The moment the illusion of the Ancient Demon God Qiongqi appeared, it immediately severely injured the nearby Golden Winged Great Peng!

There was no choice; this creature was simply too close. It didn’t even need to move; with a mere low bow of its head, it could bite down, unable to resist the meat delivered right to its mouth!

Although the number of Spiritual Beasts under Qin Feng was insufficient, only summoning a Demon God Illusion rather than the true form, and without the possession of Qiongqi’s will.

Even so, Qiongqi’s innate ferocity instinctively led it to snap forward fiercely, even faster than Qin Feng’s manipulation.

It can only be said that this Ancient Demon God was extraordinarily powerful and fierce. Even after unknown millennia of death, an illusion formed in a distant small world in the void still wielded such might. Imagine how formidable these Ancient Demon Gods were at their peak!

Indeed, the illusion of the Demon God easily biting the Golden Winged Great Peng could be attributed to its surpassing strength over the Metal Divine Beings’ expectations. Plus, never having encountered such an opponent caught them off guard.

After all, the Metal Creatures of the Flowing Gold World are each armor-clad and tangible as iron clumps, unaccustomed to such an existence with shifting forms between reality and illusion.

Lacking experience, the Golden Winged Great Peng’s attacks hit nothing, passing through the Demon God Illusion ineffectively. When it assumed the illusion was incorporeal, it unexpectedly exploded with substantial war power, nearly severing its body in a single bite!

Once the Golden Winged Great Peng was bitten, it struggled desperately but couldn’t escape Qiongqi’s grip, so it called for help from the gods.

The Toad King and several Divine Spirits certainly couldn’t watch the Golden Winged Great Peng being killed, as their number of Metal Divine Beings dwindled significantly. Losing another, especially a Middle Rank God, was a huge blow.

If too many were lost, even if the Toad King reclaimed the Metal Heart and rose to Half-Step Immortal Realm, without numerous divine aids, it wouldn’t be able to resist the numerous gods and immortals of the Expedition Army alone or with a few.

A Half-Step Immortal is barely at the level when Gui Ling Ancestor was before breaking into the Golden Immortal Realm. Even Gui Ling Ancestor, skilled in calculus, dared not face over a dozen Profound Immortals and Upper Divine Spirits’ siege alone, much less the Toad King from a small world.

With hundreds of immortals and divine spirits, even Gui Ling Ancestor alongside Elder Kongkong would stay far away. Without a significant number of subordinates, no Upper Divine Spirit would dare face so many strong opponents unless they’ve achieved immortality.

“Quick, save it!”

The Toad King ordered the gods and lunged first, his two shells flapping wildly, unleashing an endless Seven-Colored Divine Light toward the Demon God Illusion. At the same time, his hands waved continuously, casting various powerful Supreme Divine Techniques to disperse the Demon God Illusion.

The other divine spirits also exhibited their divine skills, launching a barrage of powerful spells and unleashing ferociously domineering Gold Element Techniques. Depending on their racial talents, they executed dazzling spell attacks.

Some spewed out energy waves like golden waterfalls; others shook their fur, instantly creating countless crisscrossing golden threads. Some waved sharp claws, unleashing golden blades across the sky, chaotic like the wind yet formidable enough to slice the void.

However, these powerful attacks vanished like mud cows into the sea, passing through the Demon God Illusion seemingly without effect.

Some managed to strip away portions of the illusion, but the immense demon energy from two or three million Spiritual Beasts rapidly restored the Demon God!

“Something’s wrong!”

The Toad King suddenly realized: “This monster is formed by the power of those beasts below. As long as that power continues, this monster won’t die. Attack those beasts below, and disrupt their formation!”

The gods realized this and nodded repeatedly.

Just as they prepared to shift their attack direction, a Metal Divine Being covered in countless flowing metallic fur asked: “Toad King, if we all attack the camp below, what about the Golden Winged Great Peng?”

“…”

The Toad King’s face stiffened, momentarily forgetting the Golden Winged Great Peng still struggled in the Demon God’s mouth.

“You disrupt the formation below; I’ll save the Golden Winged Great Peng!”

The Toad King cursed inwardly but reluctantly prioritized saving the Golden Winged Great Peng, not just because they couldn’t afford further losses but also to preserve his dignity from being questioned!

Earlier, he, along with the Camel Dragon and Coiled Python, tried to intimidate the invading army at the front line, delaying decisive battles before the enemy’s fragmented army could consolidate.

It was also because the three kings refused to yield, each aiming to merge with the Metal Heart to advance their realm, without reaching a consensus, they didn’t proceed personally to claim the Metal Heart.

