Chapter 1777: 452: (2)
In the process, one can also observe and comprehend the situation of the beast tide’s attacks, thereby operating the great array with minimal consumption and carrying out counterattacks.
Indeed, when Hong Lian took over the control of the great array, some cultivators in the city who understood formations immediately felt a difference, as if it had stabilized a lot.
And so, time slowly passed.
Although the beast tide crazily assaulted the Immortal City, with the great array protecting it, the situation was stable, and the mindset of the cultivators in the city gradually calmed down.
Many city guard cultivators even hoped the beast tide would last a bit longer, so they could easily earn more battle merits.
"Roar!!!"
Half a month later, another deep and majestic roar of a demon beast resounded, making one’s heart jump, head spin, and Qi and blood and mana surge turbulently.
From the rear of the endless beast tide, a gigantic shark, tens of zhang in size, rode the wind and waves towards them, stirring up infinite tornadoes and tsunamis, with a terrifying and overwhelming momentum that changed the color of the heavens and earth.
Even though it was far away, just by sound and aura, all cultivators knew that this was a Third Rank Demon King!
"This is a Heavenly Rank demon beast, the Raging Sea Shark!""How come another Demon King is attacking? That’s the fifth one!"
"This Demon King’s aura is even greater than the previous four;it might very well be a Third Rank Late Stage Demon King!"
"Third Rank Late Stage!? Five Demon Kings, could it be that this beast tide is really stirred up by a Fourth Rank Demon King!?"
The originally stable morale plummeted with the arrival of the Raging Sea Shark, causing a wave of panic, and many cried out in alarm.
Seeing this situation, not to mention the Immortal City cultivators, even Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but frown and look at his father.
After all, if things continued like this, a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King could truly appear.
His father, although able to kill a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator with a single sword strike, seemed yet to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
When faced with a Fourth Rank Demon King, could he really manage?
Moreover, besides the Fourth Rank Demon King, it would also be extremely difficult to kill these five Demon Kings in the Boundless Sea.
"No rush."
Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, handsome in appearance, with a tall and straight posture, said with his hands behind his back, signaling his son to stay calm.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed again.
Even though the Immortal City had a Third Rank Taboo Formation, it was under significant pressure facing the beast tide led by five Demon Kings, with the formation’s spiritual light flickering like the alternation between day and night.
That day, another gigantic Eight-Claw Demon Fish appeared, attacking the Immortal City alongside the Raging Sea Shark.
This Eight-Claw Demon Fish was a Third Rank Late Stage Demon King, not only possessing terrifying strength but also spewing ink-like, hellish torrents capable of corroding and eroding the city’s wall barriers.
As the pitch-black, ink-like torrents engulfed, slapping the city walls, the great array restriction on the western side of the Immortal City flickered, as if eroded by time, gradually dimming.
"The Eight-Claw Demon Fish and the Raging Sea Shark seem to be specifically targeting the city’s restrictions to break them."
Seeing this situation, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown.
This Eight-Claw Demon Fish’s ink had the effect of corroding formation restrictions, so it could wear down the city’s barriers.
The Raging Sea Shark’s offensive power was terrifying, with its tail like a divine halberd meant to cut the heavens, causing tremendous destructive pressure on the great array of the Immortal City.
The combined attack effects of these two could be said to multiply.
"Husband!"
Hong Lian transmitted to Lu Changsheng, indicating that if the Eight-Claw Demon Fish and the Raging Sea Shark continued like this, the western walls of the Immortal City would be thoroughly damaged and breached in at most a month.
"Wait seven more days."
In the Artifact Refinement Room, Lu Changsheng looked at the Treasure Forging Platform in front of him and transmitted to Hong Lian, indicating that he had seven days left before the Demon Binding Lock would be completed.
With the appearance of the Eight-Claw Demon Fish, the atmosphere in the Immortal City gradually became tense and anxious, with many people feeling worried and scared.
They weren’t worried about the city’s breach, but about a Fourth Rank Demon King.
After all, given the current circumstances, the probability of a Fourth Rank Demon King stirring up the beast tide was already high.
Once a Fourth Rank Demon King appeared, Great Dream Immortal City couldn’t possibly withstand it.
The cultivators stationed by the Four Great Immortal Sects couldn’t sit still either and inquired with Lu Lingxiao and Lu Changsheng, the two city lords, about the situation.
"The city lord indicates that in this beast tide, a Fourth Rank Demon King is very likely to attack, so they are preparing secret treasures to counter the Fourth Rank Demon King."
In response to this inquiry, Lu Changsheng, using the Three Treasures Incarnation, spoke up.
"Did the Great Dream City Lord already know that this beast tide was stirred by a Fourth Rank Demon King?"
"The timing announced by the City Lord Mansion for the beast tide’s arrival was questionable, indicating they had gone deep into the Great Dream Marsh earlier to investigate and noticed something was amiss."
"Could it be that this beast tide was stirred up by the two city lords themselves?"
Even though these cultivators were anxious at heart, they were helpless and could only calmly wait and help guard the city.
...
Seven days later, in the Artifact Refinement Room.
"Phew, it’s finally done!"
Lu Changsheng looked at the dark golden chain glistening with starlight on the massive ebony Treasure Forging Platform in front of him, exhaled a long breath of turbid energy, and appeared somewhat fatigued.
To be cautious and ensure effectiveness against a Fourth Rank Demon King, Lu Changsheng had metaphorically bled himself dry. .
He not only used up all the Third Rank materials in his possession for artifact refinement but also integrated many rare materials previously acquired from the Five Poisons Cult.
If a Fourth Rank Demon King didn’t show up or the hunt failed and his Demon Binding Lock went unused, it would be a huge loss!
"Clatter—"
Lu Changsheng cast a spell at the chain, as thick as an adult’s thigh and several zhang long, which coiled up like a flood dragon, clattering with sound.
The chain was intricately inscribed with complex patterns, suffused with an intimidating aura, especially on the large chain link where, besides array patterns, a Third Rank Demon Core was embedded.
After storing the chain in the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Artifact Refinement Room and inquired about the current situation in the Immortal City with Hong Lian.
