Immediately, all the demonic beasts became bolder. Since the divine artifact was no longer being used, their actions became rampant.
Apart from the Multi-Handed Supreme and the fifteen Immortal Beasts who maintained a certain degree of rationality and merely watched the battlefield from afar, the other beasts were already attacking with all their might.
On the city walls, the pressure on the human race increased dramatically, with people screaming in agony every moment.
Mu Hua and the others were extremely anxious, but even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to be the first to provoke a war between immortals.
With a gust of wind, the void around Mu Hua rippled, and two more immortals of the High Immortal level appeared. However, after these two immortals, who had rushed over, spoke with Mu Hua and learned about the current situation, their faces immediately turned pale.
Under the immense pressure from the Multi-Handed Supreme Being, there was actually no difference between three immortals and five immortals.
Mu Hua moved swiftly and arrived beside Xiao Wenbing, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you should lead your people away."
"And what about you?"
“We…” Mu Hua smiled bitterly and said, “We had no choice.”
“You don’t have it, but I do.” Xiao Wenbing stopped talking. Instead, he slowly raised his left hand and then suddenly swung it down heavily.
As if receiving a command, tens of thousands of ascended immortals at the Integration stage finally began to activate the Spirit Gathering Array.
The spiritual energy in the celestial realm far surpasses that in the lower realm, its intensity being incomparable. As soon as this spirit-gathering array from the divine realm was activated, a strange and magnificent spectacle instantly appeared on the entire city wall.
The sky darkened rapidly, and a faint breeze began to blow around us. However, after only a few moments, the wind gradually picked up and even began to spread.
The strange changes here immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A tiger-headed, human-bodied earth immortal beside the Multi-Handed Supreme flattered, "Supreme is indeed insightful; humanity has undergone new changes once again."
"Haha..." The Multi-Handed Supreme laughed loudly, saying, "I have observed the human race for millions of years. They almost always resort to some unorthodox tactics. Hmph, these people are so cunning. If they could conquer Huangzhou City so easily, would I have waited until today?"
"Yes, yes..." All the demonic beasts responded respectfully, and even those who disagreed dared not utter a word of rebuttal.
"Your Majesty, what do we do now?"
"Wait." The Multi-Handed Supreme's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "Judging from the imposing presence on the city wall, if I'm not mistaken, this should be humanity's last resort. As long as we break through it in one fell swoop, victory is assured."
"Victory is assured in this battle..."
The roars of countless demonic beasts echoed throughout the heavens.
What are they yelling about?
Xiao Wenbing frowned, feeling very strange as he listened to the continuous shouts coming from ahead. Although he understood the interstellar common language, he couldn't understand the roars of beasts and the hiss of insects.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, that's the enemy shouting that they will win this battle."
"Oh, these monsters are really sensible."
"Knows what's good for you?" Mu Hua was taken aback, unable to understand what the other party meant by "knowing what's good for you."
"Since even these beasts know how to cheer me on, then of course I must win this battle," Xiao Wenbing said smugly.
Mu Hua and Mu Yun looked at each other, completely at a loss for words, unsure how to explain this to this arrogant person.
Countless rays of light gradually converged on the Qiankun Ring on Zhang Yaqi's wrist.
This peerless treasure, coveted by the Blade Soul, is like an unfathomable black hole, devouring all energy that comes its way, leaving nothing behind.
Mu Hua and his companion's expressions changed slightly. They naturally sensed the extremely powerful energy, and their gazes towards the Qiankun Ring immediately held a hint of awe.
With a slight lift of her slender hand and a gentle wave, a rainbow rose out of thin air, expanding at an incredible speed in an instant. Taking the area above the city wall as the boundary, all the demonic beasts that had not yet climbed onto the city wall seemed to have crashed into a thick wad of cotton, unable to exert any more strength.
The monsters were shocked and attacked with all their might. However, the dazzling rainbow, which seemed incredibly soft, turned into a steel plate and iron block once it was hit with great force. No matter how hard they tried, they could not budge it in the slightest.
Those demonic beasts that had already climbed onto the city walls fared even worse. Without reinforcements, they were quickly turned into mincemeat by the united and vengeful humans.
Seeing the actions of the human race, the Multi-Handed Supreme and the others were relieved. It turned out that creating such a grand display of power was merely to erect yet another protective shield.
Under the mocking gazes of these demonic beasts, the Multi-Handed Supreme laughed three times and flew back into the sky.
Countless eyes were fixed on the Multi-Handed Supreme, watching as a blue sphere of light, twice the size of the previous one, re-formed in front of it.
"Aww..."
Numerous demonic beasts roared and cheered for their master.
In contrast, all humans were immediately on edge, never expecting that when the Multi-Handed Supreme broke through the protective barrier of Huangzhou City, he hadn't even used half of his strength.
So, what kind of consequences will occur when this monster goes all out?
Looking at the seemingly thin but bright rainbow in front of them, their confidence began to waver.
With a wave of his hand, the blue orb of light crashed down on the rainbow like lightning.
"boom……"
Above the rainbow, a bright light appeared, like a pebble thrown into a well, creating ripples that spread in all directions.
The light faded, but the entire rainbow remained as vibrant and beautiful as ever, without the slightest damage.
All the ascended immortals glared back at the demon beasts with even more disdain. What was this attack? Just a tickle?
The Five Elements Guardian Array is a high-level formation that can withstand even a massive, continuous Heavenly Tribulation involving tens of thousands of people several times. No matter how powerful that Multi-Handed Supreme is, he is far inferior to a Heavenly Tribulation.
