saint of humanity

The Star Abyss is vast and boundless, mostly desolate and empty, yet there are also bustling places.

But if we're talking about the most bustling place, then besides the Hehe Realm, it's the territory of Holy Dragon City.

Dragon City has stood for countless millennia, its powerful strength, solid foundation, and ample prestige naturally attracting countless cultivators.

But today, this territory is empty and desolate, devoid of its former prosperity, with only the vast Holy Dragon City standing alone.

The city's grand formation had already been activated, and a faintly glowing light screen enveloped the entire city like a dome.

On the square in front of the city, the Dragon King stood solemnly awaiting the arrival.

More than a dozen streaks of light quickly appeared in their field of vision, and as those streaks of light approached, their aura as demigods became unmistakable.

Before long, the many streams of light arrived, and the two at the front were none other than Mo Duo and Ming Feng.

These two Origin Realm Half-Saints, having shaken off their previous dishevelment and dejection, were now full of energy, as if they had returned to the high spirits they had when they first entered the Star Abyss.

Behind the two, more than a dozen cultivators stood silently, their expressions wooden and stiff, their eyes slightly dark. These were none other than the puppet half-saints.

Separated by a protective light barrier, Modo and Mingfeng looked at each other without saying a word, only raising their hands and waving gently.

This great battle, later known as the Battle of Dragon City, which was enough to rewrite the entire situation of Xingyuan, thus began.

From Modo and Mingfeng's perspective, they had only met the Dragon Lord once, and before that, they didn't even know each other. So, it's no surprise that they brought puppets to attack this time; it's just a matter of different positions.

The same applies to the Dragon Lord's side. If they know each other or have any grudges, they can exchange harsh words and have a verbal battle. Since it's a matter of the victor and the vanquished, then let's fight.

More than a dozen puppet demigods attacked at the same time. Such a grand scene was unprecedented in history. Even though Holy Dragon City had mobilized all its strong warriors to protect the city, the light barrier was still rippled by the attack in a short time.

The Dragon Lord observed secretly.

Since its founding by the second-generation ancestor Yang Qing, Holy Dragon City's protective array has never been breached. With countless years of accumulation and refinement, if Holy Dragon City claims to be second in terms of protective power, no one in the entire Star Abyss would dare to claim to be first.

Even so, under the fierce attack of more than ten puppet half-saints, the strength of the array's light barrier was gradually being depleted.

The Dragon Lord was secretly alarmed.

This situation only improved slightly after news arrived that Xue Jiu and Si Shengya, who had rushed from Phoenix Nest, had joined the ranks of those in charge.

However, this is only an improvement and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. If the situation continues like this, within ten days to half a month, the defenses of Holy Dragon City will still be breached, and at that time, it will be a battle between the two half-saints.

We are at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, and if a real fight breaks out, it will definitely not be a good thing.

The only hope that Long Zun can place on right now is Lu Ye, but Lu Ye has been healing since returning to Phoenix Nest, and he doesn't know when Lu Ye will recover.

News of such a great battle had already spread throughout the entire Star Abyss, and countless cultivators rushed from all directions to watch from afar.

No one dared to get too close. The aftershocks of the demigod's siege were no small matter, and anyone who got caught up in it would surely come to a bad end.

Outside Holy Dragon City, Mo Duo and Ming Feng watched leisurely, feeling that their hard times were finally over. Just a few days ago, they were still filled with fear and were preparing to wander the world, but now they were leading more than ten puppet half-saints to launch a strong attack on Holy Dragon City.

Moreover, they don't need to take any risks; they can simply sit here and watch, while those puppets do the work.

"Mingfeng, how many days do you think Holy Dragon City can hold out?" Mo Duo asked, having nothing better to do.

Without a second thought, Mingfeng replied, "It will be broken within ten days!"

Mo Duo nodded slightly: "That's about what I thought."

Mingfeng said, "That's true, but can these guys really withstand such an intense siege?"

Even a half-saint has a limit to his Dao power reserves. The current frenzied siege, with the puppets going all out, is too intense and will inevitably consume a lot of Dao power. So Mingfeng is a little worried that the puppets might be exhausted one by one.

If that's the case, the failure of the siege is secondary; if those few in Holy Dragon City seize the opportunity to break out, then no one will be able to stop them.

"It seems you haven't noticed yet." Mo Duo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What is it?" Mingfeng asked, puzzled.

“Take a closer look at those puppets,” Modo gestured.

Mingfeng frowned, but still observed carefully. After a moment, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "These guys... are actually relying more on external forces!"

“After all, they are puppets!” Mo Duo sighed. “The aura of the Star Abyss is omnipresent, so it is naturally easier and more convenient for them to mobilize external forces. This can be considered a trade-off.”

Upon hearing this, Mingfeng couldn't help but purse his lips.

Although he envied the convenience and advantages these puppets had in mobilizing external forces, he could not accept sacrificing his own intelligence and becoming a puppet of the Abyss.

However, this completely dispelled his previous worries.

Although these puppets are not yet very stable, they can rely more on external forces, which will reduce their own consumption during sieges.

Naturally, you'll be able to hold on for longer.

