Chapter 3809: The City Falls

“Oh no, reinforcements have arrived!” Bai Xuewei exclaimed in surprise.

Integration Stage cultivators primarily assisted by changing immortal essence stones and lending a hand. Wang Qingshan and over a dozen True Immortal cultivators had been attacking this four-colored Chaos Beast for some time and had already injured it. If it were a solo fight, Bai Xuewei wouldn’t have killed this four-colored Chaos Beast so easily.

Bai Yishan gazed at the two Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts in the distance, his brow furrowed. They hadn't attacked yet. Were they waiting for reinforcements?

A beast-shaped four-colored Chaos Beast charged over, punching the ice layer. The ice shattered, but the four-colored Chaos Beast remained motionless, its spirit flying out.

Hearing this, the cultivators' morale soared, and they intensified their attacks.

Wang Qingshan didn't believe Bai Yishan, but at this moment, there was no other choice but to intensify their attacks and eliminate the Chaos Beasts.

The two groups of Chaos Beasts converged and immediately launched an attack. This time, six Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts also joined the fray.

The one-colored and two-colored Chaos Beasts had long been wiped out. Three-colored Chaos Beasts charged at the forefront, followed by four-colored and five-colored Chaos Beasts.

Bai Xuewei chanted an incantation and channeled it into the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon. The cannon's body lit up with countless mysterious runes, and myriad golden lights emerged from its barrel. An incredibly thick golden beam shot out, plunging into the beast horde.

Dozens of True Immortal-stage three-colored Chaos Beasts were hit by the golden beam, instantly falling to the ground with horrifying bloody holes on their bodies. The golden beam then pierced through the bodies of over a dozen True Immortal-stage four-colored Chaos Beasts, finally striking a Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast. The five-colored Chaos Beast was sent flying backward, a bowl-sized bloody hole on its body.

Wang Qingshan was utterly shocked. A single strike from the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon severely wounded dozens of True Immortal-stage colored Chaos Beasts and even injured a Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast. Its power was far superior to that of a low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon. If a dozen or more medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons fired simultaneously, a single volley could surely kill a Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast! No wonder major forces were collecting core materials for crafting medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons.

There were too many Chaos Beasts. Three-colored Chaos Beasts repeatedly crashed into the city wall, causing it to shake violently.

After two rounds of shelling, hundreds of medium-grade immortal essence stones were depleted of energy and needed replacement. The consumption was astounding, but so was the power.

Using Immortal-Slaying Cannons against Chaos Beasts consumed an exorbitant amount of immortal essence stones. A single medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon required hundreds of thousands of immortal essence stones, and two shots consumed over a hundred medium-grade immortal essence stones. Ordinary forces simply could not afford such expenditure.

The six Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts successively crashed into the city protection formation, causing it to indent and warp.

Bai Yishan attacked the Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, but his efforts were less effective than the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon.

Even a medium-grade immortal artifact striking a Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beast would only leave a shallow cut.

Seeing the defensive formation's spiritual light dimming rapidly, Bai Yishan frowned deeply and ordered, "I'll control the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon. You go deal with the other Chaos Beasts."

Bai Xuewei acknowledged and went to deal with the other Chaos Beasts.

Bai Yishan channeled an incantation into the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon. The cannon's body glowed with dazzling golden light, and an extremely bright golden beam shot out, striking a Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast in the abdomen, immediately creating a horrifying bloody hole.

This Chaos Beast had not died yet; its vitality was tenacious, but its combat power plummeted.

This attack consumed over a hundred medium-grade immortal essence stones. Bai Xuewei quickly replaced them with new medium-grade immortal essence stones. If high-grade immortal essence stones were used to provide energy, the power would be even greater.

A flash of white light, and a small white hammer appeared in the void above its head. After glowing with a dazzling white light, the white hammer's size rapidly expanded, smashing down directly.

With a thunderous roar, the massive white hammer struck the Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast. Its body quickly sank into the ground, and the white hammer emitted a large expanse of white cold energy. Its body rapidly froze, but soon, a brilliant five-colored spiritual light shone on its surface, stopping the ice from spreading and quickly shattering it.

Another thick golden beam shot forth. It tried to evade, but a powerful restraining force emerged out of nowhere. At the same time, the white great hammer shone with blinding white light, and gravity intensified.

