The flying beasts are getting closer to Celestial Star City, the City Defense Crossbows are fired once more.

This time, the City Defense Crossbows were only twenty zhang away from the beast swarm.

With the speed of the crossbow arrows, the beast swarm found it hard to dodge.

With a series of "whoosh" sounds breaking through the air, nearly a thousand flying Star Beasts plummeted from mid-air.

The beast swarm came under attack and immediately halted.

They hovered in the air, beginning to gather Elemental Power, preparing to attack the Defense Array.

Ye Feiyang, seeing this, issued orders again.

"Everyone, attack those Star Beasts, do not let them attack the Defense Array."

As his command fell, everyone immediately commanded their Guardian Beasts to launch an attack on the beast swarm, and all Beast Masters released the "Barrier" in front of the array.

For a moment, the city wall was awash with colorful elemental lights, the intense rumbling sound was incessant, and the frenzied energy waves swept across the city wall.

The beast swarm was directly forced to retreat, and numerous Star Beast corpses fell to the ground like raindrops.

Soon the ground beneath was covered with the corpses of Star Beasts.

The human side also suffered significant losses, with nearly a thousand Guardian Beasts dead instantly, and hundreds of Beast Masters were killed or wounded.

Wang Haichuan looked at the pile of Star Beast corpses below the city, his face changed involuntarily, and he called Ye Feiyang to his side and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, let people clear these Star Beast corpses."

Ye Feiyang heard this but did not immediately respond, instead he turned to look towards outside the city.

At this time, the land-based beast swarm had already rushed into a range of fifty zhang from the city wall.

After considering for a moment, Ye Feiyang nodded and said: "Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

Wang Haichuan had reasons to clear the Star Beast corpses at this critical moment.

The height of the city wall was about five or six zhang, and it was built with exceedingly hard Star Crystal Steel.

This metal has bad ductility and is not suitable for making weapons, hence its low value, but its characteristic is hardness, even a Commander Level Star Beast's full-force strike is hard to shatter it.

That is to say, the possibility of the beast tide breaking the city by demolishing the city wall is nearly zero, hence they can only breach the city by climbing over the wall.

And those Star Beast corpses happen to be used as stepping stones.

If these Star Beast corpses are not cleared away promptly, the difficulty of the beast tide attacking the city would undoubtedly decrease significantly.

Under Ye Feiyang's arrangement, the city gate slowly opened a one-zhang-sized gap.

Witnessed by nearly a thousand Soul Pupil-Level Beast Masters, each commanding their Guardian Beasts, pushing over a hundred metal carts several zhang in size, charging towards outside the city.

Their speed was fast, as if they had gone through hundreds or thousands of training sessions.

The metal carts stopped in front of the Star Beast corpses, then several Guardian Beasts worked together to load the carts.

Within a few breaths, the metal carts were stacked full.

Without the slightest hesitation, they pulled the carts and rushed into the city.

At this moment, the flying beast swarm discovered the situation below the city.

They immediately stopped attacking the city and charged towards the metal carts.

Ye Feiyang, seeing this, said in a deep voice: "Everyone, protect the Corpse Clearing Team members."

Upon hearing the words, no one dared to be negligent, and quickly commanded their Guardian Beasts to join the battle.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Clearing Team members were rushing into the city swiftly.

But how could their speed compare with the flying Star Beasts.

Quickly, more than a dozen carts were intercepted by Star Beasts, and more and more Star Beasts charged over.

Ye Feiyang, seeing the sight, said in a deep voice: "Close the city gate."

Upon hearing Ye Feiyang's words, the Beast Masters intercepted by Star Beasts showed a look of despair.

Ye Feiyang, seeing this, felt somewhat unbearable, however, the city gate must be closed, otherwise letting the beast swarm rush inside the city would result in even more deaths.

Wang Haichuan, seeing this, patted Ye Feiyang's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice: "There is no other choice, we have to put the bigger picture first."

Ye Feiyang heard the words and replied in a deep voice: "I understand."

At this moment, the land-based Star Beasts had already rushed to within a range of twenty zhang from the city wall.

Wang Haichuan, seeing this, took out a metal sphere the size of a baby's fist from the Spatial Ring.

If Chu Chen were here, he would surely recognize the origin of this metal sphere.

Because it was the Starburst Bomb used by Mu Chengxue.

Without any hesitation, Wang Haichuan directly injected Soul Power into the Starburst Bomb, then flicked his wrist, sending the Starburst Bomb straight into the beast swarm.

Only hearing a loud "boom", the Starburst Bomb exploded directly among the beast swarm.

With the Starburst Bomb as the center, the Star Beasts within a two-zhang radius were instantly eradicated.

This wasn't over; the Starburst Bomb seemed to cause a chain reaction like a basin of cold water poured into boiling oil.

The ground twenty zhang outside the city wall suddenly began to shake, then the entire soil layer was tossed, with intense "rumbling" sounds incessantly, among which were mingled the hoarse howls of Star Beasts.

The violent explosion raised countless dust, enveloping the entire beast swarm.

This kind of commotion was naturally noticed by everyone.

Li Wen frowned and asked in a low voice: "Director, what was that just now?"

Lu Hongfei, hearing this, said in a deep voice: "It should be the Starburst Bomb."

"How is that possible, how many Starburst Bombs are needed to cause such a commotion."

"There's no mistake, our Lord City Lord has truly kept it hidden deeply, all these years of savings have probably been emptied."

It turns out that a large number of Starburst Bombs had been buried within a range of twenty zhang of the city wall.

Just triggering one would detonate all the Starburst Bombs.

As the two marveled, the smoke and dust quietly dissipated.

It was only now that everyone saw the situation outside the city, limbs scattered everywhere, the soil had been tainted to a blood red by the blood.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp; it was simply like purgatory, the thick smell of blood causing many to start vomiting uncontrollably.

More than twenty thousand Star Beasts were wiped out in an instant.

Yet, despite achieving such an astonishing feat, Wang Haichuan's face showed no signs of joy, instead he stared at the distance with a gloomy expression, knowing his trump cards had been expended, and the beast tide's high-end combat power had yet to make its move.

He was very aware that the real battle was about to begin.

The people from the Five Great Daoist Schools and the three major families also noticed this point.

Currently, they had slain over a hundred thousand Star Beasts, but these beasts were merely cannon fodder.

Their existence was only to clear traps for the beast tide at the rear.

Although everyone knew this, the beast swarm was too vast in number, and these tactics were necessary for the final battle; otherwise, they would be exhausted to death.

The Beast King, looking at the beast swarm's miserable state, displayed no mourning, but instead showed a trace of excitement.

Now there were no more traps between the city walls and beast tide; as long as the army pressed forward, Celestial Star City could be flattened.

It wanted to sacrifice all these humans' souls, allowing itself to step into that new Realm it hadn't touched in decades.

It still had hidden techniques untapped, while those humans had exhausted their resources; victory ultimately belonged to it.

Thinking of this, the Beast King could hardly suppress its inner joy, and it let out an excited roar once more.

The Commander Level Star Beasts standing ahead immediately rose and charged towards Celestial Star City.

Though numbering only three thousand, their momentum was more intimidating than any beast swarm.

It was then that everyone atop the city wall finally realized that the real decisive battle was about to unfold.
