The Fire Spirit Race’s Secret Technique was powerful. However, the more powerful a Secret Technique was, the bigger the price they had to pay.

Helping Each Other Out could combine their auras into one, but as they did that, they had to bear pressure that surpassed their limits.

After the Secret Technique was activated, many Fire Spirit Race members exploded and died because they were not powerful enough.

Even those who successfully activated the Secret Technique would be significantly weakened afterwards.

Unless their lives were at stake, Fire Spirit Race members usually wouldn’t use such a trump card.

Therefore, Wan Zhanggang felt helpless as he had no idea why these Fire Spirit Race members had gone mad.

Unbeknownst to him, these Fire Spirit Race members had lost their sanity after being confined for thousands of years or more. The sight of Humans could easily trigger their murderous intent.

That was the reason they pursued Lu Ye and Ying Wuji all the way to this place.

The Fire Spirit Race member in the Divine Ocean Realm was surrounded by thousands of his clansmen, and his aura was outrageously powerful. Even the glow on his skin seemed impossibly bright.

Many Fire Spirit Race members in the Real Lake Realm also merged their auras with one another, allowing them to become much stronger.

Looking from afar, the initially disorganised Fire Spirit Race members seemed to have been transformed. Their formations, which were made up of different numbers of people, were now streaming towards Lone Cloud City Pass.

From a distance, they looked like fireballs of different sizes as they inched closer to Thousand Demon Ridge’s defence line.

On the wall, the Wards were still continuously running, but they weren’t effective against the enemies anymore.

Having come together as formations, every fireball had at least several Fire Spirit Race members in the Real Lake Realm as the core while the other clansmen surrounded them. Their ability to fend off attacks from Humans improved tremendously.

Amidst the storm of attacks, more and more Fire Spirit Race members were impacted and struck away from their fireballs. They were instantly killed.

There were also fireballs that exploded in mid-air, and all the Fire Spirit Race members in the formations lost their lives.

However, the pace of Fire Spirit Race members getting closer to the city hastened.

Ten kilometres, five kilometres, three kilometres…

Even though many of them had been killed and they were at risk of losing all their members, they were determined to retaliate against Humans.

Seeing that Fire Spirit Race members were about to reach the city, someone was heard growling, “Get it started!”

A rumbling sound was suddenly heard. As the entire Lone Cloud City Pass was shaking, the ward keystones that had been placed around the city were activated. A large number of Spirit Stones were consumed as a layer of light screen rose up and covered the entire city.

The closest Fire Spirit Race members were only one kilometre away from Lone Cloud City. Just as they were about to barge into the city, they were blocked out by the Grand Ward. The fireballs crashed into the light screen, forming dents in it. Nevertheless, it was soon restored to its original state. Ripples spread from the points that had been crashed into.

The Grand Ward here was significantly sturdier than anything found on the Spirit Creek Battlefield or the Cloud River Battlefield.

The Grand Defensive Wards of all the Passes on both sides were built by Divine Ocean Realm Masters, so they were unimaginably robust.

The fireballs were blocked out by the Grand Ward. Regardless of what the Fire Spirit Race members did, they couldn’t break the light screen.

However, the attacks from Lone Cloud City wouldn’t stop.

The Grand Defensive Ward could fend off attacks from the outside but not from the outside. Although Fire Spirit Race members were barred from entering the city, the attacks from Humans were not affected.

At that moment, Fire Spirit Race members could only passively deal with the attacks.

That was the cruel reality of attacking a city. Those within the city were undoubtedly in an advantageous position as they had all sorts of defences to help. On the other hand, if the attackers wanted to achieve their goal, they had to break the other party’s Grand Defensive Ward as quickly as they could.

Nevertheless, a Ward built by Divine Ocean Realm Masters couldn’t be shattered easily.

The fireballs continuously crashed into the light screen. Although these Fire Spirit Race members were unafraid of death, they could hardly achieve their goal. More and more formations were shattered during the process. Many of them were injured or killed.

Somewhere on the wall, Lu Ye observed everything in silence.

Suddenly, he had a wild idea. If he destroyed one of the ward keystones in the Grand Defensive Ward, he could cause huge losses to Lone Cloud City.

As soon as the thought turned over in his mind, he caught sight of Ying Wuji turning to look at him.

As though being able to read Lu Ye’s mind, Ying Wuji whispered, “Don’t do anything foolish. If you dare do something to harm us, I’ll expose you even if I’ll be punished by the Heavens!”

He was forced to let Lu Ye make use of him to enter Lone Cloud City Pass. However, if this guy had the audacity to harm them, Ying Wuji wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Now, he just hoped that the war would end soon so that Lu Ye would get lost.

He couldn’t possibly stay in Lone Cloud City Pass anymore. If he wasn’t killed in this war, he would make a request to be assigned to another Pass afterwards.

“What can I possibly do?” Lu Ye asked impassively.

“You know that fully well,” Ying Wuji replied in a small voice.

“Don’t worry. I don’t want to die yet.”

If he made a move here, his identity would be exposed. Although he could cause serious losses to Lone Cloud City Pass, he would also end up in a horrible state.

Also, Lu Ye had never intended to do such a thing. It was merely a thought that turned over in his mind.

