Demon Clouds Pressing Down on the City

The demon clouds press down on the city, threatening to shatter it!

Above Ten Thousand Witch City, the demonic energy billows like a black tsunami, aiming to engulf the entire massive city.

Countless ferocious demon soldiers and generals, riding the demonic winds like locusts, swarm towards the city walls. All manner of demonic arts, venom, and sharp claws relentlessly assault the protective city array.

The array's light barrier distorts violently, flickering unsteadily, emitting groans of unbearable strain.

On the city walls, Witch Clan warriors roar as they hurl bone spears and stone axes infused with Bloodline Power, invoking the power of totems to transform into spectral beasts that battle the demon soldiers.

The Great Witches manifest their Ancestor Witch True Forms or unleash powerful witch arts, engaging in an aerial bombardment with the hidden demon powerhouses within the demon clouds!

Explosions of energy, roars, and screams echo through the heavens and earth; lives are extinguished every moment.

The entirety of Ten Thousand Witch City is plunged into unprecedented panic and chaos.

The Houtu Tribe's area is relatively further inside, not yet directly attacked, but they can still feel the suffocating pressure and the constant tremors.

Li Su leaps onto the roof of a tall stone house, his divine sense sweeping towards the city walls, his heart heavy.

The attacking demon army is vast, including many demon generals at the Celestial Immortal and True Immortal levels. Even deeper within the demon clouds, he faintly senses several terrifying auras, comparable to Golden Immortals, that make his heart palpitate!

Although the Witch Clan fiercely resists with the city walls and the array, they are clearly at a disadvantage. The protective city array likely won't hold for much longer.

Once the array is broken, the city will undoubtedly drown in blood! His Houtu Tribe will be unable to escape either!

Something must be done!

He is no savior, but when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact! Moreover, the Houtu Tribe has shown him kindness.

His formations! Perhaps they can help!

Li Su's gaze sweeps across the Houtu Tribe's area, and a bold plan instantly forms in his mind.

He flashes away, finding the High Priest, who is organizing the evacuation of the elderly, weak, women, and children.

"High Priest! This junior might be able to reinforce the tribe's defenses, or even construct an auxiliary formation to connect with the main city array and share some of its burden!"

Li Su says quickly.

The High Priest, with a grave expression, shows a flicker of hope in her eyes upon hearing this, but then worries, "Young friend Mo Xing, this old one understands your intentions.

But with enemies surrounding the city now, any fluctuation in the formation could easily attract attacks; it's too dangerous! And time is pressing..."

"This junior has his own plans! Please allow this junior to utilize the tribe's reserve Spirit Stones and some of the Totem Pillar's power, and kindly send a few priests familiar with the earth veins to assist me!"

Li Su's tone is resolute. Having assisted in maintaining the formations before, he is already well-acquainted with the tribe's formation nodes and energy sources.

Seeing Li Su's determination and the dire situation, the High Priest no longer hesitates and immediately gives orders: "Good! Everything is as you say!

Ask for whatever you need! A Shi, A Tu, you two will lead your people to fully cooperate with young friend Mo Xing!"

Two Witch Clan priests at the peak of Earth Immortal realm immediately accept the command.

Time is of the essence! Li Su gets to work immediately.

Relying on his familiarity with the tribe's formations and his "Array Heart Clarity" spiritual power, he quickly devises a plan—to build upon the tribe's existing defense array, integrating his own star formations and the recently comprehended Dao of the Bedrock, to construct a stronger "Houtu Star Bedrock Array"!

He directs the Witch Clan priests to swiftly adjust the positions of the Totem Pillars, burying large quantities of Spirit Stones at specific nodes. He himself takes his position at the central array eye, his hands (bamboo branches) tapping rapidly, conjuring countless array runes that shimmer with starlight, integrating them into the ground and the Totem Pillars.

[Mobilizing the power of Wu Earth Essence, invoking the pulse of the earth...]

[Integrating Bedrock Dao rhyme, stabilizing the array foundation...]

[Drawing upon the power of the Cosmos stars (though obscured by demon clouds, a faint power can still be drawn), augmenting the array's sharpness...]

[Using the Oathkeeper Jade Pendant as a temporary array eye, enhancing its protective and purifying effects...]

Li Su applies all his knowledge to its extreme, even performing beyond his usual level! The insights gained just now in the Ancestor Witch Hall are perfectly integrated into the formation!

One hour! In just one hour! Under the fierce assault of the demons and amidst the earth-shattering cries of battle, a new composite array covering the entire Houtu Tribe area suddenly ignites!

Hum!

A heavy, earth-yellow halo mixed with brilliant starlight shoots towards the sky, like a massive shield inlaid with stars, firmly protecting the Houtu Tribe!

Within the halo, profound Bedrock patterns and a faint milky-white protective light flow, making the array not only possess astonishing defensive power but also a touch of effect to purify evil and stabilize the mind!

The aura of this formation even briefly attracts some attention from the battlefield! Several powerful demonic senses sweep over!

"It's done!" Li Su breathes a sigh of relief but dares not stop, immediately guiding the array's power to attempt a connection with Ten Thousand Witch City's main protective array.

However, at this very moment, a new change occurs!

Boom! Crack!

A world-shattering roar comes from the front of the city walls! Accompanied by the cries and roars of countless Witch Clan warriors, the massive protective light barrier of Ten Thousand Witch City finally shatters, creating a huge gap under the demons' relentless, all-out assault!

"Haha! My warriors! Charge in! Bloodbath Ten Thousand Witch City!"

From within the demon clouds, an incredibly arrogant roar erupts, and a terrifying demonic wind rushes towards the gap first!

The city wall defense line is broken!

Countless demon soldiers surge into the city through the gap like a breached dam!

The first to bear the brunt is the Houtu Tribe's area, not too far from the gap!

Although Li Su's new array has already been activated, whether it can withstand this surging tide of demons remains to be seen!

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" the High Priest's aged voice carries determination. All able-bodied Witch Clan warriors pick up their weapons and gather at the edge of the formation.

Li Su's eyes are solemn as he fully operates the formation, the Profound Star Swirl Body Protection light flowing unceasingly on his bamboo body.

He looks at the tide of ferocious demon soldiers surging towards them, and the several powerful demon general auras mixed within, knowing that the real test has only just begun!

His Star Bamboo Array will face its first baptism of blood!
