Chapter 624 The Truth Behind the City's Defense

"Golden Eagle Piercing the Sky! It's the Golden Eagle Piercing the Sky!"

"The Beast King is coming! Take cover!"

"Damn it, how are we going to hide now? The beast horde is attacking!"

"Continue firing the ballistae! Continue firing the ballistae!"

"Hold on! The Beast King and the Great Beast King are attacking too! Form a defensive formation! What's the point of running? If we can't hold out, we're all doomed!"

"Don't panic, don't lose your composure, the city lord will take action!"

"."

The sounds of fierce fighting mingled with the roars of warriors and the howls of ferocious beasts, making the entire battlefield increasingly chaotic.

When the true form of the Golden Eagle descended, it brought all of this to its peak.

That's the Beast King!

A being comparable to the third level of godhood.

With a single thought, an entire region can be wiped out; even under the extremely robust suppression of world laws in the ancient continent, the lives of an entire city's population can be easily erased.

In the ordinary universe, beings of this level would be able to roam among billions of stars, travel between star systems, and play among black holes and white holes.

It's not difficult to shatter an entire star.

Now, it faces a group of beast-blooded warriors.

A group of low-level extraordinary individuals, most of whom will never reach the Battle King realm in their lifetime.

If this were placed in the world of cultivation, it would be no different from the gap between a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Mahayana Earth Immortal.

There is a chasm between them caused by the different levels of life.

The sheer power emanating from the golden eagle as it soared through the sky was enough to make ordinary ferocious beasts and beast-blood warriors tremble and fall into boundless fear.

The kind of pressure that comes from the very essence of life cannot be resisted simply by willpower and a firm Dao heart.

Once one steps onto the Godhood Path, the ethereal and intangible aura can be completely materialized.

Ordinary life forms may even perish due to the inability to withstand the massive amount of "information" carried by higher-level life forms, resulting in the collapse of both their soul and body.

Under Qiu Shuang's command, countless warriors gritted their teeth and formed battle formations, releasing the crumbling souls of their ancestors to barely resist the terrifying pressure from the ferocious beast king.

A series of Mach rings formed a chain high in the sky.

The golden eagle broke through the sound barrier and swooped down towards the ground at supersonic speed, seemingly intent on destroying the city in one strike.

Having reached the inner layer, Crimson Fire and Green Grass's expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but want to reveal their cultivation levels to defend themselves.

This speed is truly astonishing.

Even if the opponent does nothing, but simply crashes into the ground at this speed, Radiant City could instantly become part of the dust of history.

Even if Crimson Fire and Green Grass Burning Life joined forces, they had no confidence that they could withstand the powerful Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle.

The opponent has at least reached the level of the Sky-Tearing Bear King from a year ago, or even surpassed it.

They had heard it from their fifth brother.

That means they've already stepped into the realm of top-tier beast kings, making them the first tier below beast gods.

'I'm afraid only Senior Mao Mao can kill this fiend!'

Green Grass and Crimson Fire thought the same thing at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, their blood cores already activated, their powerful blood and qi surging and flowing, ready to fight at any moment.

They had already made up their minds that the moment the city lord led his so-called elite squad to attack, the two of them would launch attacks on the Golden Eagle's vital points from two different directions.

If we can break through the opponent's superficial defenses by exploiting their weaknesses, there may still be room for maneuver.

Whether it's the Crimson Fire's Ancestral War Spear or the Green Grass's Phoenix True Fire, both have the potential to penetrate the Beast King's defenses and even inflict further serious damage.

All I need is an opportunity.

As Cat Master mentioned before, bird-type ferocious beasts generally focus on speed and burst damage, while their defense is generally weak.

If the right opportunity is found, there is still a chance to turn things around!

I can only hope that the combined attack formation that the city lord and the elite squad can unleash truly has the strength to contend with the Beast King.

Chi Huo and Qing Cao had already seen several people emerge from the inner city and take their positions beside the highest ancestral sacred fire in the center of the city.

The array's core was formed by a woman radiating a powerful aura and clad in jet-black armor.

The weapon in her hand was also a long spear!
She must be the city lord, a powerful warrior at the level of a Battle Emperor.

The remaining six all exuded the aura of War Kings, and also used guns as weapons, inheriting the weapon style of the Blazing Flame War Venerable thousands of years ago.

