Chapter 1526

After a day and a night, they finished setting up the formation.

The twins then arranged the mountain spirits according to the formation. Finally, they summoned the mountain spirit king and placed it above the starry sky city.

The formation was activated, and beams of light appeared. The mountain spirits were activated, releasing their power and injecting it into the mountain spirit king.

A violent aura swept through the sky, and a storm appeared out of nowhere. A huge mountain peak fell from the sky with a vast power.

"Boom!"

The mountain peak fell heavily, and the light shield trembled. Ripples spread out.

Such a powerful attack, but the effect was minimal. This made the twins' faces turn ugly.

If they continued to bombard the city like this, even if hundreds of such attacks were launched, they might not be able to break the formation below.

City Defense Formation and Guardian Formation were only one word apart, but the effect was much worse.

"Break the formation quickly," Wu Xie said in a low voice when he saw this scene.

The two brothers nodded and no longer had any scruples. As they changed the seals in their hands, dozens of mountains below exploded.

A destructive power emerged from the exploded mountains. This power was absorbed by the formation and transferred into the huge mountains.

"Boom!"

The mountain spirit king was on went completely berserk. An unimaginable power was released from it, and the surrounding space began to distort violently. The mountain spirit king crashed down, and a terrifying power erupted. The entire starry sky city began to shake, and the light shield of the formation began to distort.

In the starry sky city, the battle spirits who had been mocking the humans for attacking the weak were shocked after the mountain spirit king's second attack.

"Again!"

The twins shouted and controlled the mountain spirit king to rise from the ground.

Another mountain peak exploded, and the formation began to absorb the power crazily. It was then converted into the mountain spirit king's body.

"Boom." "Boom."

Loud sounds rang out, and the entire starry sky city trembled violently. The defensive formation in the sky began to distort crazily, forming all kinds of strange shapes.

The power that formed the formation was constantly being consumed under the mountain spirit king's attacks.

In the city, almost no battle spirits could stand as the tremors continued.

Many buildings collapsed in the tremors.

The foreign race leader looked up and saw the defensive formation in danger. His eyes were filled with despair.

He knew it was over. The starry sky city was completely finished.

"Boom!"

With a final explosion, the array was broken, and the starry sky city appeared before everyone's eyes.

When the tyrannical energy and the pervading smoke and dust dispersed, what entered everyone's eyes were corpses and despairing battle spirits, but no humans were seen.

Shangguan Hong and Dong Qing's eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell from their cheeks.

Wu Xie frowned, feeling downcast.

As for the other humans who had soared into the sky, they fell silent after seeing what had happened below. The silence made them very sad. On one hand, it was because of Zi Chen, and on the other hand, it was because of themselves. After all, only Zi Chen was in control of the way back. If Zi Chen died, even if they survived, they would not be able to return.

Everyone was extremely dejected, so much so that they forgot to kill the remaining battle spirits.

Suddenly, they saw light erupt from a certain place in the city. A figure appeared. That figure was shining from head to toe and was extremely eye-catching. Streaks of lightning surged around him. This was someone who was naturally surrounded by lightning radiance.

Everyone's dejected, disappointed, and sad expressions lit up when they saw that figure.

Because that person was none other than Zi Chen.

Zi Chen, who had reappeared, not only did he not have any injuries, but he also looked like he was at his peak, showing off his ability and powerful confidence.

But was Zi Chen the only one left out of the 60?

In the next moment, the light flashed again, and the other 69 people appeared.

After more than a day of recovery, although everyone's injuries had not fully healed, their spirits were much better.

When everyone saw Zi Chen at his peak, they were all stunned.

After all, after so long, they all thought that it was already a miracle that Zi Chen could hold on until now. However, not only did Zi Chen hold on until now, but he was also at his peak.

As they looked up, they found that the light shield had disappeared. The array was broken, and reinforcements had indeed come.

A group of humans descended from the sky and arrived beside the 60 people.

Zi Chen glanced at everyone, counted the number of people, and said, "Only these people are left."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Thirty-three died in this battle."

People were bound to die in war. This was something that Zi Chen had expected. He collected his thoughts and turned his gaze to the battle spirits of the foreign races.

The human reinforcements had arrived, and each of them was like a pack of wolves and tigers, revealing their killing intent. The battle spirits in the city, which were not many to begin with, were in complete despair.

There was no defensive array in the sky, but there was another array, and there were two humans controlling this array. The battle spirits were completely dead.

Despair.

Complete despair.

After despair, they attacked desperately, hoping to exchange a life for a life.

After a battle to the death, they were all dead.

All the battle spirits in the entire starry sky city were killed, and not a single one was left alive.

Wu Xie took out the map again, and there were two small towns marked on it. He asked Zi Chen if he wanted to go and destroy them. Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, that small town has already lost its battle spirits."

Indeed, when the starry sky city was on the brink of life and death, the battle spirits of these small towns had already been summoned. Now, they were all empty.

