Once the gates of Panlong City are breached, the Heavenly Demons will surely rush in.
They had no choice but to fight to the death!
The fallen spirit general even peered through the doorway.
The soldiers gripped their weapons and gathered behind the door. As its gaze swept over them, they couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat pouring down their backs.
Are the city gates about to fall? Are they about to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the legendary Great Demon King?
Just then, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook. Two messengers who had just climbed onto the city gate stumbled and nearly fell.
Not only did bricks and tiles fall from buildings inside the city and cracks appear on the outer walls, but several large rocks also rolled down from the hills outside the city, killing many black moths, and even causing a large crater to collapse in the ground.
It took about several dozen breaths for everything to slowly recover.
What's going on? The immortals and demons exchanged bewildered glances. How could there be an earthquake in the secret realm?
Is this earthquake part of the secret realm, or a means to deal with them?
Geng Yue looked at Jia Loutian, who shook his head: "Two hundred years ago, I never heard of a major earthquake in Panlong City."
"This means this secret realm is unstable!" Master Qu Yang interjected. "Is it about to give way?"
Since the Panlong Secret Realm is man-made, its strength should have an upper limit. It's not surprising that the secret realm itself couldn't withstand a large-scale siege by the gods, right?
"That makes sense." Jia Loutian nodded. "Intensify the attack!"
Inside the city, the two messengers had just steadied themselves when they suddenly pointed to the square, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Seeing this, Immortal Mingke turned around and saw a flash of light in the South Gate Square.

In the Battle of Mingsha Forest, yet another Heavenly Demon has fallen.
Jiang Jiaojiao's team did a great job.
However, this brave female general ultimately succumbed to her injuries and died in battle, leaving more than a hundred of her elite troops dead.
Immediately afterwards, the immortals and demons on Bega's side withdrew from various battlefields and concentrated in the two armies on the central and southwestern routes, pushing forward with them.
In this way, both armies have gathered at least ten immortals and demons, making it difficult for the God-Slaying Squad to compete for merit.
The opponent's tactical adjustment was also within He Lingchuan's expectations.
He could understand Gao Huaiyuan's strategy. A multi-pronged attack should, in theory, leverage the numerical superiority of the Bega forces and the combined strength of the immortals and demons, achieving victory at a lower cost—essentially trading time for space. This also aligned with Gao Huaiyuan's consistent fighting style; in such a crucial battle, Gao Huaiyuan would undoubtedly favor his most reliable and effective tactics.
And his tactics were effective; the battle line did indeed advance steadily towards the walls of Mingsha Forest Village. However, these achievements were overshadowed by the casualties of the immortals and demons, and the ordinary soldiers on the battlefield were unaware of them. They could only hear the constant broadcasts of the immortals' and demons' deaths and injuries from Panlong City, which was particularly detrimental to morale and military intelligence.
The demons who descended to aid us this time must all be the elite of the Lingxu Clan, the most trusted backbone of the Lingxu Saint Venerable. Now they have died without achieving anything outside the high walls of the Mingsha Forest, putting even the Lingxu Saint Venerable under immense pressure.
The immortals and demons would certainly not agree to sacrifice themselves to advance the battle lines.
The Bega army had to carry out the will of the Holy Venerable Lingxu, so they changed their tactics and regrouped all the immortals and demons to advance in two directions at the same time!
This tactic involves a brutal clash between two armies, devoid of any fancy maneuvers, resulting in the greatest troop losses. However, because the immortals and demons fight as a united front, their casualty rate is significantly reduced.
This is the fighting style that Panlong hates the most, but he has no choice but to adjust his tactics accordingly.
Since they had to engage in a direct confrontation in the middle lane, Panlong had no choice but to concentrate its elite forces.
Since the Bega army had abandoned the perimeter routes, Zhong Shengguang dispatched two more teams to bypass the flanks and raid Bega's supply depot along the northernmost and southernmost lines. After all, this was one of Panlong's rare advantages; they didn't need to worry about logistics.
Then, he redistributed his energy once again, focusing Panlong's energy on seven generals, including Zhao Jinghe.
Yes, even the Grand Marshal Panlong has personally joined the fray.
The primordial energy emanating from these seven generals instantly changed from deep red to purplish-black.
In fact, Gao Huaiyuan did the same, concentrating a large amount of Bega's Yuan Power on the general in charge of the troops, since even the Heavenly Demon couldn't absorb Yuan Power. However, the difference in Yuan Power between the two sides immediately became apparent, with the general's Yuan Power only reaching a bright red level at most.
It's not that Gao Huaiyuan doesn't want to further concentrate resources, but there's an upper limit.
It's like filling several bottles with water. The bottles have a limited capacity, so you can only fill them to the brim; any more and they will overflow.
Upon seeing the Yuan Power emanating from General Panlong, Gao Huaiyuan was secretly alarmed, not expecting that Panlong could unleash such power even with his remaining strength.
The gathering of Yuan power is the will of the people. If Panlong does not perish today, it will surely become a formidable enemy of Beijia in the future.
As the main attackers, Bega's immortals and demons, having gathered together, unleashed a barrage of formations and supernatural powers, resulting in an explosive level of destructive force. Although Panlong's immortals were outnumbered, they possessed Panlong's primordial energy, making them far more resistant to supernatural powers and spells. Thus, on this vast battlefield, the ground was a raging torrent of people clashing, while the sky was a kaleidoscope of colors, emanating from supernatural powers.
Since the Middle Ages, no battle has ever been fought like this, with everything from the heavens to the earth, from armies to immortals and demons, grinding each other in a millstone of flesh and blood.
The two commanders used the battlefield as a chessboard and living beings as chess pieces, engaging in countless rounds of strategic maneuvering.
For example, after Bega pushed past Yellowstone, he began to switch to a new type of double-headed hinge. This hinge, once launched, would not land but would float five feet off the ground on a track, sweeping wildly in all directions.
When encountering mountains, the mountains break; when encountering large trees, the trees snap.
A Panlong warrior might not die from being hit, but he would at least be disoriented. The most terrifying thing was being caught in the hinge, which would truly cut him in half or shatter him to pieces.
Therefore, once the hinge was activated, the surrounding Panlong army had no choice but to dodge, and their formation was disrupted, allowing Bega's army to take advantage of the situation and enter.
Panlong General Zhao Jinghe saw this from not far away and grabbed the spear from his personal guard.
The moment I got my hands on it, the tip of the spear emitted a dark purple light.
He then aimed at the direction the hinge was flying and threw the spear.
With a sharp clang, the spear pierced the center of the hinge and plunged deep into the ground.
The two large iron balls on the hinge quickly got tangled together and could no longer move.
Zhao Jinghe rode over, grabbed the spear shaft with one hand, and pulled out the spear along with the hinge!
The speed does not decrease during this process.
Then he grabbed the spear and swung it around, causing the hinge to slowly open, while simultaneously imbuing it with purplish-red elemental energy.
"go with!"
Zhao Jinghe pointed towards the place where the demons had gathered, and the hinge broke free of the spear and flew out. Two iron balls flashing with purple light whistled through the air and headed straight there.
With the support of a nation's power, General Panlong's strength is enough to contend with immortals and demons.
Just as it was about to fall into the crowd, a flash of yellow light appeared, and the hinge and iron ball suddenly disappeared.
