Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Lu Zaian also suffered considerable injuries after killing the second-tier tortoise king.

His internal energy and blood were in turmoil, his fists were stained with blood, and his white bones were exposed.

However, this way, he can also legitimately ask for a rest.

"So? Now I'm qualified to stand here, aren't I?"

Lu Zaian confronted Hu Tian, ​​speaking slowly.

Hu Tian narrowed his eyes and stubbornly said:

"His brute strength was only just enough to subdue this old tortoise."

Even so, he didn't mention sending Lu Zai'an away again...

And so, the beast tide continued for two more days.

Lu Zaian also made several more moves during this period.

They killed a second-tier low-grade Shadowfang Wolf King, as well as countless first-tier demonic beasts.

Although I know I'm being used by the city lord's faction.

However, Lu Zaian also benefited from this, receiving half of the materials from all the monster corpses he killed.

This was a promise made publicly by the City Lord's faction, and they can't go back on their word.

They also gained a considerable amount of killing intent points from slaying demons.

As the Blood Slaughter Flow technique is gradually perfected, this killing intent value will be equivalent to the "spiritual energy" that one cultivates.

Moreover, Lu Zaian was also very clear-headed and would not exhaust himself, but would conserve some of his energy.

Although he was merely an avatar, he was fearless and undaunted by death.

But it's impossible for someone to be foolish enough to throw their life away for nothing.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of the effort the original entity had put into hatching it...

tenth day.

The beast tide's offensive began to weaken, leaving the plains outside the city walls littered with demon corpses, rivers of blood flowing, and a foul stench.

"Is the beast tide about to recede?!"

"We held on! We held on!!"

"Prepare to activate the formation; we need to go out and collect materials!"

The cultivators' faces lit up with joy, and they couldn't wait to shout it out.

After fighting for so many days, isn't this the day they've been waiting for?

They watched helplessly as the monsters they slew were full of treasures, yet they couldn't collect them immediately; their hearts were already itching with desire!

"I killed all those yellow-crowned snakes, don't try to take them from me!"

"I was also involved in killing this Tier 2 Golden Armored Crocodile; I want one of its teeth..."

"..."

Lu Zaian also stood on the city wall.

He watched the gradually thinning beast tide, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he were thinking about something.

'This can't be right? It's over just like that?'

What exactly is the City Lord's Mansion lineage hiding?

Is it simply a matter of conserving spiritual energy?

Just as Lu Zaian was still pondering, a sudden, earth-shaking tremor came from the horizon!

Thump—thump—thump!!!

"Oh my god!! What is that?!"

People stopped shouting and began to gaze into the far distance.

A tiny black dot appeared on the horizon.

The dark figure rampaged through the crowd, crushing everything in its path and rapidly magnifying in everyone's eyes!

That was a black bull demon beast, hundreds of feet tall, as majestic as a mountain!

His leather armor was as black as ink, and his muscles were like cast iron, with smooth and powerful lines.

A pair of symmetrical, curved bull horns on its head gleamed with an indestructible luster.

With each breath, a howling wind seemed to blow, as if it could suck all the surrounding air away.

The four hooves were like pillars supporting the sky, and the heavy hoofbeats sounded like war drums.

Each strike was heart-wrenching, breaking plants and shaking mountains and rivers...

It instilled an indescribable sense of oppression in everyone!

"A third...third...third...third-tier demonic beast!!!"

"Go back!!!"

Terrified screams rang out, and the crowd suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, rushing down the city wall!

A third-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator in the human race.

There are only a handful in the entire northern airspace, and each one is a terrifying force...

Lu Zaian also looked horrified and retreated quickly without hesitation!

"It's actually a third-tier great demon—the Black Xuan Water Buffalo! How could such a being exist in the beast tide? This doesn't make sense!"

If the beast tide was caused by a "great demon's patrol" that frightened the lower-level demons, then it was without purpose.

However, it just so happened that Huangze City was blocking the escape route of the beast tide.

Even though they were both third-tier great demons, the Black Xuan Water Buffalo was afraid of that powerful great demon deep in the swamp.

It is impossible for it to be so frightened that it loses its mind and comes to attack Huangze City.

The intelligence of a third-tier demon is no different from that of a high-level human cultivator, and its every move is not without purpose.

However, I don't have time to think about that now.

The black water buffalo charged forward with unstoppable force, lowering its head and charging its horns toward the city wall!

boom--! ! !

A deafening, earth-shattering collision resounded!

The Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Array on the city wall erupted with a sky full of radiant light, suddenly reaching its maximum operation, generating a magnificent and dazzling barrier to resist!

The aftershocks of the collision even created visible concentric rings of waves!

The ground within a ten-mile radius outside the city wall suddenly sank, cracking open huge ravines that spread in all directions!

Inside the city walls.

The scene was one of chaos, with people and horses falling, buildings collapsing, and dust flying everywhere!

Inside the array's central core, the three array masters all turned red in the face and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Controlling a third-order grand formation is extremely difficult, requiring them to focus their minds, and they are now suffering strong backlashes.

"Mr. Fan, are you alright?"

The old formation master was clearly the main force, and he was suffering the most severe backlash at this moment.

"Cough cough cough... I'm fine, but I'm afraid this formation can't withstand a few more blows."

Without reaching the third rank, we will ultimately be unable to fully control this Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Array, like a child swinging a sledgehammer…

Old Fan covered his mouth and coughed up blood, saying regretfully.

As he said, this is also the tragedy of most forces in the northern airspace.

The high-level formations left by their ancestors have become increasingly inferior to those of their descendants, who are unable to even fully control them.

West wall.

Fortunately, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Formation withstood the attack and isolated 90% of the aftershocks.

Only 10% of the shockwave spread in, and a small number of unlucky cultivators were affected, instantly turning into blood mist and dying a miserable death!

Because Lu Zaian had escaped in advance, he was far enough away to avoid injury.

Even so, he still felt his blood surging inside his body, his heart pounding wildly, as if he wanted to vomit!

A third-tier great demon, terrifying indeed!

If I'm not mistaken, the horns of this black water buffalo should contain the power of the demon race's innate divine ability, [Formation Breaking].

What a coincidence!

A third-tier demonic beast with the power of "Breaking Formation" is attacking Huangze City?

Several figures suddenly flew up from the city.

They were all elders from the City Lord's Mansion, their auras powerful, the weakest of whom was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Fu Kongzhi, the leader, had a gloomy expression and roared at the black water buffalo outside:

"You black ox, you usually hide deep in the marshes and never come out. Why are you acting like you have mad cow disease today? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Wasteland City!"

Third-tier demonic beasts can understand human speech and communicate through their souls.

This black bull's horns contain the innate supernatural power of "breaking formations".

If it continues to chisel like this, the formation will surely break in less than five strikes.

"Moo!!!"

The black ox disdained to answer the soul's question, and simply let out a long moo to the sky!

The sound was deafening; the sound waves alone triggered the formation's autonomous defense.

Seeing the black ox move its hundred-foot-long body, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, it slowly retreated a thousand feet away.