Moreover, now that they have ascended to the Immortal Realm, each of them has greatly increased their strength. With their combined efforts, their power far surpasses that of the past. Naturally, they would not take a mere Multi-Handed Supreme Being seriously.
quiet……
An eerie silence fell over the battlefield.
The cheers of the numerous demonic beasts were abruptly cut off by the sharpest blade; not a single one could utter a sound.
Countless gazes were fixed on the Multi-Handed Supreme, whose face was ashen and terrifying. The numerous demonic beasts closest to him involuntarily took a few steps back, fearing that they might provoke the overlord of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley and incur his wrath.
"oh……"
A thunderous cheer suddenly erupted from the human race.
Even Mu Hua and the others were filled with mixed surprise and delight as they gazed at the vast, beautiful rainbow that enveloped the entire city of Huangzhou. This outcome was something they had never anticipated.
Their gazes simultaneously fell upon Zhang Yaqi, who was hosting the rainbow shield. They never expected that this seemingly frail and charming young woman would possess such a magical treasure.
With a broad smile, Mu Hua asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what is this?"
"This is the Universe Ring."
"The Universe Ring, what a fine name!" Mu Hua praised. "Fellow Daoist Xiao is truly a divine being, capable of crafting even such a treasure."
Xiao Wenbing's happy smile suddenly froze. It turned out that this old man thought he had made the Qiankun Ring.
Glancing at the multicolored, swirling treasure circle, Xiao Wenbing sincerely thought, "If only I really had such a method."
"Mythical Beast, attack!" A furious roar echoed.
Despite the setback, the Multi-Handed Supreme was not discouraged; instead, he immediately issued an order to attack.
Instantly, hundreds of figures soared into the air, launching continuous attacks around the beautiful semi-circular rainbow.
Xiao Wenbing watched as countless figures buzzed around outside the rainbow circle like flies, and sneered inwardly, "If you can break the Five Elements Guardian Array, then I, Xiao Wenbing, will take your surname."
A sudden ripple appeared in the sky, and a figure abruptly appeared.
"Oh no!" Mu Hua exclaimed.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Mu Hua pointed at the person who had suddenly appeared in the air and seemed utterly bewildered, and exclaimed, "That's Zhang Hua. One of our Xuanji Sect's immortals. He's back to help, but he..."
Xiao Wenbing immediately understood that while the rainbow shield had kept countless demonic beasts out, it also prevented the returning immortals from entering.
Just as Xiao Wenbing was about to ask Zhang Yaqi to loosen the protective shield a little, he heard the Multi-Handed Supreme shout loudly.
The next moment, fifteen beast race immortals flashed and immediately surrounded the newly appeared human immortal.
Changhua's expression was quite amusing; he never imagined that upon his return, he would immediately find himself surrounded by beast demons.
Looking at these beasts and demons, each with a cultivation level no less than his own, and the multi-armed supreme being eyeing him menacingly in the distance, the core of Changhua immediately sank into despair.
In his view, although there was a strange protective shield above Huangzhou City, having never witnessed the power of the Five Elements Guardian Array, he did not believe that this beautiful thing could withstand the attacks of so many demonic beasts.
Therefore, when he saw those celestial beasts sporadically raising their protective shields, an extremely absurd thought even crossed his mind.
How did these beasts even learn the tactic of besieging a point to lure reinforcements...?
Volume 19, Chapter 14: Deception (Part 1)
------------------------
Inside Huangzhou City, Mu Hua immediately shouted, "No, we must bring them in!"
Xiao Wenbing understood clearly; Mu Hua had said "they," not "he." This meant that the old man was worried that if the situation continued, all the human reinforcements who had come to their aid would likely be wiped out one by one.
"Send a message via flying sword," Feng Baiyi said coldly. "Hurry up and send a message via flying sword to remind them."
Xiao Wenbing was overjoyed and clapped his hands, saying, "That's right! Quickly tell those idiots to pay attention; they're teleporting into the enemy camp like headless flies. They're incredibly stupid!"
Upon hearing Xiao Wenbing's words, Mu Hua's face immediately turned red. However, the entire Huangzhou City was now protected by Xiao Wenbing, and this person was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend. So he waved his hand. Countless bright spots were emitted from his hand almost simultaneously and then dissipated into space.
Seemingly having received the news, the other immortals also sent out their own messages, not to be outdone.
Several immortals quickly gathered together and exchanged a few words. Mu Hua said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, please open the protective barrier. We'll go out and try to see if we can bring Changhua back."
"Just you few..." Xiao Wenbing's gaze swept over them as he asked, "Are you confident?"
Those men sensed the disdain in Xiao Wenbing's words and their expressions changed drastically, but given his strength, they couldn't refute him.
"We must always do our best."
"No need."
The men's expressions changed again, still thinking that Xiao Wenbing disagreed. Mu Hua was about to continue nagging when Xiao Wenbing said, "If I let you out, but you get trapped again, wouldn't that cause even more trouble? In that case, why don't I go and give it a try?"
The immortals' faces flushed red and then paled, but they generally agreed with Xiao Wenbing's words. After all, they knew each other well and understood that going out would likely lead to certain doom.
On the contrary, if Xiao Wenbing, an ascended immortal, possessed a super treasure like the Rainbow Protective Shield, his chances of success might be much greater.
Xiao Wenbing waved his hand and took out a small earthworm from his ring. After pondering for a moment, he gestured to the earthworm.
The little earthworm grew rapidly. In no time, it had grown into a huge serpent. However, this time the serpent had transformed into a different form. Its scales were no longer pitch black, but instead shimmered with a faint golden light.