Led by the centurion, the combined attack formation of dozens of low-ranking beast warriors possessed the strength to rival the Beast King.

The battle formation led by Qiu Shuang was even capable of rivaling the Great Beast King.

A battle formation personally led by a city lord of War Emperor level might actually have a chance to defeat the Beast Emperor!
Just as Chi Yan and Qing Cao were secretly gathering their strength and preparing to make their move, the scene before them suddenly left them somewhat bewildered.

A golden eagle, carrying a powerful aura, descended from the sky. The extreme speed and resulting wind pressure caused the buildings in the city to tilt and almost crushed the city walls into a pile of rubble.

However, instead of using its overwhelming aura to break through the battle formation formed by the city lord and others, the enemy headed straight for the corner between the west and north city walls.

"boom!"

In an instant, the lightning-fast Golden Eagle tore through the city's protective array, which even the Great Beast King could slow down, and flattened nearly half of the two sections of the city wall with a single strike!

The corner where the two sections of the city wall once met is now just a bottomless ravine!

The sacred flame of the ancestors, which was placed at the corner of the city wall, disappeared without a trace, and the entire protective formation was almost destroyed in an instant.

With one corner missing, the great formation was no longer able to maintain its perfect defensive state, and the intensity of the crimson light membrane in many places was decreasing at a visible rate. In an instant, the pressure on the city wall's defenses increased dramatically.

If it weren't for the terrifying aftershocks of the Beast King's attack, which indiscriminately spread between friend and foe, the three layers of beast hordes outside the city might have already rushed into the city through the breach in the wall and advanced unimpeded.

"call!"

The golden eagle's figure was like a golden lightning bolt. After destroying the city wall, its golden wings suddenly stirred up a storm of fire.

The intense heat evaporated flesh and blood, and the raging flames engulfed the remaining northern city wall.

"Suck!"

Suddenly, an immense suction force emanated from the sharp beak, and the fierce fiery hurricane reversed in an instant, sending countless warriors and ferocious beasts that had barely withstood the first wave of flames flying backward.

Their bodies were like balloons stretched to their limit, exploding one after another in mid-air, blasting out clouds of viscous blood mist.

Its flesh, organs, and soul were all sucked up and swallowed whole by the Golden Eagle that pierced the sky.

Chi Huo and Qing Cao looked at each other, both seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

This golden eagle emperor that pierces the sky seems to have no fighting spirit?
It seemed to have no intention of fighting at all, as if it had simply come to eat.

Even before it landed and destroyed the city wall, it deliberately slowed down to give itself a moment to devour the beast warriors on the wall before finally destroying it completely.

And
Has the other person gone mad?!

How could they not even spare their own subordinates? The ferocious beast horde was indiscriminately slaughtered at the same time!
Lacking much social experience, they sensed something was almost instinctively wrong at that moment.

That was the killing instinct left over from years of hunting, a ferocious beast-like intuition.

Things shouldn't have turned out this way.

The beast king's behavior and actions revealed something wrong with everything.

"You beast! Stop your arrogance! Take this!"

The squad led by the city lord finally completed the formation of the battle formation at this time.

The ancestral war spirit, towering over 100 meters tall, rose from the inner city like a colossal giant, almost merging with the ancestral sacred fire, its entire body ablaze with raging flames.

The spear tore through the air with a terrifying whistling sound, heading straight for the golden eagle piercing the sky!

"Keng!"

The clanging of metal on metal swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, piercing the eardrums.

Upon impact, the fire giant leaned back, seemingly staggered.

The Golden Eagle pierced the sky let out a disdainful screech, then spat out another mouthful of flames before inhaling them back.

They immediately began devouring the city's inhabitants!
The city lord seemed taken aback, not expecting that his attack would be blocked so easily by the opponent, and even the fire giant paused for a moment.

Then, the city lord roared again and once again gripped his spear, charging towards the Golden Eagle that pierced the sky.

For a time, the Flame Giant and the Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle were locked in a fierce battle.

Even though the city lord and others tried their best to resist, they still could not stop the golden eagle from devouring the people.

In just a few minutes, the North City was almost completely devoured!
The chaotic crowd began to flee south of the city in droves.

The Beast King stormed into the city.

The city lord is leading his elite squad, relying on the combined attack formation of the ancestral sacred fire and the city's protective array to put up a tenacious resistance, attempting to repel them.

This is the view of ordinary people and the beast warriors who are fighting a bloody battle.

