Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
You all have to die! Chen Mu didn’t realize it, but at this moment, perhaps due to the fact that he could control the puppet, he’s ego was inflated. Perhaps… He had fused with the drum, such that the hatred that he could suppress previously was magnified many times, such that it broke free of his restraints and made him a maniac.
This madness was shown clearly on Chen Mu’s face. His eyes conveyed his thirst for blood, and the urge was about to become uncontrollable. The antic.i.p.ation of revenge and the myriad of emotions he was feeling made the puppet python that he was controlling glow blindingly blood-red. A wave of cultivation on the level of perfected Core Formation realm was about to be unleashed!
As it was unleashed, the python hit the protective array formation of the city violently again.
In the blink of an eye, its skull hit the light screen of the array formation. A loud boom reverberated, and the array formation vibrated vigorously, cracking even more. It seemed to be on the brink of breaking down, unable to withstand further impact!
Once it broke down, it could be imagined that the blood-colored fog in the external environment would rush into the city. It would cover the entire region as if it was devouring it, and envelope all the cultivators inside the new city!
As for the consequence… It would be a catastrophe!
However, right now, it wasn’t just the python clas.h.i.+ng with the array formation on the outside. Inside the city, there was a Beast Tide happening in Fang Jing’s zone. With trouble brewing both inside and outside the city, the new city was in chaos. Thankfully, at this crucial juncture, Fang Jing didn’t selfishly think about her personal safety. She was also becoming a maniac, activating every person and every resource from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect to put in their all in an attempt to lock down the catacombs.
She couldn’t lose, nor could let such chaos happen in her zone. She wasn’t able to bear with the consequences, and the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect would be implicated as well. She would lose her job. All this made Fang Jing extremely stressed. However, she had long given up all hope. The python in the sky was clearly planning for its third collision with the array formation.
As the loud boom reverberated, all the cultivators in the city grew extremely anxious. It was also at this time that w.a.n.g Baole’s voice spread throughout the entire city through the broken array formation.
“Wen Huai, Chen Mu, Li Wan’er, the three of you are to support Fang Jing. You have half an hour, and regardless of the consequences, you are to suppress the catacombs!
“Kong Dao, Jin Duoming, Lin Tianhao, the three of you will lead all the Core Formation realm cultivators and make the necessary preparations. Your target is the python outside the protective covering of the array formation!”
“I will open the protective array formation to lure the python in before sealing it again. This is a battle we must win. The Governor is already aware of this and is on her way here!” w.a.n.g Baole’s voice was calm and immensely confident. His confidence was also motivating all the cultivators in the city now.
However, in reality, this confidence didn’t come from the Governor… Even though the first thing w.a.n.g Baole did was to inform the Governor, he found out that the fog was disrupting all communications, and that no messages could be sent out.
As for why he wanted to open the protective s.h.i.+eld of the array formation and allow the python to enter, that was because… even if it wasn’t opened, in at most five minutes, the array formation would be broken down. Then, not only would the python rush in, but large amounts of blood-colored fog would also enter. The fog restricts spirits, and once it filled the city… all the cultivators in the city would instantly become commoners. When the python began killing, there wouldn’t be any chance of turning the situation around!
Therefore, only by opening the array formation and allowing the python to enter could he ride on the sheer number of cultivators to continually expend resources to buy time. This was to delay the crisis from happening and await the right opportunity!
This wasn’t a difficult choice, but it required one to be bold. In the face of imminent danger, one’s instinct would be to block the danger out. Therefore, when w.a.n.g Baole sent out his orders, he wanted others to sense the calmness that was derived from his confidence. This was the only way he could create a collective consciousness for everyone to persevere on!
At the same time, w.a.n.g Baole wasn’t without a backup plan. After all, this was his city, his Eternal Fortress!
However, the new city was too large. Therefore, in order for it to be transformed into an Eternal Fortress, time was needed for activation. Right now, as it was in the process of activation, delaying time was of utmost importance.
