"Roar!"
A piercing, chilling roar erupted from the mouth of the enormous phantom Gu worm.
A foul wind carrying a fishy stench obscured the clouds and mist.
Gu Yuan saw that his Lineage elders had already made their move.
There was no longer any need for them to hide.
They all appeared at once, their nerves on edge.
They haven't shown themselves for the past few days because they're certain that the Lord of the Dao Court is in this city.
Although they spoke of the Lord of the Dao Court in their hearts and mouths, the people of the Dragon Fate did not care.
But when it comes to a real life-or-death struggle, how can one be careless?
One by one, they secretly channeled their Spiritual Power.
We have made thorough preparations.
Bing Wuhen and the others were not idle either. They summoned their Law Treasure one after another, held the talismans, and prepared to attack.
Just then, an elder of the Gu Clan made a move to test the waters.
They also wanted to see just how capable this Lord of the Dao Court really was.
Before he could finish thinking, the enormous phantom of the Gu worm had already rushed towards Litian Prefecture City.
It was only three breaths away that it would sink into the city, destroying houses and injuring civilians.
Just then.
A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire Litian Prefecture City.
"Warning! Warning! Unidentified magical attack detected!"
"This seriously threatens the safety of the prefectural city!"
"Danger level six!"
"Warning! Warning! Prefecture City War Mode has now been activated!"
"All citizens, please find a place to hide on the spot!"
"Repeated message: The capital city has entered war mode! Please take cover immediately."
One alarm after another suddenly blared, a heart-wrenching sound.
The spells cast by the Gu worms in the sky also seemed to be affected.
The warning sound carried a strange, pulsating power.
It seemed to slow down the attack.
Immediately afterward, before the city's million ordinary citizens could react...
The whirring of mechanical springs was accompanied by a surge of boundless inspiration.
The entire Litian Prefecture City seemed to come alive.
"Click-clack-click-clack~!"
"Snap! Snap!"
"Whoosh whoosh!~ Whoosh whoosh~!"
"Buzzing~! Buzzing~!"
Amidst the roar, the thick city walls surrounding the entire Litian Prefecture City flashed with light.
A thick, Bright Light suddenly extended upwards from the city wall.
Like a bowl cover, it covered the entire Litian Prefecture City.
At that moment, all the towers in the city flashed in unison.
All eleven of the official pagodas were mobilized.
The immense spiritual energy instantly coalesced into the phantom of a giant sword.
It suddenly stabbed towards the illusory image of the Gu worm above.
"What an eerie city!"
"They can even fight back!"
"Hmph, is the Lord of the Dao Court trying to force us to retreat by not showing himself?"
"If that's the case, then it's far too lenient to open the door to our Void Return."
Feeling the power of the giant sword that suddenly attacked.
The elder of the Gu Clan's expression changed slightly.
Clearly, he hadn't expected that this city not only had defensive capabilities but could also be actively attacked.
Judging from the fluctuations, they were enough to harm someone at the Void Return.
This shows that the Dao Court still has some strength.
However, this alone is certainly not enough to make them retreat.
With a wave of his hand, a string of skull prayer beads flew out swiftly.
Amidst the rising winds and surging tides, it may form a gigantic puppet mountain chain.
It protected the entire illusory image of the bone worm, and at the same time, it pressed down hard on the city below.
"Break it for me!"
Amidst the roar of the Gu Clan elder, the power of their spells and Law Treasure increased once more.
It even caused the void to tremble slightly.
This attack definitely possessed the strength of Late Void Return.
The people behind him also firmly believed that it was absolutely impossible for a mere city to withstand such an attack with a magic array.
The cultivators of the Northern Continent Ice Palace looked at the elder's profound Law Power.
He couldn't help but secretly send a telepathic message to Bing Wuhen.
"Young Palace Master, the magic used by the cultivators of the Southern Continent is insidious and powerful."
