The overall situation is indeed not optimistic.

Beiling Immortal City is larger than Longshan Immortal City, and has more cultivators and mortals.

However, as far as Lu Yuan knew, the city defense formations of each immortal city could generally only cover the core area of ​​the immortal city. The outermost area of ​​the immortal city where mortals lived was mostly not within the protection range.

This is because there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and also because the larger the scope of the protective formation, the more resources and even spiritual energy are consumed, and the power will be dispersed, making it difficult to maintain maximum power while covering the entire immortal city.

And now, even the two great gods of transformation are unable to stop the tide of corpses. No matter what the result is after this wave of impact reaches Beiling Immortal City, the mortals on the outermost edge will probably have no chance of survival.

Even if Lu Yuan no longer hides his cultivation methods, he cannot change this situation.

His thoughts were racing and his heart was heavy, but the flying boats under his feet and around him were all speeding at the highest speed, like meteors streaking across the sky.

"Oh no, a zombie is chasing us!"

Immediately afterwards, a monk cried out in surprise, and when everyone looked back, they saw a dark tide surging from the horizon behind them, led by two streams of light that were as black as ink and contained endless malice and ferocity.

"It's those two Heavenly Corpse Kings!"

Obviously, the delay and containment of the two Heavenly Monarchs had caused an accident. Although the other party was still dozens of miles away, it was not difficult for the Heavenly Corpse King to catch up with them. Yang Xianlin's slightly urgent divine thought transmission immediately swept across the sky:
"Divide the troops into five groups and retreat separately!"

There were as many as seven or eight thousand retreating monks and over a hundred flying boats. They were suddenly panicked after receiving the order, especially the four immortal cities that came to support. The True Lords took control of the flying boats at the first opportunity, and directly separated from the retreating force and flew in different directions.

As for the hundreds of flying boats of Beiling Immortal City, they all fled in all directions frantically like exploding fireworks.

However, most of these flying boats are low-level small flying boats. Even if they burn a large amount of spirit stones and start at full power, their flying speed cannot compare to the mid- and high-level flying boats, and they soon fall behind.

In just over ten breaths, the Skeleton Demon Girl and another Sky Corpse King from the far horizon came roaring over with strange laughter. With a simple wave of their hands, long spears of death shot out, instantly piercing the protective shield and even the hull of the flying boat.

As soon as the flying boat was broken, its speed suddenly dropped drastically. The low-level monks on it fled in panic like bees whose hive was broken. Unfortunately, the flying speed of these low-level monks was far slower than that of the flying boat. In the blink of an eye, they were caught by the two celestial corpses with their giant claws and tentacles transformed by corpse qi. Then, with desperate screams, their bodies quickly dried up and shriveled up, as if their essence, blood and vitality had been completely devoured.

In just a few moments, more than twenty flying boats were destroyed one after another by the two celestial corpses, and hundreds of monks from Beiling Immortal City were killed in a miserable way.

The others, who were unable to save themselves when crossing the river, were unable to help and could only take this opportunity to flee frantically. Even Yang Xianlin, the True Lord commander-in-chief, could only be furious and led several immortal boats to fly away quickly, not daring to stay.

Just like that, under the pursuit of the two Heavenly Corpse Kings, almost half of the cultivators of Beiling Immortal City were unable to escape, and all were beaten and fell from the sky. At least one or two thousand cultivators became the blood food of the two Heavenly Corpse Kings.

It was also because of them that other cultivators were able to escape and flee hundreds or thousands of miles at a very fast speed.

"That's unreasonable!"

The flying boats from Longshan Immortal City were also among the fastest to escape. Wei Bufan, who was pouring all his magic power into the bow of the boat to increase its speed, had a grim look on his face:
"When we get to Beiling Immortal City, we will make these beasts pay the price!"

On the flying boat, the other cultivators all had stern expressions and said nothing.

They knew that even if they returned to Beiling Immortal City, they would still have a tough battle to fight. If the other gods of the Immortal Alliance were slow to come to their aid, Beiling Immortal City would even be at risk of being breached.

By then, a huge gap will be torn in the entire border defense line, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In a heavy mood.

The flying boat sped all the way and in less than half an hour it had arrived back at Beiling Immortal City, where the entire magnificent immortal city could be seen.

Similar to Longshan Immortal City, the entire Beiling Immortal City was built on a fourth-order large spiritual vein, covering a total area of ​​300 miles. However, the outer areas were all inhabited by mortals, and only the inner area of ​​more than 100 miles was the main city of the immortal city.

