Chapter 221: The Scoop

Several million li southeast of Heavenly Palace City.

A group of towering figures stood in the wilderness.

Behind them, countless Chaos Beasts stood in dense rows.

Every one of these Chaos Beasts emitted an Aura as deep as the abyss.

They were all, surprisingly, Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beasts of four stars or higher.

A vast number of Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beasts stood quietly in the wilderness, numbering in the thousands.

A tall, humanoid Chaos Beast, carrying a massive hammer, stood at the very front of the Formation.

It was none other than the High Priest of Mingsha Ridge, the Nine-Star Chaos Beast, Sha Motian.

And this force beside it was the true elite power of Mingsha Ridge.

There were thousands of Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beasts, and more than thirty Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts.

Such a powerful lineup, if thrown into any battlefield,

could potentially turn the tide in an instant.

However, the beast tide had already been ongoing for three days.

Yet Sha Motian had kept this ultimate trump card firmly in his hand,

and had not deployed it.

They remained in a location millions of li away from Heavenly Palace City,

quietly observing the entire battle.

Sha Motian gazed toward Heavenly Palace City, his expression silent and unreadable.

No one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, a humanoid Chaos Beast standing nearby asked Sha Motian in a low voice.

"High Priest, shall we not act yet?"

Sha Motian asked indifferently.

"What is the current situation with the other nearby cities?"

The humanoid Chaos Beast beside him quickly reported.

"Based on the latest information, the Lord-level Immortal Cities near Heavenly Palace City have been completely suppressed by neighboring tribes."

"They are currently struggling to protect themselves and certainly cannot provide support to Heavenly Palace City."

Sha Motian stood to the side, listening silently.

Every sacrificial ceremony involved back-and-forth defensive and offensive battles between Cultivators and Chaos Beasts.

Although both sides suffered casualties and achieved gains,

Sha Motian was already somewhat tired of it.

He felt that if they were going to do something, they should go big.

If they could breach Heavenly Palace City,

then they would surely be able to capture a large number of sacrificial offerings.

And the Mingsha Ridge Tribe could seize the opportunity to rise.

Perhaps he could even take the opportunity to Breakthrough to the King Beast realm.

However, Sha Motian also knew that Heavenly Palace City was not easy to attack.

The three Grand Unity Immortal Lords of the Nangong Immortal Clan, with the support of the city's Formation,

could unleash extraordinary power.

Especially Nangong Tianming, who was Sha Motian's primary concern.

Nangong Tianming had been a Grand Unity Immortal Lord for hundreds of millions of years.

Even as a Nine-Star Chaos Beast, Sha Motian was not confident

that he could defeat Nangong Tianming.

Especially after Heavenly Palace City activated its Formation, it would be even harder to defeat him.

But this time, it was an opportunity.

This time, several large tribes nearby had all mobilized in force,

suppressing all other Lord-level Immortal Cities completely.

If they concentrated their strength to launch an attack at this time,

the Nangong Immortal Clan would likely be unable to find support.

If there were no other external support,

Sha Motian had full confidence that he could take Heavenly Palace City.

Thinking of this,

Sha Motian raised the hammer in his hand high,

and shouted excitedly,

"Warriors, charge together and take Heavenly Palace City."

"For the tribe, let us capture as many sacrificial offerings as we can."

Roar…

Roar…

With just two short sentences,

Sha Motian stirred up the emotions of all the Chaos Beasts present.

Countless Chaos Beasts let out a heaven-shaking roar in unison,

as if Heavenly Palace City was right beneath their feet,

and they only needed to use a little strength to crush it.

Sha Motian took the lead.

He swung the giant hammer in his hand and charged rapidly toward Heavenly Palace City.

Behind him were over thirty Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts of seven stars or higher.

As for the Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beasts further behind, there were thousands of them.

Mingsha Ridge had mobilized in full force.

A massive Aura instantly pressed down upon Heavenly Palace City.

"As expected, they have come for Heavenly Palace City."

Nangong Tianming stood on the city tower, watching the soaring Aura of the Chaos Beasts in the distance.

He knew

this time, things likely would not end well.

It seemed that Mingsha Ridge was determined to breach Heavenly Palace City.

Nangong Tianming looked into the distance.

Seeing those thirty-plus Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts, he could not help but feel a headache.

Thirty-five seven-star, two eight-star.

Plus the Nine-Star High Priest Sha Motian, this was the full strength Mingsha Ridge had mobilized this time.

As for those Chaos Beasts below seven stars,

Nangong Tianming did not even glance at them.

He only needed to hold off all those Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts.

Someone would naturally deal with the Chaos Beasts below seven stars.

To cope with this beast tide, the Nangong Immortal Clan had conscripted a large number of Cultivators.

Although they could not compare to the Chaos Beasts in terms of numbers,

with the support of the Formation, they surely would not suffer too great a loss.

The premise was that they could hold off all these Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts.

Thinking of this,

Nangong Tianming took out an Immortal Transmission Mirror and quickly cast a spell.

"All Garrison Cities, evacuate immediately and concentrate all forces to defend Heavenly Palace City."

After conveying the order,

Nangong Tianming soared into the air and landed on a massive immortal ship in mid-air.

The Heavenly Palace immortal ship.

This was Nangong Tianming's greatest reliance.

As long as this immortal ship was present, he could retreat or advance at will.

No matter how many Chaos Beasts there were, he was not afraid in the slightest.

"Hmph."

Sha Motian watched Nangong Tianming, who was standing on top of the immortal ship,

and could not help but let out a cold snort.

In past beast tides,

it was precisely because of this immortal ship that he had suffered so much.

But this time was different.

This time, he had come prepared,

and Mingsha Ridge had a ten-fold numerical advantage.

He did not believe

that Nangong Tianming could pull any more tricks this time.

Thinking of this,

Sha Motian raised his giant hammer high and shouted loudly to the surrounding Chaos Beasts,

"For the tribe, attack!"

Roar…

The boundless Chaos Beasts surged crazily toward Heavenly Palace City.

The Cultivators guarding the city retreated to the foot of the city walls,

preparing to rely on the support of the Formation to gradually wipe out the beast tide.

"Hmph."

Nangong Tianming cast a spell.

The immortal ship turned into a streak of light and rushed rapidly toward Sha Motian.

Boom…

Three thick cannon barrels extended from the front of the immortal ship.

The barrels shone with intense rainbow light, blasting directly toward three Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.

Eight-Star and Nine-Star Chaos Beasts were not so easy to kill,

so Nangong Tianming locked his target onto those Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.

He thought

that as long as he could kill or injure a few Seven-Star Chaos Beasts,

Mingsha Ridge would not dare to continue attacking the city

and would certainly retreat immediately.

Seven-Star Chaos Beasts were not cabbages.

Mingsha Ridge could not afford the loss.

Facing the firepower of the High-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, Seven-Star Chaos Beasts could not withstand it.

However,

just at this moment,

an Eight-Star Chaos Beast standing beside Sha Motian suddenly took out an oversized scoop.

The scoop extended forward, directly sucking the rainbow light fired by the High-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon into itself.

The powerful might of the Immortal Extermination Cannon was directly neutralized into nothingness by the scoop in the Chaos Beast's hand.

Seeing this situation,

Sha Motian could not help but laugh wildly,

"Hahaha, old monster Tianming, without the threat of the High-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, let's see how you die this time."

Sha Motian swung his massive hammer and lunged ferociously toward Nangong Tianming.
