Peerless War God

The black-robed Protector stood in the air, his clothes fluttering in the wind. His aura skyrocketed, and his immortal-level supreme might shook the entire battlefield.    

Instantly, countless evil cultivators looked up at the sky with excitement, as if they had found their pillar of support.    

He raised the sword in his hand high up in the air. Instantly, golden light shone, and the Destruction Sword grew to over three hundred meters long. It stood in the air like a huge mountain. Suddenly, the sword flew out and slashed down. The black-robed Protector slapped his palm, and the Destruction Sword was like a meteorite as it slashed toward the Great Formation of the Heavenly River City.    

Boom!    

A loud noise was heard, and the Destruction Sword was bounced back. The huge and magnificent Great Formation of the City was actually caved in at this moment. Wherever the Destruction Sword struck, countless cracks spread out rapidly.    

Crack! Crack! Crack! The cracks were still spreading crazily, and they could not be stopped.    

When the cultivators in the Heavenly River City saw this, their expressions changed drastically, and they were overwhelmed with shock.    

“Not good, the Great Formation is about to collapse. This sword is too terrifying. Is this the might of an immortal-level Almighty? It’s so terrifying.”    

“No, we must hold on. We must hold on. Formation Master, reinforce the formation with all your might. Reinforce the formation.”    

“Reinforce the formation. Don’t hold back at all costs. Reinforce the formation with all your might.”    

Numerous anxious voices were mixed with orders as they were transmitted down.    

The foreheads of the Gu Clan's formation masters were covered in cold sweat. They exerted all their strength, not hesitating to drain their mana and pour it into the grand formation to maintain it.    

Finally, the cracks caused by the golden Sword of Annihilation stopped extending and temporarily stopped.    

Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.    

“Hu, it seems like it can hold on for now. However, if this continues, I'm afraid it won't last for long.”    

In midair, Gu Changsheng's face was gloomy and extremely anxious. In his heart, he actually felt a trace of wavering.    

However, he also knew that others could have a way out, but he did not.    

Once the city was broken, the other party would definitely use him as a scapegoat. They would not rest until they killed him. He could only fight to the death.    

“Pass on my orders. Prepare to fight to the end.”    

“Yes, Patriarch.”    

Outside the city, the Thousand Corpse Demonic Elder raised his head, his eyes filled with envy. “It truly is worthy of being a Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure grade sword personally bestowed by a Divine Master. Its power is shocking, and it actually almost broke through the grand formation of the Heavenly River City with a single strike. However, this is not the credit of this fellow, but the benefit of the treasure sword. Heh.”    

The black-clothed protector did not pay much attention to it and coldly said, “Symbol cannonballs, one round of firing.”    

“Yes, Symbol cannonballs, one round of firing. ”    

“One round of firing.”    

“Rumble, rumble, rumble.”    

The sound of the air being torn apart resounded in the ears. Hundreds of enormous fireballs whistled through the air and smashed towards the grand formation of the Heavenly River City.    

Taking advantage of the black-clothed protector's Sword of Annihilation's attack just now, the grand formation would still be able to recover its strength. They would take advantage of the heat to strike and completely destroy it.    

Success or failure depended on this one move. Xie Lao subconsciously clenched his fists, “Can it be done?”    

Although he was somewhat at odds with the black-clothed protector, he still hoped that this attack would be able to successfully break through the grand formation, and their goals were the same.    

At almost the same time, rumble rumble rumble!    

The ground trembled endlessly as ten or so Corpse Demons that were close to ten thousand zhang tall rushed toward Heavenly River City, leaving behind enormous footprints on the ground. Some even directly flattened the mountain peaks.    

And behind these Corpse Demons that emitted a terrifying aura were the army of cultivators. They were silent, their eyes crimson as they followed closely behind the Corpse Demons, charging toward Heavenly River City like hungry wolves.    

Heavenly River City.    

“Hmph, do you think that I don't exist? What is a mere symbol cannonball? Just watch.”    

As he stood in the air, he fiercely raised his hand, and heavenly phenomena changed. Dark clouds gathered, and then countless profound ice sword qi appeared, condensing into form.    

“Go.”    

Gu Changsheng fiercely pressed down, and the profound ice sword qi shot out, slashing toward the symbol cannonballs that were coming from the sky.    

“Boom.”    

“Boom.”    

The profound ice sword qi shattered, only stopping for a moment. Some of it exploded in midair, and under the collision of ice and fire, it exploded with an incomparably terrifying shockwave.    

For a time, the outer city and the city walls turned into a sea of fire.    

However, even if Gu Changsheng took action, more than half of the symbol fireballs fiercely smashed onto the grand city-protecting formation.    

Pa.    

“Crack.”    

“Pfft, not good. The grand formation is about to collapse.” Below, an array master spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.    

“Ah, we must hold on! Hold on! If the city is broken, then we are finished! We are doomed! Those evil cultivators are all cannibals, and they even suck the bone marrow of humans!”    

A cultivator from the Gu Clan shouted out, his heart filled with fear.    

“Right, we must hold on! We must not let go!”    

“Hold on! Do your best to hold on! Use all your strength! Hurry!”    

At this moment, countless cultivators in the city united as one, using all their strength to try to maintain the operation of the grand formation.    

Right at this moment, with a crack, the cracks on the protective grand formation above everyone’s heads rapidly expanded, spreading out. It could not be stopped, and then it shattered like an eggshell.    

“No, how could this be?” In midair, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at this scene.    

He had originally thought that the formation could hold on for a while longer, at least be able to consume a bit more of the other party’s life to lessen the pressure.    

But he had never expected that it would not be able to hold on for so long.    

“Just now, what exactly happened?” Gu Changsheng fiercely turned his head around and fiercely looked around the city, his heart at a loss for a moment.    

It was not just him, but at this moment, the entire city descended into great chaos and fear.    

“The array formation is broken. It really is broken. It’s over, it’s all over. We’re all finished.”    

“Damn it, we can’t even last this long. We can only fight to the death now.”    

“The evil cultivator army is about to surge into the city. We can only fight to the death, fight to the end.”    

“Right, fight to the death, protect the Heavenly River City.”    

The cultivators of the Gu Clan were united in their hatred, eager to give it a try. None of them retreated.    

At this time, they had already lost all means of retreat.    

Outside the city, the black-robed protector laughed wildly. “Haha, we’ve succeeded. Pass on my order. All troops, attack. Destroy the Heavenly River City.”    

“All troops, attack.”    

“All troops, attack. ”    

The horns to attack were blown. The evil cultivator army pressed forward, dense like ants, advancing forward.    

The evil cultivators who were charging forward also quickened their pace, charging towards the Heavenly River City with all their might.    

Not far away, the Thousand Corpse Evil Elder was still in shock, very surprised.    

He flew to the side of the black-robed protector and asked curiously, “How did you do it? Just now, the Heavenly River City’s array formation showed signs of loosening, being destroyed with a single blow. It definitely wasn’t broken by external forces.”    

The black-robed protector chuckled. “Naturally, there was an insider.”    

“Insider? So that’s how it is. You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.”    

The Evil Elder could not help but admire him in his heart. In this aspect, the other party was indeed better than him.
