On the walls of Primitive Town, powerful figures continuously soared through the air, landing one after another.
These were the town's current guardians, formed from the young seeds of the past, all genuine and quite powerful Demigod experts.
There were as many as thirty of them.
It could be said this was a rather formidable lineup.
However, most were only at the First Heaven of the Demigod realm, with only three being Fourth Heaven Demigod experts.
From the south of the town, a massive bear as large as a small mountain was charging over, causing the entire vast earth to tremble with rumbling roars.
Five young Demigods were flying in the air, constantly summoning the power of heaven and earth and unleashing divine abilities to resist.
Unfortunately, that bear was far too powerful, many times stronger than the five Demigods. It was a super great demonic beast at the peak of the ninth heaven, just one step away from the Divine Transformation Realm—a ferocious demonic beast with a fearsome reputation: the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear. This bloodthirsty, vicious beast posed a severe threat to the entire Primitive Town.
The strongest among the five Demigods was only at the Second Heaven, while the others were all First Heaven Demigods. Although powerful, the gap between them was too vast. Moreover, the demonic beast's hide was thick and tough; their various attacks could hardly harm the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear at all, unable to stop its charge.
On the city wall, Ye Chen, the Thirteenth Prince, and Princess Hong Rong appeared simultaneously. The many experts all saluted: "Greetings, City Lord, Miss Hong Rong."
However, when they looked at Ye Chen, there was an extra hint of confusion, for they all found this person quite unfamiliar, never having seen him before, wondering where he came from.
But seeing him standing together with the Thirteenth Prince and the others, they harbored no doubts.
"So it's the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear..." Ye Chen smiled faintly. Seeing the deeply furrowed brows of the Thirteenth Prince and Princess Hong Rong, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it difficult to deal with?"
The Thirteenth Prince smiled bitterly: "Naturally, it's difficult. This Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear is the greatest threat on the King's Ancient Path. Although we have numerous Martial God experts on our side, the strongest one has only barely reached the Seventh Heaven, a super Martial God. The others, including myself, are only at the Fifth Heaven of the Martial God realm. We are far from being a match for the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear."
Martial God experts on the Tian Du Continent were equivalent to Demigods.
This place was isolated from the world, not yet integrated with the myriad realms, so they still used the original Tian Du Continent's terminology for cultivation realms.
Princess Hong Rong also said helplessly: "Over the years, this Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear has forced us into quite a sorry state, seriously threatening the safety of all of us."
Ye Chen was taken aback: "Don't you all attack and surround it together? I observe that within the entire town, there are over seventy Martial God experts. That should be enough to contend with even a Divine Transformation Realm, or Heavenly God realm, great demonic beast, let alone a ninth heaven peak Martial God great demonic beast."
The Thirteenth Prince sighed: "I said, can you not think of the King's Ancient Path as so peaceful? The entire ancient path doesn't have just this one Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear; there are other great demonic beasts. If we dispatch so many Martial God experts, what if other Martial God great demonic beasts seize the opportunity to attack? Wouldn't we be utterly doomed then?"
Ye Chen suddenly understood. He had actually forgotten about that. Although his divine sense had previously spread out and detected several other fairly powerful Demigod-level demonic beasts, it couldn't be blamed on him. At his current level, so-called Demigod-level demonic beasts were as weak as ants, not worth keeping in mind.
At this moment, a young Demigod in green clothes stepped forward. He was the captain of the town's guardians, a Third Heaven Demigod, in a way a notable expert.
This person cupped his fists toward the Thirteenth Prince: "City Lord, the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear is charging over now. How should we respond? Liu Xian is currently leading people to block it."
The Thirteenth Prince's brows knitted tightly as he swiftly issued orders: "Zhang Han, you lead nine Martial Gods to support Liu Xian. Combine into a force of fifteen and jointly stop the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear. The rest remain in the town. If they cannot handle it, we will send more people to deal with the bear."
Upon hearing the command, Zhang Han immediately obeyed, with nine great Martial Gods following behind as they charged forward to engage the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear.
A full fifteen Demigod experts completely blocked the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear, and a great battle erupted in an area thirty li away from Primitive Town.
Fifteen Demigod experts were a rather powerful force. Although most had just stepped into the Demigod ranks, with the strongest being only Zhang Han, a Third Heaven Demigod, they had the advantage of numbers. By combining their strengths, their power was many times greater.
Roar—
At this very moment, from another direction of Primitive Town, a terrifying beast roar shook heaven and earth. A three-headed ferocious beast with a lion's head, a tiger's head, and a wolf's head appeared, soaring over on a pair of bone wings.
"Not good, the Three-Headed Lion-Tiger-Wolf is coming too!"
That was also a quite powerful demonic beast on the King's Ancient Path. Although not as strong as the Nine-Spotted Six-Eared Bear, it was still an Eighth Heaven super great demonic beast.
Hiss—
Simultaneously, a pitch-black hundred-zhang giant serpent rushed like lightning toward the northern position of Primitive Town. Along its path, vast swathes of mountain forests were flattened and crushed.
"The Heavenly Demon Serpent is here too!"
Above, a massive roc bird circled the sky, its wings spread a full hundred zhang long, like hanging clouds, covering the firmament as it swooped down.
This scene directly caused everyone's expressions to change.
In just the same instant, the four greatest threats on the King's Ancient Path had all appeared, attacking Primitive Town, making people pale.
Usually, just one was enough to be hard to deal with. Now, with all four appearing together, it was enough to drive one to despair.
And this was not the end. From within the wild, primeval forest, a dark, surging tide of demonic beasts was rapidly approaching—thousands upon thousands of them, shaking the entire earth as they charged toward Primitive Town.
At this moment, anyone would completely change color.
Originally, although Primitive Town had many Demigod experts, they were already hard-pressed dealing with the four fearsome great demonic beasts. Now, facing the onslaught of thousands of demonic beasts, which included numerous powerful Xiantian demonic beasts, how could they possibly contend?
It seemed these demonic beasts had been planning this assault on Primitive Town for a long time.
"City Lord, please allow us to go out and block the demonic beast tide!"
Within the town, some young experts who were not yet Demigods spoke up, volunteering to go forth and fight.
The town must not fall. It was their only stronghold on this ancient path, and many of their descendants—children and infants—were here. Once the town was breached, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The Thirteenth Prince's expression also held a trace of despair, never having imagined they would face such a predicament. He let out a long sigh and was about to nod.
At this moment, Ye Chen, standing beside him, suddenly smiled and spoke: "I say, Thirteenth Prince, have you all forgotten my existence?"