"Once the city falls, if we truly defeat that person Dragon Fate, he will definitely turn against us."
We must be careful.
Hearing the reminder from his elders.
Bing Wuhen nodded expressionlessly.
It was as if he, a mere Spirit Transformation, didn't take this Void Return Elder seriously.
As the Gu worms, carrying the Law Treasure, crashed into the giant sword's phantom image.
Without a doubt, in the blink of an eye, the phantom of the giant sword shattered on the spot.
And it did not reduce the power of the opponent's spell in the slightest.
It continued to press down on the city's protective barrier.
This elder of the Gu Clan is indeed powerful.
The Law Power of the Late Void Return cultivator brought an extremely oppressive force to the city-protecting formation.
The transparent Spiritual Power shield shattered before it could even hold for half an incense stick's time.
The sound of clicking echoed above the heads of the city's inhabitants.
Looking at the terrifying attack overhead.
The people in the city were terrified.
To them, this scene was nothing short of divine punishment.
An ordinary woman crouched under the eaves, holding a child who was crying incessantly.
The elderly man knelt shakily on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing towards the sky.
I wonder which deity they are praying to.
Several young cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm turned pale.
The Spiritual Power within his Dantian trembled incessantly, like a frightened bird.
They had no idea where to run to.
"Mother! Mother!"
A little girl with pigtails was separated from her by the crowd.
She stood in the middle of the street, looking around blankly, tears blurring her vision.
Above, the shattered protective barrier emitted a piercing creaking sound.
It seemed as if it could collapse completely at any moment.
The foul stench of the illusory Gu worms seeped into the city through the cracks, carrying a nauseating stench.
Fear spread like wildfire.
For the first time, ordinary people and cultivators in the city truly experienced death.
For over a century under the rule of the Dao Court, when Litian Prefecture City ever experienced this moment?
Those mortal cultivators who were born later simply could not comprehend how treacherous the Western Continent was before the Dao Court rose to power.
This was the most terrifying scene they had ever witnessed in their lives.
The already crumbling defensive formation shattered in this despair.
Above the city walls.
One after another, figures with striking presences were revealed before all the people.
"Hmph! You ants dare to even look at my face."
Looking at the city's protective formation that he had shattered with a single blow.
The elder's face showed even more disdain.
They immediately prepared to spare no effort and raze the city to the ground in one fell swoop.
The phantom of the Gu worm became even more swift under his command.
It pressed down hard on the people in the city.
In the midst of fear and despair, the voice of the Primordial Beginning resounded once more.
"Warning! The danger level has been detected as too high."
The protection level has been raised to the highest level.
"The comprehensive defense and strike unit has been activated, with all 10,000 defense and counterattack modules fully engaged."
"Please, the people of the city, do not panic and do not move around unnecessarily."
"Countdown to the strike: 3, 2, 1!"
The countdown came abruptly, and it ended just as abruptly.
Just three seconds later.
The entire Litian Prefecture City suddenly lit up.
The earth shook and churned, as if something underground was about to burst forth.
Meanwhile, higher up in the sky...
Even cultivators at the Void Return stage were unwilling to linger amidst the chaotic and sharp gales.
One after another, celestial-based spiritual objects shaped like naval cannons slowly lit up.
Countless sharp gales were frantically absorbed and gathered.
Then it shot fiercely into the sky.
As the ground continued to tremble, the earth churned.
A series of massive spirit core base stations were also exposed to everyone's view.
Yes, the entire Litian Prefecture City was actually built on top of a series of spiritual energy cores.
And with all these spiritual energy cores being activated.
Thick beams of spiritual light shot out simultaneously.
The counterattacks came from both above and below.
The immense Spiritual Power surge caused all the moisture in the air to evaporate instantly.
The terrifying pressure caused even the faces of these Void Return to become solemn.
The elder who had acted first hurriedly shouted.
"Be careful! These things are quite strong."
"We can't fight this head-on! Quick! Join me in resisting!"