His calm and confident voice had an extremely significant impact on all the anxious cultivators in the new city. It managed to calm countless cultivators. Li Wan’er, the Deputy City Lord, knew that even though her job now was tough, the matters that w.a.n.g Baole had to handle were even more challenging.
Therefore, the two of them split up the work. Li Wan’er took charge of suppressing the catacombs, while w.a.n.g Baole was in charge of… the python at the perfected Core Formation realm. There was no time to think too much, and Li Wan’er immediately took action after taking a deep breath.
Wen Huai and Liu Daobin acted as well. Even though Chen Mu didn’t show up personally, he arranged for his a.s.sistants to lead people to join in the suppression. As he was the only one who knew about the plan, the a.s.sistants leading the men behaved genuinely in their efforts at suppression.
At the same time, Kong Dao also made preparations. There were three Core Formation realm cultivators from the military who were following him. As they protected Kong Dao, they also looked extremely solemn. Behind them, thousands of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators and many more True Breath realm cultivators, were putting in their utmost effort at this crucial juncture—regardless of their cultivation level. Even if it was just one spell, it could become a true force through unison.
Jin Duoming and Lin Tianhao also took action and gathered all their forces. Lin Tianhao was in charge of the four Dao Colleges, according to w.a.n.g Baole’s arrangement.
With everything put in place, w.a.n.g Baole, who was standing on the rooftop of his residence, raised his head and was looking at the python as it banged into the array formation. As the deafening boom reverberated, the cracks in the array formation grew even more prominent. w.a.n.g Baole knew that he couldn’t afford to wait anymore.
I’m going all out! w.a.n.g Baole took a deep breath, and a look of viciousness flashed across his eyes. Decisively, as the python roared and banged into the array formation again, w.a.n.g Baole immediately activated his hand seals and pointed at the array formation!
The moment he pointed, the protective array formation of the entire New Mars Region turned into something like a water wave. Instantly, numerous ripples were produced, spreading at high speed. As the python collided while roaring, the spot on the array formation that it clashed into turned into a vortex immediately, which swiftly widened as if a new cavity was formed!
The moment the cavity appeared, which was the moment the python struck, its gigantic skull directly entered the array formation’s protection. A flash appeared across w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes as he abandoned the idea of trapping the python within the array formation. It was just too dangerous, and it was very likely that the array formation would break down at an even faster rate as the python struggled.
If there was no fog… w.a.n.g Baole clenched his fist. At that moment, the python’s body wriggled in, becoming clearly visibly. Its body was thousands of feet long and extremely large. It looked more like a tadpole than a python, as its skull was significantly larger than its body.
It charged into the array formation, and w.a.n.g Baole shut the array formation again. Kong Dao, who had already made the necessary preparations, revealed an intention to kill in his eyes and acted immediately.
Instantly, the True Breath realm and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators around Kong Dao took out their Dharmic Artifacts. In unison, rays of spells rose to the sky. As they charged towards the python, the three Core Formation realm cultivators from the military, as well as the Core Formation realm cultivators from the four Dao Colleges and the Trilunaris Corporation, which amounted to ten people in total, dashed out towards the python.
Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming took action as well. Under Lin Tianhao’s command, and with everything prepared, the cultivators from the four Dao Colleges also charged. They roared, and they were so loud that it was like thunder reverberating, or like millions of arrows firing at the same time!
That was especially so for Jin Duoming, the young master of the Trilunaris Corporation, who was equipped with Dharmic Artifacts that had high killing power. It was the same for his bodyguards as well. Right now, they unleashed everything with a loud bang.
Even his fortress rose into the sky under his control. Disregarding the price and the Spirit Stones required, it shot at the python in unison. To Jin Duoming, he felt that it was more important than anything to protect the safety of the new city. After all, the research facility had already approved it. All that he had prepared was ready now, and he wouldn’t let the appearance of the python negate all his previous efforts.
“Kill this son of a b*tch!” Jin Duoming’s eyes were bloodshot. As he roared, he gritted his teeth and controlled his fortress. As the fortress attacked, it charged ruthlessly towards the python and banged into it!
