Meanwhile...
"Awooo!"
"Rumble!" A succession of furious roars and agonized cries from Demon Beasts swept in from the horizon. A vast swarm of Demon Beasts flew toward them... These were the survivors. Most had already fled in every direction, but this group had failed to break through the Metal Puppet army's blockade and could only turn back toward Ten Thousand Demon City...
Then-
"Lord Demon King! Hurry, let us in!"
"Help! Lord Demon King!"
"Hurry and let us in!"
"...!"
Ten Thousand Demon City had already activated its defensive restrictions. How could these Demon Beasts get inside? They crashed against the black-light barrier, making the entire defensive array shake violently, howling and pleading all the while...
At this sight...
What should we do? The Demon Kings exchanged bewildered looks, then all turned toward the Divine Light Roc...
"We cannot open the restrictions now... Otherwise, those Puppets will storm inside!" the Divine Light Roc said coldly...
"Mm!" Naturally, the other Demon Kings had no objections. Those outside were only Demon Beasts around the Heaven-and-Earth Realm, which was precisely why they had been stationed outside. They were not of much use now...
Besides, there really was no need to risk opening the defensive formation again to let those low-level Demon Beasts inside...
"Hmph... These Demon Kings really don't know how to command an army in battle!" Inside the Earth Spirit Overlord (Dong Santong), Li Xiaoya, Xiao Qian, and Dong Santong exchanged looks at those words and remarked coldly...
Then-
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of earth-shaking golden explosions erupted on the horizon as the Spirit Cannons in the countless Metal Puppets' hands fired at once...
In an instant...
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A shower of golden light swept across the entire sky. Countless spatial rifts and waves of golden light rippled outward.
