The Beast King once again opened its giant mouth, causing a large number of souls to float up from the trap below. These souls seemed to possess consciousness, their mouths silently wailing with faces full of terror, but all was in vain.

They poured into the serpent's mouth like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

At this moment, the Beast King let out a joyful roar, and the originally unbreakable shackles showed signs of loosening.

Its aura began to climb at an astonishing speed.

Wang Haichuan's face immediately turned grim upon seeing this.

Without any hesitation, he commanded the Fire Feather Golden Eagle to launch an attack on it.

A golden blade quietly condensed before the Fire Feather Golden Eagle, cutting through the void to strike the Beast King.

The Beast King was enjoying the thrill of breaking through, but it remained very vigilant, aware of the Fire Feather Golden Eagle's attack.

Instead of dodging, the Beast King spat out a ball of gray gas, which instantly transformed into a sharp arrow upon exiting its mouth.

"Boom"

The sharp arrow collided with the golden blade, splitting it into two.

The golden blade exploded as it shattered, and the massive energy shockwave dispersed the sharp arrow.

Seeing this, Wang Haichuan's face turned even more grim. The Beast King had just begun to ascend, yet in the recent skill clash, the Fire Feather Golden Eagle was already at a disadvantage. If the opponent ascended further, the Fire Feather Golden Eagle would stand no chance.

Thinking of this, Wang Haichuan dared not delay any longer and hurriedly commanded the Fire Feather Golden Eagle to launch a fierce attack.

The Beast King did not continue to fight with the Fire Feather Golden Eagle but instead twisted its body to charge towards the outer area of the battlefield.

Just now, during its transformation, it only absorbed the souls in the center of the battlefield, leaving many souls on the outskirts unabsorbed. It planned to absorb these souls as well.

Faced with a Beast King that only wanted to evade, Wang Haichuan had no choice but to follow closely behind, continuously releasing skills to interfere.

Unfortunately, the Beast King's current strength was slightly higher than the Fire Feather Golden Eagle's, allowing it to easily neutralize the attacks.

Soon, the souls outside the city were completely absorbed by the Beast King, and its aura climbed once more.

"Roar"

With a joyful roar echoing, the Beast King's aura surged again.

Wang Haichuan's face suddenly turned pale at this sight.

His lips trembled as he pointed at the Beast King and said, "Half-Step King Level."

The Beast King seemed to hear Wang Haichuan's words and astonishingly spoke in human language with its mouth open: "Haha, you can't stop me. If you dare to obstruct me again, I will kill you right now."

Wang Haichuan's pupils widened in shock, not expecting the Beast King's mastery over Star Power to reach such a degree.

The Beast King's voice was loud, heard clearly by everyone outside the city and on the city walls.

Cries of astonishment burst from the people's mouths.

"How is this possible? That Beast King actually spoke!"

"It's over, completely over."

"Everyone, run quickly! Celestial Star City can't hold!"

...

It was not hard to hear the endless despair in their voices.

Everyone knew clearly that if a Star Beast could speak human words, it meant the opponent was at least at the King Level.

Because once a Star Beast breaks through to King Level, its control over Star Power directly elevates to a new height, allowing it to gather Star Power in its throat and vibrate the Star Power to mimic human language.

For a King Level Star Beast, this was just the most basic use of Star Power.

The Beast King looked at Wang Haichuan, who was in shock, and didn't seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, it twisted its body rushing toward the city wall.

There were not only living humans here, but the area near the city walls had the most souls.

Watching the approaching Beast King, everyone stared blankly at it, their hearts filled with fear. They seemed like lambs to the slaughter, devoid of the courage to attack.

The Beast King saw this, and the soul flames in its eyes danced joyfully.

It did not attack the people but instead opened its mouth wide and fiercely inhaled the mountain of corpses below the city.

Masses of souls surged out from the corpses, looking ferocious, wailing in pain, as if bound by some mysterious force. No matter how they struggled, it was all to no avail.

Seeing so many souls, the ghost fire in the Beast King's eye sockets danced even more joyfully.

It had a premonition that by devouring all these souls, it could truly step into the King Level.

Just as these souls were about to fall into the serpent's mouth, a dazzling white light hit the Beast King without warning.

"Roar"

Covered by the white light, the Beast King let out a harrowing scream. The souls about to fall into its mouth suddenly stopped struggling, and their ferocious faces became peaceful.

The mysterious force that had bound them vanished instantly.

They drifted upwards into the sky, gradually dissipating into the heavens and earth.

The situation for the Beast King was quite the opposite, with its cries growing louder as soul after soul surged out from it, and its aura rapidly dropped in a terrifying fashion.

From Half-Step King Level, it fell to Monarch Level Ninth Rank, then to Eighth Rank, and to Seventh Rank...

The Beast King showed a look of panic, its previous complacency completely gone. It twisted its body frantically, barely escaping the white light's range as its realm was about to fall below Monarch Level.

It looked in astonishment at the direction the white light came from and found a pure white butterfly had appeared on the city wall, with an elder standing on its back.

Seeing this, the Beast King dared not linger; it twisted its body intending to flee backward.

However, what awaited it was a massive fireball.

The one attacking was Wang Haichuan, driven by a spirit of self-sacrifice. Celestial Star City was his lifeblood, the pillar of his soul, and as long as the city stood, he would stand, and should he perish, the city must remain.

The indomitable shackles seemed to have loosened, and at this moment, the knot in his heart seemed to have disappeared, perhaps representing the power of survival in the face of death.

If he could survive this, Celestial Star City might soon gain a King Level strongman.

At this moment, the fireball was already close; if it hit, the weakened Beast King would surely die.

At this point, a gray gas blocked the fireball in front of the Beast King.

With a "hiss," the huge fireball was extinguished in an instant, like falling into the water.

Wang Haichuan widened his eyes in disbelief at the scene before him.

This was a full-force strike by the Fire Feather Golden Eagle; even a Star Beast that had just entered the Beast King Level would find it hard to deflect so easily.

"Old guy, you shouldn't have intervened. Since you've already broken the rules, it should be quite reasonable for me to make a move now." A cold voice came from the depths of the forest.

The elder standing on the back of the white butterfly heard this, and his expression did not change in the slightest. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent as he said, "Oh? You can try it, but who actually broke the rules first is clear in your heart. Isn't this Undead Crystal your doing?"

"Hmph, and so what? What can a mere Support Beast Master do to me."

"Haha, don't just talk and not act, try making a move. And don't forget who is behind me. Since you were the first to break the rules this time, if the one behind me gets angry, I believe the one behind you won't be able to protect you."

"Roar"

An angry roar came from the depths of the forest.

The people on the city wall felt a buzzing in their heads, clutching their ears in pain.

"Hmph, old guy, this time you got lucky. If I see you make a move again, I will come personally to slaughter the city."

With that voice falling, a mysterious force grabbed the Beast King directly, disappearing into the forest.

The Star Beasts still fighting also abandoned their opponents, fleeing towards the depths of the forest.

Ye Feiyang and the others saw this and chose not to pursue, swiftly heading towards the city wall.
