The Outer Realm Cultivators were even stronger than Ling Tian and the others had imagined. In particular, they used suicide attacks to destroy the formation-pattern restrictions the others had set up. By the time they broke through the final formation, two or three dozen Universe Flying Saucers remained. They were undoubtedly the finest craft in the Outer Realm Cultivators' hands, and numerous small and medium-sized Universe Flying Saucers, mecha puppets, Black Spiders, and other forces still surrounded them. With the formation restrictions no longer defending them, they had no choice but to retreat into Beast Soul Valley, attacking as they fell back.
Although the formation restrictions were gone, and they had Ling Tian and the others as "deadweight" to protect, that didn't mean Feng Qing and his people were sitting ducks.
This time, every major power had brought some of its sect's treasures. In the hands of veteran quasi-Saint experts, those treasures could unleash tremendous power. They weren't especially suited for long-range attacks, but they were quite effective for defense—particularly the Gu Family's Void Mirror. The barrier it formed had astonishing defensive strength.
That wasn't all. Feng Xi now used a combined Phenomenal Domain, merging it with Ling Tian's domain to conjure one solid earthen wall after another. The walls could block some of the laser attacks. At the very least, they could buy a little time and give everyone a chance to react.
"Ling Tian, Chi Xue and the others are trying to withdraw." Fairy Sword Ji was the first to notice. Her brows knit slightly. "Without them, the pressure on us will be even greater."
Fairy Sword Ji was right. Not only were the Mo Family experts preparing to leave, but cultivators from major sects such as Heavenly One Path and Thorn Alliance were also thinking of retreating.
