Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1981: Chapter 655: _3

Although he had the Three Treasures Incarnation outside, being of two minds, it was far less clear than Hong Lian, who was in charge of the Great Formation.

"Currently, the pressure mainly comes from the Octopus Demon Fish and the Fury Sea Spear Shark. The formations on the city walls they attack are already showing some damage. It’s estimated that in ten days, they will be severely damaged and breaches will appear..."

If it were just the two Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings, they would not have had such an impact on the Great Dream Immortal City.

But with six Demon Kings and an endless beast tide, even The Celestial City Formation was struggling mightily.

"Is the Spirit Burning Array ready?"

Lu Changsheng inquired.

To hunt the Fourth Rank Demon King, he had spared no effort. Astonishingly, Hong Lian set up a Spirit Burning Array in the City Lord Mansion that required the investment of over a million Spirit Stones.

When the time comes, these Spirit Stones will all burn to provide massive spiritual energy to the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror].

"Fear not, my lord, everything is ready..."

Hong Lian knew of Lu Changsheng’s plan, wanting to use the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures to blast the Fourth Rank Demon King to pieces.

"Good. In that case, in three days, we will slay the demons."

Lu Changsheng nodded, took two elixirs, and began to sit cross-legged to rest, adjusting himself to peak condition.

The past few months of artifact refining had somewhat consumed his mental spirit and mana, requiring a bit of rest.

...

Three days later, Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian arrived at the pavilion of the City Lord Mansion, overlooking the Immortal City which was usually bustling with people but now carried a heavy atmosphere.

"That Fourth Rank Demon King is quite patient, hasn’t shown up yet."

If possible, Lu Changsheng still wanted to wait for the Fourth Rank Demon King in the shadows to appear before taking action.

Unfortunately, the underlying strength of the Great Dream Immortal City was here, and it couldn’t withstand prolonged consumption.

"The Fourth Rank Demon King has already gained spiritual intelligence, capable of taking human form. Now with the beast tide sweeping over the Immortal City, it will probably wait until the great formation city wall breaks before appearing."

Hong Lian wore a red and gold luxurious gown, her figure slender and peerless, like a noble goddess, awe-inspiring and untouchable.

"Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint me."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled before thinking and saying: "Big Black, make your move!"

With his command, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, dormant in the depths of the Great Dream Immortal City, awoke from its slumber, its two massive eyes opening slowly, like abyssal black holes.

Its terrifying quasi-Fourth Rank aura burst forth, causing the sea to boil and roar, raising endless waves, and even the clouds in the sky rolled, dimming visibly.

The demon beasts assaulting the Great Dream Immortal City sensed the aura of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale and shivered instinctively.

Especially some low-ranking demon beasts, which immediately fell into terror and chaos, even fainting on the spot.

"What’s going on?"

On the city walls, cultivators noticed that something was amiss.

In the depths of the sea, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, covered in jet-black scale armor and massive in size, opened its gigantic mouth, resembling a chaotic abyss.

Then it surfaced, swallowing countless fishes and shrimp, hundreds and thousands of low-rank demon beasts into its gargantuan maw, its enormous and terrifying figure appearing to the cultivators of the Immortal City.

Its eyes, like black holes, menaced; its cold, dark scales; lofty, sharp, jet-black fins like giant wings, with dreadful ripples all over its body.

"Roar!!!"

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale let out a low roar, its voice like rolling thunder, a True Dragon’s bellow. The overwhelming aura of a quasi-Fourth Rank Demon King spread across, shocking all sea beasts and human race cultivators within a hundred miles.

"What is this!? Another Third Rank Demon King!"

"No, no... It’s not just that. I feel this demon king’s aura is stronger than the previous six Demon Kings!"

"Is this the Fourth Rank Demon King stirring the beast tide?"

"No, it hasn’t reached the Fourth Rank yet. It’s between the Third and Fourth Rank! Could it be this Demon King causing the beast tide, trying to take the opportunity to advance to the Fourth Rank!"

"It’s over, utterly over!"

With the appearance of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, the cultivators in the Great Dream Immortal City turned pale, filled with fear.

After all, the initial six Demon Kings had already rendered The Celestial City Formation unstable, leaving people in panic.

Now, another Demon King appeared, and its aura surpassed the previous six Demon Kings, indeed despair-inducing!

"Finally, that old man is going to take action."

In a pink and white dress and with a bright demeanor, Lu Wangshu’s beautiful eyes sparkled upon seeing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, feeling that its aura and form were much stronger and more domineering than before.

Especially the mysterious, somber patterns on its body and the hook-like single horn on its forehead all exuded an indescribable overlord’s majesty.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have craved such gains and would have left early."

"Why haven’t the two City Lord’s taken action yet!"

"In such a situation, unless a Nascent Soul True Lord intervenes, even if the City Lord possesses Core Formation Late Stage strength, they can’t possibly repel the beast tide."

"But at least they could contend with the demon kings and stabilize The Celestial City Formation!"

"I’ve lived over a hundred years, and I never imagined I’d witness such a beast tide before dying. I could die without regrets!"

"Once the Immortal City breaks open, there might still be a slim chance to escape."

At this moment, in the Immortal City, many cultivators were filled with pessimism, as if witnessing the Immortal City being breached and themselves perishing to the beast tide.

It wasn’t just the low-rank cultivators; even the many disciples from major factions who came for training wore grim expressions, not expecting to encounter such an event.

"Young City Lord, Changsheng True Master!"

Cultivators from various top-level forces approached Lu Lingxiao and Lu Changsheng, placing their hopes on the two mysterious City Lords.

Yet, at this moment, suddenly, there was singing from the sky.

"For twenty years, the sword’s edge was hidden, the long song and vast ambitions fly. The wind sweeps the whale waves clean for miles, clouds part and the waves reflect the sky. What is a sea of thousands of miles worth, sun and moon radiate upon all eight directions."

The singing was grand and magnificent, sounding like a whirlwind clearing away clouds, with the momentum of a tiger swallowing up a thousand miles, inspiring all who held pessimism to feel endless courage and heroism in their hearts.
