In the past, every time they faced the Heavenly Star Beast Wave, it was very difficult for the Realm of Immortals to unite. The four top forces weren't as united as one, and they didn't have much rallying power. Therefore, it was very difficult for everyone to truly unite. Naturally, they were very weak in front of the powerful Heavenly Star Beast Wave.
The Heavenly Star Beast Race had Beastmaster as their sole leader. They moved like the wind and didn't fear death. As long as Beastmaster gave the order, even if there was a bottomless abyss in front of them, they wouldn't hesitate to jump in.
However, the Realm of Immortals now had their own leader. Countless years of legends proved that with Hao Tian in the Realm of Immortals, the Heavenly Star Forest was nothing to be afraid of. Every generation of Hao Tian could wash the Heavenly Star Forest with blood.
Perhaps it was because of this psychological advantage that so many Realm of Immortals rushed to the new city to support.
In the previous Heavenly Star Beast Wave, after experiencing a heavy blow from the Evil Spirit Island, they lost more than a thousand Extreme Star Beasts. Even if all the Extreme Star Realm experts in the Heavenly Star Forest gathered together, there were only a thousand of them, which was similar to the number of Extreme Star Realm experts in the new city. This caused the two sides to be evenly matched.
Everyone could also understand that the key to victory in this battle was the result of the battle between Hao Tian and Beastmaster.
The Heavenly Star Beast Wave surrounded the new city, and the battle immediately erupted.
The Heavenly Star Beast Wave attacked from the outside, and the Realm of Immortals gathered in the new city waited for the enemy to arrive. They borrowed the power of the defensive formation to deplete the enemy's strength and condition.
As Hao Tian, Xiao Lingyu was naturally in the new city. This battle was very crucial, so he didn't hide anything. He also let Xiao Wei, who he had painstakingly trained, leave the Xiao Family Courtyard and join the battle.
Beastmaster didn't make a move at first, and Xiao Lingyu only watched from within the city.
At first, the two sides seemed to be conducting an attack and defense drill. It seemed like a great battle, and the battle cries shook the heavens. However, neither side suffered the slightest bit of damage.
This battle of attrition lasted for almost a month. One day, a month later, the defensive formation of the new city suddenly opened up eight openings. Simultaneously, an army of ten thousand cultivators rushed out of the eight openings, and within each army, there were a hundred Extreme Star Realm experts.
These eight armies were like eight sharp blades as they charged out of the new city and pierced into the encirclement of the Heavenly Star Beast Tide.
The Heavenly Star Beast Tide numbered in the hundreds of millions, and the encirclement they formed was as thick as a hundred miles. However, most of the Heavenly Star Beasts were only at the Immortality Realm or the Nirvana Realm. Facing an army led by a hundred Star Realm experts, the encirclement they formed was clearly too weak.
Although there were Heavenly Star Beasts at the Extreme Thousand Star Stage, they were all scattered around the new city. When the eight elite armies charged out of the new city, they were clearly at a loss.
Back then, they had lost over a thousand Extreme Star Beasts at the Evil Spirit Island in the Abyss of Hell. They were the elites of the Heavenly Star Beast Tribe. Now, the Extreme Star Beasts that responded to Beastmaster's call for the Heavenly Star Beast Tide were originally scattered around the Heavenly Star Forest. They didn't stay together for long, and their coordination was clearly lacking. Similarly, there were over a thousand of them, but their battle prowess was far inferior to the elites of the Heavenly Star Beast Tribe.
As for the eight armies that charged out of the new city, they were formed by the Sword Pavilion, Star Pavilion, Sea Pavilion, Thunder Pavilion, and other major factions, as well as members sent by Xiao Wei. They cultivated and worked together all year round, so they were very familiar with each other. In addition, they were bound and unified by the battle formation, so their killing power was naturally very strong.
When the two sides were compared, it was obvious who had the upper hand.
Under the command of the Heavenly Astral Beast King, the Heavenly Astral Beast Horde's experts had quickly reacted and started to actively surround and annihilate the eight armies. However, their gains were minimal. After all, the new city had sent out 800 Star Realm experts, while the Heavenly Astral Beast Horde only had 1,000 Star Realm Heavenly Astral Beasts. The difference wasn't that great.
The eight armies were like meat grinders as they charged into the encirclement of the Heavenly Star Beast Tide. Wherever they passed, countless Heavenly Star Beast corpses were left behind. Almost at every moment, thousands of Heavenly Star Beasts were killed by their powerful attacks.
Beastmaster finally made his move. He waved the staff in his hand and shot out a bright starlight at one of the new city armies.
However, before the bright starlight hit its target, it was blocked by a stone slab that suddenly flew out from the new city.
The newly promoted Hao Tian Xiao Lingyu also made his move. He flew out from the new city and stood in front of the stone slab, blocking Beastmaster's path forward.
"Beast King, your opponent is me."
Xiao Lingyu's long hair fluttered in the wind, and his expression was cold and indifferent.
Although he appeared to be a peerless expert who looked down on the world and was invincible, in reality, when facing the Beast King, he was still a little uneasy.
