When the flames completely disappeared, there was no trace of Dai Tianhua and Zhu Yunlu to be found. They had apparently vanished with the flames into this world.
"Damn it, you little girl have such a vicious heart! We already conceded, why did you have to deliver a fatal blow?"
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
Qiu Er, below the city, laughed hysterically at Dai Tianyu's accusation, as if she had heard a joke.
"Did you think I was playing house with you? Conceding doesn't mean you get to live? Besides, if I were truly ruthless, I would have just let the Beast Tide devour you all. Why would I bother playing a challenge game with you?"
Being mocked to his face by a woman, Dai Tianyu, long accustomed to his high position, nearly ground his teeth to powder. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms. After a long while, he finally instructed the minister beside him,
"Activate the City Defense Array."
"This, Your Majesty, the City Defense Array is used once, and there is one less use."
"Hmph, do you think I don't know that? Whether Star Luo can survive this calamity is still uncertain. Go quickly, or it will be too late."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon receiving the order, the minister dared not delay any further and hurried down the city wall.
Watching Dai Tianyu whispering with the minister, Qiu Er slowly put away the smile on her face, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes. She could already feel the group of Soul Beasts behind her barely suppressing their bloodthirsty emotions. However, she had played enough here, so it was time to break through the city directly.
"Go, my little ones, break through the city directly and let this broken empire become history."
"Roar!"
Without the Beast King Qiu Er's restraint, the Soul Beasts, who had been suppressing themselves for so long, all had red eyes with excitement. The flying Soul Beasts that had been circling in the sky took the lead and launched an attack towards Star Luo City.
Outside the entire Star Luo City, the sounds of phoenixes and cranes, and the stampede of ten thousand beasts, created a spectacular scene.
"Not going to stop them? If the Beast Tide rushes into Star Luo City, it will cause some unnecessary slaughter."
Da Ming, seeing the Beast Tide constantly passing by him and launching an attack towards the city gate, looked at Ning Bei beside him with some doubt.
Ning Bei shrugged his shoulders, showing no intention of stopping the Beast Tide.
"What do you think I launched this Beast Tide for? Isn't it to destroy the Star Luo Empire? What method is more cost-effective than controlling the scope of the slaughter within the capital?"
"I have already done my best by having the Beast Tide avoid the civilians along the way. Next is the time to finish things off."
Da Ming raised an eyebrow. He thought Ning Bei was a soft-hearted person, but he didn't expect him to have such a cold-blooded side. However, he was right. Slaughtering only the defensive forces of Star Luo City was better than letting the Beast Tide wreak havoc throughout the entire Star Luo Empire.
Just as the two were talking, the faster Soul Beasts had already reached the city. Whether they were flying Soul Beasts or land Soul Beasts, they rushed towards the defending soldiers on the city wall without hesitation.
And a strange scene happened at this time. The diving and pouncing Soul Beasts seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall when they approached the city wall and were quickly bounced back, falling to the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust. These Soul Beasts looked around blankly, as if wondering what had ambushed them.
"Oh? This Star Luo actually has a defensive array? It seems that it is not a coincidence that it has been able to stand on the continent for so long."
Star Luo's defensive array and Ning Bei's Wall of Radiance had the same goal through different means, but it didn't have such strong power, which made him a little surprised.
"How about it, do you want me to go and break it?"
"No hurry, let's take a look first."
Dai Tianyu on the city gate was slightly relieved when he saw that the Beast Tide could not break through the array. This was the Nation Protecting Soul Tool left by the ancestors, which was placed on the top floor of the central tower of the empire. It would only be used when the empire was facing life and death. Once activated, the entire Star Luo City would be in a defensive formation, but each use would cause a lot of wear and tear on the Soul Tool, which made him feel a little heartache, but he couldn't care about that in the current situation.
Looking at the waves of Beast Tide rushing towards the Star Luo city gate like a tide, and being repelled again and again by the Nation Protecting Array, but persistently continuing to charge towards the formation, Dai Tianyu felt a little worried, fearing that the array would not be able to hold on due to energy exhaustion.
"Little girl, I advise you to give up. This is Star Luo's Nation Protecting Divine Tool. You cannot break through it. Even if a power-type 100,000 Year Soul Beast came, it wouldn't dare to say it could break through the defense with certainty."
The soldiers beside him didn't know so much inside information and thought that their own great array was as sturdy as His Majesty said. For a time, cheers resounded above the city walls.
"Long live Star Luo!"
"Invulnerable to all beasts!"
Dai Tianyu's provocation made Qiu Er a little annoyed. Isn't it just a broken array? What's so great about it? There are plenty of 100,000 Year Soul Beasts here, and I can do it myself.
Seeing Qiu Er planning to reveal her true form to break the array, Ning Bei quickly waved to A Bao.
"It's better to expose Qiu Er's true form less in front of people. Go and break the array."
A Bao nodded and quickly came to Qiu Er's side, shaking his head at her.
Qiu Er was slightly stunned, looked back and found Ning Bei behind her, her eyes lit up, and then gave him a puzzled expression, as if asking why he didn't let her take action.
Ning Bei didn't answer, just shook his head slightly, signaling her to leave the work of breaking the array to A Bao.
Qiu Er was a little sullen, but she didn't refute Ning Bei, and nodded to the big fool beside her.
"You do it, hurry up, the rabble above are too arrogant."
Hearing this, A Bao showed a grin, took a few steps forward and distanced himself slightly from Qiu Er, then directly transformed into his true form.
"Roar!"
The majestic battle roar resounded before Star Luo City, and all the Soul Beasts impacting the array stopped their movements, looked back at A Bao, and all showed fear, slowly moving aside to make way for a wide road.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?"
Dai Tianyu was shocked. Unlike ordinary soldiers, he was not ignorant. He could recognize the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a overlord Soul Beast. This was an existence that could rival a 100,000 Year Soul Beast at ten thousand years, but he didn't know how much the cultivation of the one in front of him was. However, judging from the opponent's terrifying size, it was at least close to 100,000 years.
Thinking of this, Dai Tianyu's heart slowly sank to the bottom, and the legs under his jade robe couldn't help but tremble. He had a hunch that his proud defensive array would definitely not be able to stop this ferocious beast.
"Get ready to meet the enemy."
No one gave him, the emperor, an answer. All the guards beside him stared blankly at the giant bear nearly 30 meters tall. If it stood up, this bear would be able to send a pair of sharp claws to the city tower.
"Prepare to meet the enemy, don't stand there dumbfounded."
Dai Tianyu roared angrily at the dazed soldiers beside him, and this roar also woke these people up, who trembled and said yes, and then returned to their respective posts.
Seeing that the Soul Beasts had already cleared the road to the city gate, A Bao no longer hesitated. With his leg muscles bulging, he ran towards the city gate at a terrifying speed, like a heavy armored vehicle running at full power.
"Next, taste the fear of being dominated by Soul Beasts!"
"Dark Gold Tear Sky Claw!"
