At this moment, the new city was already enveloped by an extremely thick defensive barrier. Under the bombardment of the Star Energy Laser, this defensive barrier immediately trembled, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.
However, as soon as those cracks appeared, they quickly disappeared.
Within the new city, the experts sent by the four peak forces were guarding the key positions of the city, and were pouring their power into the defensive formation.
While the experts were doing their best to defend, the ordinary cultivators in the new city were not idle either. They were also pouring their power into the defensive formation.
If the new city was breached, no one would have an easy time.
Originally, in this kind of battle, Nirvana Realm cultivators would not be of much use. However, one Nirvana Realm cultivator was practically useless. With millions of Nirvana Realm cultivators gathered together, the amount of power they could produce was not to be underestimated.
However, although there were many cultivators in the new city, the number of Extreme Star Realm experts was far less than the number of Heavenly Star Beast elites. Thus, everyone could only defend and wait for reinforcements.
The Xiao Clan's overall strength was not weak. Currently, Jiang Lanchang, Jiang Lanyue, Qing Xuan, Yueru, Xiao Bing, and the Devourer Of Heaven had all reached the Extreme Star Realm. In addition to Miao Ying, Anya, Miling, Lu Jian, Ling'Er, Xiao Lingyu, and the three Xiao Wei who had obtained the Starlight Extreme Fire and the Extreme Star Beast Life Pearl from last time, the Xiao Clan had more than ten Extreme Star Realm experts.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not let the Xiao Clan experts go out and fight. Instead, he had everyone obediently stay in the Xiao Clan's courtyard.
This time, they had obtained nearly a hundred Heavenly Star Beasts' Life Pearls and Starlight Demonic Flame from the Heavenly Star Forest. This was enough for the other Xiao Wei to have the hope of reaching the Extreme Star Realm. What the Xiao Wei needed to do was to train hard and reach the Extreme Star Realm as soon as possible. The Xiao Clan's incomparably rich training resources were definitely not stingy to the Xiao Wei.
Although he had received the news long ago, the four top powers only had a little more than a hundred Astral Reaching Realm warriors gathered in the new city. On the other hand, the Heavenly Star Beast Legion had a thousand Astral Reaching Realm warriors. The difference in power between the two sides was just too big.
Under the ferocious attacks of the ten thousand elite Heavenly Star Beasts, the new city's Great Barrier Formation was constantly cracking. It was always on the verge of collapse, but it was still holding on bitterly.
The four top forces had built the new city between the Demonic Abyss and Stellarsky Forest. Naturally, they had to make the defenses of the new city impregnable.
When the Great City Barrier Array was in operation, not only could it gather an endless amount of star power, but it could also guide the stars in the sky to rotate.
In the sky of the new city, the starlight was exceptionally dazzling. Moreover, the stars in the sky formed a formation diagram, which also supported the Great City Barrier Array.
Using the power of the formation to move the stars was the most brilliant part of the new city's Great City Barrier Array. It could be considered as a top level formation in the World of Immortals. Unless one was at the peak of Astral Reaching Realm, they wouldn't be able to break it easily.
This Heavenly Star Beast Legion didn't have a peak of Astral Reaching Realm warrior. However, even if their Beastmaster was tied down by Great Sage Sun, they had close to a thousand Astral Reaching Realm warriors. When they attacked together, their attacking power was definitely not inferior to a peak of Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
Just by relying on the power of all the cultivators in the city, the Great City Barrier Array wouldn't be able to last for too long. However, the Great City Barrier Array could still absorb the energy from the Sun Crystals and Moon Crystals, as well as the star power from the starry sky. It wouldn't be easy for the enemy to break into the city.
Almost every time the Great City Barrier Array was bombarded by the enemy, millions of Sun Crystals would be exhausted and turned into ashes. The profits that the four top forces had made over the years in the new city would most likely be completely exhausted in this battle.
Xiao Lingyu had already made up her mind. As long as the Great City Barrier Array was broken, her family would directly leave the city through the transmission array.
After persevering for more than two hundred years, the four top forces began to send cultivators to collect donations from all the cultivators in the city. Their wealth had already been exhausted. If they wanted the Great City Barrier Array to continue defending, they would need the generosity of the cultivators in the city.
This time, the Xiao Clan was still very generous. They directly donated five hundred billion Sun Crystals, which greatly encouraged the cultivators in the city.
In these two hundred years, more than a hundred Astral Reaching Realm warriors came from all over the World of Immortals as reinforcements. With their participation, the Great City Barrier Array became even more stable.
As for the Heavenly Star Beast Legion, they had been bombarding the new city for so long. Naturally, they had consumed a lot of energy. Now, their attacking power was clearly much weaker than before.
As time passed, more and more Astral Reaching Realm warriors came to support. Finally, the Heavenly Star Beast Legion temporarily stopped their bombardment. They gathered together, as if they were recovering their strength.
What surprised everyone was that the Heavenly Star Beast Legion had waited for several hundred years before attacking the new city again. However, their numbers had clearly increased by more than ten times.
From the Heavenly Star Forest, more powerful Heavenly Star Beasts came.
Now, there were more than a hundred thousand Heavenly Star Beast Legion outside the new city. Among them, there were at least a thousand and three hundred Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
In the past countless years, every time the Heavenly Star Beasts rushed out of the Heavenly Star Forest, they could sweep through the rest of the World of Immortals. This was because their overall strength was simply too strong.
