Chapter 4078: Thirty Thousand Years (Gone Today)

Time passed, and thirty thousand years went by. On the Chaos Continent, Xuanyu City.

Thousands of Chaos Beasts were laying siege to Xuanyu City. These beasts could not get within a thousand feet of the city, which was protected by fifty Immortal Extermination Cannons on its walls, including eight mid-grade ones.

Sixty Immortal Armor Army soldiers, armed with uniform golden spears, were battling Chaos Beasts at the True Immortal stage.

Chen Yueying, Lan Fukong, Li Tianhe, Li Qinghuan, Gongsun Yang, Sun Tianhu, Cilei, Wang Lihe, and others were among them. Bai Yuqi stood on the city wall, holding a flickering formation plate, controlling the Immortal Extermination Cannons to assist them in slaying the Chaos Beasts.

Wang Yunlong, Wang Yinyin, and Wang Huayue were all wearing Chaos Armor; they were part of the Immortal Armor Army.

Wang Qingfeng could now refine low-grade Chaos Armor, but not mid-grade yet, mainly due to the lack of sufficient Primordial Stones for practice.

Bai Yuqi, Bai Ling'er, Dong Xueli, Sun Yuejiao, Du Xueyao, and Xiahou Yao had successively advanced to the Golden Immortal stage. The Wang family's strength was growing, and the number of true spirits was increasing. Wang Yunlong, Wang Xianzong, and four others had successively cultivated into true spirits, but they were ordinary true spirits, still unable to physically contend with True Immortal stage Chaos Beasts.

With more Golden Immortal cultivators in the clan, their strength greatly increased, making it much easier to gather cultivation resources. When Primordial Stones were collected, Wang Qingfeng used them to refine low-grade Chaos Armor.

The Wang family already possessed seventy pieces of low-grade Chaos Armor. This count did not include those sold or given to individuals who had made significant contributions; otherwise, the number would be even higher.

Sixty Immortal Armor Army soldiers were stationed on the Chaos Continent, divided into six teams of ten. Another ten were training in the Tianchen Sea Region, which served as the Wang family's talent cultivation base. Once talents reached a certain cultivation level, they would travel to the Chaos Continent for experience, gather cultivation resources, and transport them back to the Tianchen Sea Region, thus fostering more talents in a dual-directional cycle.

Each Immortal Armor Army team had one main captain and two vice-captains, serving as reserve talents. In the future, when the Immortal Armor Army expanded, the vice-captains would become full captains.

Chen Yueying, wielding a golden spear, joined Lan Fukong and nine others in besieging a late-stage True Immortal four-colored Chaos Beast. The ten golden spears struck the beast repeatedly, leaving only shallow marks. Then, over a dozen thick beams of light shot forth, striking the four-colored Chaos Beast one after another, instantly creating multiple long, deep gashes on its body.

Chen Yueying flicked her wrist, and a surge of golden flames erupted from her golden spear, streaking towards the four-colored Chaos Beast. Lan Fukong and the others followed suit, and rolling flames engulfed the beast. Its massive body writhed ceaselessly as another dozen thick light beams struck it, leaving even more bloody gashes.

Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, and other sword cultivators, wielding their flying swords, simultaneously unleashed sharp sword lights that merged into one, striking a four-colored Chaos Beast and leaving a long bloody gash on its body.

Wang Yunlong moved his fists, striking a three-colored Chaos Beast, sending it flying backward. A flying three-colored Chaos Beast then descended from the sky, its sharp talons aiming directly for Wang Yunlong's chest.

Its talons struck Wang Yunlong's chest, and the immense impact knocked him backward. Fortunately, he was wearing Chaos Armor and suffered no serious harm. With the sixty Immortal Armor Army soldiers coordinating skillfully and the assistance of the Immortal Extermination Cannons, the Chaos Beasts were utterly unable to approach within a thousand feet of Xuanyu City.

In the distance, Wang Mengbin, Wang Yingjie, and Wang Yidao were attacking a six-colored Chaos Beast. Wang Qingshan, Liu Hongxue, and Ye Haitang dealt with another six-colored Chaos Beast, while Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Bai Ling'er attacked a third six-colored Chaos Beast, aided by Golden Immortal stage puppet beasts.

