The Sunlight Fate Wheel Array absorbed the life-vein power of everyone in the city and erupted with dazzling divine light once more. The divine runes whistling through it settled into a steady, orderly rhythm.
But under Phoenix Soaring Sky's attacks, and the simultaneous strikes of the Demon Kings leaping out of the demon tide, the divine array shook repeatedly. Every blow consumed vast amounts of life-vein power.
This was the lifespan of the city's people. Once the divine array had absorbed a certain amount, it would stop drawing from their life veins, and the array would have reached its limit.
Li Tiangang abruptly turned toward the Divine General Residence. He recognized those golden figures streaking toward them like meteors at a glance. The Li Family's ancestors had marched to war once again.
Tears filled his eyes, and shame filled his heart.
"Child, let me lend you my strength."
A kindly voice sounded, and an ancestor's remnant soul flew over to Li Tiangang.
Li Tiangang looked at him. He remembered that this was the twenty-first-generation ancestor, a powerful warrior who had slain demons on the frontier in ages past and perished together with six Demon Kings.
"Your descendant has failed you. Ancestor, please support me in battle!"
Li Tiangang spoke through his grief.
The kindly old man smiled faintly. His figure shimmered, turning into golden flames that draped themselves over Li Tiangang.
Power surged into his body. Dazzling flames of divine might burst from the ancient bronze saber in Li Tiangang's hand. He put aside the grief and fury in his eyes, his gaze turning resolute and murderous, and sent a voice transmission to his wife, Ji Qingqing, asking her to keep Phoenix Soaring Sky occupied.
The Supreme Origin Sword Saint Treasure in Ji Qingqing's hand could counter a Dao Domain.
