Chapter 787 - 517: Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage, Lin Changsheng Ascends to Legend! (Grand Finale)

Outside Nanguan City, Gu Shan and his group finally arrived, bringing the injured Yan Zhen with them.

They had intended to enter the city and heal Yan Zhen after getting inside.

However, numerous cultivators at the city gate blocked Gu Shan and his companions.

"The beast tide has erupted—you might be evolved demon beasts. You're not allowed to enter the city!"

A powerful city-guarding cultivator barked out.

Hearing this, Gu Shan was instantly consumed with rage.

They had done their utmost in Ice and Snow Province to suppress the demon beasts, and now these people were denying them entry?

"You want to stop me?"

Cold light flashed in Gu Shan's eyes. If this man wanted to die, so be it.

"Thinking to force your way in? You're welcome to try!"

In a flash, a number of cultivators surrounded him, completely unafraid of Gu Shan, thinking that their numbers would be enough to drive him off.

But their thinking couldn't have been more wrong.

Gu Shan's cultivation was not something they could contend with.

"Courting death!"

With a roar, Gu Shan erupted with primordial power, blasting out a punch in an instant.

Seeing Gu Shan actually making a move, several cultivator powerhouses immediately launched a group attack.

Various immortal techniques and Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures struck toward Gu Shan.

BOOM——

In an instant, both sides' attacks collided violently, unleashing an earth-shaking explosion.

Amid the roar, numerous cultivators were hurled backward; several died in the blink of an eye.

"A Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse?"

The surrounding cultivators were stunned, never expecting Gu Shan to be this terrifyingly strong.

"Who else dares to stand in my way?"

Gu Shan swept an icy gaze around, and no one dared utter another word.

They could only watch helplessly as Gu Shan's party entered the city.

Once inside, Gu Shan pulled out an elixir from his robes and began healing Yan Zhen.

...

Soon, powerful figures from every Immortal Sect gathered inside Nanguan City.

Meanwhile, outside the south city gates of Spiritual Spring Province, the demon beast army halted, seeming to await orders from the Demon King.

In the great hall of Nanguan City.

The powerhouses from all the Immortal Sects were assembled.

"This beast uprising is far stronger than anything before. We must get the sect leaders of all the Immortal Sects to take the field if we're to suppress it."

"Absolutely! Without them, there's no way we can hold it back!"

"There are three immortal realm-level Immortal Beasts among them—we can't possibly fight those!"

"But if we withdraw, millions within Spiritual Spring Province will suffer a cataclysmic disaster!"

...

All around, sect elders from major sects suggested retreating, so the Immortal Realm powerhouses could handle the threat.

But when they thought of leaving, knowing Spiritual Spring Province would become a purgatory, they hesitated.

"Immortal Master Zhengyang, you're of noble status in the Immortal Palace—it should be you who goes to request the sect leaders to take action. We'll stay and hold back the demon beasts!"

Elder Zheng from the Heaven-Suppressing Sect spoke up.

With the Human Race on the brink of annihilation, old grudges were set aside.

Hearing this, Immortal Master Zhengyang had no intention of retreating.

"My Immortal Palace is the strongest sect of the Immortal Realm. How could I withdraw in such a crisis? I think passing the message should be left to Elder Zheng!"

Immortal Master Zhengyang refused.

"This..."

Elder Zheng looked troubled, but could only nod in agreement in the end.

Once the Heaven-Suppressing Sect elder departed, the Immortal Sects steeled themselves for a last stand against the beast tide in Nanguan City.

"Elders, elders! The beast tide is upon us—the beast tide is here!"

Outside the great hall, a disciple rushed in breathlessly, shouting in panic.

At his words, the elders instantly soared into the sky, appearing atop the city walls in a flash.

BOOM——

The earth began to shake violently.

The scale of incoming demon beasts could be seen—countless.

Screeee——

ROAR——

Waves of shrieks and roars echoed; birds of prey filled the skies, and savage beasts prowled the ground.

In a few heartbeats, countless demon beasts came into view.

In the sky: Celestial Thunder Fury Eagles, Six-Clawed Demon Eagles, Two-winged White-striped Tigers—ferocious beasts of all kinds.

These flying beasts had no small power, all within the Integration to Mahayana stages.

On the ground: Ice and Snow Frost Wolves, Hanging Bright Tigers, Black Gold Fire Leopards, Flying Kui Snakes—demon beasts too numerous to count.

"This..."

The immortal sect powerhouses stared in horror at the terrifying scene, all gasping in shock.

They knew that if they didn't retreat, they might lose their lives right here.

These demon beasts were no common foes—at minimum at Void Refining and Integration Stages.

The stronger ones were at the Mahayana Stage.

Not to mention the many great demon beasts in the Tribulation Crossing Stage among them.

And this was just the vanguard—the Immortal Beasts hadn't even stepped forward yet.

"Kill—!"

Immortal Master Zhengyang was first to attack, summoning his Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure and swinging it, unleashing a beam of divine light that slaughtered the demon beasts en masse.

The other Immortal Sect powerhouses wasted no time, each releasing their Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures to attack.

But two fists are no match for ten.

It wasn't long before the Human Race began to falter.

Scarlet blood painted the land red.

"Go!"

Inside the city, Gu Shan saw the beast tide raging, and prepared to escape again.

But Yan Zhen seemed to sense something.

"Chan—Chang'sheng is here—"

As Yan Zhen spoke, she gazed into the distance.

Sure enough, just as Immortal Master Zhengyang and the others were about to falter, Lin Chang'sheng arrived riding atop Candle Flame.

Candle Flame spat out a mouthful of divine fire, burning countless demon beasts on the ground to ash.

Lin Chang'sheng unleashed the Myriad Thunder Godslaying Arrow Technique, instantly annihilating a massive swath of demon beasts.

Giving Immortal Master Zhengyang and the sects a moment to finally catch their breath.

"Is that—Lin Chang'sheng?"

Immortal Master Zhengyang could hardly believe his eyes; after just over a year, Lin Chang'sheng had grown so strong.

The beast standing beneath him was no ordinary creature!

Its body was dragon-like, breathing divine flame—its power easily at the late Tribulation Crossing Stage, perhaps even Immortal Realm Cultivation.
