saint of humanity

Amidst the roar, the blood-red spear that was charging towards the Dragon Lord was blocked by the light barrier, and was only three zhang away from the Dragon Lord.

In other words, Xue Wei, who was holding a gun, was about this distance from Long Zun, almost face to face!
Yet this negligible distance became an insurmountable barrier preventing Xue Wei from killing the Dragon Lord.

Holy Dragon City was founded by Yang Qing, the second ancestor of the Dragon Clan. It has been passed down for countless millennia. While it may not be said to have existed as long as the universe, it is not far removed in terms of time.

Over the years, the scale of this Hedao City has grown beyond imagination.

Beyond the main city, there are many auxiliary cities. Only when all these facilities are combined can it be called Holy Dragon City.

This was originally the first Dao Integration City in Xingyuan.

Previously, the first layer of protective array covered the entire Holy Dragon City, but now this second layer of light curtain only covers the area of ​​Holy Dragon City itself.

Xue Wei suddenly realized: "So this is what you're relying on, such a powerful formation!"

No wonder the Dragon Lord remained calm and composed even when the protective array was on the verge of collapse; he could activate the second layer of the array at any time, so he was naturally fearless.

Looking up, Xue Wei frowned slightly, because she could clearly sense that the second layer of the formation was much more solid and sturdy than the first layer.

No wonder.

In comparison, the first layer of the array protects a much larger area, covering the entire Dragon City, while the second layer only covers the main city of Holy Dragon City. As a result, it is naturally more solid and robust.

"So what if it is?" Dragon Lord looked at Blood Rose indifferently.

Xue Wei snorted coldly, neatly put away her blood-red spear, turned and left, her voice saying, "I want to see how long this formation can last."

Behind them, multicolored light emanated from numerous puppet demigods continuously attacking. Without the orders of Xue Wei and the others, these puppets never stopped their assault on the city.

The aftershocks of the violence swept through, tearing apart and shattering the numerous auxiliary cities and various buildings layer by layer.

The once-great Dragon City is shrinking at a visible rate.

Inside the great array of light, watching Xue Wei's departing figure, the Dragon Lord slowly exhaled. Despite his calm demeanor, he was actually quite nervous inside.

After all, Dragon City has never faced such a great crisis since ancient times.

In order to cope with this calamity, Dragon City has almost exhausted all its resources. The setting of this multi-layered formation was perfected step by step by the first few generations of the Dragon Clan's ancestors. No one expected it to play a role today.

He tilted his head slightly, looking towards the direction of the river of time within the city. Whether he could protect the legacy left by his ancestors and the legacy passed down through generations of his clan depended on Lu Ye.

"Fellow Daoist Xingzhou, in your opinion, how long can this second layer of the great formation last?" Outside Dragon City, Xuewei returned and looked at Xingzhou.

Xingzhou had clearly anticipated this, and upon hearing it, he replied without hesitation, "Judging from the current situation, we can hold out for about three days."

Xue Wei nodded, sharing the same assessment, and said coldly, "Then we'll wait three days!"

She had charged out first, intending to kill the Dragon Lord directly, but to her dismay, she returned empty-handed. With so many half-saints watching, she felt somewhat embarrassed, and now she could hardly suppress her murderous intent.

But it doesn't matter, it'll only take three days anyway.

After three days, when this second layer of the great formation is broken, let's see if the Dragon Lord can still laugh.

"Hmm?" Just then, Fei's eyes suddenly widened.

Not only did he notice the anomaly, but all ten demigods present also noticed it and turned their attention to the River of Time.

Suddenly, a figure tumbled out of the ethereal, traceless river, then swept into the interior of Dragon City without stopping and disappeared.

"How can there still be people in the long river of time?" Fei asked, puzzled.

“Mingfeng, who is that person?” Xuewei asked immediately.

How could Mingfeng know who that person was? Although he saw it clearly, it was a completely unfamiliar face. After all, the only people he knew in Xingyuan were Lu Ye and a few others.

But in the current situation, how could anyone easily emerge from this extremely mysterious river of time?
Leaving aside the astonishment and uncertainty of Xue Wei and many other half-saints, Lu Ye was extremely anxious within the long river of time.

He sent many powerful members of the Dragon Clan into his inner world one by one. Although each of them had the potential to advance to the level of a half-saint, their foundations were ultimately different.

Patriarchs like Yang Lie (the Third Patriarch) and Zhu Pang (the Fifth Patriarch) were undoubtedly the two with the most profound foundations, which is why they were able to break through first.

The subsequent dragon ancestors were also quite remarkable.

However, since their backgrounds are different, their promotion times will vary.

Now, another person has finally achieved a promotion and breakthrough.

Although he was within the River of Time, Lu Ye still had a thorough understanding of the situation in Dragon City thanks to the power of the Tower of Time. Therefore, as soon as this elder, who was from the same era as the seventh generation ancestor of the Dragon Clan, broke through, Lu Ye sent him out.

