Deity Transformation cultivators were the only ones capable of crossing star systems without relying on external methods. Even Nascent Soul cultivators had to rely on flying ships to travel from one cultivation star to another.
If Heavenly Metal Battlefield truly collapsed, Chu Xuan's coordinates here would be lost in the vastness of the starry void. He had no idea if there were any other cultivation stars nearby.
What if there were no cultivation stars within hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of miles? Wouldn't he be forever lost in the void? That was definitely not a result Chu Xuan wanted.
"Right now, I can only take it step by step. This must be the work of that old man Wen Lingtian."
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes. To be suddenly thrust into a life-threatening situation was no small matter. Anyone in his shoes would be equally displeased.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Spiritual Qi-based spells continuously bombarded the ancient beasts outside the city. After a period of relentless bombardment, the ancient beasts still showed no signs of retreating.
A few Nascent Soul cultivators from the first and second levels of Nascent Soul began to feel their Spiritual Qi depleting and had no choice but to sit down and meditate to recover.
Nascent Soul cultivators of the first and second levels didn't want to use large spirit stones to restore their Qi. With the formation still active, they hoped to rely on the natural Spiritual Qi of the world to recover slowly. However, as they meditated, they soon realized something was wrong.
"Strange… why does the Spiritual Qi in the world feel a bit thinner?"
"I feel it too. My recovery speed seems slower than before."
"It should just be a normal fluctuation in the Spiritual Qi. It will recover slowly."
The cultivators murmured among themselves, not giving the matter much thought. fгeewebnovёl.com
Chu Xuan and Ximen Changqing exchanged a glance, both raising an eyebrow.
Ximen Changqing whispered via voice transmission, "Looks like the formation has activated. Oddly enough, when the Heavenly River True Master assigned me this task, he clearly said the activation would be five days later."
Chu Xuan thought for a moment. "Perhaps he gave you a false timeline. The true activation time was given to Miaoyong, the one who holds the array plate."
Ximen Changqing's expression froze. Upon further reflection, he realized that this was very likely the case. To prevent anyone from detecting the flaw in the formation and potentially betraying him, Heavenly River True Master had likely provided a false timeline. The real timeline had been kept hidden.
"Let's just hold on through this wave for now." Chu Xuan said, then continued casting spells toward the beasts outside the city.
The battle lasted for five days and four nights. Many Nascent Soul cultivators had completely drained their Spiritual Qi and had to stop to recover. It wasn't until noon on the fifth day that the ancient beasts, after leaving behind massive amounts of carcasses, retreated like a tidal wave.
Chu Xuan gazed out at the battlefield. Everywhere his eyes could see, there were bodies scattered across the ground. A rough estimate showed that there were at least seven million ancient beasts that had died here. And this was only counting those whose bodies remained mostly intact. As for the countless Nether Crocodile and Dark Nether Hawk that had been reduced to ash, their number was far higher.
"At least ten million... What scale of beast tide is this?"

"These ancient beasts were practically berserk!"
"Quick, report this to the sect!"
The cultivators felt a deep unease in their hearts. After this battle, Heaven-Six City had used up a tremendous amount of spiritual stones. They would need to request spiritual stone assistance from the sect.
