Chapter 1524

Everyone was excited. With thunder as a backup, destroying the Nether Realm was just around the corner.

But after the old man heard this, his expression remained solemn. He shook his head and said, "This power of thunder is indeed terrifying, but it might not be able to kill hundreds of thousands of battle spirits. Especially in that starry sky city. Although they didn't have time to activate the great defensive array, the buildings in the city might have defensive arrays. Once the thunder dissipates, there should still be many battle spirits alive. There will be a fierce battle to come. Whether or not they can survive and complete their mission will depend on how many battle spirits can survive."

As the others heard this, their joyful expressions immediately vanished, replaced by ugly ones.

If what the old man said was true, then they would be in trouble.

Nether Realm.

In the skies above starry sky city, the rumbling of thunder continued for a quarter of an hour. The thunder within the Thunder Gate also fell for a quarter of an hour.

After a quarter of an hour, the thunder was exhausted. The world of the Thunder Gate had completed its mission and vanished. The last bit of the Thunder Clan's obsession with the alien race dissipated. The 60 people in the world of the Thunder Gate returned to the real world.

Although a quarter of an hour had passed, everyone's faces were still filled with shock. They never imagined that Zi Chen would summon so much thunder at such a time.

The shocked crowd was eager to see the results of the thunder, so they all looked down.

The once flat ground outside starry sky city had now become a giant crater. Within the crater, there were still some thunder shockwaves raging, occasionally emitting deep explosive sounds.

Everywhere they looked, charred corpses were strewn across the ground. A pungent smell rose into the air along with the energy shockwaves.

After a quarter of an hour of thunder bombarding the army of 655,555 battle spirits, nearly all of them were annihilated.

During this time, there were occasional pained howls. But from the sounds, it was clear that even if these people didn't die, they were still severely injured. They were no longer a threat to Zi Chen and the others.

Of the 655,555 battle spirits, 45% had died. Less than 65% were injured, and all of them were severely injured.

The battle spirits here were no longer a threat. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the starry sky city below.

In such a large city, everyone could see that over 35% of the buildings had been turned into ruins.

But there were still 75% of the buildings standing. Some of them were emitting black smoke and were damaged in many places, just a hair's breadth away from collapsing. There were also some buildings that weren't too badly damaged, but the ones that attracted the most attention were the ones that were still intact.

The surface of these buildings flashed with remnant energy light. These remnant lights were their own defense, blocking the bombardment of thunder.

Everything was as the old man had predicted.

The terrifying lightning had a great killing power. On the streets, there were no living battle spirits, only charred corpses. However, one or two battle spirits would occasionally climb out of the collapsed buildings. As for the battle spirits in the towering buildings, they were completely unscathed.

"To think that they weren't completely wiped out."

Seeing a large number of Battle Spirits appear in the originally silent city, Man Shi appeared slightly disappointed.

"Compared to a quarter of an hour ago, this is like the difference between heaven and earth. Let's go and destroy the summoning platform first."

Zi Chen patted Man Shi's shoulder. Then, he transformed into a streamer of light, and flew towards the center of the city.

There, a huge summoning platform appeared. Endless thunder rumbled, but the summoning platform was not destroyed.

Man Shi and the others followed in a flash.

Near the recruitment platform, there were several tall buildings that were still intact. At this moment, battle spirits were constantly rushing out from them.

He flashed into the city, and the slaughter started again.

"Destroy the summoning platform first."

After Zi Chen killed more than a dozen battle spirits with a single slash, he shouted to the people behind him.

The three guides nodded. Then, everyone rushed towards the summoning platform.

When they arrived at the summoning platform, the three of them split into three directions and began to destroy the summoning platform. Zi Chen and the others guarded the surroundings to prevent the battle spirits from coming to stop them.

"Kill, kill these humans."

"The summoning platform cannot be destroyed. Kill the humans first."

Battle spirits rushed out of the buildings one after another. Hundreds of thousands of people had been killed, but the number of battle spirits was still large. After rushing out of the buildings, seeing that the humans were about to destroy the last summoning platform, the surviving battle spirits became crazy and rushed towards them without regard for their lives.

"Boom!"

Zi Chen waved his hand. A large area of lightning appeared. The charging lightning turned into a huge thunder ball and swept the charging battle spirits in.

Then, Zi Chen drew his sword. The sharp sword light swept to the side and instantly killed five or six battle spirits.

Jin Qingcheng was guarding him from the side. She was seriously injured when blocking the door, so it was a little difficult for her to stop these crazy battle spirits.

The slaughter continued. Many battle spirits fell, but more and more battle spirits appeared in the sight of Zi Chen and the others.

"There should be only 60 humans left. Let's close the door and beat the dogs."

A battle spirit who seemed to have a high status appeared. When he saw Zi Chen and the other 60 humans from afar, his eyes flashed with cold killing intent.

"Activate the defensive array."

With a loud shout, the defensive array of the starry sky city was finally activated. However, because of the previous lightning baptism, many of the array bases were damaged. The activated array's defense was not as good as it was at its peak.

Even so, this defensive array was not something that Zi Chen and the others could break.

"Oh no, we can't get out." Looking at the light shield that enveloped the entire city, Man Shi screamed.

