Tens of millions of peak Martial Warrior-level monsters stood in orderly ranks between heaven and earth, their numbers exactly matching the combined forces of the Immortal Slaying Archipelago and the three great demon clans. Yet their overall strength was far more balanced and formidable.
Moreover, each and every one of them seemed to possess genuine life force. Whether from their outward appearance or from spiritual perception, they bore no resemblance to constructs shaped by a formation. They were as though living beings, imbued with their own spiritual awareness.
"In all the world, there exists such a formation? One that can manifest such lifelike corporeal entities?" At this moment, even
Though he had harnessed the life essence power of tens of millions of soldiers, the sheer fact that tens of millions of powerful peak Martial Warrior monsters had been summoned forth was truly terrifying.
"Hmph. The methods of the Martial Sacred Land have certainly broadened my horizons. But if you think these alone can break through my Celestial Sword Formation, you underestimate me far too much."
The Ethereal Fairy's lips curved slightly upward. Then her gaze flashed sharply, and the golden swords of the Celestial Sword Formation, as if receiving orders, ceased their rotation around the mountain peak. Instead, they pivoted their blades outward, pointing in every direction — poised to unleash slaughter upon any who dared approach.
However,
"ROARRRRR!"
At his command, the tens of millions of monsters immediately pounded their chests and stomped their feet, unleashing earth-shaking bellows. Then, like a barrage of meteors streaking in reverse, they surged toward Ethereal Fairy Peak in a dense, swarming mass.
At this moment, many people within Ethereal Fairy Peak were terrified. Aside from the Ethereal Fairy and
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
But the Celestial Sword Formation was certainly no pushover. When the monster army surged into range, countless golden great swords erupted forth with blinding speed and an all-crushing momentum, slashing and blasting into the monster horde.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
In an instant, explosions erupted and ripples spread endlessly. No matter how powerful those monsters were, they simply could not withstand the golden swords' assault. The moment they were struck, they were obliterated instantly — no chance whatsoever.
But the monsters were far from simple creatures either. As long as they avoided the golden swords, even the most terrifying shockwaves could not harm them. Like unstoppable arrows, they pierced through the layers of golden swords and hurtled straight toward the Protective Grand Formation.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
Though the golden swords were formidable, their numbers were ultimately limited. Combined with the monsters' incredible speed and cunning intelligence, the golden swords could not possibly eliminate them all. The monsters began slipping past the Celestial Sword Formation one after another. And once they drew close, they did not attack blindly — instead, they resorted to self-destruction to weaken the Protective Grand Formation's power.
Although their cultivation was merely at the peak Martial Warrior level, the power of their self-destruction was absolutely terrifying. Each detonation caused the entire Protective Grand Formation to shudder. The destructive force of each explosion was comparable to the strongest strike of a Martial King expert.
As more and more monsters pierced through the Celestial Sword Formation's defenses, those tremors came in rapid succession, and the entire Protective Grand Formation stood on the brink of collapse.
"They do have some tricks. Realizing the Celestial Sword Formation cannot be broken, they target the Protective Grand Formation directly. It seems I underestimated them." The Ethereal Fairy's brows furrowed as she recognized the enemy's cunning.
"Fairy, each of those monsters carries a special talisman. The reason their self-destruction is so devastating is entirely due to those talismans. In the instant they detonate, the power is almost equivalent to a Martial King expert's strongest strike."
"Though a Martial King's strongest strike alone cannot threaten this Protective Grand Formation, with so many Martial King-level attacks occurring continuously, even the strongest Protective Grand Formation would struggle to withstand them,"
"Fuyan, you're right. Their formation is powerful — far more powerful than I imagined. Continuing like this, we truly cannot hold. At this point, we must prepare for the worst. Take
"But you are this place's guardian. Wouldn't it be better for you to attempt the communication?"
"If I could communicate with it, I would have done so long ago. In outsiders' eyes, I am the guardian of Ethereal Fairy Peak, and they assume I have reaped tremendous benefits from being here. But I know perfectly well that this so-called guardian of Ethereal Fairy Peak is nothing more than a gatekeeping dog that cleans up trash for that mysterious existence. It doesn't care who guards this place — as long as someone does. But
"Understood." At this,
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

At this moment, everyone inside Ethereal Fairy Peak was utterly terrified. They could all see that the Protective Grand Formation would inevitably shatter under this onslaught — and it would happen without the enemy losing a single soldier. There was no denying it: they had been completely pushed into a disadvantageous position.
In truth, not only were
