Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As he pondered, the Formation's attack arrived as expected.

Within the dust and smoke, the Third Order Demon Beasts reacted first, with the leading Blazing Flame Celestial Lion letting out an angry roar, seemingly issuing commands.

As the roaring echoed across the land, the huge group of Demon Beasts behind the Blazing Flame Celestial Lion started to move, attempting to avoid the attacks of the light beams and fireballs.

Atop the city walls, Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors, closely observing every move within the dust, unwilling to miss the slightest action.

Under his watch, he saw those Third Order Demon Beasts effortlessly dodge the light beams and fireballs, navigating through them with ease.

However, Third Order Demon Beasts could easily avoid them, even using their bodies to block some of the attacks.

Those First Order Demon Beasts would die upon contact, while ordinary Second Order Demon Beasts, if struck directly, could be severely injured or even killed instantly.

Only those Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts could withstand some attacks. However, being hit a few times was not significant, but if struck too many times, they could still be injured or even die.

At this moment, as the more powerful Demon Beasts avoided the attacks, the weaker ones behind them were not so fortunate.

As soon as they were hit by the light beams and fireballs, screams would immediately follow, and for a time, continuous cries of agony permeated outside Yuyao City, chilling even the Human Cultivators who heard them.

Soon, the first round of attack ended and the dense dust dissipated significantly, revealing the outline of the entire Demon Beast Army.

At a glance, the ground was littered with corpses of Demon Beasts, at least three thousand had fallen, and many Second Order Demon Beasts also met their doom under the Formation's barrage of light beams and fireballs.

It was apparent that the first round of attack was effective; although the number of Second Order Demon Beasts killed was limited, the overall number was staggering.

If the attacks continued for several more rounds, even a Demon Beast Army as large as this could not withstand such a loss.

However, such a tactic was merely wishful thinking, for the Demon Beasts would not just stand still and be hit.

The first round of attack was completely unexpected, but once the Demon Beasts were prepared, the effectiveness of the Formation's attack would be greatly reduced, and to expect to achieve the same result was unrealistic.

Sure enough, while he was contemplating, the Formation's second round of attack had already been launched.

The prepared Demon Beast Army was no longer in chaos. The leading Third Order Demon Beasts showed no sign of dodging; instead, they stood side by side at the forefront, using their mountain-like robust bodies to form a barrier, shielding the Demon Beasts behind them from the attacks.

Clearly, their Spirit Wisdom was not low, and they understood that the effect of these attacks was almost negligible, so they ignored them, even shielding the ones behind them.

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosive sounds continued, with the light beams and fireballs dissipating upon striking the bodies of the Third Order Demon Beasts, fading away into the world.

To the Third Order Demon Beasts, these seemingly fearsome light beams and fireballs were indeed just a tickle.

Within the dust, since the battle line of the Demon Beast group was too long, the bodies of the Third Order Demon Beasts could only block a small part of it.

As a result, a large area was still exposed to the Formation's attacks, and in the second round, nearly a thousand Demon Beasts were killed by the light beams and fireballs.

With the two rounds of attacks over, the original tens of thousands of Demon Beasts had directly lost a tenth of their power.

By this time, the Demon Beasts had already moved away from the range of the Formation's light screen, being pushed back several miles.

At this moment, the Demon Beast Army stopped advancing and made no further moves, with only a few Third Order Demon Beasts glaring at the Formation light screen and roaring furiously, looking rather enraged.

In the sky above the city walls, Chen Jingtian's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his face showing no emotion, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He surveyed the Demon Beast Army in front, then looked at the Formation's light screen where its power had obviously weakened, and instructed Wang Hengqiu beside him.

"Cease the Formation's attack for now. Launch the attack again if the Demon Beasts advance several miles closer; otherwise, don't waste the energy of the Formation!"

"Alright!" Wang Hengqiu nodded and responded.

Wang Hengqiu agreed with Chen Jingtian's decision, understanding that the Formation's attacks also required energy consumption.

If there were no energy limitations and attacks could be launched continuously, even Third Order Demon Beasts could be ignored, they still wouldn't be able to effectively attack Yuyao City.

In that case, wouldn't it mean that as long as the city's defenders kept launching attacks without venturing out, Yuyao City would never fall?

Clearly, that was unrealistic.

Even a Third Order Formation was not invincible. Whether on defense or offense, the consumption of stored energy in the formation was significant. Once the stored energy was depleted, merely relying on High-Quality Spirit Stones would decrease its power and it wouldn't last long.

Moreover, the number and overall strength of Human Cultivators were already inferior to the Demonic Beasts. Under the current circumstances, the Third Order Great Array was their reliance.

With such constraints, they had to manage their energy consumption well, leveraging the formation's greatest power to inflict maximum damage, thereby lessening the losses of the Human Cultivators.

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Hengqiu took out the token that controlled the Third Order Great Array and immediately shut down the formation's offensive capabilities.

As the offensive force was cut off, the spiritual light on the formation's protective screen seemed to rise, strengthening its defensive capability.

Such changes were noticed by all Cultivators, who felt relieved in their hearts. They were fortunate to have the Formation Protection—if they had to engage in direct combat, the losses on the Human side would be unimaginable.

At this moment, with the formation's attack halted, the Demon Beast Army retreated several miles. For a time, there was a brief calm as both sides sized each other up, also contemplating their next move.

The silent time slowly passed, with only the scent of blood lingering in the air.

It was as if to remind both sides that the glorious scene that had occurred was real and that it would continue to unfold.

After half a quarter of an hour, with a deafening roar, the brief tranquility was once again shattered.

Looking ahead, nine Third Order Demon Beasts took the lead in the attack.

Among them, several Third Order Demon Beasts spat out orbs of various colors, along with some Second Order Demonic Beasts capable of long-range attacks, unleashing a variety of bizarre techniques, bombarding the formation's protective screen in front of them.

At the same time, several Third Order Demon Beasts led a large number of Second Order Demonic Beasts charging forward, striking the formation's screen with their thick and powerful bodies.

The First Order Demon Beasts remained where they were, not moving an inch, seemingly not intending to join the attack.

Clearly, the Spirit Wisdom of this Late Stage Third Order Blazing Flame Celestial Lion was high. Those First Order Demon Beasts were too weak and wouldn't be of much use under the formation's defense and offense. Advancing would have only meant a needless sacrifice.

It was better to preserve these numerous First Order Demonic Beasts. If the Human Cultivators were to leave the formation later, they could then launch these creatures in an attack, potentially achieving a greater victory.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The various attacks of the Demon Beasts tore through the void, and those relying on their bodies impacted the formation's screen, erupting with earth-shaking noises.

At that moment, the ground shook violently, and countless flashes of light from the explosions streaked across the screen.

Lin Tianming stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed intently on the front, his heart lifted to his throat.

This first round of attacks was critical. If the power of the Demon Beasts' attack was too strong and sustained, the formation might not hold on for long.

In that case, holding their ground was not a long-term solution—they had to make a change, find a way to weather the crisis.

There were many with similar thoughts, each one closely watching the intense reactions from the formation's screen.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The sounds of explosions continued incessantly, the screen pulsating with light that illuminated the entire sky.

Under the attack of the Demon Beasts, the formation's screen trembled, and the air inside Yuyao City became chaotically turbulent.

A few breaths of time passed, and the Demon Beasts' first round of attacks temporarily ceased.

Seeing that the ground was no longer shaking and the formation was still smoothly operating, most people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, Chen Jingtian and several Golden Core Cultivators, along with those with keen sight, including Lin Tianming, had more grave expressions.