Instead, they dispatched one divine spirit from each of the eight tribes to first extract the Metal Heart and send it to the front. If not feasible, they would split it three ways, each part absorbed to significantly boost their powers.

Among the gods sent by the eight tribes were four Middle Rank and four Lower Rank Metal Divine Beings, deemed foolproof. Still, they encountered the anomaly Qin Feng, who struck down over half of them, suffering severe losses.

Now with the Toad King present, if the Golden Winged Great Peng were killed in front of him, it would not only tarnish his reputation but diminish his authority among the gods, and severely dampen their resolve to resist the invaders.

Therefore, the Toad King, despite reluctance, stimulated his potential, consumed Origin Divine Power, and exerted immense Supreme Divine Skills, aggressively assaulting the Demon God Illusion!

Admittedly, this Metal Divine Being had some capabilities, how else could it be an Upper Peak Realm Divine Spirit. Unleashing full power, recalling the momentum from contending with Qin Feng for the Metal Heart, it executed several Supreme Divine Techniques in succession, severely injuring the Demon God Illusion.

The Demon God Illusion, after all, just an illusion and not the true form, had limited strength. Despite pooling demon power from two or three million Spiritual Beasts, surpassing the Toad King’s divine power, ultimately limited by Qin Feng’s insufficient realm, mostly relying on force over skills.

Such combat tactics were effective against ordinary Upper Divine Spirits, as seen when Great Wizard Sajier was thus defeated.

But facing the Upper Peak Divine Spirit like the Toad King, expending power despite consumption, was somewhat inadequate.

Moreover, while Qin Feng manipulated the Demon God to counter it, he also had to contend with attacks from other Metal Divine Beings.

Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation automatically generated strong defenses once formed, completely passive resistance wouldn’t work, so Qin Feng diverted part of his power against those creatures’ harassment!

Meanwhile, the Toad King, after launching several Supreme Divine Techniques, further combined his shells, spinning rapidly to hurl countless sharp Golden Qi.

Numerous half-moon-shaped Golden Qi sliced towards the illusion’s head while the Toad King himself followed closely, leveraging the rapid shell rotation’s cutting force to cleave through the head, rescuing the Golden Winged Great Peng nearly bitten to death by the illusion.

“Phew… Thank you, Toad King, for saving my life!”

The lucky surviving Golden Winged Great Peng let out a breath and immediately thanked the Toad King!

The Toad King opened its shell, looked coldly at the Golden Winged Great Peng, and said indifferently, “If you can still fight, go disrupt the monster formation below with them. If your injuries are severe and you can’t fight anymore, then retreat and avoid the battle. I don’t have the time to save you again!”

At this moment, the Golden Winged Great Peng looked very miserable, not only were its feathers nearly all gone, looking bare like a plucked roast chicken, but it had dozens of wounds of various sizes, some even piercing through its body, all caused by the bites from the Demon God Illusion.

Fortunately, this creature is a Metal Divine Being, without blood flowing, otherwise, most of its blood might have flowed out!

However, though Metal Creatures have strong attack power and bodies far more solid than ordinary beings of the same level, with many advantages, they also have one downside, which is that their injury recovery is too slow.

Body Refining Cultivators of the same level, even if their body strength is not as good as theirs, can repair injuries in a very short time.

Yet Metal Divine Beings cannot!

With injuries like the Golden Winged Great Peng, without special opportunities, such as absorbing energy similar to the Metal Heart, it can only slowly repair using its own divine power over a long period of recuperation!

After hearing the words of the Toad King, the Golden Winged Great Peng hesitated, but after looking at the situation below, it finally gritted its teeth. “Don’t worry, Toad King, now that our world is facing a crisis of life and death, we all gods should fight to the death without retreat!

If even the Divine do not dare to fight, should we expect ordinary beings of various tribes to fight desperately instead?”

As it spoke, it let out a sharp scream from its mouth and dove down with a resolute momentum, ignoring its injuries, forcibly mobilizing divine power flapped its wings and slashed out countless beams of sharp golden light!

Seeing its fierceness, the Toad King’s stern expression softened slightly, yet its determination became stronger. It looked up again at the restored Demon God Illusion and roared, mustering divine power to attack the Demon God Illusion once more.

It couldn’t attack the Spiritual Beast formation below like the other Metal Divine Beings because a strong being was needed to hold back the Demon God Illusion.

Otherwise, if this powerful Demon God is no longer restrained, they can attempt to disrupt the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, but the Demon God Illusion can also pursue them, slaughtering them!