The reason is simple: with an additional half-saint guarding the city's great formation, the defensive power increases, thus allowing them to buy more time.

This dragon elder, who lived at the same time as the seventh ancestor, was the first to break through during this siege. In the following three days, Lu Ye sent out more than ten dragon half-saints one after another.

This scene left Xue Wei and the others completely dumbfounded.

All their intelligence came from Mingfeng. In their understanding, there were only nine half-saints in Dragon City, led by Si Shengyuan.

But why are there more than a dozen now? And they've all emerged gradually over time.

No one knew what was going on, not even Xingzhou, who knew Xingyuan the most, could explain it.

However, when these dozen or so dragon clan demigods appeared, Xue Wei and the others took a closer look and could clearly sense that their auras were unstable, indicating that they had all just advanced and broken through.

With the appearance of these dragon demigods, the strength of the protective light barrier has been significantly enhanced.

Under these circumstances, the second layer of protective light curtain lasted for three and a half days, half a day longer than Xingzhou and Xuewei had expected.

However, this great formation was bound to break eventually.

When the light curtain dimmed considerably, as if it might break at any moment, the Dragon Lord, who had been standing motionless, finally moved.

He turned around and walked inside, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

Upon seeing this, Xue Wei suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Three breaths later, almost the instant the second layer of protective light barrier was breached, she suddenly moved, just like three and a half days ago, transforming into a streak of blood light and rushing straight towards the direction of the Dragon Lord.

Almost simultaneously, the Dragon Lord stopped again, turned around and looked back.

Before my eyes, a blood-red streak had already reached me, a situation almost identical to what had happened before.

Even more similarly, a protective light barrier appeared not far in front of the Dragon Lord. The blood-red spear, which was carrying a violent attack, pierced the light barrier and slightly dented it, but was ultimately blocked.

Blood Rose gritted her teeth.

the third floor!
Dragon Lord's lips curled into a mocking smile: "What? You're so eager to kill me?"

Xue Wei's chest heaved violently, clearly she was furious. This time, however, she was too lazy to waste any more words with the Dragon Lord and simply turned and left.

Compared to the second layer, this third layer of light curtain is more solid and robust.

It took them three and a half days to break through the second layer of light barrier, and it will probably take even longer to break through the third layer.

However... that's all for now!

Because Xue Wei had already realized that this was definitely Dragon City's last line of defense, and the area covered by the protective light barrier was also the most core area of ​​Dragon City.

Once this layer of protection is breached, Dragon City will have no more barriers to rely on.

Under the ferocious onslaught of those puppet demigods, the once vast Dragon City was stripped of many auxiliary cities, resulting in a significant decline in its size.

Now that the second layer of protection has been lost, more areas have been destroyed.

In just over an hour, the vast Dragon City was reduced to only the area covered by the third layer of protection.

Compared to before this battle, the current size of Longcheng is less than half of what it was originally.

If an uninformed person were to come and see this, they would never believe that this is the famous Dragon City, because the current scale of Dragon City looks to be comparable to that of an ordinary cosmic-level city.

However, this small area has now gathered more than thirty semi-saints.

Apart from the initial batch, the rest have all emerged from the long river of time in the past few days.

Within the long river of time, the power of the Tower of Time can be maximized. Currently, the flow of time within Lu Ye's inner world is ridiculously fast, and the Dragon Clan itself cultivates the Way of Time, which is why they have achieved such results.

It is precisely because there are more than thirty demigods guarding the city that Dragon City's last layer of defense is so solid.

However, this is not the total number of demigods!

Within Lu Ye's inner world, there are still half-saints who have not yet emerged.

It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding it, but rather that the Dragon City protective array had its limits; it couldn't support too many half-saints joining, and thirty or so was already the maximum.

Under such circumstances, even if more demigods join, the strength of the protective array will not increase.

Since that's the case, Lu Ye simply let them remain in the inner world.

"Little Ye, we can probably hold out for another six or seven days!" Dragon Lord whispered.

Within the long river of time, Lu Ye nodded slightly: "Almost done!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord felt much more at ease.

Since Lu Ye said so, he must be confident, which means that Dragon City has a chance to be saved.

The only problem right now is that the enemy has a lot of strong fighters.

Longcheng cannot remain on the defensive indefinitely. No matter how strong the defense is, it will eventually be breached when attacked by such a large group of enemies.

Therefore, as long as the opportunity is right, our side should still launch an attack in order to protect Longcheng.

If we're going to launch an offensive, it means there will be direct and head-on confrontations.

Given this situation, Xingzhou will definitely have to be handed over to Sisheng, but what about Xuewei and Fei? And that Mingfeng is not someone to be trifled with either.

Lu Ye should be able to hold off one of them, but what about the remaining two? And what about the other six Origin Realm Half-Saints? (End of Chapter)
