The leisurely day quickly passed. As the sunlight once again illuminated the hazy sky of the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, Chu Xuan and the others stood at the center of Heaven-Three City's main square. The burly cultivator, Dong Qi, had already been waiting there for them.
He scanned the crowd with a cold expression and spoke, "My name is Dong Qi, from the Falling Sun Demon Fortress, Nascent Soul Late Stage. I will lead you to Heaven-Six City to replace the current batch of Nascent Soul cultivators. This time, a total of forty Nascent Soul cultivators will be heading to Heaven-Six City. Everyone, follow me."
Dong Qi strode out of the city gates. Chu Xuan and the others quickly followed suit.
The number of cultivators in the extraterritorial battlefield was already greater than that on the cultivation planets, and the Heavenly Metal Battlefield was considered a dangerous zone. Many Nascent Soul cultivators ventured into the extraterritorial battlefield seeking Deity Transformation-level spiritual items.
Outside the city gates, a giant, earth-colored worm awaited. This massive worm was at least thirty zhang long and clearly proficient in Earth Escape techniques.
"Get on," Dong Qi ordered, waving his hand. He was the first to leap onto the creature. The others followed suit and climbed aboard.
Once everyone had mounted, Dong Qi let out a long howl. The giant worm received the signal and immediately began moving northeast. A layer of earth-yellow shield formed around its body, quickly enveloping the Nascent Soul cultivators within. The worm's speed rapidly increased, reaching an impressive velocity.
Chu Xuan observed the swiftly retreating scenery and estimated that the worm's speed was roughly on par with that of a top-tier flying magic treasure. It seemed that this Dong Qi, coming from the Falling Sun Demon Fortress, was no ordinary figure.
Two days later, a loud rumbling sound gradually drew near. Everyone looked up, and in the distance, the shadow of a massive city emerged.
Above the giant city, a purple shield inverted in the sky, blocking external magical attacks. As they gazed at the scene, they saw large bursts of magical light colliding in mid-air, only to be quickly extinguished. It was clear that Heaven-Six City had arrived.
Dong Qi bellowed, "On the city walls! Use the formations to counterattack!"
The deafening rumble forced him to raise his voice. Just as Chu Xuan was about to step toward the city walls, an ominous sense of danger suddenly surged within him. Instinctively, he took half a step back, retreating into the crowd.
In the next moment, a massive explosion echoed from within Heaven-Six City. The purple protective shield that had been enveloping the city flickered a few times before completely fading away. Instantly, panicked cries filled the air within the city.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. This was clearly a sign that someone inside the city had used an array-breaking talisman, and the most vulnerable position was targeted. Such precise and ruthless use of the talisman was the only way to easily breach a Nascent Soul-level formation. It seemed that there was a traitor among the Nascent Soul cultivators defending Heaven-Six City.
"Damn it!"
Dong Qi's face twisted in shock as he saw the purple light shield vanish. He had just led his people here to replace the current defenders, and the formation had already been destroyed?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground began to tremble as if countless massive elephants were charging toward them.
"Run!"
Dong Qi could only manage a desperate shout.

Boulders rained down from the sky, crashing into Heaven-Six City. The shockwave from the impact sent Dong Qi flying through the air. From the looks of it, he was severely injured.
The giant boulders landed, and scalding stone fragments scattered in every direction. Each fragment was as large as a fist and as powerful as a Nascent Soul-level spell. Instantly, icy particles appeared around Chu Xuan, effortlessly blocking the fierce stone shards. At the same time, he dodged the falling firestones with ease.