The six-colored Chaos Beast's massive body crashed into Wang Yingjie, sending him flying backward. A five-colored halo burst forth from his body, swiftly passing over the six-colored Chaos Beast.

The six-colored Chaos Beast seemed to be momentarily frozen, but it quickly regained freedom after a six-colored spiritual light surged from its body. At that moment, eight thick beams of light shot forth, striking it one after another, instantly creating multiple bloody gashes on its body.

Wang Mengbin, wielding a silver halberd, lightly shook it, and countless silver electric arcs swept out, transforming into a massive silver lightning dragon that slammed into the six-colored Chaos Beast.

A thunderous roar sounded as dazzling silver lightning enveloped the six-colored Chaos Beast's body. Wang Mengbin swung his halberd, heading straight into the silver lightning.

With a dull thud, the six-colored Chaos Beast was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. Before it could get back up, a massive black blade light swept over, cleaving into the six-colored Chaos Beast. Several scales fell from its body, blood flowed incessantly, and its aura grew increasingly weak.

A rumbling sound of thunder came from high above as thick silver lightning pillars descended from the sky, striking the six-colored Chaos Beast one after another. Dazzling lightning once again engulfed the beast.

Bai Yuqi assisted by controlling the mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, all three six-colored Chaos Beasts were slain, and not a single True Immortal stage Chaos Beast escaped.

This was not surprising; with eight mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons and over a dozen Golden Immortal cultivators, repelling the beast tide was too easy.

Wang Qingshan and other Golden Immortal cultivators collected the corpses of the Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts. Chen Yueying and other Immortal Armor Army members each took three corpses of True Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, then withdrew into the city, sending people to process the beast corpses.

In the council hall, Wang Qingshan sat in the main seat, while Wang Qingfeng and others sat on either side, all with smiles on their faces.

"This time, all three six-colored Chaos Beasts that attacked were slain by us. The Yellow City under our jurisdiction also repelled the invading Chaos Beasts," Wang Qingfeng stated.

Each Yellow City possessed three low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons and over thirty True Immortal cultivators, ready to assist Xuanyu City at any time, so it was not surprising that they repelled the Chaos Beast attacks.

Wang Qingshan nodded and said, "Send people to heighten vigilance; we cannot be careless. Now that this beast tide is over, another one should not erupt for tens of thousands of years. We can look forward to a period of recuperation and strengthen our defenses."

Each time they repelled a Chaos Beast attack, at least thirty thousand years would pass before another beast tide erupted. During this time, the Wang family would acquire cultivation resources, enhance their defenses, and forge more low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons and low-grade Chaos Armor.

Wang Qingfeng and the others agreed, their faces alight with smiles.

Wang Qingshan gave a few instructions, then dismissed everyone else, leaving only Wang Qingfeng. "Have Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt not returned yet?" he asked.

"No news yet," Wang Qingfeng replied. "Counting the time, they have indeed been out for quite a long period this time, almost forty thousand years."

"Now that the beast tide is over, you, Xueli, and Haitang will escort a batch of supplies back to the Tianchen Sea Region. Be careful on the way," Wang Qingshan instructed.

"Seventh Brother, is there important news? Why do we need three Golden Immortal cultivators to escort the goods?" Wang Qingfeng asked, puzzled.

"Chuanming has uncovered another major case," Wang Qingshan explained. "An unknown force is inquiring about the situation of our family's high-ranking members. Their intentions are unclear, but it's likely the Murong family. It's better to be cautious."

Wang Chuanming was effective in his duties, successively unearthing multiple enemy spies. Unfortunately, the mastermind operated remotely, so their identity remained unknown. Consequently, the Wang family could only strengthen its defenses.

The Wang family possessed over a dozen Golden Immortal cultivators, far surpassing the Nine Immortal Sect. They had become one of the fastest-rising forces in the Tianchen Sea Region. Coupled with their two allied families by marriage, the Qi family and the Zhang family, they now had the strength to challenge the Murong family's status. The Nine Immortal Sect, Hundred Refinements Island, and the Snow Crystal Race also stood opposed to the Murong family.