At this moment, as if the message had been received in advance, a layer of rippling spiritual light lit up around the main city, like a swirling galaxy. In the midst of the beauty, a cruel murderous intent was revealed. It was obvious that the fairy city's protective formation had been activated.

"The Big Dipper Star Killing Formation has been activated. Fellow Taoists, follow me into the city to defend it!"

Not only Lu Yuan and his party arrived, but also Yang Xianlin, the Lord of Beiling Immortal City, and other flying boats from the immortal cities that came to provide assistance arrived one after another above the main city. Then, under Yang Xianlin's telepathic voice transmission, the so-called Big Dipper Star Killing Formation radiated light, and then a beam of immortal light extended from a certain location like a sky bridge, as if guiding these cultivators.

Without saying anything, the True Lords piloted the immortal boat along the sky bridge and smoothly entered the formation. Then, as soon as they entered, they saw Lingjian Tianjun sitting cross-legged on the altar that presided over the formation. His face was pale and his breath was weak.

On the altar next door, there was a lifelike figure emitting a faint red glow all over its body, sitting cross-legged and regulating its breathing, like a red jade sculpture.

The fiery red figure was obviously not a flesh and blood body. Yang Xianlin was shocked when he saw this:
"Lord Zhuhuo, what's wrong with you?!"

With only his spirit body left, Zhuhuo Tianjun smiled and said hoarsely:
"Nothing. That evil creature was more difficult to deal with than I thought. In order to delay time, I and Lingjian Tianjun almost fell into the hands of that evil creature. In the end, in order to escape, we had no choice but to use special means and give up that body."

Being able to force a God-Transforming Heavenly Lord to give up his physical body, the terrifying power of the Heavenly Corpse King who has never appeared before is unimaginable. No matter whether it is Yang Xianlin, Wei Bufan and other True Lord cultivators, or other Jindan cultivators, all of them are terrified.

Including Lu Yuan, they couldn't help but show some surprise.

After all, those who have cultivated to the level of the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years and mastered various secret methods, magical powers, and magical treasures. Whether it is fighting or life-saving methods, they are unimaginable for ordinary cultivators. It can be seen how terrifying the Heavenly Corpse King is that he can force a God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch to abandon his physical body at the end of his rope.

"Why are you looking so gloomy? I'm not dead yet!"

Seeing that most of the monks were furious and terrified, the hot-tempered Fire-Chasing Heavenly Monarch immediately shouted:
"You don't have to worry. Although my body is destroyed, my cultivation has not been compromised. In this Beiling Immortal City, I will rely on the Big Dipper Star Killing Formation. If that evildoer dares to come, he will be in big trouble!"

Lingjian Tianjun also said slowly:
"I have also received news that the Immortal Alliance has mobilized two Heavenly Monarchs, one of whom is the famous Douzhan Heavenly Monarch, who is in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. They will arrive within an hour at most. If that evil creature dares to attack the Immortal City, it will be destroyed in spirit and body, and will never be reincarnated!"

Fighting the Heavenly Lord! ?
This God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch is extremely famous in the Immortal Alliance. Not only does he have the cultivation level of God-Transforming, but he also has great military exploits. It is said that he has killed as many as eight fifth-order Heavenly Corpse Kings, which is an extremely amazing record in the Immortal Alliance.

Upon hearing this, all the Yuanying True Lords showed joy on their faces, and the Jindan cultivators who had been worried about how to resist the siege of the three Heavenly Corpse Kings also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, the three Heavenly Corpse Kings and even the corpse tide will probably arrive soon, so you should prepare as soon as possible."

Lingjian Tianjun waved his hand, and all the cultivators immediately agreed to leave.

Time was urgent. Yang Xianlin was about to give instructions to the cultivators, but Lu Yuan, who was inconspicuous in the crowd, suddenly spoke up:

"City Lord Yang, what should we do with the hundreds of millions of mortals outside the main city?"

Yang Xianlin was stunned for a moment and sighed:

"The space in the main city is limited. We have already relocated three million mortals some time ago, and the rest are still outside the main city. But now we don't have time to relocate the remaining mortals, so we can only..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone understood his meaning and fell silent.

Although there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and most cultivators do not take mortals seriously, millions is already an astonishing number. Not to mention that if so many mortals were eaten by the tide of corpses like food, it would inevitably lead to the appearance of more and more ferocious corpse demons.

But they also knew that given the current situation in Beiling Immortal City, they could not take care of these mortals at all and could only give up on them.

