Chapter 1824: Chapter 479: Defend to the Death

"Is Master going as well?"

Upon hearing the words of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, Gu Mofan and the other two were shocked, somewhat astounded.

Master has not appeared in the Primordial True Realm for many years.

The most recent intervention was an exception made to rescue that junior disciple. It’s said there was some friction with the Southern Domain Venerable, yet the Master only sent an avatar, not his true self.

After all, the Southern Domain Venerable is ultimately of the Human Race, unlikely to engage in a life-or-death battle with the Master. But it’s a different story with the Ancient Demon Clan; if a move is made, it will be the true self visiting. Otherwise, an avatar simply can’t hold the scene; how could those Ancient Demon Emperors fail to distinguish avatar from true self?

"A calamity is upon us. It is both disaster and opportunity. Perhaps in this desperate situation of the catastrophe, you may forge the Emperor Road. Or maybe, you’ll fall at the doorstep of that Emperor’s threshold; it all depends on your destiny."

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor slowly said.

Gu Mofan and the other two felt a heavy sensation in their hearts.

The elders in their family have also pointed out that this disaster in the Eastern Domain could spark the second Ancient Demon Great War, mobilizing many treasures from within the clan, no longer holding back, nurturing many disciples on the cusp of advancement.

Like those at the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm or Immortal King Realm Perfection, these individuals, just a step away from reaching another level, have become key targets for cultivation at present.

"Go."

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

The three received the command, exchanged glances, and immediately mobilized their true selves to head to the Eastern Domain.

...

In the Eastern Domain, at the front line of a hundred cities, within Dragon Gate City.

Just as Li Hao was deciding whether to stay or leave, a sudden bell toll and dragon’s roar erupted within the city.

It was the signal of an attack. In the countless ancient buildings of Dragon Gate City, only sparse figures rushed out, looking in shock towards outside the city.

There, a mass of inky black clouds gathered, within which a Yan Ghost Array had formed, swinging its arms and pounding on the barrier outside the city, causing ripples of dragon patterns to ripple across the golden barrier.

In Dragon Shield Tower’s seventh floor, Long Ying, Duan Yuan, and others were alarmed, swiftly appearing in the high sky outside the tower, looking far into the distance.

Li Hao and Shi Miao also rushed out quickly, faces changing in color. Currently, most of the defensive forces within the city had been transferred to Ancestral Dragon City, making the defenses extremely weak here. Why would Ancient Demons attack here?

"Wasn’t it said that all Ancient Demons gathered at Ancestral Dragon City, preparing for a fierce assault? Once Ancestral Dragon City is breached, the second line of defense could be broken!"

"Why are Ancient Demons attacking here?"

Long Ying and others were shocked and in disbelief.

Other Dragon Shield Towers of the Mystic Armor Department had all reinforced Ancestral Dragon City. Only their Dragon Shield Tower was left here. They knew it was mostly due to Li Hao and Shi Miao, as these two monsters were here for trials and thus weren’t assigned to the extremely dangerous Ancestral Dragon City.

After all, in Ancestral Dragon City at this moment, casualties probably happen by the tens of thousands every minute!

"Quickly, reinforce the city defenses!"

Long Ying realized the situation, hurriedly shouting.

Now with weak defensive forces, they had to desperately resist.

At this moment, it was no longer about immortal techniques, but about defending the Eastern Domain and Dragon Gate City to the death!

Otherwise, if the city falls, they will all be doomed!

As for escaping? Where to? The rear is where their family is, could they possibly escape back to their family and hide?

Li Hao and Shi Miao also understood. Upon hearing Long Ying’s words, Shi Miao looked at Li Hao, her gaze slightly suggesting, and Li Hao immediately caught her meaning, directly transmitting back:

"First, hold Dragon Gate City!"

Fifth senior brother is fighting fiercely in Ancestral Dragon City, leaving this relatively safer Dragon Gate City to us for trials. How could I possibly abandon the city and flee in times of peril?

Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, Shi Miao sighed inwardly, seemingly knowing the answer already. After all, she was too familiar with Li Hao’s character.

Without saying more, and without trying to persuade more, a thick wave of immortal power emerged from her whole body. This time, she didn’t intend to hide it. Even if she exhausted all the power of this life’s body, burning the True God Blood, she would protect Li Hao and let him live!

Her gaze was resolute, exuding the light of indomitable iron.

Behind her, Li Hao’s eyes were also determined, his heart prepared. If the moment of crisis truly arrived, he would sacrifice this body to allow Shi Miao to escape.

After all, he still had three drops of Divine Blood left with Master, capable of rebirth through Divine Blood, unless met by a high-level Immortal King Realm who could seal or directly obliterate him using special means.

"Fight, for a strong person does not fight knowing they can win, but fights whether victory or defeat is unknown!"

Li Hao drew his sword, charging alongside Long Ying and the others.

When they reached the city wall, they saw numerous Yan Ghost Arrays outside attacking the barrier, and even shadows of some Ghost Witch Formations among them, agilely darting, shielding the Yan Ghost Arrays from the city’s Dragon Blade Formation attacks.

Surveying the city, Li Hao noticed the warriors here were far fewer than those in the previous battle, just one-tenth of before!

Many areas were vacated, looking somehow desolate.

Comparing the quantity of the Yan Ghost Arrays outside, Li Hao felt a heaviness in his heart; the sheer numerical disparity alone tipped the scales!

A barrier separated the two forces, starkly demonstrating the disparity in numbers.

"Form up!"

Long Ying and the others’ expressions changed, but they still gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

The Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array quickly formed, becoming a giant dragon standing on the city wall, overlooking outside the city.

Inside the city, the military constantly released immortal techniques through the barrier to bombard, and not far from Li Hao and others on the city wall, two menacing auras appeared, being precisely City Lord Long Potian and the Deputy City Lord.