Crimson Fire and Green Grass, the two Seven Seal War Emperors who could truly see what had happened, felt a chill run through their bodies.

They clearly sensed that the battle between the two sides was nothing more than a rehearsed performance!
You and I were exchanging blows in a lively exchange, yet not a single injury was visible!
They clearly saw that the one with the cultivation of a War Emperor was having some kind of conversation with the Golden Eagle that Pierces the Sky!

"Eagle King, you have already devoured more than a quarter of the population and warriors of the outer city, and even a War King. Shouldn't you be satisfied now?"

The armored city lord parted his cherry lips slightly, uttering a sound that sounded almost pleading.

"No more. Another emperor just came last night. You have broken the established rules this time. My Radiant City has suffered a great loss and will not recover for at least ten years."

"Satisfaction? Rules? Ha, to hell with rules, what's the point of talking about rules at a time like this!" Golden Eagle replied while eating, "Don't worry, I'll run away after I've eaten a third of it, the rest is for those two guys."

Upon hearing this, the city lord trembled, and the other war kings were even more terrified, their faces showing expressions of horror.

"Eagle King, this! This! How could it be that our century-long cooperation has not been pleasant enough? Where exactly have we offended the three kings?" The city lord's tone was extremely humble.

The Golden Eagle sneered, "Offend? No, it's just that a monster from the west has attacked. The Beast Kings of the Ancient Western Continent have been almost wiped out, and the entire Western Continent is now ruled by the Wolf Clan. The black-gold monster leading the pack will become the Wolf God sooner or later. Are we going to stay here and wait to die instead of running away?"

"The Beast God!?" The city lord froze instantly. "The entire Western Continent has fallen into the hands of the Wolf Clan! It's all ruined. They still need resources and time over there."

The Golden Eagle took another bite, exchanged a few blows with the Flame Giant, and continued, "Considering our many years of pleasant cooperation, here's a piece of advice—pack your things and run. We'll take care of your kin; we won't waste them. That wolf clan is already close by. They won't leave any subordinate groups alive, except for those of their own kind that can be absorbed into their fortune. Staying means certain death!"

"Once I devour one-third of the human race in these five cities, the spiritual energy I gain will be enough to elevate my comprehension to a new level. If I can seize another race in the central continent and rebuild it, with the help of a deeper power of fortune, higher comprehension, and better spiritual veins, I may well have a chance to become a true Eagle Emperor, or even step into the realm of Eagle God!"

"Eagle King, wait! Things may not be as bad as they seem!" the city lord suddenly screamed. "After we cross the fortress, our human race still has influence there. The reason why Radiant City has been able to rapidly replenish its population in recent years is because of that support. Our human race also has War Venerable experts who are no less powerful than you!"

"What good is that? Unless your human War Venerables are as powerful as the Blazing Flame War Venerable from three thousand years ago, you will still be doomed." The Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle scoffed at this. "Moreover, if your human race really had such a master, why didn't you annihilate us, but instead sent you and your ancestors?"

The city lord bit his lip hard, mustered his courage, and said in a trembling voice, "Sending us to take up our posts as city lords, and continuously sending civilians and warriors from the heart of the human race, is to reduce internal resource consumption and also to stimulate resource generation!"

“My husband holds a high position within the human race. He recently sent me a message saying that the human race has gained a foothold in the central continent, and its fortune is showing signs of transforming into a dragon. The imperial city is preparing for the ancestor's ascension to the God of War!”

"Once the Ancestor completes his ascension, he will be truly qualified to compete for the hegemony of the continent. Our human race's strategy will also shift to the offensive, completely abolishing the current border farming system and focusing solely on proactive harvesting."

“Eagle King, I will no longer hide it from you. You ferocious beast kings thought that the human race was weak and regarded my five cities in the western region as a breeding ground. In fact, you are also part of my human race’s breeding plan.”

"Those warriors and civilians are the nourishment for the Beast King, and the Beast King is also the nourishment for our race's War Venerables and War Emperors to advance."

"Do you think the previous generations of emperors before you disappeared mysteriously? They were simply harvested by our human race's strongmen after they had reached their full potential. Once you become the peak Beast Emperor, even if the wolf clan doesn't come, you will still not escape death."

"Take me and my men and fly over the fortified peaks into the heart of the human realm. I can introduce you to the human high command and ensure your safety!"