It couldn't evade. A horrifying bloody hole appeared on its neck. Having suffered two hits from the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon, it was severely wounded, and its five-colored spiritual light dimmed. Another thick golden beam struck its body, creating yet another horrifying bloody hole on its surface. The five-colored spiritual light flickered incessantly, appearing and disappearing.

Two white lights shot forth; one of them pierced through the Chaos Beast's right eye.

A thick golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the Chaos Beast's body.

At the same time, the white great hammer's spiritual light greatly intensified. The Chaos Beast let out a mournful wail, its body rapidly sinking into the ground. Simultaneously, its surface began to freeze, and a miniature spirit flew out.

With three hits from the medium-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannon, and Bai Yishan's use of a medium-grade immortal artifact and the power of laws, they finally eliminated a Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beast.

Bai Yishan's face showed joy. At this rate, he could eliminate several more Golden Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beasts.

Just then, a thunderous roar echoed through the clouds. The entire Nine Immortals City shook violently, and the city protection formation's spiritual light rapidly dimmed, shattering like a bubble and breaking into pieces.

With the formation broken, Bai Yishan and the others were directly exposed to the Chaos Beasts.

“Oh no, quickly retreat to the inner city!” Bai Yishan exclaimed in alarm.

A phantom image shot over, and he quickly conjured a white, shimmering shield, holding it in front of himself.

Wang Qingshan and the others flew backward rapidly.

The Immortal Armor Army regularly drilled and had skilled coordination; each member was a treasure. It wasn't simply a matter of an immortal donning Chaos armor to instantly become part of the Immortal Armor Army.

Training a single member of the Immortal Armor Army required vast resources and time. The Nine Immortals Sect's Immortal Armor Army could only be considered average; more powerful Immortal Armor Armies mastered combined attack techniques.

The five Immortal Armor Army members quickly retreated to Nine Immortals City. Bai Yishan immediately took out a golden magic disc, channeled an incantation into it, and gestured, requesting reinforcements.

Not every Golden Immortal cultivator could open their sixth aperture. Most Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts were five-colored; six-colored and seven-colored ones were extremely formidable.

Bai Yishan's face turned grim. Even with the protection of a second-tier immortal formation, they faced considerable pressure from six Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts.

“Little friend Xu, come back! The Chaos Beasts have reinforced,” Bai Yishan commanded.

The five Immortal Armor Army members had already eliminated many Chaos Beasts, and their immortal essence power was severely depleted. If they continued fighting, they would surely be killed.

Hundreds of Chaos Beasts appeared in the distance, rapidly rushing towards Nine Immortals City. Most were True Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, with three-colored ones forming the majority. There were also over a dozen five-colored Chaos Beasts and four Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts: three five-colored and one six-colored.

Just then, a strange roar that shook the heavens and earth came from afar, and a large black shadow appeared in the distance.

“Reinforcements will arrive soon. Everyone, put in more effort and try to eliminate more Chaos Beasts,” Bai Yishan said in a deep voice, putting away the golden magic disc.

On the city wall, the cultivators were all at their posts.

After several rounds of shelling, over a dozen low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons needed their immortal essence stones replaced. A team of Integration Stage cultivators quickly took out new immortal essence stones, swapped them in, and collected the depleted ones.

The cultivators fought strenuously to eliminate the Chaos Beasts. Five Immortal Armor Army members and over a dozen low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons dealt with Chaos Beasts below four colors, while True Immortal cultivators like Wang Qingshan dealt with four-colored Chaos Beasts. It often required more than twenty True Immortal cultivators to collaborate and spend a certain amount of time to potentially eliminate a True Immortal-stage four-colored Chaos Beast.

The number of Chaos Beasts continuously decreased, but they were incredibly resilient. Some three-colored Chaos Beasts rushed to the base of the wall, their massive bodies crashing into it, yet the city wall remained as stable as a mountain.

Gao Bin held a shimmering golden formation disc in his hand. He channeled an incantation into it, and over a dozen low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons simultaneously fired thick beams of light directly at the Chaos Beasts.

Nine Immortals City had four gates, and each gate had a secondary formation eye. The formation disc Gao Bin held was primarily used to control over a dozen low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons. These low-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons were fixed onto the city wall and could not be easily moved. Their advantage was ease of control; a single True Immortal cultivator could operate over a dozen of them.
