Jing's words were not impassioned or grandiloquent.
However, his words made everyone feel an invisible sense of pressure and crisis.
Everyone was completely moved by Zhou Jing's words at that moment.
Driven by their survival instincts, everyone spontaneously raised their arms and shouted in unison.
"Survival! Fighting!"
"Survival! Fighting!"
……
At this moment, the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the powerful figures in Feilai City was completely ignited.
Only a few strong individuals with unwavering will, like Chen Xuan, remained unmoved.
"This Fellow Daoist Zhou is quite capable. However, even if we go all out, we will still have to rely on the formation to barely withstand the first wave of attacks!"
"Once the battle begins, everyone must not leave the protective range of the defensive array!"
Chen Xuan's lips moved slightly, giving a reminder to Nanling Fairy and Xiao Qin.
Upon hearing this, the two women were jolted awake from their earlier excitement and looked at Chen Xuan with eyes full of emotion.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Chen!"
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen!"
At this moment, both women looked at Chen Xuan with a newfound respect.
Just now, even they were moved by Zhou Jing's words.
They wished they could charge straight into the army of monsters and wreak havoc.
But if they really did that, they would probably only become food for the monsters.
At this moment, the demonic beast army below Feilai City finally made its move.
"Roar!"
A piercing roar of a monstrous beast echoed from the void.
A dark mass of demonic beasts charged madly towards Flying City from the ground.
At this moment, everyone's divine senses rapidly spread out, trying to see clearly what kind of monsters they were.
But Chen Xuan didn't need to activate his divine sense at all. With the strength of his divine sense, he could see all the movements flying towards the city.
"It's an earth spirit beast at the half-step True Immortal realm!"
Chen Xuan said calmly.
Earth Spirit Beast!
Low intelligence!
Short-tempered!
Extremely destructive!
The demonic beasts in the Jinling Mountains actually sent out earth spirit beasts as their first wave, probably aiming for a war of attrition.
Although the Earth Spirit Beast's cultivation level is relatively low.
But the number is extremely large.
When they jumped and ran wildly together, the whole earth trembled violently.
Even the protective array above Flying City was swaying gently with the footsteps of the Earth Spirit Beast.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
"These earth spirit beasts don't seem to have high cultivation levels. But when they charge together, the commotion is enormous. I wonder how Flying City will deal with this wave of attacks!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.
At that moment, a wailing sound suddenly came from Flying City.
Soon, a whooshing sound came from the protective array above everyone's heads.
Immediately afterwards, terrifying array light screens, each as thick as a bowl, shot directly into the sky.
It then crashed down into the group of earth spirit beasts below.
boom!
Boom boom!
boom!
Click!
……
The sharp sound of explosions continued to ring out from the void.
The entire earth was torn open with gaping wounds by the terrifying array of light pillars.
The charging earth spirit beasts were immediately overwhelmed by the terrifying attack and fell to the ground.
Many more earth spirit beasts were instantly smashed into mincemeat by the terrifying array light pillars.
Upon seeing this, all the powerful figures from Flying City standing on the city wall were filled with excitement.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
……
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the first wave of earth spirit beasts that rushed towards Feilai City all fell ten miles away from the city.
Not a single one had the chance to set foot within ten miles.
This greatly boosted the confidence of everyone standing on the Flying City.
Only a few people, including Chen Xuan, were fully aware that this was merely the first probing attack by the demon beast army.
The demon army's true trump card has not yet been officially used.
"Roar!"
Several dozen breaths later, another ear-piercing roar of a demonic beast rang out.
In the distance, the assembled demon beast army was slowly and frantically approaching Flying City, where Chen Xuan and the others were located.
Although these monsters are not very fast.
However, his steps were unusually steady.
Moreover, the aura emanating from each of these demonic beasts was that of a terrestrial immortal.
It is many times stronger than the earth spirit beast army that just served as cannon fodder.
Moreover, their numbers are several times greater than those of the Earth Spirit Beasts.
Seeing so many demonic beasts slowly approaching at this moment.
Everyone is under immense pressure.
Chen Xuan remained completely calm.
"The Iron Tiger Beasts on the ground are nothing to fear. What we should really be worried about are the Flying Locust Beasts hiding in the void, ready to strike at any moment!"
"Everyone, look at these flying locust beasts. Each one is at the Celestial Immortal realm in cultivation, and they are skilled in flight!"
"Once an attack is launched from the void towards Flying City, its protective array will likely be destroyed!"
"If I'm not mistaken, once the Iron Tiger Beast's attack is thwarted, these Flying Locust Beasts will make their move."
"Let's prepare to make our move sooner rather than later!"
Chen Xuan's calm voice rang out from the scene.
Upon hearing this, Nanling Fairy, Xiao Qin, and all the powerful figures from Tianguang City and Yueying Society prepared to take action.
As for the others, although they heard Chen Xuan's words, they didn't take them seriously at all.
In their view, the protective array in Feilai City was capable of killing all the earth spirit beasts, and dealing with the upcoming attacks from the demon beasts should not be a big problem.
A few dozen breaths later, the terrifying Iron Tiger Beast appeared more than ten miles in front of Flying City.
At this moment, all the Iron Tiger Beasts suddenly increased their speed.
Wow!
In an instant, streaks of afterimages rushed toward the crowd from below the flying city.
Seeing this, many powerful figures from Flying City were already eager to make their move against the Iron Tiger Beast.
Only Chen Xuan signaled to everyone in Tianguang City and the Moon Shadow Society not to make a move.
boom!
A terrifying attack rained down on the Iron Tiger Beast below.
These Iron Tiger Beasts, at the Earth Immortal level, possess astonishing defensive capabilities.
But it still couldn't stop the combined attack of everyone.
Before long, a large number of them were killed.
Meanwhile, more and more Iron Tiger Beasts have appeared below Flying City.
And then launched a frenzied attack.
This caused all the powerful figures who had just made their move to show signs of exhaustion.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Jing, who was in charge of the battle, immediately waved her hand.
A buzzing sound came again from the protective array above Feilai City.
Before long, a cluster of stars appeared on the array's light screen.
The terrifying power of starlight crashed down relentlessly onto the Iron Tiger Beast Horde below.
In an instant, all the Iron Tiger Beasts charging at the front were killed on the spot.
Such a terrifying attack surprised Chen Xuan somewhat.
"It's actually the Celestial Star Formation? It seems these guys from Flying City have taken some countermeasures. But, it's not enough!"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
At that very moment, the locust beasts that were fully prepared in the void suddenly launched an attack.
These creatures have a pair of enormous fleshy wings.
In the instant of rapid movement, his figure moved with incredible agility through the void.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared above the protective array of Flying City.
They launched a fierce attack on the protective array below.
The protective array, which was being continuously activated, began to show signs of faltering under the terrifying attack of tens of thousands of flying locust beasts.
Cracks also appeared on the array's light screen.
This filled everyone with fear and trepidation.
Only Chen Xuan and the others had anticipated this.
The moment the locust beasts launched their attack, everyone remained calm and collected, and one after another, they killed the locust beasts that were attacking the light barrier of the formation.
Soon, a large blank space appeared above the city wall guarded by Chen Xuan and others.
In contrast, other areas were completely overwhelmed by the terrifying attacks of the flying locust beasts, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back.
This immediately made Zhou Jing, who was in charge of the battle, frown.
"Damn it, if we can't get rid of these flying locust beasts, we're afraid our Flying City will fall."
"Quickly, pass on my order. Anyone who slays a flying locust beast will have their merit points doubled!"
