Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1320 - 1317: Temporary Retreat

"What terrifying blood aura, what is that?"

On the spirit ship, a Late Stage Peak Foundation Establishment expert from the Great Dao Sect exclaimed in shock.

Everyone on the ship shook their heads, signaling they didn’t know, but all showed expressions of fear.

The bloodthirsty aura was truly oppressive, making their hearts feel suffocated, and everyone felt an absurd sensation of their Life Essence Blood wanting to burst out of their bodies.

"The demon beast horde has split into two groups and bypassed it on both sides; what magical treasure could be so powerful?"

"It seems that the beast horde charging ahead has been blocked."

"How can this be?"

"Such a fierce beast tide, even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can’t confront it head-on, right?"

For a moment, the Southern Domain cultivators were utterly shocked and discussed among themselves.

Someone silently crushed a Heavenly Eye Talisman, and with enhanced vision, they saw clearly the scene ten miles ahead.

They immediately exclaimed, "It’s that Earth Cultivator named Yang Fei. He’s standing on the shoulder of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, controlling a gigantic bronze furnace magic treasure in front of him. This treasure is like a vast abyss, constantly devouring the blood of the beasts charging towards it."

"Indeed, that bronze furnace has terrifying power."

"What divine artifact is it that possesses such might?"

Exclamations arose, and many Southern Domain cultivators showed expressions of fear and had thoughts of retreating.

But no one voiced the idea of retreat.

Although that Earth Cultivator named Yang Fei is controlling a powerful magical treasure and showing formidable strength, the beast horde they are driving is vast, and some beast groups have bypassed Yang Fei, heading straight for White Jade City.

No matter how formidable the bronze artifact magic treasure is, Yang Fei is, after all, just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with limited mana, while the beast tide is endless; Yang Fei should not be able to hold out for long.

What’s more, if they could kill Yang Fei and seize the treasure, they would be truly prosperous.

The Southern Domain crowd secretly slowed down, not daring to approach the area where Yang Fei was, observing in secret.

The demon beast horde continued to charge forward. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The majority of beasts split into two groups, bypassing Yang Fei’s area and continuing to charge toward White Jade City, while the group in the middle seemed bewitched, madly attacking the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

On the other side, the Earth cultivators on the spirit ship were also tangled with flying demon beasts, embroiled in intense battle.

Sun Xingyu could enthusiastically slaughter these flying demon beasts, but the other Earth cultivators couldn’t single-handedly kill a flying demon beast. Comparatively, with more flying beasts targeting them, each Earth cultivator could only barely fend off one, quickly falling into a disadvantaged situation, teetering on the brink of danger.

On the shoulder of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, sweat began to appear on Yang Fei’s forehead.

Though the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace possesses an Artifact Spirit capable of automatic control, the beast tide is too fierce, and the Artifact Spirit is quite weak. If not for Yang Fei propelling it with mana, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace wouldn’t be able to hold up.

Now, even though he was withstanding the beast horde’s assault, it was immense pressure for Yang Fei. Each time the beasts attacked, a counter-force would pass through the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, transferring to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei felt his mana depleting incredibly fast, and in less than a minute, he sensed he had lost about thirty percent of his mana.

In the blink of an eye, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace had annihilated at least two hundred beasts.

The Ancient Runes engraved on it grew increasingly bright, emitting a debilitating bloody aura.

After another minute passed, Yang Fei’s complexion was pale, and sweat flowed like rain.

He moved his Divine Sense, conveying information to the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace: "There are too many beasts; I can’t hold on any longer."

His spiritual power was now less than forty percent.

Although he could continue holding on, the sheer number of beasts made further resistance meaningless.

The Artifact Spirit felt Yang Fei’s massive depletion and urgently said, "Retreat."

Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his mana, and simultaneously, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast let out an enraged roar, inducing Yang Fei to leap to the side.

Even though it is one of the Ancient Ten Great Fierce Beasts, its current weakness made it unwilling to confront the terrifying Ancient Demon Beast horde head-on.

Most of the beasts in the horde feared the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, avoiding its direction, daring not approach.

However, a small number of beasts roared towards the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was furious, opening its enormous maw; under its devouring force, those massive beasts were forcibly drawn near, and its claws dispatched, hitting one away while it grabbed another, tearing it into chunks of flesh and gulping them down.

Witnessing this ferocious scene, those powerful beasts intending to challenge the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s authority immediately backed down, no longer daring to come close.

The eerie cyan-red light disappeared as the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace shrunk, held in Yang Fei’s hand.

In just two minutes, Yang Fei distinctly felt the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace had changed, seemingly heavier, with a more terrifying aura.

But at this moment, he didn’t have time to contemplate further, seeing Qin Yanyang and others entangled by the flying demon beasts, he swiftly commanded the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

After devouring a beast, absorbing vast energy from its body, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s eyes glowed, exuding a rampant murderous aura, eager to attack the beast herd, intending to seize more beasts for consumption.

Receiving Yang Fei’s order, it reluctantly growled but quickly jumped toward the spirit ship.

Yang Fei gripping the Soul Binding Rope in one hand and holding the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, stood on the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s shoulder, pausing momentarily to extract a spirit bottle, drew out a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Yang Fei felt abundant spiritual power rapidly restore within him.

Though it couldn’t instantaneously restore him to peak condition, after just a few breaths, his mana recovered by about one-tenth, admitting the effectiveness of the Southern Domain Cultivation World’s spiritual elixirs was noteworthy.

Compared to them, the Earth Cultivation World remained significantly weaker in overall strength and foundation.

Quickly, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast leaped near the Earth cultivators’ spirit ship.

The spirit ship hovered high in the air; although the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s leap strength was substantial, relying on jumps to assault the flying demon beasts was impossible.

Yang Fei soared into the sky, flying across.

As he was about to wield the Soul Binding Rope, sensing the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s intention, he immediately activated it with mana.

Cyan-red light surged skyward.

The small Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace rapidly flew forward, enlarging in mid-air, a terrifying bloody aura suffusing the void.

Instantly, the flying demon beasts attacking the Earth cultivators emitted cries of terror, swiftly fleeing.

Three flying demon beasts closer failed to escape in time, getting ensnared by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s eerie power, drawn toward it; upon entering, they transformed into blood mist, thoroughly absorbed by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.