Given the current situation, let alone ten days or half a month, the puppets could easily hold out for a month.

In this way, Holy Dragon City will fall sooner or later.

The bee was overjoyed!

However, just half a day later, both Modo and Mingfeng suddenly discovered that the defenses of Holy Dragon City seemed to have become much stronger, which puzzled the two Origin Realm Half-Saints.

This situation indicates that more powerful individuals have joined the protective ranks within Holy Dragon City, and they are at least at the semi-saint level, and there are more than one.

But now, where are there any more Half-Saints in this Star Abyss? And yet, they've all gone to help Holy Dragon City.

As the two were puzzled, inside Dragon City, Dragon Lord clasped his hands in a salute: "Thank you for your help, Master Qin."

Qin Feng, who was stationed in a key array, channeled his power into it. He smiled upon hearing this and said, "You're too kind, Dragon Lord. Although we haven't had much personal interaction in the past, we now need to work together. Not only me, but also Fellow Daoist Mu and Fellow Daoist Huan are in the same boat, which is why we came to help."

Not far from him, Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi, who had once received help from Lu Ye, were also in the same row, each sitting in the center of the formation.

When the Hehe Realm underwent an anomaly, most of the powerful figures fled immediately and were subsequently corrupted. Qin Feng, Mu Yun Gui, Huan Cai Yi, and others delayed for several days until Lu Ye arrived.

Therefore, the three of them advanced to the demigod level a few days later than the puppets.

After breaking through, Qin Feng immediately contacted Longcheng, and also contacted Mu Yungui and Huan Caiyi, which led to the three of them appearing in Longcheng to lend their support.

"Where's Xiao Ye?" Qin Feng asked again.

His visit to Longcheng this time was unusual as he did not see Lu Ye.

Long Zun sighed, "When Lu Ye attacked Qianliu City a few days ago, he was ambushed by Lu Sheng and is currently recuperating at Phoenix Nest."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng, Mu Huan, and the other two all changed their expressions.

Qin Feng asked anxiously, "Is he alright?"

The Dragon Lord said solemnly, "He said he was fine, but the one who attacked him was a True Saint, so his injuries are probably not so optimistic."

Qin Feng's heart sank to the bottom. He finally understood why Lu Ye wasn't here, but given the current situation, there was no use worrying. He could only focus on doing his own thing first.

Just as the Dragon Lord was about to say something more, he suddenly froze, then his expression changed drastically: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

Dragon Lord said, "Several more puppet demigods have arrived from various places!"

In preparation for today's battle, Dragon City dispersed many surrounding Dao-Merging Cities to avoid being affected by the great battle. Those Dao-Merging Cities scattered in the distance naturally became its eyes and ears.

It's clear that the Dragon Lord just received some information.

Qin Feng sighed slightly: "What's meant to happen will happen." He had considered this matter when he came, because the number of powerful figures who had been living in seclusion in the Hehe Realm was far more than those who had attacked the city.

The quantity should be at least several times greater.

However, these puppets advanced to the demigod realm at different times. The dozen or so outside were probably among the first to advance, which is why they were able to participate in the Battle of Thousand Streams City and were subsequently brought here by Modo and Mingfeng.

However, there are many more puppets hidden throughout the Star Abyss, and once those puppets successfully advance, they will inevitably take action.

This is only a few more digits.

If time continues to pass, I'm afraid more and more puppets will come.

The situation in Holy Dragon City is already not good. Although we can continue to hold on, there will eventually be a limit, and the enemy's strength will only get stronger.

As Qin Feng finished speaking, Long Zun paused again, then gave a bitter laugh: "This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly, and to make matters worse, there's another piece of bad news..."

Qin Feng chuckled: "The situation can't get any worse. Dragon Lord, why don't you tell us what happened?"

Dragon Lord sighed, "Just now, it seems the fusion of the Origin Realm has taken another step forward; a group of Half-Saints have arrived from over there!"

Yang Zhao has remained in the Origin Realm fusion area ever since he was ordered by Lu Ye to keep watch.

This message was undoubtedly delivered by him through the Dragon Decree.

Several months have passed since Xue Jiu and his group last came. The fusion of the Origin Realm has been ongoing, but progress has not been very fast. Today, there have probably been some breakthrough changes, which is why a second batch of half-saints has descended upon the Star Abyss.

These demigods are not like those puppets; each of them has lived in the Origin Realm for countless years.

Qin Feng let out a soft sigh: "The situation is fraught with difficulties!"

The arrival of even more puppets alone might make it difficult for Dragon City to hold out, not to mention the arrival of a half-saint from the Origin Realm.

If these two forces were to merge, they would be enough to sweep away the entire Star Abyss.

"Dragon Lord, it's time to make preparations!" Qin Feng said solemnly.

The Dragon Lord remained silent for a few moments, then nodded slightly: "Indeed, we need to prepare as soon as possible."

Since it is known that it cannot be defended, it is naturally impossible to force it, otherwise it would be a pointless death.

But this Holy Dragon City was founded by the Second Ancestor, and it has existed almost since the birth of the universe, passed down through generations to him. If he weren't forced into it, why would he willingly abandon this legacy belonging to the dragon race? (End of Chapter)
