Several hundred Saint Emperors searched everywhere, as well as over twenty supreme experts. They searched for a whole ten hours, but in the end, there were no traces nearby. There were no traps, not even a single scout.
There were no Divine Glyphs either. Everything was normal. Nothing could be more normal.
Making sure that there were no traps, Patriarch Eight came back with 11 powerful warriors. He glanced over the city like an eagle. Waving his hand, he said, "Attack!"
Since there were no traps nearby, Patriarch Eight was not afraid even if Lu Li were to sneak up on him. Patriarch Eight did not believe that Lu Li could kill 12 warriors who were almost at the consummate realm in an instant.
Therefore, Patriarch Eight decided to take the bait and wipe out the tens of thousands of warriors and warriors first.
At first, Patriarch Eight was careful. He only ordered the one hundred thousand warriors to attack and the others stood in different formations. He did not order the warriors to move.
As long as the warriors did not panic, anything could be controlled.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The one hundred thousand warriors began to strike at the city shield. One hundred thousand rays of light shone. The city shield lit up as well, lighting up half of the sky.
The muffled noise pierced people's hearts and souls. All warriors felt their hearts were beating faster.
The city shield was strong, mainly because there were more than ten thousand warriors and many powerful warriors pouring divine energy and source of energy into it at all times. The city shield's defense was amazing.
The one hundred thousand warriors could not crack it. The only thing they could do was make the formation tremble.
"Hmm!"
Patriarch Eight sneered. He waved his hand again. Another one hundred thousand warriors moved out.
Just the attack of 100,000 soldiers was enough to cause the Great City Protecting Array to tremble. This meant that the defensive power of the Great City Protecting Array was not very strong.
Another one hundred thousand warriors moved out. Two hundred thousand warriors were attacking together. Still, the city shield was not cracked. That being said, the tremble was stronger.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The two hundred thousand warriors kept on attacking. Unfortunately, their attacks did not reach the critical point. The city shield could not be cracked.
Patriarch Eight's bulging eyes were filled with anger. He waved his hand again. This time, there were two hundred thousand more warriors. Altogether, there were four hundred thousand warriors.
"Move out!"
A Saint Emperor in the City of Fan shouted. All the warriors and powerful warriors stuck to the city shield and began to pour divine energy and source of energy into the formation.
Outside, there were 400,000 soldiers attacking at the same time. How powerful would the combined attack of 400,000 soldiers be?
The Great City Protecting Array's endurance was likely to reach a critical point. At that time, it would not be able to withstand it and would be broken.
"Hehe!"
The Eighth Elder looked down from above. He could feel the fear, uneasiness, fear, and madness in the eyes of the soldiers below … If it was just a few soldiers, then it might be an act.
Tens of thousands of soldiers basically all had the same expression, so it was impossible to act.
Two conclusions could be drawn from this. First, the tens of thousands of warriors did not know about Lu Li's plan and did not know if they could win.
Would he be able to survive?
Either that, or they didn't make any arrangements at all. They were only prepared to pay the price of their lives to delay the advance of the army.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The combined attack of four hundred thousand soldiers shocked both the army outside and the army inside. Although the formation shook violently, it managed to withstand the attack. The attack of four hundred thousand soldiers was unable to break the formation.
The troops inside were extremely excited. This formation had been personally set up by Lord Li. They originally thought that it was just an ordinary divine formation, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.
The Eighth Elder frowned and waved his hand again. This time, a total of three hundred thousand soldiers were dispatched.
An army of 700,000 soldiers, almost everywhere was filled with soldiers. There were soldiers everywhere near the city that could be attacked. This was pretty much the strongest attack formation.
"Phew, phew ~"
The warriors and warriors inside unsheathed their weapons. As soon as the shield was broken, they would rush out and fight.
Although there were still some small formations inside, it was not enough.
But if the biggest shield could not stand it, then the smaller ones inside would be meaningless. One round of attack would be enough.
Lu Li did not give them any other orders other than to stay in the city. Now that they could not hold on any longer, they must rush out and fight. Otherwise, would they just wait for death here?
"Get ready!"
Patriarch Eight ordered the two hundred thousand warriors to be on standby. He would not allow the tens of thousands of warriors to escape. All of them must stay.
Patriarch Eight did not want to do anything himself. None of the powerful warriors could be mobilized. They had to stay and monitor the situation at all times, mainly in case Lu Li took action.
As long as Lu Li did not do anything, the rest would not be a problem. The Saint Kings could handle it.
There were no warriors that were close to the consummate realm. Patriarch Eight had many Saint Kings on his side. They could deal with them easily.
Patriarch Eight asked four warriors that were close to the consummate realm to monitor the surroundings so that they could notice any signs of trouble.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The seven hundred thousand warriors attacked at the same time. At that moment, it was as if the sky was going to collapse. The glare blinded many warriors. The loud noise made their eardrums hurt.
Many warriors used psychic power to check on the shield. As soon as the shield was cracked, the warriors and powerful warriors in the city could rush out.
"Eh …"
Not only the soldiers, this time, even the Eighth Elder and the others were shocked, because after the City Protection Formation shook violently, it still did not break.
Even the Saint Emperors inside couldn't believe it. Was this Great City Protecting Formation really that powerful?
"Something is not right!"
One of the Saint Kings remembered something. He used psychic power to check underground. Soon, his pupils contracted. He noticed something. There seemed to be more strange patterns in the ground.
Those patterns were not there before. Now, they suddenly popped out.
It was the appearance of these divine inscriptions that strengthened the Great City Barrier Formation countless times, allowing it to withstand this attack.
The shield didn't look different on the surface. It was the same as before. The only difference was that there were more patterns inside. The shield was much stronger.
This Saint King felt that even if there were ten times more, let alone seven hundred thousand warriors, they would not be able to break the shield.
"This doesn't make sense!"
The Eighth Elder's divine sense swept out, he was also able to detect the divine inscriptions beneath the city. However, because there were so many divine inscriptions set up beneath the city, there were all sorts of formations, and the divine inscriptions were extremely complicated. How would he be able to detect any problems in such a short period of time?
What's more, he didn't check carefully before. He didn't know that some of the patterns had suddenly appeared.
"All Saint Emperors, move out!"
Patriarch Eight didn't believe it. He ordered all the Saint Emperors and Thearchs to attack together. He believed that if all of them attacked together, they would have no problem breaking the shield.
All the Saint Emperors and Thearchs moved out and joined the attack formation.
The Saint Emperor in the city was very excited. He shouted, "Everyone, let's work harder. They can't break it!"
The soldiers inside came to their senses. They poured their divine power and origin power into the shield. The shield glowed even brighter.
The experts outside were ready. They attacked together with the army. The attack this time was even more tyrannical and terrifying. It felt like the sky was falling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of earth-shattering explosions, many of the soldiers were dumbfounded. Patriarch Eight's eyes were filled with shock.
700,000 soldiers and so many Saint Emperors attacked together, yet they still couldn't break through a seemingly simple Great City Protecting Formation?
"Everyone, retreat!"
Patriarch Eight was furious. He shouted, "All experts who are infinitely close to the Great Perfection realm attack together. I don't believe that we can't break this damn shield."
