Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1812 Chapter 473: The Great Battle (Part 2)

"It's our turn now."

Watching the boundless rays of light streaking toward the outer city battlefield, Long Ying uttered in a resolute tone.

Li Hao had joined battles in other regions before, even along the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty's frontiers. Yet those frontier clashes were plainly less crucial than this spot, and none matched the ultimate main front against invading foes.

The spectacular vista unfolding now filled Li Hao with reverence; warriors from the Ten Thousand Clans surged forth beyond the walls to clash with the Ancient Demons.

How might the battlefield of a hundred thousand years past have appeared?

Excitement boiled in Li Hao's veins, urging him to invoke his immortal armor and slip it on.

Even without tapping its complete strength just yet, this supreme Domain Artifact stood out to discerning eyes, brimming with a chilling potency.

Long Ying and his companions cast looks at Li Hao, recalling his status as the Immortal Emperor's personal disciple and his access to vital protective relics. No doubt this Domain Artifact ranked among them.

"Let's go!"

Long Ying murmured quietly, his figure abruptly shifting into a gleaming golden Ancestor Dragon that launched skyward amid a mighty draconic bellow.

Duan Yuan and the rest then bared their authentic shapes, their presences fully unleashed without restraint, pursuing Long Ying closely.

Li Hao and Shi Miao stayed right with them, dashing forward without delay.

Crossing the jagged city horizon, the nine reached Dragon Gate City. Taking in the view, they found the external battlefield in chaotic frenzy. High above in the distance, vast dark clouds amassed, harboring endless silhouettes of Ancient Demons—mostly True Immortal Realm beings with towering builds and savage presences that instinctively daunted all.

Right then, myriad silhouettes crowded the city walls, troops hastening to join the fray.

Within the city itself, soldiers of diverse clans gathered in numbers, erecting powerful arrays across key positions.

Boom! Boom!

In that instant, horrifying dark meteors hurled from the Ancient Demons straight at Dragon Gate City.

A shield flared up along the wall, dragon motifs twisting fiercely to repel the dark meteors' onslaught.

"This assault carries real force!"

Long Ying's draconic gaze grew intensely grave as he scanned the chaos.

Duan Yuan and the others likewise perceived the Ancient Demons' overwhelming might, their faces set in solemn lines.

Nearby, golden beams abruptly lanced from the city like a cascade of fiery gold, plummeting toward the Ancient Demons' ranks.

On the Ancient Demons' side, a dense black cloud swiftly gathered, halting the golden light shower; moments later, a colossal arm of shadowy essence emerged, fist clenched, its bulk immense as it reared back and hammered down at the city's shield.

A deafening rumble shook the air, jolting the wall's barrier; swathes of golden radiance splintered, while certain dragon motifs dimmed and weakened.

"Such power!"

Defenders atop the wall paled visibly, aware a terrifying high-tier Immortal King Realm powerhouse hid among the Ancient Demons.

"That's the presence of Immortal King Realm Perfection."

Shi Miao's face turned grim; under these circumstances, she stood no chance against an Immortal King Realm Perfection foe.

After all, such a level already crested the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

"Dragon Blade Tower is acting!"

Long Ying declared abruptly.

Over the wall, nine gigantic Ancestor Dragons materialized in a flash; each stretched tens of thousands of miles long, born from army arrays, their scales and manes billowing as Divine Light gleamed brightly.

The nine Ancestor Dragons now unleashed blazing True Dragon Extinction Flames toward the forward battlefield.

Silver-gray blazes erupted, radiating utter destruction, slicing past the shield to ravage the Ancient Demon throng.

These weren't mere Immortal Techniques; instead, they drew from the combined might of tens of thousands of True Immortals channeled through the nine Ancestor Dragons' forms, igniting immortal essence into raw offensive surges packed with unadulterated ruin.

Amid the fray, ornate Immortal Techniques proved futile; this arena demanded blood for blood. The deadliest immortal essence annihilation arts defied all blocks.

Only army arrays could unleash such strikes; a solitary fighter burning their immortal essence to oblivion would perish without felling even one adversary.

Yet in the array, the pooled vigor of tens of thousands of True Immortals allowed these dread assaults with scant backlash to the group—save when combat peaked wildly, where excess use unleashed dire repercussions.

True Dragon Extinction Flames roared through, instantly tearing holes in the Demon Formation's dark clouds; vanguard Ancient Demons wailed in torment, invoking their clan's bloodline arts, but they crumbled all the same, reduced to cinders in a heartbeat.

As losses mounted, a colossal tide of dark essence billowed from the Ancient Demons, shaping into a skull-formed giant head that yawned wide, devouring the True Dragon Extinction Flames from a single Ancestor Dragon array like a voracious bite.

Precisely then, a frosty grunt boomed from within the city, thundering across the heavens and earth like a bolt from the blue.

Simultaneously, a spectral form loomed over the battlefield: a titanic dragon claw, slashing at the enormous skull head, seizing it outright and slamming it earthward amid explosive crashes, pulverizing it utterly.

"The Ancestor Dragon Clan's World-suppressing Dragon Claw—the City Lord has intervened!"

Beholding this, elation lit Long Ying's eyes.

Devoid of the skull head, the persisting bursts of True Dragon Extinction Flames inflicted heavy tolls on the Demon Formation, echoed by the shrieks of countless Ancient Demons.

Before Li Hao and his allies could show gladness, a focused surge of dark essence from the Ancient Demons barreled toward the city's shield.

This shadowy force, finger-like in form, protruded from the Ancient Demons and jabbed savagely; the vast barrier spanning millions of miles over the wall quaked fiercely, its myriad golden motifs shuddering before bursting apart in a flash.

Dragon Gate City's shield had shattered!

At this sight, expressions twisted across the onlookers, Long Ying's own face tightening as he called out, "It's shattering quicker than last time; this blow hits harder—stand firm, everyone!"
