Chapter 630: Chapter 316: Spirit Demon-Slaying City
“`
As he heard the sound, Lin Yi had already opened his eyes, and his Divine Sense had long since sensed the situation around him. The Teleportation Array was really too smooth, it had traversed a vast distance in just a short while and had brought them over.
In Qinglian Spirit City before, he had only seen one Teleportation Array, but here in the Main Demon-Slaying City, there were eight Teleportation Arrays, each with many Cultivators lining up to enter.
Walking out of the Transmission Hall, he looked at the many Cultivators coming and going, and couldn’t help but exclaim; it truly was deserving of the title “main city,” far busier than Qinglian Spirit City.
According to the map, Spirit Demon-Slaying City was the most convenient passageway into the Human race’s territory. The other two Spirit Cities in the Demon Tribe’s domain, even if they were overrun, still had some natural dangers in the rear.
But Spirit Demon-Slaying City was different; once it was breached, there would hardly be any significant natural dangers to guard the rear, making it possible for the enemy to push straight through.
At the same time, some of the most powerful clans of the Demon Tribe lived in the direction of Spirit Demon-Slaying City, constantly aiming to replace the Human race and occupy that land rich with resources, which was precisely why this Spirit City was the main city.
Lin Yi walked slowly along the streets of the city, noticing not just the multitude of Cultivators but also that the streets were much wider. Moreover, almost every Cultivator was in a hurry, quite unlike the leisurely state of some Cultivators in Qinglian Spirit City.
From this, one could infer the danger of Spirit Demon-Slaying City; they probably faced strong offensives from the Demon Tribe frequently, or else Elder Peng wouldn’t have killed several Body Fusion Realm demons within a few thousand years.
After all, Body Fusion Realm was almost the pinnacle of combat power in the Spirit Profound Realm. A step further up was the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and the Great Cultivation Powers at this Realm mostly stayed in reclusion, preparing to cross the Tribulation and become Immortals.
Once they survived the Tribulation, they would become Mahayana Cultivators, and in the Spirit Profound Realm, they would be virtually invincible beings. Their Spiritual Power would also gradually transform into Immortal Power during the Mahayana stage, until, upon completion of the transformation, they would ascend in broad daylight and become true Immortals.
Killing a Body Fusion Realm Cultivator was extremely difficult, not to mention those of the physically strong Demon Tribe. Perhaps as Elder Peng had said, the battles in Spirit Demon-Slaying City were extremely fierce, and it was only by stepping over the bodies of their comrades that they could eliminate the Integration demons.
The sort of attack that Qinglian Spirit City faced could still be carried out within the City Protection Array, but the assaults on the Main Demon-Slaying City would be incredibly fierce. It wouldn’t be possible to hide within the City Protection Array for long, allowing the Monster Beasts to assault the Formation constantly.
Lin Yi planned to climb up the city walls of Spirit Demon-Slaying City to have a look; after all, he held Elder Peng’s Token, and it should be no problem for him. This was also to get an early understanding of the state of the Demon Tribe’s offensive that the main city was facing.
What was more important was that he wanted to confirm if any of the Monster Beasts attacking were those who had ascended from the Lower Realm. He had asked Zhao Yingchang from Flying Spirit Hall and some people in the Qinglian marketplace before and had received ambiguous answers.
Later, when he saw City Lord Yuan Qingquan and Elder Peng in the City Lord Mansion, he didn’t have the chance to inquire. Now, the City Guards in the Main Demon-Slaying City should know the precise answer.
Lin Yi walked slowly up to the city gate and was presented with an impressive scene. The entire Spirit Demon-Slaying City had three city gates, and within a certain range of the city gates, there were no buildings at all—vast and striking.
Furthermore, on this expansive ground, row after row of armored Guards continually replaced the City Guards on the walls. Some Guards were seriously injured and were being carried down after flying off the walls.
At this time, the three city gates were tightly shut, and he could feel the faint vibrations of the Formation; he could even see the various colors of Spells above the Formation. From the scenes before him, it was clear that the Demon Tribe’s attack had already begun.
He didn’t rush to climb the walls, instead using the Eye of Emptiness to see through the city gates and Formation to observe the situation outside.
Countless Monster Beasts rushed crazily towards the Spirit Demon-Slaying City, a terrifying, dense swarm. On the ground before the city, piles of Monster Beast corpses had accumulated.
Some Monster Beasts wore armor and shields, enough to withstand some Spells and Flying Sword attacks. There were even more powerful beasts that snatched the Flying Swords released by lower-tier Cultivators with their bare hands, smashing them with brute force, causing the Cultivators on the walls to suffer mentally, unable to continue their assault.
Suddenly, a Jiao Dragon soared into the sky, leaping above the city walls. It spewed poisonous water jets from its mouth, which even penetrated the defense Spells released by the City Guards.
A flaming Flying Sword soared into the air, releasing fierce flames that burned away both the water jets and the poison. Then, a Void Refinement Cultivator stepped on this Flying Sword, moved outside the Formation, and entangled in battle with the Jiao Dragon.
Seeing this Jiao Dragon made Lin Yi’s heart tighten, but he soon breathed a sigh of relief. This Jiao Dragon was green, whereas White Painting was entirely white.
If White Painting were to ascend to the Demon Tribe’s domain, who knew if they would meet the Human race on the battlefield in the future.
After experiencing the beast tide of Qinglian Spirit City, Lin Yi had expected greater pressure in the main city, but he hadn’t imagined it would be this immense.
These Monster Beasts were clearly fiercer than those at Qinglian Spirit City, and they had also started to use their brains, employing weapons instead of relying purely on brute strength.
At that moment, a Cultivator wearing purple armor, from the Divinity Transformation Realm, leading a group of Guards, came up to Lin Yi and said, “Fellow Daoist, as the Demon Tribe is attacking and the city gates are closed, if you wish to leave the city, please go back and wait. It’s too dangerous here.”