Zi Chen smiled coldly and said, "Since we can't get out, let's kill like crazy."

…

…

The 85,555 soldiers in the forest were finally destroyed by everyone's all-out attack.

The group of living humans walked out of the forest, and Wu Xie began to count the number of people.

Zi Chen took away 69 people, and there were still 24 people left. Now there were 91 people left. The number of casualties was as high as 88, and many of the 91 people alive were seriously injured.

The leader was Wu Xie, who had been following Zi Chen all this time. After the losses were accounted for, the twins and Shang Guan Hong also walked out of the forest. The three of them collected the remaining mountain spirits and ancient tree spirits that were still alive.

"I wonder how Zi Chen is doing. We have to go and take a look."

Wu Xie said in a deep voice. Then, the group turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the starry sky city.

Dong Qing and Shang Guan Hong had been worried about Zi Chen. They felt that following the main group was too slow, so Dong Qing summoned the Aurora Pegasus and moved forward quickly.

When they arrived at the starry sky city, the two of them saw the isolated starry sky city, and their expressions changed instantly.

The deep pit outside the city was filled with corpses. There were battle spirits and slaves. Under the lead of the Aurora Pegasus, the two of them circled around the battlefield and didn't find any human corpses. They heaved a sigh of relief.

If they weren't dead, then they were naturally in the starry sky city. However, the formation above the starry sky city had already been activated.

The two of them rushed to the sky above the starry sky city and looked down at the city, but they couldn't see anything. They tried to launch a few attacks, but they didn't even cause a ripple.

How could the two of them break through the formation of a city?

Wu Xie and the others rushed over. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were shocked. There were no less than 655,555 corpses on the ground. They didn't understand how Zi Chen did it.

During this time, there were some wailing battle spirits. These battle spirits were all seriously injured. After asking Zi Chen and the others for information, they were directly killed.

"Did you see Zi Chen?" Wu Xie flew towards the two of them.

The two of them shook their heads. Dong Qing pointed at the light shield below and said, "There are no traces of him outside. Zi Chen might have entered. We have to break the light shield quickly."

"Alright. Gu Wen, Ma Yingqiang, quickly set up the formation."

The two brothers hurried over and started to set up the formation in the air.

The others were looking for battle spirits that were seriously injured but not dead. After finding them, they asked Zi Chen and the others for information. After failing to find any, they killed them again.

Purely out of luck, they actually found a living slave. A cultivator who was good at searching souls stepped forward and easily searched the slave's memories.

After seeing the scene through the memories, the cultivator's face was immediately filled with shock.

When everyone heard that Zi Chen summoned endless lightning and directly destroyed an army of 655,555, even the starry sky city was affected, they were all shocked.

Wu Xie's face was very gloomy. The whole story was very clear. Zi Chen led people in and destroyed the recruitment platform. He only hoped that Zi Chen could hold on for a while longer.

Outside, the twins were breaking the formation. In the starry sky city, the front of Zi Chen and the others was already covered with battle spirits' corpses.

Facing Zi Chen and the others' near-massacre battle, these battle spirits were not afraid at all. Instead, they attacked even more fiercely.

This was because the recruitment platform was about to be destroyed.

"Boom!"

Two hours later, the largest, most important, and last recruitment platform was destroyed. It turned into endless ruins and could never be restored.

With the destruction of the recruitment platform, the mysterious connection between the Nether Realm and the Manor Realm was completely cut off.

From now on, the awakened battle spirits of other races would not be recruited.

This was the ultimate goal of Zi Chen and the others. Now that they had completed their mission, the three guides heaved a huge sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jin Qingcheng collapsed from her injuries.

"Protect Jin Qingcheng," Zi Chen said.

Shan Lei went forward and brought Jin Qingcheng back to the ruins of the recruitment platform. He replaced Jin Qingcheng's position.

Then, the other three titled cultivators also collapsed and were replaced by Ba Dao and Zhong Chui. Then, the 66-person team began to shrink and defend.

Because of the lightning on him, Zi Chen had more space to defend. However, after a while, the lightning was almost exhausted.

During the battle, Man Shi inadvertently looked up and saw figures flashing outside the light shield. He looked happy and said, "They're here."

Zi Chen saw Wu Xie and the others, as well as the anxious Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing. However, the latter did not see them and looked back at the battlefield. Zi Chen said calmly, "The twins need one day to break the formation. We have to hold on for at least one day."

"One day." Man Shi's expression was bitter.

It was not easy for the two of them to break the formation in such a big city in one day.

The destruction of the recruitment platform destroyed the hope of the battle spirits. The battle spirits attacked even more desperately and fell one after another. Everyone was exhausted and almost exhausted. They were all seriously injured.

In the end, even Dark Mantle and Man Shi could not hold on any longer and collapsed.

Only Zi Chen and the three guides were left. Zi Chen had endless power, but the three guides did not. The three of them could not hold on any longer.

Zi Chen glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, take care of the others. Leave this to me."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for their response, a violet gold gourd charged out from Zi Chen's sea of consciousness. A misty light descended from the mouth of the gourd, enveloping the group of 69 people before taking them away.

Zi Chen was the only one left at the scene.
