The demon race immediately adjusted its deployment, concentrating its forces on defending the nine critical formation nodes.
As for the less important nodes, they chose to ease their defenses somewhat.
As a cultivator attacking on the front line, Liu Yu soon sensed the change brought about by the arrangements within Lingwu City's formation.
The resistance he encountered while attacking had noticeably diminished.
Guo Poyun, Zhuo Mengzhen, and their four other teammates were also landing attacks on the pale red shield much more frequently.
But limited by the power of their attacks, their impact on the formation nodes within remained extremely small.
Their attacks were blocked by the shield, raising only the faintest ripples. A little of the resulting shock passed through, but it could not even affect the spiritual power nodes.
Seeing this, Liu Yu inwardly shook his head.
Even with the Earthshaking Talisman drastically weakening the Nine-Gate Heavenly Demon Formation for a short time, its overall power still remains near the upper end of the fourth-tier low-grade level.
That still isn't something Golden Core cultivators can easily shake.

The three spirit ships attacked relentlessly from fifty li away, suppressing the formation's own firepower,