Facing such a colossal entity, far more powerful, ordinary middle and lower rank god spirits have hardly any strength to counter, just like the Golden Winged Great Peng, which can easily be severely injured by the Demon God!

The Toad King didn’t consume its Origin Divine Power this time, intending to use guerrilla tactics, circling around the colossal Demon God Illusion, launching spell attacks occasionally to entangle Qiongqi, preventing it from turning against the Golden Winged Great Peng and the others.

Meanwhile, it also hoped these Metal Divine Beings could disturb the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, causing the Demon God Qiongqi Illusion to disperse naturally.

Without this colossal entity, with its upper divine spirit peak strength, slaying those ordinary spiritual beasts which haven’t achieved immortality is a piece of cake!

Even if a few Metal Divine Beings rush into the ordinary spiritual beast camp, these ordinary spiritual beasts would suffer heavy losses.

After all, these ordinary spiritual beasts that haven’t achieved immortality probably can’t even break the defense of the Metal Divine Beings; they can only await death before them!

Yet its plan was good, but little did it know that Qin Feng was cunning, with a Divine Turtle skilled in deducing warfare nearby, who would let its well-thought-out plan succeed!

So in just a moment, while the Toad King was entangling the Qiongqi Illusion, it suddenly heard a scream from below, along with the exclamations of several other divine spirits.

The Toad King dodged a strike from Qiongqi and hurriedly turned to look below.

Below, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, a large three-headed dog had leapt out, its three mouths biting the neck and body of a Metal Long Snake at various points, even as the Metal Long Snake coiled its body into a ball, squeezing the dog’s body so hard that its bones were cracking, yet the dog kept pulling downward desperately.

Several Metal Divine Beings cast spells intending to rescue, only to see suddenly a mountain-like turtle shell appear, blocking most attacks, allowing the three-headed Hellhound to drag the Metal Long Snake into the formation of the Ten Thousand Beasts.

The outcome was predictable; once in the enemy camp, the Metal Long Snake had no chance of survival, instantly surrounded and slain by the Demon Immortals.

The Swallowing Sky Toads were powerful, maintaining an orderly formation while displaying divine skills to easily besiege a peer-level god spirit entrapped by the three-headed Hellhound, having numbers on their side!

Seeing the Long Snake’s death, the other Metal Divine Beings felt saddened, not expecting that the colossal Demon God Illusion was already pinned down by the Toad King, yet they couldn’t even disrupt the spiritual beast formation, instead losing another divine spirit to the opponents.

With each divine spirit’s death, their power to resist the invaders grew weaker and weaker, unable to deal with even one Human Clan now. Could it be that this time they are destined to be invaded and have their world occupied?

“Fight them to the end!”

The Golden Winged Great Peng was most furious; its eyes were ablaze with golden light, completely disregarding its injuries, and completely abandoning its previous fear from being defeated by Qin Feng, frantically attacking downwards.

During the crisis, the divine spirits felt a greater influence from the World Will, but also an increased affinity with the Heaven and Earth Laws, allowing them to exert even stronger power.

Thus, at this moment, each Golden Winged Great Peng was filled with high spirits, using the anger over their fallen companions to unleash more power, attacking the enemy camp recklessly.

Though the World Will is ultimately somewhat muddle-headed, without a complete independent consciousness, so any Heavenly Dao would only influence the divine spirits based on its interests, without understanding what strategy to use.

Like now, the World Will of Flowing Gold World focused its malice on Qin Feng significantly because he took the Metal Heart, seizing the greatest hope for this world to further progress into a Medium World, making him the enemy of the world.

If he were to travel in this world in the future, all Metal Creatures would harbor malice towards him, wishing to kill.

Unfortunately, the World Will simply influences these divine spirits without considering whether they can actually counter Qin Feng, nor anticipating the heavy casualties among these divine spirits.

So as they rushed down, Qin Feng was not surprised but joyful, gesturing a spell and summoning quickly. Suddenly, a Qiongqi above that was chasing the Toad King madly came diving down, breaking free from the Toad King, killing Golden Winged Great Peng and the other divine spirits below.

Seeing this, the Toad King was furious, how could it let Qiongqi slaughter ordinary divine spirits, hurriedly manipulating spells to try and block Qiongqi, even hoping to draw it back to attack itself instead.

However, the Demon God Illusion was under Qin Feng’s control, without independent consciousness, ignoring its harassment, diving directly to a Red Iron Ape divine spirit with bloodshot eyes, tearing this Red Iron Ape in half with its huge claws!

It continued to attack the other Metal Divine Beings, influenced too much by the World Will, their minds entirely consumed by the thoughts of battle and slaughter!