Hearing Yang Xianlin's answer, Lu Yuan's eyes were deep and he said nothing.

He knew that he could not blame the monks for their coldness and ruthlessness, and could only blame the distortion and weirdness of this world.

No one knows what is in his mind.

After returning to the city, these combat monks are no longer the main force. The Big Dipper Star Array can draw spiritual energy from the earth's veins to display its tremendous power, which mainly depends on the great monks who preside over the array.

Therefore, the main task of Lu Yuan and others became to guard the multiple external nodes of the formation, from which they could attack enemies outside the formation.

Just like that, in just a short moment, all the returning monks were in place, standing in the void, ready for battle.

Not long after that, an evil and ominous aura was seen spreading rapidly in the sky, approaching at a rapid speed with great momentum.

At first glance, the darkness was still far away in the horizon, but in a moment it expanded to cover the entire sky. Many cultivators above the Jindan stage only needed to sweep their spiritual senses to suddenly discover that it was led by a bone throne and two heavenly corpse kings. Thousands of corpse demons were flying wildly and roaring towards the Beiling Immortal City.

Obviously, the lowest-level corpse soldiers are still in the rear and cannot reach the Immortal City so quickly. Those brought by the three Heavenly Corpse Kings are corpse generals and above. Among them, there are third-level corpse kings and fourth-level heavenly corpses, and there are probably hundreds of them in total!
Under normal circumstances, the cultivators would have to pay a huge price to face such a powerful force. However, at this moment, they were all under the protection of the Big Dipper Star Array, so they did not panic.

Although they were still more than a hundred miles apart, under the protection of the corpse swarm and even the Heavenly Corpse King, the corpse's dark and empty divine thoughts on the bone throne swept over the fairy city like a tsunami:
"Two dignified Heavenly Lords, do you only know how to hide in your turtle shell?"

"So many lives, so much blood and souls, is this the gift you prepared for us? In that case, I will not be polite."

"Children, go!"

The cruel and violent divine consciousness swept across the sky, and behind his throne, large groups of powerful corpse demons roared and rushed out, and then rushed into the outermost area, the residential area of ​​countless mortals, like a tsunami.

They turned into torrents and rushed into buildings one after another. Under the horrible corrosion of corpse qi and death energy, the grass and trees withered, the houses decayed and collapsed, and all vitality was rapidly turning into dead silence.

Unimaginable gloom and malice, the breath of destruction, evil and death that had been brewing for hundreds and thousands of years, spread all over the place, along with all kinds of panicked or heart-wrenching screams and the earth-shaking roar. The black torrent swept across thousands of people with an overwhelming and destructive terrifying force, and then set off surging, chaotic and terrified shouts everywhere.

In fact, in order to deal with emergencies, many mortals under the protection of the Immortal City have dug underground tunnels and shelters in their own homes or even in multiple places. Several large shelters even have hidden magic arrays set up by high-level monks. This is to prevent the Immortal City from being hit by a tide of zombies in the worst case scenario, so that the mortals who don't have time to retreat to the Immortal City can have a chance of survival.

Most of the mortals who had received the order had already taken refuge in underground tunnels and shelters, but the ground cracked under the sweep of so many corpse general-level demons. Houses collapsed one after another, and thousands of mortals hiding in the cellars and tunnels were either buried or ran out in fear, and then either died on the spot from the corpse gas and fell to the ground, or were caught by the corpse demons and eaten.

In the outer areas, seven or eight million mortals were hiding. At this moment, they were fleeing from their nests like frightened ants. With the rumbling sound, large areas of houses were washed away and collapsed. On the streets, countless people were terrified to the extreme, with an urgent look on their faces to survive. They fled under the mad black torrent, but could only helplessly be swallowed up one by one.

Every time the black torrent passed a fork in the road, the bloody torrent would split into a stream and rush in another direction, once again setting off a round of terrified shouts. Tens of thousands of mortals, men, women, young and old, densely packed across the city were devoured miserably as soon as they came out, being eaten up, their bodies torn into pieces, and their blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground.

Even those who were lucky enough not to be discovered and driven out of the underground would die instantly due to the invasion of the dense and sinister corpse qi. Their bodies would soon be completely corroded by the corpse qi, and then they would turn into corpse demons and drill out from the ground, howling and pouncing on other mortals.
In just a dozen breaths, the outer area within a dozen miles turned into a hell on earth. Most of the cultivators in the main city array who used their spiritual sense to detect this scene were furious. Some cultivators who were born as mortals gnashed their teeth and said:
"These beasts." (End of this chapter)
