Chapter 884 The Sluggish World of Soul Beasts

"The Demon Whale King is still capable."

Di Tian didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he stared blankly for a while, lost in thought, before slowly speaking.

Although he was known as the number one soul beast in the world and had the title of Beast God, he still acknowledged the strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

However, in his view, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was strong, he only possessed a soul core, just like the Evil Emperor and the Snow Emperor, or rather, a pill. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the opponent.

However, after witnessing and personally experiencing the enhancement that the energy armor brought to Xuanzi, Di Tian became somewhat uncertain about this conclusion.

He knew that the Demon Whale King actually died from the explosion of the rings, from the Great Sumeru Hammer that unleashed a god-level attack.

Neither the Demon Whale King nor he could withstand that kind of attack.

But at least, after being defeated by Poseidon, the opponent really stayed in the Demon Whale Sea for a thousand years and developed powerful technology. It's just that luck wasn't on the Demon Whale King's side.

As for the land-based world of spirit beasts, or more precisely, the Star Dou Forest, have any technologies emerged over the years that could significantly enhance the combat capabilities of spirit beasts?
No.

Ten thousand years after the war between the two gods ended, the soul beasts of Star Dou Forest remained dormant, watching as the human world witnessed the rapid development of various new technologies.

For humans, soul beasts are the true immortal species, the race most likely to make continuous progress in various fields.

However, their innovative abilities seem to have become dulled and stagnant due to their long lifespans, remaining unchanged, just like the former divine realm.

As expected, his idea of ​​instigating the beast tide was correct. If the soul beast world could not make further technological breakthroughs, then during the period of waiting for the master to revive, it should at least block and slow down the pace of human technological progress!

Faced with technological innovation and iteration, even a correct enlightenment ultimately led to a slippery slope of fallacies in Di Tian's corrupt mind.

Seeing that Elder Xuan's originally cracked arm energy armor was completely repaired as the energy was refreshed, Di Tian's fear intensified, and he once again attacked Elder Xuan!
At this moment, Chen Ping stood on the city wall, watching the dark yellow light and the deep black light in the sky clash against each other, and a look of tension appeared in his eyes.

Although Chen Ping had brought back the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's signature move for Elder Xuan, he still felt it was uncertain whether Elder Xuan could withstand Di Tian's beating.

Although the outbreak of the beast tide at this time was much later than the time in the original work, and Shrek City was far more powerful than the Shrek City in the original work, the key point is that what truly forced Di Tian to retreat during that beast tide was the combined attack of Elder Xuan and Elder Mu, who had already returned to the tree!
At this time, Elder Mu was still in seclusion, and it was uncertain when he would emerge. With Elder Xuan alone taking on Di Tian's beating, Chen Ping felt it was going to be tough.

However, at this point, Chen Ping could only hope that Elder Xuan could stall for time long enough for Huo Yuhao to bring back reinforcements.

Chen Ping let out a long sigh. If he could, he wouldn't mind using the top-grade rare metals he had collected over this period to forge a set of Heavenly Forged Battle Armor for Elder Xuan.

The Heavenly Forged Battle Armor is comparable to the four-word Battle Armor from the third era of the game. With the Heavenly Forged Battle Armor and the Energy Armor Transformation working together, the boost to a Soul Master's combat power is enough to push Elder Xuan to the peak of level ninety-nine, and it is even possible that he could touch the legendary demigod realm.

The key point is that in the current Douluo Continent, Chen Ping himself is the top-level blacksmith. Even he has only just touched the rudiments of the seventh-level Saint Craftsman Soul Forging technique. He is still far from the ninth-level God Craftsman Heaven Forging. How could he possibly help Elder Xuan make the Heaven Forged Battle Armor?

As for the Soul Forged Battle Armor, it provides a decent boost to ordinary Soul Douluos, and might even be useful for Title Douluos. However, for Elder Xuan, it's neither good nor bad.

Moreover, the beast tide came too suddenly, leaving Chen Ping no time to prepare.

All Chen Ping can do now is pray that Elder Xuan is tough enough to deal with the beast tide below!
"What are you all looking at? Everyone, prepare for defense. Soul tool first position, ready to activate. All Soul Masters, take your positions and follow my command!" Time Douluo Shi Xing roared, his powerful voice rousing Chen Ping from his daze and pulling most of the others back from their oppressive state.

In war, morale is always extremely important.

As long as morale is high, the belief in victory remains. Without morale, even a massive army may not be able to resist the enemy.

The Shrek City garrison has never lacked morale.

Despite facing a powerful army of hundreds of thousands of soul beasts, and despite the fact that the Taotie Douluo in the sky was clearly at a disadvantage in his battle against the Beast God.

However, under Shi Xing's command, the Shrek City defenders' eyes quickly became firm and sharp.

This is a war we cannot afford to lose; to lose means death.

This is a war between humans and spirit beasts; the word "surrender" doesn't exist on the battlefield.

No explanation was needed; everyone understood that this battle was one that had to be fought to the death.

Only by defeating the soul beasts and protecting Shrek City can they survive.

Because the south city wall faces the direction of the Starry Sky Forest, the strongest defenses were deployed on the south city wall.

On the city wall, hundreds of soul-guided howitzers have begun to systematically calculate and correct their firing parameters.

Inside the city wall, at its base, dark holes appeared one after another. Only when the ever-changing light and shadow from the sky fell on the city wall could one vaguely see the metallic luster hidden behind those holes.

Under the command of the elders, the students from Shrek Academy's inner court quickly dispersed to various locations along the south city wall.

Although they did not participate in the last defense against the beast tide, the academy still learned a lot of experience and lessons from the previous battle regarding the way the beast tide was fought.

Without a doubt, the combined strength of Shrek City is far inferior to that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Their only reliance was the solid city walls and the accumulated resources of Shrek Academy.

Therefore, in a defensive battle, the city must never be breached. Once the city falls, everything is over.

The fighting style of spirit beasts is always different from that of humans. Ordinary spirit beasts are of low intelligence, only capable of charging around recklessly, and are completely incapable of executing complex commands.

As for the high-level ferocious beasts, although they possess intelligence comparable to humans, they are inherently arrogant and unwilling to employ any schemes.

In their minds, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are invincible. Therefore, their fighting style is simple: frontal assault.

This fearless charge mechanism, similar to monster spawning and behemoth sieges, suited Chen Ping's taste perfectly, because it reminded him of a trendy game type he had played on Earth before—tower defense!