This time, everyone had completed their mission perfectly, and many of them were crying tears of joy.

Those who survived all had a huge amount of luck points on them. To be honest, they were all starting to worry about whether they would have enough items to exchange after returning to the Tong You Tower.

In the outside world, the cultivators were also cheering, and they were completely relieved.

The old man gestured for everyone to put away the jade slips. The Underworld was completely finished, and these jade slips were useless. Although they would not be destroyed, they would be sealed.

Looking at the excited people on the screen, the old man said with a smile, "Next, it's time to welcome these little guys back."

"Yes, they are all so outstanding. To be able to come back alive, they must have a lot of luck points on them. I'm also a little doubtful whether our items are enough for them to exchange." A cultivator said excitedly.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "Under normal circumstances, of course it's not enough. Send someone to inform them that from now on, everything will be 65 times more expensive."

"Uh …" The group of battle spirits were all stunned.

The old man said nonchalantly, "Although our Manor Realm has collected many shattered Small Worlds back then, we don't have an infinite amount of resources. If they take all of our Small Worlds, who will come to our Manor Realm to train?"

The people behind him could only nod helplessly.

Everyone was very excited that they were going back. Many people rushed into the buildings and the large trading areas to begin their last search. Occasionally, they would encounter one or two battle spirits who were pretending to be dead and killed them directly.

Zi Chen sat alone on the city wall, looking into the distance with a melancholy expression. He seemed absent-minded.

There was a flash of light, and the heavy hammer appeared in front of Zi Chen. He smiled and said, "Everything is over. It's time to go back. You seem very unhappy."

When the old man saw Zi Chen on the screen, he laughed and said, "Tell Zi Chen not to worry. I will fulfill my promise to him. I will complete the mission perfectly and create a miracle. He should be happy."

Zi Chen naturally did not know the old man's words. He looked into the distance, but his heart was in a dilemma. After a while, he sighed and said, "Is everything really over?"

"What do you mean?" Heavy Hammer was stunned and asked in confusion.

In the outside world, the old man and the others were also stunned by Zi Chen's words.

Zi Chen turned to look at Heavy Hammer and said, "Didn't you notice that we haven't encountered any high level foreign battle spirits along the way?"

"High level? Isn't the peak of the second layer high enough? This is the rule of this world. The peak of the second layer is the limit." Heavy Hammer explained with a smile.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "But you are at the third layer domain."

"This is different. I came from the outside world and am not bound by the rules." Heavy Hammer patted Zi Chen's shoulder to reassure him.

"Is that really the case?"

Zi Chen smiled bitterly and said truthfully, "Back then, we had a spiritual confrontation with the one who controlled the mountain spirit king. I know that his strength is definitely above the second layer domain."

Heavy Hammer's expression changed when he heard this.

Zi Chen said, "Even now, I still have the other party's spiritual thought. However, 44% of the battle spirits here are dead, but that spiritual thought still exists."

Zi Chen looked at Heavy Hammer and said, "Big Brother Heavy Hammer, you should understand what I mean."

Heavy Hammer's expression turned ugly, but he could not make up his mind.

"He is right. I also felt that it was strange before, but I always thought that it was the rule. Now, it seems that is not the case." The old man frowned and said in a deep voice.

The others' expressions became unnatural, and their excitement disappeared without a trace.

"If such an existence really exists, why didn't they send reinforcements when the Nether Realm was destroyed?" Someone was puzzled.

"This is indeed a suspicious point, but what if they are doing something more important than the destruction of the Nether Realm?" The old man said.

In the Nether Realm, what could be more important than the destruction of all the battle spirits?

The answer was obvious, and everyone's expression changed.

"Can you find the hiding place of that battle spirit?" On the city wall, Heavy Hammer looked at Zi Chen and asked.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "I have an 35% chance."

"Why are you telling me?" Heavy Hammer asked in confusion, "Isn't it good to go back like this?"

Zi Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. He muttered, "Of course it is good to go back like this, but I am worried that because of my selfishness, I will harm many innocent humans."

Clearly, the intelligent Zi Chen had guessed what was about to happen.

Heavy Hammer's eyes became resolute. He looked at Zi Chen and said, "If I didn't know about this, I naturally wouldn't do anything. But if I knew, I would choose to stay. You should know that this is my mission here."

Zi Chen nodded and said, "I know. Since I said it, I will naturally stay. I am not as resolute as the other Titled individuals, but since things have come to this, I will definitely not back down."

"Then what about the others?" Heavy Hammer asked, looking at Zi Chen with eyes full of admiration.

"I will say that the rule I know is not enough to open the passage here."

Heavy Hammer looked at Zi Chen in surprise. He actually wanted to lie to everyone. This was clearly not Zi Chen's usual style.

"Humanity cannot stand the test, but it is not meant to be tested. The entrance to the Nether Realm can only be opened once, so I will not test humanity at this time. There is no need to test those I deeply believe in, and there is no point in testing those who do not."
