Before Zhang Xiaohao could even make a move, Feng Shenzi above the gigantic city saw the City Protection Array tottering on the verge of collapse under the frenzied assault of the Barbaric Beasts, and his face grew so dark it was downright ugly.

"Hmph! Even a Barbaric Beast on par with the Late Mahayana Stage has joined the fray. In that case, this old man won’t keep hiding his hand! Pass down the order—activate the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads!" Feng Shenzi gave a cold laugh.

As a mid-tier race with a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years, the Wind God Clan’s foundations weren’t as deep as those super great clans, but they were still extremely profound.

As Feng Shenzi’s voice fell, a hundred thousand Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm stepped forward in unison, their gazes coldly locking onto the Barbaric Beasts outside, not bothering to conceal the killing intent in their eyes in the slightest.

They each took out a transparent bead the size of a baby’s fist. The instant these beads appeared, everything in the surroundings seemed to freeze in place.

"Go!!!" the middle-aged man in the lead gave a low bellow.

He suddenly hurled the baby-fist-sized Ocean Stabilizing Divine Pearl in his hand, and right after him, the Cultivators behind him also threw out the transparent beads in their hands. In an instant, a hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads shot into the sky, arranging themselves in the air into a super terrifying Formation. With a single turn of the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads, under the control of their hundred thousand wielders, a horrifying might burst forth from those beads.

With a flickering spin, the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads flew out of the great Formation and landed in the sky outside. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Countless milky-white Power of Time Law radiated out from the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads. Wherever that milky-white Power of Laws passed, the surrounding space and everything else were completely frozen, even the attacks of those Barbaric Beasts were locked in place by the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads. The milky-white dense fog surged forward, and wherever it passed, regardless of the Barbaric Beasts’ cultivation level, they were all frozen in that instant without a single exception.

The surrounding Ice Flame Sky Lanterns, with the aid of these hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads, were like tigers that had grown wings. Under the spells of their controllers, they swept forward madly, freezing more and more Barbaric Beasts and turning them into icy dust.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of thousands of the Barbaric Beast Army died under the combined might of the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads and the Ice Flame Sky Lanterns; by the time they died, these Barbaric Beasts didn’t even have the ability to strike back.

"Hm? Power of Time Law? How is that possible? And a hundred thousand beads at once! Even if the Wind God Clan has tens of thousands of years of heritage and is one of the mid-tier races of the Spirit Realm, their foundations shouldn’t be this deep! There’s no way they’d own so many Law Treasures of Time Law!" Zhang Xiaohao thought in shock as he watched this scene.

He had no idea that three thousand years ago, Feng Shenzi had obtained a stone the size of a table, within which was contained a terrifying Power of Time Law. After trying all kinds of methods and failing to break the stone, under the guidance of a crafting grandmaster, Feng Shenzi forged a hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads, then placed those beads around the giant stone, letting them absorb day and night the Power of Time Law contained within.

After more than a thousand years of absorption, the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads finally sucked the stone completely dry of its Power of Time Law, which led to the scene before them now.

"Hmph! ’A thousand times I searched for him in the crowd, suddenly turning my head, I found him right before my eyes!’ I’ve been searching so bitterly for so long and haven’t found even a halfway decent Law Treasure, yet I run into a hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads here, each packed full of dense Power of Time—truly Heaven itself is helping me!" Zhang Xiaohao thought excitedly.

Thinking this, Zhang Xiaohao could no longer hold back. His body flickered, and he rapidly charged forward.

Roar!

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao leap off its shoulder, the Integration Middle Stage Barbaric Beast panicked, letting out a low roar as if urging Zhang Xiaohao to hurry back.

If these Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads weren’t destroyed, more and more Barbaric Beasts would die under the combined slaughter of the beads and the Ice Flame Sky Lanterns. Even if the Barbaric Beast Army eventually broke through the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads and the Ice Flame Sky Lanterns, the price they’d pay would be enormous—something Zhang Xiaohao had no wish to see.

Activating his Space Law talent, Zhang Xiaohao appeared in front of the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads in a single flash. Just as he arrived, a vast torrent of Power of Time Law surged out of the dense fog, about to lock him in place.

"Hmph! In front of the Child of Time, you think this trifling Power of Time Law can freeze me? What a ridiculous joke! Besides, you haven’t even drawn out the true might of this Time Law, and you dare take it out to show off? Utter ignorance!" Zhang Xiaohao said with contempt.

"Time Talent!" Zhang Xiaohao gave a low shout.

His terrifying Time Law Talent roared to life. The Power of Time Law rushing toward him was directly absorbed into his body the instant it touched him. As his Time Law Talent operated, the surrounding Power of Time Law was drawn in and refined by him, increasing his own Time Law Talent.

Gradually, as Zhang Xiaohao advanced step by step, the Power of Time Law around him grew thinner and thinner, all of it absorbed and refined by him, turned into his nourishment, strengthening his Time Law Talent.

Very soon, Zhang Xiaohao arrived before the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads.

Looking at the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads before him, Zhang Xiaohao’s lips curled up in a playful smile as he cast a mocking glance at the people atop the gigantic city.

"Devour!!!" Zhang Xiaohao let out a low roar.

As his voice fell, the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads before him turned into streaks of multicolored light, flying one after another into Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth, to be quickly swallowed down by him.

This sudden scene scared the people atop the gigantic city so badly they almost pissed themselves.

By the time they snapped out of it and tried to stop him, it was already too late. All hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads had been swallowed by Zhang Xiaohao.

With the hundred thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Beads gone, the surrounding Barbaric Beast Army regained their freedom of movement, though the Ice Flame Sky Lanterns were still present.

With a flip of his right hand, a black steel fork the size of a grain of rice appeared in his palm.

"Go!!!" Zhang Xiaohao gave a cold snort and suddenly hurled the grain-of-rice-sized steel fork toward the sky. The moment that tiny steel fork spun once in the air and came crashing back down, it had already transformed into a gigantic iron rod tens of thousands of zhang thick and tens of thousands of zhang long, carrying terrifying power as it smashed ferociously onto the City Protection Formation.

The City Protection Formation, which had already been tottering, shattered completely with a resounding crack as that world-shaking strike came down.