He already had top-notch strength, but he didn't have the cultivation of a top-notch expert. This was his only weakness now.
He didn't want to fight to the death with a top-notch expert like Beastmaster. However, after becoming Hao Tian, how could he ignore the Heavenly Star Beast Tide? He might be able to escape this time, but he might not be able to escape Beastmaster's pursuit. If one day, he and his family were surrounded by Beastmaster and a large group of Extreme Star Beasts, it would be too late for regrets. At least now, he had organized countless cultivators to participate in the battle in the new city. It was much safer than facing Beastmaster alone or with his family.
"You will become the fastest Hao Tian to fall since ancient times! If you hide and cultivate for a while, you might be able to become invincible like those so-called Hao Tian experts in the past. "
The Beast King narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"That will depend on the Beast King's ability."
Xiao Lingyu replied indifferently. Then, he suddenly shouted, "The counterattack begins!"
Like a signal, when his shout spread out, the defensive formation of the new city suddenly disappeared. Instead, dozens of beams of starlight shot out from the formation, fiercely shooting out in all directions of the new city.
In an instant, under the bombardment of those starlight beams, countless Heavenly Star Beasts died on the spot. Dozens of large gaps appeared in the encirclement of the Heavenly Star Beast Tide that surrounded the new city.
Then, countless cultivators rushed out of the new city. They poured out their Dharma treasures, talisman treasures, and all kinds of spells and abilities that they had prepared beforehand.
At this moment, the battle between the two sides had truly begun. The Heavenly Star Beast Horde seemed to be of a large scale, but their formation had already been disrupted by the previous eight armies. When faced with the large-scale counterattack from the new city, the entire formation became even more chaotic. The Heavenly Star Beasts at the front were so frightened that they retreated one after another. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Star Beasts at the back who wanted to charge forward to fight kept pushing forward. The entire Heavenly Star Beast Horde was in chaos, and their formation was already distorted.
Although the Heavenly Star Beast Tide was huge, most of the Heavenly Star Beasts couldn't use their strength at all. They also didn't know where to attack.
It was also because of the huge scale of the enemy that the cultivators who rushed out of the new city didn't need to aim or lock on to a target. They only needed to casually throw their attacks in front of them.
As for the true Heavenly Star Beast experts in the Heavenly Star Beast Tide, they had already locked their attention on the eight new armies that had emerged. In addition, there were close to five hundred Astral Extremity Realm cultivators leading and paving the way. Even if there were many Heavenly Star Beasts attacking the new city, they wouldn't be able to have much of an effect.
Seeing this, Beastmaster's lips twitched slightly. However, he still locked his gaze on Xiao Lingyu.
Even if the Heavenly Star Beast Tide couldn't win, it could at least cause the other party to suffer heavy losses. Even if all the Heavenly Star Beasts that came to the new city died in battle, the other party would lose more than half of their elite powerhouses. As long as he could kill Hao Tian, the losses on his side wouldn't be worth mentioning.
Hao Tian had just been born and was at his weakest. It was also the best time to kill him. Therefore, Beastmaster launched this Heavenly Star Beast Tide.
"Let me have a taste of Hao Tian's powers!"
The Heavenly Star Beast King didn't think too much about it. It waved the staff in its hand again, and instantly, countless stars appeared in the sky. Furthermore, those stars quickly shifted their positions, forming a Star Map Array. The Star Map Array also released Star Power, but it was only to strengthen the Beast King's state.
Even though Xiao Lingyu had become Hao Tian, he hadn't reached the Star Formation Realm. This made it so that not only did he have to fight against Beastmaster, but he also had to fight against the power of the stars in the sky.
If he was at the peak of the Extreme Astral Realm and Hao Tian's Primordial Venerate position, killing Beastmaster would be a piece of cake.
"Star Beast Formation!"
Beastmaster shouted. The star power that surged from the starry sky like a torrent instantly condensed into star beasts. Their bodies became more and more solid, and they quickly surrounded Xiao Lingyu and formed a very strange battle formation.
The Tai Chi Diagram had already floated above Xiao Lingyu's head and projected circles of black and white light to cover his body, forming a solid defense.
Xiao Lingyu also pressed his palm on the stone slab. The Primordial Chaotic Star Fire quickly blended into the stone slab, causing it to burn with a circle of misty Primordial Fire.
The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand also contained a wisp of Primordial Qi. Under the support of the Primordial Qi, it clanged.
Dozens of star beasts condensed from star power, with violent fluctuations of power, attacked Xiao Lingyu with the power of the battle formation.
Pure and domineering star power flashed in the sky like a meteor shower, but it flew like rainbows and exploded around Xiao Lingyu like fireworks.
The Tai Chi Diagram spun wildly above Xiao Lingyu's head, and the black and white light shield almost condensed into a thick cocoon of light. No matter how the star power bombarded, it firmly protected Xiao Lingyu.
The increase in his strength made the Tai Chi Diagram much more powerful.
"It's not a wise choice to play a battle formation with me."
