From there, waves of intense spiritual power fluctuations came forth.

Ji Bochang's face showed a trace of solemnity.

"It seems that another wave of demon beasts is attacking our Heaven-Piercing Valley."

A cold glint flashed in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

"In that case, let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan was already heading towards the city wall.

Meanwhile, on the erected walls of Heaven-Piercing Valley,

hundreds of cultivators stood firmly at the ready.

After nearly half a year of war, those who could still stand here,

whether in Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, had gained some experience in dealing with such relatively small-scale beast waves.

Therefore,

even though everyone's face was grave, and their expressions tense,

their actions were not slow in the least, and showed no hesitation.

Under the arrangement and command of team leaders and squad commanders,

spells and magical artifacts' attacks swiftly rained down like raindrops upon the demon beast group below.

In an instant, various flames, ice cones, earth spikes, poisons, sword lights, and other attacks appeared one after another.

Rumbles filled the air incessantly.

Many demon beasts perished under this dense, overwhelming attack.

However, many demon beasts managed to avoid the attacks, or even withstood certain attacks to charge directly to the walls.

Buzz!

At this point, a ripple of array light flashed above the wall.

The demon beasts that had just gotten close to the wall but hadn't managed any further actions were crushed into powder by the expanding force of the array.

It appeared as though the human side of Heaven-Piercing Valley held an absolute advantage.

But in reality, this was not the case.

After all, the number of demon beasts was practically limitless.

They could be driven out continuously from the Qiu Long Mountain Range.

But the human resources and cultivator numbers in Heaven-Piercing Valley were limited.

At least until the next wave of support from the Demonstration Sect arrived, the resources they currently possessed decreased with each use.

And once their resources were depleted,

even if they were merely running low, it would deliver a devastating blow to the morale of Heaven-Piercing Valley's human side.

The demon beast side aimed to use their vast numbers to deplete the resources of Heaven-Piercing Valley.

For the major demons, the lives of low-level demon beasts were worthless.

Even if one batch died, another would follow.

Most importantly, the survival of the fittest in the Demon Beast World was far more brutal than in the human Cultivation Realm.

Especially with the dual suppression of rank and bloodline, rebellion was not an option.

If the major demons wished,

they could easily send out tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon beasts as cannon fodder without any issue.

Based on this, the ultimate decision of this war,

does not lie in the hands of those low-level cultivators or demon beasts,

nor in those of the Golden Core cultivators and major demons.

It lies in the hands of the True Monarchs and the Demon Kings.

One can only wonder what the outcome of the final struggle on both sides will be.

In the sky,

Ji Haoyuan looked at the increasingly intense war below, eyes deep.

If he could seize the opportunity to kill a few of the major demons during the upcoming war,

especially the Black Wind Demon Tiger, which was in the late stage of the third tier,

would it benefit their side in the upcoming battles?

Or should they injure but not kill?

This was because if all the major demons here were killed, it could draw the attention of powerful beings deep within the Qiu Long Mountain Range and other places.

In that case, the major demons sent in the future would not be easy to deal with.

They might all be late-stage third-tier demons, or at least the number of mid-stage third-tier demons would increase.

That would further increase the pressure on Heaven-Piercing Valley, making the situation even worse.

But from the standpoint of the human race's overall situation, having one less major demon would mean less pressure.

Unfortunately, the overall situation of the human race is not my immediate concern.

Right now, it is crucial to protect the existing family strength.

Perhaps at the right time, I could move to other regions,

or infiltrate the Demon Beast Mountain Range and decapitate certain major demons to confuse them and reduce the pressure on Heaven-Piercing Valley?

But doing so is extremely risky.

One slip, and I could be caught in an ambush, with no escape.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength.

If I were now a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even if Heaven-Piercing Valley was near the demon-occupied territories, would they dare to target my clan's settlement?

Thoughts raced through Ji Haoyuan's mind.

His gaze suddenly penetrated through the faces of the demon beasts below and onto a spot further back.

There,

a demon bird with a wingspan over ten zhang, with fiery red wings and exuding a powerful aura, slowly flew into the sky.

"Screech!"

With a resounding cry,

the fiery red demon bird suddenly broke the sound barrier, speeding towards Heaven-Piercing Valley at a pace the naked eye could not follow.

Boom!

The fiery red demon bird still in mid-air slashed with its wings.

In an instant, a meteor-like red blaze fell fiercely towards their War Fortress.

"Not good!

A third-tier flying major demon!

Quick, quick, quick!

Operate the grand array with full force!"

Immediately, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demonstration Sect roared from the War Fortress.

In a split second, a layer of dim light rapidly rose up.

A roaring thunder sounds erupted.

The light didn't move an inch.

But many of the cultivators behind it instantly turned pale.

The magical power within their bodies was like a floodgate opening, quickly draining away.

After all, operating the grand array and maneuvering the array flag required cultivator guidance and magical power.

Plus, the fiery red demon bird arrived so quickly that many present could not adjust their positions in time.

In their haste, a little bit of fluster was inevitable.

After all, not everyone could remain completely calm in the face of a third-tier major demon.

"Screech!"

Seeing one attack fail, the fiery red demon bird, now within a hundred-zhang range of Heaven-Piercing Valley walls, let out another high-pitched cry.

The next moment,

A large wave of more ferocious red blaze than before, once again fell towards the rising light of the War Fortress.

"Outrageous!"

Just then, from behind the wall, a graceful figure suddenly flew out.

Countless jade-colored ribbons swirled around her body,

forming circle after circle.

Quickly forming a giant cocoon in front,

layer upon layer,

it emitted an extremely brilliant, dazzling light.

It was Shi Siyao, the sole Golden Core female True Man from the Demonstration Sect responsible for guarding this place.