Seeing that Lu Ye indeed didn’t have such an intention, Ying Wuji set his mind at ease.

Just then, a turn of events took place on the battlefield.

Even though many of their clansmen were killed, they were still unable to destroy the Grand Ward. As such, the Fire Spirit Race member in the Divine Ocean Realm decided to personally make a move.

The formation around him was the largest on the battlefield. From afar, he no longer looked like a fireball. Instead, he looked like a Sun that had descended from the sky.

A horrifying pressure spread in all directions. The Sun fell from the sky and crashed into the light screen.

In an instant, a huge dent formed in the light screen as though it couldn’t bear the pressure any longer. Everyone felt their heart leaping to their throat, worried that the Grand Ward would be shattered.

Fortunately, the Grand Ward was sturdy enough to fend off the attack.

At the same time, the Wards on the wall were activated as the cultivators launched attacks against the Sun and killed the Fire Spirit Race members that had come together as formations.

Given how dense the attacks were, even the Fire Spirit Race member in the Divine Ocean Realm couldn’t dodge them.

The Wards in Lone Cloud City were continuously running. More and more Fire Spirit Race members were killed, and the dazzling Sun was shrinking.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

The Fire Spirit Race members relentlessly kept crashing into the Grand Ward regardless of the price they had to pay.

“It can’t hold on any longer!” Wan Zhanggang had been paying close attention to the Grand Defensive Ward’s strength. As the light screen had become so thin, he knew the Grand Ward couldn’t be sustained any longer.

As a thought turned over in his mind, he made a shocking decision.

Rather than waiting for Fire Spirit Race members to shatter the Grand Ward, he decided to open it up. That way, he could ensure the Grand Ward’s integrity at the very least.

Having made up his mind, he immediately gave an order.

The cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge instantly received the order through the military tokens, and they hurriedly got ready.

Now, the Sun was only half of its original size, which meant that half of the Fire Spirit Race members who made up this formation were now dead. The surviving ones appeared listless. It seemed that they couldn’t hold on any longer either.

As the Sun descended again, the Wards on the wall were activated as the cultivators cast attacks at the Sun.

Although the Sun was still imposing as it inched closer to the Grand Ward, its size had shrunk again.

Just as the Sun was about to come into contact with the Grand Ward, the light screen suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a ray of light shot into the sky. As his vitality boiled around him, the person crashed into the Sun. The burly figure in the ray of light was none other than Wan Zhanggang.

Just like his name suggested, he was a Body-tempering Cultivator. His cultivation had come to a point where his body was as sturdy as a Spirit Treasure.

That was the reason he had the courage to deal with the Sun formed by Fire Spirit Race members head-on.

Soon enough, the Sun and the ray of light clashed.

A moment of silence ensued as the mighty pressure exploded. A layer of air blast spread in all directions. The impact was so powerful that the cultivators on the wall almost lost their balance.

Wan Zhanggang was heard growling as all his muscles clenched. He hovered in mid-air with both of his hands raised. As his Spiritual Power surged, he managed to hold up the falling Sun.

At that moment, all the cultivators were amazed by how heroic he was.

Suddenly, a crack was heard. Wan Zhanggang’s figure fell by several metres. He appeared to be in a difficult situation as his vitality was boiling. His skin was as red as a cooked shrimp.

“Get lost!” When a roar was heard, Wan Zhanggang lifted his hands, after which his vitality and Spiritual Power formed into fist phantoms as they struck the Sun.

At the same time, the Divine Ocean Realm being in the Sun activated a Secret Technique to attack Wan Zhanggang.

The immense forces clashed with one another. As the light exploded, it was so dazzling that all the cultivators couldn’t see anything else.

A boom was suddenly heard as though something had exploded, and then something was heard falling.

When the dust settled, they opened their eyes and were shocked to see the sight before them.

The Sun had been shattered. The Fire Spirit Race members who had surrounded the Divine Ocean Realm being to create a formation were all dead. Only the Divine Ocean Realm being had survived, but he was now tangled up in a fight with a charming woman.

Tan Yaoniang had made a move.

Although she wasn’t as powerful as Wan Zhanggang, she was a Divine Ocean Realm Master at the very least. She wielded her long sword and cast Sword Qi at the Fire Spirit Race member in the Divine Ocean Realm. No one seemed to be in an advantageous position.

On the other hand, Wan Zhanggang knelt on one knee in Lone Cloud City as he sprayed out a mouthful of blood. He appeared listless, and even his arms were charred. It was apparent that he had suffered a huge setback in the fight.

His aura was a mess, and his vitality was thin. There was no doubt he looked weak.

He was swaying a little. It was as though anyone could easily end his life.

Dozens of metres away, a figure no one could see stood silently in the shadows. She looked at Wan Zhanggang with a calm gaze.

If it weren’t for the fact that she understood Wan Zhanggang fully well through years of contending with him, she would’ve been fooled.

They knew each other only too well after years of fighting each other. Others might think Wan Zhanggang was powerless to defend himself, but the woman knew it was only a pretence.

Wan Zhanggang was undoubtedly injured, but his injury couldn’t possibly be so serious. He was trying to prompt the woman to make a move.
