Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

With several magical treasures working together, they might not be unable to resist the erosion of the ghostly mist.

The next step is to persevere.

As the ghostly mist spread, more and more third-tier demonic beasts began to attack the immortal city.

The people at the Black Sea camp were also gradually arranged to climb the walls of the Immortal City.

Countless demonic beasts, enveloped in gray mist, crashed into the city wall. The mist acted like a protective demonic force, clinging to the beasts' bodies.

The cultivators on the city wall unleashed countless magical artifacts and spells, causing the demonic beasts to tumble and fall—but the beasts that landed struggled a few times before getting back up, covered in various wounds, but did not die immediately.

The gray mist seeped into the wound, and a layer of gray film condensed on the surface of the bloody and mangled wound, temporarily sealing the injury.

The ghostly mist enhanced their defensive capabilities.

Lin Zhao also faced off against several third-tier demonic beasts.

Normally, such a monster could be killed in just a quarter of an hour.

But it took him almost half an hour to deal with one of the mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts, which was no less difficult to kill than a late-stage Core Formation demonic beast.

The ghostly mist lived up to its reputation, elevating the strength of the demonic beasts by a whole level.

Lin Zhao changed his methods and used the Three Fiends Sword Technique. Although the destructive power of the Three Fiends Sword Qi was weakened, the impact was not significant.

It seems that only low-level spells are affected, while high-level techniques are only slightly impacted.

With Lin Zhao there, this section of the city wall was easily defended.

But things aren't so easy in other areas.

Lin Zhao glanced to both sides. The magical aura on the south wall was noticeably sparser than on the north side, while a series of impact sounds came from the north.

Fortunately, there are many Core Formation cultivators in the Immortal City. The number has exceeded two hundred, including those from the Black Sea camp and those from the Immortal City itself.

With superior numbers, they formed a defensive formation.

Moreover, the cultivators quickly discovered a key breakthrough: the ghost mist's resistance to lightning power was significantly weaker.

Thunder is the most yang and yang power in the world, naturally restraining yin and evil spirits, and ghostly mist is no exception.

After the news spread, the cultivators immediately changed their tactics.

Core Formation cultivators with lightning-attribute spells and magical artifacts were deployed to key points on the defensive line, where countless bolts of lightning bombarded the area, tearing open gap after gap in the gray mist.

They finally withstood the onslaught of the beast tide.

The Immortal City Formation also helped a lot, automatically triggering a new round every so often.

The runes on the light screen suddenly lit up, and a golden shockwave spread outward from the city wall.

The gray mist was forcibly evaporated in the area it swept over, and the gray protective aura on the surface of the monster's body shattered in response.

Each time the formation is activated, the pressure on the front lines eases.

Although the defense has been somewhat difficult, so far there have been few casualties among Core Formation cultivators.

This indicates that the demon beast has not yet reached the cultivator's strength limit.

Everyone knew that even a Core Formation cultivator who had lived for over a hundred years wouldn't easily unleash their full power when facing something like Ghost Mist.

The pattern of the Ghost Mist is that it bursts forth and then gradually weakens. As long as the Immortal City's defenses can be stabilized, dragging it out is considered a victory.

half a month later.

A violent tremor suddenly came from the direction of the north city wall, and the entire section of the wall shook. The restriction patterns on the wall flickered a few times.

At the same time, a deep roar came, and when the roar came, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the city wall all turned pale for a moment.

There's a big one.

Lin Zhao was meditating on the city wall when he sensed the commotion and opened his eyes.

The vibration was not far from him.

He didn't move immediately. After waiting for a while, the tremors continued, and the huge thing was clearly still raging.

But after thinking about it, Lin Zhao still got up.

Preserving strength is one thing; allowing the immortal city to be breached is another.

Once the immortal city falls, the ghostly mist will pour in, and it won't be so easy to take it back then.

You need to be clear about this balance.

When Lin Zhao arrived at the north city wall, he saw a hundred-zhang-long armored dragon.

The dragon's entire body was covered with iron-gray scales, each scale as large as a millstone, with a dark metallic luster on its surface.

The gray fog billowed around it, making its outline appear even more menacing.

The dragon's tail lashed against the city wall, causing the protective light barrier to tremble violently and emit a muffled thunderous sound.

No wonder this place couldn't hold out.

The Ironclad Flood Dragon was already a top-tier member of the third-tier peak, and with the added power of the Ghost Mist, its strength was approaching the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Zhao carefully examined the aura of the dragon and confirmed that it was not the one he had encountered when he first arrived at the Endless Demon Sea. That one had already reached the true limit of the third rank, and if it were further enhanced by the ghost mist, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to defeat it quickly.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhao charged forward with the Azure Lotus Sword.

Three people at the peak of the Core Formation stage also emerged from the Black Sea camp. Together with Lin Zhao, the four of them joined forces to block the attack of the armored dragon.

The battle lasted for several days.

The four of them took turns attacking, giving the dragon no chance to catch its breath.

First, Lin Zhao used the Divine Fiend Sword Qi to tear open a huge gash in the abdomen, and then the other three took turns bombarding the wound. The dragon's scales were sliced ​​off layer by layer, and the wound continued to widen.

The armored dragon was in pain and its tail swept wildly, smashing countless huge craters into the surrounding area and stirring up the gray mist.

Finally, the group used a portion of the fourth-tier formation of the Immortal City, activating some of the restrictive patterns on the city walls.

More than ten golden chains shot out from the light screen and wrapped around the dragon's entire body.

The dragon struggled a few times, but the chains tightened, its scales shattered, and dark red blood seeped from the gaps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four of them worked together to smash the dragon's head.

The hundred-foot-long body crashed into the sea, and the splashing waves, along with the gray mist, rushed up the city wall.

Lin Zhao was given two dragon claws, which made a crisp metallic sound when struck, making them excellent materials for crafting magical artifacts.

The fighting then intensified.

One after another, peak-level Tier 3 monsters appeared.

Lin Zhao faced off against the Ghostly Octopus and the Mysterious Water Dragon Turtle.

The Ghost-Touched Octopus was entirely black, with more than ten tentacles, each several tens of feet long, covered with suckers.

Lin Zhao used the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Formation, with the five elements of sword energy rotating endlessly and the five forces attacking in alternation.

The Ghostly Octopus was trapped in the sword formation for two whole days. Its tentacles were cut off one by one, and finally its body was pierced through by the combined force of the five elements sword energy, grinding it to death.

The Xuan Shui Long Gui is different.

The dragon turtle was three hundred feet in size, and its shell was covered with dark blue water mines.

Countless mines formed a blue mine barrier, combining offense and defense.

When the sword energy of the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Formation struck, the tortoise shell remained unmoved; instead, most of the sword energy was swallowed up by the water and thunder barrier.

The others also had their own opponents and couldn't come to their aid.

Lin Zhao dispelled the sword formation and took a breath.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered in front of him, and the five elements of sword energy merged from five colors into one, condensing into silver-white Heavenly Gang Sword Energy.

The sword energy swirled and intertwined, condensing into a four-element formation in the sky.

The Four Symbols Heavenly Dipper Sword Formation reappears.