In the past, there were many peak Astral Reaching Realm warriors. After the Heavenly Star Beasts swept through the World of Immortals, they had no choice but to quickly retreat to the Heavenly Star Forest because they were afraid of being killed by the peak Astral Reaching Realm warriors. But now, most of the peak Astral Reaching Realm warriors had gone to the Ancient Starry Path. The Heavenly Star Beasts rushing out of the Heavenly Star Forest in large numbers was almost unstoppable.
This was only the beginning. The cultivators that the four peak forces had arranged to guard the outskirts of the Heavenly Star Forest were constantly sending back information. They said that the Heavenly Star Beast Legion had arrived early. Countless Heavenly Star Beasts were rushing out of the Heavenly Star Forest, and they were all rushing towards the new city.
Obviously, the new city couldn't be saved.
Right now, the best choice was to open the defensive barrier before the Heavenly Star Beast Legion completely surrounded the new city. Then, the powerful warriors would lead everyone to charge out.
Once the Heavenly Star Beast Legion surrounded the new city, even Astral Reaching Realm warriors wouldn't be able to escape easily.
Right now, there were only a hundred thousand Heavenly Star Beasts outside. They couldn't completely surround the new city. They couldn't even block one side of the new city. It was the best time for everyone to escape.
The four peak forces didn't hesitate. After assessing the situation, they decisively opened the defensive barrier.
The moment the barrier was opened, a beam of Heavenly Star Beast Legion's star power lasers fiercely blasted into the new city, directly killing tens of thousands of cultivators in the new city.
The cultivators in the new city rushed out from the three directions that were not surrounded by the Heavenly Star Beasts like floodwaters that had just broken through a floodgate. Then, one after another, they flew into the air and fled in all directions.
There were only a hundred thousand Heavenly Star Beasts. It was impossible for them to kill every single cultivator in the new city. In fact, they couldn't even kill half of them.
They didn't move recklessly. Instead, they directly rushed into the new city and headed straight for the Xiao Clan's courtyard.
However, when they arrived at the Xiao Clan's courtyard, the huge Xiao Clan's courtyard was already empty.
When the new city's barrier was just closed, Xiao Lingyu led the Xiao Clan and Xiao Wei to leave through the teleportation array.
Xiao Lingyu could guess that the early outbreak of the Heavenly Star Beast Legion was most likely related to his hunting in the Heavenly Star Forest. Therefore, he also guessed that his family was most likely the main target of this Heavenly Star Beast Legion.
Therefore, for the safety of his family, Xiao Lingyu directly led his family and Xiao Wei to the Demonic Abyss Hell.
Although the Demonic Abyss Hell had a harsh environment, it was definitely the best choice for escape due to its special environment.
The Heavenly Star Beast Legion didn't stay in the new city for long. They also didn't deliberately destroy the new city's buildings. Instead, after making some adjustments, they directly rushed towards the Demonic Abyss Hell. This puzzled the cultivators who originally lived in the new city.
The Heavenly Star Beast Legion that surged out of the Heavenly Star Forest didn't go anywhere else. Instead, they rushed towards the Demonic Abyss Hell like a torrent.
Ling 'er was left behind by Xiao Lingyu. She continuously transmitted the Heavenly Star Beast Legion's movements and the Heavenly Star Beast Legion's movements to Xiao Lingyu. Through Ling' er's messages, Xiao Lingyu was almost certain that this Heavenly Star Beast Legion was coming for his family.
Apart from the Xiao Clan, very few cultivators escaped to the Demonic Abyss Hell.
After entering the Demonic Abyss Hell, Xiao Lingyu directly ordered his family to escape towards the Evil Spirit Island based on his own experience.
There were countless evil spirits near the Evil Spirit Island, and many of them were at the Extreme Astral Realm. If the Heavenly Star Beast Legion rushed over, they would definitely engage in a huge battle with the evil spirits. This would then divert the Heavenly Star Beast Legion's strength and attention.
"Just as the Great Sage Sun said, I have to reach the Extreme Astral Realm as soon as possible. I also have to make a trip to the Haotian Ruins. Otherwise, my family will really be in danger."
Xiao Lingyu appeared to be very depressed. It wasn't because of the dangerous situation at hand, but because it seemed that the Hong Jun Ancestor had predicted her situation.
After traveling at full speed for a few hundred years, Xiao Lingyu finally brought his family and Xiao Wei close to the Evil Spirit Island.
They didn't rush towards the Evil Spirit Island. Instead, they chose a small island that was still three days away from the Evil Spirit Island. They set up a defensive array on this small island and let his family and Xiao Wei settle down temporarily.
Even if the Heavenly Star Beast Legion dared to rush into the Demonic Abyss Hell, they wouldn't be able to find this place in a short period of time.
As for reaching the Extreme Astral Realm, Xiao Lingyu had already thought of a method long ago. However, it might be extremely dangerous.
However, which advancement was without any risk?
If he wanted to reach the Extreme Astral Realm, he had to completely complete the Nirvana process. Xiao Lingyu had his own idea long ago, but he didn't dare to try it.
Now that he was forced to this point, he no longer had the capital to hesitate. After Ling 'er arrived, he carefully set up a formation and then took out the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
Then, with the Taiji Diagram's defensive light screen, he resolutely jumped into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
Relying on his control of the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the formation's support, Xiao Lingyu wanted to use the Samadhi True Fire to complete the Nirvana process.
