The Void Post Station's defensive lines fell back steadily beneath the demonic tide. Fortifications were continually destroyed, and cultivators screamed as demons devoured them.
The station master from the frontier station earlier watched more and more demons break through the defenses, a glimmer of resolve flashing in his eyes.
He drew a deep breath and declared, "Brothers! The Chief Station Masters may have their difficulties, but we cannot give up! Behind us lie our homes and billions of living beings! Today is the day we spill our blood across the void and fight to the bitter end! Pass on my orders: deploy the Nine Deaths Life and Death Formation!"
At those words, fighting spirit blazed in the old tower master's eyes as well. "Good! Let these otherworldly evil demons see that the men of our Void Post Station are no cowards who cling to life and fear death, even without the Chief Station Masters!"
As the orders went out, the cultivators of the Void Post Station regrouped and established a final defensive line at the cost of their lives.
Although they knew it might all be futile, they still chose to use their own flesh and blood to buy even another second for the worlds behind them.
Meanwhile, concealed within the void, the seven Chief Station Masters observed the situation at the various stations through a secret technique.
Seeing the cultivators' miserable plight below and their tragic, heroic resistance, Jin Dong's brows drew even tighter, and he could not help speaking again.
"Brother Ji, look... they're almost at their limit. Are we really... really not going to intervene?"
Ji Boda gazed deeply at the chaotic battle. Only after a long while did he slowly say, "We have already issued orders to organize the defenses. The rest... is up to them.
