Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 511: Chapter 364: Total War, Six Earth Martial Veins! (Double Chapter)

The main city’s response was swift, and the City Defense Array has already been activated!

A faint glow enveloped the entire city, isolating all dangers outside.

Song Changming could see clearly that it was a swarm of flying demon beasts, approaching from afar and skimming over the protective array above the main city at a height of less than a few dozen meters.

The massive demon beasts, each as giant as hundreds of meters, spread their fleshy wings wide, blocking the sky and covering the moon.

Their appearance somewhat resembled Western dragons, giant flying lizards, hideous and terrifying!

Their sudden appearance also triggered cries of alarm throughout the city.

In the areas outside the Cui Bai Main City, many fortresses and outposts were stationed, along with military bases, making it a well-defended region.

Under such circumstances, the citizens within the main city rarely see demon beasts in their daily lives, so it was no wonder they were frightened by the sudden appearance of these giant demon beasts.

However, these giant beasts did not seem to come for a night raid on Cui Bai Main City; they merely glanced at the human city below before flying straight past without any pause.

And trailing behind the demon beasts were slender streaks of light, closely pursuing them.

In the courtyard, Song Changming looked up and saw clearly that the streaks of light were phenomena caused by Qi Manipulation.

A group of Human Race powerhouses was chasing down these demon beasts.

”They don’t seem like military experts...” Song Changming murmured to himself.

Perhaps they were people from a Sect from a Dongtian Blessed Land.

Song Changming speculated inwardly but wasn’t too sure, as he had only caught a fleeting glimpse before they vanished from his view, moving at considerable speed.

In the main city, figures also flew out one after another, all Martial Arts powerhouses, swiftly moving toward the direction the demon beasts had departed.

No matter what the situation is, they would never allow these demon beasts to run rampant in Cui Bai Dao.

”Could it be, this is the start...” Song Changming murmured.

During the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun period, the Demon Race bloodline was at its most active, and chaos across the Human Race lands was inevitable.

Song Changming hadn’t expected that even before the first day of the ill omen had passed, he would see active demon beasts above the main city.

Accompanied by a rumble, a shocking blast of energy erupted from the explosion of Gang Qi, sweeping back toward the main city, stirring up gusts of wind.

Roar!

A deep, rumbling roar of a beast spread hundreds of miles under the night sky, heard clearly by the entire populace of Cui Bai Main City.

No doubt, the Human Race forces had caught up with those giant demon beasts, engaging in a fierce encirclement and suppression.

The roars of the giant beasts did not last long before quieting down.

The night returned to peace once again.

The appearance of the giant beasts seemed like a small interlude in the night, causing no significant damage, yet it cast an early shadow over everyone’s hearts.

Everyone who understood this ominous sign knew this was just the beginning.

The next day.

Black Brilliance rose again, just as the ominous sign described.

Like a giant black hole hanging in the sky, it was unnerving.

Only a ring of golden light at the edge remained, making the land no brighter than at night.

Song Changming, in the morning, looked at this gradually rising Black Brilliance, feeling a nameless palpitation once again.

Afraid that this Black Brilliance would devour everything.

At the same time, the surrounding magnetic field energy once again underwent a distortion-like change.

In the courtyard, the originally functioning Spirit Gathering Array lost its efficacy, and the chaotic Spiritual Qi no longer drawn by the Spirit Gathering Array scattered away from the courtyard.

Song Changming checked the other Talisman Arrays he had set up and confirmed that they had not successively failed before putting on armor and heading to the Military Department’s station in the Second District.

As expected, the orders from above should have been passed down.

Sure enough, the air was filled with terrible news from last night.

A flying message came from the border, stating that a large number of demon beasts had surged into Yun Province, and the border defenses were in a state of emergency. It wasn’t just villagers; many townsfolk had already been massacred by demon fiends, with innumerable casualties and injuries.

As Cui Bai Dao was on the southern frontier of Yun Province, it naturally bore the brunt of the demon swarms’ frontal attack.

Currently, in the Cui Bai Dao area, all twenty-eight cities had entered the highest state of alert, the City Defense Arrays activated overnight, burning Spirit Crystals without regard to cost, and not closing them easily.

In the hall, Song Changming soon met with Grand Marshal Wang Tianshuang and several Little Flag Masters, including Yang Zhen.

At this moment, not a single person wore a relaxed expression; all had a grave look, unsmiling.

Even Gao Shuxi, who usually opposed Song Changming and Yang Zhen, had no interest in confrontation now, merely casting a cold glance in Song Changming’s direction before looking away.

Everyone knew that when the nest is overturned, no egg is intact.

With foreign invasions and impending disasters, no one wanted to see the situation spiral out of control, as it would only spell doom for everyone involved.

It was now an important moment to put aside prejudices and unite against external threats.

”Sorry for being late,” Song Changming cupped his hands.

”No problem, your residence is in the Third District, so it’s normal to be a little late,” Wang Tianshuang nodded at Song Changming, gesturing for him to find a seat.

”Currently, the situation in Cui Bai Dao is very dire. This Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun, the demon beast swarm arrived earlier than ever before...”

Wang Tianshuang said in a deep voice, explaining the latest status of the border defensive line.

Now, the few major cities in the south could only rely on the City Defense Arrays for barely sustaining themselves. Early this morning, already several units of the Cuiqi Army had set off, headed for the border.

Without a doubt, the 41st Army, where Song Changming was, was also a unit poised to set out.

”News from various places, it is not just our Cui Bai Dao facing a demon invasion, the same is occurring at various border locations across Yun Province, this is a premeditated offensive...”
